hierarchical file system

Some Mac Internet programs can archive and unarchive on-the-fly, normally by calling BOMArchiveHelper. The Mac OS does this transparently with non-Mac disks, though frustratingly OS X and OS 9 use different schemes! When Mac OS X copies a file from an HFS+ disk to a non-Mac disk, it splits it into a pair of files in AppleDouble format. Choose Apple menu About This Mac. Click the Support tab. Click Specifications. On the webpage that appears, the number of displays your Mac supports appears under Video Support or Graphics. If you're using a Mac with Apple silicon, you can connect a single external display to your Mac using one of the Thunderbolt / USB 4 ports.

(file system)
A file system in which the files are organised into a hierarchy. The nodes of the hierarchy are called directories while the leaves are the files themselves.
See also root directory. Compare flat file system.

A file system that organizes data and program files in a top-to-bottom structure. All modern operating systems use hierarchical file systems, wherein access to the data starts at the top and proceeds downward throughout the levels of the hierarchy. See file system, root directory and path.
Windows Hierarchy
Users often perceive the top of the hierarchy as their desktop; however, the real top is actually drive C:.

If you're using a Mac with Apple silicon, you can connect a single external display to your Mac using one of the Thunderbolt / USB 4 ports. Docks don't increase the number of displays you can connect as an extended desktop. On Mac mini (M1, 2020), you can connect a second display to the HDMI port.

Connect your display

Connect your display to power, then connect your display to your Mac. Check the ports on your Mac to find out whether you need an adapter.

Change display options

After you connect your display, you can choose to extend your desktop or mirror your displays.
