Will MobileMe turn Leopard into iTunes OS?

Posted on 6 July 2008 in dotmac & MobileMe, iPhone & iPhone 3G, iTunes | No Comments »

I just did another test this morning (sending my @me.com address an email) to see if it has been activated and YES it is active!
To me the transition to mobile can lead to 2 possible scenarios: on my opinion there will be another OS X update (Leopard & Tiger): thesis, but another scenario is possible too: antithesis.

Remotely control iTunes (7.7) from your iPhone/iPod Touch

Posted on 27 June 2008 in iPhone & iPhone 3G, iPod & iPod Touch, iTunes | 1 Comment »

iSofa, wifiTunes, Signal ($30) etc… will be swept way when iTunes 7.7 will be released.
The beta version Apple is seeding to developer comes with a bundled application that will allow you to that.
It should be released maybe today or tomorrow (because the iPhone 3G will be shipped on june 29th) or in two weeks maximum (MobileMe release date july 11th).

Beyond the new remote functionality, iTunes 7.7 is also known to add an Applications tab to let users specify loading only certain software on the phone, and will be necessary for both iPhone 3G and the MobileMe sync service.

Last.fm & Leopard

Posted on 26 June 2008 in 3rd Party Software, Macintosh Tips & Help, iTunes | 3 Comments »

Why doesn’t the Last.fm client work for most (or all) Leopard users?
The explanation must be too technical or inexistent. I’ve tried all that a normal user can do to make it work: deleting preferences of the application, delete and re-install it, changed my last.fm password.. but in vain.
Before Leopard got released I wasn’t using the Last.fm client anyways, I had a crush for CoverSutra when it became compatible with Last.fm.
But even CoverSutra isn’t working for me on Leopard (I’m not the only one having this problem it seems), add to that the fact the application became too heavy with its new spotlight like feature.

Today a friend gave me the solution; downgrade to CoverSutra version 1.1.4 and it works!!!


I took the little heart (in the menu bar) that comes with CoverSutra version 2 and here I am scrobbling again the songs I’m listening!

My Last.fm account: this way.

  • First gap: PDF’s. While you’re able to read/download PDF files on the flow from Safari, Firefox 3 doesn’t have this ability. You can make Firefox open these kind of files by adding a free plugin that “uses PDFKit to display PDFs in the browser.â€
    You can get the plugin here.
  • Second gap: iWeb made sites rendering is broken in Firefox 3. Until Apple releases a fix for iWeb, here’s a fix to download. Go here to download Fix iWeb and Firefox 3 1.1.
