to fix this error message:
Error -10810 "The application Finder can't be opened" - fix
just go to terminal (cmd+space to open spotlight, type terminal, hit enter) and enter this (and hit enter after)
/System/Library/CoreServices/Finder.app/Contents/MacOS/Finder
finder should open then (did with me). To get the dock showing it correctly do this in terminal:
osascript -e 'tell application "Dock" to quit'
When pasting in content from word you get the things like curly quotes etc. This tool – http://www.boallen.com/clean-up-word-special-characters.html seems to clear most of them up instantly (without sending it back to their server too).
Loved my macbook air, but needed something cheap and smaller in size so i got a hackintosh netbook (samsung n150) from ebay. It was working great, until I saw an application called osx86tools, which had a tool to change the cpu name. I decided to click ‘set to default’… once i restarted it no longer worked and said the cpu family was unsupported (edit – not actually 100% sure if that was the cause…). Bit of a stupid mistake, but posting this here because it might help someone fix that error.
When booting up, press tab and you should get boot options. press tab again to get the command line and enter (no quotes) “arch=i386 recovery=y” and hit enter. doing it with just one (either arch=i386, or recovery=y) won’t work (didn’t for me anyway) – it has to be both.
It should work. Hopefully. Might have to do it every single time though…
note to self… don’t play with useless settings that won’t even do anything… also gotta get sound working on it now…

Update: under /extra there is a com.apple.boot.plist. Add this: (no quotes) “arch=i386 recovery=y” to kernel flags ( in terminal cd /extra;sudo vi com.apple.boot.plist; then edit (press i to enter insert mode) – add ‘arch=i386 recovery=y’ between the two >< under kernel flags)
If none of your kexts are loading (no sound, no wifi, and there was), might be worth checking if the kexts are installed. if not, find them again (they were in some auto made backup dir) and put them into kext helper b7 (which will auto install them)
also, try rebuilding the kext cache. there was an app called something updater that did it for me, but i can’t remember the name… i’ll try and edit this when i’m back on that machine.

Microsoft provides virtual machine disk images to facilitate website testing in multiple versions of IE, regardless of the host operating system. Unfortunately, setting these virtual machines up without Microsoft’s VirtualPC can be extremely difficult. These scripts aim to facilitate that process using VirtualBox on Linux or OS X. With a single command, you can have IE6, IE7, IE8 and IE9 running in separate virtual machines.
Install all IE versions (IE7, IE8 and IE9 – no support for IE6 currently)
curl -s https://raw.github.com/xdissent/ievms/master/ievms.sh | bash
Install specific IE versions (IE7 and IE9 only for example):
curl -s https://raw.github.com/xdissent/ievms/master/ievms.sh | IEVMS_VERSIONS=”7 9″ bash
The VHD archives are massive and can take hours or tens of minutes to download, depending on the speed of your internet connection. You might want to start the install and then go catch a movie, or maybe dinner, or both.
Once available and started in VirtualBox, the password for ALL VMs is “Password1″.
Testing out the wp plugin Syntax Hylighter Evolved.
<?
include('test.php');
$world = array(' world');
echo "hello{$world[0]}";
?>
Actually seems pretty good.
