It's quite easy to start two instances of any app from the command line. In this case:
open -n /Applications/SuperDuper\!.app
However, I know that this isn't always a good idea because most applications are not meant to share resources with themselves. I was hoping to back up two different drives with SuperDuper! (a hard drive cloning application) at the same time. I was wondering if this is safe.
happy holidays! For the upcoming sales i am planning to buy a MacBook. All the information and specs are out there and I've had a fair share of time looking at them, I was hoping to get some insight on whether to buy an air or pro. If i buy an air im thinking of the $1299 version with the i5 into i7 and 4->8gb ram. If i go pro, I'm thinking $1599 13". Both are in the 1500-1600 range. I was hoping someone could give me some advice. I will be using the device to do homework, watching youtube and occasionally some slightly demanding gaming. On another note, i notice the specs dont include any ssd's but do have a "flash based storage" but the storage compared to SSD is quite limited, if you could explain that to me better, it would be much appreciated.
Thanks!
I have a fresh installed os and I do not no what that lot of Other thinks comes from, how can I reveal it?
I have reinstalled my mac and I do not want to loose my backup disk created with Time Machine, but I want to create backup with recent setup. Is it possible to create backup with the same backup disk without loosing data on it?
I do not want to revert to the previous system configuration, I only want to keep untouched that data on the disk.
My laptop is pretty old (late 2008 MBP), and I've been trying to get Bluetooth to work under Boot Camp because I just got some wireless headphones. Thing is, Bluetooth doesn't show up under device manager. In fact, I install the following three drivers from the Boot Camp support package (version 4.0.4033), and the following happens:
The last part is the worrying bit. There's no yellow triangle in Device Manager. There's just plain nothing. No device that does Bluetooth at all. I tried the broadcom drivers ( http://ift.tt/yNJv7E) and it won't detect any device, it just gives up before installing anything. I tried WIDCOMM (http://ift.tt/13GcrXM), and it also gives up, not able to detect anything. I looked at the Broadcom adapter under Network Adapters in Device Manager and enabled Bluetooth Collaboration, still nothing. I've even reset the SMC and tried everything again. Nothing at all.
I would think this was a heavier issue (i.e. the Bluetooth is fried on the machine), but my headphones work like a charm when I switch back to Lion. Does anyone know what could be the issue, and whether I could fix it without reinstalling Windows?
Maybe I'm installing the wrong support package...how can I check my Mac's actual model?
This is what Device Manager looks like...as you can see, Apple Built-In Bluetooth is nowhere to be found
I am using OS X 10.8.5 and fairly new on Apple systems and especially running scripts.
Can anyone describe how to start Keychaindump, does it need to run thru Terminal, or i need a additional program for it? I admin the machine, but need a lost password on a other users account, is Admin enough to run the program or do i have to be Root? I have access to the other user account.
Some passwords on this account i can find as wifi's etc, but i try to access the master keychain pwd, because the login id been changed, and so far there was not yet a reset on the keychain pwd.
The program i downloaded as .zip but i just needs more information how to run the script, sorry this maybe a inconvenient newbie question for most users here, but anyway thx in advance for any information provided to get me running it.
Here the link to the developer http://ift.tt/1t1ahZ0
I was trying to install CLI package from github but I messed up during the process and ended up getting this error. It is persistent and won't go away. Terminal wont accept any commands like mkdir, ls, clear screen. To fix this error I ended up deleting the info.plist file for the terminal ( I am not a very smart person) which somehow bricked terminal and it won't start anymore. I decided to download iTerm, and it still launches with the same old error. What am I supposed to do. Please help me .
