How to Remove Broken or Dead Tracks from iTunes

0 comments


My iTunes XML database recently got corrupted and it seemed I had lost all my many hours worth of song ratings. Luckily I was able to re-construct the database through an few month old backup and my iPod. In doing so, my entire iTunes library was duplicated with broken links. Since iTunes does not currently allow you to sort by the broken (’!’ icon), it’s a laborious, manual process to remove all these track listings.

That was until I found this ingenious process somewhere on the Apple forums:

1. Make a smart playlist called “All Files” with this rule: “Artist” is not “123456789″ (or any nonsense name that won’t be in your library).

2. Make a static playlist called “All Live Files”.

3. Make a smart playlist called “Missing Files” with these rules: Match all of the following rules, Playlist is “All Files”, Playlist is not “All Live Files”

4. Select all the files from “All Files” and drag them into “All Live Files”. The dead files marked (!) will not copy over.

5. “Missing Files” will contain all of your dead files. Select all and delete. Voila, a nice clean iTunes library.

I have these three playlists in their own folder. Whenever I gather more than a couple dead tracks for whatever reason, I delete all the tracks in “All Live Files” and repeat steps 4 and 5.

How to Delete a file from a playlist:

Windows: SHIFT + DEL
Mac: OPTION + DEL


iTunes 9

0 comments


Hot on the heels Last week apple has announcement itunes 9, and it looks awesome I've tested it on my PC windows it has some cool new features.

User Interface

Apple's design decisions often make their first (or only) appearances in iTunes - and there's certainly some interesting choices in iTunes 9. The main window has a new gradient - slightly lighter than before - that also makes the window look a little unusual when inactive. There's also some new Play / Skip / Rewind buttons that protrude from the UI chrome a little more than before - as well as a heavily emphasised Search box.

Paint.NET 3.36

0 comments
 
 Paint.NET is free image editing and photo manipulation software designed to be used on computers that run Windows. It supports layers, unlimited undo, special effects, and a wide variety of useful and powerful tools. It started development as an undergraduate college senior design project mentored by Microsoft, and is currently being maintained by some of the alumni that originally worked on it. Originally intended as a free replacement for the MS Paint software that comes with Windows, it has grown into a powerful yet simple tool for photo and image editing.
The programming language used to create Paint.NET is C#, with a small amount of C++ for installation and shell-integration related functionality. Paint.NET can be used to enhance and clean up your photographs. Using the Clone Stamp tool, the power lines that criss-crossed in front of the Space Needle were carefully removed.

Other operations were performed that had the effect of smoothing out the image without blurring it, adding some "bloom" (glow), and increasing the contrast.


FEATURES:
Simple, intuitive user interface
Every feature and user interface element was designed to be immediately intuitive and quickly learnable without assistance. It is also designed to be immediately familiar to users of the original MS Paint software that comes with Windows.

Layers
Usually only found on expensive or complicated professional software, layers form the basis for a rich image composition experience. You may think of them as a stack of transparency slides that, when viewed together at the same time, form one image.

Powerful Tools
Paint.NET includes simple tools for drawing shapes, including an easy-to-use curve tool for drawing splines or Bezier curves. The Gradient tool, new for 3.0, has been cited as a huge improvement over similar tools provided by other software. The facilities for creating and working with selections is powerful, yet still simple enough to be picked up quickly. Other powerful tools include the Magic Wand for selecting regions of similar color, and the Clone Stamp for copying or erasing portions of an image. There is also a simple text editor, a tool for zooming, and a Recolor tool.

Unlimited History
Everybody makes mistakes, and everybody changes their mind. To accommodate this, every action you perform on an image is recorded in the History window and may be undone. Once you've undone an action, you can also redo it. The length of the history is only limited by available disk space.

