Re: Mac "must have" Apps

I like the look of the app "Remote Mouse" that allows an iphone to become a mouse and qwerty keyboard, will be useful for my mac mini when I get an iphone.

Re: Mac "must have" Apps

I have tried one before - granted not that specific one - and it was poor. There was a significant delay between you doing something on the phone and it actually happening on the Mac. For that reason, I won't be spending £1.19 to find out that this app is the same.

Seems to get good reviews TBF.

Re: Mac "must have" Apps

The one I tried had a four star rating. It was Mobile Mouse FREE (Remote/Trackpad). It's free as the name suggests. Try it and see what you think.

If anyone has a second, could you check the price of Virtual City. I have been charged £3.99 for it, but I'm sure that's not right.

 

[Schweppy]

Re: Mac "must have" Apps

Yep shows as £3.99 for me.

Ok cool. Must've been looking at something else. Cheers.

The free version is very limited apparently. And I can't try it as I don't have an iphone.

Remote Mouse is awesome! just hooked my MBP up to the telly, laid in bed using the iPhone4, winner.

Re: Mac "must have" Apps

Yeah, Remote Mouse works brilliantly!

The Twitter app is also a must have.

Re: Mac "must have" Apps

I downloaded remote mouse, not really expecting much...But yeah its actually really good. I have found it better to use it on the iPad (as Im doing now). Its much smoother I found.

Sparrow is awesome. It's not on the store yet, but apparently it will be.

Not an app, but very cool none the less.

No only clever people have macs, don't they?

No.

Some people actually buy a Mac and then have Win7 installed instead of Mac OSX! Stoopid.

LOL clue all in the title right!! Is it worth it would you say?

 

[Tom]

yes

 

[eugegall]

Cheers boss. On it

 

[eugegall]

Tom i just purchased the lifetime cleanmymac.

May sound silly but is there anything i need to do now? I did a scan and clean. Is there a way i can tell if there was anything bad on the Mac?

 

[Tom]

Nope, but watch the amount of space it clears out. Its hilarious.

[The Boosh!]

^^ That programme has just gained you over 4gb hd space? Jesus!

How much is it?

£25 for lifetime. Bargain

 

[DanFreemanPhoto]

Cleanmymac has cleared out over 14GB of data off my MBP since I started using. Granted most of that has been cache files....mostly adobe bridge.

Does a good job, just have to be careful I think.

 

[The Ironist]

Mine has done 250GB, a lot of that Trash Can though.

Safari and Chrome both make massive caches.

I usually forget to empty trash and it pops up at 3GB so I just do a full scan.

 

[Christopher]

I might grab that soon!

Anyone used total finder?

I find Windows 7 taskbar much easier to manage with multiple applications/windows than I do with OSX, I guess I am just used to windows in that aspect. As well as explorer, find that easier on Windows when using multiple folders, however, seems like total finder will be able to assist me on the last part.

 

[cava83]

seems like http://hyperdock.bahoom.com/ will be able to sort out my taskbar issue, hopefully.

Best thing i've downloaded in a while.

Most handy feature is the 'snap to' function. Acts like windows 7 does where you can automatically resize windows to half the size of your monitor.

I got this (well, BetterSnapTool off the app store) last night when I was doing some work at home, and it improved my workflow massively.
Having windows in fixed positions it so much better than them all overlapping in a mess!

Been using this app since SL for added multi-touch. I have skip, back, pause/play all set up as gestures.

 

[The Boosh!]

The custom gestures is great. Safari was annoying me as when I had FF you could scroll to the bottom of a page using 3 fingers. Set it up in safari now.

It's great.

Airserver is pretty good. Enables you to stream audio and video to your macbook (enables airplay basically)

Playback is pretty good for that - I stream vids from my Mac to my PS3 with it

Nah airserver is for Airplay.

So iphone/ipod touch to Mac where as you can normally only stream to ATV.

 

[Schweppy]

1Password is also a very useful OSX App.

Got my 15" MBP today. Bling.

Any thing i need to get?

 

[Gavin.]

Popclip from that Appstore is a pretty decent addition
