That’s the problem with these linux people. They think the Mac is all about eye candy and whiz-bang effects. So they go ahead and make Compiz and Beryl with it’s windows that catch flames and ****. And then they think they have ‘pwnd’ the mac. - goobi

I for one like the new avatar. If I remember correctly, wasn't your avatar when you first got your MBP, well, that of a MBP?
Yes, it was. That does not apply this time though.

Here's where you could begin.
Are you sure that's a MacBook Pro? Because I don't think the Apple logo is as big as the Media Temple logo on that thing, with respect to the size of the notebook. Plus, can you make anodised aluminium so shiny?

Has anyone here bought an iTunes Gift Card from eBay.in? Can it be trusted?

I had to put it into UFD mode. It WILL not work if you try to restore while in recovery mode. And as of now, I am typing this on my iPod touch

Where did I write that! I know I did, but I forgot which post i replied to....

Well they might have just cut out a little more of the screen. The apple logo is after all just a translucent material that lets the display backlit show through. Must be a hell of a lot of work to do that though :)

The (mt) thingy is actually a custom corporate made-to-order job.

Just thought I'd do this one. For kicks.

To delete tracks:
From a playlist:
"Delete"

From a playlist as well as library:
⌘+Option+Delete

When the dialog box appears to delete a file:
Cancel (⌘+C) | Keep File (⌘+K) | Move to Trash (⌘+M)

If you are command+Tabbing your way through, and you reach iTunes but the main window is closed:
⌘+Option+1

Fullscreen Coverflow:
Most know about this feature but rarely use it. Try it out. Just as a habit hit ⌘+F while in iTunes. Just make sure your album art is of a good resolution though.

To search:
Cmd+F brings up the fullscreen coverflow. The only way I have found is to tab. And I've always found it to be not more than two tabs away.

To make only one track play:
If you are playing a track but want iTunes to stop playing after that track: Just search for gibberish in the search bar so that nothing is shown in the window. After the track is completed playing, iTunes will stop.

To make two tracks play:
If you want just two tracks to play, and you have already started playing the first one. ⌘+Click the "checkmark" button to unselect all tracks. Then check the current and next track. Don't do this if you have random tracks unchecked in your library.

To add audiobooks:
You will find that even if you set the genre of an AAC file to "Audiobook" it still doesn't list in the audiobooks section. What you need to do is, open the file in Finder, rename the AAC file from .m4a to .m4b and then reimport it into iTunes. It will automatically go to Audiobooks.

These are all out of my head. I would be grateful if someone would correct me in any of these.

(Note: For those wondering what those "?" marks are, they are the character "Command" which should show on a Mac or Safari for windows)

Thanks for the second tip! I've wanted to delete tracks from a playlist as well as the library many times and it was always very frustrating. :)
