  • EasyFind

    Before Spotlight there was Sherlock.nAnd before Sherlock there was the Find.nWe have come a long way since the search in System 7.nContent awareness, deep indexes, and live results have made modern search powerful.nBut sometimes I wish I could return to a simpler search.nWhere the indexing every file isn’t required, and I can see the results from every folder on my hard drive.nEasyFind is powerful search made easy. EasyFind’s Best Three Features: Its fast results and Quick Look integration The ability to search invisible files, and the contents of application bundles The option to search anywhere, including my Library and System folders Fast EasyFind’s results are so fast on my MacBook Air, I often question the need for Spotlight to keep an index of my hard drive.nMaybe its because I rarely search my files by content.nOr maybe it is because of my MacBook Air’s super-fast SSD.nNo matter the reason, EasyFind’s search results often start appearing in less…

  • Unverified Install

    Have you ever tried to install OS X from a USB Flash Drive and received this error message? This copy of the Install OS X Mavericks application can’t be verified.

While booted from your OS X Install Media, launch the Terminal from the Utilities menu. Enter the date command to report your Mac’s known time and date. If the time and date are not correct, you can set it using the date command.

Press Return, and your Mac will confirm the current time and date before the prompt. Type exit or press “Command + Q” to quit the Terminal and resume the installation process. I first started seeing this error message in OS X 10.9…
