what are your favorite system utilities? you know, little apps that you couldn't live without on your machine? i've got a few, some of which I'll post a screenshot of here's the first one though, and it's called iPulse it's a system monitor, gives you your CPU usage in the centre, and various things such as free disk space, RAM usage, network throughput, memory swapping etc etc all in a space the size of 128x128 pixels! it sits on your desktop and lets you know what's happening on your system :) |

and this is called LaunchBar, it's a little bar that you put in one of your corners, and when you press cmd+space you get this pop up...then you just type an abbreviation, for example xlt and it'll search your bookmarks, and documents and applications for matches! then press enter to run it! |

Terminal can come in handy sometimes, although I'm not a unix wizard I like to mess around sometimes. Oh and Panthers color profiler (I forget the exact name, I'm not at work) is great. It has 3d representations of all the profiles on your machine. |

yeah i use the terminal a lot, because i'm a sucker for command line interfaces! i used DOS extensively on my PC, and when i installed Linux i was in 7th heaven! i use the terminal quite a bit :) |

if you install the you then have access to some rather nifty terminal apps, such as being able to send stuff to the trash instead of using the "rm" command, or moving files and keeping the Mac metadata (because if you use the "cp" command, because it's a UNIX command it won't copy the metadata, it'll just copy the file itself) |

I got one! got a cool little audio programme called frequency! It gives you a graphical representation of your tune, kind of like a spectrogram, and lets you "draw" frequency and volume adjustments. Its mad!!! |
||||||||
|

|
|
yeh? is it freeware? is it an oscilloscope, or a spectral analyzer? |

oh so its ok for people to post a thread about PC programs and shit, but its not ok for someone to ask about Mac programs? |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|
|
bring it on. Macs are sexy as fuck |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
lol it's not about whether they're sexy or not i personally don't give a crap how a machine looks as long as it works, and works well that's all that matters to me :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
And they WORK PROPERLY! I'm not just saying that because i have one, I'm saying it because i've done work in plenty of studios with PC's and there always seems to be computer problems. Macs always seem much more reliable!!!!!! |

I wish OSX had an uninstaller for programs. So you can track everything down. I also wish you could defrag. |
