- Look for “Calculate all sizes“, and check it, then close the View Options window (click on the tiny circle on the top left edge of the window). Now it might take a second or three for the Mac to actually figure out all the sizes, but the Finder window will begin to show the sum size of everything in the different directories.
- Mac OS lets you turn on so-called “full keyboard access”, but there are still many things you can’t do with the keyboard (try moving from the Calendars pane to the Day/Week/Month View pane in iCal, for example, or activating the all-important Scan button in Image Capture).
- In conclusion, both the Reeder and the Twitter app suggest this: We have a future that is the iOS-ification of Mac OS X (and previewed in 10.7), but the roots of the Mac OS will never be forgotten. In fact, the design is one of the many things that makes people come back and love the experience.

Assuming you have installed Docker on the Ubuntu Guest OS and Docker client on Mac OS X using brew minutes apart – you would have the latest version and they would be the same. The versions have to be identical for this to work. Now you are set to access Docker commands from the Mac OS terminal, run the same command as above $ Mac OS X.

Moving files in Mac OS X is not as simple as it was in Mac OS 9 days (prior to 2004, not to be confused with the 2013 released Mac OS X 10.9), and is different from Windows as well.
Before deleting or moving any files you are uncertain of, be sure to make at least two backups of your critical data.
Files with a period as a prefix (i.e. .profile, and .DS_Store), should not be renamed or moved. These are files that are otherwise invisible in Mac OS X and help Mac OS X manage the system itself.
Don't delete or move mach files that appear when you double click the hard disk icon.
User folders must have their name maintained if you expect to be able to use X again. So if you first setup your Mac OS X account on setup as JSmith, don't rename or move the JSmith folder from the Users folder. We'll assume your user folder here on in your Users folder is your JSmith folder for example purposes only.
Unix defines directories and subdirectories by /es. So when I say /Users/JSmith/Documents/, that means you double click hard drive, double click Users, Double click JSmith, and double click Documents folder to get there from Mac OS 9. In Mac OS X View by columns allows you to navigate folders by single clicking on them, but they maintain the same hierarchy.
Don't delete or move files within System and Library folders appearing when you first double click your hard disk. Don't delete or move .App files in your Applications folder, these are Mac OS X native applications.
Don't delete or move files in your /Users/JSmith/Documents or /Users/JSmith/Library folder. Spacemaster mac os. Be aware that by default Mac OS X may set itself to put your iTunes music in /Users/JSmith/Music though that can be changed in the preferences, and iPhoto in /Users/JSmith/Pictures/
You can freely move the contents of these files and folders about, though not necessarily their subfolders (unless you created the folder):
/Applications Mac OS 9 - though I would test to make sure the application works after moving it. If it doesn't then move it back.
/Documents
/Users/JSmith/Library/Favorites/
/Users/JSmith/Movies
/Users/JSmith/Sites
/Users/JSmith/ (except its default subfolders)
Observing all these rules will prevent headaches in the future.
Additionally, you can safely delete Log files, but not the folders that own them. There is a nightly script that runs to delete them in Mac OS X as
long as you are in screen saver, but not always in Energy Saver, or they are deleted right after the machine wakes from sleep. The latter function could
explain the lag to wake from sleep. Those log files can be deleted if you are running low on space. But they could make it hard to troubleshoot issues that happened when they were last modified.
System Cache files should not be deleted unless your system is backed up, as they could impact the ability of programs to launch.
If you find you must access any of the Mac OS X only folders while in 9 or running an application in Classic, return to X, and quit Classic and repair permissions (links to Apple knowledgebase explaining how to repair permissions)
Note for Windows users: Mac OS X has two file locations that are nothing more than shortcuts. The translucent bar, known as the Dock, and the left Finder Window sidebar. That means do not assume when you drag to either location that a file is safely residing in some other folder, than the source folder you just dragged from. Unlike Windows, it is not! Also installer packages create virtual disks that dismount when you reboot. Those virtual disks contain folders that you sometimes have to drag to the hard drive Applications folder for them to be usable always. Otherwise you have to remount the image to get access to the application. Dragging the application from the image to the shortcut bar, or the Dock will NOT install it. Well packaged applications include their own installer proram to avoid this problem. If you drag to the Dock, expect it only to represent a shortcut to wherever you dragged it from. It is not safe deleting it from the source location if you want access to it again!
