Fixing a corrupt cache
If your mac prints this:
dyld: shared cached file was build against a different libSystem.dylib, ignoring cache dyld: shared cached file was build against a different libSystem.dylib, ignoring cache dyld: shared cached file was build against a different libSystem.dylib, ignoring cache
Try this:
sudo update_dyld_shared_cache -force
Backing up a Mac
Although there are some nice programs like Carbon Copy Cloner and SuperDuper! for backing up Macs, here is an easy way to clone /dev/disk0s2 to /dev/disk1s2:
#!/bin/sh asr --source /dev/disk0s2 --target /dev/disk1s2 --erase --noprompt disktool -n disk1s2 backup
Changing the UID of a user
dscl . -change /Users/bob UniqueID 501 1000 chown -R 1000 /Users/bob
Create and mount an image on the mac
hdiutil create -size 1m foo.dmg -fs HFS+ -volname NIST1 -attach -plist hdiutil detach /Volumes/NIST1/
Disable a MacOS Service
Briefly, to turn a service off (in this case com.apple.wikid)
- sudo launchctl (you will get a prompt - launchd%)
- list (gets a list of all the services)
- stop com.apple.wikid (stops the wikid service)
- unload com.apple.wikid (removes the wikid service from launchd)
Don't write that annoying .DS_Store file
defaults write com.apple.desktopservices DSDontWriteNetworkStores true
Stop annoying restarting of windows
defaults write -g ApplePersistence -bool no defaults write com.apple.Safari ApplePersistenceIgnoreState YES defaults write com.apple.Preview ApplePersistenceIgnoreState YES
Make Chrome use standard OSX Print Window
defaults write com.google.Chrome DisablePrintPreview -bool true
Fix mailman SSL URL problem
See http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4660
