During Mac Power Users episode 6, I talked about my Magic install disk. I’ve had lots of inquiries about exactly how I did it so here it is. This episode demonstrates how to create an external drive with all of your application installations using the built in OS X Disk Utility application and Noodlesoft.com’s Hazel. Enjoy.
By the way, an amazing thing is happening over on iTunes. I’m starting to get comments and ratings. Thanks everyone for taking the time. If you haven’t yet, please do so. These screencasts are quite a bit of work and I’d like to see them get a bit wider distribution. Ratings and comments help that. Thanks.
NoiseNinja Screencast
I reviewed the NoiseNinja Aperture plug in just a little while ago. This week I was pleased to see the folks at PictureCode posted their very own NoiseNinja screencast. Check it out.

I just published my longest screencast yet. This one weighs in at 32 minutes and covers email management from top to bottom including such subjects as:
1. Pop v. iMap
2. Gmail v. MobileMe
3. Best Practices (managing your inbox and smart folders)
4. Spam
5. Archiving old mail
I put a lot of work into this one and I hope it is helpful. As usual, it is in Apple TV format. So what are you waiting for? Head over to my iTunes feed and download it.
Stepping Up the Screencasts
Recently, I’ve been getting a lot of email questions about some of my productivity hacks. It has inspired me to try and step things up with the screencasts. I’m now tooling up to release a series of productivity themed screencasts. The first two installments will be:
1. Email
All things email – IMAP vs. POP, dealing with Spam, archiving, best practices, plug-ins, and my filing system.
2. OmniFocus
My particular OmniFocus tips, tricks, and tweaks.
I’ve got a few other ideas but the above two are going to keep me busy for some time. Let me know if there is anything in particular you would like covered in the above two shows or if you have any other ideas for screencasts. I’m looking forward to putting these together.
Screencast 14 – OS X Toolbar Customization
I just published screencast #14 which explains how to customize the toolbars in your OS X applications. This screencast was inspired by my sister, Alisa and her pal Karen, who are brand new switchers and told me they understood very little of the ramblings here at Macsparky. So this screencast is aimed at the beginner and should help the listeners understand how to customize their toolbars in a variety of OS X applications. You can download it directly right here.

I’ve been without a machine capable of doing video for about a month but now with the shiny new MacBook Pro, the screencasting machine is warming up again. This is a short one about the various ways to take screen shots in OS X. Enjoy!

Screencast 12 – The OS X Dock
This screencast goes back to basics and explains usage and customization of the OS X dock along with a very nice little terminal command to give you a recent applications/recent documents icon in your dock.
I want to give special thanks to my friend Don McAllister, the godfather of Macintosh screencasting. Don showed pity on me and gave me some excellent screen resolution advice that helped make this new format look even better.
You can download it in iTunes or at the Libsyn Feed Right Here.

After a bit of a hiatus, I’ve got the screencast train rolling again. I rebuilt the opening graphics, moved the hosting to libsyn, and I’m now publishing in Apple TV format. Finally, I’ve been able to ramp up the production values a bit with ScreenFlow.
This short screencast walks you through the process of setting up a smart playlist in iTunes that will allow you to sync 50 of your favorite songs to your iPod that you haven’t listened to in the last month. The smart playlist automatically updates itself so every time you plug in, you get new music.
You can get it through iTunes or right here.
