Must-Have Mac Maintenance Apps According to Murphy's law, anything that can go wrong will go wrong. This holds especially true for mechanical and electronic devices. If you don't change your car's motor oil, your engine will eventually seize up. And if you don't perform regularly scheduled maintenance on your Mac, your computer could be in a world of hurt. Forcing Background Maintenance Tasks According to Apple, every Mac running Mac OS X is supposed to perform maintenance tasks in the background. Mac OS X periodically runs background tasks that, in part, remove system files that are no longer needed. You could just leave your Mac turned on every night. We'll show you how to do that with a third-party application. Oh, and in case you're interested, you can manually force the background maintenance tasks to run by typing some commands into the Terminal. OnyX Free - This free application is the Rolls Royce of Mac maintenance applications. Cocktail MacJanitor Macoroni

gt; Rulers I am very disappointed; Request Response by Ldsguy1 I was searching online to find the top mac apps for web developers, and this is one of those which I found. I loved the idea of a ruler which i could use to measure parts of screen resolution. It was an instabuy for me. Now that I have used the app, I instantly regret it. I either want this problem to be fixed, or I want a refund; preforably the latter. ...More Wow... by behind the mask This is exactly what I was looking for! I suspect the less-than-stellar reviews come from two camps: (a) People who refuse to take a few minutes to learn how the app works; and(b) People who refuse to take a few minutes to learn how the app works. One reviewer goes on and on about how he "can see not cursor." You don't need a cursor! I get it: We're spoiled, because many apps, these days, are self-explanatory. A few improvements are needed: I'm still exploring, so it's possible some of those items are already present. 5 stars.

Mailplane 2 Beta is Available | The Apple Blog For those of you who don’t know, Mailplane is an application that combines the best of two worlds: Gmail and your Mac. Mailplane is essentially Mail.app for your Gmail account. It allows all of the functionality of regular Gmail, but adds a lot to make life easier. You can compose, save and send email like in a regular browser, but application buttons allow you to compose, send, browse, reply, forward, and Mailplane even includes all of Gmail’s shortcuts. Sending pictures is way faster with drag-and-drop functionality and a media browser. If Gmail’s settings aren’t optimized for Mailplane, it will let you know, and then take you to the settings page that will enable the feature that you don’t have turned on, in my case, it took me to the Gmail shortcuts settings page. Uncomplex gmbh added more than 30 improvements to the program. Current users of Mailplane 1 will be upgraded to Mailplane 2 for free (very gentlemanly of them, don’t you think?)

Additionally, it provides advice and links to advice for troubleshooting certain Mac OS X performance problems. Comprehensive advice on this topic can be found in the "Performance" chapter of our book Troubleshooting Mac OS X. Optimizing Mac OS X performance RAM, RAM, and more RAM Mac OS X loves RAM. Maintain ample free space on your startup disk Mac OS X makes extensive use of Virtual Memory (VM), which requires free disk space on your startup disk, aka your boot volume. See our "Problems from insufficient RAM and free hard disk space" FAQ to determine if you have sufficient RAM and free disk space to get the best performance from Mac OS X. Turn off the eye candy While I imagine everyone is impressed the first time they see a window minimized to the Dock with the Genie effect, this entertainment has a performance cost.

How To: Spending Time in the Front Row The second reason I didn’t try Front Row immediately is that I generally don’t like watching video on the computer. I prefer to watch anything longer than a few minutes on a television rather than a monitor. At the time, we had an older television that wouldn’t have connected easily to a computer. What Front Row Does and How It Does It Think of Front Row as something of a media conductor following a musical score. When I launched Front Row for the first time I noticed that, unlike many other applications, there are no preferences to set. Front Row’s Limitations—And a Few Solutions I’ve only been using Front Row for a short time, but I’ve already discovered a few limitations. Content is Played Back on the Primary Monitor As I mentioned recently when discussing dual monitors, most of the time, your Mac won’t care which display is the primary one, but sometimes it makes a difference. Limited Flexibility in Locating Content Videos Must Be in Certain Places Locating Content With an Alias

Easy, innovative interface Add, edit, and delete with ease Simple and easy to use budgeting Export for Cha-Ching , iBank , etc! Hands On: Easy Mac Maintenance | Software Just like your car, your Mac needs routine maintenance in order to run smoothly. Unlike your car, your Mac can perform some of this maintenance on its own. Two important tasks to perform regularly are Disk Utility's Repair Permissions and OS X's Unix maintenance scripts. Repair Permissions ensures that system-level files have the correct privileges set; this is important because incorrect permissions can prevent applications from launching, cause problems with printing, and even affect startup. OS X's Unix maintenance scripts perform tasks that free up disk space and keep the OS tidy by updating and backing up databases, cleaning out temporary files, and cleaning up system logs. You should occasionally run Repair Permissions and the maintenance scripts when you boot your Mac into OS X. Schedule Repair Permissions 1. CronniX gives you an easy-to-use interface for working with crontabs. You'll notice that the default crontab already has three entries; I'll talk about them later. 2. 1. 2.

The 30 Best Mac Apps You’ve Never Heard Of Posted 07/16/2008 at 9:59am | by Johnathon Williams Would it surprise you to learn that the coolest Mac software out there wasn’t created by Adobe, Microsoft, or even Apple? We expose the most useful but least-well-known apps you should be running on your Mac to get more done, have more fun, and make more of the time you spend in front of the computer. When it comes to software, using a Mac is an exercise in irony. Productivity and OrganizationWe could all use a few more hours in the day. 1. Anxiety takes the dread out of task management with its smart design. This clever task manager single-handedly converted us to using the task functions in iCal and Apple Mail. Our primary complaint with this app is the way it handles due dates: We wish it were done within Anxiety itself, instead of within iCal or Mail, and it would be nice to have the option to let finished tasks remain, crossed out, in the window. 2. FileChute makes sharing files online cut-and-paste easy. 3. 4. 5. Put up your dukes!
