Sound Flower captures OS sounds, but not browser's audio

I was trying to capture audio of a webinar and Quicktime was capturing the OS audio as expected, but for whatever reason it was not picking up the audio from Firefox.  I decided that maybe it was a browser thing and I was right.  Logged in to the webinar with Safari and it worked perfectly.

Download Sound Flower before trying to record.

Download, install, and then open.  Once open, you will have a little icon at the top of the screen.  Select Sound Flower 2 Channel, Built In Output.

Open Quicktime

File -> New Screen Recording

On the upside down triangle, select Sound Flower 2 Channel

Start Recording!

How do I rotate my screen on an external monitor in OS X

  1. Open the system preferences
  2. Hold down the command and option keys while clicking the display icon
  3. Next locate the screen adjustments on the external monitor and you will notice now there is an option called "Rotation".
  4. Choose 90 Degrees and now your monitor is in portrait mode.
*A this can also be a funny prank on someone by doing this to their main monitor!

How to Install OS X Lion/Mountain Lion from a USB Drive

First you have to purchase it from the App Store.

Locate the the Lion app in the Application Folder (Did notice that I already had it downloaded previously and moved it to my desktop. It actually updated the Lion App on the my desktop and did not show up in my Applications Folder, just an FYI)

Right click and click "Show Package Contents" Go to Contents -> SharedSupport

You'll find a file named "InstallESD.dmg"

Open Disk Utility

Plug in the Thumb Drive. Once it shows up on the left hand side click the Top Level for that thumb drive. You'll know your on the right level if you see the Partition tab on the right hand side.

Click Partitions and select 1 Partition.

Select Mac OS Extended (Journaled) as the Format

You can name it whatever you want.
Click Options -> Select GUID Partition Table

Hit Apply (This will erase anything on the drive)

Click the restore tab

Click the Image button and select the "InstallESD.dmg"

Drag the thumb drive partition on the left to the Destination box. This is the 2nd level down.

Click restore

Once completed, reboot and hold the option key.

Select the thumb drive called Mac OS X

You can let go once you see the Apple Logo
