August 9, 2015Any way to change the speed of the video, I would like to speed up the delivery, the narrator speaks very slowly, but I could manage with a much faster delivery. It could cut my time spent watching video in half the time, which would be a great benefit.

August 10, 2015Michel, I apologize, I do not have a way to speed up the videos. I will look into some way to do this. Thanks for the suggestion. If you need anything else, let me know! – Tharyn

September 13, 2015At 46 seconds the audio quit. Iʻll skip the lesson, but what might the problem be?

September 28, 2015Try to reload the video or use a different browser for just this video. It sounds fine for me on Chrome. Hope that helps!

Great tutorials for a beginner. What is the difference between the spotlight search and the finder function. I’m sure you’ll explain it later, so no need to go into major detail, just the basic idea.
Cheers!

October 27, 2015Hey Preet. The spotlight simply has a few extra instant features than the finder search. It’s more of a quick “at your finger tips” search function and application launcher. I don’t use finder’s search because spotlight does the job. Hope that helps! Enjoy the lessons! :)http://macdojo.com/wp-admin/edit-comments.php#comments-form
