Set Safari's Default Size and Location

If you like to have Safari starts with a specific window size and location, put the below code in the address bar:
javascript:self.moveTo(120,75);self.resizeTo(1440,900);self.location="http://www.apple.com";

You must paste the code and hit enter, to save the window size and location, hit CTRL+T and close the old tab, this new tab must be the last one. Then close Safari (CTRL+Q) and re-open it.

My 13" MacBook Air is set to
javascript:self.moveTo(200,0);
self.resizeTo(1040,900);
self.location="http://www.apple.com";

Mac: Find & Delete Specific File Type From The Terminal

Sometimes I'd like to find and delete temporary files, backup files, or any file type. This example will show you how to find and delete the LOG file from the terminal:


sudo find / -iname *.log -print0 | xargs -0 rm -frv {}


You will be prompted for your admin password.

Recover Memory On Mac OS X Lion For Free

Using the technique below I noticed significant gains, you can verify them aswell by opening the Activity Monitor.app, right clicking the icon in the Dock and setting it to show the Memory.
Keep an eye on the green part of the pie chart when the script runs.

First, select the text editor of your choice, I personally use Textmate, and create a new file:

mate ~/Library/LaunchAgents/org.itweak.purge.plist

For the bash novices the tilde (~) sign indicates your home directory, usually /Users/yourname

Copy/paste this code:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">
<plist version="1.0">
<dict>
  <key>Label</key>
  <string>org.itweak.purge</string>
  <key>Program</key>
  <string>/usr/bin/purge</string>
  <key>StartInterval</key>
  <integer>3600</integer>
</dict>
</plist>

Save the file (CMD+S will suffice) and close the editor.

What we just did is to build a plist file that instructs our system to run the value of the Program key (/usr/bin/purge) every 3600 seconds.

Open up a Terminal and write this:

launchctl load -w ~/Library/LaunchAgents/org.itweak.purge.plist

Now, this job will run every hour, you can tweak the number of seconds by changing the StartInterval integer number (in seconds) and it will free up your memory, you said it, for free.

To stop it:

launchctl unload -w ~/Library/LaunchAgents/org.itweak.purge.plist

A downside of this is that the purge command will kinda freeze your mac for few seconds when it runs. It can be annoying at times.

MAC OSX: Remove Roboform Icon From The Menu Bar

If you have Roboform running on Mac, it lunches Icon.app which resides on your menu bar. If you delete the Icon.app, every time Roboform is launched, it will recreate Icon.app.

To remove Icon.app or stop running it, open your terminal and execute the following:

• cd ~/Library/Application Support/RoboForm
• chmod u-x Icon.app/

MAC OSX 10.7 10.6 10.5 -Hide the Dock and Menu bar on a per-app basis

To hack an app so that when it's active, the menu bar and dock are hidden, you need to find its info.plist file. Control-click on the program in question, choose Show Package Contents from the pop-up menu, and then navigate into the Contents folder.

Once there, add the following to the file:

<key>LSUIPresentationMode</key>
<integer>4</integer>

Be sure that it goes in alphabetical order, otherwise it won't work (i.e. LSUIPresentationMode goes after LSMinimumSystemVersion but before NSAppleScriptEnabled). Save the file and enjoy.

Uninstall the NS Agent for Apple Mac's with Intel Processors

• Open a terminal window
• Navigate to: /Applications/Utilities/Altiris/NSAgent/.bin. 
• Run "sudo aex-uninstall" as an admin user.
