- Some Overheating 3GS iPhones Glow Pink - Hugh Pickens writes "The Telegraph reports that dozens of users of the recently released iPhone 3GS have reported overheating issues, with some iPhone owners unable to pick up the device because the handset gets so hot to the touch, while others say the casing turns pink with the heat. 'I am definitely experiencing issues with the iPhone running warm and quick battery life lost,' writes Tom Goldstein on one discussion board. 'The phone seems to warm up almost immediately if I am doing anything that pulls data over the network.' Some users have said the device has been too hot to put to their ear while making a phone call, and others say the overheating seems to occur when owners are using the iPhone's mapping software, which uses the handset's built-in GPS technology. Melissa J. Perenson writes at PC World: 'I became aware the handset had become very hot. Very, very hot — not just on the back, but the entire length of the front face, too.' Some gadget experts believe faulty batteries could be the cause of overheating and poor battery life. 'My guess is there's going to be a whole lot of batteries affected because these [iPhones] are from very large production runs,' said Aaron Vronko, who fixes iPods and iPhones. 'If you have a problem in the design of a series of batteries, it's probably going to be spread to tens of thousands [of device], if not hundreds of thousands, and maybe more.'"
- US Gov. Launches Web Site To Track IT Spending - andy1307 writes "Vivek Kundra, the federal chief information officer, announced on Tuesday a new Web site designed to track more than $70 billion in government IT spending, showing all contracts held by major firms within every agency. The (Flash-heavy) site, USAspending.gov, shows detailed information about whether IT contracts are being monitored and budgets being met. The data also show which contracts were won through a competitive process or in a no-bid method (the latter approach is criticized by good-government advocates for excluding firms from business opportunities). Each prime contractor is listed as well as the status of that project; sub-contractors are not yet shown."
- BD+ Resealed Once Again - IamTheRealMike writes "It's been a few months since we last checked in on how the Blu-Ray group was doing in their fight against piracy. In December 2008, a new generation of BD+ programs had stopped both SlySoft AnyDVD HD and the open source effort at Doom9. At the start of January, SlySoft released an update that could handle the new BD+ programs, meaning that Blu-Ray discs could not be decrypted for a period of time about the same length as SlySoft's worst case scenario. The BD+ retaliation was swift, but largely ineffective, consisting of a unique program for every Blu-Ray master. Users had to upload log files to SlySoft for every new movie/region. They would then support that unique variant in their next update, usually released a few days later. Despite that, the open source effort never did manage to progress beyond the Winter 2008 programs and is currently stalled completely; SlySoft is the only group remaining. This situation remained for several months, but starting around the same time as Paramount joined Fox in licensing BD+, a new set of programs came out which have once again made Blu-Ray discs unrippable. There are currently 19 movies that cannot be decrypted. It appears neither side is able to decisively gain the upper hand, but one thing seems clear — only full-time, for-profit professionals are able to consistently beat BD+."
- Jim Zemlin Pitches Linux App Stores For Telcos - angry tapir writes "Mobile carriers may start giving away netbooks for free, and Linux-based application stores could help them profit by doing so, the Linux Foundation's Jim Zemlin argued at a recent forum in Beijing. 'Selling discounted netbooks to users who buy a mobile data subscription would extend a sales strategy widely used for mobile phones. Carriers often sell phones for below retail price and let a user's subscription fees make up for the loss. AT&T already sells subsidized 3G netbooks in the US, and China Mobile has announced similar plans. Carriers worldwide are likely considering the option, which lets them charge for added services like downloads of music, videos and software, said [analyst Jack Gold]. Those downloads could come from platforms like the iPhone App Store that target mainly mobile phones today. Competition could push netbook prices down as more carriers subsidize them, which would make putting Linux on the laptops an attractive way to cut costs, said Zemlin.'"
- Scammers Target Neopets Users - An anonymous reader writes "If you have children that play on the popular virtual world game Neopets, you might want to warn them of a social engineering scam gleefully targeting 12-year-old kids. Neopets users looking for rare items are sent private messages from the scammers, who direct them to sites hosting keyloggers & trojans. They then use the infected PC as a means to get to data the parents might have stored there, be it credit card details, Paypal accounts or online banking. Seeing the screenshots of some of these people talking about putting these children into botnets is just unbelievable — if ever you wanted proof that people up to no good online will go to any lengths to get their hands on some money (or even just feel good about outsmarting a 12-year-old), here it is."

Mobile Phone security - worth doing.
Here is something worth knowing if you have a mobile phone ....
Have you ever wondered why phone companies don't seem interested in trying to prevent the theft of mobile phones? If you have ever lost, or had one stolen, and if you are on a plan, you still have to pay the plan approximately up to 24 months, and you have to buy another handset and enter into another contract. This is more revenue for the phone company.
There is a simple way of making lost or stolen mobiles useless to thieves and the phone companies know about it, but keep it quiet.
To check your mobile phone's serial number, key in the following on your phone:
star-hash-zero-six-hash ( * # 0 6 # )
and a fifteen digit code will appear on the screen. This is unique to your handset. Write it down and keep it safe. Should your mobile phone get stolen, you can phone your service provider and give them this code. They will then be able to block your handset, so even if the thief changes the sim card, your phone will be totally useless.
You probably won't get your phone back, but at lease you know that whoever stole it can't use / sell it either.
If everybody did this, there would be no point in stealing mobile phones.

