As a result I wanted to do a post on what I believe are the top 100 Mac applications that are essential to any user. I’ve picked a variety of applications that I could think of.

Each application will be split into a couple of major sections. If you want to take your knowledge of Mac apps a bit further I recommend these two books on Amazon, Cool Mac Apps and The Little Mac Book they have got some raving reviews and are probably a good read.

I did my best to avoid overly popular titles, but couldn’t avoid it in some cases. A rolling list of ‘Honorable Mentions’ follow the Top 100, so… keep reading. Only one application is missing. I’m also happy to announce that both VMware and Shiny White Box are coming aboard as official video sponsors – but their presence in this list is based on app merit.

Guias XV. Xee. WhatSize. AppTrap. En AppsMac ya hablamos en su día de dos aplicaciones que hacían esta función, AppZaper y AppDelete. Pues en este caso es una alternativa de los dos programas mencionados. AppTrap funciona como una aplicación en segundo plano que podemos activar en Manzana -> Preferencias del Sistema. Una vez activado, solo tenemos que borrar una aplicación y automáticamente, AppTrap nos preguntara si queremos llevar también a la papelera los ficheros de configuración de la aplicación en cuestión y claro en el caso de que la aplicación que vayamos a borrar tenga ficheros de configuración, si no AppTrap directamente no preguntara.

Haz BackUps en tu Mac sin tener TimeMachine. Antes que podamos tener operativo un gestor de copias de seguridad como TimeMachine, que estará disponible en Leopard de serie y a partir del próximo Octubre, bueno es saber de otras alternativas para realizar backups de nuestro sistema y carpetas bajo Mac OS X Tiger como SuperDuper, SilverKeeper, Carbon Copy Cloner, Deja Vú, Synk Backup, iBackup o CrashPlan. En esta entrada veremos pues las alternativas que tenemos y sus principales características. Carbon Copy Cloner es gratuito y funciona la mar de bien: permite clonar directamente un disco en otra ubicación, las veces que he tenido que usarlo siempre me ha respondido a la perfección. Mediante él podemos hacer copias de discos enteros con lo que podremos si es el caso generar copias de seguridad de nuestro sistema al completo antes de realizar tareas que puedan ponerlo en peligro para si nos lo cargamos poder restaurarlas.

SilverKeeper es otra opción gratuita que revisaron hace tiempo en LifeHacker y que nos sirve perfectamente. Drive-in. HowTo: Quitar del escritorio el molesto "Untitled" de. Algo que tarde o temprano hacen los que se compran un Mac Intel es probar Bootcamp e instalar Windows, seguramente por un amplio abanico de motivos, incluso sabiendo que en algunos casos no se va a arrancar casi nunca desde esa partición.

Ocurre con frecuencia que una vez instalado el sistema operativo de forma exitosa se muestra la partición NTFS en el escritorio como un volumen llamado “Untitled”. Hay varias formas de conseguir renombrar la partición, pero si probáis la más obvia (como se renombra cualquier archivo o volumen en el Finder, es decir pulsando Enter) no os funcionará. En adelante os planteo tres formas de solucionar este embrollo, primero una fácil y otras con un poco más de complicación. La vía fácil Se ve que si entras en Windows, renombras la unidad y vuelves a Mac OS X, todo parece que vuelva a la normalidad y habrás conseguido que al menos no se muestre ese molesto “Untitled”.

11 Ways to Optimize Your Mac's Performance. Publisher’s note: This article, originally written by Ed Eubanks Jr and published on 2007.03.12, has been the most popular article in the history of Low End Mac with well over 2 million hits. It was written toward the end of the Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger era and has been updated since its first publication. Most of these tips apply to Intel-based Macs running Tiger, but we specifically address G3, G4, and G5 PowerPC Macs, since Intel Mac users really should be using something newer than Tiger by now (we love OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard, the last version before OS X became heavily influenced by iOS).

We hope to add similar articles covering later versions of OS X. Every now and then, my Macs begin to feel a little sluggish.

For anyone wondering whether an update to iPhoto Diet is in the works, the short answer is, yes! While the incompatibilities are fairly straightforward to fix, there are a couple items that will take a bit more effort to address. First, iPhoto Diet code needs to be refactored into smaller files, as the current main Applescript file has grown to more than 5000 lines, causing XCode to persistently balk at compile time.

Even if XCode 3 in Leopard supports larger Applescript files, code refactoring is a GOOD THING for code maintainability, and something I have been meaning to do for some time; the only downside is that it will take some time to retest all the code and make sure it works together from the smaller files. Second, there are some long-standing bugs from the iPhoto Diet 3.1 release that require fixing, if at all possible. To get started right away: PulpMotion. Pure Mac. Google Importer. Home and Away.

This screensaver renders a fairly realistic water effect over your desktop, showing it distorted through the wavy surface of the water as raindrops fall on the surface. It uses quite a bit of CPU power. There are configuration options to vary the accuracy of the simulation to fit the processing power available. Note: If you experience a black screen when activating the screensaver, this is because of a Mac OS X security feature. If your computer is set to ask for a password after disabling the screensaver, the screensaver is also denied access to the desktop. To fix this, either disable the password, or select an image file to use as background instead of the desktop. New in v1.8: Fixed to work on Mavericks.
