Mac Tutorial: Multi-Touch Trackpad

[MEMZ2012]

You forgot how to show gestures in webpages and texts. Gestures*

[godz67]

Thumbs UP IF your trying this on your laptop!

[22perezl]

can you do that in a macbook late 2006

[NindoTech]

7 peoples only have one finger....

[kidcash1231]

How do u click on things if there's no button plz help!!!!!!

[purelpord]

@kidcash1231

you tap to "click"

If you have it on a flat surface and press down, it "clicks" also.

[dickran2142battle]

RIP STEVE JOBS :(

[purelpord]

@mrswells1983

you tap or press down for the physical click.

its all configurable in the settings after you get one. they are well worth it! I love the magic trackpad.

I am glad I use MacBook. Its multitouch function is just wonderful.

[kutekallie]

I have to get use to the track pad i keep rotating my designs in Photoshop while working on them

[robinamybass1]

lol...I have 7000 cat pics- at least!

[tf88888888]

the only thing which i envy mac book users is the touchpad

[Korbert]

This is the only thing Mac does better than PC. It's really a great feature.

[MrTheYoussef]

why would i rotate a photo

[pandaSmore]

@MrTheYoussef Maybe you're editing it, or you want to view something in the photo at a different angle.

[monez14]

Thumbs up if you are NOT part of the 5% fanboy club who prefers to pay twice as much for the same hardware with fruit on the cover

[nagromat]

@monez14 I just got a MacBook pro - I wanted a 13" Notebook... and had a good look around! There were few other notebooks that came close to the same spec, most that were similar were around the same price! The majority of the other notebooks have no where near as good build quality, screen or battery life... Please - if you can find a better notebook for £999 than my MacBook Pro - let me know! I still have a few days to send this one back! :D

[Mshetty313]

can you right click on the macbook pro without actually clicking the trackpad

[BlindLightbulb]

@Mshetty313 yes, you can activate tap-to-click easily in the preferences menu

[bposmedia]

very straight forward. I got the trackpad and haven't used my mouse since

[55555jmoney]

Is there a video editing program or a Photoshop tool? If there is I'm getting a mac!

[BrandonScott1001]

i want a mac so badly!

[swheat09]

@BrandonScott1001 ebay its great deals out there

[Superkaye123]

@BrandonScott1001 yea i know i used to torture myself by looking at unboxing videos

[Rifalltoo]

I did not know it could to those three and four finger gestures. That is what I call innovation.

[Fl0wersInTheWind0w]

is the multi touch pad a new hard ware upgrade? or is it the same pad thing on y macbook white 2,1?

[Thefashiongirl13]

macs are mainly for everything video production pictures video chatting it is best for artist the mac is found that most artist buy it like me im not an artist im an ametur phographer im getting a macbook 13 inch white for videos and pictures

[Smgreenfrog]

@Kossrifle

You are SOO wrong.....my school got a grant and they got MacBooks...EVERYONE graduating HATED giving up our macs..I begged my parents to get me one..they did and I LOVEEEE ITT!!!!!!!!!:)) it's the 2008 15inch pro.

[Kossrifle]

@LuisMollmann

I've found out people only use the mac for internet usage, because they can't support anything else.

But when google os comes out the mac will have no one using it.

[MultiVladimir12]

i have byed a new mac its great

[hkfan1980]

this dont work on my macbook :(

[TVFOGGED]

I love this dam thing.

[mantramindware]

awesome, intuitive and mouse arm saving!

[AlphaStory]

just wondering how come Apple in general is just obsessed with picture management? Seems in every product they just focus on smart and new ways to manage pictures. Wonder if anyone actually has that many pictures.

[mlcruleznusuck]

I have over 10gb of pictures =/.

[mantramindware]

what else do you want to use a pc which needs ten minutes to open a preview of a picture folder

[chobotnorgolbo]

@mantramindware i want a PC to keep crashing and freeze my PC everytime

xD

[Wodadezu]

@AlphaStory

The only function which is picture specific is the rotation feature. All the other functions work on firefox/safari webbrowsers. As a mac owner I find these abilities useful.

[jfahler]

@AlphaStory Photographers do - and it's VERY helpful to have.

