OS X Mavericks :: One Way Recursive Folder Comparison?
Sep 10, 2014
I have two folders, A and B. Folder A has about 1000 images organized in subfolders. Folder B has about 10,000 images in different subfolders. Ultimately, I would like to delete anything in Folder A that is also in Folder B.
I know about the Diff terminal command, but is there anyway to complete a one way comparison? In other words, I know there are about 9000 images in folder B that are not in Folder A, and I do not want to wait for Diff to compare the two folders and produce a several thousand item long list that includes those images.

After my experiments with Applescript and Automator there was some folder created with another folder inside consist of first folder consist of second folder consist of first folder and so on. Placed it to trash and tried to empty - but without results. Tried emptying with option key, tried secure emptying, tried rm -rf ~/.Trash command and also
cd ~/.Trash sudo rm -r `ls -a` and also other variants with rm - no results. There are no any error messages (like "files in use"), just nothing happens. 10.5.8. Disk permissions are all ok. Shot of trash with folders opened to some deep.

I have a hard drive on my 2008 MacPro that's problematic and so I bought a new drive and installed Mavericks on it and am booting just fine on the new drive. There is however, one folder in the Library/Preferences folder that I need to copy over to the new drive. All the tricks for accessing the Library folder work great on the start up drive, but I can't seem to access the Library folder on the old drive (both drives in the MacPro as it has 4 drive bays), even though the drive will mount. How can I see that Library folder on the old drive? Note while I can mount the old drive, I can't boot to it.

My home folder appears to have gone missing from the Users folder in finder. See screenshot - I can see the test account I created and the shared folder but not my home folder.
I can still access my home folder via the sidebar but this causes problems with some software not being able to see my home folder in their browsers (Nikon Capture NX2 being an example).
Info:
OS X Mavericks (10.9.4)

have a speed comparison between a RAID 0, 1, 5, and possibly a 01 on the new Mac Pro. I found a few reviews from other manufacturers, but I was interested in how read / write speeds for the Mac Pro and the Apple RAID card stack up. I'm particularly interested in how much slower a RAID 5 is then a RAID 0.

Is it normal for SSDs to use the same or more power as a HD?
SSD
An OWC Mercury Exreme Pro 40GB SSD uses 2.2W-2.5W when active.
A WD SiliconEdge Blue 64GB SSD uses 2W when reading and 3.5W when writing.
An OCZ VERTEX 2 40GB SSD uses 2W when in operation.
HD
A WD Scorpio Blue (5400rpm, 2.5") 250GB HD uses 2.5W when writing/reading.
A WD Scorpio Black (7200rpm, 2.5") 250GB HD uses 2.5W when writing/reading.
A Hitachi Travelstar 5K750 (5400rpm, 2.5") 500GB HD uses 1.4W when writing/reading.

Does anyone have any comparisons of disk performance under OS X and Windows? The reason I ask: I've come to notice that the sound of disks being accessed is very different under the two OS varieties*. So much so, I can recognize the OS in use merely by the sound of the disk! So, I'm led to wonder: which OS on a Mac Pro has better disk read/write speeds?
* - Really rather rough and silly descriptions follow
Windows - snow being crunched underfoot
OS X - a spun coin settling on a table

The 32-bit Snow Leopard kernel can run both 32-bit and 64-bit apps. The biggest bang for the buck is running 64-bit applications.

I have recently purchased my first Mac a few months ago. While I use a Windows PC at work and had previously used a Windows PC and home, I was frustrated with the home laptop and switched to a Mac. Now my question is, I am looking for a Word Doc and Spreadsheet application for personal use at home and I am not sure which to get, MS Office for Mac or IWorks. I currently use Word and Excel (and am pretty familiar with both) at work and previously at home. I do basic like writing letters, expense spreadsheet calculations, account listing, etc. I would also like to be able to sent Word and Excel docs from my work computer (in MS Office for Windows) to my home computer and be able to work and edit them and send them back. Not sure if IWorks would let me do that, or if MS Office for Mac is the way to go.

