Today I bought Original License for Pixelmator from Mac App Store for Mountain Lion OSX.

It’s really crazy in India to be a owner of original Photoshop, Illustrator, Flash, inDesign all Adobe Products because all of this products cost in real life situation 80,000 INR per licenses & per product.

So all of purchased of this genuine  Adobe Products costs me 2,50,000 INR or more. So it really sucks to be owner of Photoshop where Mac App like ‘Pielmator’ is available for under 1,000 INR i.e. just for 800 INR (or Rupees).

Here is My Take on Apple Mail Settings for GMail, Yahoo Mail & My Private Domain Mail Sever…

I Have Selected Options As Follows:

1. Draft: Option Unchecked
2. Notes: Option Unchecked
3. Sent: Option Checked & Delete Sent Message Option Selected as ‘Never’
4. Junk: Option Unchecked
5. Trash: Option Checked & Move Deleted Message to Trash Mail Box Option Checked, Store deleted message on server option checked, Permanantly erase deleted message when ‘One Month Old’ checked

I am using this mail settings for my own personal use in my daily life, I hope it helps you…

Thanks & Regards

I use iChat for two accounts of mine, one for GMail & another with Yahoo!

After some while using ichat I found that iChat annoys you with asking for your respective account password again & again… Even if you have stored the same password in keychain.

But I have found work around for this problem…

While holding the ‘Option’ button on keyboard go to Finder’s ‘Menu Bar’ click ‘Go’

You will see your library folder,

Delete Cache folder from that Library folder, then after rebooting clear Trash

Now, Use Disk Utility to Verify & Repair your Macintosh HD’s Disk Permissions…!!!

Your Problem with iChat will be solved…

Thanks & Regards

Applications takes long time to open on Mac OSX 10.5, 10.6, 10.7 As HDD takes long time to wake up from sleep.

I have iMac & 2 External Hard Drives, one for Time Machine Backup which is powered by USB only but my 2nd External Hard drive takes lot of time to wake from sleep as it is powered by external electrical outlet & connected to mac by FireWire 800.

I found that opening any daily routine applications like iCal, Pages, Keynote or even saving file in Photoshop takes lot of time to finished the job…

So the solution is in Preferences’ Energy Saver Panel, Just unchecking the ‘Put the hard disk(s) to sleep when possible’ will prevent any hard drive attached to your mac going to sleep.

As with iPhone & iPad… Apple & Yahoo! now give Yahoo! Mail with IMAP on Mac OSX Lion Desktop with Apple’s desktop mail client ‘Apple Mail 5.0’ & up…

Really It’s finally there where we don’t have to login to yahoo web mail through safari or firefox… Now Yahoo Mail is delivered to your desktop…

YoooooHooooooo…..!!!! Or Just Yahoo!

Here is the screenshot:

Before switching to Mac OSX Lion 10.7 & MAMP 2.0.2, I was using Mac OSX Snow Leopard 10.6.8 with MAMP 1.9.5

After Upgrading to Mac OSX Lion 10.7 and MAMP 2.0.1 or 2.0.2, suddenly everything went wrong. The Apache Server doesn’t start.

For almost the last month, I have been unable to update my website theme offline…

But when I check the folder called ‘log’ inside MAMP’s folder under applications (/Applications/MAMP/logs)

I opened the ‘apache_error.log’ Apache Log file, and there was a reason on my iMac why MAMP’s Apache server was not running.

Error: [Date] [alert] (EAI 8)nodename nor servname provided, or not known: mod_unique_id: unable to find IPv4 address of “000-000-000-000.static.broadbandcompanyname”

So, the Error was related to ‘IPv4’
