Jing Screen Capture for Mac or Windows

You all should check out this application. It is free right now as it is in development. It is a screen capture (video or image) application from TechSmith, the makers of Camtasia Studio and SnagIt, that makes it very quick and easy to upload and share with others. You can use Screencast.com, Flickr or FTP. I took a screen shot of the Jing logo on the Jing website for this post and uploaded to Flickr and then used Flickr’s “Blog This” feature to post this very quickly.

Here’s the link for Jing.

Did Leopard Security Update Stop Sharing with Older Mac’s?

With Leopard my old G4 tower was showing up in my Shared area of a Finder window and I was able to access the G4 and share it’s screen. Yesterday I noticed that my G4 was no longer showing up in Finder windows? A Windows PC is all that shows up now. The only thing I can think of that might have changed things was the Apple Security update recently released for Leopard Clients and Servers? If Apple disabled this intentionally that is RIDICULOUS!

I can’t update my old G4 to Leopard and I am not going to go out and buy a new computer to share iTunes and backup files to. Has anyone else noticed this? I do want to make sure it wasn’t some other small change that I made.

OK I turned off File Sharing on my G4 and then turned it back on and now I have access again!

Whew I was nervous!

I thought about removing this Blog entry but I will leave it in case it can help someone if they run into this.
