Wake up your MacBook with Lid Closed

I recently bought the new unibody MacBook Pro 15″ – an absolute beauty – and so I am finally posting up tips that are relevant to MacBooks and not Macs such as the iMac. :D
MBP -> me // iMac -> brother

- Close your MacBook.
- Aim Apple Remote at MacBook.
- Press any button.
- MacBook should wake up.

Very useful if you have an extra monitor that your MacBook is hooked up to. But as you probably just realized – you no longer have a keyboard and mouse -_-”

Desktop Shortcut

expose-spaces

Command + Expose = Show Desktop

For me command + F3 does the same thing that a “Show Desktop” shortcut would do.

Save the Trees!

CONTROL + ALT/OPTION + COMMAND + 8

Just do it! What’s the worst that can happen? ~ hehe

Creativity @ Flashden

I just can’t help but acclaim the creativity @ flashden (look for link to the left, deposit and you can support me!)

Creative Clock

Perfect example of the creativity you can be inspired from.

Mac Desktop Shortcut

I knew going back to Windows Vista would give me many Mac tips to post! :D

First thing I realized I was missing is the shortcut for “Desktop” whenever you have a save dialog box. Instead of opening up the list of options, you can just press COMMAND+D.

Try it out.

Dock Hide/Unhide Haiku

A Haiku for how to hide/unhide your dock. Clear up some wasted space but know that sometimes having the dock is more efficient for your work.

Big screens are better.
Be efficient with screen space.
Alt, Command, and D.

Spotlight Hotkey

Mac OS X – Spotlight hotkey is, by default, command + space bar (apple/command + space bar).

My Posts Are…

My Posts are so short-winded nowadays. Sorry about that.

Anyway, if you’re on a Mac (duh?) go to System Preferences then Sharing. There are some interesting things there.

:D

If you enable file sharing, you can share files (duh?) with other Macs on the network just by looking for the host computer (with all the cool files) in Finder, under the “Sharing” category on the left sidebar. I hope that was clear….if not, figure it out yourself, drop me a comment, or email me (check About page)

If you enable screen sharing, you are basically setting up a VNC server (I think) so that devices such as other computers (cool) and iPhones (eveeeen cooler) can connect to your computer, see your screen, do all kinds of crazy stuff.