[byvette020]

@AlphaStory I have 8,534 pictures...

[guslingus]

@AlphaStory I work in Film and its all we do all day...

[Coryewing1]

@AlphaStory I have tons of pictures :)

[Rifalltoo]

@AlphaStory Pictures take up half my family's hard drive. So yeah.

[LordDecapo]

@AlphaStory it just demontrates the concepts of what it can do to give ppl ideas on what the possiblities are

[ManleyMan2009]

@AlphaStory Along with what @LordDecapo said, a hobby shared by most of the Apple engineering team is photography.

[galwaybball24]

@AlphaStory you know you can use these at any time not just pics it is just easier to explain using pictures. Instead of actually opening safari

[iamnicklamb]

@AlphaStory i do.

[wdrpsp19]

@AlphaStory Correct me if I'm wrong, but, MACs are mainly focused on design.... so its good for those doing arts/media/graphics/music... Thats how I use em... I use Linux for my other stuff... but for graphics n music, Mac is better.... (for me, Windows is for games and other stuff requiring compatibility)...

So for photographers and other branches/degrees relating to art, I'd say Mac is better..

[purelpord]

@AlphaStory

Because macs are for creative professionals and family people.

[empire562]

wow ... lol

[bdub24j]

Good selling point for heavy multi-taskers.

[katewilson233]

My fren gave me this toll free number 18004254646 and i'm being told that Apple is giving good offers for University students in India. I love it.

[Karkemish07]

I'm going to have a mackbook for new year!!

first time in my life :D

xD poor me, but i'm happy ^^

[lildmoneymusic]

me too on january the 3rd im sooooooo excited ive been stuck with a slow pc

[Bryant5493]

That's cool.

I'm doing some research into the MacBook. I currently have an Acer. I produce a lot YouTube videos, and my system freezes sometimes during production and/or after the production process.

[milne98989]

im so buying one of these... being a uni student in the uk you get 15% off.. so it brings the price closer to rivals so i think its all good... i hear the pro can also run microsoft windows which i might need for my files on my pc, does anyone know if you can do this?

[swedes95]

there is an application called parralel which basically runs windows on the mac. You have to download it, it isn't standard

[Inazumaa]

isnt that what bootcamp is for?

[swedes95]

Nope boot camp means you can dual boot it but Parralels lets you run windows as an application on the mac interface

[nagulant]

yes. you need to buy windows for mac

[ThePitchersArsenal]

i got this for my b-day today, its insanely cool!! great video

[ArielA3337]

TOO MANY SHORTCUT i am always gonna be doing them by accident!!!

[scarlettestr]

Go to System Preferences in the Applications folder. Under the "Hardware" heading it says trackpad. Click on that to customize your shortcuts. You can click each check box which un-checks=disables the shortcuts you don't want.

[twistedxtransister]

2 bad

[nil1230]

u want 1

[NickLambPhotography]

i want 1

[Schreibey]

Finally! I could not figure out how I was zooming in on my email all the time! Now I know! Great info!!!!

[8DaVinci12]

WHOA

[b0nes2]

I just want to know how to double click. Is it the whole touchpad or just the bottom part? Someone please answer this, I am about to pull the trigger on a MacBook.

[Imaginaci0n]

check your settings (touchpad). Normal setting is: one finger on the pad, tap by second finger (right). If you set it to 'secondary tap', it will change to tapping with two fingers. Very convenient.

I found out by asking a friend how she did it. Good advice for when that first doesn't work out :)

[scarlettestr]

Go the system preferences then "trackpad" to choose what action signifies a double click (in preferences it's called secondary click.) By default I think it is the right bottom corner. I find that tedious so I set it to do a secondary tap with two fingers but it's up to you.

[jpxsaid]

cool video!

I didn't even knew some of them

lol ;P

[JackieIsLove]

I got this one, its sick

[4k3el]

i can do al that except for the 4 finger touch. can i get that setting on my mac book pro?

[roxdbox]

does this work on my white macbook?

[pwnrmasta]

nope, only on new ones

[roxdbox]

damned! why i'm buying white macbook 1 week before the new one is come?!
