Solution to Apple Mac Pro Bluetooth Interference Issues

Ever since I changed my desktop computer from a Macbook Pro to a Mac Pro, my three Apple bluetooth input devices started encountering sporadic interference issues. My wireless keyboard would often lose connection or experienced slow or lost keystrokes. And both my Magic Mouse and my Magic Trackpad would exhibit "drunken" behavior including slow or jumpy cursor ...

Final Cut Pro X: Background task annoyances

Final Cut Pro X finally has 64-bit background rendering. It's fantastic, but it does have some issues which are painfully annoying. While active, here are a few things you can't do. Hopefully Apple will fix this in a future release. You cannot delete an event when background tasks are running (even if tasks are paused). You cannot rename a folder in the Event ...

Final Cut Pro X: Two ways to cross-dissolve your logo bug

After getting up to speed with Ripple Training's awesome 37 video lessons on the new Final Cut Pro X, I set off to further evaluate FCP X for my needs. I will say that I'm thoroughly impressed with the product, despite the bugs and the frequent crashes. It's definitely Beta.

Final Cut Pro X Training

I spent the last few evenings learning the new Apple FCP X by way of Ripple Training's awesome video tutorials (I highly recommend them) and one thing I discovered is this: throw out everything you knew about editing with FCP 7 because if you try to edit the same way, you will become very frustrated. If you're coming from a traditional NLE, get a book or buy ...

Apple iPad Donkey Kong Desktop Coin-Op

The Apple iPad isn't even out yet and there are some seriously awesome apps being discussed. NetFlix is one I'm really looking forward to. But then a friend told me about this one today... the iCade which has "hundreds" of old arcade games such as Donkey Kong, DigDug, Qbert, and more. Too bad it was just an April Fool's joke. I'm still hoping it becomes a reality one ...

What is the user agent for the Apple iPad?

If you are a web developer and want to code Apple iPad-specific pages, then you'll need to know the user agent for two reasons: 1. To be able to code your scripts to look for it 2. To change your user-agent in your browser/client to make HTTP requests As of the pre-release Apple iPad, it is: Mozilla/5.0 (iPad; U; CPU OS 3_2 like Mac OS X; en-us) AppleWebK...

How to create your own iPhone App cheap!

Through one of my projects, Appmodo, I learned about a fairly new online service that allows you to design and then launch your own App for the App Store. They can run on the iPod Touch and iPhones, too. I checked it out and we not only created an App for Appmodo but for my TV show, Motorz, as well. The service is called AppMakr, and it allows you to save hundreds ...

Now that the iPhone and iPod Touch allow a user to save a WebClip bookmark to your site on their Home Screen, most web developers are wondering, "How do I customize this so it doesn't look so horrible?" To specify a bookmark icon for all pages of a web site, place a PNG image named "apple-touch-icon.png" at the root directory of your web server - similar to the ...

Mac Week is next week

After reading last week about how Microsoft is extending the life of Windows XP due to the slow adoption rate of Windows Vista, it dawned on me that the mad excitement over the initial launch of Vista was nowhere close to what it was for Windows 95, 98, and XP. Has Microsoft lost its OS innovation or has it simply reached a point where it is as good as it gets? ...

Remapping Apple Mac keyboard for XP

Yesterday I got the new Apple aluminum keyboard and I was raving how cool it is, even for Windows XP. My main complaint was that the Windows and ALT keys were swapped, which was causing me much havoc since my brain has been programmed for so many years to find the ALT key to the left of the space bar. My initial hunt returned nothing, but after some more Googling ...

My new favorite XP keyboard is…

This is kind of an odd discovery. I used part of my $100 Apple iPhone rebate to purchase the new Apple aluminum flat keyboard, with the expectation that I would be using it for my Mac. It arrived this morning and since my primary computer of choice is a DELL Windows XP desktop, I figured ah what the hell, I'll plug it into my DELL monitor to see what happens....

When it comes to the Apple iPhone and Windows iTunes, you can synchronize your bookmarks with Internet Explorer or Windows Safari, and contacts from Outlook or Yahoo! but when it comes to synchronizing your calendar you are severely limited, unless all you use is Outlook, because that's all you can directly sync with at the moment. digg_url = "http://christhis....

Apple OK with iPhone hacking

Interesting stuff: "In an interview given to Gearlog, Apple VP of Hardware Product Marketing Greg Joswiak confirmed that the iPhone and iPod Touch run the same software, and said that Apple is not bothered by the flood of native, third party software for the iPhone and iPod Touch. Joswiak defined the Apple stance as neutral, and while they will not intentionally ...
