Path Finder 5

|
One feature alone is worth the price of the software and it's loaded with features
|
|
|
|
|
Split pane browsing, drop stack, tabbed browsing, integrated Terminal
|
|
|
|
|
A simple feature like 'Open with…' is made more powerful because they add 'Running…'
|

So you don't have to wade through a giant list of all your apps.

New Macbook Air impresses the press
|
|
|
|
|
Getting great reviews
|
|
|
|
|
Despite the "downgrade" of the processors performance is improved.
|
|
|
|
|
Performance on new Macbook Air reportedly up to par with 15" Macbook Pros?
|
|
|
|
|
SSD and GPU seems to help over prior gen models.
|
|
|
|
|
Boots in 8 seconds according to the Macworld review
|
|
|
|
|
Many like the second USB port and SD card slot on the 13"
|
|
|
|
|
Has lost the backlit keyboard, not a feature I use too often on my 15" to be honest (turn off to save battery)
|
|
|
|
|
Like the improved screen resolution
|
|
|
|
|
1,440 by 900 pixels on the 13" and 1366 by 768 on the 11"
|
|
|
|
|
Option to have 4GB (this should be standard IMO)
|
|
|
|
|
Have been some early reports of issues
|
|
|
|
|
Kernel panics
|
|
|
|
|
Video issues. “weird colors in vertical lines” extending across the entire screen.
|
|
|
|
|
Hopefully not another NVIDIA video disaster.
|
|
|
|
|
There was the MacBook Air (Late 2010) Software Update 1, addressing wake from sleep and movie playback issues
|

iPhoto update addresses data loss
|
|
|
|
|
Apple rushed out iPhoto '11 9.0.1 update to address some customers reporting data loss when upgrading their iPhoto '09 (8.X) libraries
|
|
|
|
|
According to Apple's release notes the issue occurred in "extremely rare cases"
|
|
|
|
|
I had more than a couple reports of the bug.
|
|
|
|
|
Apple recommends installing the update prior to upgrading your Library
|
|
|
|
|
The issue seems to be mostly related to users force quitting the app thinking it's stalled
|
|
|
|
|
For very large libraries, iPhoto '11 may appear to be inactive for several minutes before the progress bar is displayed — do not force quit the application during this period.
|
|
|
|
|
If you have force quit iPhoto '11 during a library upgrade, you should not attempt to open iPhoto '11 or upgrade the library again without first installing the iPhoto 9.0.1 Update.
|
|
|
|
|
My impressions of iLife 11 so far
|
|
|
|
|
Love the full screen mode and info bar in iPhoto
|
|
|
|
|
Also the new controls
|
|
|
|
|
Except the loss of the "Merge/Split" and rotate buttons in the toolbar
|
|
|
|
|
Book and Card templates seem more approachable and easier to work with
|
|
|
|
|
Love the new slideshow options and export feature
|
|
|
|
|
Love the "Add to" and "Share buttons", but took a while to get used to.
|
|
|
|
|
iMovie trailers are fun, but might get old
|
|
|
|
|
Audio editing in iMovie is a nice edition, but wish there was more control. Still need to see if there is improved Garageband round-tripping
|
|
|
|
|
Haven't had a need to use the new garageband features
|
|
|
|
|
Groove Matching and Flextime are serious tools
|
|
|
|
|
New lessons are also welcome.
|
|
|
|
|
iTunes get it's Genius (back) on
|
|
|
|
|
Apple quietly updated the "Ping" sidebar in iTunes 10
|
|
|
|
|
The renamed it the 'iTunes Sidebar'
|
|
|
|
|
Added back in Genius recommendations
|
|
|
|
|
Genius stuff appears below the Ping "Like"/"Post" section and the "Recent Activity".

