Alright, I’ve had enough. When­ever I open an .tor­rent file, Opera auto­mat­i­cally opens, and not Trans­mis­sion. So how do I change a file’s default application?

First, find that file (in my case, a .tor­rent file) and right click (or con­trol + click) it. Select “Get Info” from the menu.

From this menu, click the tri­ange beside the “Open With” pane to reveal the default appli­ca­tion switcher.
Select your app from the drop down menu (I want Trans­mis­sion) and then click “Change All“
Voila! Close the win­dow!
Note: Oh, and if you only want that sin­gle file to open in that pro­gram, and all the rest to still stay in the other type, don’t click “Change All”. Just close the window.

If you’ve ever removed & replaced a hard drive from a com­puter, then wanted to trans­fer the data from the old HD, chances are you’ve had to use a spare exter­nal USB or FireWire drive enclo­sure to hook the removed HD to your computer.

No more!

Brando’s USB to SATA/IDE cable con­nects all 2.5″ and 3.5″ IDE and SATA dri­ves (even opti­cal ones!) to your com­puter.

I don’t have one (yet), but the reviews I’ve read look upon it quite favourably. Brando sells it for $35, but you can find it at other places for around $15. Hey, my birthday’s com­ing up in November!

Kendra asks,“How do I eject a CD or DVD on my Mac when press­ing the eject but­ton doesn’t work?“

This is a great ques­tion that I myself had to search apple sup­port for the answer when I first had this prob­lem on my first mac. Espe­cially when you think that a stuck disc is going to mean send­ing your machine in for repair. Firstly, remem­ber old CD and DVD dri­ves from those PC com­put­ers you used to use and how when I disc wouldn’t eject you would grab a paper clip and bend it straight to press on that magic man­ual eject but­ton? Don’t try that on a mac, cause you will search for­ever and never find such a but­ton. In fact you might dam­age some­thing. The solu­tion is eas­ier than it might seem.

In gen­eral a CD or DVD can be ejected on a Mac (Mac­Book or Mac­Book Pro) using the phys­i­cal eject but­ton or from the finder with­out any prob­lems, but occa­sion­ally this don’t work and the disc icon might dis­ap­pear from your Desk­top and you can’t get the disc out of your com­puter. How­ever, there is a trick you can try to extract the stuck disc.

  • Restart your Mac
  • After you hear the startup chime, press and hold your track­pad button
  • After a minute or so and you think noth­ing is gonna hap­pen the disc ejects
  • Release the but­ton once the disc ejects

99% of the time this will work. The other 1% has a more advance solu­tion that I won’t pub­lish. So if it doesn’t work for you. Just con­tact us and we’ll walk you through it.
