I honestly don’t recall this feature in Mac OS X Leopard, so I’m going to assume it’s new in Snow Leopard. But apparently you can hover over a media file in Snow Leopard and a play button will appear allowing you to preview the file’s contents (video/song) without having to open up a specific application. There you go, I learned something today.
Problems with Adobe Photoshop CS4 and Snow Leopard
October 17, 2009 @ 11:59 am
It doesn’t seem like I’m the only one who has had problems opening multiple files in Adobe Photoshop CS4 while running Snow Leopard.
In Photoshop CS3, I was able to drag multiple items into the Photoshop icon in my dock and have them all open up at once. I could do this with regular Finder items and items from within Bridge and other Adobe apps as well. But in Photoshop CS4, this functionality is sporadic at best. If I’m dragging 5 items, let’s say, sometimes Photoshop will only open 1 and other times it’ll open 3 or something. The number seems to be random.
I don’t really know if it’s a problem with Adobe or with Snow Leopard since I never ran CS4 under Leopard to see if that functionality worked there. But for now, it’s a pretty major inconvenience that I hope Apple or Adobe get fixed soon.
Enable hidden List View in Mac OS X Snow Leopard
September 29, 2009 @ 2:21 am
UsingMac discovered a new way to show the List View in Mac OS X Snow Leopard (10.6) by using a simple Terminal command. If you type in the following command into Terminal, your folder List Views in your dock will become a slightly more refined vertical list.
defaults write com.apple.dock use-new-list-stack -bool YES && killall Dock
To disable and go back to the default/original List View, just type the line below into Terminal.
defaults write com.apple.dock use-new-list-stack -bool NO && killall Dock
An image of the boring original List View is below.
Who took the snow leopard photo on the Mac OS X Snow Leopard box?
September 8, 2009 @ 7:40 pm
PDN Pulse did a bit of research and found out that photographer Tim Davis is responsible for the snow leopard photo used on Apple’s Mac OS X Snow Leopard packaging. As it turns out, it was very hard to track down this information and in the end, it was an archaic email system from OrphanSearch that proved to be the best place to find answers. Cool!
Mac OS X Snow Leopard upgrade version is just the same as the full version
August 27, 2009 @ 6:04 pm
This is news to me: It turns out that the $29 “upgrade” version of Mac OS X Snow Leopard is just the same as the $169 full install version that Apple is selling alongside it.
So whether or not you’ve got Leopard or Tiger, you can just buy the cheaper $29 version and get crankin’.
Simon, wanna split this $29 fee in half so it’s even cheaper for us? Haha…
Actually Mac OS X version 10.6 Snow Leopard
Picture of Mac OS X Snow Leopard box and disc
August 16, 2009 @ 12:01 am
Are you wondering how HOTiSO managed to get a copy of the alleged final version of Apple’s Mac OS X Snow Leopard? Well, Mac Rumors is reportedly showing a legit image of a final production Snow Leopard box and disc (in Portuguese) and they conclude that this can only mean that at least some of the discs in certain regions are available if you know the right people.
It’s readily available for download, but Apple is making it hard to justify the time needed to download a 6GB+ disc by making the upgrade only $30
Deal of the Day!