- Adding an Audio Track to a QuickTime Movie
Apple has provided this handy support article:
You can easily add audio and other tracks to a QuickTime movie.
To add an audio track to a movie:
In QuickTime Player, choose File > Open File and select the audio file you want to import.
In the QuickTime Player window that opens, choose Edit > Select All to select the entire audio file, then choose Edit > Copy.
Open the movie to which you want to add the audio.
To add the audio to the whole movie, choose Edit > Add. To add the audio to a part of the movie, select a part and choose Edit > �Add to Selection and Scale�.
�Add to Selection and Scale� slows down or speeds up the audio track to fit the length of the selected part of the movie; the pitch remains the same (when you play the movie in QuickTime Player). You could add video to sound instead, and speed up or slow down the video to match the audio. You might have better results if you compare the timelines of the two tracks and cut from one or the other until they have the same duration.

- Share Any Attached Printer or Fax With Other Macs on Your Network
The print sharing capabilities in the Mac OS make it easy to share printers and fax machines among all of the Macs on your local network. Sharing printers or fax machines is a great way to save money on hardware; it can also help you keep your home office (or the rest of your home) from getting buried in electronic clutter.
Enable Printer Sharing
1. Click the 'System Preferences' icon in the Dock
2. Click the 'Sharing' icon in the Internet & Network section of the System Preferences window.
3. Place a check mark in the �Printer Sharing� box to enable printer sharing.
How easy was that? Now all of the Mac users on your local network can use any of the printers and fax machines that are connected to your Mac. If you're using OS X 10.5 or later, you can select the printers or faxes you want to make available, rather than make them all available.
OS X 10.5 (Leopard) Print Sharing
1. Follow the same instructions for enabling printer sharing as listed above
2. After you turn Printer Sharing on, OS X 10.5 will display a list of connected printers and fax machines.
3. Place a check mark next to each device you want to share.
Close the Sharing window and you're done. Other Mac users on your local network will be able to select any of the printers or faxes you designated as shared, as long as your computer is on..

- Hook Your Mac Up to Your HDTV
One of the first things you may notice about your new big-screen HDTV is that it has more connections for video than your old TV ever dreamed about. It probably has two or three HDMI connections, maybe a DVI connector, a VGA connector, and at least one component video connection. And those are just the connections most commonly used for high definition.
It�s shame to let all those connections go to waste. Your Mac just happens to be sitting nearby; why not hook it up to your new HDTV? It's actually a pretty easy task. A few lucky souls won't even need an adapter; for the rest of us, at least one adapter will be necessary.
Pick the Right HDTV Port
For best quality, your HDTV's HDMI or DVI ports are the preferred connection method. Both are capable of the same digital quality. The only practical differences are the style of the connector and the fact that HDMI supports video and audio in a single connection.
If it has one, another option is to use your HDTV�s VGA port. The VGA connection isn't as good as the HDMI or DVI method, but as long as your TV supports full resolution via the VGA port, you'll be hard pressed to notice the difference.
Mac Pro, MacBook Pro, Mac Mini
Mac Pros, MacBook Pros, and Mac Minis have standard DVI connectors. Mac Minis and MacBook Pros have a single DVI port; Mac Pros have at least two DVI ports.
If your HDTV has a free DVI port, then all you need is a standard DVD cable; no adapter is necessary. But in all likelihood, you'll need to connect your Mac to your HDTV using either an HDMI or VGA connection; both options require an adapter. If you choose VGA, you can use the adapter that came with your Mac.
If you choose HDMI, you'll need a simple adapter, which is available from multiple sources. The adapter may be a cable with a DVI connector on one end and an HDMI connector on the other, or it may be a small adapter that has both types of connectors, but no cable. Either type will work fine.
iMac, MacBook
iMacs and MacBooks have a mini DVI connector for hooking up external monitors or TVs. You'll need at least one adapter, maybe even two. At a minimum, you'll need a mini DVI-to-DVI adapter. You may also need a DVI-to-HDMI or DVI-to-VGA adapter, depending on which port on the HDTV you choose for the connection.
Make the Connection
Once you determine which, if any, adapters you need, and have the necessary cable to reach from your Mac to the HDTV, turn off both the HDTV and the Mac. Connect the cable between the Mac and the HDTV.
Turn the HDTV back on first. It doesn't need to be set to the connection the Mac is on, but it must be powered up first, so that when it boots, your Mac can recognize the TV and the resolution it needs. Once the HDTV is powered up, turn on the Mac.
Your Mac should recognize the format and resolution of the TV, and automatically select the native resolution of the TV for running the video. In a few seconds, you should see the Mac desktop on the HDTV.
Over or Underscan
You may notice that the Mac's desktop appears to be slightly larger than the HDTV's screen (its edges are cut off); this is called overscan. Or, you may notice that the desktop doesn't occupy all of the HDTV's screen real estate (there are dark areas around the edges); this is called underscan.
You can usually correct either issue by making adjustments on the HDTV. Check the HDTV's manual for information on making scan-related adjustments. They may be called overscan, underscan, dot-by-dot, or pixel-by-pixel. If your HDTV has a dot-by-dot or pixel-by-pixel capability, give this a try; it should eliminate any over or underscan issues. Some HDTVs only offer these special scan controls on specific inputs, so be sure to connect to the corresponding input on your HDTV.
Time to Watch a Movie
Once you have your Mac and HDTV working together, it's time to kick back and watch a video from your Mac. Be sure to check out the QuickTime HD trailers for a sense of what HD and your Mac is capable of. Enjoy!

