How to capture your Mac's audio for free

Source: http://www.macworld.com/article/2043722/how-to-capture-your-macs-audio-for-free.html

You’ve likely found yourself in this position more than once: Your Mac is playing audio that you’d love a permanent copy of, but the application you’re using doesn’t provide a way to do that. While you could turn to one of the few commercial Mac applications that perform this task, there’s a way to go about it that won’t cost you a nickel. In this Macworld Video I show you how.

Transcript

Today I’m going to show you how to capture sound produced by your Mac for free.

The first thing you need is a copy of Cycling 74’s Soundflower, which you can get from cycling74.com. Install Soundflower and, if asked to, restart your Mac.

Now move to System Preferences, select the Sound preference, and in the Input and Output tabs, select Soundflower (2 channel). Doing this takes the audio playing on your Mac and routes into the Mac’s audio input circuitry, allowing you to then capture it.

To perform the capture, launch QuickTime Player, choose New Audio Recording from the File menu, and in the window that appears, make sure that SoundFlower is selected by clicking on the small triangle. In the Audio area below you have two options—High and Maximum. Both produce an AAC file encoded at 256 kbps. The difference is that High quality records at a resolution of 44.1 kHz and Maximum records at a higher quality of 48 kHz.

One thing you’ll immediately notice as you record is the sound of silence. You see movement in QuickTime’s meters but hear nothing from your Mac’s speakers. And that’s because the Mac’s audio is routed to Soundflower rather than your Mac’s speakers or headphones.

To hear what your Mac is recording, launch Soundflowerbed, which the Soundflower installed places inside the SoundFlower folder now inside your Applications folder. A new menu will appear in the Mac’s menu bar. Click on it and choose the output you’d like to monitor from—headphones jacked into the Mac’s headphone port, for example.

Now go about your capture and when you’re finished, click QuickTime Player’s Stop button. Close the window to name and save it as an audio file. This will save your recording as a 256kbps AAC file.

How to use multiple iPhone, iPad, or iPod devices with one computer

How to use multiple iPhone, iPad, or iPod devices with one computer

Do you want to use more than one iPhone, iPad, or iPod with the same computer? You can. In fact, there are a few ways you can do it.

Create multiple user accounts

Do you share your computer with someone who has different tastes in music and media? You can create separate user accounts for each person who uses the computer. You can maintain separate, personalized iTunes libraries and customize each devices' sync settings accordingly.

Mac OS X users

Learn how to set up other user accounts.

• OS X Mountain Lion v10.8
• OS X Lion v10.7
• Mac OS X v10.6 Snow Leopard

Windows users

Look in your computer's Help documentation to learn how to set up other user accounts. To find this information:

1. Click the Start Menu and click Help or Help and Support.
2. Enter "new user" in the Search field.
3. Press Return.

If you create multiple user accounts on one computer but want the same media to be available in iTunes for all users, you can share music between different accounts on a single computer.

Sync devices to playlists

You may use multiple devices on a computer without creating multiple user accounts. To do this, you can set iTunes to update each device with only certain playlists. This method allows you to put all your music on, for example, your iPod and keep your iPod shuffle updated with only your workout music. Here's how to do this with iTunes:

1. Create new iTunes playlists on Mac and Windows that contain all the music you want to sync to each device.
2. Sync your device.

Note: iTunes for Windows does not support syncing multiple iPod devices at the same time.

Create a separate iTunes library

Create a separate iTunes library for each device. Note: It is important that you make a new iTunes library file. Do not just make a copy of your existing iTunes library file. If iTunes is open, quit it.

1. Mac users: Hold down the Option key while you open iTunes.
   Windows users: Hold down the Shift key while you open iTunes.
2. In the dialog that appears, click Create Library.
3. Name and save the alternate library file. iTunes opens with your new library file.
4. Open iTunes Preferences. Choose iTunes > Preferences (Mac) or Edit > Preferences (Windows).
5. Click the Advanced tab.
6. Deselect the "Copy files to iTunes Media folder when adding to library" checkbox if it is already selected and click OK. This will prevent iTunes from creating duplicates of your existing media files in the new library folder.
   
7. Add the specific media files you want on your device to iTunes either by dragging them into iTunes or choosing File > Add to Library (Mac) or File > Add File to Library or Add Folder to Library (Windows).
8. After you organize the iTunes library, connect and sync your device.
9. After the sync is complete, quit iTunes.
10. Mac users: Hold down the Option key while you open iTunes.
    Windows users: Hold down the Shift key while you open iTunes.
11. Click Choose library.
12. Choose your original iTunes library and click Choose (Mac Users) or Open (Windows Users). You can now switch between the different libraries for different devices.

Additional Information

You can use the above information to sync music, movies, TV shows, podcasts, and other media content. You can also sync contacts and calendars to iPod or to iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch.

Prisão de ventre (constipation) - from lef.org

Fiber treatment for constipation

Most foods contain a mixture of soluble and insoluble fiber. Both are important in treating constipation. Soluble fiber is contained in oats, apples, lentils, barley, breads, and cereals. It is able to mix evenly with water, forming a soft gel. Insoluble fiber is contained in raw wheat bran, other whole grains, fruits and vegetables. It mixes unevenly with water, forming a soft pulp. The body does not absorb soluble or insoluble fiber during digestion. Fiber contributes volume to the stool mass, making it easier for the colon to push and propel larger and softer stools out of the body. Insoluble fiber encourages contraction of the colon.

Both fiber types contribute volume to individual stool masses. A larger mass of stool is easier for the colon to push against and propel, so larger, softer stools are easier to move and pass.

The following supplements may succeed at moving the bowels when regular fiber supplements fail to correct chronic constipation:

Chitosan. Chitosan is a fiber composed of chitin, a component of the shell of shellfish. Chitosan has the ability to bind fat from food in the stomach and the intestines. When fat content in the bowel increases, it makes the feces soft and smooth. If you do not obtain results from other commonly used fiber sources, six 500-milligram (mg) capsules of chitosan along with 1,000 mg of vitamin C before each meal may help alleviate constipation. Ascorbic acid (vitamin C) helps transform chitosan in the stomach and intestine into a fat-absorbing gel. Chitosan should not be used by people who have shellfish allergies.

Glucomannan. Glucomannan is a water-soluble dietary fiber derived from the konjac root (Amorphophallus konjac). Glucomannan is considered a bulk-forming laxative that promotes a larger, bulkier stool (Marsicano 1995). Glucomannan generally helps produce a bowel movement within 12 to 24 hours.

Constipation is frequently encountered during pregnancy. A preparation of lactulose and glucomannan is effective and well-tolerated in pregnant women. Pregnant women with constipation who were treated with a preparation of 3 to 6 g of glucomannan and 8 to 16 g of lactulose twice daily for 1 to 3 months showed a return of normal frequency of evacuations. The formula also helped control weight gain (Signorelli 1996).

In one study, laxative use was significantly reduced in a long-term care facility when an interdisciplinary program was implemented based on prevention and health promotion. Specifically, increased fluid and fiber intake, timely toileting habits, and regular activity or exercise led to a 50 percent reduction in the number of patients receiving laxatives (Benton 1997).
