OS-X Tutorial (4 of 4) - Discovering Automator!

[jbbres]

Nice Tutorial. I'm using Action(s) which seems a little bit similar on Windows and Mac. Are the elements in Automator compatible with it?

[neese27]

amazing. thanks. you totally broke everything down.

[michaelx8]

to batch rename files in windows is REALLY simple - 1 select them all (left click and select all the items) 2 right click 3 select "re-name" from the drop down 4 enter teh name you want.....windows will use that name then append 01 02 03 at the end of it. I love windows and mac BTW

[intheredletters]

Cool! I had no idea. Thanks.

Automator "pretty complicated"? Have you seen the function Watch me do?

[yeah3652]

iim trying to get watch me do to record my mouse but all it does is go some where i didnt click . help please?

[YTMrVulcan]

I don't use a Mac, so I'm not the one to ask. You might want to check CNET TV.

oh and btw the second part about the ipod and album you took that almost word for word of another thing i saw...like a apple tutorial video or something haha it works tho

[fiveightandten]

91greigm- Thanks for the reply. 2 things though:

1) Dry humor...it's kind of my thing. Either you get it or you don't.

2) I don't plagiarize. You probably watched another one of my videos. I tend to repeat myself.

[91greigm]

fair comments..i probably did watch another one of your movies i have no idea, i just know ive herd it before.

[fiveightandten]

cheers...and thanks again for watching dude.

[91greigm]

dont sound so enthusiastic..but none the less thanks for the video

[iamVERYrandom]

The Finder is far superior to Windows Explorer =]

Cool video, I have used a similar app for Windows for years. It uses macro automation similar to the macros for Word and Excel. Nice that it is included in OS X.

[thebird135]

[fiveightandten]

[Synestesis]

Thank you very much. I have a Mac for a year and a half and with shame must I admit, that I didn't bother using Automator at all, thinking it was geek stuff. How on earth could I have been so... well stupid.

[mfaw23]

Thanks...hmmm I have been underutilized my mac ........

[maximus0032]

[Pianomankw]

omg that is so cool!!!! I've heard some stuff about Applescript.....I have absolutly no idea of what it really does...but supposedly it's really cool.....can you explain this??

[BeatnikBeat58]

Great job!!! Just switched to a MacBook and I also use Picture Project that came with my Nikon digital camera. Renaming all those files was a pain. Thanks for the tip on how to do that with Automator. Very cool!

Hey do you think you may be able to do a video on like iLife and/or Garage Band and/or just keep posting more and more tutorials the more you learn

[fiveightandten]

Sure...I did a few on iLife tonight for you. There are videos in my collection for iTunes, iPhoto, and Garage Band. I'll do one up on iMovie and iDVD as well.