- Folder Actions - Get Notified When a File Is Added to a Folder
OS X's Folder Actions feature lets you assign AppleScripts to be executed whenever a monitored folder experiences a change, such as the addition of a file. This is a fantastic workflow automation tool that you can use in a myriad different ways.
The key to successful workflow automation with Folder Actions is a repetitive task or event. In order to implement Folder Actions, you must create an AppleScript to perform the task for you. AppleScript is OS X's built-in scripting language. It's somewhat easy to learn, but teaching you how to create your own AppleScripts is beyond the scope of this tip. Instead, we'll use one of the pre-made AppleScripts included with OS X.
The Event to Automate
My wife and I work on a small home network that consists of various computers, printers, and other shared resources. Our offices are in different parts of the house, and we often exchange files during the day. We could use email to send these files to each other, but more often than not, we just copy the files to shared folders on our computers. This method is handy for quick drag-and-drop file sharing, but unless one of us sends a message to the other, we don't know that there's a new file in our shared folder unless we happen to look.
Enter Folder Actions. One of the pre-made AppleScripts for Folder Actions is called 'new item alerts.' As you can guess from its name, this AppleScript watches a folder you specify. When something new is added to the folder, the AppleScript will display a dialog box announcing that the folder has a new item, a simple and elegant solution. Of course, this means I no longer have an excuse for not working on a new file, but everything has its down side.
Create the Folder Action
1. Right-click the folder you want to monitor.
2. Select �Configure Folder Action' from the pop-up menu. Depending on what contextual menu items you (or an application) may have added, the �Configure Folder Action� menu item may be listed under �More� in the pop-up menu.
3. The Folder Actions Setup window will appear.
4. Click the �+� sign at the bottom of the left-hand list to add a folder to the list of Folders with Actions.
5. A standard Open dialog box will display.
6. Select the folder you want to monitor and click the �Open� button.
7. A list of available AppleScripts will display.
8. Select �add � new item alert.scpt� from the list of scripts.
9. Click the �Attach� button.
10. Make sure the 'Enable Folder Actions' box is ticked.
11. Close the Folder Actions Setup window.
Now whenever an item is added to the specified folder, a dialog box will display the following text: �Folder Action Alert: One new item has been placed in folder �{folder name}.' The Folder Action Alert dialog box will also give you the option of viewing the new item(s).
The Folder Actions Alert dialog box will eventually dismiss itself, so if you're off having tea, you could miss a notification. Hmmm�maybe I have an excuse after all.

- Install an Internal Hard Drive in Your Mac Pro
Installing up to four internal hard drives in a Mac Pro is an easy do-it-yourself project that almost anyone can feel comfortable tackling.
Even an easy project goes better with a little advance planning, though. You can make the installation go quickly and smoothly by preparing your work area ahead of time.
What You Need
* One or more hard drives. The drive(s) should conform to either SATA 1 or SATA 3 specifications. SATA is a very common type of hard drive, so it should be easy to locate and purchase one, either locally or online.
* A screwdriver, preferably a Phillips #1, although in a pinch, a #2 will also work.
* A clean work area. You will be working with a number of small screws; don't risk losing any of them in a mish-mash of clutter
Good lighting and comfortable access make almost any task go more smoothly. If you're like many Mac Pro owners, your Mac Pro is probably under a desk or table. The first step is to move the Mac Pro to a clean table or desk in a well-lit area.
Discharge Static Electricity
1. If the Mac Pro is running, shut it down before proceeding.
2. Disconnect any cables that are connected to the Mac Pro, except the power cord. The power cord must be connected, so you can discharge any static buildup through the power cord and into its grounded outlet.
3. Discharge any static electricity that has built up on your body by touching the PCI expansion slot cover plates. You'll find these metal plates on the back of the Mac Pro, next to the DVI video connectors for the display. You may feel a slight static shock when you touch the metal cover plates. This is normal; there's no need to be concerned for yourself or the Mac Pro.
4. Remove the power cord from the Mac Pro.
The easiest way to access the Mac Pro's inner workings is to position it so that the side of the case that has an Apple logo on it is facing you.
If you have an adjustable lamp or light fixture, position it so that its light shines on the inside of the Mac Pro.
Open the Case
1. Lift the access latch on the back of the Mac Pro.
2. Tilt the access panel down. Sometimes the panel will stay in an upright position, even with the access latch open. If this happens, grab the sides of the access panel and gently tilt it down.
3. Once the access panel is open, put it on a towel or other soft surface, to prevent its metal finish from getting scratched.
According to Apple, it's safe to lay the Mac Pro on its side, so that the case's opening is facing straight up, but I've never found a good reason (or need) to do this. I recommend leaving the Mac Pro standing upright. This puts the hard drive area of the case more or less at eye level. The only disadvantage is that you'll need to hold onto the case when you remove or insert the hard drive sleds, to ensure that the Mac Pro doesn't fall over.
You can use whichever method feels most comfortable for you. All images in this guide will show the Mac Pro standing up.
Remove the Hard Drive Sled
1. Ensure that the access latch on the back of the Mac Pro is in the up position. The access latch not only locks the access panel, it also locks the hard drive sleds in place. If the latch isn't up, you won't be able to insert or remove a hard drive sled.
2. Pick the hard drive sled you want to use. The sleds are numbered one through four, with the number one sled near the front of the Mac Pro, and the number four sled at the rear. There is no significance to the positions or numbers, except that Apple uses the number one sled as the default location for a hard drive installation.
3. Pull the hard drive sled out of the drive bay. This might seem tricky the first time you do it. Just let your fingers curl around the bottom of the sled, and then pull it towards you.
If you're replacing an existing hard drive, remove the old hard drive from the sled you removed in the previous step before proceeding.
Attach the Hard Drive
1. Remove the four screws attached to the hard drive sled and set them aside.
2. Place the new hard drive on a flat surface, such as your nice, clean table, with the printed circuit board facing up.
3. Put the hard drive sled on top of the new hard drive, aligning the sled's screw holes with the threaded mounting points on the drive.
4. Use the Phillips screwdriver to install and tighten the mounting screws you set aside earlier. Be careful not to over-tighten the screws.
Putting the sled back where it came from is a simple process. First, as you did when you removed the sled, make sure the access latch on the back of the Mac Pro is in the up position.
Slide the Sled Home
1. Now that the new hard drive is attached to the sled, align the sled with the drive bay opening and gently push the sled into place, so that it's flush with the other sleds.
2. To reinstall the access panel, put the bottom of the panel into the Mac Pro, so that the set of tabs on the bottom of the panel catch the lip at the bottom of the Mac Pro. Once everything is aligned, tilt the panel up and into position.
3. Close the access latch on the back of the Mac Pro. This will lock the hard drive sleds in place, as well as lock the access panel.
That's all there is to it, other than to reconnect the power cord and all the cables you disconnected back at the beginning of this project. Once everything is connected, you can turn your Mac Pro on.
You will probably need to format the new hard drive before you can use it. You can do this with the Disk Utilities application, which is located in the Applications/Utilities folder. If you need help with the formatting process, check out our Disk Utilities guide.

