iOS5 Update Calendar Events Duplicated (Easy Fix)

Just downloaded the latest iOS from Apple, and everything seemed to have gone smoothly except for the fact that the calendar on my phone had a duplicate of all events.

I checked my phone sync settings on iTunes and noticed that I had the “Sync iCal Calendars” box selected.

How to View and Edit Hidden Files on Mac (.htaccess, etc…)

Update: Screw everything I just said.

My friend who helped out in the last post I made, helped out again with this one.

Screw Houdini (the program I tell you to get below), get TotalFinder instead. Then to show hidden files, open up the finder, then CMD+Shift+”.” (minus quotes). Kick ass. [Continue reading...]

MySQL Server Won’t Start on MAMP (RED LIGHT!) Mac OSX

If you can’t figure out why the MySQL Server won’t turn on if you’re using MAMP to do local development work, it could be because there are conflicting instances of a process called “mysqld” running on your system. [Continue reading...]

Speed Up OSX Magic Mouse Tracking Speed

If you need to speed up the tracking speed on your Mac, specifically if you’re using Apple’s Magic Mouse, then there is a sweet, free little app that will do just that for you in a matter of seconds.

Windows 7 Aero Snap Feature on Mac

I’ve just re-converted to Mac (for probably the third time). Coming from Windows 7, there were several probably two features that I missed significantly when I made this last and most likely final switch to Mac. One of those features was the ability to snap windows to the side of the screen (windows aero snap).

I couldn’t stand manually dragging the windows on my Mac to fill the screen, or to fill half the screen when trying to compare two separate documents next to each other at the same time. Turns out, some crafty devil created an app called BetterSnapTool that mimics the Windows 7 Snap window resizing functionality beautifully, if not better than Windows does it. For only $1.99, you can’t go wrong with this app.

I’m not making a penny if you buy this app, just thought I’d share. I don’t want your pennies. I’ll take dollars, though!

BetterSnapTool

P.S. this software is better & cheaper than Cinch. I tried Cinch before BST and BST is far superior. Oh, and did I mention, cheeper?

I Ran Out Of Swear Words, So …

I had to borrow some from here: http://bit.ly/gJBFch My friend just had an iPhone app approved and it provides sissy baskets of fun. It’s called Sailor, and it automatically mixes and matches different combinations of words together so that you don’t have to spend the time trying to think of insults and swear words on [...]
