Save Things In Dashboard

Do you want to save your youtube videos to watch later? Sure, you can minimize the window, but if you quit safari every time, then that will not work. Or maybe you want to save your favorite video so you can watch it when ever you want. You can favorite it, but why do that when you can save and open it in dashboard? That’s right. Leopard offers a feature that lets you save and view things in dashboard. To use this, right click anywhere on any page, and click, “open in dashboard.” Then, you can select the part of the page that you want (they are preselected areas, you will see what I mean), and then it will open in dashboard. It is that easy. Enjoy this mac tip.

Dead Tracks!

Hi guys,

You all must know that Itunes has its problems ,and one of them is :Dead Tracks.

What is a Dead track?Well ,a dead track is a song displayed on itunes ,but is not in the same directory as before .This makes itunes confused and this screen pops-up when you try to play it :

Well mostly  a good part of the library become doubled and the dupes become dead tracks , with 3000 songs its quite a pain to remove therefore I use This Script .

Not only this script is available ,check out Doug's website for some other awesome scripts .

Hope this helped killing some old dead tracks .

CheckUp from APP4MAC Review

Now i have been using Check Up for some time now !! It has really helped me in controlling my temperature,speed of disks and memory !! With its powerful Growl notification integration you can really know and understand very easily what is happening to your personal mac !! The way i will write this review is looking section by section of this application !!

First Section Profile : What i find nice about this section is showing you your mac,type (power-pc,intel)Size,speed,running system. Really useful part is showing your serial number !! If you have check up running in the background you can easily access your personal information about your mac. The different features include:Serial Number,Operating System,Processor,Memory,Startup Disk,Capability,Boot Manager,IP Address,Running since,Mac address and the user bandwidth !! Now the running since worried me a bit at sight because i thought that it meant how long have you had your mac !! And when i saw 13 hours and 4 minutes…. I was scared !! But it actually means how long has your mac been on !! That is a little default in that section !!

Second Section System : I don’t often use this section because it does have a friendly environment but it looks complicating !! It does tell you the amount of : Applications,Fonts,Drivers,Internet Plugins,Preference Panes,Login items,widgets and operating systems you have on your computer !! I suppose it does give you easy access to your computers different components !! The fonts gives you an idea of what the writing looks like ! The application icons are beautifully presented… But i still think they should give more information about the applications regarding the location,size,etc….

Third Section Processors : I love this part !! This is the most attractive part of the application !! Its beautiful Processor meter with active speed percentage about the speed of your processors !! With the trial you can only view one processor but the bought full version you can view as many processors as your computer has !! Its magnificent graph showing the speed and power that your processors are using by switching between two different types : Seismograph and Classic Graph you have power over what you prefer to view as !! You can view the graph for the past 5 minutes or the past week giving you a full view about what your mac has been using !! You can view the processor meter in a separate window if you wish !!

Forth Section Memory : Not much to say on this section. Boring. Good information about your disks…. But not a favorite !!

Fifth Section Disks : Same as the memory but still gives you extremely good information about the space left in your disks !! A nice friendly blue bar informing you of your used and left disk space !!

Sixth Section Network : Very powerful section !! Giving you information about your network activity with In and Out !! Same as the processors you can choose between Seismograph and Classic Graph… View the past week or 5 minutes !! Nice images to view in comfort !

Seventh Section Processes : Good powerful source to view the amount of usage and space each application that you are using ! With regular “Check Up” or refresh it will view the current usage of each application !! A good source as well to view what applications are running to see if you could free up some space !!

Eight and Last Section Documents : Not a personal favorite but a really good place to find all the different formats that are present in your computer and what application is related to and can run those type of formats !! Giving the current icon for each application it gives a powerful way to find more about your macs supported formats and formats used and what application can run them or give information about !!

Preferences : A nice and friendly way to customize your own application CheckUp !!

As i said at the beginning about the notifications integration with Growl !!

Thats my personal review on CheckUp !! An overall rating is 17/20 !! A personal favorite and i recommend this application to everyone !!

Thanks for reading !!
