Computer Tips and Tricks for Mac's

A Look at Some Good Mac Programs

The
In my previous article, I showed you a couple good tricks for hiding files; but what if you are a Mac user? I have not forgotten about you. While these programs are easier to explain, they are useful.

Ever forgot a password to a website? Many people use different passwords for each website. Ever wanted to remember only one? Well now you can with 1Passwd. 1Passswd is a great program that can even protect you from fake websites. The only downside is that is costs $30. Well if you are reading this you are in luck. There is currently an offer going on that gives you one copy of 1Passwd for free! All you have to do is go to: http://agilewebsolutions.com/promo/macgems. When you get the email, just drag the license into the program. You are done! It will walk you through the setup.

Have a lot of programs on your Mac? Sick of having to open each one and update them? Well with AppFresh, you can update all of them at once! It checks the websites and downloads the updates. It even installs most of them for you! Just go to: http://metaquark.de/appfresh/ and download AppFresh. Keep in mind the software is still in development, and not as stable as commercial software.

Since Mac programs are easier to explain, I am showing you a third trick this article! Wondered why your Mac looses space even though you did not download anything? Well, iPhoto and some other programs store a lot of unneeded language files. With Monolingual, you can remove these and save a couple Gigabytes of space. Simply go to: http://monolingual.sourceforge.net/ and download the free program! You install it, and open it. You select all the languages you do not need or want! Make sure you leave English UNCHECKED. If not, you will have to reinstall OSX. To get any of them back, you must reinstall OSX. Be sure to run this after updates. You have just saved a few Gigabytes!

I hope you enjoyed reading this. Mac users, I did not forget about you! I am a Mac and PC users myself, and will be focusing on BOTH systems, unlike most experts. Stay tuned for more weekly! Also look for bonuses posted at random times! Have fun, be legal, and thanks for reading!
