iPod Touch & The Sync of Doom

May 16th, 2008 | Category: IT, OS X

For some reason my iPod Touch wouldn’t sync to my iMac.  Frustrated the hell out of me.  The thing works just fine.  Just never showed up in iTunes.  I figured it couldn’t be anything all that crazy.  Just a setting in a plist.  So off to google I went.

Didn’t really find much help.  So I reinstalled iTunes and suddenly for the first time in three weeks my iPod synced.  Guess one of the iTunes updates borked something.

Need a New Default Monitor?

April 07th, 2008 | Category: IT, OS X

At work I use a monitor.  For the longest time I just used a 19" turned on it’s side to get a longer perspective.  This was fine to keep off to the left for using vi or just monitoring stuff.  Well today I get back from my work trip out east and I have a brand new unclaimed 22" wide screen monitor.  You better believe I’m gonna use this puppy.  Then I realized I wanted to make this my primary monitor and not use the macbook pro’s screen like I have been doing for about two years now.

Well after a bit of clicking around I finally figured it out.  Not that it was hard, but I figured someone could use the help.  When you’re in your monitor settings under arrangement.  Just click the white "title" bar and drag it over to the screen you want to use as your primary.  Man, that made me rather happy.
