Mac OS X Tiger For Dummies. By Bob LeVitus. Take a minute to look at the row of icons at the bottom of your display. That row is the Dock, and those individual pictures are known as icons. Dock icons are a quick way to bring a hidden window or application to the front so that you can work with it again. Dock icons are odd ducks — they’re. Image Capture is an Apple native app and comes integrated into any Mac (OS X or macOS). It allows users to upload images from digital cameras, iDevices, or scanners either connected directly to the Mac or the network. You can use it even for deleting undeletable images from your iDevice. To launch Image Capture on your Mac, follow these.
I’m sure most Mac users know Command-C means copy and Command-V means paste, but there’s a host of other useful shortcuts that make a Mac user’s life much easier. I’ve assembled this short collection to illustrate this truth:EscNever underestimate the power of the Esc key to get you out of trouble.

That's basically the principle of Esc. Use it to cancel a previous command. Another example: Web page won't load and is sucking up your system resources?Tap Esc.Command-WCloses the active window you are currently in. Use Option-Command-W to close all currently active app windows. Further reading: Command-Y A lot of people use QuickLook to preview items they're looking for. To use QuickLook, select an item in Finder, press the Space bar and a preview will appear.

Or you can simply press Command-, (comma) to get to them in the fastest possible time.Command-GI'm sure you use Command-F to find items, such as words in a document or on a webpage. Command-G is its lesser-known relative. Use it to navigate through each instance of the item you want to find. This means that if you use Command-F to find all the mentions of 'Command' on this page, and then tap Command-G, you'll be able to navigate through each one. Oh, and you can also press Shift-Command-G to move back to the previous mention. Command-MPress this combination to minimize the front app window to Dock, or press Command-Option-M to minimize all the windows belonging to the front app.
Command and OptionIf you can’t see your desktop for all the open applications, just hold Command and Option down and click anywhere on your desktop. You may just want to get to all the open windows for a specific app, in which case hold down the same keys and click on any available window for that app. Command-Shift-ASelect this combination when in Finder/Desktop view to get to your Applications folder, or replace the A with U to open your Utilities folder in a new Finder window (or D for Desktop, H for Home or I to access iCloud Drive).

Command-TabOpen application switcher, keeping Command pressed, use Tab to navigate to the app you hope to use. Command-Option-DShow or hide the Dock from within most apps. Fn-left arrow (or right arrow)Jump directly to the top or bottom of a web page using the Function key and the right (to the bottom of the page) or left (to the top of the page) arrows on the keyboard.

Just tap Control-Shift-Command-6 and the picture will be saved to your Clipboard for pasting it in.Touch Bar tip No. 2This MacBook Pro Touch Bar tip is particularly useful if you find that you often accidentally tap the Siri button: You can change where that button is located so you're less likely to tap it by accident. Open Keyboard Preferences and choose Customize Control Strip.
Look at the Touch Bar, and you’ll see the icons are slightly agitated. Move your cursor to the bottom of your screen and keep moving (as if you're moving it off the screen); you should see one of the items in your Touch bar highlighted.
Now move your cursor to highlight the Siri button and then drag and drop that button a space or two to the left.(This is also an excellent way to become familiar with how you can edit other items in your Touch Bar.)Touch Bar tip No. 3Do you use the function keys regularly in some apps? You can get to them, of course, by pressing the ‘fn’ character.
But it's also possible to set up the Touch Bar so it always shows the function keys in those apps. To do this, open Keyboard System Preferences, select Function Keys, and tap +. You can then select the app(s). Don’t worry if you want to use a regular Control Strip command when you're using one of the apps — just press Fn to get back to that view.Safari tipsThere are lots of keyboard tips for the Safari browser:.
