Saturday, March 24, 2012. HIUTIL Using 90 % CPU. You may run into this issue after upgrading to Lion or after doing some system maintenance that deletes the Help system files (same thing with Spotlight which is managed by mdworker). If that happens, just let it run until it's finished. Apple OS X 10.7 Lion Installation Guide and Usage Tips – Including How to Create a Bootable DVD or USB Drive ResourcesForLife.com. My hiutil is missing. Can I do without it? Or should i reinstal it? Thanks a lot - Maria.

Sunday, October 23, 2011. IPhoto No Longer Recognizing iPhone? If you moved to iOS 5 on your iPhone and downloaded the latest version of iPhoto (that allows for Photo Stream using iCloud), you may have noticed that your iPhone is no longer recognized by iPhoto when you physically plug it into a Mac running Lion. iOS 5 brought all sorts of new features, including WiFi sync and automatic download of your phone's new. These new features and conveniences can create a problem if you had old. I had what seems ...

Shaniac-i-Mac: June 2010

Sunday, June 27, 2010. Use Only One Partition for AirPort Extreme (802.11n) Disks. Turns out that using more than one volume per disk connected to an Airport Extreme isn't a good idea. May explain some of my issues. The AirPort Extreme (802.11n) and Time Capsule work with most disks that are not software RAID volumes (no more than one volume per physical disk). AirPort Extreme (802.11n) and Time Capsule: USB storage device supported formats and protocols. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

If you're like me (forced to use Wind-bloze at work while using all Macs at home), you may need this to transfer files back and forth using NTFS (not this f*cking sh*t) drives. Modern Macs can read pure NTFS volumes but can't write to them. How-to: Read and Write NTFS Windows Partition on Mac OS X. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Sunday, October 10, 2010. Be Smart with Smart Folders. Most of us don't use OS X to its fullest potential. Here are some great tips for getting the most out of Smart Folders. I have several of these set up, including for System File searches, PDFs, and Preferences. It's kind of like a searching shortcut. Want to keep track of all documents you have greater than 500MB in size? All your OpenType fonts? If you can set up a search for something in the Finder, you can make a smart folder for it too.

Sunday, August 28, 2011. OS X Lion: Syncing Contacts with iPhone. I guess you're thinking that this will be another commentary on OS X Lion's really ugly, new Address Book interface. Along the lines of Lion's equally ugly, new iCal interface. No, it won't be that, although I am among those who don't like the change to the faux leather look (a GUI design idea that went stale about 10 years ago). To really clean up my Snow Leopard install, and then I proceeded to use Carbon Copy Cloner. I looked through my...

Shaniac-i-Mac: Don't blow it Apple!
http://shaniacimac.blogspot.com/2006/01/dont-blow-it-apple.html
Thursday, January 26, 2006. Don't blow it Apple! I’m the first to espouse the uniqueness and fun of Apple’s products. From the very first Apple product I brought home and unwrapped in 1993 (my Mac Classic II), I’ve always appreciated the elegance of what Apple does, right down to the packaging (yes, I’m talking about the box and wrapping). Later, we saw instances of Powerbook and iBook battery and screen defects- more sloppiness, more legal haggling, and more expensive Apple service programs to address t...
