Since some weeks my iPhone 4 started to act strange in terms of showing a popup message whenever it lost the cellular network:
First I thought this behaviour might be intended and was probably introduced with the latest iOS update. Asking my friends about it, it turned out that this is definitifly NOT normal.
Recently I discovered, that my external hard drive
for Time Machine backups is slowly running out of space – only ~20 GB left on a 320GB drive.
Searching through the web I did not find any up-to-date help on how to properly remove old backups in order to have more space available. But when trying the most easy and obvious way, I figured out that’s how Apple intended to do it:

I just upgraded my OS X Snow Leopard install to the new Mac OS 10.7 Lion and I am stunned: never before the upgrade process was so easy and fast! Once again it’s amazing what job the Apple Developers achieved, considering it’s a full operating system upgrade.
There are enough posts and reviews about 10.7 Lion, so I am not going to write anything about it in general.
But I provide a (happily) short post-upgrade checklist of the things I had to take care after upgrading.

This is the best solution I found in the world wide web to overcome the missing feature, to use Front Row on a secondary display screen<
defaults write com.apple.frontrow FrontRowUsePreferredDisplayID xxxxxxxx
Whenever you have now that display connected to your Mac, Front Row will use it to show up on that screen, no matter what your main display is set to. The nice “side effect” of this whole solution is, that you only defined a “preferred display” – so when it’s not available, Front Row just starts on the primary screen.Similiar Utilities

Mit Safari 5.0.1 (bzw. 4.1.1) behebt Apple die Sicherheitslücke in Safari 4 & 5, welche es ermöglichte, alle Informationen der persönlichen Adressbuch-Visitenkarte bei einem Webseiten-Besuch automatisiert auszulesen.
Challenge?
Run a Windows application as the local Admin user, and directly pass a file path to open with that app.
Fail attempts…
I thought a Windows Command Line script would be the easiest to achieve my challenge. So I tried using…
RUNAS – which runs a specific
application under the given name. BUT doesn’t allow to pass a parameter (f.eg. file path)
START – starts an application and let’s you pass a parameter (f.eg. file path). BUT doesn’t allow you to start the application as a different user.
Solution!
So I continued searching the Internet, and I finally stumbled upon a hint which lead me to the solution: you need to modify a shortcut to the affected application!
In my case I had the issue with the Adobe AIR package-installer and passing directly an Adobe AIR-application to it for install.
Here’s what I did:
Heute hatte ich ein seltsames Problem mit AirPort auf meinem Mac.
Und zwar konnte ich AirPort nicht mehr über das Menüelement deaktivieren. Es passierte einfach gar nichts, wenn der Befehl ausgewählt wurde.
Nach kurzer Suche fand ich den Grund in den AirPort-Settings. Wobei dies nicht unbedingt die Ursache ist, aber zumindest das “gewünschte” Verhalten zurückbrachte.
