Does Mac have a tool similar to snippy or snagit?
I do not have Windows.
Need to copy data off archived online newspapers. Unable to do so with screenprint, etc.
Heard windows has a tool called Snippy, looked at Snagit, but read free download agreement and it reads a bit 'fishy', as the download is only free for 30 days, etc and it talks about fees etc.

Mac does have two utilities: Snagit for Mac and LittleSnapper. There are a few others. Snag it for mac is just a better "clippings" thing. It will not scan your image. There are OCR products available for Mac which might be able to take your clipping document and scan it back to text.
Snagit Mac is here: http://www.techsmith.com/snagit-mac-features.html
To see OCR stuff do a google search for: Mac OCR Software
And you'll get quite a few.

Does Mac have a disk cleanup?

PC's had disk defragmenter. Does Mac have anything similar to "clean up" the disks on the hard drive?

these articles are interesting about the fragmentation problem. i had some years ago that osx has software the limits fragmentation. however, in my experience, fragmentation still happens. take my powermac, please (an old joke)... my powermac is a bit over 2 years old. i have never filled the disk more than about 1/2 way. in recent months, the fragmentation is so bad that the disk makes popcorn even when booting... i am now trying to decide about how best to defrag... either run techtoolpro or drive genius or just reformat and reinstall...
on my powerbook at home, my hard drive died last fall. after i had a new hard disk installed, partitioned and installed the os, and restored all the files, my powerbook G4 is running circles around my dual powermac G5... personally i find partitioning the hard drive to be helpful at reducing the fragmentation. i believe it is because the swap, which stays on the root volume with the operating system dynamically grows a lot. and since it is always change size, it affects where the data files get written. with the virtual memory file on the partition with the OS files, which are changing that much, then the data files on the other partition don't also get scrambled so much... at least that is my current working theory... i used to do sysadmin work on unix systems about 15 years ago. we always formatted the disks in at least 3 partition, 1- for OS files, 2- data files, 3- scratch space for all the temp files that change dynamically... with that scheme, our suns would run for years and have very little performance slowdowns...
when i got my powermac and had heard that fragmentation was addressed in osx, i thought i'd try it with a single partition. now i regret it... it is more work to partition and it can be a lot of work if one has to change the partition (though i've read that 10.5 doesn't make one reformat, which i don't understand how that works...), but i've found that it makes less maintenance...
one of the advantages of a reformat and new install is that it clears out all the miscellaneous files that get installed with programs over the years. but it is a lot of work to reinstall all the applications... so the reformat option has it's pluses and minuses... the downside to the utility software is that it can take forever and a day, especially if the fragmentation is bad... last night i stuck around work til about 9pm waiting for techtoolpro to finish it's "diagnostic check"... it was running for about 4 hours before i gave up and came home...
i hadn't heard about iDefrag... but i already have techtoolpro and drive genius, though i haven't used either much before... i wonder if one is better than the other...

does mac have a word and excel equivalent or do I need to use Windows for Mac and get the software separately?

Mac has Pages and Numbers, which are mostly compatible with word and excel. Both are available in the App Store for $20 each.
You can also buy Microsoft's office for Mac suite.

Why does mac have to download adobe flash player to view videos

why does mac have to download adobe flash player to view video clips?

If you have a new-ish Mac or one you just upgraded to Mac OS X Lion, Adobe Flash Player is not installed by default. Since some web content is created specifically to be seen only with Adobe Flash Player, if you want to see that content, you need to install it.
It's trivial to do so. Start here:

Does Arch have any tool to check what services needs restart?

Does Arch have any tool to check what services needs restart after software update just like `checkrestart` from Debian flavoured distros or `needs-restarting` from Red Hat ones?

Maybe there is some other temporary file that is not a library but deleted that slips through. I got my awk version now to replace my old hack code.
__pids="$(sudo lsof -F pfn |
awk '
/^n/{
# if this file is a deleted library or binary, show it
if (del == 1 && match($0, "bin|lib")) {
print pid;
del=0;
del = 0;
/^fDEL$/{
# the next file is deleted
del = 1;
/^p/{
# we check a new process
del = 0
pid = substr($0, 2)
}' |
sort -un |
paste -sd ' '
)" && [ -n "$__pids" ] && ps -p "$__pids" && unset __pids || unset __pids
Edit: Reorder logic, don't execute ps if no processes are found.

Does mac have an app that graphically finds & highlights file icons?

