Findmyself Mac OS

1. Find Myself Mac Os X

The good thing is that you can locate these untraceable files with Mac's Terminal environment. Here you can perform a deep search in your Mac OS, including system files, etc. Follow the steps below to use the Terminal feature: 1. Go to Applications Utilities and launch Terminal. The MacPorts Project is an open-source community initiative to design an easy-to-use system for compiling, installing, and upgrading either command-line, X11 or Aqua based open-source software on the Mac OS X operating system.

More and more frequently I find myself assisting customers with business analysis issues in Mac shops. Things can get complicated when dealing with multiple operating system platforms. A process that works great on Windows may not necessarily work on a Mac and vice versa. Throw some Unix or Linux into the mix and things get ubercomplex very quickly. To solve problems in heterogeneous computing environments, I like to have a test system with each operating system flavor at my fingertips. VirtualBox is the tool of choice for me. It's free and offers a fairly low footprint on my computer. This tutorial will teach you how to install OS X 10.6 (Snow Leopard) on VirtualBox. I know there are a lot of guides on this already, but I found none of them detailed enough and most just didn't work for me.

–UPDATE– A lot of you have been asking me about this article and stating that the instructions don't work. I can confirm that these instructions DO NOT work using the current version of VirtualBox 4.3.8, nor do they work with any recent (2013/2014) released update version of VirtualBox. The version of VirtualBox which was used for this article and did work at the time with these instructions is VirtualBox-4.1.18-78361-Win. You can still download it here.

Furthermore, after some testing, it appears that only INTEL based host systems work for these instructions. I've tested the instructions using a system running Core i3 and Core 2 Duo systems with VirtualBox-4.1.18 and the instructions do work. On a system with an AMD FX8350 processor and VirtualBox-4.1.18, however booting the virtual machine just yields a gray apple screen and no hard drive activity.

–UPDATE 2– Several users have pointed out that the following videos show how to install and run OS X Yosemite in VirtualBox 4.3.20. Instructions on how to acquire all components are in the video descriptions.

[requirements]

1. A RETAIL copy of OS X Snow Leopard ($29.99 at the Apple Store). The OS X Discs that came with your MacBook or iMac WILL NOT WORK because they are designed to only allow installation on Mac hardware.
2. ImgBurn or some other tool to let you generate an ISO file from your Snow Leopard DVD.
3. iBoot.iso (freely available here: http://www.tonymacx86.com/GYAdrDe6P1cZdIbL/iBoot-3.3.0.zip – registration is required)
4. VirtualBox v4.1.18 (freely available here: https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Download_Old_Builds_4_1)
5. A host system running an Intel processor (according to my testing).

[procedure]

[step 1] Download and install Oracle VM VirtualBox.

[step 2] Visit http://www.tonymacx86.com/ and register a new account. Then download the iBoot.iso file here: http://www.tonymacx86.com/GYAdrDe6P1cZdIbL/iBoot-3.3.0.zip. Extract the ISO file and note its location, you'll need it later. Download iBoot.iso here.

[step 3] Insert your Mac OS X Snow Leopard installation DVD into your computers DVD drive. Then open ImgBurn and create an ISO image file of the installation DVD. Note the location of this ISO file, you'll need it later.

[step 4] Open Oracle VM VirtualBox and create a new Virtual Machine. For the OS Type Operating System and Version options, select MacOS X and MacOS X Server respectively.

[step 5] Next specify the maximum amount of ram you have available for the Virtual Machine (VM). My host system has 8GB of ram, so I selected between 2 and 4GB or RAM for my VM.

[step 6] Next create a new Virtual Disk (VD) in VDI format. If you select the Dynamic Allocation option, you'll be specifying the maximum size of your virtual disk in this dialog. The disk file will only be as large as the aggregate of the data you store in your virtual machine.