I am replacing a MacBook Pro HD with a Seagate Momentus 500gb HD. The Apple one is reconized but semi corrupted, the Seagate one isn't even reconized. The onl difference between the two that I notice is the side slot on the far right of the Seasgate. Do I need a differenct type of replacement HD or could it be the HD cord? the one on the left is the Seagate
Info:
MacBook Pro (13-inch Mid 2009), Mac OS X (10.7.3)

I have looked at the online material for Aperature and Lightroom and am not sure if either of these will allow me to do this. I have been using finder but that is a painful process as I need to have 11 windows open and keep jumping back and forth between windows. There has to be a more efficient way to get through this.
So, I am curious if either of the programs I mentioned would do the trick, or some other software? Programs like PSE really don't help for this. Adobe Bridge was somewhat useful but also needs multiple copies of the program running at the same time to use multiple folders.

I have a G3 iBook 700Mhz, 384MB, 20GB with 16MB VRAM. I really want Tiger, but am a bit worried about buying it, installing it, and then finding it runs real bad. So can anyone put my mind at rest? Anyone here have experience of Tiger running on a similar spec machine? In particular, how does it cope with spotlight and dashboard - and do the traditional features, like Expose still work really well? And how does Safari compare speed wise? If it is as fast or faster than Panther, then I will be ordering Tiger later today.

I had returned the unibody Macbook I bought last December primarily due to the low quality screen. I'm wondering if anyone has comparison photos between the two (especially at different viewing angles), as I'm seriously considering purchasing the 13" again.

there are a lot of Airport Express threads going around but since I didnt want to hijack anyone else's thread I thought I would start a new one. I need a router very soon and was hoping to get the Airport Extreme since the majority of the computers in the house are Macs. My friend was gifted an Airport Extreme MB763LL/A and was offering it to me for $105 brand new sealed. I am pretty sure that this is not the new model and was wondering what the differences were between this one and the new model and whether it was worth the extra movie.
I think the main difference is the gigabit ethernet but as a noob I am not exactly sure the benefit of having it. Would streaming high definition files to the Apple TV become a problem? Also does this model has simultaneous dual band. Amazon states that it does but I wanted to make sure. Finally, the computer that is going to be hardwired is actually a PC. Does this matter in the setup? Can I set it up using a Mac even though it wont be hard wired to the router.

I am looking for some (prefer free) software that will compare 2 directories and tell me what is different in each dir or what files are missing.
Dir #1 has File 1,2,3,4,5
Dir #2 has File 1,2,3
I am looking for a program that will tell me dir 2 is missing files 4 and 5.

Obviously, the Momentus XT will be faster because of its Hybrid structure with the 4gb SSD cache, but how much faster in reality compared to the 1TB drive. I'm coming from the stock 250GB HDD in the 13in MBP (Mid 2009) and am looking to upgrade. Just don't know which to get as I would like speed and more space.

Working with OSX Mavericks 10.9.1. Can't update b/c I'm not an admin.
We know how to make a new folder, and then change its icon by going into the Get Info panel, and dragging an object on the desktop into that upper section.
When we do this with a jpeg, what happens is that the icon of the new folder becomes the default icon for a jpeg. Is there any way to change the folder icon into the thumbnail of that specific jpeg?

Exactly how much of an upgrade is the choice of a NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GS w/512MB GDDR3 over the default ATI Radeon HD 2600 PRO w/256MB GDDR3 in the 24" iMac? Is it worth the $150 cost bump?

I know that there's already at least two threads on this, but one seems to be geared towards just one specific converter, and the other is almost 1000 posts long, so what I wanted to do here is to make a thread which is a comprehensive comparison between the available adapters.

I know there's been plenty of discussion about how hot the new MBP's are running or not (I've been through all the threads, and really appreciated Scott666's posts abt his i7 MBP) but I still havent seen any exact head to head temperature comparison between the 15" i5 2.4/2.53ghz and the 15" i7 2.66ghz, with both running the same programs/being stressed equally while the readings are taken.
I know it's a hassle, but it's a huge investment for me and i'd ideally like the i7 as I edit video but can't always have access to a desk to prevent crispy fried legs I keep hearing sweeping statements like 'the i5 should run cooler' but no real comparison has been done...

I'm looking to pick up a cheap mono laser printer with duplex and have narrowed the choice down to two. The Oki B410d and the Brother HL-5340D. They're both low-end with relatively similar price except the Oki is a LED printer and the Brother is a laser. With reliability the biggest issue here, has anyone had any experience with either brand or heard any stories?

Is there a chart or something like that where I can compare my battery health to? These are my specs, and I was just wondering if they are "normal."
MBP 13" Mid - 2009
Battery Loadcycles - 80
Age - 8 Months
Current Battery Capacity - 85%
I tried calibrating my battery twice in that past two days to see if the capacity will jump, but it has not.
