Bug Fighter (johnjack.hirsh) Mac OS

Tiger's been out less than a week, and there are already a number of interesting utilities to customize it—in subtle ways—to your preferences; here's a rundown of some of the first. (Note that some of these products are still in development, so the usual 'use at your own risk' caveats apply; that being said, I've tried all of these utilities on my own system without incident.)

If you're planning on running the treasures of the past you'll find here on real old Macintosh hardware from the 90's, you sir/madame, deserve to win an Internet! For others, there's SheepShaver, a PowerPC emulator capable of running Mac OS 9.0.4 down to Mac OS 7.5.2 and there's Basilisk II, a 68k emulator, capable of running Mac OS (8.1 to 7.0).

Capture scrolling window mac. Cage Fighter 1.1 (free). I actually like the new look of Mail in Tiger, even though it's quite inconsistent with the interface found in the rest of Mac OS X's applications. But judging from the reaction around the 'net, I may be in the minority. It seems more than a few people are unhappy with the new design, especially the toolbar buttons, which really don't match any other Mac OS X toolbar buttons, 'brushed metal' or Aqua. If you're not a fan of the new button style, Cage Fighter will replace them with 'borderless' buttons similar to those used by Panther's Mail—you'll still be stuck with the rest of Mail's new look, but at least the toolbar will be a bit more subtle. Or, if you want to revert even further, Cage Fighter can replace Mail's button icons and title bar with their actual Panther equivalents. You can also change the mailbox highlight from pale gray-blue to the bright blue used by most other Mac OS X apps.

Tiger's Mail with 'borderless' buttons

  • Mac OS X introduced the Aqua user interface, which had smooth, transparent and glassy style for the interface. Apple continually refined this style with the early releases of Mac OS X. 2007's Mac OS X Leopard was the first radical shift in the interface since the introduction of Mac OS X, giving it a much darker color scheme.
  • Mac OS X: Fixed a bug which caused application launchers to disappear when a bottle was renamed. Fixed a problem which made it difficult to change the window size for a maximized window (Quicken was among the impacted applications). Linux: Updated package dependencies to.

Safari Buttons 0.4 (free). One of the most popular features of Safari and other modern browsers is tabbed browsing. As a result, one of the most requested Safari features has long been a 'new tab' button in the Safari toolbar. Now that Safari 2.0 (included with Tiger) allows you to customize the toolbar like many other Mac OS X applications, many people held out hope that a 'new tab' button would be one of the options. Alas, no. But you can get such a button using Safari Buttons, which replaces Safari's Report Bug toolbar option with a New Tab button. (You lose the Report Bug button, but now many people actually used it?) As a bonus, Safari Buttons also lets you enable and disable image-less browsing (which disables images for faster page loading) by pressing Command+Y, then Command+R.

Amnesty 0.5b Battle box (catalanigamer) mac os. (free beta; final version price to be determined). Much has been made about Tiger's Dashboard feature as compared to Konfabulator —there's no sense revisiting those debates here. However, one difference between the two is that Dashboard works only as an 'overlay'—you can view Dashboard Widgets only when the Dashboard layer is activated—whereas Konfabulator Widgets are, by default, visible on your screen even when you're working in other applications. In the Macworld forums alone I've seen a number of requests for similar functionality from Dashboard, and Amnesty offers it: When launched, a new Amnesty menu appears in the menu bar, listing all available Dashboard Widgets. Choosing one from the menu opens it on your screen without the need to invoke Dashboard; it remains onscreen until you choose to close it. For each Amnesty-induced Widget, you can decide whether it floats above all applications, acts as a standard application window, or becomes part of your Desktop; you can also customize the Widget's opacity. Amnesty is in early beta, so it's still very rough—for example, the developer has a list (available from the Amnesty menu) of known issues that you should read before you start activating Widgets willy-nilly.

Dasher 1.0.1 (free). To be honest, the idea of a Dashboard screen saver never crossed my mind. But it evidently crossed someone's, because that's exactly what Dasher provides. Pretty good solitaire mac os. With Dasher installed, after a period of inactivity—set by you in the Dasher preference pane—Dashboard is automatically activated. Move or click the mouse, or press a key, and it disappears, just as it would if you'd activated it manually. Dasher even cooperates with Mac OS X's screensaver—if you've enabled the latter, it will take precedence over Dasher's Dashboard activation.

These are just a few of the first Tiger 'enhancements' I've seen, but I expect these types of products to come fast and heavy in the weeks and months ahead. Stay tuned for periodic overviews of new Tiger tweaks. Prince of cats mac os. And let us know of any new ones you've found by posting a comment in the Macworld forums via the link below.

Some software vulnerabilities can be hacked. Some others do not even need to be hacked for their software programs are too vulnerable. The macOS High Sierra of Apple is software of the second type.

A new bug is in the open as security researchers revealed it November 28. The bug lets anybody to most easily break into the security safeguards of the High Sierra operating system. If anybody strikes one prompt button within that OS requesting username and password prior to getting the machine started which several users operate, loading one app or modifying configurations, he just requires typing 'root' for username, while enter nothing for password, then hit 'unlock' twice which straight away would give full access. Independent.co.uk posted this, November 29, 2017.

While expressing regrets to Mac operators about the unprotected software, Apple confirmed release of an update which would secure all affected PCs.

The 'Root' A/C that can access the software's relatively maximum privileged parts had a wholly blank password field. This implies anybody is capable of logging into the PC based on simply one blank password while view personal files unhindered, alter configurations as well as read messages.

Stating about trying to devise a fix, Apple said its team was developing one software update for rectifying the problem. Meanwhile, users can set one root password that would stop illegitimate access of their systems. For doing that instructions are provided in https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204012. For a Mac PC where there's already an active Root User so that blank password isn't made, users require following the guidelines given inside 'Change the root password' portion.

Of High Sierra's series of bugs, the aforementioned is the latest. This, my soul mac os. The same day High Sierra was launched Wardle discovered the malware active on the OS was capable of stealing everything inside its keychain devoid of any password. And one more highly disturbing flaw displayed the Mac owner's password in the form of certain password hint at the time he attempted decoding an encrypted section of his data files called APFS container.

Apple stated the company was highly apologetic to each and every Mac operator for the error found.
