10.6: View small movies at the correct size in Snow Leopard
December 23rd, 2009 admin

I often want to watch small movies created from screen grabs, and Quicktime X is useless for this — the resulting playback is fuzzy, having been scaled unnecessarily. To quickly view a movie without this restriction, I drag it into a new mail message. The player used in Mail has the old-style …

Perhaps the most radical and obvious change in Mac OS X Snow Leopard is the totally revamped QuickTime X player. Taking what they learned from the iPhone’s media player, Apple has started with a clean slate on the Mac side. Before we jump into what QuickTime X can do for us as users, it’s important to look at the program from the right...

Locating an email message in your Mail folder hierarchy is now a snap. As of Snow Leopard’s version of Mail, if you open a message in a new window, Command-clicking (or Control-clicking) on the icon in the title bar of the message window will reveal the path to the enclosing folder for the message (just like it does in the Finder). Select...

Filed under: How-tos , iTunes , iPhone , iPod touch By default, movies and TV shows in the iPod portion of the iPhone and iPod touch play in landscape view.

I’ve seen similar hints for this before, but none worked when a message was open in a window, rather than when using the Preview pane. I hate working with the Preview pane, so this was preventing me from using those hints. However, by modifying others’ AppleScripts, I came up with the following, which closes the current message window,...

So here was my problem: I needed to be able to produce high-resolution movies of live screen presentations (PowerPoint as it happens) with audio. And because these presentations were two hours long, people wanted chapter/section marks so they could go directly to the part they were interested in seeing again. We wanted to stream the movies, so that...

Remember that old Flash war between Apple and Adobe? It continues, with Adobe slamming Apple for failing to include the most recent version of Flash inside the latest Snow Leopard security update. “10.6.4 update for Mac OS X includes Flash Player, but not the latest version,” said Brad Arkin, Adobe’s director of security and privacy,...

Filed under: Snow Leopard The betas of the next Snow Leopard update continue at a fast and furious pace. Apple has reportedly begun seeding a new build of Mac OS X 10.6.2 to developers, just one week after the previous beta . The new potential release focuses on graphics issues, specifically relating to drivers, QuartzCore, and ColorSync, as well...

One of the “features” in Apple’s Mail program that has always annoyed me is how it handles messages after doing a delete operation. If you press Delete to throw away the message you’re currently looking at, Mail displays the next message (marking it read in the process). While I like the fact that Mail marks displayed messages...
