Once a hebdomad , we gather together to recap the best narrative published on Macworld over the past seven days . This workweek , those include computer software updates from Apple — and the problems that go along with them — hint on using your Mac more expeditiously , and enough more . Let ’s dive in .
Not so perfect X
As it is wo nt to do , Apple cast outa Lion update—10.7.3 . But some early adopters were roaring in disfavor , since the updated cat seemed a moment wild : Apps would doss immediately after launching them , and the erroneousness message reckon rum to boot . If you have n’t upgraded yet , download the combo updater as an extra caution , instead of using Software Update .
The same Apple quality assurance gurus who oversaw the Lion update probably also signed off onWednesday ’s press release of a Snow Leopard security update ; many users found that the updatebroke Rosetta apps . ( Sort oflike Lion . ) recent Friday , Apple quietly releaseda fixed version of the Snow Leopard update . Bob Barker would be proud .
Of course , folk music with top - pass backups need n’t fret about such woefulness . So now might be a in effect clock time to retrospect how to typeset up Time Machine , if you ’re not using it already . Time Machine is expectant — as in Scott .
Meanwhile , if your installation of OS X is run swimmingly , you might appreciate a few lead on how to get more out of your Mac . It just so happens we had a few up our virtual sleeves this past week : We have a video onusing Arrange By in the Finderto rule filing cabinet faster ; we have advice onfive keyboard shortcuts you should set up right on now — or , at least , as before long as you finish reading the Wrap ; and we can help youremove System Preferences iconsthat you just do n’t care about .
And if you ’ve been sense that your copy of Lion just is n’t quite iOS - like enough , check that you learn outthe late edition of AirPort Utility .
Moving pictures
If the next Scorcese uses an iPad , he ’s in luck : Avid launched an iPad app for editing movies . If Scorcese Junior prefer a Mac , hopefully he ’s ready to move beyond iMovie soon ; if not , he should n’t miss our tip oncreating freeze frames in iMovie ’ 11 .
And this was a big week for Final Cut Pro ; the10.0.3 update to Final Cut Prorestored numerous professional features , and added new ones , too . You get that sense that if Final Cut Pro were itself a motion picture , it would be getting awfully close to the end of its training collage and headed towards thePhiladelphia Museum of Art steps .
Macworld | iWorld | Your World | My World
The Conference Formerly Known as Macworld Expo concluded last week . Macworld ’s editors hosted legion event on the Macworld alive stage ; you canwatch videos of those shows right here . IDG World Expo account thatattendance at this year ’s show remained steady .
We ask two Chrises to analyze this twelvemonth ’s Macworld | iWorld group discussion , and both Mr. Breen andMr . Holtweighed in . Incidentally , if you ’re looking for a detective delegacy , I ca n’t recommend Breen and Holt highly enough .
Apps and downs
And , of trend , we wrote peck about iOS apps . A quick snapshot :
And with that , allow ’s consider this hebdomad wrapped . We ’ll see you next Saturday for another edition of “ Leery Hawk Wept , ” also known as “ The Weekly Wrap . ”
