This Week’s New Tutorial...

In last week's show, I covered sharing files with friends and colleagues using third party software and services. Of course, OSX also allows you to share lots of things locally if you're connected to a Local Area Network (LAN) or Wifi network. There are a whole host of built in services that allow you to share your screen, share files and folders, access shared printers and scanners, setup local web servers to share websites and even share your Internet connection with others around you.

This show is the first of a two part series looking at what sharing services are available on Snow Leopard and how you configure and use them.

With the built in Bonjour zero configuration technology included with OSX, it's surprisingly easy!

In this week's show I take you through Screen Sharing, File Sharing, Printer and Scanner Sharing. In detail, the show covers:

• Screen Sharing in OSX
• Disabling Sharing for Security
• Setting up Screen Sharing
• Bonjour Zero Configuration
• Screen Sharing Configuration
• ScreenSharingMenulet
• File Sharing in OSX
• Setting up Shares
• Browsing Shares via The Finder
• Setting up a Printer in OSX
• Sharing a Printer in OSX
• Scanner Sharing in OSX
• Accessing a Shared Scanner with Image Capture

With so many options available for sharing files with friends and colleagues, it's difficult to know which tool or service to use.

This week’s show examines some tools and techniques that cover a range of file sharing scenarios.

From sharing a few files between Macs using Bluetooth File Exchange, to sharing a movie file with your Twitter friends in a drag and drop action, creating sharable links for your Dropbox files and also a rather neat method of requesting a file from a non techie to be delivered into your Dropbox account.

Something for every situation!


In detail, this weeks show covers:

• File Sharing via Bluetooth
• Setting up Bluetooth File Exchange
• Sending a File
• Setting up a Service & Keyboard Shortcut
• Browsing files via Bluetooth
• Sharing Files via CloudApp
• Registering for CloudApp

This week's show features an iPad application recently launched to critical acclaim, and seen by many to be a "must have" application for the iPad. Some have even deemed the release of the application to be an equivalent of the PC's "VisCalc" moment!

The application is OmniFocus for iPad by The Omni Group. OmniFocus is a powerful task management application for the Mac, iPhone and now iPad. It can be utilised to support the "Getting Things Done" or GTD methodology, or you can use it to create your own system of task management.

The iPad version can be used as a standalone application, or you can use the robust Internet or LAN based syncing technologies for a completely integrated task management system across all your Apple devices. OmniFocus for iPad has been designed from the ground up to work beautifully with the iPad. The standard Project and Context views have been re-designed and a brand new Forecast view has been introduced. Forecast view allows you to see all your Actions scheduled on a daily basis for the next week and beyond. This makes it simple to assess your workload for the week, and even easier to re-schedule or re-arrange tasks to remove the overloaded days.

The iPad version of OmniFocus is also optimised for location - your can easily assign locations to contexts and view them on the large enhanced map view.

Another powerful feature of OmniFocus for iPad is not new but has been given a new lease of life, and that's the Review process. Often overlooked, the review process allows you to keep on top of all your projects and actions. The new Review view makes this really easy on the iPad.

The show will take your through all these facets of OmniFocus and more. In detail the show covers:

• OmniFocus Introduction
• OmniFocus Inbox
• Adding Information to Actions
• Viewing & Organising Projects
• Contexts in OmniFocus
• Location Contexts
• Forecast and Review Views
• Review View
• Inbox Tips, Safari, Syncing & Perspectives
• Sending Actions via Email
• Safari Bookmarklet
• Syncing via MobileMe
• Missing Perspectives?

This week's show is a full free show and has not been endorsed or sponsored by The Omni Group.

Recent years have seen a boom in the number of services providing Cloud based storage. iDisk, Dropbox, Amazon S3, Box.net to name but a few. All are secure, resilient services with some offering free elements. To some people however, cloud based storage is not an option.

Concerns about security, giving data to third parties, potential downtime, capacity limits or just the sheer difficulty of uploading all the date you'd like to access via the web in the first place.

• What if you could have your own private datacenter at home or at the office?
• How about transferring data to your own personal cloud storage at LAN or Gigabit speeds?
• How about adding terabytes of data to your shared storage pool instantly, just by plugging in an extra drive?

This week's show allows you to do all this and more, using a relatively inexpensive hardware device - Pogoplug.

Just plug the Pogoplug into your router at the home or Office and connect up to 4 USB drives. All the information contained on the drives is immediately accessible via the web. Just logon to the Pogoplug service and access all your data from any web browser from anywhere with an internet connection.

• You can even access your data via the Pogoplug application on you iPhone, iPad or iPod touch.
• Share individual files and or folders with friends or colleagues with a few simple clicks.
• Utilise "Active Copy" to copy files or folders from you Mac or Pc directly to the Pogoplug automatically for web access with the added benefit of automatic backups.
• Store media files on your Pogoplug to stream music via the web, even transcode movies to view via a web browser.
• You can even copy files to your Pogoplug from your computer on your local network at LAN speeds using the Pogoplug drive application available for Mac, PC and Linux. Your Pogoplug drives (along with files shared with you) appear as shared devices right within the Finder, allowing you to treat them just like normal drives.

All this can be accomplished with no monthly contracts or fees for life, just the initial purchase price of the Pogoplug and external drives.

In detail, this weeks Extra! members show covers:

• Introduction to Pogoplug
• Pogoplug Installation
• Pogoplug Drive Application
• Active Copy
• Sharing with the Pogoplug
• Sharing considerations
• Receiving Shared Files and Folders
• Pogoplug Settings
• Adding a Drobo via USB to Pogoplug
• Accessing Pogoplug via iOS Devices
