Whatever your situation is, if you need to test your RAM, Memtest OS X is the best tool for the job for your Mac. Yes, there's Memtest86+ - I always use that for all the PCs I own. However, there's a bug in Memtest86+ where it could give false positives on EFI machines (which all Intel Macs are).
Memtest, by the way, is open source. So why, then, do you have to pay to download it? You have to pay to download both the binary and the source. I believe this violates the GPL, which Memtest OS X, and Memtest before it, are released under.
So I'm attaching Memtest right here in this thread. Now you can download it for free, without having to pay. Unfortunately, I don't have the source .
I want to migrate my Parallels VM to VirtualBox. However, VB doesn't read Parallels VMs. I wanted to use the VMware converter, but the EULA says that it is only for use in migrating VMs for use in VMware software.
So, besides VMware converter, are there any other free tools that will let me convert my Parallels machine for use in VirtualBox? I am running Mac OS X 10.5.8.
I need to use a powerfull Find and Replace tool for text files. Something more powerfull than what we have in TextEdit, and lets you find generic words, and other options.
I am looking for a RAR archiver (don't ask why... because I used it a lot on my Windows machine) in order to create split RAR-archives. But there is no good RAR programme for the Macs! Yesterday I found RARMe and it has been working very well... Today it doesn't want to create archives anymore. I switched to Rarify, which is a very simple programme but it does what it has to do. The problem is that it is too simple and I still need some options... Could you tell me how YOU solve this problem of not having a good RAR-tool on OSX? Which programme is the best?
I've had a Mac Pro for 2.5 years. I've never run diagnostics or de-fragged the HD like I did with my old G4. I called AppleCare to ask if I should do this periodically (I have the Tech Tool "light" disk that came w/Apple Care, and I often hear ads for $99 Tech Tool Pro).
I have tried everything and can't seem to get it to run any command. seen screenshots of geek tool and would love to run terminal stuff in the background like that rather than in a terminal window.
I need a tool to convert an .AVI movie file with an .SRT subtitle file to a DVD format. I mean it should be able to authorise a DVD with the subtitles. Is there a good application that can do that? I HAVE looked on VersionTracker, but it's a friggin' jungle..
It does not matter what license it has. If it's a good app, I don't mind shelling out some $$$ for it.
I just bought a new HD for my MBP. However I would like a backup of the data on the boot camp partition before it gets replaced (on fri.). Does anyone know of a good tool to back up Windows? I have windows 7. It is barely bootable (there is only 13 mb left free) so if it can be a native Mac app it would be better. I have heard of WinClone, anyone had any luck with that?
Also is there any easy way to enlarge the boot camp partition when before of after it has been restored on the new HD?
Specs are: original mbp 15", osx 10.6.3 and Windows 7 boot camped.
I'm looking for some drawing software specialized in scientific and physics diagrams. I need to draw forces, vectors, tilted planes with sliding blocks and other schematics. I don't need the tool to do maths calculations or to plot functions, data manipulations, etc. Just a drawing tool for diagrams, schematics, with the usual arrows, vectorial symbols etc.
I can use to search Files and Folders on a Mac OS X system. I'm looking to search for files that contains parts of names, and specific sizes, and specific formats (.jpg, .pdf, ect..). and then while this search is going and doing it's "thing", is it possible that I can backup or copy the files to a different location from the search result?
This is crazy but an entire folder is missing from my tool bar menu. I looked in every folder as well as organized and unorganized folders but can't find it.
I've currently got an Amazon S3 account. I'm interested in having something run automagically which will back up my iPhotos and a bunch of other folders to it.
My boss accidentally deleted all the pics off of her digital camera's SD card and she's offering me $100 if I can retrieve them. There was an app I used a few years ago that was free to look at what pics it could recover, and then you paid to recover them but I can't remember what it was called.
I am running Quark 9 on a MacBook Pro using Lion and just noticed that after an update my tool bar and measurements bar are not showing up. The box opens up for the tools but you can't see anything in the box it's just grey. Same with the measurements. I've restarted the computer a few time, but no luck.
I cant seem to get the app store in the tool bar at the bottom. Ive tried updating the software but it says im all up to date. Can anyone help me please. I dont know what to do!