- Organize Your Dock: Add a Dock Spacer in OS X 10.5
The Dock is a pretty good application launcher, but its organizational skills are a bit lacking. You can rearrange Dock icons to put them in the order you wish, but that�s about it. When you have a Dock of full of icons, it is too easy to get lost visually and waste time searching through the Dock for a specific icon.
What the Dock needs is some visual clues to help you organize and find Dock icons. The Dock already has one organizational clue: the separator located between the application side of the Dock and the document side. You�ll need additional separators if you want to organize your Dock items by type.
Using this tip, you can add a blank icon to the Dock that will act as a spacer. The icon will add a small gap between the two Dock icons of your choice, providing a simple visual cue that can save you time and aggravation.
The Dock is broken into two main areas: the application side, located to the left of the built-in Dock separator, and the document side, located to the right of the built-in Dock separator. Likewise, there are two different Terminal commands for creating Dock spacers: one for the application side and one for the document side. Use this Terminal command for whichever side you want to benefit from the addition of a spacer.
Once you add a spacer, you can rearrange it, just like any other Dock icon, but you can�t move it past the Dock separator.
Use Terminal to Add a Spacer to the Application Side of Your Dock
1. Launch Terminal, located at /Applications/Utilities/Terminal.
2. Enter the following command line into Terminal. You can copy/paste the text into Terminal, or you can simply type the text as shown. The command is a single line of text, but your browser may break it into multiple lines. Be sure to enter the command as a single line in the Terminal application.
defaults write com.apple.dock persistent-apps -array-add '{tile-data={}; tile-type="spacer-tile";}'
3. Press enter or return.
4. Enter the following text into Terminal. If you type the text rather than copy/paste it, be sure to match the case of the text.
killall Dock
5. Press enter or return.
6. The Dock will disappear for a moment, and then reappear.
7. Enter the following text into Terminal.
exit
8. Press enter or return.
9. The exit command will cause Terminal to end the current session. You can then quit the Terminal application.
Use Terminal to Add a Spacer to the Document Side of Your Dock
1. Launch Terminal, located at /Applications/Utilities/Terminal.
2. Enter the following command line into Terminal. You can copy/paste the text into Terminal, or you can simply type the text as shown. Be sure to enter the command as a single line in the Terminal application.
defaults write com.apple.dock persistent-others -array-add '{tile-data={}; tile-type="spacer-tile";}'
3. Press enter or return.
4. Enter the following text into Terminal. If you type the text rather than copy/paste it, be sure to match the case of the text.
killall Dock
5. Press enter or return.
6. The Dock will disappear for a moment, and then reappear.
7. Enter the following text into Terminal.
exit
8. Press enter or return.
9. The exit command will cause Terminal to end the current session. You can then quit the Terminal application.
Using Your New Dock Spacers
An application Dock spacer will appear to the far right of the application area of the Dock; a document Dock spacer will appear just to the left of the trash can in the Dock. You can drag either spacer type to its final destination.
If you need more than one Dock spacer, repeat the Terminal commands above for each new spacer you wish to add.
Removing Dock Spacers
Dock spacers function just like any other Dock icon. You can remove them by either clicking and dragging the spacer out of the Dock, or by right-clicking on a spacer and choosing �Remove from Dock� from the popup menu.

