I almost never use a mac; mostly because I never had the need to do it and because I never
felt comfortable using it. It counts with a complete different system that I’m not
familiarized with. But after reading this module I learned a few things about using a macOS
device that can be useful in the future.
One of those things was running an app using Launchpad. Icons for any app that is installed
on your computer may be found in Launchpad. Drag the program's icon from Launchpad to
the Dock if you routinely use Launchpad to run an app.
Safari offers the Smart Search box because you might not be able to remember the precise
URL of the website you wish to visit. To use this, you will have to type the search text in
the Smart Search field and then press the Return key, with Safari running. Then click a link
after scrolling the search results. If your desired results do not show on the first page of
results, click the links in the search results box to access further pages. Lists of search
results sometimes span numerous pages.
Finder provides various ways to display apps, folders, and files: icon view, list view,
column view, and cover flow view. To customize the way this is shown, you just have to
click the view button located on the upper-left side of the window.
You may show a system report if you wish to generate more in-depth information about the
hardware of your computer as well as details about the network and installed applications.
First, you will have to click the apple icon on the menu bar to display the Apple menu. In
there, click ‘About This Mac’. Then, click the System Report button in the About This Mac
window to display the system information. And finally, click the categories and items in the
sidebar to display relevant information.