Having used both Windows and Mac OS X over the years, there’s little doubt in my mind that my Mac is, overall, nicer to use than any Windows PC. And of course, this is a Mac blog, so many of my posts invariably end up singing the praises of Macs and all things Apple.
However, as it’s the season of goodwill and all, I thought it fitting to redress the balance and list 10 things that Windows does better than Mac OS…
1. Windows is more customizable
Change the desktop theme – including wallpaper, taskbar, window styles and fonts – to anythingyoulike. Try doing that on a Mac.
2. Windows is more compatible
Let’s face it – practically all software and peripherals out there support Windows. (Though the Mac is getting better all the time in this regard.)
3. Choose your own hardware
With Windows you’re not tied into one manufacturer with a limited product range like you are with Mac OS (Psystar notwithstanding). On a budget? Any cheap clone will run Windows. Want something that exactly matches your lifestyle or situation? The range of PC options is huge so you’re bound to find something that suits.
4. Better keyboard shortcuts
You can access any menu option in a Windows app with 2 or 3 keystrokes, and they’re the same standard keystrokes on any Windows PC. With Mac apps you’re limited to the shortcuts chosen by the app developer. (You can add your own shortcuts on a per-app basis, but then you have to remember which shortcuts you’ve added for each app. And what happens if you get a new Mac, or use a friend’s? You have to redo all your shortcuts again!)
Furthermore, you can access pretty much all controls in any Windows dialog or window via the keyboard. Mac OS lets you turn on so-called “full keyboard access”, but there are still many things you can’t do with the keyboard (try moving from the Calendars pane to the Day/Week/Month View pane in iCal, for example, or activating the all-important Scan button in Image Capture).
5. Sensible use of navigation keys
Fantasy war (damien corre) mac os. I know I’ve been over this before, and it’s largely a “personal taste” thing, but after nearly 3 years of using the Mac I still can’t get my head around using the finger-twisting Command-Left Arrow to go the beginning of a line, and Command-Right Arrow to go the end of the line. Not to mention the Home, End, Page Up and Page Down keys that scroll without moving the cursor. Arrrgh. Windows uses these keys much more sensibly in my opinion.
6. More useful file manager
Finder can’t cut and paste files or give you a 2-pane tree view of your files and folders. Windows Explorer can, and jolly useful these functions are, too.
7. More flexible open/save dialogs
Speaking of file management, Windows open and save dialogs let you rename and delete files and folders; add new files and folders; open a selected file in another app for viewing/editing; open a selected folder in Windows Explorer; and manipulate image files:
Mac’s open/save dialogs merely let you select a file and create a new folder. Not nearly as useful.
8. Much bigger range of games
I’d love to play a lot of games on my Mac, but sadly there just isn’t the range that there is for Windows. And when you do get a game for the Mac, it’s often a second-rate port of the Windows version.
9. Easier to get help
Eat All The Things Mac Os 11
There are many more Windows users than Mac users. If you get stuck with your Windows PC, chances are you know someone round the corner (or their kid!) who can help you fix it. With a Mac, you might be struggling.
10. Windows Media Center does more than Front Row
Media Center lets you watch and record live TV and/or radio (with a suitable card), and you can do a lot more thanks to plugins. It also works with a mouse if you want it to. Can’t do any of things with Front Row (the Apple Remote is nice though).
So there you have it. Macs may be lovely, but there are some things that Microsoft simply does better! Not that I’ll be trading in my iMac for a Dell just yet.
