[itman131313]

@TheDamianwer yeah dude

[sergioangel8]

Thanks! I have more than 20 years working in Windows environment, but right now I am starting using Mac and your video helps me a lot. I really appreciate!

[Ian1329]

macs suck! i'm watching this on my superior windows 7 system. pcs are better than macs.

[ferizt97]

yes girl you important oh? i no speak english jajaja

[Technoboy7779]

How do you record your screen? I am not a mac user yet, but soon I will be getting a iMac!

[bossepy1]

What is the point of having both close & minimize button, when they both done the same thing? When you close the safari, instead of exit the application, it minimize into application icon

[TheMagicMacStop]

I think this is wonderful for starters and my friend watched this vid and is now saving up for a mac

[NickLambify]

What Mac do you have?

[eyeojo]

You are a very clear maestra!

[TrustedInstaller]

Haha, she can't have sex so she spends her time on the computer talking about boring shit on a mac. WINDOWS BITCH!

[beauke02]

@TrustedInstaller Is that why WINDOWS USERS! make Docks for windows ?

[ipodappshelpyou]

@TrustedInstaller no actually thats you and no offence but windows is kinda not as good as a mac i have windows myself but not mac and you can run windows on a mac via BOOTCAMP

[haynakaw999]

Great video. Im thinking of getting an imac for my personal use, email/office work and stuff. Just want it separate from my gaming and porn surfing pc hahaha.

[Arijas0tikrasis]

i dunno i love to test new things by myslef coz its more interstening , unless u're really stuck

[CJCA915]

I hate that in OS X, when you click close it doesn't really close in most cases.

I prefer the Windows version of maximize, because I'm usually doing one thing out of all the things I'm doing at a time, and I prefer to have the roomy feeling of all the white space, lol.

Finder is more like Explorer in Windows, it's the main thing that launches initially at startup, there really is no real equivalent to the Windows Start Button in OS X.

[TobiCollab]

what kind of imac do you have? i have the new imac 27 inch

[zantoshi]

Nice Introduction : )

[MdsFiveOhOneFour]

Can you buy me a macbook pro :)

[brillienta]

Does screenflow come with a mac? If not how much is it?

[jackies35]

@brillienta If I am not mistaken its $99

[Mossypne123]

Does screenflow come with a mac, if not were can i download and for how much?

[jackies35]

@Mossypne123 You probably could use Quicktime to record the screen and the audio. All new macbook pro comes with this software!

Screencast is $99 but a 30 day trial is available!

[Jared3737]

Hasn't anyone noticed that Microsoft copied many things that Apple has done in OS X, and are incorporated into Windows 7?

[microsoftaddict]

@Jared3737 ok, ignore my username for this question because i am genuinely interested: which things did microsoft copy? im not saying they didnt copy i just want to know what

[jackies35]

@Jared3737 Yes! If I wanted to stay competitive, I will copy what Apple did and doing!

Vista was the worst thing ever for Microsoft and can't be erased... Many Vista users just went ahead and purchased a Mac!

[TrustedInstaller]

@Jared3737 Actually No, they have not. If they did anyways who cares? Buy one use it, if you don't like it then switch.

[ryancouture]

what exactly is it about macs that you like so much missy?

[jackies35]

@ryancouture Wow! I am surprised she never responded!

I guess she loves the navigation and the easy user friendly experience of a Mac computer!

It comes with some great software and the customer service is outstanding!

[eddiexbff]

this is awesome, im buying a mac soon and i love these kind of videos cos ive been using windows forever! hahaa

cant wait for the finder one

[Mean1996Girl]

apart from screenflow how can u record videos on mac

[cct95]

what happens if you close the finder short cut, does it always have to be opened or still running??

[onedollarkid1]

I want to get an iMac but I have a question: do you recommend the apple apple care i could i do without?

[brownsuga91]

Yeah I would like to know the same thing

[missamberrich]

@morvern66 it is the disk drive...if you put a disk in the driver the clicking will stop...its normal for white macs...its your computers way of trying to find a disk

[morvern66]

I tried putting a disk in the driver and leaving it in, but it still clicks every 15-30 seconds... I can't figure out what it is. It's not so loud, only pretty annoying.

[myRAWnerve]

@italkapple :D

[massiekurxx4]

Can you make a video that is for people who are very familiar with Macs?

[varquez7]

.i like the cut elittle finder icon there..xD

[morvern66]

Great vid! I'm a new mac user & I just bought the macbook whiite unibody. Question: When I sit in a really quiet room I can hear a faint clicking sound from the left side of the computer, every 15, 30 seconds. Confession: I'm kinda anal about stuff like that, so is the noise normal or do I go to apple? Is there a possibility there will be a firmware update to stop it?

[iTalkApple]

@morvern66 it could be the hard drive... is the clicking loud?? i mean computers tend to make noises... does it make the noise when you aren't using it? i would only worry if it's making the noise when it's on but you aren't using it.

