Tip 5. Album Art

This is just a simple reminder following our drunken album art adventure.

1. First off, in iTunes try right clicking on the album and selecting "Get Album Artwork".

2. If that fails find a decent picture of the artwork you want (Google Images is always a good bet).

3. Once you have the desired image on the page, press cmd, shift and 4 together.

4. Drag the crosshairs over the image and when you release the mouse the image will be saved to your desktop.

5. After launching iTunes select "Get Info" on the album you want to update, drag the image into the artwork portion of the window and drop it when you see the plus sign appear.

6. Sit back and marvel at the newly updated "Communards Greatest Hits" album artwork.

Tip 3. Right-Clicking

It didn't occur to me the other day when I asked you to right-click on something how silly that might sound. After all, if you don't really use a mouse and your on a mac with a trackpad that looks like one big button what the hell does right click mean?

Right-clicking gives you a few options that you wouldn't normally have. For example, if you are on the web and you hover your mouse over a picture (most pictures will allow you to do this), by right-clicking you will have a little pop up menu appear when you can select to either save the picture, set it as a background, open it in a new tab or many other options. This also works on links on web pages and files on you desktop or in finder.

So to right-click on your macbook you just hover your mouse over something and press (not tap) the bottom right hand corner of the trackpad once. Below is a fantastic picture of me, fill your boots and right-click away.

Remember, different things will have different right-click options and these are often the things you'll have to go hunting through the menus for. So get used to right-clicking and save yourself some time.
