You poll iMacos #2 – iPad

How will you all already almost know more that of scraps, Apple presented the day before yesterday his revolutionary product called iPad, the hybrid between iPhone and portable. If you do not know yet anything on this matter, you can gain access to the Keynote of his presentation in the linkage that I will put at the end of the entry.

It is clear that if something has brought with it this one presentation, this is an attention. An enormous attention on the part of the mass media of all kinds, which do that now we have all kinds of opinions regarding the above mentioned "pot". Here in iMacos we want to know what your opinion is and, for it, we open this second small survey (of multiple answer this time) so that you share it with us.

Mine is that they might not have been right any more with the product. What has no Flash? And why do we want it having the HTML5. It is clear that it is a new product and that, like raisin in all the cases, it needs to be retouched.

We leave this entry opened for comments so that you think about the iPad if you consider it to be necessary. You can gain access to the Surveys paragraph from the principal iMacos page. We wait for your collaboration!

iMacTrucos #14: To turn the Assistant of Beginning

This is a utility that there will allow us to begin again the Initial Assistant of Mac OS X, slightly very useful if the Manager's user is had damaged, or simply it wants to be formed again starting of zero.

To put it into practice, we will have to continue the following steps:

1. To light the computer while we keep the touched keys I COMMAND + Century. This will indicate him to the operating system that the team should start in form of the only user. One will show us a screen similar to the one that we obtain when we open a window of the Terminal.

2. To introduce the following commands in the same order in which it is said:

/sbin/fsck - and [and to touch Comeback]

/sbin/mount-uaw [and to touch Comeback]

rm/var/db/.applesetupdone [and to touch Comeback]

reboot [and to touch Comeback]

3. To begin the computer again. A new user one will show us the screen of the Assistant of Configuration where we will be able to create.

What we will have done is to erase the Manager's account that we had, and created other one of piece of news by means of the Assistant of Initial Configuration. It will support to us all the applications that we have installed and we will be able to recover all his information if this way we wish it.

Use this only if you are sure of having some problem with your Manager's user, or you have forgotten the beginning password.

iMacTrucos #15: To create images from the applications icon

This is a small trick that, although I discovered some time ago and I have used little, some time ago I have made again use of him to capture a few images.

The utility is simple: to we allow to take the icon of any program as an image to maximum possible resolution. Anyway, which really suit are those of applications of the proper one YOU X (iCal, Mail, Safari, …), since they make use of the maximum of definition of the image.

To realize the apprehension, it is enough to continue the following steps:

1. To select the wished application (Front Row in our example), and to copy it (CMD + C).

2. To open the application Turned out to be Previous. Once opened, we go to FILE-> NEW FROM THE PORTAPAPELES (CMD + N).

3. There will be opened to us the icon of the program that we have chosen at first. What we will have to do next will be to keep it in format.jpeg.png, or any other that we wish (CMD + S). If we mark the option ALPHA, the image will keep us without the white fund, so that we could use it in staff or elements with fund and this one remains perfect.

The result is simply unbeatable, and very simple to achieve if we do not dominate programs as Photoshop. We hope that it should be useful to you. A greeting!

iMacTutos #8: Configuration and use of the service iWork.com

After the tutors' big compilation of iLife that we did it already does a time, we recapture this section of the blog with a new focused tutor to share documents between users in the network, to make them accessible from any place, and we are allowed to be able to displace ourselves this way without need to take them above.

For it, it is necessary to have the enclosure package installed iWork ‘09. It to begin using, we will continue the steps since we create a document until we unload it or visualize in iwork.com

1. The first thing will be, obviously, to create our document or to open one that we want to share. It is indistinct if it is realized by Pages, Numbers or Keynote. Next, we will select TO SHARE-> TO SHARE BY MEANS OF iWORK.COM …, or straight clicking in the button enabled for it.

2. Next, if it is the first time that we use the service, he will ask us for our Apple ID and e-mail to verify and to form the account. Once let's realize this step, a mail will come to us with a linkage to activate it (it will be necessary only to give him to the button TO VERIFY NOW). We will be able to gain access to her straight with our Apple ID and password, the same one that we use for Apple Store or the iTunes Store.

3. Once formed everything, we will return to the application of iWork, where us the window will appear to share the document. Here we will be able to introduce the mail address of the persons to whom we want to lead to his content (in the pigeonhole FOR), in addition to making the discharge possible in multiple formats and protecting it by means of password (activating the ADVANCED OPTIONS). Once let's have it quite ready, we press the button TO SHARE and the load will begin. When it has finished, an assertion mail will come to us.

4. Already having the content in the web, only it is lacking to enter in iWork.com, to gain access with our Apple ID and password, and to be able to gain access to our document from any computer with Internet connection. If we select in the previous step the option to discharge, we will be able to lower a copy to modify it to our taste. Also we will have the option, if we are sharing it with more people, to be adding notes or comments that will prove to be arranged by time in the right side bar. Next you have an image of how the document is seen from the web navigator.

(CLICK IN THE IMAGE TO SEE TO REAL SIZE)

Since final detail, it is necessary to mention that it is a service that Beta is still in phase (in development) and that, at least for the time being, the space that we can use is limited to 1GB, more than sufficient talking each other of documents. We hope that it should be useful to you. A greeting!