[morvern66]

I took it to the apple store and they checked it out and said there was nothing they could do about it, and that if anything was wrong with the computer it will manifest itself with time and then I can come back... I guess I'll have to get used to it... :(

[geekfreackz]

It makes a "clunk" noise, right?

That's the sudden motion sensor. My MacBook Pro does the same thing. The sudden motion sensor prevents your Mac's HD from being damaged when it's suddenly moved.

You can find out more about this sudden motion sensor on Apple's website.

[ItzMeScottG]

great video, for people who have no clue how to use a computer.

[vidal999]

Excellent As Always.....

[AppleTalker1]

did you export it or you upload it directly?

[iharrison30]

Awesome video and very very helpful to new Mac users. I think sometimes, we Mac long term users within the community can sometimes forget that we constantly have new members moving to the Mac community and so they can on occasions get left out. I find with your videos iTalk, everyone is catered for, New intermediate and Mac Pros. Excellent video and information.

[SuperMacjosh]

Thanks five stars

[gg401]

Great video, just bought a macbook pro and imac 27 and i am still learning. Your videos are helping!

[MattsMacintosh]

This is really great for beginners. I always get emails with basic questions about things like this... I'll start pointing people toward your video.

[iTalkApple]

@MattsMacintosh thanks i appreciate it

[mng1994]

YES i got the 100th rating!!! Cool video by the way!!

[TheTeckAddict]

Awsom Video! This will help me because I am saving money to get a macbook 13-inch! LOL

[runnurgurl92]

ALL of your videos are amazing and i am hoping to get a mac in the future and this video will have been very helpful

[onedollarkid1]

i want to buy an imac. do you think i should the apple care to it or could i do without?

[hugoruivinho]

great video once again, i switched to mac and i still loose myself sometimes, i guess some of my problems are:

1- create a stack (like put all office apps in a stack without putting the extra files. Ex: just word and excel but not powerpoint)

2-print screen... guess i have to memorize a combination of keys

3-some Apps (adobe cs3/cs4) don't have a "grey" background, you can see what's behind the image or html file you're editing, anoying!

Get well on your cold, best wishes from Portugal :)

[CatLavertue]

Just a note that your number 3 is actually optional... If you go to the 'Window' menu while in Photoshop (etc), and select 'Application Frame', you'll have the grey background.

[kristianknuth]

I really like you videos - I switched to Mac a year ago, and you were one of the first people I followed, your videos are a great help. I also like the fact that they are a little longer than most videos on here. Keep the good stuff coming :-)

[Robbinski14]

a new mic? no, you sound OK... maybe, for next time: see if you can show images of the default icons ;)

[Jsheerin118]

Can you tell me how to minimize apps into there own application button?

[morvern66]

Great vid! I'm a new mac user & I have a question: I have a new macbook white unibody & I can hear a small clicking sound in the left part. It occurs at least once a minute and since I'm kinda anal about stuff like that it' driving me nuts. Is that sound normal? Otherwise the mac is really silent, but for that one noise...

[morvern66]

Love your videos! I'm a new mac user & I have a question; I have a macbook white unibody and I can hear a small click coming from the left side. It clicks at least once a minute and although it's kinda quiet I still hear it. I'm quite anal about stuff like that so can you tell me if it's normal or not?

[halfblood1000]

how did u make ur icons different ??

[iLoveeApple]

Great Video But Why You Don't Make An Intro For Your Videos

[MasaGirl219]

how did you change the icons???

[DollarBillUK]

Can you do the 'snap to maximize' function like on Windows 7? I've really got used to that. I'm thinking about buying a MacBook Pro once they get updated, Although I am very happy with Windows 7.

[sn0le]

@DollarBillUK:

There is a 3rd party app that gives you the same function as Aero Snap in W7.

[DollarBillUK]

Which app is that? Thanks.

[sn0le]

@DollarBillUK:

It's called "Cinch". :)

[dragonballjiujitsu]

Good basic how to vid.

[steen140]

those thinking of getting a mac, do it cause i did and its the best thing ever! no more annoying windows errors etc!

[zitianaki]

thanks for this video! you answered a lot of my questions for when i buy a mbp!

[AppleTalker1]

seems like your voice is still recovering from your cold anyways nice vid! n_n

[thetiggercat]

I don't think that you need a microphone, because I can hear you perfectly and if you can't then just turn up your volume. :) But, if you were to get a mic then I would suggest getting the Blue Snowball Microphone it looks like it would be of great quality.

[WinLinOSX]

I love the Finder icon! ahaha I just need a mac now to get it.

[pashyn]

great video :)

[TouchGuides]

@iTalkApple

invest into a external microphone they are great for video conferencing and they would add a better viewer enjoyment level they will get rid of most background noise. Or even just use the earphones with mic that come with the iphone or 3rd Generation iPod Touch

[sersam243]

best overview Evar!!