One of the cool features of OS X is the Dashboard, a special environment where widgets, those mini-applications designed to perform a single task, reside.
Now, widgets are pretty cool. They let you quickly access productive or just plain fun applications by switching to the Dashboard environment. The not-so-cool part of widgets is the Dashboard environment. Apple created Dashboard so that widgets would run inside a special protected area. You can think of Dashboard as a corral; the widgets inside Dashboard can�t get to the system or user data outside Dashboard. The downside is that you have to leave the Mac desktop and enter the special Dashboard application in order to access your widgets, a process that makes widgets inherently second-class application citizens. I would much rather have the widgets I want to use available at all times, right on my desktop.
Luckily for us, that�s actually pretty easy to do. Apple even provides documentation about how to do it, because widget developers need to run their widgets on the desktop, so they can debug them during the development process. We�re going to take advantage of the same trick that Apple developers use to put our widgets on the desktop.
Use Terminal to Enable Dashboard Development Mode
1. Launch Terminal, located at /Applications/Utilities/Terminal.
2. Enter the following command line into Terminal. You can copy/paste the text into Terminal, or you can simply type the text as shown. The command is a single line of text, but your browser may break it into multiple lines. Be sure to enter the command as a single line in the Terminal application.
defaults write com.apple.dashboard devmode YES
3. Press enter or return.
4. Enter the following text into Terminal. If you type the text rather than copy/paste it, be sure to match the case of the text.
killall Dock
5. Press enter or return.
6. The Dock will disappear for a moment, and then reappear.
7. Enter the following text into Terminal.
exit
8. Press enter or return.
9. The exit command will cause Terminal to end the current session. You can then quit the Terminal application.
How to Move a Widget to the Desktop
1. Press F12, or click the �Dashboard� icon in the Dock.
2. Select a widget by clicking it and holding down the mouse button. Still holding the mouse button, move the widget slightly. Keep holding the mouse button until the end of the next step.
3. Press F12, then drag the widget to the location of your choice on the desktop. Once the widget is where you want it, release the mouse button.
Widgets that you move to the desktop will always reside in front of the desktop and any applications or windows you may have open. For this reason, moving a widget to the desktop may not be the best idea if your Mac has a small display. You need plenty of room for widgets for this trick to be really useful.
Return a Widget to the Dashboard
If you decide you don�t wish to have a widget take up permanent residence on your desktop, you can return the widget to the Dashboard by reversing the process.
1. Select a widget on the desktop by clicking it and holding down the mouse button. Still holding the mouse button, move the widget slightly. Keep holding the mouse button until the end of the next step.
2. Press F12, then drag the widget to the location of your choice in Dashboard. Once the widget is where you want it, release the mouse button.
3. Press F12 again. The widget you selected will disappear, along with the Dashboard environment.
Use Terminal to Disable Dashboard Development Mode
1. Launch Terminal, located at /Applications/Utilities/Terminal.
2. Enter the following text into Terminal as a single line.
defaults write com.apple.dashboard devmode NO
3. Press enter or return.
4. Enter the following text into Terminal. Be sure to match the case of the text.
killall Dock
5. Press enter or return.
6. The Dock will disappear for a moment, and then reappear.
7. Enter the following text into Terminal.
exit
8. Press enter or return.
9. The exit command will cause Terminal to end the current session. You can then quit the Terminal application.

- Use Terminal To Clean Up Your Desktop
If your Mac desktop is anything like mine, it tends to get cluttered up with files and folders faster than you can organize and file them. In other words, much like a real desktop.
And just like a real desk, there are times when you wish you could just sweep all the debris off the Mac desktop and into a drawer. Believe it or not, you can do this (well, except for the drawer part). Best of all, when you clean up your Mac desktop, you don�t have to worry about losing any of the information. It all stays right where it is; it just becomes hidden from view.
A clean desktop is perfect for taking screen shots, when you don�t want your desktop clutter to show, or just for clearing out the view when you need to concentrate. Here is how I make my desktop so neat for all of the screen shots I post here on About: Macs.
Use Terminal to Clean Up Your Desktop
1. Launch Terminal, located at /Applications/Utilities/Terminal.
2. Enter the following command line into Terminal. You can copy/paste the text into Terminal, or you can simply type the text as shown. The command is a single line of text, but your browser may break it into multiple lines. Be sure to enter the command as a single line in the Terminal application.
defaults write com.apple.finder CreateDesktop -bool false
3. Press enter or return.
4. Enter the following text into Terminal. If you type the text rather than copy/paste it, be sure to match the case of the text.
killall Finder
5. Press enter or return.
6. The Finder will disappear for a moment, and then reappear.
7. Enter the following text into Terminal.
exit
8. Press enter or return.
9. The exit command will cause Terminal to end the current session. You can then quit the Terminal application.
Your desktop will now be clear of all of its previous clutter of icons, including icons for files, folders, hard drives, and removable media. Only your desktop�s background image, the Dock, the menu bar, and open windows will be visible.
You can still use your Mac and the Finder just like you normally do. You can even save or open files, create or move folders, or manipulate anything that was on the desktop, although you will have to do that from a Finder window open to your Desktop.
If you find you miss your messy desktop, it�s easy to get everything back by following these simple steps.
Use Terminal to Restore Your Messy Desktop
1. Launch Terminal, located at /Applications/Utilities/Terminal.
2. Enter the following command line into Terminal. You can copy/paste the text into Terminal, or you can simply type the text as shown. The command is a single line of text, but your browser may break it into multiple lines. Be sure to enter the command as a single line in the Terminal application.
defaults write com.apple.finder CreateDesktop -bool true
3. Press enter or return.
4. Enter the following text into Terminal. If you type the text rather than copy/paste it, be sure to match the case of the text.
killall Finder
5. Press enter or return.
6. The Finder will disappear for a moment, and then reappear.
7. Enter the following text into Terminal.
exit
8. Press enter or return.
9. The exit command will cause Terminal to end the current session. You can then quit the Terminal application.
That�s it. Your old desktop, messy icons and all, will be back, looking just as it did before you made it disappear. But whenever you need to clean house again, you�ll know the Terminal equivalent of sweeping everything under the rug.

