After playing World of Tanks on my MacBook Pro, I am not able to copy anything to clipboard, drag and drop items, text, etc. I have cleared the cache but this hasn't helped. Only restarting helps.
I have the latest Yosemite OS.

MacBook 13" white (mid 2007) - how to treat a new battery for optimal battery life?
The old battery of my MacBook 13" white (mid 2007) is dead (as I always had the MacBook on my desktop and did not bother calibrating or discharging the battery).
I bought a new one (original Apple battery) and I wonder how to treat it to get optimal performance and a long life.
I found general tips on the apple.com homepage, but they are for MacBook Air/Pro Li-Ion batteries, and if I am not mistaken, the MacBook 13" has a Li-Polymer battery which might be a different story.
So what do I do with the new battery?
- first use/charging
- daily use
Force Messages to Stay Logged in on OSX
we have been using messages.app for communication in the office, but we often find that the client doesn't stay logged in. We have it set to auto-start at user login, we have it set to login when users resume activity, but many times, users still end up logged out. They don't realize it, and others in the office are trying to send them messages.
Is anyone aware of a way to force messages to stay logged in?
iphone view picture date
Since this took me awhile to find and a few of the apps here are old I thought I would share several iphone date viewing apps.
The ones I have tried:
Exif Wizard
Good app that I have used for about 2 years. Nothing fancy it just lets you view the metadata. It is only 0.4 MB.
Koredoko - Exif and GPS Viewer
Good app that I have used for about 2 years. Nothing fancy it just lets you view the metadata. It is only 4.5 MB.
Camera Awesome
Ok app. It is 48.5 MB. It doesn't do anything exciting to me. I rather use the regular camera app for taking pictures instead of this because of the size. It can view metadata.
The ones I have not tried:
Flickd
Size: 0.3 MB
Photo Date
Size: 3.4 MB
Photo Investigator: View, Edit, Remove Metadata; GPS, EXIF...
Size: 3.5 MB
Pixelgarde
Size: 4.8 MB
Metadata Cut - View and Remove Metadata
Size: 21.5 MB
How can I change the position of alerts pop up?
With Yosemite we got handy, growl-like, alert popups from the notification center. It's great but it often hides handy utils which also take the top right position of the screen.
Is there any way change the position of those alerts (via system preferences, plist, or an app)?
how to use iPhone's microphone when handsfree is used?
I have an iPhone 5c (IOS 8.2.1) and use Garage-band and I want to record something on a song , but when I insert hands free , my iPhone uses the hands free's microphone to record my sound (its an earpod) . How can I disable that and use iPhone's built in microphone ? (+ I don't have a hands free without microphone) Thanks !

Dwell clicking software that supports right-dragging and allows to define shortcuts
I am looking for a dwell clicking software that supports as many following features as possible:
- left and right-dragging
- double/triple click
- a shortcut can be defined to change the mouse mode
- the mouse mode window is always on Top
- customizable dwell clicking time (i.e. the time one needs to hold the mouse steady in an area before the mouse click is sent)
A few definitions:
- Right-dragging = you click the right mouse button while pointing at something, hold down the right mouse button and drag the object somewhere
- Dwell clicking = Instead of having to press a mouse button or a switch the user needs to simply hold the mouse steady in an area for a predefined amount of time. This action issues the computer with a 'virtual' click and provides the same function as if someone had pressed the mouse button.
On Windows I use Point-N-Click dwell clicking software: it has all the above-mentioned features (and is free).
