She is 78 and thinks she is more tech savvy than the average person because she can check email, and use twitter and Facebook, and does a regular blog on Wordpress. She has been firmly entrenched (she thinks) in Windows since forever, but in reality she has very little understanding of how or why anything works the way it does, and has a very hard time adapting to change and remembering new ways of doing things.
The macOS User Guide would be a good start although it’s just documentation rather than videos.
ThisIsE has a good playlist for beginners as does MacMost although both are a few years old.
You can also pick up Guy Hart-Davis’ “macOS Sequoia For Dummies” which is a great book for beginners.
MacOS has a Tips app that she might find useful.
Apple used to have a “new to Mac” page with helpful videos. So of course they got rid of it.
“Yeah, fork you for needing help” - Apple I guess.
Not like I spent 3 years of my life as a One to One Apple product and software trainer; because they got rid of that job also, apparently.
I’m rooting for her!!
Me too! And it sounds like she’s “handling change” pretty well, given that TVs weren’t even in every home when she was a kid.
MacMost.com has loads of videos (also available on YouTube). If you search those you might find some basic videos for new users.
Looks like the beginners guides stop at 2018
