Ask TUAW: Lotus Notes to iPhone, Time Capsule storage, uninstalling Haxies, and more

by Mat Lu (RSS feed) on Jul 23rd, 2009

Welcome back to Ask TUAW, our weekly Mac troubleshooting Q&A column! This time we've got questions on syncing an iPhone with Lotus Notes, expanding storage on a Time Capsule, preventing iCal event invitation emails, uninstalling Haxies, and more

As always, your suggestions and questions are welcome. Questions for next week should be left in the comments. When asking a question please include which machine you're running and which version of Mac OS X (we'll assume you're running Leopard on an Intel Mac if you don't specify). And now, on to the questions.

Unsanity's ClearDock and Menu Master go Universal

by David Chartier (RSS feed) on Jun 2nd, 2006

Hot on the heels of brining Universal status to their Application Enhancer, Unsanity has released UB versions of ClearDock (free) and Menu Master ($10). ClearDock, as you might glean from the name, is a one-trick pony that can strip the dock of its transparent background or allow you to adjust the background and the application triangle color to your liking. Menu Master is a slick utility for assigning, removing and rearranging shortcuts for menu items in any Mac OS X application. It also has a Menu Accelerator feature which allows you to "access menu items by name without using the mouse". Both applications have received feature additions and improvements, as well as bug fixes along with their UB updates.

ClearDock again is free, while Menu Master has a demo available, and a license will run you $10. Both require the previously mentioned Application Enhancer in order to work their magic on your Mac.

Application Enhancer v2.0 goes Universal, with other enhancements

by David Chartier (RSS feed) on May 31st, 2006

Unsanity has released a Universal Binary version of Application Enhancer, their software preference pane (and set of frameworks) that enables their various handy system hacks and UI additions. Along with Intel Mac compatibility, this update also includes enhancements like:

Redesigned the preference pane to be simpler and more accessible.
Now follows the precedent set by other Mac OS X services and disables itself if the shift key is held down while booting.

While Application Enhancer and some of their products are Intel-friendly, you should check their full compatibility list for details on exactly which apps have made the leap, as some are in a public beta testing phase.

Application Enhancer is free and available from Unsanity's website.

TransparentDock 2 updated for 10.4.5

by David Chartier (RSS feed) on Feb 20th, 2006

TransparentDock 2, the handy donationware/shareware utility for (you guessed it) manipulating the Mac OS X Dock, has been updated to version 2.3.7 to make it compatible with the recently released 10.4.5 upgrade. This new version doesn't do anything spectacular; it simply allows you to make your 10.4.5 Dock transparent, amongst other things.
Basic functionality is free, while a suggested (but flexible) registration price of $8 will unlock some extra features and get rid of the nag screen. As always, I highly recommend you donate at least a few dollars to show your appreciation and to help keep handy utilities like this alive.
