Services Menu Options Hey you wanna-be Mac Power users, this article is a follow-up to Your Quick Guide To The Services Menu On Snow Leopard published on Monday. While Apple has improved its Services Menu in Snow Leopard, it’s not very useful unless you have items in it that you can use. Some 3rd party applications will automatically include Services items, but the best use of Services is to custom build your own items, which can be done with Automator, a program installed with OS X Leopard and Snow Leopard. MUO published an article last year, How To Use Automator To Batch Rename Images on Mac about how to use a previous version of Automator. This how-to will show you how to use the newest version, incorporating the Services template to help you get started. The focus on this automation tutorial will show you how to create a Services menu item for the Mac that resizes a selected image on your Mac and attaches it to an email. Step 1 Launch Automator, found in your applications folder. Step 2 Step 3 1. 2. Step 4 1.
OS X Lion: Where did my Library go? | MacFixIt In OS X, user accounts are structured so that most user settings and resources that applications need are located in the Library folder. As a result, when troubleshooting various problems with settings and applications you may be able to fix the problem by changing something in this folder. In versions of OS X prior to OS X 10.7 the Library folder was readily accessible in the user's Home directory, but upon upgrading to Lion people are finding the Library folder appears to be missing. The Library folder is in fact just hidden from view by default in Lion, instead of being available to easily browse through. Apple has not made any changes to the Library folder, but instead has just made use of the Finder's "hidden" flag to block it from view. Permanently unhide it Since the Library folder is just hidden with a Finder flag, you can undo this flag to make it visible again.

TNW Review: OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion Today, Apple releases its latest version of the OS X operating system for Macs, called Mountain Lion. It’s packed full of new features, as well as a layer of polishing, but it’s largely continuing the work that was begun with last year’s Lion. In a nutshell OS X 10.8 is a generous helping of iOS-friendly syncing apps and services, with a sidebar of unfortunately poor Messages and a grab bag of ‘most wanted’ features and tweaks to Lion. It’s absolutely worth the $20 price tag to upgrade, as there is more good here than bad, and that’s super cheap. Quick Links: Installing Mountain Lion - iCloud - Messages - Mail - Notification Center - Security and Gatekeeper - Safari - Sharing, Twitter and Facebook integration - Dictation - Calendar, Contacts, Notes, Reminders and Preview - System Preferences - The Mac App Store – Game Center - Finder and full screen apps - AirPlay Mirroring - Conclusion Welcome to Mountain Lion Mountain Lion is a significant release on many levels.

With Mountain Lion, Apple has brought a bunch of useful iOS features over to the Mac, including AirPlay mirroring, Messages, Reminders, Twitter, and iCloud support throughout the OS.

Hands on with Apple's new OS X: Mountain Lion Apple updates its iOS mobile operating system once a year. But why should the iPhone and iPad have all the fun? On Thursday Apple announced that it will release a new version of OS X—Mountain Lion—this summer, just a year after the release of OS X Lion.

This OS X release continues Apple’s philosophy of bringing iOS features “back to the Mac,” and includes iMessage, Reminders, Notes, Notification Center, Twitter integration, Game Center, and AirPlay Mirroring.