- Customize the Dock: Add a Recent Applications Stack to the Dock
The Dock is one of OS X�s best features. It puts applications and documents at your fingertips, where you can access them with a click of the mouse. But what if an application or document is one that you don�t use often enough to deserve its own space in the Dock? For example, I often make heavy use of an application for a day or two, and then rarely use it again for several months. It certainly doesn�t deserve to take up dedicated space in the Dock, but it would be handy to be able to access it quickly during those few days I�m using it heavily.
One method of accomplishing this goal is the �Recent Items� Apple menu item, which provides easy access to recently used documents, applications, and servers. But if you�re Dock-oriented like me, you might wish you could access the Recent Items option through the Dock instead of the Apple menu.
Fortunately, it�s both possible and easy to customize the Dock by adding a Recent Items stack. Not only will this stack keep track of applications, documents, and servers you�ve recently used, it will also track volumes and any favorite items you�ve added to the Finder sidebar.
The Recent Items stack is so versatile I�m surprised Apple didn�t include it as part of the standard Dock.
What You Need
* OS X 10.5.x. This tip works specifically with OS X 10.5.x and will probably work with any future version of OS X.
* The willingness to use the Terminal application to customize the Dock. The Terminal application gives you a command line interface to the underbelly of OS X.
Let�s Get Started
1. Launch Terminal, located at /Applications/Utilities/Terminal.
2. Enter the following text into Terminal. You can copy/paste the following line into Terminal, or you can simply type the line as shown. (The command below is a single line of text, but your browser may break it into multiple lines. Be sure to enter the text as a single line in the Terminal application.
defaults write com.apple.dock persistent-others -array-add '{ "tile-data" = { "list-type" = 1; }; "tile-type" = "recents-tile"; }'
3. After you enter the line above, press enter or return.
4. Enter the following text into Terminal. If you type the text rather than copy/paste it, be sure to match the case of the text.
killall Dock
5. Press enter or return.
6. The Dock will disappear for a moment and then reappear.
7. Enter the following text into Terminal.
exit
8. Press enter or return.
9. The exit command will cause Terminal to end the current session. You can then quit the Terminal application.
Using the Recent Items Stack
Your Dock will now have a new Recent Items stack located just to the left of the Trash icon. If you click on the Recent Items stack, you will see a list of your most recently used applications. Click the Recent Items stack again to close the display of recent applications.
But wait; there�s more. If you right-click on the Recent Items stack, you will see that you can choose which recent items should display. You can select any of the following from the menu: Recent Applications, Recent Documents, Recent Servers, Recent Volumes, or Favorite Items.
If you would like to have more than one Recent Items stack, repeat the terminal commands listed above under �Let�s Get Started.� This will create a second Recent Items stack, which you can right-click and assign to show one of the recent item types. For instance, you could have two Recent Item stacks; one showing recent applications and the other showing recent documents.
Deleting the Recent Items Stack
If you decide you don�t wish to have a Recent Items stack in your Dock, you can make it disappear by right-clicking on the stack and selecting �Remove from Dock� from the pop-up menu. This will remove the Recent Items stack and return your Dock to the way it looked before you added the Recent Items stack.

- View Hidden Folders on Your Mac Using Terminal
Your Mac has a few secrets, hidden folders and files that are invisible to you. Apple hides these files and folders to prevent you from accidentally changing or deleting important data that your Mac needs.
Apple's reasoning is good, but there are times when you may need to view these out-of-the-way corners of your Mac's file system. Fortunately, Apple includes a way to access these hidden goodies in OS X, in the form of an application called Terminal. All it takes to get your Mac to spill its secrets is a little typing in Terminal.
Terminal Is Your Friend
1. Launch Terminal, located at /Applications/Utilities/.
2. Type or copy/paste the following commands into the Terminal window. Press the return key after you enter each line of text. Note: There are only two lines of text below, each in its own gray box. Depending on the size of your browser�s window, the lines could be wrapping and appearing as more than two lines. Be sure to enter them as single lines.
defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles TRUE
killall Finder
Entering the two lines above into Terminal will allow you to use the Finder to display all of the hidden files on your Mac. The first line tells the Finder to display all files, regardless of how the hidden flag is set. The second line stops and restarts the Finder, so the changes can take effect. You may see your desktop disappear and reappear when you execute these commands; this is normal.
Now that you can see all the hidden folders and files in the Finder (say that three times fast), you will probably want to hide them again, if only because they tend to clutter up Finder windows with extraneous items.
Hide the Clutter
1. Launch Terminal, located at /Applications/Utilities/.
2. Type or copy/paste the following commands into the Terminal window. Press the return key after you enter each line of text. Note: There are only two lines of text below, each in its own gray box. Depending on the size of your browser�s window, the lines could be wrapping and appearing as more than two lines. Be sure to enter them as single lines.
defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles FALSE

Poof! The hidden files are once again hidden. No harm was done to any hidden folder or file in the making of this Mac tip.

