A couple of people have asked how do they export an iWeb website to an external host. For example they don’t want to pay for MobileMe but want to export their website. It is quite simple to do this. All you need is the no-how, and FTP uploader and a web host. It doesn’t take more than 5 minutes to complete and is quite simple.
I have a lot of hard drives. For example my internal disk on my MacBook Pro is split into to partitions, one for Mac OS X and one for Windows. I have an external backup disk, this is split into two, one for Time Machine and one for a bit more storage. I am soon going to get another disk to use as storage. What I am going to show you in this post is how to partition this disks so you can use them for more than one thing. It useful to have a partition. Its easier to split up files, and makes organising them easier. As well as this you can have more than one disk format on the same disk.
I seem to be doing a lot of random list articles all of a sudden. It must be a phase I am going through. Anyway I like lists since I can refer to them myself when I can’t remember how to do something. This list today is going to lots of hints, tips and tricks for Spaces. Spaces is the virtual desktop software which can allow you to have more than one desktop at a time. Very handy if your computers gets cluttered up. This list will range from the basic tip to the more advance tricks. I hope it comes in handy for you.
The one single “bug” on Mac OS X by far is the ability to switch buttons in dialog boxes. For example I mean using Tab to go between OK, Cancel, Don’t Save etc. For a long while until today I had just got used to using the mouse. Although you can use some shortcut keys for Save, but these aren’t always reliable. Windows has the ability to tab through button options. Why not Mac? Well you can and it is blindingly obvious.
Installing and using printers is a funny subject on a Mac. I always get a response that printers won’t work, they are hard to install etc. The truth is that installing a printer on a Mac is a lot simpler than you may think. Like most tricks on a Mac you need to know the method, it is then simple to replicate. As well as this I will also show you one of the coolest printer tricks I have ever found.
Yesterday in my previous post on a Anti-Robber Script I mentioned how you can run your script through email. This post will hopefully teach you the simple way of controlling your Macremotely over the Internet. This is designed so you can quickly tell you computer when you are at work to do specific tasks without the need for logging in via SSH or some complicated method. Although you can only do basic things with this tip, it is simple to perform and doesn’t take long to learn, or much technical know how.
