i just got my iMac and i`m testing and looking for some useful apps and widgets!I have founded some useful widgets and free apps but i coudn`t find the one i really need yet.I look for a countdown timer / chronometer for my guitar practice sessions.I read something about minutes but coudn`t download it from the developer site.

iMac (21.5-inch Mid 2011), Mac OS X (10.7.2)
I'm looking for an app that will display on my finder bar which simply has a countdown that displays: days - hours - minutes..(and seconds if possible.)
View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm looking for something to help me prepare for the LSAT. Ideally I would like it to countdown from 35 minute minutes with a warning at the 5 minute mark -- something that will do multiple timers at once would work, but having a built in "warn" function would be great.

Is there one out there that anyone knows of?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI'm creating several movies that will play before a church service begins. Usually we just buy countdown videos, but this time I thought I'd get creative and make some. There is always a countdown timer that starts at 5:00 and counts down to 0. This way people know when the service is going to start, from 5 minutes out. I have been searching and searching and cannot find any way to overlay a countdown timer in iMovie HD or iMovie '08 (I have both).
Can someone suggest something? I don't want just a countdown movie, it has to be only in the corner or something. I want to use some footage of driving to church, make it fast forward so it finishes in exactly 5 minutes, and have a countdown timer display overtop of that in a corner. I've tried using the Slick 5 Gallery for iMovie, but they just have countdown movies, not overlay. Also, the Labels & Overlays from stupendous software has a timer, but it only counts up.
Not using a TV I often fall asleep with my Mac still running. Do you know a good app/dashboard widget that I can use to set a time for it to shutdown automatically?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI am trying to figure out how to make a movie or series of screen captures that are timed less frequently than QuickTime Player's Screen Recorder Feature. Basically, I want a screen capture every second or two, so I can go back and see what I did during the day. The Screen Recorder would fill up my hard disc very quickly. When I click on the menu item that is the name of the current application, go down to Services and then click on Service Preferences, I see something called Capture Screen using Timer: I can't figure out how to use it. I created a keyboard shortcut, as you can see, but when I try to use it, nothing happens. Is there any documentation for this service anywhere?

My day in history widget has become invisible when I open up the dashboard.. Invisible but not gone because when I click in the icon in the list at the bottom of the page it sort of semi appears on the page but disappears with an effect like ripples in a pond (,which is in it's self a fantastic effect) The cross is still there in the top right corner though.
Any ideas as to what I have cocked up now
Using a MacBook Pro with Retina display, I am unable to resize the Dictionary widget. On my previous MacBook Pro (2008, running OSX 10.6.8), you could grab the lower right corner of the Dictionary panel and drag it to expand the window.
With Lion, grabbing doesn't do anything, so I'm stuck with a tiny Dictionary window that requires scrolling to see more than a few lines.

Where did the calendar widget go??? I can't seem to open it????

I have upgraded to Lion and all the latest software upgrades and suddenly my text and icons are way too small. I'd like to increase the size of my widget icons and do not know how?

View 5 Replies View RelatedI am on a MacBook Pro and am encountering problems after the last Java upgrade on Lion. My dock will not appear when I rollover - so I have set it to show all of the time. I clicked on my widget icon to use the calculator, and nothing loaded. I was stuck on the screen and had to hard restart.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI am looking for an iMac application, which is a timer of all sorts, in that I need something that can open and close applications at particular times.
I have been trying to find online sites that tell how to do this, but have not found any resources.
So how can I insert a timer into an applescript dialog?
I've tried finding Xcode examples of this, but no luck.
I'm trying to play a new track on a playlist every 30 seconds. Thought I'd play around with AppleScript. Here's what I've got: on run {input, parameters} (* Your script goes here *) tell application "iTunes" play track 1 of playlist "Night" end tell repeat 10 times delay 30 tell application "iTunes" next track end tell end repeat return inputend run This sort of works, but not until the 4th track on the playlist. It seems to play the first three for a few seconds, but passes over them very quickly (not 30 seconds).
View 5 Replies View RelatedI have skype going, I pay for both a skype in and out number, and I want it to go to voicemail even if I am online.
Right now, it just rings and rings and never goes to voicemail unless I decline the call or shut down the application. Which means if I am not there to answer, it just rings and never goes to voicemail.
On the skype website, it says to go to "Tools > options > calls > voicemail" to set the number of seconds before it goes to voicemail.... but that option doesn't exist in the OS X skype client!
When I try to start my new iMac, the apple symbol appears with the timer and doesn't do anything else. Been through the manual trying all suggestions in there, new with apple macs - 2 weeks old and a start-up problem? Not impressed!!

I can't download any widgets from apple's dashboard widget download page.I click on the "download" button of a selected widget, and it immediately takes me to the homepage of all apple downloads without doing anything.I've tried on safari & firefox, but the same thing happens.I just bought this computer the other day, so I'm running the latest versions of everything.

saw a song "La Rana Brincona" sung by The Countdown Kids for sale in iTunes. This song belongs to Cántaro. It is blatant piracy and illegal, how can iTunes promote/allow that?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have 4 weather widgets (the standard one that came with OS X). And after a restart, some of them have gone up a bit, or down. So as you can imagine with 4 of them, it can get unorganized if I don't move them back to their original positions.

Does anyone know if there is a Fantasy Football Widget?
Just looking for something that would display my players and their stats for the week, NFL game scores.
I have just set up my new iBook with (wireless) internet and am playing around with the widgets, including the BBC radio one. However this isn't working, the display appears to have two blue boxes with question marks on them, and there is no sound. What should I do?
