vkeios posted:Xee is pretty good and its got a major overhaul thats not quite in the App Store yet. And as long as you also install TheUnarchiver (also free) you can browse archives of pictures too. As far as I am concerned, Xee is perfect as a viewer once you play with some of the keyboard shortcut (make delete delete etc). It's not Irfanview, but using a Mac always means there are some programs that are just better over there.

Jump ship to chrome, I found safari with under ten tabs laggy on a brand new iMac. Now I can have as many as I want, little lag. Safari used to be a good browser, not sure what they did to it.

This might be a bit of a silly question, but what exactly can I do with Alfred that I can't do with Spotlight? Besides the workflows, of course.

For the purpose of launching apps the benefit of apps like Alfred are that they're much faster than Spotlight. You can also do things like Google and Wikipedia searches, control iTunes, function as a calculator, and a bunch of other stuff that I can never remember.

Safari used to be a good browser, not sure what they did to it. Rebooted and now it's fine. Didn't take a real good look at Activity monitor before I restarted so I'm not sure if something else was going crazy but my CPU wasn't being pegged. Adding to my frustration I just noticed that the letter keys don't repeat when you hold them down? Apparently it's been like this since Lion but I didn't notice it until now.

Can anyone recommend a free backup software that can keep my files in sync with a external hard drive every time I plug it in? I don't really want to use time machine. Although time machine may be the easiest choice.

I'm just trying to understand what needs to be different about the free software to distinguish it from Time Machine.

Wario In Real Life posted:That's not bad, although I still wish it had directory nav by default. If I open an image in a folder with other images then it should have little arrows for thumbing through all the other images in that directory. This is probably something I got used to in Windows years ago, but it still would be nice to have now.

I have a few albums which have been split up by iTunes. Some googling indicates that they're due to the artist field being different - but the artist field is supposed to be different since the album had more than one artist. Is there any way to put them back together without making them all the same artist?

Is there any way to put them back together without making them all the same artist? Either mark them as Compilations or set an Album Artist (usually the primary artist); both can be done from that Get Info window.

As for SNES, no clue if these still work: http://www.geocities.co.jp/SiliconValley-PaloAlto/2560/snes9x.html http://bannister.org/software/bsnes.htm Otherwise it looks like OpenEmu is the one to keep an eye on.

Every time I open Notification Center it closes automatically after a split second. I tried Googling and all I found were ways to completely disable it. Anyone else run into this?

I'm not even sure what the name of the thing I'm looking for here is, but with the impending death of Google Reader, I've been re-evaluating my web-consumption habits and trying to get rid of a lot of the extraneous crap I read every day and lower the amount of "idle browsing" where I just click through bookmarks and checking things out. One problem I'm bumping in to though is that certain blogs, don't have an RSS feed attached to them (https://keen.io/blog for example), so I can't just ignore them unless they've got a little unread badge sitting next to them. Is there an RSS reader out there (preferably a native client, but a web-version would be ok too) that will do something like "Ping this webpage every day and see if it's updated and notify me if so"? I'm not sure this makes sense, but it seems like a terrible waste of time for me to check a handful of sites every day or so just to see if they've posted something new.

Is there a good Time Management app for mac? Something that will notice when i'm browsing too much and pop a notification? Also, if it could sort of list say that i used Photoshop for X hours, Chrome for X hours so at the end of the day I can fill in a work timesheet.

There's a few places out there where you can generate and RSS feed out of a page that doesn't have one. I forget which one I used to use but searching comes up with sites like http://page2rss.com/ and http://www.feeddude.com/

So due to my own stupidity my MBP isn't booting. It gets to one of the boot screens shows a spinner icon for 4 seconds, it goes away and comes back after 10. Repeat for hours. No problem I think, I'll just command-R and do some recovery. The only problem is that the HD in it is a SSD that IT at work installed Mountain Lion on, but then was connected to my old Lion drive and everything was copied over, so I have a Lion recovery partition. Even after doing Internet Recovery the only option is to Install Lion. Which then fails because a newer version of the OS is installed. I have my home Apple ID with Mountain Lion purchase, and my work Apple ID with OSX developer access and as such Mountain Lion purchase on it, but if I follow the instructions in the OP of: quote:How do I make a bootable installation disc for Lion/Mountain Lion? Will that let me reinstall/recover without destroying things in /Users and other non system folders? Alternatively I can probably fumble around the LD_LIBRARY_PATH enough to get ftp working and copy the files I need but I'd rather not spend my 3 day weekend recovering from my own stupidity.
