Da Acquadro.it, leggiamo questo suggerimento su come trasferire le email da Outlook al vostro Mac:

Nel mio recente passaggio a MacOsX, uno dei problemi che ho dovuto risolvere è stato il trasferimento delle email dal vecchio PC ( Outlook Express su WinXp) a Mail di Apple. Ho installato un mail server sul PC (hMailServer),creato un account e trasferito dal O.E le email via IMAP in windows. Sul Mac ho aggiunto un nuovo account che puntasse al server mail installato e copiato in locale tutti i messaggi.

English version here

Gli iMac intel vecchio modello (bordo bianco e plastica trasparente) e i MacBook Pro, dispongono di una modalità di “sospensione” simile a quella di WindowsXP.  Sospettiamo che tale feature sia disponibile per tutti i mac intel venduti dal 2007.

La modalità di sospensione consente di salvare il contenuto della Ram su disco, e di spegnere completamente il computer.

Per attivarla è sufficiente modificare una impostazione del computer, e poi usare la normale modalità di “sleep”.

Per procedere createvi i seguenti due alias:

alias hibernateon="sudo pmset -a hibernatemode 5" alias hibernateoff="sudo pmset -a hibernatemode 0"

e poi invocate hibernateon

Da questo momento ogni  “sleep” porterà More >

I have found a beautiful trick to hibernate my brand new mac book pro:

I don’t like to waste battery life, especially when traveling. I love the Hibernate feature in Windows, and have all of my laptops set to hibernate when the lid is closed. The few extra seconds it takes to wake up is worth the saved battery life in my eyes. For those that don’t know here are the different states of the Macbook Pro….

At Gioorgi.com we evaluted a internet file system common gateway for connecting network resources. We compared two solutions: a webdav file system and an ssh-fs file system. The solution should be viable via MacOSX and Linux, but also Windows support will be a plus.

WebDAV

Samba and NFS are for sure more fast and reliable, but webdav offers some nice feature:

  • Webdav is easy to set up on apache web server
  • Webdav uses simple http protocol extension, so you can use it also behind web proxy
  • You can use HTTPS protocol to get SSL encryption
  • Apple uses it for its iDisk solution, so you get the More >

MacOSX Super-Clean Screenshots

Hold down the Command, Shift, and 4 keys, then press the Spacebar. Instead of a cross-hair cursor, a small camera icon appears. When you move this camera icon over the element you’d like to capture, that element is highlighted. Click your mouse or trackpad, and you’ve captured a screenshot of just that element — no further cleanup required.

via Apple – Pro – Tips – Super-Clean Screenshots.

The image will be stored on your desktop, named Picture1, Picture2 and so on.

This trick is nice.
