Just need some general help with setting up my new Mac. I have decided not to transfer anything except for signing into iCloud. The rest I’m setting up manually.
I will post here as I have questions.
First one is the following:
Does anyone know if the text replacement in Settings–>Keyboard is transferred with iCloud? At the moment I don’t see anything…
they should sync and appear… maybe it’s just a matter of waiting, it’s known that this specific feature is a little troublesome (in the past at least).
edit: the text replacement I mean… looks like the reply button didn’t work
Do you know how to implement the three finger drag just by touching the trackpad? Right now I have to hold down a finger on the trackpad and drag with the others… I used to be able to just touch with three fingers and then drag
No, I mean to drag windows with just holding three fingers on the top bar of the window… right now I have to hold a finder down on the trackpad and drag with the other fingers
I just click with one finger and drag that finger around. it works only with the new “fixed” trackpads thou, on my 2013 MacBook Air I have to click with one finger and drag another around
Regarding the text replacements you can do the following:
On your old computer, select all and drag them out to the desktop. A file will be created.
Transfer the file to your new computer.
Click and drag the file into this page in System Preferences.
Energy saver: I usually just set it to minimum, and increase if I don’t like it.
Recovery key: I think you are a migrant from two-step verification. While it can be convenient to keep this, it’s not an requirement if you are able to keep access to your trusted devices and trusted phone number.
Three-finger drag: System Preferences —> Accessebility —> Mouse and trackpad —> Trackpad preferences —> Activate moving —> Drag with three fingers (I have my Mac in Norwegian, labels might be different).
