Rosetta should automatically be installed on your computer. You shouldn't have had to worry about installing it or how to install it.
So great to hear that Spotify is working now fine. Here waiting for my green iMac too to arrive next week and waiting for installing Spotify too. Fingers crossed my iMac and Spotify get along 😜
I just switched from Android and Windows (I have been using them forever) to iPhone and iMac 24. I couldn’t be more happy 😃 And thanks to your video I found out a lot of good and useful things. Thank you🙏

Hi Sophie, I'm glad I found your channel, I'm enjoying all your content including the meeting celebrities experiences and I absolutely love your presentation style. I have almost picked up an M1 iMac a couple of times now.., I have to keep on saying to myself...., 'No Paul, you have enough computers at home already'.., 😂 probably only a matter of time until I come home with one, maybe purple. The specs I want, 8core GPU, 256 GB SSD and 16GB ram is $2499 here in Australian dollars here, I may have to stop buying Lego for my kids for a while😂.My current 'daily driver' is a very old 2008 iMac, it runs a newish version of Mac OS thanks to the Dosdude patcher and still gets the job done although often the processor is at 100% just playing 1080P KZread. Keep it up Sophie.

I like your more informal presentation style. It’s not 100% slick smooth - which is a good thing. It’s more real life and less intimidating than some other presenters, who are waaay too fast and over technical.

I’ve ordered an M1 Mac arriving mid August, so have been binge watching all the KZread videos I can find. I’m a 64 year old ‘silver surfer’, but I like new tech and pretty much keep up to date. I think it is important for informative videos to be fun and lively as well as technical - which yours definitely is. Thanks again 👍
Mate, get rid of Chrome and get Safari on. Nice to hear a good, owd Northern accent on a tech vid. 💥
Interesting your issues with Spotify, mine has never crashed so far, but maybe it's the screen saver, mine is set for 20 mins, I'm going to try a different time to see if I can replicate the crash. Does it happen when you leave Spotify playing or just open?
@sophiedodsworth
3 жыл бұрын
Just when I leave it open! I think I had my screensaver timeout on 20 minutes when I was experiencing the issue. I uninstalled and reinstalled Spotify like 5 times and now it seems to be behaving so I’m not sure why it wasn’t working then but working now!

Hello Sophie, please can you tell me is the 24” iMac screen a genuine 4K screen or Apples version of 4K? Many thanks x😊

Hey Sophie, do you think that the 24 inch imac is easy enough to adjust to if you're used to bigger (27") screens?

Hi Carson! Definitely. I’d been using the 27” since summer last year and I adjusted to the 24” in a few days. I still probably prefer larger screens overall, but the 24” is a really good size for everyday use and it didn’t take long to adjust. Hope that helps!

There isn’t an easy way to uninstall the in-built apps but I believe there’s a complicated way to do it using something called Terminal. I wouldn’t necessarily recommend it because I like to play on the safe side 😂 but if you google it then you’ll find more info about it. Hope that helps!
I don't care about the bezel, its colors, weight or width! It's on my desk and that's where it'll stay. The real issue is IT DOESN’T HAVE PORTS for my laser printer, my ethernet connection, my 2.0 hubport or all my usb 2.0 flashdrives. I want to be able to easily transfer pages, music, photos, movies etc. and without any immediately utilizable ports, I can't do anything. Who knew that I would be denied something so essential. What am I supposed to do?

Have you considered buying the fully upgraded iMac that one has all the bells and whistles possible and crazy amount of storage. There are four ports which isn’t a lot but it’s better than only two and if you need more ports you could buy an external port dock so that way you have more ports if you need them.
