Tips: modificare un file protetto con TextEdit | SaggiaMente Pubblicato il 22/09/2010 alle 13:48 Ci sono alcune applicazioni, come il gratuito Smultron (ora Fraise) che hanno una comoda funzione integrata che permette di accedere ai file nascosti e di modificarli previa autenticazione. Questo di oggi è un trucco che però è bene conoscere per capire come ragiona OS X e perché potrebbe tornarvi utile in alcune situazioni di emergenza. I motivi per cui ci si può trovare a dover editare un file contenuto nelle cartelle di sistema sono molti. Ipotizziamo ad esempio di dover modificare il file hosts per inserire una personalizzazione sul DNS. Ricordate che questa finestrella si comporta in modo molto simile al Terminale, quindi potrete anche usare il tasto tab per il completamento, come spiegato nelle puntate 17 e 19 del podcast.

Map a network drive on a Mac - OS X Daily If you frequently access a file server from a Mac it’s pretty helpful to map the network drive to your desktop. There’s two ways to do this, one method is just mapped for one time use and will reset after a reboot, and another method is a more permanent route that allows the mapped network drive to always appear and mount on your desktop after system reboots and user logins. Map a network drive to Mac OS X This method maps a network drive that will disappear if the network connection drops or if you reboot your Mac: From the Mac OS X Finder, hit Command+K to bring up the ‘Connect to Server’ windowEnter the path to the network drive you want to map, ie: and click ‘Connect’Enter your login/password and click “OK” to mount the network driveThe drive will now appear on your desktop and in the Finder window sidebar Map a network drive to Mac OS X that re-mounts after system reboot Make the mapped network drive visible on the Mac desktop

Dual Boot Ubuntu and Windows This page describes how to set up your computer in order to dual boot Ubuntu and Windows. Although this may seem obvious, it is important to back up your files to an external backup medium before attempting a dual-boot installation (or any other hard drive manipulation), in case your hard drive becomes corrupted during the process. External hard drives, USB flash drives, and multiple DVDs or CDs are all useful for this purpose. Some computer manufacturers that pre-install Windows provide a Windows recovery/re-installation CD or DVD with the computer. You may need to request a physical recovery/re-installation CD or DVD directly from your computer manufacturer. Once you have created a physical backup disc from a restore-image partition on the hard-drive, the restore-image partition can either be removed or left in place. When a Windows installation already occupies the entire hard drive, its partition needs to be shrunk, creating free space for the Ubuntu partition. Install Ubuntu

Magic Trackpad: la recensione - TheAppleLounge Dopo qualche giorno di intenso utilizzo è arrivato finalmente il momento di esporre le mie considerazioni in merito al nuovo Magic Trackpad offerto da Apple. Intanto qualche premessa è d’obbligo: per intenso utilizzo intendo quello che per me è un utilizzo del tutto normale, passando quotidianamente dalle 12 alle 14 ore sul Mac. Inoltre, non ho in alcun modo cercato di “forzare la mano”, nel senso che ho cercato di utilizzare il Magic Trackpad come se lo avessi sempre avuto e senza per forza dover trovare utilizzi particolari. Come una semplice periferica di input insomma, esattamente quello che è. L’ultima premessa necessaria riguarda la differenza che può fare l’essere già abituati a una periferica del genere (leggi: possedere un MacBook o un MacBook Pro), che sicuramente non è poca cosa, almeno durante i primi momenti di affiatamento. Fatte le debite premesse, partiamo con la recensione vera e propria. Unboxing Installazione Utilizzo Due possibilità anche per la sezione Quattro dita.

Use Ubuntu Live CD to Backup Files from Your Dead Windows Computer If you’ve ever asked for help with your Windows computer that won’t boot anymore, you’ve probably been told to “Backup all your data and then reinstall”… but if you can’t boot, how can you get to your data? That’s the question we’ll be answering today. One of the easiest methods to access your data is to simply boot off an Ubuntu Live CD… and it’s completely free (except for the cost of a blank cd). Burn an Ubuntu Live CD If you have another computer, you can download and burn the Ubuntu Live CD using a very simple application called ImgBurn. Otherwise, you can bug one of your friends to help you burn a copy. Just open up ImgBurn, and click the icon to “Write image file to disc” Then click on the icon next to “Source”, pick the downloaded ISO file, stick a recordable CD into the drive, and click burn. Now that you have the boot cd (which you should keep in a safe place, as it’s very useful), just stick it in the drive of the computer and boot from it. sudo /bin/bash mkdir /media/disk fdisk -l
