Re: The official thread for any and all discussion related to Apple Macs.
First of all, I'm no Mac Genius. That is just a custom user title I gave myself but it does not mean that my knowledge about Macs is enough for me to qualify as a genius.
Second, where do you live?
Third, there is no such thing as essential DMGs. Basically, you download what you want to use. Two good websites I can recommend are:
*www.macupdate.com/
*guide.apple.com/universal/
And this is from the first page:
Milind is sick right now. When he'll be healthy again, he'll chip in with his own recommendations. If you want an application for doing something and cannot find it, tell me. I'll show you to it.

Re: The official thread for any and all discussion related to Apple Macs.
You can do one thing.
1) I guess you have only 1 big partition in your HD in which Mac OS X is installed. Use iPartiton or Volume Works to make another partition in your Mac HD.
2) Now you have 2 partitions, copy everything that u want to backup to the other HD. In Mac OS X you cannot change the location of Pictures, Music & Movies folder I guess, so make another folder on the new partition & copy files there. Do this to make the Mac's OS partition as slim as possible.
3) Go to disk utility & create a copy of your OS Partition, in the new partition. It will be saved as a very big .dmg file. This is why I said, slim your Mac OS X installation disk. Then burn this into a DVD
4) If you have an external Harddisk, then make a Mac OS X Journled extended partition in that harddisk & use RsyncX to make a complete OS Backup in the external HD's partition.
Some of the essential softwares for Mac OS X which I use. You needs might be differend
1) Uno 1.52....a must have for Mac
2) Maccam, if you have a webcam
3) iGetter download manager
4) Transmission for torrent files
5) Perian 1.0 & FlipforMac
6) AC3 decoder
7) 1Passwd, if you use some browser other then Safari.
8 ) Filecutter
9) Service Scurbber
10) App cleaner, the uninstaller which Apple forgot to bundle.
11) Monolingual & Xslimmer...a must have. This alone will save lots of Harddisk space.
12) Skim PDF reader
13) Stuffit Expander
14) BrunAgain DVD for making multisession DVDs
15) Candybar, shashifter & Pixadex

New Parallels Beta adds support for iPhone, other enhancements
Posted Aug 2nd 2007 9:00PM by Chris Ullrich
I love the iPhone and I love virtualization software like Parallels to run Windows on my Mac. But until now I couldn't get my two loves together if I needed to sync my iPhone with Windows while running it in Parallels. Well, according to the official Parallels blog, that problem may now be a thing of the past due to recent improvements in the software. At the site, they detail information concerning the latest beta release of their software which contains a host of new and improved features.
Among these new and improved features are a fix for Coherence Windows which now will work in Expose' and a fix for the Image Tool to allow it to work with snapshotted drives. Other changes include improvements to the Parallels' Explorer tool which allows you to view information on your virtual hard drive even when Parallels isn't running and, of course, the previously mentioned ability to sync your IPhone with Windows XP or Vista running in Parallels.
All of the other improvements seem like good ones but you're probably asking yourself why would someone want to sync an iPhone with Windows in Parallels when they can just sync it to the Mac OS? Well, the answer is also found at the Parallels blog, as written by Ben Rudolph. "Yes, I realize the irony of syncing an Apple device with Windows running on a Mac, but lots of people need to hook their iPhones up to Outlook. Try not to judge." Sounds reasonable to me.

Awesome update! gx_saurav was asking me why I keep Windows around. This is why. I just love to test these awesome new features that keep cropping up at lightening speed in both Parallels and VMWare Fusion.

Re: The official thread for any and all discussion related to Apple Macs.
Read my post please. You might find the answer somewhere there.
BTW, I have to say something. gx_saurav, for the first time in his life, was right about something related to Macs. UNO is an awesome application and the consistency of sunken unified GUI looks awesome. I have tried various ShapeShifter themes but have always found that the default GUI looks best. So I wasn't too keen to try UNO. However, seeing as Apple themselves are headed in that direction with Leopard, I decided to give it a try. I'm pleased I did. My Mac, if it is even possible, looks sexier than ever before.

, you really don't know how to customise. An eye opener for you.....

Thats 100% Windows Vista. I didn't change the icons to Ekisho, if I do that...u will say, its 100% Mac OS X
This just in. Since Mac OS X does not gives u an option to hide some file or folders, you need a 3rd party application to do this. Presenting Altomac Hide Folders
Ah! how ignorant u r. Didn't I corrected u by saying that Apple isn't using EFI from 2001aryayush said:
Lolz, so you installed UNO just cos Apple is doing the same

Re: The official thread for any and all discussion related to Apple Macs.
Mac OS X does, however, provide the much better and safer option of making encrypted disk images and putting your private files there.
You just arrange your desktop that way for screenshots. It is almost impossible to use Windows without a task bar and a dock instead. What about all your complaints about the dock? What about it not grouping windows together? What about not liking the default look of Mac OS X? Even your wallpaper is the same but with a different hue. This is what I call "thook ke chaatna"!

Re: The official thread for any and all discussion related to Apple Macs.
Bitlocker file encryption, Folder security in Vista. Nope u have no idea what they are.
Try on your WIndows installation. We can work even without the taskbar with dock installed
You think I m using that UI & dekstop on my Vista? I did this just to show how much we can mould the Windows UI to our choice or El Jobso's choice.
Thats a different wallpaper all together from deviantart
Arya, Some month ago : Consistent UI in an OS is bad. Different skins for different apps make it easier to use & identify.
Arya , today : Consistent UI is good, cos Steve Jobs said so.
This is what I call......"the phrase"
You mean encrypted partitions? Can I password protect it? Can I hide it from showing in disk utility? Can I hide it from opening by Go->"type address here"

Re: The official thread for any and all discussion related to Apple Macs.
2. I had not seen what a consistent UI looked like before Leopard came along and since the UI on my Mac looked good anyway, I did not bother with the consistency.
The only mistake I did was acknowledge that you were right, for once. I don't know, I just prefer being truthful.
I'm not blaming Windows. Don't start again.
Did I say you cannot do it in Vista!gx_saurav said:
Which just proves my point. The default UI is what works best because the software engineers who wrote the OS have a far better understanding of the software than you do.gx_saurav said:

Yes. You can make a new disk image from Disk Utility and choose to encrypt it with a password. When you click on the DMG, you'll have to enter the password before it will mount. After it has mounted, it is just like a normal disc/partition. You can open it on other Macs too if you have the password but not on Windows.gx_saurav said:
