Not too sure if many realise this, but Keynote animations, transitionsand video playback may suffer some lag and "jerks" when presenting onexternal monitors or projectors. This is assuming that the presentationis on the external display, and the primary display is displaying the"presenter's display." Somehow, this seems to affect the portables morethan the desktops.

The solution to this problem is to not display the Time andTimer on the Presenter's Display. This will enable smooth transitions,animations, and playback of videos in Keynote during presentations.

I am a recent switcher and former Winampuser. I missed the 'q' button to queue up the selected track after thecurrently playing track without using playlists. This script emulatesthat behavior by adding the currently playing and selected tracks to aplaylist, and resuming at the correct position in the playlist:
tell application "iTunes"
if not (exists playlist "Queue") then
set queuePlaylist to (make new user playlist ¬
with properties {name:"Queue", shuffle:false})
else
set queuePlaylist to playlist "Queue"
end if
if current playlist is not queuePlaylist then
set curtrack to (duplicate current track to queuePlaylist)
else
set curtrack to {}
end if
if selection is not {} then
set sel to a reference to selection
duplicate sel to queuePlaylist
end if
if curtrack is not {} then
set playPosition to player position
play curtrack
set player position to playPosition
end if
end tell
Thishelps out a lot when I forget to make a playlist. If the playlist isalready being used, then the script just adds the selected track to theend of the queue playlist. I have this script assigned to a Quicksilver trigger and it works great, but there is a small skip in the audio when the currently playing track is resumed in the playlist.

http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=20070419104324966

------------------

Wonderful hint, works marvellously. For those without Quicksilver,simply put the script in /Library/iTunes/Scripts and then assign viaSystem Preferences -> Keyboard Shortcuts a shortcut for iTunes tothe name you gave the script.

---------------------------

Here's an updated version thathandles queueing iPod tracks and queueing when no song is playing. Andyou don't need Quicksilver to assign a shortcut if you only want to useit in iTunes; just add it to iTunes' script menu (put the script in~/Library/iTunes/Scripts) and use Apple's Keyboard Shortcuts (underKeyboard & Mouse in System Prefs).

Thanks for the original script, and for making it so easy to modify!
tell application "iTunes"
set currentSource to container of view of front browser window
if not (exists playlist " Queue" of currentSource) then
set queuePlaylist to (make new user playlist ¬
with properties {name:" Queue", shuffle:false} at currentSource)
else
set queuePlaylist to playlist " Queue" of currentSource
end if
set curtrack to {}
if player state is not stopped then
if current playlist is not queuePlaylist then
delete tracks of queuePlaylist
set curtrack to (duplicate current track to queuePlaylist)
end if
else
delete tracks of queuePlaylist
end if
if selection is not {} then
set sel to a reference to selection
duplicate sel to queuePlaylist
end if
if curtrack is not {} then
set playPosition to player position
set curState to player state
play curtrack
set player position to playPosition
if curState is paused then pause
else if tracks of queuePlaylist is not {} and (player state is stopped or current playlist is not queuePlaylist) then
play first track of queuePlaylist
end if
end tell

Apple makes it super-easy for you to share your iTunes media between computers. It's just a matter of three steps to get iTunes sharing up and running. If you have a local network in your house but you've never tried this out, here's a simple quick-start.

Read on to discover the three easy steps to music sharing nirvana.

1. By default, the OS X firewall blocks iTunes sharing, so if you're running a firewall, you'll need to enable this feature. On the computer that hosts your iTunes library, launch System Preferences. (It's in the Apple menu), select Sharing, click Firewall and check the iTunes Music Sharing box.

2. In iTunes, enable sharing: Open preferences, click the Sharing tab and chec the "Share my library on my local network" box. Share your entire library or only selected playlists. You can also specify a password to limit access. Click OK to confirm your preferences. iTunes reminds you that "Sharing music is for personal use only." Click OK.

3. Once you share your library it should automatically show up in the iTunes source list for all networked computers. If it does not, open preferences on that computer, click on the Sharing tab and make sure that "Look for shared libraries" is checked. Click OK.



Shared libraries are only available on your local network, so your friends in other countries won't be able to stream your library using this method.

Share iTunes library with OS X and Windows via a server

After some trial-and-error research, I finally managed to move myiTunes library from my MacBook to a Linux file server, and to also useit from Windows machines. I wanted to be able to manage my library fromall the computers on my network, so the iTunes sharing option was notenough. But I am the only user of the library: there will not be morethan one instance of iTunes using (modifying) the library at once,otherwise this hint will certainly not work (see note at the bottom).

