 One, the mouse flash edge! Touch pad is better than you think.

If you use an Apple pen series, such as a MacBook Pro, a MacBook Air, and so on, you will be amazed at the huge trackpad when you first open the box. But unfortunately, amazing often only to maintain the next, because the use of it does not seem like people say so good, in the end is how ~ what?

It is undeniable that in the Mac's Highland Factory preset The trackpad is really not working. However, as long as a number of useful settings can be opened to liberate the trackpad function! First, click on the Apple pattern in the upper left corner of the screen to open system preferences. Click on the "trackpad" in the red circle above when you open it.

When you open it, you'll find in fact, this trackpad is not just used as a mouse, in the red circle of the three pages, all add up to a total of 15 different trackpad control gestures can be set, and the speed of the touch plate can also be set here.

Basically here is not very need to teach, one or 15 settings after the end of the dark, and each set next to have a model film show you Know "what this function can do." Therefore, we may wish to directly point to the setting page, each touch gestures to make clear, you will find that the function of the trackpad is actually a lot more than the mouse!

Sign: Each function can be set to another gesture, you can choose the most accustomed gestures. (Red circle section above)

  Second, skillfully with Mission control, so that you can not be afraid of Windows more!

There are no Windows-like work columns on the MAC, so for Apple novices, Mission control is an absolutely essential feature to avoid getting lost in a large number of "Windows".

After several upgrades, from the 10-year-old Mac OS 10.3 built-in "expose" to the current Mission control, this feature has always been a good helper for the Mac to manage Windows. Just press the button on the red circle in the picture (if you use a non-Apple keyboard, press F9) or four fingers slide up and down on the trackpad, you can start this feature, as shown below:

Up to this point, the Mission control function is very obvious, that is, to disperse all the windows, so that users can find the window you want to use. But Mission control can be more than that simple Oh!

Mission control combines multiple desktops and windows to diffuse two functions, users can directly put your "want to not appear in this desktop" window to the upper right corner to drag, and then you can get a new "desktop." In this way, you can put all the same type of work windows on the same desktop, such as desktop a page, desktop two-place document processing, desktop music iTunes ... Wait, don't worry because the desktop is full of windows and the productivity is reduced! If you want to quickly switch between the desktop, just press Ctrl + left or right arrow keys, or direct four fingers on the trackpad slide around, you can quickly switch the desktop!

Although Mission control is good, it is not easy to manipulate if there are too many windows. Just move your mouse cursor over the stacked window (like the red circle above), roll the mouse wheel online, or two fingers sliding on the trackpad (how do you scroll up and down in the Web page, using the same method), you can spread the stacked windows like the one below.

It will still be folded after the spread, and you will find that when you move the cursor to one of the windows, the window will appear as above the arrow refers to the "blue frame", this time as long as the keyboard blank key, you can see the following image of the blue box appears in the front of the window to the top!

Learn these two strokes Mission control secret technology, absolutely can let you get started the MAC's operating interface quickly!

Note: When using Mission control, press the keyboard Shift at the same time, there will be unexpected magic effect Oh!

  Third, memorize shortcuts, so that you control the computer very quickly!

There is a button on the Mac called "command", located in the keyboard blank key on either side, that is, the general Microsoft Keyboard "alt" button. This button replaces the Windows CTRL key on the MAC system, almost all of which must be pressed CTRL on Windows, such as CTRL + C, CTRL + V, on the Mac, as long as you change to command. (As for the MAC CTRL key was used to right-click the mouse, it's another story ...)

But for many people, the yuan Ben is less likely to use shortcuts on Windows and doesn't know how to use it on the MAC. At this time there are two ways to help you solve the problem of not knowing the shortcut key, but also can let you operate the computer more fluent Oh!

When you click on the program's menu, you will often see that each feature is followed by a string of strange symbols and English numerals, which is the shortcut key to this function. As long as you keep in mind the symbol table in the diagram above, you can easily read all the shortcuts. If you still have a shortcut key that you don't understand, can also directly on the Apple website to understand Oh!

 Four, the flexible icloud, the address book, the calendar, the remote control once to fix!

The first time you start a device such as an Apple Computer or an iPhone, you will be asked to create or enter a ICloud account. But what is it for?

In fact, ICloud is an official Apple cloud service that allows you to sync data, contacts, emails, calendars, photos, and even iWork files between all of your Apple devices. You can see the ICloud option in your system preferences, and you can identify what's going on in the cloud. Because ICloud can sync a lot of functions, and then to give you three iCloud use examples, let us understand the magic of ICloud!

Do you have the need to open a Web page on your phone, but want to see it on your computer? If you want to be able to see the Web page you've opened on all the devices, just click on the "cloud" pattern on the Safari above, and you'll be able to navigate directly to the pages you've opened on other Apple devices. In addition, bookmarks, reading lists ( Store to see the Web page) and so can all through icloud synchronization Oh!

If you have something important to write down, it's inconvenient to go home and get it into the computer by mail or by hand. Just open the iphone, the ipad built-in "memo", input text, will be automatically synchronized via icloud to all your Apple devices!

IWork file is still thrown in the DropBox sync? In fact, not so troublesome, Mac is not just iWork files, even text editing, Automator, such as Apple, or MAC built-in software can also sync files through ICloud, let you in your own Mac Computer, IPhone, IPad can be synchronized editing files Oh!

 Five, handwriting, voice all come, input text super fast!

How can the IPhone have siri,mac? In fact, after the introduction of Siri, MAC also began to silently add a variety of language voice input function. Although in the beginning only English, but now began to have Chinese can use it! Using the method is very simple, as long as the text when the two press the "fn" key on the keyboard (see the figure below).

You'll see a purple microphone like the one above, and then press ENTER after you've said the text you want to enter. The voice-input feature seems to be using the same speech-recognition technology as Siri, which is also similar to Siri in speech recognition. The only thing to be aware of is that the microphone is far away from the user, so speak louder to hear it!

If you think it's funny to talk to your computer all the time, but you're a hard typist, then you can turn on your Mac handwriting. We first want to open the input method of the setting, please click on the above tool column in the input method pattern, phonetic select "Open Phonetic preferences", English input is open " Keyboard Preferences ".

Open to see this screen, directly click on the lower left corner of the "+"!

Click on the "handwriting input" to hook up on it! Then in the input method of the list inside the "handwriting" can be used!

Basically use the same feeling as the IPhone, iPad handwriting input, the choice of words, delete the word is directly on the trackpad, as long as directly on the trackpad press the corresponding position on the screen (for example, to select "I" on the touch board on the upper right corner, to delete the word on the touch board on the upper left corner) on it, The hand does not need to leave the trackpad to be able to input all the time, is not very convenient!
