I cant seem to add photos to People how do i add more photos not already in there.
You’re Mac book didn’t look dirty. Maybe their screen was dirty. People complain of the most silly things. You’re voice is fine. All I can say about this generation it expostulates a lot.
I am not sure what everyone else’s experience w/ High Sierra has been but mine has been fantastic. Main reason is because of Apple’s File System.
Boot times as well as battery life improved greatly and my macbook pro of from late 2011.
Hello, i got a cuestión; how do you do to open that little window with icons like shortcuts? Thanks
My mbp is HIGH now!!!
OS “ecks” and Jiff?
I am glad that they finally brought back some useful functions of Aperture to the photo app.
go bucks!!!
Yeah, keeping your bank PIN numbers in iCloud notes is really handy.
it might as well be called a Sierra Service pack 2
Using quick-look with a flac file just highlights the time/duration of the track for me – no info whatsoever even though they are tagged AND the very annoying bug where finder doesn’t show embedded artwork in mp3/aac 🙁
Does anyone know if it’s possible to open Capture One inside Photos?
In practice, actually nothing has changed except for the new file systems in SSDs…
It’s HEVC, and not HVEC. You lost my confidence from the start.
does photoshop cs6 works with OS High Sierra?
we need that external gpu through thunderbolt bolt 2 and not just 3 … it can handle a lot of stuff apart from games
Lol you talk like a bitch. What the fuck is that beverly hills bitch accent you got.
“We uhnzo hav de new-unh Medal 2” “As well-uh”
Pretty handy
Your reading cadence needs a lot of work, its distracting. Your anunciation is not good, you sound stressed out and the read sounds rushed, which will make listeners stressed out as well. Half the time it sounds like you’re mumbling. Listen to good reads and mimick them. You need to work on relaxing, using your breathing and pauses correctly, and opening up your voice. Hope you realize this is just constructive criticism. Cheers.
How does to it work with the photo editing with third party app? You start the photo editing with e.g Pixelmator from photo app and then all changes in Pixelmator should be saved in photo app directly…but how does it work? I tried to use it with pixelmator but no changes were saved in photo app…
TIL
You can play picture in picture on YouTube videos. F*ck I love it!
Holy shit this comments sections filled with the most reprehensible turds imaginable. I can’t believe people are THIS douchey.
I think this update is better to have on the NEW MacBook Pro 2016, ill download it and tell you whats up…
Hoe do you get metal 2 I have high sierra I’m trying to play fortnite but says I need to have metal 2 and doesnt support OpenGL
You need to speed the voice-over up.Too slow.
No offense, but is really tired to understand your content. Learning how business presentation work may help u delivery ur content more clearly and effectively
macOS 10.13 is the best name ever
Pooping gay voice
dude not installing it.
20:00 still sounds bad compared to Google Assistant
WHAT THE FUCK WITH YOUR VOICE? FUCKING HELL
Where’s the eGPU support
why is your MacBook so dirty man
how do we deal with this feature
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mWmNyXr-Jc0
+1 for playing Dota on Macbook 😀
Why are people commenting about your voice? It sounds just fine
So many pauses while talking..
dude clean this shit
Where is the new picture n picture option on the MacBook with touch bar?
I’m on mac os sierra, i have the message mark as read and reply feature form my notification ? :/ and you can already type to siri, well not completely type but amend what you say i suppose with the keyboard.
Hmm.. why is it not yet possible for safari to play 4K video on youtube? Even in high Sierra
You can keep your High Syria. I don’t want none of that refugee crap in my good ol American Macbook! It’s an Apple MacBook, not an Ahmed Mahmoodbook.
Why so many negative and judgmental comments? I swear you fucks complain about the smallest goddamn things these days. If it’s not to your liking just go find another video with another person willing to take time out of his or her life to make it, only to have you point out how you hate their voice or how they should have cleaned their computer before filming or other dumb shit like that. Or better yet, YOU make the video and see what kind of trivial shit people make fun of YOU for…
Does photo app support RAW format from Canon, Nikon or other cameras?
sadly Siri still sucks. I asked it “when was the iPhone 4 released ” i couldn’t answer. The competitors could including Cortana
siri sounds absolutely terrible on my machine!
You are very well informed how ever you try and cover a lot in my opinion in this one video and I am an older man and I find you speak too fast and I have to stop and go back continually, I do appreciate your efforts to better inform iMac users of High Sierra.
Um… I don’t watch movies. I’ve never owned a tv and I’m 47
