Time Machine Rocks The Future

Having nearly tested nearly every new feature of Leopard, I can say that I really like it! I’ve loved Tiger and I love Leopard even more. The features are deep-thought and are not “WOW” when you hear them from Apple’s website – but when you start to use Leopard you’ll see lot’s of small changes that make life easier.

One of the rather big changes was Time Machine. Time Machine is a automated backup application with which you can actually travel back in time to get your lost stuff back into the future. Really useful that tool!

So why mention this? Well, my good old PowerBook G4 ain’t that fastest machine in the universe. The rather small HD makes it hard for me to fit a vast iTunes library on it. The iTunes movies take lot’s of space with about 1 Gigabyte per movie. So there were just 34 Gigabytes saying good bye.

I ended having up only 5 Gigabytes! Not good! Not only cause of the low number – but because it slows everything down. Slooooooooowwwww.

So what did I do? Well, I just trashed my 30 movies and boom, 40 Gigabytes of free space. Wonder about them being lost? No, No! The movies are backed up on my external HD and I can access them whenever I need to. Just makes life so much easier. :-D

So if you ever need space – trust in Time Machine because you can rock the future by going back in time. :-P

Lastly, the Time Machine screenshot has been screenshoted from Apple’s website. Thanks Apple for the image and for this fantastic application!

Accessing iPhone/iPod File System

I have recently made a tutorial on how to jailbreak your iPod/iPhone. Now it’s time to move on to a second part of this…

John has dropped me a mail asking how to put NES ROM’s onto the iPhone/iPod or how to get widgets into the iPhone/iPod’s file system and so I thought, why not write a tutorial!

You can not only put NES ROM’s on your iPod/iPhone if you have access to the file system – but you have access to every single item and file in the iPhone/iPod!!! Nothing is no longer safe – it’s under your control. You can write your own app for the iPod/iPhone or you can modify existing ones, add new wallpapers – all up to you! :-D

Just for your info, same things as far as rights and warranty of the iPhone/iPod and my blaming part in this, they are the same as in the Jailbreak Tutorial!

So, let’s get this thing started:

Newly Dressed

Now that I am starting to write this post – I am actually wondering if it makes sense to write this. Because … telling you that I have redesigned my site is obvious, isn’t it? So why write a post about it? Lol!

Well, even if you have realized that the site is newly dressed, I would like to “officially” state that I gave it a new dress. It is a Wordpress Theme named “Bubbly” that I plan to officially release when I’m finished with this one. Make sense? I just don’t want my design to be found twice around the world. :-D

Enjoy the new look!

Google Analytics and iWeb?

I’ve been getting a lot of mails recently asking me if I could do a tutorial on how to add Google Analytics to iWeb.

There is actually a tutorial out there already. It is actually made for Statcounter – but it works for Google Analytics as well!

You will use iTweak which is a free application that allows you to add any Hitcounter you wish (wether it be Google, Statcounter, Mint, CrazyEgg or whatever)! A tutorial for how to use iTweak along with a Hitcounter can be found here.

Perfect Audiobooks in iTunes

Do you want to get your audiobook from CD to iTunes? But not just as thousand songs – but as one file that goes into the audiobook tab both in iTunes and on your iPod? Do you even want chapters for your audiobook?

This tutorial will show you how to import your audiobook from CD and then get it into iTunes to show up under audiobooks with chapters!

So, let’s get this thing started.

This tutorial has two starting points. One of them is, if you have already imported a audiobook into iTunes. The other starting point is, that you still need to jam all of those CD’s into iTunes.

If you still need to import the audiobooks into iTunes, then start with the first step. If you have them in iTunes already, skip to step two.
