TimeMachineEditor
Oct 8 2009
*****

ENDUSERGUY  As a former Unix/SunOS/Solaris System Admin, I am addicted to backups. Unix is the power behind the MacOS X systems, and although very stable, people still manage to damage and otherwise destroy files. Backups of your stuff, as George Carlin would call it (RIP), is more important than you know until you destroy something yourself. With that in mind, I'm always looking for backup options.

Since the release of Leopard, Time Machine is the answer for the every-day, average user of Macs. However, Apple has a BAD habit of making too many decisions in your behalf. Time Machine lacks flexibility in backup scheduling. It's once per hour, manual (hidden in the Menu Bar menu) or nothing at all. Enter TimeMachineEditor.

TimeMachineEditor gives you the options the Time Machine should have had in the first place. Hey, this is free, trying to make life a smoother sail for you. You can always turn it off, but all Time Machine users should give this a try.

*I am in no way connected to anything directly or indirectly associated with TimeMachineEditor. I'm only a very satisfied user a=of a great little utility. I also use iDrive and CCC. I sleep very well.

Trash-B-Gone
Jul 21 2009

ENDUSERGUY  To start, I agree with all comments that have come before this one. I don't think this "developer" knows RAM from disk space, or was it simply a misstatement?

I use AppTrap, a Preference Pane, and am very satisfied. I download and try out many apps every week, creating lots of preference files etc. AppTrap finds these files when I delete an app and asks if I'd like to delete them as well. These files are what can eventually eat up a lot of disk space.

Of course, if you are using only 20% of your hard drive, who cares? :-)

Trash-B-Gone

ANONYMOUS  i agree app trap or appzapper both do that but this does something totally different. than those two. what it does is when you just empty your trash nomraly using what the mac provides you it still keeps the files just really small things so you don't get allllll of your memmory your disk space back. from what youd eleted and you can always recover those files. with this it does an automator thing that what it does is runs a terminal command which deletes your trash really fast and also make it so you cna't recover it and you get all your disk space back from the stuff that is in your trash. i mostly think it's helpful that it empties the trash so fast instead of having to wait hours

GERWINPHILIPPO  Would you use something made by a developer that doesn't know memory from disk space?

iPhoneRing Importer
Apr 8 2008
*****

ENDUSERGUY  THis little ditty works like a charm. I downloaded an MP3 ringtone from Mobiles24.com then opened iPhoneRing Importer, navigated to my new MP3 file and whamo! It even placed the file with the correct suffix into the correct folder. All I had to do then was sync the iPhone.

An English localization would be helpful.

This is a good application. rated 3 for French only, otherwise all 5s.
