MacBook Pro :: How To Get MultiClutch To Work With ITunes?
Aug 25, 2009
I'm referring to the app by William Henderson MultiClutch [URL]. It doesn't work for Carbon apps. It wont work for Finder and iTunes.
HOWEVER, I found a way for both, partially.
Finder: When you turn on your computer just do Command-I on any finder window and then close it and multiclutch will start working
iTunes: just go to help, open help, close it and it starts working. BUTTT if you close iTunes and open it again, it does again, and I have to repeat the open help and close. This is annoying.
Any fixes for this? Also will this problem be solved in 10.6 since the Finder is written in Cocoa?
I installed MultiClutch several Times on my MBA. It just won't work. I added applications like Firefox or iTunes, then I chose gesture and key command.
I restarted the application, nothing happend. Also, I tried it with global gestures, same here.
Multitouch is working where it has to (iPhoto, Safari ... ). So what else can I try to fix it? It is a great thing to wirte such a programm, but on my MBA it is not working.
I have been waiting to get a MBP for about 2 months now and I finally got one. One of the first apps I made sure to get was Multiclutch. This is easily the sickest app on the MBP.
In case anyone doesnt know, multiclutch extends the multitouch feature on the trackpads on new MBPs and MBA.
Extends is really too small a word though, because before, the gestures dont do a damn thing. Any way, a little tinkering around with multiclutch and I think I pretty much have the lay of the land.
First thing is first- global applications: these are your bread and butter in multiclutch. set up some good ones that will help u with anything. some that are good are:
swipe down -cmd-H -hides current window zoom out -cmd-Q -quits current application and I like Rotate left -cmd-W - closes current window- ill get more into that one in a minute.
these should get u started and used to multiclutch and most importantly global gestures will affect programs that wouldnt usually be affected by multiclutch such as carbon apps (itunes and finder especially).
IMPORTANT: if you try to put gestures in itunes or any other carbon app remember to reset the shortcut for the global apps and the app will be able to use some gestures again
next most important application for gestures: firefox- or your browser of choice. These ones work great and really streamline the browsing experience. im still toying with these a little but the ones i have now are:
rotate right -cmd-T- new tab rotate left -cmd-W -this and the global app with the same function for the same gesture really work great together. in firefox cmd-W will close ur current tab and in global it will close ur current window- really intuitive and helpful zoom in -cmd-shift-T -opens ur most recently closed tab-good for when u accidentally rotate left swipe right- cmd ] - forward swipe left -cmd [ -back -saves a lot of time
obviously these firefox ones are not completely ideal because it would be nice to switch tabs when u want to as well, but the other gestures dont really work for switch tab, and the goal is really to make the gestures something simple and obvious.
that said i am tinkering with moving back to swipe up and then just having left right be for switching -so far its not really working because the combo for previous tab is set to the same button combo as the little app switcher thingie.
anyway clearly more work needs to be put in, but i just got my MBP a few days ago, so im constantly trying out new gestures for different actions.
If anyone has any gestures they think are good please share them, or if anyone thinks they know some better ones than the ones i point out.
just installed SL on my rev B MBAir SSD...everything seems to be running smoothly (after re-activating coolbook) except for multiclutch...Multiclutch works in several applications (ie VLC), but doesn't work in several others (ie Safari)....is anyone else having this issue?
I installed MultiClutch on my Mac. Now I am wondering how to use it so that when I open multiple tabs in Firefox, I can 3-finger swipe to switch between them.
I need help with Multiclutch. How can I find out what the keyboard commands are for things I want to do? I know that some of them show up in the menus at the top, but not everything does, or at least I am not seeing it.
The one I am specifically looking for right now is switching between tabs in Firefox. What key combo would I use for that? Another one I am looking for is undo close tab.
Are there any other key combos you can think of that might not be obvious, but might be something someone would want to know about?
I am a new macbook pro owner.I migrated all my data over from a pc. Now my itunes won't work. The message says "itunes.library.itl" was created on a newer version download itunes now.The software update program says that my itunes is up to date.
I opened iTunes and all my music, apps, and podcasts were not listed. I plugged in my iPhone 4 and still nothing. I logged out and back in still nothing.
In order to retrieve art work through iTunes , I am required to have an account. Am I charged for getting the album artwork? Also, am I correct in assuming that downloading the album art work will use iPod resources and result in a smaller album/music capacity?
Upon opening iTunes this morning, it took upon itself the job of "importing" something from I have no clue, labeled my library as "damaged", created a new one that had most of my stuff missing with no playlists, and now I can't import an old library or open any sort of iTunes library from anywhere.iTunes is version 10.6.1 (7)Is it some sort of version of iTunes that I can't run on OS 10.5? I'm waiting for the fall rollout to get a new machine, there is no reason to update my OS, it does everything I need now.I have a Time Machine backup. Do I need to download a completely new copy of iTunes and then try to restore out of Time Machine? Has Apple updated iTunes into yet another version that has no added value to me, yet I have to cope with all the advertising trash loaded into it (read: Genius, Ping)? How do I get my library back along with a version of iTunes that works?
I have an updated Macbook Pro and I cannot get my volume in itunes to work..i get sound on the computer threw youtube so i know the volume works. Its just iTunes.
Home Sharing sounds simple enough. Has anyone got this to work? I have searched for documentation on how to set this up and Apple has only made a video mentioning how to do this. It is vague though and doesn't explain the context for set up. http://www.apple.com/itunes/how-to/#video-started
For example. Does Home Sharing only work with one account? What if I have an iTunes account and my Wife has an account, does one of us lose all of our content when we share? You are supposed to be able to transfer content among all local shares. What happens next? Do I need to authorize each file to work on another computer/iPhone/Touch? I have not gone all the way with setting up Home Sharing as I don't want to go down a long path and be stuck at the end.
Evidently through automatic upgrades my iTunes has upgraded itself to version 7.7.1 - I just tried to open it and got a pop up window telling me that in order to use iTunes I need OS 10.4.9 (I have 10.4.6). How could it have downloaded for an OS that it won't work with? I don't feel like shelling out the bucks for the OS upgrade, and when I tried to install an older version of iTunes, I got another pop up window telling me I couldn't because a newer version was already installed. I'm afraid that if I dump the newer one I'll lose all my tunes.
After trying out the new iTunes DJ function with my iPhone I could not get it to work has any body else tryed using this new feature? If so what are your experiences? I updated the remote app on my phone yesterday, surely that is the correct version.
I try to backup all my tracks purchased on iTunes, but the Back Up button does not work (see image). When I press it, nothing happens. Same for the Cancel button. iTunes does not 'hang' though, because I can close the dialog with the cross mark in the upper right corner, and I can choose other combinations in the dialog (which I do not really want). Does anybody have the same issue? I'm using Windows XP (SP3) with the latest version of iTunes (9.0.1.8). I am able to burn DVD's using other software so that should not be the problem.
when downloading a podcast from within iTunes, I don't get the cover art in iTunes (when viewing in Cover Flow, for example). When I download on my iPad and iPhone, the cover comes up fine.
This is happening on both of my system, Mac Pro and MacBook Pro both early 2008.
I'm running the latest version of iTunes, and recently I noticed that when I press "Get album artwork" it only updates it in the artists grid view. Once I click the artist to see the album, it isn't updated, until I restart iTunes completely. I tried to re install it, but nothing worked.
i just downloaded a video clip on itunes tonight the 1st of April 2012, Lil Wayne, Bed Rock with Young Money and it stops alone at 1mn08. I bought it 1,79€ but i do not mind about the price, i just want to watch it and be able to get it!