Special Effects
Many special effects are included for perfecting your images. Everything from blurring, sharpening, red-eye removal, distortion, noise, and embossing are included. Also included is our unique 3D Rotate/Zoom effect that makes it very easy to add perspective and tilting.
Adjustments are also included which help you tweak an image's brightness, contrast, hue, saturation, curves, and levels. You can also convert an image to black and white, or sepia-toned.

 

Download Firefox 3.5.3 and Firefox 3.0.14

Starting yesterday 9,Sep,09 Mozilla Released the New update of there Brilliant open source Internet Browser I've Installed the Update & trust me it's looks great & it's working very well actually I hated the previous version, I've faced a lot of Bugs especially with the Extentions they were always not working & it says they are "Not Compatible" WTF... But Lately I've read a useful Post on Lifehacker, turn off compatibility checking in new releases of Firefox so that our old extensions will work with the new release even though they haven't specifically been updated for it.

But u know what
I kept my self using Firefox cuz I knew they'll Fix it cuz they're the Best We just hopping that Mozilla that is speeding up Firefox and improving it sometimes out-of-control memory use but I think this New version looks working with less Memory Usage I hope So, this next Picture shows us the Memory usages in Previous Version WTH.

 Mozilla has confirmed that users currently running Firefox 3.0.14 will be bumped to version 3.5.3. It appears that all users of 3.0.14 will receive a Major Update Offer to Firefox 3.5.3. In addition, those running 3.0.14 will be able to make the jump to 3.5.3 just by using the “Check for updates” option. According to Mozilla, all users of previous versions of Firefox will be served a major update offer around September 30th, 2009. 

   “Starting with the upcoming releases of Firefox 3.5.3 and Firefox 3.0.14, Mozilla will warn users if their version of the popular Adobe Flash Player plugin is out of date. Old versions of plugins can cause crashes and other stability problems, and can also be a significant security risk. For now our focus is on the Adobe Flash Player both because of its popularity and because some studies have shown that as many as 80% of users currently have an out of date version,” Mike Beltzner, director of Firefox at Mozilla Corporation, stated. 

Firefox 3.5.3 and Firefox 3.0.14 for Windows are available for download here.  
Firefox 3.5.3 for Linux is available for download here.
Firefox 3.0.14 for Linux is available for download here

WizMouse: scroll a window without making it active

0 comments
Window Only: Here is an interesting utility for us insane multitaskers out there. WizMouse is a software which allows you to scroll a window without making it active. You simply have to place your mouse over the inactive window you want to scroll and use your scroll wheel to scroll. Simple as that.
So now the million dollar question is "why would I want to do this". Well for people like me that often have multiple windows side by side this makes it a lot easier to scroll them all than having to click on each window before we scroll it. Or if you use special effects to make windows transparent, you may be able to use this to scroll through and view windows while having them all maximized (in theory... never tried this latter suggestion).
Whatever you may use this for, WizMouse is just one of those niceities that make your user experience that much more smooth. Unfortunately, however, I should point out WizMouse only enables you to scroll the inactive window with your mouse wheel... trying to use arrow keys or page up/down will still scroll the active window. The good thing, though, is if your mouse supports horizontal scrolling in addition to vertical, WizMouse will allow you to do both.
You may download WizMouse from the following link:
***WizMouse works on Windows 2000/XP/Vista/7

The Best Way to arrange, resize your Windows

0 comments
Windows 7 already provides several handy keyboard shortcuts for moving and resizing application windows and of course that what I'm enjoying using it right now. If you're running an older version or want a more exhaustive set of commands at your fingertips, take a look at WinLayout.

The free, open source application is built on top of AutoHotkey and adds some serious arrangement kung fu your under-loved numeric keypad.

For its basic moves, WinLayout slices your screen up into a 3x3 grid (think tic-tac-toe board). Hold the Windows key and tap the corresponding key to send an app to that spot on the grid - 7 = top left, 5=center, 3=bottom right, etc.

Windows can also be resized and moved in single-pixel increments. Word of warning: not surprisingly, some commands do interfere with those built in to Windows 7.
