A Few Mac OS X Tips

jellyAppleFormatting EXFat Disks
When formatting a disk in EXfat with the Mac, I found that format is only compatible with windows if you use the “Master Boot Record” setting.

Fonts Needed for Word Compatibility with Pages
Calibri font and Cambria are downloaded as a mac install from this web site: http://www.rmtweb.co.uk/calibri-and-cambria-fonts-for-mac

Adding Keyboard Shortcuts for Sub Menu Items
Later versions you can use “->” phrase to enter sub menu items.  An example is “File->Export To->PDF…” for pages to have short for create PDF. The older versions of the operating system used just the “-“ hyphen character.

Adding Keyboard Shortcuts for  Apple Symbol Menu Items
This can still be used on application by application basis. Just consider it as root menu item, example “Location->Automatic”.

Creating Image Preview Icons for .FLV and Other Files
Alternatively, if you have Homebrew installed, you can install using Homebrew Cask:
brew cask install qlvideo
