Too bad and sad Wallpaper Junkie has been discontinued! Due to InterfaceLIFT ban Wallpaper Junkie to crawl its beautiful wallpaper.

Wallpaper Junkie is an easy to use GUI tool to download and set wallpaper on Mac OS (featuring WallFlow and ListFlow like iTunes cover flow). You have choice to ‘View’, ‘Quick Download’ or ‘Full Download’ over 2000 most beautiful wallpapers.

Where Download Free Beautiful Wallpaper?

Lastest Wallpaper Junkie version 3.04 compatible with Mac OS X 10.6 or later. But it is now crash on my Macbook when starting-up. Probably it was totally ban from interfaceLIFT server.

Of course we still can download those nice wallpaper on interfaceLIFT but I much prefer a GUI tool. Hopefully interfaceLIFT come out a tool for us and make our life easier!

We never convert our music to WMA music format, but somehow downloaded music still have. iTunes Mac not able to add WMA files into music library (maybe copyright issue?). Anyway there is a workaround to bypass the music format compatibility issue:

1. Install Flip4Mac Windows Media component, then your QuickTime manage to play WMA files.
2. Open WMA music file in QuickTime, then click File > Save As > Movie format.
3. Add converted music in .MOV format into iTunes Library. (more…)

I have use Macbook for almost a month. Most of the regular use Windows softwares can get a replacement in Mac OS X, except two: Microsoft Access and Library Resource (a 3rd party software).

In order to use the softwares, I have no choice but to install VirtualBox with Windows 7 and run on to of it. It is like a dream to run Windows application on Mac OS X.

Yesterday when surfing the Internet, found a free software that allow Mac OS X (Unix-like OS) to run Windows applications – WINE. In fact, I have used WINE some years ago on Linux, but don’t know can run on Mac OS too! (more…)

It is painful when my Macbook can’t play AVI, WMV movie files. In fact, there are more files format cannot be play by QuickTime (Mac) by default. FLV, MKV, DivX and Xvid to name a few.

Why QuickTime can’t play? It only plays AVI files that both audio and video were compressed using a codec that QuickTime can use. You may find video with NO sound even you can play them. That’s really annoying experience.

Fortunately I’m able to resolve the problem and enjoy downloaded movies. Share 3 solutions with you. Hope it helps!

Solution 1. Flip4Mac

Flip4Mac is an official Windows Media Components designed for QuickTime. You can play Windows Media files (.wma and .wmv) directly in QuickTime Player and view Windows Media content on the Internet using a Web browser.

Most importantly, it is provided free of charge! Download Flip4Mac here. (more…)

I have transferred iTunes library from PC to Macbook to make use of the loud and clear speaker. The transfer process was not difficult but takes time during copy gigs of data.

Before transfer iTunes library, I first transfer actual music and application files to Macbook via network. You may choose to burn CDs, DVDs, thumb drive or portable hard drive too. Once copied over, you are now ready for the migration.
