Here’s a quick tip to show the file size of selected files/folders. Generally the status bar of the Finder windows shows the count of selected files and the available hard drive space, but doesn’t show the file size. On a single file you can right-click the file and select ‘Get Info’ (Apple/Command+i) which will pop-up the ‘Get Info’ floating window, but this is no good for multiple file selection.
This is a very simple guide on how to change a file’s creation date or last modified date attributes on Mac OS X. Based on Snow Leopard 10.6, this should work on previous versions of Mac OS X.
My first day on the Apple MacBook Pro and was playing around with ‘Numbers’ and wanted to insert the hash (#) symbol in the text. For the life of me I couldn’t see the symbol anywhere on the keys of the keyboard.
After playing around for a while, I finally found it. Alt + 3. Simple when your find it, but frustrating trying to look for it. I wonder how many other querks I’ll find in the next few weeks as I slowly transition from Windows to Mac.
Just to recap, Alt + 3 to enter the # symbol.
