OS X Technologies :: Adding Folder Alias To Finder Sidebar In Lion With Apple-script?
Jun 11, 2012I am creating 2 AppleScripts to automate mounting Windows shared drives on Lion Macbook Airs. The first creates an alias on the user's desktop to the user's shared drive. This is functional and doing what I want it to do. The 2nd script attempts to create a favorite to the alias in Finder's sidebar. Unfortunately, I can't seem to get this script to work.Â

OS X :: How To Remove Alias (arrow) Symbol For Alias Icons
Jul 23, 2008I want to create stacks for my Applications and put them in the dock by type. Utilities, Music & Video, iLife, etc. I think what I will do is make aliases for all the applications and put them in subfolders separate from the Applications folder, so then I have these 3-6 subfolders in my dock as stacks that I can display in Grid or Fan mode. And I don't have to see all my applications in one jumbled Grid and search for them.
Yes, I know Spotlight or QuickSilver could access them differently.
My question is, when I have created this duplicate system with the aliases to the apps, how do I remove the Alias (arrow) portion of the icon so that they look just like the actual icon down in the stack (or in my subfolders, etc)?
MacBook Pro :: Adding SSD And Moving HDD To Optical Drive?
Jun 28, 2014I have an early 2011 MBP unibody design.
Current Specs...Â
*2.3Ghz Dual Core Intel Core i5
*8GB 1333Mhz DDR3 Ram (Upgraded from 4GB)
*320GB SATA Hard DriveÂ
At the moment it has a 320gb hard drive (installed stock by apple). I am planning to remove the hard drive, install a Samsung 840 Evo 250gb SSD into the internal drive bay and then use an optical drive caddy to also keep the 320gb hard drive in my computer.Â
How to install the SSD and set it up with the OS and a few applications however keep my personal files and media on the 320gb hard drive. Â
What would the be the best way of re-installing the OS onto my newly formatted SSD?
How would I set up my MBP properly to save certain files (e.g. caches etc) to the HD or SSD?
what the read/write speeds will be like for the SSD (does my MBP support SATA 3?)?

View 1 Replies View RelatedITunes :: Keeps Syncing Apps Even When Option Turned Off
Mar 23, 2012So yesterday, after a good experience with iCloud backup and sync I decided to delete all my apps from iTunes library. I saved nearly 50GB (!). I decided to not sync apps from my iPad and iPhone to iTunes, so I unmarked that option on every device when connected to itunes. I only want to keep syncing TV Shows, Movies, Books and Photos from Aperture library. The problem is that every time I sync my device with iTunes, iTunes starts downloading apps from my iDevices (but not all of them). I've also turned off automatic downloading in iTunes/Preferences/Store, tried to sync via cable, wifi.

IMac (Intel) :: Moving Apps From One Display To Another Using Trackpad
Dec 4, 2014I have an iMac that I have a second display hooked up to it. I can move an app (say Safari for example) from one display to another with my Magic Mouse. However, I also have a Magic Trackpad that I would like to do the same thing with, but I cannot figure out for the life of me how to do it. I'd really rather use the trackpad than the mouse because it's more comfortable to me.Â

OS X :: How To Get IChat Alias
Jun 8, 2009I realize that iChat has tie-ins with the address book, so you can take people from there, which I'm sure is great if you use the address book.
There's a standard aim protocol feature that allows you to set aliases for people on your buddy list that is NOT stored locally.
This means I can set their alias on AIM 5.9 in windows, reboot into Linux, open up kopete, see that alias, close kopete, open up pidgin, see that alias, reboot into OS X, start adium, see that alias, etc.

Jan 5, 2007I restored one disk onto another disk using Disk Utility and now I have three aliases on my hard drive called "var", "tmp" and "etc". I know what you're thinking... those are part of the Unix background in Mac OS X and I am smart enough to know that I cannot delete them, so my question is. How the heck can I hide them. I really don't like seeing them there. Other than that, my new drive is running fine.

OS X :: Running Two Applications From One Icon / Alias?
Aug 4, 2010recently got myself a macbook pro and learning the OS still, I'm used to XP. I've found a program I want to run whenever iTunes starts, however I don't want either to run at startup. I know aliases are probably going to be the way to do it but have searched a lot and found nothing. On windows I know how to create an shortcut that when activated, it starts up two programs at once, I assumed there was something similar for OS X? Is there any way to create or alter an icon so it starts 2 programs at once? Ideally I'd have it in the dock and looking like iTunes, but it starts both iTunes and the other app.
View 2 Replies View RelatedSoftware :: Creating An Alias Via Terminal?
May 14, 2008I needed an alias from a PrefPane in my user area. I figured a symlink would do. So in Terminal I did a ln -s with the proper user directory and all looked good, it appears.
But the system threw an error when I tried to click it. It offered to repair the �alias� or delete it, so I opted to repair it, still didn�t work, errors. I tried twice then threw in the towel, enabled root, logged into the GUI and created an alias the normal way, that�s fine.
I�m still wondering about the command line procedure though. It would be a link from a user area to an area owned by root and I�m guessing that�s the issue.

OS X V10.7 Lion :: Files Are Being Turned Into An Alias?
Apr 17, 2012I am having some trouble with some new iMacs that are running Lion. Sometimes they will turn a file into an alias. It replaces the original with the alias and will not allow me to access the file any longer like the original is completely missing. It seems to be random, it does not happen to one type of file or any one program. It has happened on our servers (when copying pdfs and saving indesign files) and also locally. I was able to find a temporary fix by downloading path finder and unchecking the "alias bit" option. This seems to fix the issue at hand, but I need a more permanent solution, or at least something I can tell my users to avoid doing.