- The Finder Toolbar - Add Items to the Finder Toolbar
There�s a handy toolbar located across the top of the Mac�s Finder window. The Finder toolbar is usually populated with a collection of useful tools, such as the forward and back arrows, view buttons for changing how the Finder window displays data, and other goodies.
You probably know that you can customize the Finder toolbar by adding tools from a palette of options. But you may not know that you can also easily customize the Finder toolbar with items that aren�t included in the built-in palette. With drag-and-drop simplicity, you can add applications, files, and folders to the toolbar, and give yourself easy access to your most commonly used programs, folders, and files.
I like a tidy Finder window, so I don�t recommend going overboard and turning the Finder toolbar into a mini Dock. But you can add an application or two without cluttering things up. I frequently use TextEdit for jotting down quick notes, so I added it to the toolbar. I also added iTunes, so I can quickly launch my favorite tunes from any Finder window.
Add Applications to the Finder Toolbar
1. Start by opening a Finder window. A quick way to do this is to click the Finder icon in the Dock.
2. Expand the Finder window horizontally to make room for new items by clicking and holding the bottom right corner of the window and dragging it to the right. Release the mouse button when you�ve enlarged the Finder window by about half of its previous size.
3. Use the Finder window to navigate to the item you want to add to the Finder toolbar. For example, to add TextEdit, click the Applications folder in the Finder sidebar.
4. When you locate the item you want to add to the Finder toolbar, click and drag the item to the toolbar. Be patient; after a short time, a green plus (+) sign will appear, indicating that you can release the mouse button and drop the item onto the toolbar.
5. If you dropped the item into the wrong location on the toolbar, you can rearrange things by right-clicking any blank spot in the toolbar and selecting �Customize Toolbar� from the dropdown menu.
6. When the customization sheet drops down from the toolbar, drag the misplaced icon in the toolbar to a new location. When you�re satisfied with the way the toolbar icons are arranged, click the �Done� button.
7. Repeat the above steps to add another application, file, or folder to the Finder toolbar.

- Customize the Finder Toolbar
The Finder toolbar, a collection of buttons located at the top of a Finder window, is easy to customize. In addition to the Back, View, and Action buttons that are already present in the toolbar, you can add functions such as Eject, Burn, and Delete.
Add Items to the Finder Toolbar
1. Open a Finder window by clicking the 'Finder' icon in the Dock.
2. Select 'Customize Toolbar' from the View menu. A dialog sheet will slide into view.
3. Some of my favorite functions to add to the toolbar include:
* Path - Shows the current path to the folder you're viewing in the active Finder window.
* New Folder - Lets you add a new folder to the folder you're currently viewing.
* Get Info - Displays detailed information about a selected file or folder.
* Eject - Ejects removable media, such as CDs and DVDs, from the optical drive.
* Delete - Sends files or folders off to oblivion, or the Trash as some people call it.
4. Click and drag icons for the desired functions from the dialog sheet to the Finder toolbar.
5. Click the �Done� button when you have finished adding items to the toolbar.
Space, Flexible Space, and Separators
You may have noticed three unusual items in the dialog sheet for customizing the Finder toolbar: Space, Flexible Space, and Separator. These three items can add a bit of polish to the Finder toolbar by helping you organize it.
* Space - Adds a fixed-size space, approximately the size of a single toolbar icon, to the toolbar. You can use Space to give Finder toolbar items a little breathing room.
* Flexible Space - Produces a space that is variable in size. As the size of the Finder window changes, the Flexible Space size changes, but it never becomes smaller than the standard (default) Space item.
* Separator - Adds a visual vertical line to help separate toolbar icons. A good use of Separator is to help define a group of related toolbar icons.
Remove Toolbar Icons
After you add items to the Finder toolbar, you may decide it's getting too cluttered. It's as easy to remove items as it is to add them.
1. Open a Finder window by clicking the 'Finder' icon in the Dock.
2. Select 'Customize Toolbar' from the View menu. A dialog sheet will slide down.
3. Click and drag the offending icon away from the toolbar. It will disappear in the ever-popular puff of smoke.

- The Finder Path Bar - Using the Finder Path Bar
With the release of OS X 10.5, Apple added a new feature to Finder windows: the Path Bar. The Finder Path Bar is a small pane located at the bottom of a Finder window, just below where files and folders are listed.
As its name implies, the Path Bar shows you the path from the folder you�re currently viewing to the top of the file system. Or, to put it another way, it shows you the path you created when you clicked through the Finder to get to this folder.
In addition to its obvious use as a road map of where you�ve been and how you got from there to here, the Path Bar also serves a few other handy functions.
* Double-clicking any of the folders in the Path Bar takes you to that folder.
* You can move files and folders to any item in the Path Bar by simply dragging and dropping them.
* You can copy items by holding down the Option key as you drag them, or create an alias to an item by holding down the Command + Option keys while you drag it.
Enable the Finder Path Bar
1. The Finder Path Bar is disabled by default, but it only takes a few seconds to enable it. Start by opening a Finder window. An easy way to do this is to click the Finder icon in the Dock.
2. With a Finder window open, select �Show Path Bar� from the View menu.
3. The Path Bar will now display in all of your Finder windows.
The Finder Path Bar can be a handy shortcut when working with files and folders. Give this nifty new feature a try.

