Mac 101: Where'd my send button go?


More Mac 101, TUAW's series for beginners. My mom called me up last week with this question about Mail: "Where did my send button go?"

Turns out she had mistakenly clicked the white chiclet (pictured) in the upper-right hand corner of her message's compose window, hiding her toolbar. When she clicked it once, Mail remembered her settings and hid the toolbar for other message windows, too.

So, just clicking that chiclet showed the toolbar again, and brought her send button back. Magic.

Also, you can hold down command and click the same chiclet to show and hide icons and text labels in the toolbar. Repeatedly clicking with the command key held down cycles through all your options.

Now that my mom is happily sending emails again, I can sleep well knowing all about the new Bob's Big Boy and the local woman who was on Survivor.

iSticky offers notes with reminders, sending via Bonjour, more


Sticky notes are great, but sticky notes that can have reminder alarms, be sent to other Macs via Bonjour, sent over the web and SMS, archived and more - are better. If any of these features have your inner nerd excited, then check out iSticky - a sticky note app on steroids. Also on the feature list are themes, categories, encryption, document linking and more.

While we don't think iSticky is Universal yet (at least, the author isn't bragging about it on the site), a demo is available. iSticky also offers a wide range of licenses depending on which features you need and whether you need a family/business pack. Prices run from $16 USD (single license, Bonjour sending but not over the web) up to $90 USD for a 12 license pack with all the toppings. Check it out if Apple's Stickies just aren't cutting it for you anymore.

Airfoil v2.0.3 adds changing sources on the fly, menubar preference, more

Airfoil, the handy application for sending any audio to an AirPort Express, has been updated to version 2.0.3 for Mac OS X (remember, it's also available for Windows now). This new version adds the ability to swap audio sources on the fly, as well as a menubar option if you'd rather the app not take up dock space.

Airfoil is a Universal Binary with a demo available (that overlays noise after 10 minutes until you register), while a license from Rogue Amoeba costs $25.

Widget Watch: Another SMS Widget

DashboardDavid over at our sibling blog, DownloadSquad, really likes this SMS widget he found, because "it can send messages to Cingular, Sprint, Verizon, T-Mobile, Nextel, Virgin Mobile, Alltel, and Qwest in the USA, and they're testing T-Mobile in Germany. What's even better is the widget integrates with Address Book, and once you choose a contact (or enter a number) and choose their carrier - the widget remembers!" Now, this isn't by any means the first SMS widget, but it looks pretty cool.

Nevertheless, the question still remains: why not just send the SMS from iChat (at least if you live in North America)?
