    Modern Mac Synchronization with ChronoSync

    ChronoSync is one of those tools that’s been in the Mac community for a long time (rightfully so). It’s been a little while since I got the chance to really tinker around with ChronoSync so I thought I’d do a little article on what I got to find during my tinkerations. To get started with ChronoSync, go to their website at http://www.econtechnologies.com/chronosync/overview.html. Next, we’re going to walk through the most basic of setups (and you can get all kinds of complicated from there if you’d like!). Once you’ve downloaded, ChronoSync, run the installer from the disk image that was downloaded. Then walk through the installer, basically following the defaults (unless you’d like to…

    Use Bushel With OS X Upgrades

    Upgrading to a new Operating System can be a pain. Apple continues to make the process easier and easier, especially from Mavericks to Yosemite. For the most part, you go to the App Store, choose to install the new Operating System and then click on the buttons that are highlighted until the process to upgrade to OS X Yosemite is complete.

  • Final Cut Server,  Mac OS X

    Completely Reinstall Final Cut In OS X

    I’ve seen a few instances where an upgrade caused Final Cut to run kinda’ strangely. To resolve, I’ve just been doing a quick reinstall of Final Cut. To do so: First move the Final Cut application to the trash (it’s in the /Applications folder). From your home folder, go to ~/Library/Application Support and move the Final Cut folder in there into the trash. From Library/Preferences in your home folder, put com.apple.FinalCut.plist, com.apple.FinalCut.LSSharedFileList and com.apple.FinalCut.UserDestinations.plist in the trash. Finally, trash com.apple.FinalCut directory from ~/Library/Caches. Once done, go back to the Mac App Store and reinstall Final Cut and open it. Those folders you just tossed out will get re-created.
