Learn the ins and outs of macOS High Sierra. Discover how to manage files; work with Mail, Calendar, and Messages; install new apps and games; back up your computer; and more.
- [Nick] Welcome to macOS High Sierra Essential Training. I'm Nick Brazzi. macOS is the operating system for Macintosh computers. It's the primary interface and the basic system that supports all of the software on a Mac. High Sierra is just the name for this specific version of the operating system, version 10.13. This course will give you a look at all of the essentials to get you running in general, with a Macintosh computer, running High Sierra. I'll start by helping you understand the core interface elements in the operating system, so that you can store all of your files and work with applications running on the Mac.
Next, we'll look at the essential techniques for saving files, organizing them, and finding them if you ever lose them. We'll take a look at the most important applications that come bundled with a Macintosh computer, and also see how to install new applications. We'll finish up by looking at your options for backing up your computer which will protect your data in case your computer's ever lost, damaged, or you just lose some files. There's a lot to cover. I hope you're ready to dive in. Let's get started with macOS High Sierra Essential Training.