No USB 3 on Mac, blame Intel
|
|
|
|
|
Reportedly an inquiry to Jobs via email resulted in this response:
|
|
|
|
|
"we don't see USB 3 taking off at this time." and…
|
|
|
|
|
"no support from Intel,"
|
|
|
|
|
Emails need to be taken with a grain of salt
|
|
|
|
|
Intel has pushed back Lightpeak
|
|
|
|
|
It won't be here until 2012
|
|
|
|
|
10Gbit/sec (USB 3 theoretical max is 5/Gbit/sec)
|
|
|
|
|
It's fiber optic and gets past cable length issues, latency, etc.
|
|
|
|
|
No word on solution for power. Intel trying to bundle copper wire.
|
|
|
|
|
USB 3.0 is here today and will do sustained transfer rates that beat Firewire 800, but maybe not eSATA?
|
|
|
|
|
Apple has all but abandoned FW
|
|
|
|
|
Not supporting new FW standard(s) yet
|
|
|
|
|
Not supporting eSATA or USB 3.0
|
|
|
|
|
No Lightpeak?

We still want iDVD
|
|
|
|
|
Many of you responded to day that you love iDVD and burn DVDs of your iMovie projects
|
|
|
|
|
I had said I wish Apple would add new features to iDVD to allow it to output on DVD formats compatible with iTunes and AppleTV
|
|
|
|
|
I had been thinking it was one or the other, but there is no reason to do away with DVD burning, at least not yet.
|
|
|
|
|
It could be additive
|
|
|
|
|
iTunes LP, iTunes Extra, and iBook (eBook) compatible files.
|
|
|
|
|
Across the board in iLife. Why not have that iPhoto album as a iBooks eBook.
|
|
|
|
|
Can save iPhoto books as PDF and load them into iTunes, sync with iBooks
|
|
|
|
|
Problem is it's not optimized for iPad.
|
|
|
|
|
Can your iPhoto Library get stale?

Restore iMovie missing clips
|
|
|
|
|
I have a project where I used clips that I later moved to my external drive.
|
|
|
|
|
I moved the clips the wrong way.
|
|
|
|
|
Don't do it in the Finder (Movies-->iMovie Events)
|
|
|
|
|
Do it in iMovie
|
|
|
|
|
click the Hard Disk button to see all available hard disks listed in your Event Library
|
|
|
|
|
Move the events from one drive to the other. Will ask you if you want to move only the events not used in projects
|
|
|
|
|
Hold the 'Command' key down as you copy the video to have it moved from one location to the other maintaining the project links.
|
|
|
|
|
If you mess up.
|
|
|
|
|
Quit iMovie and move it back to the original location via the Finder
|
|
|
|
|
Re-launch iMovie and move it as described.
|
|
|
|
|
Use aliases
|
|
|
|
|
Hover over the yellow "caution" or number icons to see the path iMove expects the file to be at on the local disk
|
|
|
|
|
Create an alias at that location that point to the source file on the external drive.

For me they are two really different animals, but I've been hearing this comparison a lot.
|
|
|
|
|
Thickness (0.5" on iPad vs 0.68 to 0.11" on the 11" Macbook Air)
|
|
|
|
|
Weight ( 1.5 lbs. vs. 2.3 on the 11" Macbook Air)

Size
|

iPad: 9.56" x 7.47"
|
|
|
|
|
Air: 11.8" x 7.56"
|
|
|
|
|
Price: $699.00 w/ 64GB (iPad), $999.00 w/ 64GB 11" Macbook Air
|
|
|
|
|
Similarities seem to end there
|
|
|
|
|
iOS vs Mac OS X
|
|
|
|
|
USB ports, full keyboard and trackpad, 1.4 GHz Core 2 Duo processor, NVIDIA GeForce 320M graphics.
|
|
|
|
|
iPad has double the battery life.

Items not streaming to Apple TV
|
|
|
|
|
Ken noticed that his movies had to be checked (in the list view) in iTunes to be able to be seen and streamed to his new Apple TV
|
|
|
|
|
I like many uncheck music and music videos so they don't play on random. You can also prevent unchecked items from syncing to your devices.
|
|
|
|
|
Apparently many are also reporting a bug where the "blue" played/unplayed dot isn't updating properly after playing items on the Apple TV.
