GarageBand + iTunes = Free iPhone Ringtones

GarageBand + iTunes = Free iPhone Ringtones January 23rd, 2009 @ 1:44 pm PST

Whoa! I had no idea that you could use GarageBand and iTunes to create custom iPhone ringtones from any song in your iTunes library. That is bitchin’!

How to Subscribe to RSS Feeds in Mac OS X

How to Subscribe to RSS Feeds in Mac OS X January 18th, 2009 @ 5:42 pm PST

At one point I was doing my best to try to read over 100 different blogs each day. It was, in addition to unbelievably time-consuming, very frustrating when I’d see that some large percentage hadn’t been updated since the last time I’d checked. Enter RSS. RSS stands for “real simple syndication”. What does that mean? […]

iTunes Plus

iTunes Plus January 11th, 2009 @ 11:03 pm PST

I like the idea of iTunes Plus. DRM is lame and so ’90s. So the fact that Apple is now allowing me to get DRM-free tracks is great. But why in the world do they insist I upgrade my entire library in one fell swoop? I’m not going to shell out $200 for music I’ve […]

iTunes Arrow Hack

iTunes Arrow Hack January 7th, 2009 @ 12:51 pm PST

I just found a super cool iTunes trick at the Unofficial Apple Weblog: If you hold the option key while you click on the little arrows next to artists and albums, it will take you to your library’s collection for that item instead of to the iTunes store.

How to Handle a Ducking iPhone

How to Handle a Ducking iPhone December 4th, 2008 @ 3:16 pm PST

For some reason that makes little sense, Apple decided to not include one of the words I use most frequently in the iPhone’s internal dictionary. So if I ever send you a text message saying that something is, “ducking awesome,” or that you need to, “get the duck out,” that is why. A certified Apple […]

How to change icons in Mac OS X

How to change icons in Mac OS X November 22nd, 2008 @ 7:34 pm PST

Want to change your Dock icons in Mac OS X? It’s pretty simple, if not obvious. Here’s how: Find the icon you want to use and copy it (Cmd+C). Find the application for which you want to use this new icon in Finder’s “Application” folder. Right-click the application and choose “Get Info”. Select the existing […]

Not Quite Genius

Not Quite Genius September 9th, 2008 @ 11:24 pm PDT

So Apple released a new version of iTunes today. Version 8 includes a new feature called “Genius”. Play a song, click the Genius button, and iTunes creates a playlist of other songs from your library that go great together. This sounds like a cool idea, although I consider myself already pretty handy at creating smart […]

Screen Capture on a Mac

Screen Capture on a Mac August 22nd, 2008 @ 5:24 pm PDT

Jim just showed me a bitchin’ cool Mac trick: If you press Shift, the Apple (“command”) key, and the 4 key at the same time, it will change your mouse cursor into a targeting device. Then hit the space bar and your cursor will turn into a camera icon. Use the mouse to move the […]

iPhone SMS Alarm Bug

iPhone SMS Alarm Bug August 14th, 2008 @ 8:22 am PDT

This morning I discovered what is possibly the world’s most annoying iPhone bug. For some time now I’ve been trying to determine why every now and then I seem to sleep right through my alarm. The iPhone alarm can be set to be tragically loud and uncomfortably annoying, so the fact that I have frequently […]
