The Official MAC/OS X Thread

[bigmac]

I ain't seen anything of the sort around these parts so fukk it, let me start shyt off.

So many times I quickly use my nikkas other MacBooks and find myself looking like at how basic their shyt is.

First off, any nikkas running OS X need to be go ahead and cop that Mountain Lion. Even now nikkas see me sending iMessages off my MacBook and be like

shyt's a gamechanger.

Alfred too is another thing that I cannot live without. shyt basically does everything I ever need and acts as a clipboard manager which is pretty damn essential for me. Check all the other shyt it does here. shyt is dope.

I fukked around and got that KAWS Icon dock too. shyt was all KAWS'd up before I went ahead and cleared out my icon dock. Also worth getting Sophos AntiVirus software when you get a minute. Never know what malware you might run into on these e-streets.

What other shyt y'all got cookin

First thing you should do when you get a Mac is go get Little Snitch. You'll thank me later.

UnRarX or Stuffit is essential. I have both, and mainly use UnRarX, but sometimes it won't read a rar file right, and i'll use Stuffit. Onyx should be downloaded as well. If you're gonna be burning CD's/DVD's, I'd recommend Toast Titanium.

XLD is good for ripping/encoding CD's. Transmission for torrents. SerialSeeker, which should be self explanatory. VLC of course should be downloaded. TinkerTool is pretty cool too.

That's all I can think of for now.

Forgot about VLC.

Tinkertool sounds dope but I can't think off the top what I would use it for, how do you use it?

I mainly use it to show hidden files/folders, but sometimes I'll fukk around with some of the other stuff.

i disagree with updating to Mountain Lion if your MBpro isn't 2011 and older. I have the 2009 model and upgrade to ML (legit bought copy) and it was major headache. The computer kept lagging and battery life was cut in half. I couldn't even do the basic tasks.

So now i'm happy being back on Lion.

Quicksilver — Mac OS X at your Fingertips
Alfred App - Productivity App for Mac OS X

Pick one or the other. Learn it. Hone it. Use it as a tool.

You'll never use your Mac the same way again.

Wait. did you change the initial post or has it always been that way? Wondering why I suggested Alfred if it was there the whole time.
