You can create daily reminders to do things like take pills using either the Reminders app or the Calendars app. Figure out which one is best for you.

The Mail app in macOS Ventura is gainign the ability to undo send, schedule an email, remind you about an email later, and also improved search. In Messages, you will be able to delete a message you sent and edit as well, at least for iMessage.

This is definitely something I do not recommend, but if anyone is curious how to do it anyway... I used the free UTM virtualization app to install Ventura Beta 1 as a virtual machine on my Mac Studio. Had to do it with Monterey 12.5 Beta 2 first, then update. But eventually it worked. One note: You cannot use iCloud or the App Store inside a virtual machine, so this has limited use beyond testing apps or doing some tutorials.

The magnifier on your iPhone is a hidden app that you can use to read small text on medicine, food items, menus and more. You can also temporarily save images so you don't need to keep the iPhone pointed at the item.

Watch as I investigate some new macOS Ventura stuff like Live Captions, the new Clock and Weather apps, dictation changes and more. Kind of long and rambling, but I wanted to share some of these things with you before I had time to do proper MacMost videos on them.

Accidents happen and things get deleted. Here are several ways you can get back deleted text, files and other items on your Mac.

System Preferences is now System Settings with categories listed on the left, settings in a list on the right, and new options and arrangements throughout.

You can get the sum, average and perform other calculations on selected cells without needing to create a formula in another cell. The Quick Calculations appear at the bottom of the Numbers window whenever you have more than one cell selected. They also can be dragged-and-dropped to create permanent formulas and will obey filters.

Some interesting things today. Here is what caught my eye most. FYI: Downloading and installing Ventura now. Will be able to share some things by the end of the week I'm sure.

Apple announced the new M2 processor and a new MacBook Air and MacBook Pro at today's WWDC keynote event. They also gave us a preview of a long list of new features in macOS 13 "Ventura" and iOS 16 and iPad OS 16. Here's what caught my eye.

In this special live video I look at many different ways to use your Mac keyboard to control everything. Learn how to launch apps, select text, manage your files, and so much more.

When you drag and drop a file from one folder to another on a Mac, sometimes this will move the file, and sometimes this will copy the file. Learn when a drag is a move vs a copy and how to choose the other option.

When you transfer a file between Mac and Windows, or upload to a cloud service, you may notice that the file size looks different. Windows and most cloud services use a different way to measure sizes like megabytes than Macs do. The file is actually the same size, just the math used to get those file size numbers is different.

Follow me down a rabbit hole as I look at how to combine Shortcuts, a Terminal command, a shell script and the crontab on your Mac to set up a text messages to be send in the future. You may not be interested in the end result here, but there's a lot to learn along the way!

What to consider when you are thinking of buying a new Mac. Should you buy when you need a new Mac, or when Apple comes out with a new model? How do you know when Apple is about to release something new?

You can use the Live Listen feature on your iPhone to use it and your AirPods as a simple hearing aid, allowing you to hear voices clearer even in the next room.

You can change the size of the pointer as well as the border and outline color. If you want more options, you can always get a third-party app, though some options are only achieved using screen recording apps.

There are two different modes in Mac Pages. It is important to know the differences between these modes and when to use Word Processing Mode or Page Layout Mode.

The Start Page in Safari is often ignored, but it can be a very useful tool. By removing some items from it and actively maintaining others, it can be your go-to screen in Safari.

You can use default text transformations on your Mac to convert text to upper or lower case, or to capitalize every word. However, it is better to use styling in Pages. You can also create your own custom text transformation with Shortcuts.