[step 7] Once your VM has been created in VirtualBox, edit its settings by right clicking it. In the System->Motherboard tab, you'll want to make sure that the following options are set:

• Boot Order
  • CD/DVD Rom (checked)
  • Hard disk (checked)
  • (all others unchecked)
• Chipset
  • ICH9 (selected)
• Extended Features
  • Enable IO APIC (checked)
  • Enable absolute pointing device (checked)
  • (all others unchecked)

On the System->Processor tab, select the number of processors you want your VM to have (my host system has a Core I3 processor so I selected two).

• Processor(s):
  • 1 (or more depending on your host system capabilities)
• Execution Cap:
  • 100%
• Extended Features:
  • Enable PAE/NX (checked)

On the Storage tab, you may want to create two IDE CD/DVD drives. One should be the IDE Primary Master and one should be the IDE Primary Slave. This is optional, but you will always require one drive to have the iBoot.iso file mounted on it so I suggest having two virtual drives for mounting of other ISO files when needed.

Important: Select the IDE Primary Master drive, click the CD Icon and select Choose CD/DVD Disk file.. and select the iBoot.iso file we extracted in [step 2].

There is no need to modify any other VM Settings, so click OK when done.

[step 8] Start the VM. The poly project mac os. After a few moments of running you should see the following screen:

[Step 9] Now we will need to virtually swap the iBoot ISO image for the the OS X Snow Leopard ISO image we created in [step 3]. Here's how to do this: Cursor rage mac os.

1. Hit the CTRL key on the right hand side of your Keyboard (at any time) to gain control of your cursor for use outside the running VM.
2. Right-Clock the CD/DVD icon in the bottom right hand side of your running VM.
3. Select IDE Controller (IDE Primary Master) and select the OS X Snow Leopard ISO file we created in [step 3]
   
4. Left click the RED Apple inside the running VM to bring context control back to the VM (note your cursor will disappear). Now press the F5 key on your keyboard. This will tell the VM to check for the newly loaded ISO file. You should now see the following screen (NOTE iBoot has changed to Mac OS X Install DVD):
   
5. Hit Enter on your keyboard to start the installation of Mac OS X Snow Leopard on the VM you created.

[step 10] Follow the steps shown below in the guided OS X Installer:

NOTE: Some readers have reported a install screen without any installation destinations available at this stage. If this happens to you, it means that we'll need to format your VDI or virtual disk as Mac OS Extended before you can proceed. Here's how:

[step 10 a] From the installer menu select Utilities->Disk Utility.

[step 10 b] Select the virtual disk and then click Erase. Select the Mac Os Extended (Journaled) format and continue.

[step 10 c] When the format is complete, you should be able to proceed with the installation to the disk you formatted.

Click the available formatted disk to proceed with the installation.

[step 11] At the conclusion of the OS X installation program, you'll be asked to turn off your PC. You'll most likely see the screen below. When you do, close the virtual machine window and then select 'Power Off the machine'. Note you can also do this from the VirtualBox management console by right-clicking the running machine and selecting Close->Power Off.

[step 12] Before you start your Virtual Machine again, we'll need to make sure that the iBoot.iso file is set back as your default CD image. You can do this by editing your Virtual Machine Properties and checking to make sure the iBoot.iso file is mounted as the CD device.

[step 13] Now that your iBoot.iso file is mounted, we can start the Virtual Machine back up. After initial boot we should see the screen below. We can now use the right/left arrow keys to highlight virtual disk containing our OS X installation. Hit enter to boot the system. NOTE: whenever you change the CD device during a session, you must remember to change it back to iBoot.iso before restarting the VM. This is why I recommend creating to CD Devices. One as your primary containing the IBoot.iso image and one that you can use to mount other CD iso images.

Once your system boots, you'll be asked to complete the setup program and specify personal information.

Once completed, your Mac OS X Snow Leopard VM should be ready for use. I suggest not installing the Oracle VM VirtualBox additions since they fail during the install on my version and there is an entire forum dedicated to hackery to get these to work. Sound isn't perfect, but the VM works well enough for testing.

