Watch HD Trailers from Apple on Front Row
July 27th, 2009 by Jorge Sá Pereira 4 comments »With the upcoming version of Snow Leopard, I thought that Apple might have add the possibility to watch HD movie trailers on Front Row, but till now there is no rumors about that.
So I’ve google for that possibility and I’ve found the solution ‘Front Row Trailers.prefPane’, it’s installed on System Preferences and allows to choose the Front Row’s Trailers source, the sort type and to watch trailers in HD (720p is the maximum for now).
I recommend you to open your terminal and run this command. This will stop asking your password to change one by one definition on this prefPane.
sudo chmod o+w /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/BackRow.framework/Versions/A/Resources/Trailers.plist
After configure this preference you can launch Front Row and go to Movie Trailers and you’ll see HD Trailers Folder.

iSyncButton
July 16th, 2009 by Jorge Sá Pereira 5 comments »
iSyncButton is a Dashboard Widget that allows you to synchronize the devices configured on iSync in one single click.
It opens iSync, Synchronizes and when its done (even errors ocurred) it closes.
The iSyncButton was created by me, and for now it only syncs.
On the future I want to enable cancel sync and other options.

How To… Hide GrowlTunes Toolbar Icon
July 7th, 2009 by Jorge Sá Pereira No comments »If you are like me and you like to know what’s playing on iTunes you can use GrowlTunes.
This application is on the Extras folder on the Growl (dmg) and shows you the song title, the artist, the artwork, the duration and it’s rating on a growl notification.
This is excellent but I’ve always thought that those headphones on the toolbar of the GrowlTunes app, were useless, for some good reasons like:
- I usually don´t rate my music
- To skip music I use the keyboard keys
- To quit iTunes I use ‘+Q’ letting the GrowlTunes open for the next time I open iTunes
So in order to hide the headphones icon on the toolbar, all you have to do is:
- Quit GrowlTunes.
- Open the terminal app.
- Type this command line:
defaults write com.growl.growltunes GrowlTunesWithoutMenu -bool YES - Now restart GrowlTunes.

How to… Download Flickr Photos and Sets

I’m where today to tell you how can you download complete sets from Flickr.
Imagine that you have a friend that took the pictures from a party that you were present. He as posted the photos on Flickr and they are in a big number. So to download all that photos easily you can use ‘Photo Grabbr’, available here.
The only problem is that you cannot download ‘all rights reserved’ photos!
But it looks a good app. Have a look.
