Installing apps on your Mac is ( probably ) a daily occurrence. Once you install the app you start messing with the settings. And maybe, for some reason, the app will start misbehaving. Probably won’t even load.

In this case you have two options. Completely uninstall the app ( check out our guide on how to completely uninstall Mac apps ), or reset the app back to its default settings.

Back in 1999, Steve Jobs showed off the new Finder in Mac OS X. It ran in single-application mode, meaning that when you switch from one app to another the first app would be automatically minimized.

Almost 18 years later, this feature is still pretty useful, especially if you want/need to maximize productivity while working in a specific app and quickly remove all distractions.

You don’t need to install any third party apps because the feature is still built-in, but it’s not activated.

Jump over the break to learn how to enable single-application mode in macOS Sierra.

So you decided to do a bit of spring cleaning and uninstall all those apps that you never use. People think that uninstalling Mac apps is as easy as dragging the app to the Trash. Not really. Mac Apps comes in different shapes and forms.

HOW TO: Position a Picture-in-Picture Window Anywhere on the Screen on macOS Sierra

position picture-in-picture windows anywhere you want

One of the new features in macOS Sierra is Picture in Picture multitasking. When watching a video in Safari or iTunes you can now float that video over the desktop so you can continue working on other things. The floating video screen can be pinned to any corner of you Mac’s screen and resized.

Sometimes, having the video pinned to one of the corners of the screen might be inconvenient. Luckily there’s an easy way to move it around and place it exactly where you want.

When floating a video from YouTube ( for example ) hold down CMD and then drag the video screen to the position you desire. It’s that easy. Enjoy!
