How to share multiple files with MobileMe iDisk

posted by The Tech Buzz on Feb.19, 2009, under Tutorials

Now there is a way with the new iDisk to share multiple files at one time. It can be done very easily using the Compress command in the iDisk web application. Here is how you can do it:

1) Select the files or folders you want to share. (To select multiple files hold down the Command key on a Mac or the Control key on a PC as you click on each one.)

 

2) Use the Actions menu via the Gear icon in the Toolbar, and select Compress items. This will automatically create a single compressed file named Archive.zip that contains your files or folders.

 

3) Share Archive.zip file just as you would any other iDisk file. (Before you share it, you can change the “Archive” part of the name to something more descriptive, but keep the .zip extension so the receiver’s computer will know to decompress the files when the receiver opens it.)

I hope this makes your MobileMe experience even better. Until next time, Keep it Buzzin’

If your like me and you are doing video rendering and putting customized DVD’s or video discs together and your not into the whole “name branding” thing. By that I mean the nice Apple logo that’s on every menu screen in iDVD. Well I’ve figured out the solution to this problem and have given you a step by step guide on how you can do the same thing. I have also taken a screen shot of the menu of where I removed the check mark. Take a look. Remember Keep it buzzin’

Open iDVD
Open any project you need to remove logo
Click “iDVD” then click “Preference”
Click remove “Show Apple logo watermark”

TriCaster

posted by The Tech Buzz on Feb.05, 2009, under Tutorials

Hey guys, if you do a stream or ever wanted to do a stream, but wanted to be able to use a tricaster but never really had the money to buy one. I mean lets face it, who has 10 G’s to buy one? Well thanks to Brett Hiley from HiWEB interactive you can now do it. Yesterday I was complaining that camtwist doesn’t have the ability to set key switchers between camera’s or effects like a tricaster. Well Mr.Hiley pointed out that it can! So I did a video explaining how I made my “Buzz Caster” so if you want to learn how to do it and see how I did mine, Watch this video! Thanks guys and as always, comments are welcomed! Remember keep it buzzin’

Updating any Hackintosh from 10.5.5 to 10.5.6 ..

posted by The Tech Buzz on Jan.25, 2009, under Tutorials

Over the last few weeks I’ve been trying to update my wife’s laptop from 10.5.5 to 10.5.6 but couldn’t because of the patch is too intense. So why update then? iWork 09 and iLife 09 need to run under a 10.5.6 build. So I found a work around that will make it fake out the installer and show that you are running OS X 10.5.6. I did it and it worked on my wife’s laptop and she was able to install iWork 09. Here is how you do it!

Go to System/Library/CoreServices, then you will see SystemVersion.plist, copy it and paste it on your desktop.
I suggest you also make a backup just to be sure….can’t hurt.
Then open the plist from your desktop and where the string is that has your system version— 10.5.5 for example, change it to 10.5.6.
The version should appear twice in the plist, so change both.
Then save the plist and paste/replace it over the old systemversion.plist, put in your password, and check your “about this mac” to verify.
Then install and you’ll be fine!
Worked 100% for me!
