OS X Show Scroll Bars

For those who missed the scroll bar in OS X Lion, Mountain Lion and Mavericks (Yosemite too), fear not. Just go to System Preferences > General. Select “Always” on “Show scroll bars” option.

Securifi Almond, Part 1

Almond-Securifi

I’ve heard a lot of good things about Securifi Almond but I have never used one. Just this past week, I found one of the wireless router at the office need to be replaced. That is one good excuse to get one. I hesitated a little bit because we had recently upgraded the network to Gigabit Ethernet; Securifi Almond does not have Gigabit Ethernet support. The upcoming Securifi Almond+ will have Gigabit Ethernet support.

I should be getting the unit sometimes soon.

OS X Yosemite Beta 1: Troubleshooting Download Issue

Install OS X Yosemite Beta icon

I managed to download OS X Yosemite Beta 1 in the early Thursday morning before AppleSeed site went offline. Later that day I heard reports that some people were having trouble downloading the installer. I later confirmed that I also did have trouble downloading the installer on my other Mac.

OS X Yosemite Beta 1 failed to download

Sometimes on Friday Morning, I still had trouble downloading the installer on that Mac. Interestingly, at the same I could download the installer on my primary MacBook Pro.

There is a possibility that it has soothing to do with Mac App Store cache.

Should you have trouble downloading OS X Yosemite Beta 1, try clearing up your Mac App Store cache.