That's it.

As far as desktop operating systems go, they all suck, and Mac OS X sucks the least. Although I use Linux as my primary desktop OS, that's because it has been the best choice for me - a software developer (primarily interested in server-side technologies) who wants a decent desktop.

Lately, I find myself considering an exclusive use of Mac OS X on the desktop. Now, I don't consider myself a power user. (That's a term for people who are proud of their desktop OS expertise. They can fix your printer.) I really only use four desktop apps with any frequency:

• Gnome Terminal

Of these, about 80% of my day is spent in a terminal. In other words, I think my needs are pretty basic, so it should be pretty easy for me to switch to a different OS, right? Well, I hope so, but there are still some things about Mac OS X that annoy me, and I've taken the time to come up with my Top X List of Mac OS X Annoyances:

1. Separating Menu Bar from Window Is Stupid.

   Usability studies supposedly disagree, but I don't care - having the menu bar miles away from your focus is stupid. This should be common sense. It's annoying enough on a 12' screen. I'm sure it will seem much worse on a 23' screen. (Usability studies can be wrong by focusing on general ideas out of context. Location consistency is usually good.)

2. Apps Don't Really Close When You Close Them.

   When I close the last window of something, why is it still running? I know the command-Q shortcut, but that's a dangerous habit. Using the shortcut instead of clicking close just means that I'm more likely to accidentally close another window of the same app, not realizing that I still have it open. Computers are supposed to keep up with this stuff for us. That's their job.

   (My Linux desktop has more than a hundred processes running, and they don't screw up my desktop experience, so you'll have a hard time convincing me that this is a feature.)

3. Maximizing Is Broken.

   How hard can this be? Seriously. If you want to be different, that's cool, but not when it means being broken. When I maximize something, it should take up the whole screen. Get it? Leaving little gaps everywhere just means that I'll bring another app to the foreground when I accidentally click on it.

4. Alt-Tab to a Minimized App, and It Stays Minimized.

   (Yes, I know it's really command-tab, but who says that?) There are lots of reasons why alt-tab on the Mac sucks, and this is one of them. Combine this with the fact that apps don't really close when you close them, and the result is alt-tab pollution. You switch apps, but nothing happens. Is the app closed? Is it minimized? It is just the damn Finder again?

5. Too Many Option Keys.

   Function, control, alt, option, and command (which used to be called open apple and is sometimes referred to by its symbol). Which one do I use to right-click again? Which one makes the delete button delete? Surely we can get rid of one or two of these.

6. No Dedicated Page Up, Page Down, Home, or End Keys.

   I didn't realize how much I used these until they were gone. Can't we get rid of some of those option keys to make room? Even if we can't, do we really need two command keys? And how about that extra enter key? Get rid of those, and at least give us home and end.

7. Only One Desktop.

   Only one 12' desktop. Yes, Expose is cool, but it's no substitute. What's wrong with having both? Microsoft is finally adding tabs to IE - surely we can have a few desktops.

8. The Clock Sucks.

   It really sucks. Sun 10:00 AM. I want to know the date - I know it's Sunday, for crying out loud. Maybe I can change the format. Let's go look. Nope, but I can add seconds or flashing separators. Who needs the date when you can make those colons flash?

   (My Linux clock not only shows me some useful information, but I can also get a quick glimpse of the calendar by clicking it. Sorry Mac, but the Linux clock kicks your clock's ass.)

9. iPhoto Sucks.

   I know pictures are big, and I know it's tough to manage thousands of them, but damn, figure it out already.

10. Safari Sucks.

    Safari was released three years ago. I still can't tab to a select list. But, to be fair, that's probably really hard to do. (Update: See Adam's comment below.)

Find Myself Mac Os X

I hope you enjoyed my list and had a few laughs. Feel free to point out ways to get around these annoyances, and of course, let me know if any are just a result of my own ignorance. :-)

Have a great week!
