I am giving Marsedit 3.0 a try. I have been using Marsedit for a while now on all my blogs and it’s a great tool.

If you are into photography like I am you will be glad to know that Apple released Aperture 3.0 a couple of days ago.

You can download and try it for free for thirty days.

Have fun!

I am running Google Chrome beta for Mac and I am finding it way faster than Safari. It loads fast and the whole system seems to be running faster as I assume that Google Chrome memory requirements are smaller than Safari’s.

Worth the try even though Google Chrome beta for Mac is still missing features available on its windows counterpart such as bookmarks sync, extensions and full screen browsing.

Very promising and worth a try as competition is always a good thing.

Thanks for the folks at iWebFaq.org I managed to find a solution to the error that was affecting iWeb on my kid’s iMac.

I found a link to the site after searching the issue on Apple’s support discussions’ site and believe or not it looks like the issue is associated with a font and only affects iWeb on Snow Leopard.

In case you are experiencing the same issue then this is what you should do:

1. Go to Applications => Font book
2. Select Hoefler => Ctrl+click on it and “Remove Hoefler Text Family”
3. A message will appear telling you that all Hoefler files will be trashed
4. Emptying trash you will probably be told that the file is in use. Restart your computer and after the restart empty the trash.
5. Click here to download Hoefler text
6. You will find a folder called “11628″. In it you find a file called “Hoefler Text.dfont”
7. Move that file to:
Macintosh HD => Library => Fonts
Start iWeb and you will see that it’s perfectly working.

WhatsApp

In case you are tired of paying for SMS to chat with your iPhone friends then WhatsApp may be the app for you.

WhaydApp is a direct iPhone-2-iPhone messenger chat application that allows you allows you to carry on a conversation in real time with your contacts without having to pay for SMS.

What’s App will ask for your phone number in order to allow it to identify you on your friends’ Contacts database and it does the job well.

Enjoy.

Another day another Mac Problem.

If you configure your Address Book to sync with both Google Contacts and Mobile me then this is what some of your contacts may look like on your Address Book:

Does anybody have a similar problem?

Can’t you sync your address book with Google Contacts and Mobile Me at the same time? Really?

I am having a couple of problems that I am not being able to resolve.

Problem # 1 is that iWeb crashes on my kid’s iMac as soon as we open it.

I ran disk utility and got it to repair permissions but that did not resolve the issue.

Problem # 2 is that I added a contact through the contacts app on my iPhone and despite the fact that I can see it on the iPhone the contact information does not flow to Address Book on my Mac after I sync the iPhone with my Mac via iTunes.

I’ve tried the sync a few times and yes I have all the proper check box marked on iTunes info tab.

Any clues?

I am wondering if I found another couple of bugs or if I am having issues in the interface between the chair and the keyboard.

One of the main complains regarding the iPhone is how long (or not long enough) the battery lasts.

I just downloaded the Battery-O-Meter app that will help you check your battery status very quickly.

The app is elegant, does the work and it is available for free at the app store for limited time.

Enjoy.
