Find Some Hidden Screensavers!

In Mac OS X there are some good screensaver candidates from example Quartz Composer projects.
First off, you need the Developer Tools installed.
|Leopard:|Mac OS X Install DVD > Optional Installs > Xcode Tools > XcodeTools.mpkg|
|Tiger:|Mac OS X Install DVD > Xcode Tools > XcodeTools.mpkg|
After you install those, go inside the Developer folder.
Next, go into the Examples folder. Open up the Quartz Composer folder, then the Compositions folder.
Check any folder you like, though I like the ones in the Conceptual and Core Image folders.
After you're in there, browse around and open up anything you like. You can also modify the projects if you wish.
To make a screensaver of the project, just open System Preferences -> Desktop & Screensaver. Then, just drag the project into that System Preferences window.
Enjoy!

Open the Terminal application. At the command line enter:
sudo chflags hidden /private
Press RETURN. You will be prompted for you admin password which will not be echoed.
Repeat substituting /efi for /private in the command line.

  • Hi, I migrated from PC to Mac, but I can't find some files I had in the PC, this files were invisible but just before migrating I switched off the "hidden" option, ¿Does this files migrated as hidden files or they didn't migrated?

    Hi, I migrated from PC to Mac, but I can't find some files I had in the PC, this files were invisible because I had them as hidden but just before migrating I switched off the "hidden" option, ¿Does this files migrated as hidden files or they didn't migrated?

    If the filename starts with a dot (.thisfile), then it will be hidden on the Mac.
    You can use a 3rd party App, such as EasyFind to search for the file on your Mac, and then re-name (remove the dot)

  • HT201322 try to unhide my purchase, but can not find  "View Hidden Purchases"

    I hid one of my music album purchases by an accident. now i wanna unhide it, so that i can import the album to my ipod.
    i did some research, and find this page: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4919i .
    i tried as what it says but i really can not find "View Hidden Purchases" on my account information page.
    the only two things i can see in "Itunes in the cloud" are "Manage Devices" and "Learn More".
    No "View Hidden Purchases" part!
    i need help! thanks!

    To unhide your purchases
    Open iTunes on your computer. You can download the latest version of iTunes here.
    If you're not already signed in, choose Store > Sign in. If you're signed in, skip to step 4.
    Enter your Apple ID and password, then click the Sign In button.
    Choose Store > View My Account. (You may be asked to enter your password again).
    Click on View Hidden Purchases from your Account Information page.
    Choose a content type by clicking Music, TV shows, Apps, or Books from the top.
    Click the Unhide button next to the item you would like to restore.
    Note: If the item you are unhiding is not already downloaded on your computer locally, it will begin downloading automatically.

    Have made a rebbot from Time Machine, and now I lack a lot of pictures. Can see icons, but not enlarge them. Especially pictures where 2009 is included in the date is missing?
    When I set up my desktop, I can find some of the pictures. Where do They hide, and what shall I do.
    Have made back up, but unfortunately a little too late. What to do?
    MacBook Pro 15 "late 2008, Processor 2.53 Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo, Graphics NVIDIA GeForce 9400M 256 MB, Software Mac OS X 10.7.4 Lion (11E53).

    1. You did not get an error message telling you that your iPhoto library was getting full. You got a message telling you that your HD was getting full, right?
    OS X needs about 10 gigs of hard drive space for normal OS operations - things like virtual memory, temporary files and so on.
    Without this space your Mac will slow down as the OS hunts for space on the disk, files will be fragmented, also slowing things down, apps will crash and the risk of data corruption - that is damage to your files, photos, music - increases exponentially.
    Your first priority is to make more space on that HD. Nothing else can be done until you do.
    Purchase an external HD and move your Photos and Music to it. Both iPhoto and iTunes can run perfectly well with the Library on an external disk.
    Your Library has been damaged from being run on an overfull disk.
    How much free space on it now?

  • How do I find my hidden/missing photos?

    On my iPhone4 my Camera Roll is showing 925 photos, which I have recently backed up to my computer. However iTunes shows I have 2103 photos using 4.47 gb. On my phone under settings>general>usage>photos & camera it shows that I have used 4.6 gb. And on my phone under settings>general>about>photos it shows 2,065.
    This is my 2nd iPhone, which replaced the 1st iPhone4 when it had a problem and stopped working.  I am missing a whole lot of pictures, and so the over 2000 number makes sense.  I just don't know how to find the hidden/missing photos.
    Can anyone help me with this?

    I think your numbers add up --- as follows:
    iTunes says you have 2.103 photos.  I claim they consist of:
    925 photos on your Camera Roll
    178 photos in your Photo Library
    1,000 photos in your Photo Stream
    2,103 total photos
    If you're having trouble finding the Photo Stream photos, maybe this will help:

  • I would like to add to the Safari toolbar on my ipad 5 IOS 6  machine. I have searched the web and find some instructions to do this but the words and pictures do not match what I can see. I am beginning to think this is not a capabilty of the ipad 5

    I would like to add to the Safari toolbar on my ipad 5 IOS 6  machine. I have searched the web and find some instructions to do this but the words and pictures do not match what I can see. I am beginning to think this is not a capabilty of the ipad 5 but perhaps for a Mac computer running Safari. Does anyone know if it is possible to add tools to the toolbar on the latest version of iPad OS & Safari Browser? If so please tell me how. Thanks

    You cannot customize the Safari toolbar on the iPad.
    What you can do on the iPad is go to Settings>Safari>Always show Bookmarks Bar>On and that will add a bookmarks bar on to the Safari browser.

  • LR can't find some of my photos

    LR can't find some of my photos even though their location has not changed. When I tell it to locate the file and I find it, LR tells me that file number is associated with another photo.

    I am assuming no changes have been made to alter the image, in that this is an original image that you have not worked on in lightroom before.
    Find the file in your OS's file manager,
    rename the file
    In lightroom resync that folder.
    (Note: If you have a bunch of images that you have retouched in LR and did not save the metadata,
    place the renamed image in a sub folder to a folder that LR has access to or
    in LR select all of the images and hit ctrl-s or
    import that renamed image)
    That image should now be available.