[danielc365]

lol the ending at 8:30 was funny (so yeah) haha great video 5*

[HuHHHHProductions]

ITALKAPPLE: YOU DONT NEED A MICROPHONE AND DONT LET ANYONE TELL YOU THAT YOU NEED ONE, we can all understand you just fine and clearly so why should you waste your money on something thats already perfect. :D

[sn0le]

Even though the Finder has a lot of nice features like Cover Flow I still prefer some of the ways Windows Explorer works, in terms of file management.

The Statusbar in Windows Explorer shows you how much space the files in the current folder use.

If you mark multiple files, rightclick and choose properties, it shows combined stats for the files.

If you do that in Finder, without holding ALT, you'll get a screen full of info-boxes, 1 pr file.

But by all means. OSX is good. I prefer it. :)

[sn0le]

And of course, Windows Explorer supports uploading files to a FTP, while Finder only supports connecting to a FTP and downloading files from it.

I use FTP alot, both private and in my work.

So when you have OSX it means that you have to have a 3rd party FTP-client.

Usually you have that on your Windows-computer as well.

But it is handy (when you are borrowing someones elses computer) to be able to use FTP for both uploading and downloading, without the need to install a program on the computer.

[ClixProductions01]

@iTalkApple thanks for the info

[lukewfilms]

nice

[TheTikinator]

I'm a new mac user and love I love it. Your videos have been the most helpful (and easy to watch) that I have found on YT. Thanks for simplifying things. Your thoughts are organized and you communicate well. Thanks for your vids.

[slappycider]

Couldn't really understand this since all your icons are changed. :(

[ViciousDave4Life]

This was nice and basic.  I always like your simple to use basic tutorial videos and others. You are an attractive girl, I'll give you that too.

[Comphelper225]

man...you kids are so spoiled...kids shouldn't have $1600 iMacs in their rooms.........you didn't even buy it yourself..

[tylorman197]

the imac is the shit!

[ClixProductions01]

What website do you use to download your icons? Thanks

[iTalkApple]

@ClixProductions01 check my channel because i made a video about it a couple weeks ago. it's called great websites for icons, walls, etc.

[strickmans]

ur pretty i was wonderinf ig u can give me a shouout

[MrTheJLUnlimited]

You don't need a microphone. You sound and look fine. :D

[agentx3]

You haven't posted a video in forever. Where have you been?

[chobotnorgolbo]

Awesome, thx

[TheApplesmasher]

Thanks, I like the "new mac" videos! Keep them coming!

[captcomputer]

Your Sexy!

[TheWindows7Mac]

Thanks! i am getting a new mac soon and i kinda knew about all this but you cleared everything i needed to know. So thanks again

P.s you're voice is not weird

P.p.s Glad your not sick

[UnboxingGirl]

Can you tell me how to get my parents to get me a iMac i want one sooo bad i already have like $102 saved sooo im getting somewhere!

[rapmaster243]

Nice Video! First time I comment on your videos too lol. This will be useful to people willing to switch to Mac OS X :)

[vicky43358]

u should do a give away for only ur subs because i really want a macbook but i cant afford it :(

[macintoshritchie]

Great video! The only thing that slightly bothered me were the different icons. It would just add to the overall introduction if they were the default you know?

[iTalkApple]

thanks :) yeah i couldn't put the icons on that account back to the default without changing everything on my account... but i figured they are mostly close enough to the originals.

[drummerkid1993]

You can always log into a guest account. As for the microphone. It would be cool to reducing the background noise.

[TechCenterTV]

@iTalkApple can you make a vid of all of your customization tools

[iTalkApple]

comment telling me if you think i need to purchase a microphone and why :)

[marquesbrownlee]

If you tune in on the built in mic correctly you don't need a microphone, but it never hurts!

If it gets to be a problem that people can't understand you or you can't boost the built-in mic enough, you might want to invest in an external microphone =]

[kizomba23]

@iTalkApple yeh i think u should it would improve the voice quality by alot plus u gotta cute voice might aswell get the best out of it

[EduardBoon]

You do not need a microphone, this sounds fine, and natural as well, with the echo-like thingy ^^, it's easier on the ear than professional Microphone's, so, I'd say, stay with the iSight :)

[sidekicklx1id]

Thank you so much I just got a macbook and i don't know a lot of things.

[Jared3737]

nice overview this made me consider a mac

[iPawdTouch]

please make videos more often! I love them!

[pobably911]

your videos are the reason i switched from windows vista to mas OSX snow leopard instead of just upgrading my desktop to windows 7 i got a brand new sparkly macbook pro 13 inch thanks :D another great video

[HuHHHHProductions]

same with me. xD

[marquesbrownlee]

Just finished watching. Great overview for beginners - they'll love it!

If someone in my family switches to Mac [How dare they!] This would be the first video I show them. Favorited =]

[iTalkApple]

@marquesbrownlee wow that means a lot coming from you!! :) and i would show your tutorials to my windows using friends if i don't convince them to switch

[marquesbrownlee]

Haha Nice! Thanks =]

[nshadoze1]

Haha. To your windows using Friends? xP
