00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:06,500
a small percentage of you might have an apple device, specifically a macbook or a mac desktop device.

2
00:00:06,520 --> 00:00:09,250
now these can be a little more complicated when it comes to tails.

3
00:00:09,250 --> 00:00:16,760
mac does not usually play well with dual booting or booting from a usb, but there is a little guide on the tails website that you can check out.

4
00:00:16,860 --> 00:00:18,030
we'll open that now.

5
00:00:18,030 --> 00:00:23,290
so this this video here on the tails website does show you what you need to do on the mac.

6
00:00:23,290 --> 00:00:29,230
so essentially all you need to do on macs is you go to the shutdown option and you just shut down the mac.

7
00:00:29,230 --> 00:00:31,910
this might change depending on the mac version you're on.

8
00:00:31,910 --> 00:00:38,520
but as you shut it down you will need to hold a certain set of keys after you place your tails usb within the mac.

9
00:00:38,620 --> 00:00:43,840
so once you place it in, turn the computer on and you hold the alt key as it's booting up.

10
00:00:43,940 --> 00:00:50,310
and then you select uefi boot, the efi boot and select tails.

11
00:00:50,310 --> 00:00:53,830
now of course, this may change depending on the mac you are using.

12
00:00:53,830 --> 00:01:01,010
so check with your current mac version, the os and the mac model you have to determine how to get into those startup options.

13
00:01:01,010 --> 00:01:03,690
it may change depending on which version you're on.

14
00:01:03,690 --> 00:01:10,090
there is some more info on this page also talking about that you need to use a different types of tails install.

15
00:01:10,090 --> 00:01:22,040
so if you're going to use mac with tails, you will need to use this balena etcher to actually set up the install or you can set up these two options, the linux command line or gnome disks for linux.

16
00:01:22,260 --> 00:01:24,390
that's all you need to do to get started on a mac.

17
00:01:24,390 --> 00:01:26,010
if you have questions on that, let me know.

18
00:01:26,010 --> 00:01:27,600
otherwise, we'll see you in the next one.