My file server (running Gentoo Linux) runs Samba for Windowssharing and netatalk for AFP. On each computer, I mount my Linux homedirectory. In it is a folder named iTunes, with the usual librarystructure. Now the steps to follow for achieving my setup:On your network share, create a folder called iTunes. To begin movingyour library, make sure you have mounted your share on your Mac. Thenfollow these steps:
  • Open iTunes' preferences
  • Choose Advanced
  • Choose the new location for iTunes Music to be on your share, inside the iTunes folder.
  • Make sure iTunes is allowed to manage your music folder, and tocopy newly-added files there (the two checkboxes under the folderchooser).
  • Click OK.
  • In the Advanced menu, select Consolidate Library. iTunes will now copy your music to the network share.
Next, quit iTunes (completely; closing its window is not enough). OpenFinder, go to Music » iTunes inside your home directory. Copy iTunesLibrary to your network share, inside the iTunes directory. Rename thatfile to iTunes Library.itl -- this is neccessary for Windows iTunes to recognize your library.

애플은 어째서 되살아났을까   Why Apple Bounced Back

Firefox(이하 FF) 사용자들에게만 해당되는 얘기입니다. 보통은 FF의 오른쪽 위에 위치한 검색바가 있습니다.
여기에 구글로 되어 있거나 기타 다른 검색싸이트나 아마존 뭐 그런것들이 리스트로 위치해 있습니다.


이렇게 말입니다. 보통은 키워드를 입력하고, 마우스로 검색 싸이트의 종류를 결정하는데, 여간 번거로운 일이 아닌가 합니다. (저만 그럴지도 모르겠고요)
이래서, 나온게 바로, 단축키입니다. 컨트롤+K를 누르면, 검색바로 커서가 이동합니다. 이때 검색어를 입력하고, 컨트롤+위/아래화살표를 누르면, 검색바의 검색 싸이트 위치가 위아래로 변경되면서 원하는 검색싸이트를 결정할 수 있습니다. 맥/PC FF에 모두해당되는 얘기입니다. 혹시나 모르시는 분들이 계실까봐….




firefox, 검색결과의 단축키 설정 extension

[예제]

http://www.squarefree.com/extensions/search-keys/

Firefox(이하 FF)에서 구글이나 야후나 del.icio.us같은데의 검색 결과를 단축키로 만들어 매번 마우스 클릭으로 새창을 안열어도 되도록 해주는 extension입니다. 위의 링크에 가서 install search Keys 0.7.3을 설치하시고,구글이나 야후, del.icio.us에서 검색 결과를 보면, 각 제목에 박스 넘버가 보입니다. 이때, 맥/윈도우 사용자는alt키/애플키를 누르고 숫자키, 리눅스는 컨트롤키를 누르고 숫자키를 누르면 됩니다. 페이지 이동은 컴마(,)와 쩜(.)인가그럴 껍니다.

덧붙여, alt/애플키, 컨트롤키를 누르지 않고 숫자버튼이나 컴마,쩜 버튼을 누르면, 현재 페이지에서 보여줍니다.

돌고 돌아 맥월드에도 소개가 되는군요.
아이포토의 이미지를 보기 위해서는 매번 아이포토를 실행시켜야 함은 두말없는 잔소리입니다.
빠른 기종이면 괜찮은데, 느린 기종에서는 아이포토 자체 실행도 부담스럽습니다.
따라서, 아이포토는 실행은 안 시키고, 아이포토의 라이브러리만 빠르게 액세스할 수 있습니다. 이렇게 열어서 원하는 포토/이미지를 복사할 수 있습니다.

방법은 다음과 같습니다.
1. Automator를 실행시키고 iPhoto를 선택합니다.
2. 액션 목록에서  Ask for Photos를 선택하여 오른쪽 패널로 드래그합니다.
3. 애플리케이션으로 저장합니다. (저장해두고 저장한 위치를 못찾겠다면, 보통은 하드디스크/Library/Workflows/Applications/ 안에 잘 찾아보시면 있습니다)

한때, 이런 류로 많이들 나왔는데, 요즘은 잠잠하네요.
한국서도 이같은 서비스로 몇기가 이메일 서비스 뭐 이런거 본 기억이 있었는데...

원리는 간단합니다. 현재는 1기가 이내만 가능하다고 하는데,
파일을 해당 애플리케이션을 써서 전송을 하면, 얘네 서버에 들어가고,
받을 사람 이메일에는 다운로드 받을 수 있는 파일이 첨부된다고 합니다.

받을 사람은 그 파일을 클릭하면 다운로드가 되는 셈이지요.

맥용 소프트웨어가 있어서 소개합니다.
이 프로그램을 이용하면 손쉽게 전송할 수 있고, 이밖에도 윈도우용/야후 메신저용/아웃룩용 플러그인까지 있습니다.
