Ask TUAW: Automounting a network drive, iPhone flash memory, XMP photo metadata and more

by Mat Lu (RSS feed) on Sep 19th, 2007

Last week's Ask TUAW prompted an avalanche of questions, so we're going to have to pace ourselves. For this episode we'll tackle questions about auto-mounting a network drive, sending email across an internet sharing Mac, wearing out iPhone flash, using Adobe XMP photo metadata in Windows and OS X, monitoring bandwidth usage and more.

We'll get to more questions in the near future, but please leave suggestions and new questions in the comments.

iStat menus 1.1 released

by Mat Lu (RSS feed) on Sep 4th, 2007



We last discussed iStat menus back in June and now the Australian company iSlayer has pushed out version 1.1, adding a variety of new features. Most important perhaps is the re-designed preference pane interface and calendar. There are also a variety of new graphs and breakdowns, as well as some a new sources and some Leopard-only features and improvements. While I've always been a fan of MenuMeters and MenuCalendarClock for similar functionality, iStat menus looks very intriguing, especially given the large number of possible data sources it can monitor.

iStat menus remains a free download from iSlayer.

MenuMeters Update

by C.K. Sample, III (RSS feed) on May 27th, 2005

menumetersLaurie covered MenuMeters as part of Freeware February back in . . . er, February, but the other day, someone in the comments to one of my posts asked what the little graph and arrow thingy was in my menu bar, and I neglected to answer.

Fortuitously for that TUAW-reader and commenter, the recent update yesterday of MenuMeters reminded me of the comment and gave me the opportunity to post about it here. MenuMeters version 1.2.1 is freely available under a GNU General Public License, and is a very useful tool for monitoring your system's behavior. Think Activity Monitor meets menu bar.

MenuMeters can display a CPU Meter, Memory Meter, Disk Activity Meter, and Net Meter in your menu bar with more detailed information via drop down menu. You can customize which meters you want displayed via the MenuMeters Preference Pane which is installed in your System Preferences.  I've included a picture of the Memory Meter along with this post.
