Sizzling Keys (Free).

SizzlingKeys

Have you ever wished you could control iTunes without leaving your current app? SizzlingKeys lets you do just that - and more - in an intuitive and unobtrusive way.

Control iTunes. Whether it's to pause the player, adjust the volume, skip a track or rate a song, you can do all that and more with simple customizable keystrokes. That's not all. You can even search your iTunes Library or Playlists with a simple keystroke, all without switching to iTunes!


See what's playing. Why bring up iTunes just to see what's playing? SizzlingKeys features a floating window that shows you the current track info. Place it anywhere you wish on the screen by simply dragging it.

Easy setup. Having all the features you can imagine is useless if the app is difficult and confusing to use. That's why we make ease-of-use our top priority. Customizing SizzlingKeys cannot be easier.

Extras. SizzlingKeys even throws in a couple of hot keys for controlling system services like Sleep and Fast User Switching. While these functions have nothing to do with iTunes, they come in extremely handy for many users.

Still not convinced? VersionTracker users rated SizzlingKeys an average of 4.9 stars. SizzlingKeys is free of charge (the $5 Pro edition gives you a few more features, but most functions are available in the free edition). It is easy to install and, in the unlikely case that you don't like it, uninstall.

Carbon Copy Cloner (Free).

In its simplest form, CCC will clone one hard drive to another, copying every single block or file to create an exact replica of your source hard drive. This is very useful if, for example, your laptop is damaged and you must send it in for repair.

CCC can also be used to perform regular backups of your data. When you select a source disk in CCC, you are presented with the contents of that disk (hidden items too). Simply uncheck the items that you do not want to backup, and CCC will provide ample indication what will and will not be copied. Select a target disk to which you would like to backup, then press the clone button.

The key to a successful backup plan is to actually do the backups regularly. When left to a human, the task often gets tacked on to the end of a very long list of other things to do. When you eventually have a catastrophe, the data is simply gone. You know that feeling -- you just lost six years of family photos. Your kids being born, their first birthdays, their first everything. The answer to this is consistent and regular backups, placed on a schedule and handled automatically by your computer. CCC includes that functionality, and takes it even further.
