It started as a way to access the Mac\u2019s file system. It wasn\u2019t until several years after its introduction that it would actually \u201cfind\u201d anything. Now the Finder plays several roles, including providing many ways to organize and view your files, serving as a conduit to your iPhone and iPad, and even accessing files that aren\u2019t on your Mac. Update your Mac to macOS Big Sur, and we\u2019ll explore all the things the Finder can do.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p id=\"block-f1e82128-3f1f-4fc0-94b2-1cbc07ee8969\">Download class outline<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/dvmug.org\/Zoom\/What_the_Heck_is_the_FInder.pdf\">What the Heck is the FInder.pdf<\/a><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n<hr id=\"block-2dc3ef6b-51d3-4d12-a407-ab4385a9c94d\" class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\" \/>\r\n\r\n\r\n<figure id=\"block-4faba1d9-4439-42db-a24f-fddf72f69d65\" class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/dvmug.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/wallet-100x98-1.jpg\" alt=\"Wallet\" \/><\/figure>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p id=\"block-7283a48f-3901-4a72-8e11-8b6bd1d92784\"><strong>February 16, 2021 &#8211; Wallet and Apple Pay<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p id=\"block-f7d19888-7f9b-4c23-9156-e5f560f43e2a\">Think about all the things you carry in your wallet.
