  • Bye Bye Adobe & Welcome Pixelmator & OpenSource

    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).

  • Mac OSX Lion 10.7 iChat asks for password again & again

    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

    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.
