Apple ID shows different names I just came back from a store and they couldn’t fix it, so it seems that I need to call AppleCare. |

MBP won’t wake up from sleep Sleep from Mac menu or alt + cmd + eject. Almost never put it to sleep just closing the lid. |

Why does a .DS_Store file keep appearing on the desktop? @Fendi I haven’t found one. However, if you need to see them, you can either use this widget or just fire Terminal and use ls -la in the respective folder. |

Why does a .DS_Store file keep appearing on the desktop? @Fendi The first command sets the hidden files visibility to hidden; the second one forces Finder to restart, action that is needed in order to make it take in consideration the previous command. |

Why does a .DS_Store file keep appearing on the desktop? See the Wikipedia entry on .DS_Store which explains what the file does. In short, Finder writes one in each folder to track icon locations, sized and the last window position / sort / size so you see a folder the way it was next time you open it. Desktop is always visible, hence the constant recreation of this file by the Finder. |
