digg_url = 'http://downloadsquad.switched.com/2007/11/23/freeware-solution-to-sync-your-mac-with-a-windows-mobile-device/';One of the more frustrating aspects of being a Mac owner is trying to sync with a Windows Mobile device (shockingly, not all Mac owners have - or even want - an iPhone, some of us like our Smartphones). It's definitely possible, either through virtualization or using a ...

Earlier this week we previewed Bento, the new personal database application by FileMaker. Today we take a look at another Leopard-only Mac application aimed at keeping your files organized and easy to find: Together 2.0. Together, previously known as Keep it Together (KIT), is a pretty slick application from Reinvented Software that promises an easy way to keep all kinds of files in one place, ...

Less than three weeks after making its debut, Leopard, also known as OS X 10.5, has received it's first incremental update. 10.5.1, available via Apple's Software Update or via Apple's web site. The update addresses a number of issues, most notably in the areas of networking and Internet security. Here's a quick run-down of some of our own problems in Leopard, that have been addressed in this ...

Apple has just released the newest version of the Final Cut Express: Final Cut Express 4. The program touts similar featureset upgrades as NLE big bro, Final Cut Studio 2.0, including AVCHD support (for Intel Macs only) and the Open Format Timeline. With the Open Format Timeline, users can edit both HD (in either 720p or 1080i) and SD footage within the same project -- and in realtime -- without ...

One of the great things about the Eee PC is that, unlike a $400 PDA or phone, the $400 laptop is a full fledged computer that just happens to weigh less than 2 pounds. And while Asus went through a lot of work to load a customized Linux interface onto the Eee PC, the company also made it pretty easy to slap your own operating system on there. In fact, the Eee PC ships with instructions for wiping ...

FileMaker, Inc. a company best known for the cross-platform database app, FileMaker Pro, has just released a public preview of Bento, their new personal database program for Leopard users -- which to quote the press release -- "[is] as easy to use as your Mac." The program, which is expected to ship early next year, is available as a free, full-functioning time-limited Preview (it expires in ...

Leopard may indeed be a hit, what with selling 2 million copies its first weekend, but it's still a new OS release and is certainly not without glitches. For many users (including a few of us here at Download Squad), one of the most frustrating bugs is Leopard's incompatibility, in any web browser, scripts which use the FileReference.upload() function. What does this mean? Well it means that ...

Apple appears to have changed its stance on virtualization... a little. The licensing agreement for OS X 10.4 strictly reads that you can only run Tiger on a single "Apple-labeled computer." And while the license for the desktop version of OS X 10.5 Leopard states the same restriction, Apple'se license for the server version of Leopard holds a little surprise. You still need to buy a separate ...

Apple today announced that it has sold 2 million copies of OS X 10.5 since launching Leopard on Friday. Who knew there were 2 million Mac users out there? Just kidding. No, seriously. That figure includes copies of the OS sold through retail stores, Apple's online store, and copies delivered as part of maintenance agreements. The bigger question is if this is a sort of blockbuster release. ...

Once upon a time trying to install OS X on a PC was like trying to squeeze blood from a turnip. The operating system just wasn't designed to run on Intel processors. But now that Apple is releasing Intel-based Macs, you can install Windows on a Mac, and with a little bit of hard work and license-breaking, you can install OS X 10.5 on a PC with an Intel processor. Don't expect everything to work ...

Leopard, Gmail, IMAP, Facebook, and Digg. If you know what at least four out of five of these things are, you can probably skip the rest of this article. If not, it's time to catch up on some of what you've missed this week. That's right, it's time for another fabulous edition of Download Squad's Week in Review. Gmail Gets IMAP Some people have been waiting for years for one thing: IMAP support in ...

When Apple said they were going to redesign the Finder, we though, oh, we've heard that before. But with Quick Look and Cover Flow, Leopard introduces the most significant upgrades to the Finder since the 10.1 to 10.2 transition. One of the most time-consuming aspects of using the finder is previewing files. If you're thumbing through a folder looking for a file you need, and the only way to ...

After having a peek at Apple's new guided Quicktime tour of Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard, we're convinced that Time Machine alone is worth the upgrade price. Time Machine is Apple's new backup and recovery software, but it's actually quite a bit more than that. The program makes use of external storage devices (like, say, a USB 2.0 hard disk) to create backups of your entire file system. You can later ...

Mozilla has released Firefox 2.0.0.8. The big news is that the latest version of the web browser is compatible with Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard. But there are also security updates for Windows and Linux users. Oh yeah, and there's a long list of known issues for the Mac version. (There are known issues for Windows, Linux, and Unix too, but most of those issues are easily fixable). Here are just a ...

If you've been sitting on the edge of your seat waiting for Apple to release the next version of OS X, sit back down before you fall off your set. Oh yeah, and OS X 10.5 (also known as Leopard) will ship on Oct 26th. New features include: Quick Look, a new feature that lets you see the contents of a file without opening said file Stacks, a new way to access files from the Dock Time ...
