Have you ever wanted to be able to run Windows on your Mac?  In the near past that would have been an unspeakable question for the Macintosh faithful.  Today you can go over to Apple Computer and download software called Boot Camp that allows multiple operating systems including Windows XP and Linux on  your computer as well as Apple's OSX.  The caveot is that you will need one of the new Intel Based Macintoshes and your own copy of Windows.  Now there is nothing stopping you from running Windows programs if you desire but switching back to the Macintosh is as easy as a reboot.

Applescript/Shell Integration

Posted in Macintosh | iTunes by kevin on Sat, 12/03/2005 - 7:20pm

Running Applescripts from the terminal is pretty easy. Type the following in the terminal.  Remember that single and double quotes are important.

  1. osascript -e 'TYPE AN APPLESCRIPT HERE'
    1. osascript -e 'tell application "Dock" to quit'
    2. Don't worry the dock will start up by itself momentarilly.
You can also supply a filename to "osascript" to run the script inside, and you can compile—but not run—script files using "osacompile".  For the intrepid try to run "man osascript" and "man osacompile" for more in depth descriptions.

Importing CDs into iTunes

Posted in Windows | iTunes by admin on Thu, 11/03/2005 - 3:37pm

Welcome back. Today I will show you how to put your CDs into iTunes and potentially onto your Ipod. Make certain that you are connected to the internet when you do this, so that iTunes automatically fills in your song titles and album information. You may be thinking,"why would I want to do this?" Well for one, you can import multiple CDs into iTunes and have them available with you. No more hunting for CDs or packing them on trips. Another is that organizing your songs into groups called playlists (for example, "This Weekend's Party") is a snap. In our next tutorial I will show you how to put those songs onto an iPod.
