I use simply burns although it hasn't been updated in years and I very seldom burn CD's/DVD's anymore. I'm a live music trader and used to burn by the hundreds and simply burns was definitely effective for large scale copying and DOW burnning with flac support. I believe others here use someth

Re: suggestions for securely copying 6tb of files?

If there any security fixes in the intervening versions we could probably get Apple to update. The Apple versions of BSD file utilities often have support for resource forks since BSD 4.4 did not support features found in HFS or other more complex file layouts. I have no ideas if he's ever gotte

Time Machine backups and permissions

Re: suggestions for securely copying 6tb of files?

Apple just patches stuff, and tosses it out there in tarballs. Then the community is expected to pick up the pieces and figure out what they did. The functionality for extended attributes and ACLs is there in the latest rsync, and it’s portable, unlike Apple’s specific version. Use option -E

Re: Transferring Contacts from N86 to iPhone

It depends on where the contacts are stored on the Nokia phone, but I imagine one of the simplest methods would be to use Bluetooth. Set up a Mac with the Bluetooth service receiving objects automatically, then push the contacts across from your Nokia phone. You would then use your Mac to sync

Re: Time Machine backups and permissions

That sounds very dodgy. Time Machine, as you noted, records ownerships and permissions in the filesystem, so at the very least you now have a damaged file history, and possibly have a damaged current backup where filesystem changes you made have not been accounted for. Erase the backup target,

Hi there. I use a free program called “burn”. It works very good for all basic tasks. You can google around and you will find it. As for toast, I used it briefly a few years ago and, although not very accessible, it was usable with some getting used to it. However, toast is very expensive and i

Re: 6S versus 6S plus

Battery and braille input are better. If you leave orientation unlocked, you can switch to landscape and get some nifty features. For instance, Safari will put open tabs along the bottom of the screen, and other apps can do similar tricks. That said, I rarely use the feature because I so often h
