0347 - MobileMe Gallery Migration Part 1 - ZangZing [HD - Trailer]
[LESS INFO] 2 VIEWS | ADDED 00:00:00 05/18/12
(image) This tutorial covers the final aspect of migrating away from MobileMe before it's closed down on June 30th, and that's MobileMe galleries. MobileMe galleries are a great way of sharing your photos and videos, but alas, will be no more as of June 30th, 2012. The week's tutorial takes a look at the current MobileMe gallery functionality and suggests some possible alternatives. In this first of a two part series, I take a look at ZangZing, a great online service that gives you up to 2GB of space for free (potentially up to 10GB free), has a clean modern interface and integrates with the usual social media services. Best of all, it integrates with a host of other online photo sharing services and can import photos online. And yes, that includes MobileMe galleries.

The first part is a look at the new features introduced in Alfred 1.2, a fairly major update with some great integration with 1Password, and now support for large type. I also include a peek behind the curtain to show you how I've configured my new Thunderbolt drive into multiple partitions, as well as the reasons why I did it, and how I manage them. Finishing off with looking at running some AppleScripts in various ways to unmount partitions.

SCOI0056 - Tweetbot - Twitter Client [Trailer]
[LESS INFO] 73 VIEWS | ADDED 13:54:27 05/04/12
Twitter is maturing into an indispensable messaging platform for many millions of people. The importance of Twitter has been recognised by Apple by its deep integration with iOS5.
Unfortunately, the official Twitter client leaves a lot to be desired, and the quest for the ultimate Twitter client continues unabated.
This week, I take a look at what may take the title of the ultimate Twitter client, and that's Tweetbot.
Tweetbot by Tapbots had a huge update just a month or so ago and introduced an iPad version of the app. This has met with great critical acclaim and has become widely adopted as the Twitter client of choice by many people.
Another big update in the last few weeks has further enhanced the application and I felt it was time to give it the ScreenCastsOnline treatment.
Features of special note include it's synchronisation between different iOS devices using iCloud. Keep you position in your timeline, even when switching between devices. It has full gesture support and new integration with Storify to make Twitter even more useful.
Even better is the ability to "mute" people, hashtags and even applications, if your timeline is starting to get a little too noisy, or polluted with unwanted tweets.
This full tutorial includes sections on:
* Installation & Setup
* iCloud Sync
* Timeline, Mentions & Messages
* Using Gestures
* Details and Conversation Views
* Sharing a Conversation
* Replying To Tweets
* Creating A New Tweet
* Creating A Direct Message
* Muting People, Hashtags & Clients
* Muting People

(image) The imminent closure of MobileMe is rapidly drawing nearer. Apple are due to turn off all MobileMe related services on June 30th 2012. This week, I take you through what is needed to migrate your iWeb websites, currently hosted on MobileMe, to an external web hosting service. It's easier than you think, especially as I show you the process step by step. There are even some discount codes to make it less painfull.

SCOI0055 - GoodReader - Part 2 [Full Free Show]
[LESS INFO] 72 VIEWS | ADDED 11:38:59 04/28/12
Continuing on from last week, I continue looking at using GoodReader.
Initially designed as a File Viewer and PDF annotation tool, GoodReader has matured into the "Swiss Army Knife" of file transfer applications.
In this second part, I take you through some of the more advanced file transfer capabilities of this amazing application.
oodReader has built in support for many different file transfer protocols and as a result, can interface to many, many external services. In this episode, I take a look at searching for and connecting to local Macs using Bonjour and AFP as well as downloading web content via URLs or using the GoodReader browser. As far as external services are concerned, I demonstrate how you can access you DropBox account and set up Sync Folders.
One of the unexpected benefits of syncing HTML files to GoodReader, is that you can run them on the iPad itself, without an Internet connection. I put this, and the ability to create local links to GoodReader files, to good use by creating a local Safari bookmark to run the Cheaters webpages directly from Safari - a bit geeky but it kept me amused!
This full tutorial includes sections on:
* Connecting To Local Macs
* Web Transfers
* Copying URLs
* Using "ghttp"" Links
* GoodReader Web Browser
* Moving Files
* File Transfer From External Systems
* Creating & Using Sync Folders
* GoodReader Links

SCOI0053 - Drafts & Terminology [Trailer]
[LESS INFO] 208 VIEWS | ADDED 11:02:46 04/14/12
[Trailer for Members Show] Two applications in this week's tutorial, both from the same vendor.
The main focus of the tutorial is **Drafts**, a new application intended to remove the friction of entering short text notes on your iOS device. Just fire up the app and you'll be presented with a new note - no creating or naming required. Once you've entered the text, you can send it to all sorts of places - Twitter, email, clipboard, etc. Add in Markdown and TextExpander touch support, and it's earned a place in my doc.
I also take a look at **Terminology**, a great Dictionary/Thesaurus application with native integration with **Drafts** and other applications.
The main idea behind **Drafts** is that it's your go to application for creating quick text notes. You don't have to worry about what you intend to do with the text, just open the application and type away. You don't have to do anything with it, in fact, you can leave your note in **Drafts** and retrieve it later to edit or action.
If you do want to send it elsewhere, **Drafts** has built in Twitter integration courtesy of iOS5, the ability to send your note to your Twitter client or to send it as an email or to your clipboard. If you're a Markdown aficionado, you can use this great, lightweight markup language to format your plain text note, then preview in Markdown, send as a formatted email or copy to the clipboard in HTML.
With full TextExpander touch support, **Drafts** can become your all purpose text entry app on your iOS device.
The tutorial also covers **Terminology**, with native integration with **Drafts** and other applications, just select a word in **Drafts** and either lookup the word in **Terminology**, or lookup and replace with a new word. All with just a few taps.
**Drafts** is currently only available as an iPhone app, but works great in 2x mode, especially on the new iPad.
**Terminology** is available as separate iPhone and iPad apps
This full tutorial includes sections on:
* Drafts Overview
* Basic Usage
* Terminology Overview
* Drafts Integration

(image) Two parts to this week's tutorial - FlashBack & ScreenFlow Part 2 **FlashBack Malware** - Due to the recent controversy surrounding the discovery of this "drive-by-download" malware on Macs, I take a brief look at the problem and how you can protect yourself now, and in the future. **ScreenFlow Part 2** - Part 2 of one of the most requested subjects this week - ScreenFlow by Telestream. ScreenFlow is the premier video screencasting tool, the main application I use to record, edit and encode the weekly ScreenCastOnline shows. Recently I moved from a workflow including various video editing and recording applications to using ScreenFlow on its own. It's matured into a highly capable and feature rich package, enabling anyone to create their own screencasts to share with friends, family and colleagues. Use it for personal or business use, you'll be amazed at just how useful it can become. This is the second in a series of Screenflow tutorials that will enable you to become a screencast expert.
