Turn off DashBoard in Leopard

If you're like me and have an older Mac (I have a 12" PowerBook) then you might like to know how to turn off Dashboard. Dashboard is a great set of apps, but if you don't use it, then it just uses ram and processor that could be used for other tasks.

First open Terminal.app

And type:

defaults write com.apple.dashboard mcx-disabled -boolean YES

Then press enter

We have to reset the Dock for changes to take affect.

To do that, type:

killall Dock

Then press enter



And as always, how to turn it back on.

Type:

defaults write com.apple.dashboard mcx-disabled -boolean NO

Then press enter

Once again we have to reset the Dock

To do that, type:

killall Dock

Now it's back.

Windows file sharing with iPhone iPod Touch

Here is the link to the Google Code page.

Hope this helps.

Remove Glass Dock in Leopard, 2D Dock

I have a 12" 1.5GHz PowerBook with Leopard on it, I felt that the Dock was slowing things down a bit. So I found out how to disable it...

Open Terminal.app

Type:

defaults write com.apple.dock no-glass -boolean YES

And press enter

We have to reset the Dock for changes to take affect.

To do that type:

killall Dock

And press enter




If you want it back to the 3D Dock then type:

defaults write com.apple.dock no-glass -boolean NO

Then press enter

We have to reset the Dock for changes to take affect.

To do that type:

killall Dock

Then press enter.

Categories almost like Finder for the iPhone/iPod Touch

So I don't mind using extended screen on the iPhone but I found an app today that is just sweet. It's called Categories.

I set it up with a File called iPhoneHD and placed it on the Home screen, then I filled it with all the apps I install for Installer.app.

But why stop there, then I added a file called games.

And then a File called Finder, I put all the iPhone apps I don't use all the time in there.

Can you see where I'm going here, a iPhone OSX. I've seen others (one in Installer.app) but they require blank apps and all kinds of different things, so I thought I would make my own, my own way.

If you would like to install this app on your iPhone/iPod Touch you can find it in Installer.app>System>Categories.

I used images from all over but the main source was Ultimate Leopard 2.0, made by the guys over at ipodtouchfans.

Thanks again for looking!