Does mac have an app that graphically finds & highlights file icons (especially on the desktop)?
This used to be available as a 3rd party app on older systems but I haven't seen it currently.
Sherlock just finds locations as a listing.

The easiest way is to use iPhoto, just drag the picture in to it. To resize it select the picture and in the menu bar "FILE - EXPORT". You can preform basic editing and corrections by double clicking on the picture.

Does Mac have an app that will check and correct spelling

Does Mac have an app that will check and correct spelling

Spell Check has been built into Mac OS X for years, including the ancient version listed in your profile. You don't need a separate app.
Mac OS X 10.4 Help
Checking spelling as you type
In many Mac OS X applications, you can have the application automatically check your spelling as you type. When you mistype or misspell a word, it's underlined in red so you can quickly spot errors and correct them.
Open the application that you want to use and choose Edit > Spelling > "Check Spelling as You Type."
If you don't see this item in the Edit menu, the application doesn't provide the Mac OS X spell-checking feature. The application may have its own spell-checker. Look in the application's preferences or menus for a spell-checker.

HT4236 Hello, does anyone have any advice on how to sort photos in an albumn on an Iphone by date of photo? I've ordered them all in my Pictures but then when I sync them across through Itunes, they all end up in a jumble on my phone. Thanks!

Hello, does anyone have any advice on how to sort photos in an albumn on an Iphone by date of photo? I've ordered them all in my Pictures but then when I sync them across through Itunes, they all end up in a jumble on my phone. Thanks!

When viewing an album on the iPhone you can tap "Photos" at the bottom and that will show all photos by date. Unfortunately though it is all photos, not just the album you are currently viewing.
What I have done is the following. On the computer I have a main folder (e.g. iPhone photos) and then make sub-folders within that. Placing photos that will be synched to the iPhone into various subfolders gives quite a bit of organizational capablility. In iTunes when you select the main folder to sync, the sub-folders will show on the iPhone as separate albums. Beyond that, in one case where I really wanted a specific sort within an album I renamed the photos on the computer (something like A-picxxx, B-picxxx) so they sorted on the computer alphabetically in the order I want on the phone. That sort order was maintained after the sync.
Note that each time you sync using iTunes, the non-Camera Roll pictures on the phone will be set to match the current iTunes settings/photos -- so you can experiment.

IPhoto keeps crashing! - then needs to repair the library. This is happening each time I import photos or even try to go in to an even and delete photos etc. Does anyone have any suggestions? Please it is so frustrating - I used to love iPhoto - now I reg

iPhoto keeps crashing! - then needs to repair the library. This is happening each time I import photos or even try to go in to an even and delete photos etc. Does anyone have any suggestions? Please it is so frustrating - I used to love iPhoto - now I regret upgrading to Lion

As a Test:
Hold down the option (or alt) key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Create Library'
Import a few pics into this new, blank library. Is the Problem repeated there?

Macbook Pro 10.6.8 - Cursor moves by itself, types by itself, opens dashboard by itself, stops responding to keysto22000 there you go! Have switched out keyboards to no avail. Do not use wireless.

Cursor moves by itself, types by itself, opens dashboard by itself, stops responding to keysto22000 - there be a good example. Seems to like the number 2. Have switched out keyboards to no avail. Do not use wireless. Does not start immediately upon turning on computer. Everything is okay from 10 to 20 minutes, then bang. Can deattach then attach keyboard and get a few moments of quiet. All this started today.

If the same erratic behavior occurs when the external KB and mouse are completely disconnected, I think it's time for a Genius Bar appointment to have the problem diagnosed.
http://www.apple.com/retail/geniusbar/
You'll probably want to get the machine revved up ahead of time so it's misbehaving when you walk in the door, rather than count on it to act up — or not — after you and the Genius have been standing around waiting for a while. (BTW, I'm assuming that once it starts acting up, it continues to do so until you give up and shut it down. Is that true?)

hI, bella
I also met this issue a few days ago and I finally find out how to transfer music from iPod to computer:
1. Plug your iPod in and wait for the computer to recognize it.
2. Open up 'My Computer' and under 'Devices With Removable Storage', double click and open apple iPod.
3. Click on 'Tools' at the top of the window and drag down to 'Folder Options'.
4. Under the 'View' tab, find the subfolder called 'Hidden files and folders'.
5. Select the option 'Show hidden files and folders'.
6. Click 'OK'.
