Perian - Playing Videos On Your Mac
Having problems getting videos to work on your mac despite having Quicktime installed? Then you need to install this free Quicktime add on component.

Described by the developers as the Swiss Army Knife for Quicktime it supports other popular video formats such as DivX, AVI, FLV & H.264 to name just a few giving full functionality to Quicktime for video viewing.

Once installed Perian's preferences can be found in your Macs main preference panel.

I highly recommend installing this app. It's one of the first on my list when I start a fresh with a new machine.

How To Load Fonts On A Mac

 

 

Your Mac has two font folders. One in your user account library folder and the other in your hard drive library folder. Not sure what the difference is? Well read on, this should explain it all for you.

 

There are a couple of ways to load new fonts onto your Mac and also a couple of locations in which to load your fonts. One being adding fonts to your Mac system allowing them to be accessed by all users and the second is adding them to your user account allowing them to be accessed only by you. Both of which I'll go through here in this quick lesson.

 

Method One - Install Mac Fonts for All User Accounts

 

System Fonts 

 

You'll find your Mac's system fonts in your HD > Library Folder > Font Folder.

Fonts in this folder are accessible by all user accounts on your mac and to add fonts simple drag fonts into this Font folder and they're added. Nothing more, that's it.
