Apple keeps updating the Mac system and those applications for Mac OS X like Safari and iLife. And to update your Mac, you can use the Software Update service provided by your Mac:

Go to the top menu bar on the Mac’s desktop, click the Apple logo and choose Software Update from the pop-up menu.

Then you will get a window which shows the progress of searching new software. It will take several minutes to run. And if there are some new versions of Mac apps available, it’ll take much longer for download and installation. And some Mac app may require you to restart your Mac in the updating task, so it’s recommended for you to do nothing but only run Software Update on your Mac if it’s possible. And of course you can cancel the task if you’re in the middles of something.

Generally speaking, the Software Update runs automatically once a week by default. And you are able to change the frequency or turn off the service if you’d like to. To reset the Software Update, you can go to System Preference: click the Apple logo on the top menu bar and choose System Preference, then click on the Software Update icon:

Change the frequency

In the Software Update panel, go to the Scheduled Check tab, check “Check for updates” and then customize the frequency from daily, weekly and monthly. And you can also uncheck the box to disable the automatically checking service.

And in Mac OS X Lion, if you find the settings are dimmed like the image below:

You can click the lock in the left corner at the bottom of the window,

Enter your password.

If you wanna perform a check for the software updates, you can click “Check Now”. It’s as same as clicking Software Update under the Apple logo section on the top menu bar of your desktop.

After the check, if there were new versions for your Mac apps, you will get the notice:

You can directly click “continue” to install the updates or click “Show Details” to get more info about the software updates. And you can select or deselect the new versions of your apps to install.

On the System Preference of your Mac, you can adjust the settings for all sorts of systemwide service including keyboard, mission control, system language and more. And here you can find some tips for the app:

To clean up System Preference, you can hide those app icons which you seldom access. (Currently only available on Mac OS X Lion)

Head to the Apple icon on the menu bar, click the Apple logo and choose System Preference,

Go to the System Preference menu on the top and under the View section, select Customize… Or you can click and hold on the Show All button at the header of the System Preference window, then you will get a drop down menu where you can choose Customize… at the bottom of the menu.

Now you will see some checkboxes next to the available apps in the System Preference window. You can uncheck any preference you don’t wanna preserve. After that, click Done in the header, or you can also go to the View menu on the top menu bar and deselect Customize.

If you wanna restore the hidden preference panels, head to the top menu bar and click View menu, then you will see a list of all preferences, you can click the icon of that preference to access to, or in the System preference window, click and hold the Show All button and choose Customize, recheck the preference. Click Done.

Mac OS X 10.7 Lion has a new feature that it has the ability to make all applications resume their last states. It means that the application will save and redisplay all the windows and data you used at last. No doubt it’s a great function for some applications or when you’re in certain situations. But if you dislike the feature and want to delete saved application states from resume, the following tip is right for you.

This tip is very simple, showing you how to selectively delete saved application states to your liking. Deleting saved app states is just temporary and only affects the late app state.

How to selectively delete resumes saved application States in Mac OS X Lion
The tip is to access ~/Library/, a folder hidden by default in Mac OS X Lion. Below are steps:
1. Go to ~/Library/Saved Application State/. You can easily do this using “Command+Shift+G”.
2. You will see a list, showing all of the saved app states with its own names like com.apple.finder.savedState and com.apple.mail.savedState.
3. Just delete the folder related to the application whose late state you don’t want to save.

Remember that this is just a temporary solution, as I mentioned above. Mac OS X 10.7 will regenerate these files upon each of them launches. Of course, you have another option to completely make saved app states disabled. But most people find the above solution enough useful for them.

You need to remove saved app states from resume in Lion frequently?
If you find you need to do this very often, you’d better create an alias on the desktop for the “Saved Application State” item so that you can rapidly delete these your unwanted saved app states every time.

Of course, if you find some apps give you the options to natively disable this “Resume” feature, the changes are no doubt good for you. Or what I teach you is absolutely viable solution.

If you usually take photos or record videos with an iOS device, you might have learned that you can’t get photos or videos back into the Camera Roll again, once you have deleted them after an iPhoto import. Because the Camera Roll is one-way street. However fortunately, I have a viable way to help you recovery images or videos on iPad Camera Roll. The way is to use the Camera Connector Kit.

At the first place, you might want to sync these media files on your iPad Camera Roll to iTunes or iPhoto for management or preservation. But sometimes, you just want to put these media files back onto your iPad so that you can share them with your family or friends better. At this time, you can follow the below method.

Before doing this, make sure your iPad runs iOS 4.3 or later, no matter what model it is. Then you need an Apple iPad Camera Connection Kit and a SD card or some type of USB 2.0-based digital camera. The kit includes adapters for both purposes.

Now, the tick is below: The iPad which is plugged into the Camera Connection Kit can recognize any compatible media you copy to a properly-formatted storage device containing a “DCIM” (short for “Digital Camera IMages”) folder.

And the steps are as follows:
1. Mount the camera media on Mac simply, browse to the DCIM folder via the “Finder”, copy your photos (.jpg) or videos (.mov) into it.

2. Eject the camera or SD card from your Mac, connect with the Camera Connector Kit adapter, and then plug it into your iPad. At this moment, the Photo app will run automatically. And then you’ll see a window which displays the just-copied media.

3. Choose “Import All” option to get everything (including photos and videos) back into your Camera Roll. When all media files are imported perfectly, you can unplug the Camera Connector Kit.

Now, you’ll find your media files have amazingly been back into your Camera Roll again, as shown below:

Sadly, this method is only available for iPad, for the Camera Connector Kit is compatible with iPhone and iPod touch etc.

If you are fond of  listening to or watching podcasts, you are very likely to launch iTunes and enables it to download these interesting episodes of all the various podcast shows you’ve subscribed whenever you are free. Yes, during the downloading process, these episodes are listed in the iTunes’ Downloads Windows. However, after that you’ve downloaded them,  they are added to iTunes Library, where thousands of files are displayed. Trying to find the speicific one you need? Uh-oh, no, you have to bury yourself in these files! Aha, you do not have to do that by following the steps below. Here we go.

Option one, filter the content that   should be displayed on your iTunes. Launch iTunes, go to “File”>”New Smart Playlist”, then set the criteria for the plist. Here is what I do: Date Added>is in the last>1>day; Genre>is>podcast and check “Live updating”. In this condition, I can find the latest podcasts I need everyday. Of course, you can change the arrangement according to your needs. Say, if you downloaded the podcast yesterday and was not free to listen to it until today, you can set the date limit to “is in the last>2>days”. Taken as a whole, you can add some other terms to filter the podcasts from the filler. (This method works on both Windows and Mac OS X )

Option two, if you are a windows user, one click and a type could get it done. Press the shortcut: Windows key+F  to enter the search interface in Windows. Then you need to type the words  in the search box: datemodified:today kind:=(video OR music). Of course, by using the method you might do not like to get the satisfied result. To ensure the result is what you need, you can  further limit this search to your podcasts folder to prevent any other music files from showing up in the search results.

Haha, if you have some fantastic podcasts, you can consider uploading them to the Internet for sharing. Share for fun. Share wonderful digital life.
