I'm a Computer Science engineer, post-graduated student and mainly interested in embedded low power devices such as mobile phones, routers etc. In my spare time I like to play with Java, Python, C, Android, iOS, raspberry pi, MacOSX and Debian GNU/Linux ;)

How does TRIM Enabler work? my best guess: even if you lock the file from editing.. the updater would just replace the file completely with a new file. You would had to remove write permission for root from the complete folder. In that specific case I assume the installer will fail as it can't write to the folder. In my opinion it's not worth the trouble. Just start Trim Enabler after an update and re-apply the patch. |

How does TRIM Enabler work? The path is usually reset on updates when Apple decides to update the mentioned kernel extensions for example to support new ssd drives (Thinking of the new ppcie ssds announced at WWDC). |

Firmware Update 1.0 for MacBook Air 2012 Not Installing @JamesManes have a look at it again. It clearly states in one of the answers that you have to disable FileVault to update the firmware as it modifies files in /system and /system is not available when the update starts as your volume is encrypted. (I am sorry if this sounded offensive in any way to you. I had no intention of offending you at all) |

Which OS X is the fastest for my old MacBook? from my personal experience (using a macbook pro 15" late 2010: upgraded vom 10.6 to 10.7 to 10.8) 10.6 Snow leopard ran the fastest .. especially in terms of battery life (Lion and Mountain noticeably have shorter battery run time due to more intensive use of graphic acceleration). Typical battery run time on a usual day @ uni: 10.6:(8-10) hours (depending on brightness etc), 10.7 (4-5 hours), 10.8 (6-7 hours) p.s. I took into the account that the battery loses its performance. |

Macbook Pro Early 2011 15 inch, Mountain Lion Booting issue Have you tried starting up the macbook in verbose mode? Press Command + V immediately after powering up the macbook. The Diagnostic output might help you to pin-down the actual problem. It might be a 3rd party kernel extensions or something that's keeping your mac from booting. |

Is it possible to insert a 8 GB RAM stick and a 2 GB RAM stick into a Mac? @davis_m, I can confirm that this macbook will not take 8GB sticks. I have a macbook pro 15" mid-2010 and 2 x 4 GB works but 2 x 8 GB doesn't. I tried it and it will boot but will immediately throw you a kernel panic. |

How to write on FAT32 and NTFS from Mountain Lion? OSX can read + write to fat32, just NTFS is read-only (without some 3rd party software). If you use Win7 you could try to use exFAT (allows for files > 4GB and is write- and readable on win7/osx |
