iTunes and Safari tweaks from upgraded Versions

Apple’s latest versions of iTunes and Safari (8.1 and 4 Beta respectively) offer new features, but for some people it was longing the way things were. There were no fans for default settings or interface elements in the recent version.

The release of ‘Safari 4 Beta’ brought some changes in the interface to Apple’s browser and also included new tabs interface. But unfortunately, people weren’t the fans of new interface elements. ‘Safari 4 Beta’ provides quick access to fourteen hidden settings. There are some significant settings that you can change by yourself and they are:

• Tabs on Top – when it is unchecked it moves the tabs to Safari 3 position and then restores title bar.
• ‘Use new load progress style’ – if you have disabled ‘Toolbar Redesign setting’ to restore Safari 3 toolbar, the setting determines the progress indicator that you see.
• Toolbar Redesign – when it is unchecked it restores toolbar to layout of Safari 3 by removing Reload button, Bookmarks within spinning progress indicator and the address field.
• Cover flow in bookmarks – when it is unchecked it disables ‘Cover Flow’.
• Google suggestions – when it is unchecked it disables new drop – down list of search history and suggestions.
• Top site features – when it is unchecked it disables ‘Top Sites feature’.

Every time a new version of Apple iTunes gets introduced, people don’t like a couple of the tweaks such as the behaviour or the appearance.

Some of the other tweaks are showing library play – list, showing genre while browsing, showing arrow links, allowing half – stars in ratings, loading complete store preview before playing, playing songs while converting or importing and creating file names along with track number. Of course, if you have an iPod like the Apple iPod nano 8 GB, then you are practically forced to upgrade, which makes it difficult to reverse any changes later on. Nevertheless, most everything included in the new iTunes version is fairly positive.
