I recently ripped a few seasons of my favorite TV shows from DVD’s to MP4’s so I could put them on my iPhone for when I travel; however, when I imported them into iTunes they imported as movies, not TV shows. No big deal I thought, I would just select all, hit ⌘ + [...]
I was reformatting a Powerbook the other day and after a fresh Leopard install I went to use the two finger scroll function to scroll down a page…but it wasn’t there. I have been using intel based laptops for so long that I just take the two finger scroll feature function and the two [...]
With the release of Firefox 3, I thought I would share my top ten Firefox shortcuts. So without further ado, here they are:
⌘ + l = focus address bar
⌘ + d = bookmark current page
⌘ + k = focus google search bar
⌘ + f = find
⌘ + g = find next
⌘ + t = [...]
Like I’ve stated earlier, my work is a Mac shop. This being said, we need to use Entourage, Microsoft’s email solution for Macs, to manage our exchange email accounts. Entourage defaults to putting your signature at the bottom of reply emails, but most people like having it right at the end of their [...]
I wrote about this a while back on my blog, hackaddict, but it was such a popular post I thought I’d give it a revisit. A lot of people buy used Macs, and they often run into the problem of not knowing the admin password, so here is a way to get around not [...]
While looking at the new 3G iPhone I happened to check out what came in the box and was estactic to see a new much needed item.
That’s right, it looks like the new iPhone comes with a special tool for removing the SIM. In my world we call it a paperclip, but to Apple [...]
My work is a Mac shop. Everyone has a Mac, some people even have two (desktop and laptop). Anyway, I recently decided to do an inventory to see what we had and what was/was not under warranty.
I started by making a Google docs spreadsheet and named it “Office Macs.” (Creative…I know). I [...]
I have a fairly large music and movie collection, and a fairly nice TV/stereo setup in the family room. To watch my movies and listen to my music on the good TV and stereo I could hook my Macbook Air up to the TV each time, but who wants to do that? Fortunately, [...]
Using the directions feature of Google maps was an indispensable tool when I used to drive around town. Now that I moved to New York, I rely on the subways to get around and Gypsy Maps to tell me how.
I’m generally pretty lazy, so once I use Gypsy Maps to get directions somewhere, [...]
I live in New York, so I’m constantly losing my iPhone signal when I go onto the subway. Sometimes when I get off the train and I’m back in range of the phone still can’t find the network. Recently, my phone has randomly also been telling me “No Sim” even though it’s just been [...]
Some server administrators set share drives to auto disconnect users after a set time of inactivity (ie fifteen minutes). As a user it’s super frustrating to connect to a server every time you need access. I’ve written an AppleScript that first checks to see if the share is mounted, if it is mounted [...]
