I've found a few cool little apps from this thread.

Great stuff guys!!

few more very nice apps from me:
12) SmartSleep - instant sleep, without waiting for hibernation on lid close. few seconds and it's done
13) Soundflower - the most amazing Virtual Audio Cable i've seen. Allows you to reliably send audio from any application to another one. e.g. recording samples from YouTube to Traktor; sendin Traktor to Ableton; you name it ....

Dustin, I also suggest you to look at the concept of the Aggregated Audio Devices in OS X. Here's a video:

Thanks for all you suggestions loop, but as I said before I still cant watch youtube vids. I've installed the latest flash player but it still wont play embed youtube vids. I tried following you advice you posted earlier but still nothing..

This never happened on a PC...

What you using Safari?

Try Firefox....works for me....using it right now!

Make sure you Mac is up to date by running the Update Program.

you need to run the installer of FLashPlayer and tell it to install in Safari explicitly. Follow the guide in the link above.

You can also try getting it from http://www.apple.com/safari/download/plugins.html

... aaand I still think Chrome is a better option ...

Really?....Its only given me grief. And we sell Google Apps Business where I work....so i am not biased!

LOLOL

For sure man....this is what I have my eye on too!

But I just checked my Mac's plugins and this is what I have and it works.

Thats for Java Embedding.

Hey bru, long time man!

Btw I'll be back in SA end of April.. cant wait! Party time!

Anyway back to business now, lol.. I would think that a browser such as Safari wouldnt have any issues? I'll give Firefox a try though later.

LOLOL

amazing! totally oposite here

I was using FF on OS X, Linux & Windows for years, until like an year ago. FF was only given me grief LOL

. huge memory footprint, frequent CPU pekas and daily crashes. Chrome is working better for me ...

Great that we have a choice for what to use !

LOL

BTW, Java is really essential. Dustin, you can check what java you have by issuing the following command in a "Terminal" app:

Code:

java -version

it should be

Java version "1.6.0_22"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_22-b04-307-10M3261)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 17.1-b03-307, mixed mode)