- Make the Most of the Finder Sidebar
A Finder window sidebar is a handy list of commonly used folders, drives, and network locations. Apple pre-populates it with what it considers to be most useful items for most users, but there's no reason not to add, remove, or rearrange items. After all, it's your sidebar, and setting it up just the way you like it is a key to productivity.
Show or Hide the Sidebar�s Default Items
1. Open a Finder window by clicking the 'Finder' icon in the Dock, or by clicking on a vacant area of the desktop.
2. Open the Finder's preferences by selecting 'Preferences' from the Finder menu.
3. Click the �Sidebar� icon in the Finder Preferences window.
4. Place or remove a checkmark, as appropriate, from the list of items in the sidebar.
5. Close the Finder Preferences window.
Feel free to experiment with the items in the list. You can return to the Finder preferences at any time, and modify the show/hide details.
Add a File or Folder to the Sidebar
You can add your most often used files or folders to the sidebar, to keep them a mouse click away whenever you open a Finder window.
1. Open a Finder window by clicking the 'Finder' icon in the Dock.
2. Click and drag a file or folder to the sidebar. A horizontal line will appear, indicating the location the file or folder will occupy when you release the mouse button.
3. Position the file or folder where you want it to appear, and then release the mouse button. There are some restrictions on where you can place a file or folder. In Tiger (10.4.x), you can only place an item in the 'Location' section of the sidebar; the upper section is reserved for drives and network devices. In Leopard (10.5.x), you can only add items to the 'Places' section of the sidebar.
Add an Application to the Sidebar
Although this isn't commonly known, the sidebar can hold more than just files and folders; it can also hold the applications you use most often. Follow the same steps as adding a file or folder, but select an application instead of a file or folder.
Rearrange the Sidebar
You can rearrange most items in the sidebar as you see fit. Simply click and drag a sidebar item to its new target location. The other items in the sidebar will rearrange themselves, to make room for the item being moved.
Remove Items From the Sidebar
Like the desktop, the sidebar can quickly get cluttered. You can remove a file, folder, or application you added to the sidebar by clicking and dragging its icon out of the sidebar. It will disappear in a puff of smoke. Don't worry, though, the item itself is still safe in its original location; only the sidebar alias was incinerated.
Hide the Sidebar
OS X 10.4.x allows you to hide the sidebar; OS X 10.5 doesn�t give you this option.
To hide the sidebar in OS X 10.4.x, look for the little dimple in the bar that separates the sidebar and the Finder window. Click and drag the dimple all the way to the left to hide the sidebar. Click and drag it to the right to reveal or resize the sidebar.

- Expose - Using Leopard's Expose Preferences PaneExpose is Apple's window management system. It allows you to manipulate windows on your desktop, so you can quickly locate or hide them, and quickly access the desktop when it's obscured by open windows.Before Expose, working with multiple open windows could be difficult, because they tended to obscure the desktop as well as each other. Trying to access a window that was hidden behind others required using the mouse to move windows around until you uncovered the one you wanted and could click it to bring it to the foreground.Expose solves this problem by providing shortcuts that can display all windows, display only windows of a specific application, or hide all windows so you can access the desktop easily.Launch the Expose Preferences Pane 1. Click the 'System Preferences' icon in the Dock or select 'System Preferences' from the Apple menu. 2. Click the 'Expose & Spaces' icon in the Personal section of the System Preferences window. 3. Click the 'Expose' tab. Expose FunctionsExpose has three functions that make it easier to work with multiple open windows. * All Windows. This function displays open windows as thumbnails, so all windows are visible. You can easily click on a specific window to select it. Once you click it, the selected window moves to the front and the windows resume their normal sizes. * Application Windows. This is similar to the first function, but only the windows associated with the application you're currently working with display as thumbnails. Once again, you can click any thumbnail. The selected window will move to the front and all windows will resume their normal size. * Show Desktop. This last function sweeps away the clutter of open windows to reveal the desktop. Configure ExposeYou can control Expose by using your keyboard's function keys or by moving the mouse cursor to a corner of the screen. You can configure each corner to invoke an aspect of Expose. If you have a multi-button mouse, you can assign Expose functions to specific mouse buttons.Active Screen CornersWithin the Expose preferences pane is the Active Screen Corners section, an area that depicts your display with a dropdown menu for each corner. You can use each dropdown menu to assign a function to its corner. All corners offer the same options. * All Windows. Displays all open windows as thumbnails. * Application Windows. Displays all of the windows associated with the current application as thumbnails. * Show Desktop. Hides all windows and reveals the desktop. * Dashboard. Switches to Dashboard and brings all active Dashboard widgets to the screen. * Start Screen Saver. Activates the currently selected screen saver. * Disable Screen Saver. Turns off the currently selected screen saver. * Sleep Display. Puts your display in sleep mode. Make a selection from an Active Screen Corners dropdown menu. You can disable any active corner by selecting the '-' (dash) item from the corner's dropdown menu.Expose Keyboard and Mouse ShortcutsYou can assign any available function key or a mouse button to any Expose function. Each Expose function (All Windows, Application Windows, Show Desktop) has a pair of dropdown menus. The first dropdown menu allows you to assign the Expose function to a function key. The second dropdown menu allows you to assign the Expose function to a mouse button.Use the dropdown menus to make your selection. One thing to note: F9 through F12 are the default function keys for using Expose and Dashboard. Unless you have a pressing need to use these function keys for some other application, I recommend leaving them as they are configured by default.DashboardThe last section of the Expose preferences pane allows you to select the function key and mouse button that will activate Dashboard. Use the first dropdown menu to assign a function key to hide or show Dashboard, and the second dropdown menu to assign a mouse button to hide or show Dashboard.Now that you've configured Expose to your liking, you should find it much easier to navigate your desktop and open windows.
