All language subtitles for 6_Mac OS

The last operating
system we'll go

over is Apple's Mac OS.

We won't go into
too many details

about how to use this OS.

Instead, we'll focus
on the ins and

outs of Windows and Linux OS's.

But if you know one
operating system,

you'll be able to navigate
any operating system.

Fortunately, all Apple computers

come with Mac OS pre-installed.

We'll just go through
the important parts

of the operating system.

Here's the desktop
environment for our Mac.

At the bottom here, you'll see

a dock with shortcuts
to your applications.

In the top right, you've got

the system information
like the time and date,

network connectivity,
battery life,

if you have a laptop, and
some other quick settings.

In the top left here,

you can see the Apple icon.

This bar will
change menu options

depending on what
application is open.

But if you click
on the Apple icon,

you'll see more options.

You can tell your
computer to sleep,

restart, and power
off from here.

The most important thing
we want to look at is

that the System
Preferences menu item.

This launches our
system settings.

From here, we can change any
of our computer settings,

like setting the orientation
of our mouse scroll,

adding and removing users,
setting up printers,

changing our screensavers,

adding Bluetooth
devices, and more.

I'm going to click
on the desktop now.

You'll notice our
top-left setting

changed from our System
Preferences to Finder.

Finder is the file
manager for all Macs.

If you open a new Finder window,

you can navigate the files
and folders on your Mac.

If you right-click on a file

or if you're using a Mac laptop,

you can use a two-finger
click on a file to view

more information and perform
lots of different tasks.

The Mac, which is

a completely different
operating system,

the Windows or Linux,

operates in a very similar way
with similar menu options.

You've really come a long way.

You've been introduced
to the major

operating systems used today,

gotten to play around
with the system and even

perform some common
tasks. Nice work.

It's important in any IT role
to know the ins and outs of

operating systems
because you'll be

interacting with them
every single day.

Installing, managing,

and navigating
operating systems are

all tasks that you'll have to do

daily as an IT
support specialist.

You may even find yourself
doing this for hundreds,

if not thousands of machines
in your fleet one day.
