Safari can open a lot of file types for you. PDF files, images, music files - all can be displayed within Safari without the need of downloading it to your Mac and opening them from your Downloads folder.
But what if you want to do that? We show you two easy ways… (more…)
Some time ago, we had a post on Address Book, a handy application, that comes with Mac OS X.
While it’s nice to have your contacts stored in one place and be able to sync them to your mobile (look at this post for more information) there is more to Address Book. Let’s see which applications make use of Address Book and where you’ll meet your contacts again.
As you might know already, Butler is a true, multi-purpose tool. One of its main features is the ability to launch applications and bookmarks.
Today we will find out, how to make Butler launch multiple items (applications, bookmarks, etc.) at once.
In these days more and more stuff can be done online. A lot of services require us to enter personal data, such as address, phone number and email address into some kind of web form.
This can be quite a pain in the neck, especially as you have to enter the same data over and over again.
Well, no longer. Safari and Address Book work together to do that work for you. Let’s find out how.
Recently, we covered the software updates, released by Apple. SafariStand, one of our favorites add-ons for Safari also has been updated.
One of the major new features of SafariStand is History Flow which will give you a visual web history right in Safari.
Today we take a brake from Butler and look at how we can use SafariStand to never have to worry about closed windows or tabs in Safari any more.
Automatic restore of your previous browsing session is on the way.
The last post was on how to open multiple pages in Safari with one click, utilizing the Auto-Click feature for bookmark folders.
However, there are times, when you don’t want to open all the sites, inside a folder, but pick a single one.
To do so, hold down the option-key and click on the Auto-Click folder (we named it Favorites). This will pop up the list of all bookmarks in this folder, allowing you to select the one you wish to open.
Bookmark management is really easy in Safari, our web browser of choice.
Everyone has a bunch of favorite site, e.g. Mac Kindergarten, Google, Facebook, you name it. We visit those sites on a regular basis, most of the time as soon as we go online.
But there is no need to enter the addresses of these pages every time you go online. In fact, only one click is needed after this tutorial.
In these days of the battle for users, between the web browsers, every browser checks, if it is the default browser. The default browser is opened if you click on any web page link (e.g. in a email message).
As you go along and have multiple browser installed (e.g. Safari and Firefox), both want to be the primary choice. Here is how you set your default browser, ending the nagging. (more…)
