Safari 4 beta and Hotmail Fix

We ran across this issue in the Safari 4 build and the problems occurs when trying to check your Hotmail Account online. You will be able to log in and see your messages but not click or read anything.

Here is the fix for now if you chose to upgrade and try the new Safari.

Once Safari is open go to Safari/Preference Menu. Once your in there go to the Advanced Tab and check the Option to "Show Develop menu in menu bar"

Now you can click back to Safari and you should see a Develop Menu in the Finder bar. Click on the Develop Menu and at the Top as one of the Menu Options scroll down to User Agent and choose a Firefox Selection.

Your Hotmail should now work accordingly and you should be able to read and answer emails.

Must have iChat Add-On

iChat has plenty of useful features but there are some that were left out or not considered and that's where Chax comes in handy. This is a "Free" application that installs as a preference tab in iChat so there are plenty of options to customize. Some of the most useful options are the Auto-accept options and Unified contact list.

You forgot your "Master Password" on your Mac!

This tip has come in handy several times so let's get to it and get you on your Mac.

What you'll need is your Installer Disc that came with your Machine when you bought it. Once you've found the disc insert it and restart your machine. Upon restart hold down the "C" Key which is a keyboard shortcut for booting off the disc in your Mac. This may take a little longer then normal to boot but once you see the install screen come up you can let go of the key.

Now were not going to install anything, instead if you go up to the Menu options at the top and navigate to the Utilities/Menu and scroll down to Reset Password. From there you choose your Startup Disk and User that you want to Reset the Password for. You then enter the new password and your good to go!
