Similar as on FreeBSD and Linux, you can add/remove static network routes through the command line with the route command. The syntax somewhat differs from Linux, though.
To add a route (e.g. subnet 192.168.3.0/24 to gateway 192.168.1.254):
sudo route -n add -net 192.168.3.0/24 192.168.1.254
To remove a route:
sudo route -n delete -net 192.168.3.0/24
To show the current route table, you can use netstat:
netstat -nr
I had an issue with an app being stuck in Paused mode in Launchpad, and was unable to cancel/resume the update from the App Store because it wasn't listed in the updates list.
The solution, as stated here, was to open Launchpad, hold down the mouse on the app until it started jiggling, then clicking the delete button (x). The app reappeared normally and was even updated correctly.
The reason was probably the app got updated along with a system update, and Launchpad was unaware the update was completed.
Control + Shift + Eject* | Locks your Mac so you will have to unlock it with your password. Note that this will also sleep the display but the Mac will continue to run. |
Command + Option + Eject* | Puts the entire Mac asleep. This is the same as clicking on the Apple-icon at the left-top and choose "Sleep". |
* Newer Macs: Eject = Power
To properly "lock" your Mac when using either of the shortcuts, you will have to enable Require password after sleep or screen saver begins (System Preferences → Security & Privacy). When not set to immediately, the configured delay will be used when using the shortcuts.
It may be useful to know whether your Mac has a 32-bit or 64-bit EFI. This can be done by running the following command from an OSX Terminal (can run from the installer or recovery partition):
ioreg -l -p IODeviceTree | grep firmware-abi
This should return something like the following:
• For 32-bit EFI: | | | "firmware-abi" = <"EFI32"> |
• For 64-bit EFI: | | | "firmware-abi" = <"EFI64"> |
MacPostFactor 1.0.1 has been officially released:
MacPostFactor is a tool to install Mac OSX 10.8+ on older (Intel) Macbooks that only support up to OSX 10.7 (Lion). It works through a combination of a highly customized installer, a replaced set of drivers and various frameworks, and the original install app from the App Store. The installation can be done directly on a Macbook already running OSX Lion (so no USB disk required), or on an USB media for installation on another system.
Recent models of Mac boot up with a black boot screen and white Apple logo, instead of the old gray and dark gray boot screen. DarkBoot enables older Mac systems to get the black boot screen as well. For newer Macs, the app can also change the boot screen back to the traditional gray color.
Known to work with OSX 10.10 and 10.11 DP.
