SCO0192 - Mac Hints & Tips Montage - 07 [Extra Members]
Mac Montage shows ar eturning out to be one of the most popluar types of ScreenCastsOnline shows. Rather than focus on a single topic or software application, I included a number of different hints and tips, all intended to help you get the most out of your Mac! A fairly mixed bag included this week, with some simple and some more complex hints and tips.
| Renaming Files In situ
: You know when you’ve
just saved a file and realise that you should
have actually called it something else? Yes
you can File Save As or rename the file in
the Finder once you’ve saved it, but
this little tip is so much simpler!

| Accessing Bento via Multiple
Machines: If you’ve more than
a single machine, it can be quite frustrating
to have your Bento database accessible via
one machine and not another. This hint shows
you how you can use DropBox to synchronise
your Bento database across multiple machines.
There are some caveats such as this
isn’t supported by Filemaker and you
can’t use Bento as a multi-user
database, but it’s a neat way of doing
it and could be useful for other
applications, not just Bento.

| Configuring Spelling in
OSX: Although OSX supports many
different spelling using many different
languages, it’s not always that easy to
understand how? It’s OK if you’re
one of the people that thinks color is the
correct spelling, but this can be a minor
irritation to some people!
This section shows you how to change the default language settings for Finder and Menus, as well as how to switch on the various spelling dictionaries in your applications. |

| Clearing out iPod and iPhone
Files: Two tips in this hint to help
you reclaim some of your disk space. Whenever
you update the firmware on your iPod or
iPhone, OSX keeps a copy. After a few
upgrades this can use up a fair slice of your
disk space.
In addition, iPod touch and iPhone users, did you know that each time you install or upgrade a mobile application, iTunes keeps all the old unneeded copies. They may be small, but it soon adds up! This hint shows you how to clear them out and get some disk space back. |

| 16 Cores in Action: A
couple of viewers have asked to see how I
utilise the two Mac Pros to encode my videos
using Compressor. Well small segment shows
you just that. See the power of 16 cores
roaring into action!
Well you did ask! |
