Copying files from you iTouch to your Mac

So the first thing that gave me trouble on my new MacBook was getting all the files off my iTouch. It turns out that the iTouch can not be used as a harddrive like my last iPod. I how ever found a free way around this!

1. Download the demo of iPhone drive.
2. You'll notice that you can only see the first 20 songs on your iTouch in the demo, but never fear you can view all files on the harddrive!
3. Select view files and copy iPod_Control/Music to your harddrive.
4. All the mp3 will have funky names (AARD.mp3 etc) so import them to iTunes to have them all nicely named and placed in proper folders.

Installing an app under OSX

This switch is more than a simple OS switch it is a paradigm switch. I had trouble figuring out how to install firefox.

1. Download the DMG file.
2. Click on the file (This does some werid mount thingy)
3. Open finder and drag firefox to applications
4. Enjoy!

Switching to Mac

So today I finally ditched my Dell XPS 1210 and got a sexy little black MacBook. I'll post what troubles me as a switch.

The reason I decided to switch is simple. My dell is a overheating down clocking POS.
