As SSDs become more common, and prices drop, more and more people are either buying Macs with SSDs, or installing them in their Macs. Personally, I started using an SSD with the first MacBook Air in 2008, and bought my current Mac - a Mac mini, purchased in 2011 - with an...
These AppleScripts are related to this hint. Both can already be found in the replies to the hint topic post, but I'm resubmitting them so that they will appear together. The first is an improved version of the original AppleScript which presents a dialog box from which a...
iTunes Smart Playlists don't offer a criteria to find tracks which have been partially played. While 'Last Skipped' is an option, this track property may not be set if the track wasn't actually skipped and was merely stopped. However, if a track's 'Remember playback...

I recently tried to drag from Safari's Downloads popup and found that if you drag from the icon of the downloaded file, you can move it where you want. Click on an icon in the Downloads popup and drag it to any folder, or even onto a Dock icon to launch a file you've just...

I use Terminal everyday, and I find it a good idea to log everything I you. It makes it much easier to undo your mistakes when you know what those mistakes were. Here's how I do this: Open Terminal's preferences. Go to Settings, then Shell. You can choose here to run a...

Combining some findings from a recent hint and on Apple's forums, I've finally found a way to disable the annoying rubber-band scrolling in most applications. All the credit goes to those guys as they did the initial investigation. It works in applications like: Finder...

If you use Lion Server, and its wiki server, you may find it useful to use custom URL protocols for internal documents and links. Apple has published a technical note explaining how to do this. This document explains how to create the necessary configuration file -...
