[Trailer for Members Show] It's well established that Solid State Drives offer incredible performance over traditional hard drives. Cool running and with no moving parts, an SSD drive can significantly boost any computers performance, turning your previously adequate laptop or desktop machine into a screaming powerhouse. Add in silent running, low heat generation and increased reliability, SSDs can make an enormous difference to your day to day computing experience. SSDs are now becoming mainstream with major manufacturers and vendors supplying SSDs in standard 2.5" drive enclosures for simple installation in to a variety of machines. Apple has been installing SSDs in the MAcBook Air since its launch and now has build to order SSD options for the MacBook Pro. The performance benefits of SSDs do come at a price, however. The higher capacity SSDs are expensive with 256GB SSDS commanding a price of $600 to $800 but these prices will fall significantly over the next year or two. This weeks show introduces you to SSDs and explores several options on how you could utilise an SSD in your laptop, cost effectively. If you can afford the higher capacity SSDs, great, but I take a look at how you might utilise a smaller, and consequently cheaper, SSD to gain performance increases, yet enable you to break free from the constraints of a lower capacity drive. In summary, this weeks Extra members show covers: Preparing to replace your Hard Drive Backing up to a Voyager Q Docking Station Replacing a SATA drive with an SSD Drive in a MacBook Pro Installing an SSD Drive in a Mac Pro with MaxConnect Removing your Optical Drive Adding a second Drive to a Laptop with MCE Optibay Moving Your Home Directory to a secondary Drive This weeks show includes live video taking you through all the stages of installing an SSD drive and replacing your MacBook Pro optical drive with an MCETech Optibay to add a second drive to your laptop. The technique illustrated in this weeks show is to replace your standard high capacity standard drive with a smaller SSD drive to act as a fast boot drive. Using the OptiBay, it's possible to then remove your usually under utilised optical drive, and re-install your standard drive as a secondary drive for your data. The show also includes detailed instructions for moving your Home directory to the secondary drive, so space is not a problem. The MCE OptiBay also allows you to use standard drives for various RAID options, or booting multiple operating systems as discussed in the show.

[Full Free Show] At last! LaunchBar 5 is at full release status and I've been able to a show about it! Well not just one show, I've got so much to cover, I've had to split it across two shows (at least). The developers of LaunchBar 5 are supporting ScreenCastsOnline by sponsoring the free version of this weeks show. It's no secret that LaunchBar has been one of my favourite applications, probably from since I first started on the Mac. At it's core, LaunchBar is an application launcher but to call it just an application launcher does it a disservice. Objective Developments, the developers of LaunchBar have been increasing the functionality with each release, adding not just cool but stunningly useful features. The bottom line is that the application very quickly becomes an indispensable tool once you've started using it for even just a few hours. LaunchBar 5 creates an index of all the "stuff" on your Mac - Applications, files, folders, documents, preference panes, web bookmarks, Web history, your iTunes library, your address book, your iPhoto library and much more. It allows you to create abbreviations to search and access all this "stuff" without moving your hands from the keyboard, making it so much more efficient that picking up your mouse and clicking all over the screen. Add in some extra features such as the built in actions and my favourite - integration with webs services and web search templates, you'll wonder how you ever did without it Although I've explored LaunchBar before in previous shows, for this show I thought I'd start from scratch, so you don't need to dig out the old shows. In this week's show I cover: Introduction & Installation Initial Configuration LaunchBar 5 Basics Launching Applications Instant Open Opening Recent Documents Using Address Book Data in LB5 Skype Integration Working with Files in LB5 Accessing Websites via LB5 Using Web Search Templates Searching and Accessing Bookmarks & Web History The next free show will take a look at some of the other new features of LaunchBar 5

As promised, here is an audio clip with the announcements about forthcoming changes to the show.

[Trailer for Extra Members Show] Time for a MacMontage show! This week it's a mixture of a few hacks and mods, a great free Safari plugin in and a "behind the scenes" glimpse of how we handle email here at ScreenCastsOnline. In detail. the show covers: Copying and Pasting Email Addresses - Snow Leopard has changed the default behaviour so I point to a terminal command that set things back the way they should be! Modifying Grid View in iTunes 9 - Lots of complaints about the white background on the Grid view in the latest version of iTunes. How to reset it to a darker colour. Hidden Keyboard Shortcuts - Some pretty neat keyboard shortcuts to allow you to control your audio plus access some system preference panes directly ClickTo Flash - At last, a way to tame the beast that is Flash! A free Safari plugin that allows you to control what Flash content is displayed as you browse the interwebs. Cut down the distractions, stop your CPU from revving up and keep the heat down on your laptop. This great plugin also allows you control over YouTube, letting you default to H.264 formatted content and even download YouTube videos to your Mac in H.264 format for direct use in iTunes. Email Tools and Processes - This section covers how I've adapted my email workflow to allow for the sharing of the ScreenCastsOnline mailbox with Mrs Don, and demonstrates how I pass emails on for further processing using a combination of automated and manual rules processing. I also include a rather smart utility from eCamm which allows you to have multiple badges on your email dock icon to keep track of the contents of multiple mailboxes - Dockstar. There's even a 35% discount coupon included!

The final part of Things, this time, Things for iPhone and iPod touch. Things is an outstanding task management application from Cultured Code. In previous shows I've taken a look at Things for the Mac but in this weeks show, I take a look at the iPhone application. Although Things for the iPhone has almost all the features of Things for the Mac, and will fully synchronise with its Mac counterpart, it's a fully featured task management application in its own right, capable of running completely independently. In this weeks show, I explore the features of the application and the mobile interface. I also take a look at synchronising Things for iPhone with Things for Mac.

[Trailer for Extra Members Show] Following on from my previous Snow Leopard overview shows, I've kept the best for last! As promised, this week, I finally get around to looking at Services in Snow Leopard, a brand new implemenation and a technology you can take advantage of immediately. As well as the new context sensitive architecture that Apple have introduced, they've also made services both supremely useful yet easy to master by anybody. No longer requiring programming skills, anyone can muster up a service to speed up their workflow via Automator. In this weeks show I cover: ◦ Introduction to Services ◦ Creating & Customising Services ◦ Four sample services from scratch ◦ Movie - Open in Quicktime 7 ◦ Images - Create PDF Book ◦ Text - Append Text to TextEdit ◦ Dropbox - Copy to Public Folder ◦ Resources on the Web ◦ Service Workflow Files - Locations Please note that if you're receiving this notification via the ScreenCastsOnline email notification service, the link inserted below is for access to the free version (or trailer) of this show.
