Thanks, this will help a lot.

This will save a lot of bookmarks in my "How-to for Mac" bookmarks folder. At least until I do everything enough times for it to become 2nd nature like they are after almost 14 years on a windows machine.

Slokunshialgo will become famous soon enough
Took me this long to actually look over it (I usually just very quickly skim through everything that is long, just a thing with me and my semi-visual mind). But I have to say, awesome work! Definitely more than I put into mine, and worthy of the stickiness it has received.

And to close: Thanks for the credit!

no problem! i should link yours actually too in the helpful threads...

yours had a much more real language feel and a gives a good feel for what things are, not just how to use them. perhaps a mild edit/rewrite to focus your thread in that way is in order? either way, i'll throw a link your way...

This link might help some users who are a bit more savvy with computer jargon.

OSX FAQ - Mac OS X Unix Tutorial - Advanced Mac OS X Unix - Mac OS X How Tos

Some Terminal stuff there but also great explanations on simple things like why the trash doesn't always empty when you want it to.

OSXFAQ Mac OS X Tutorials

A great read I find. :girl:

I just found this pretty handy widget: Maintidget.

What is it?

Quote:
Maintidget (Maintenance Scripts Widget) is a Dashboard Widget which provides the following functions:
  • Display the last time the daily, weekly, and monthly OS X Maintenance Scripts (a.k.a Cron Tasks) were run.
  • Run the OS X Maintenance Scripts on demand. Just enter your password and click the Run Scripts button. Maintidget is the first Dashboard Widget to provide this feature!
System Requirements:
Mac OS X 10.4.3 or later
It's in Universal Binary code so this means it runs natively on PowerPC and Intel-based Macs.

major revisions/reorg tonight.

  • added a new f.a.q. catagory and split the basic info and troubleshooting into two distinct catagories.
  • moved around some of the Q&As to more appropriate areas.
  • added some basic info (spotlight, menubar, etc).
  • very minor asthetic change - changed section headers and main title to black from gray.
