This Mac tips is for each major novice partners to provide a quick start guide, I hope to help you.
Having used the Mac for so long, I have to sigh that the Apple ecosystem is indeed very strong, and even better than Windows in some experiences. My favorite feature is the multi-desktop function of the Mac, which can make every work clear when working with multiple threads. Let’s continue to learn some Mac tips this time!
1. Enable multiple desktops on the Mac
The multi-desktop feature was introduced on the Mac and later on in Windows, and I have to say it’s really helpful for managing files.
1. You can add or delete desktops by swiping up the touch pad in three directions
2. You can switch back and forth between these desktops, and you can even set the wallpaper according to different desktops for easy search
2. Unlock your Mac with an Apple Watch without a password
Everyone knows that Apple’s ecosystem has always been strong, so if you have an Apple Watch, you can connect them.
1. Ensure that Wi-Fi and Bluetooth are enabled on the Mac, that both Mac and Apple Watch have logged in to iCloud using the same Apple ID, and that the Apple ID has enabled two-factor authentication
2. Open “System Preferences” — “Security and Privacy” on the Mac
3. Enable use your AppleWatch Unlock APP and Mac or Allow AppleWatch to unlock Mac.
The auto-unlock function only works if you are wearing an unlocked watch and are in close proximity to your Mac. Make sure your Mac supports automatic unlocking.

2, enter the Mac login password (input is the screen will not display, directly enter), press Enter to confirm
3, “command+Q” exit to clear the DNS cache

2. Click “System Info” and choose “Power” to view the battery status and cycle times of your Mac
