You would have to creat a smart playlist with these rules:

“playlist – is not – (name of playlist)” repeat for all of your playlists

Disable Ping Drop-downs in iTunes

Albahar80 — Sun, 06 Nov 2011 09:37:46 +0000

iTunes 10.0.1 introduces a new feature: most items now have a ‘Ping’ dropdown button where the Music Store arrow links used to be. These appear even if you’ve disabled Ping.

The buttons cannot be disabled in the UI, but there’s a Terminal fix to do it.

First, quit iTunes just in case. Then, start Terminal.app and enter:

defaults write com.apple.iTunes hide-ping-dropdown 1

When iTunes is restarted, the Ping buttons should have disappeared. To reverse, just repeat, using ’0′ rather than ’1′, or alternatively delete the setting altogether to ensure default behavior:

defaults delete com.apple.iTunes hide-ping-dropdown

Unfortunately, the old ‘show-store-arrow-links’ hack no longer works. However, it turns out the setting has just changed to ‘show-store-link-arrows’ and now defaults to off to allow for the default Ping buttons. To restore the arrows:

defaults write com.apple.iTunes show-store-link-arrows 1

Combine this with the invaluable ‘invertStoreLinks’ setting:

defaults write com.apple.iTunes invertStoreLinks 1

Now the arrows will cross-reference within your own iTunes Library. Far more useful than either Ping or the iTunes Store!

[crarko adds: I tested this, and it works as described. Four people submitted versions of this hint with 24 hours of the release of iTunes 10.0.1. This one was first. Note that you can freely substitute TRUE for '1' and FALSE for '0' in any of these commands, and changing the values back to 0 will restore the original setting given by Apple.]

Disable ‘Reopen windows when logging back in’

Albahar80 — Sun, 06 Nov 2011 08:58:01 +0000

Disable ‘Reopen windows when logging back in’

To permanently disable ‘Reopen windows when logging back in,’ you can use the following command:

defaults write com.apple.loginwindow TALLogoutSavesState -bool false

This will effectively disable ‘Reopen windows when logging back in,’ though the checkbox will still be ticked. However, this switch resets itself every time on reboot. To prevent this from happening, again we remove write permissions on the file containing the option:

chmod a-w ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.loginwindow.plist

This should do it. But there’s where OS X gets nasty. When it can’t write to this file, it will try to put the write permissions back itself. The solution is to change the owner to root, effectively preventing anyone (but root) from changing permissions on the file:

sudo chown root ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.loginwindow.plist

To reverse this, simply issue the following commands:

sudo chown $USER ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.loginwindow.plist
chmod a+w ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.loginwindow.plist
defaults write com.apple.loginwindow TALLogoutSavesState -bool true

Disable Saved Application States in Lion

Albahar80 — Sun, 06 Nov 2011 08:49:15 +0000

Disable Saved Application States

1- removes any saved application states:

rm -r ~/Library/Saved\ Application\ State/*

2- Permanently prevent Application from writing its state:

chmod -R a-w ~/Library/Saved\ Application\ State/

To re-enable the feature, issue the same command, but replace ‘a+w’ with of ‘a-w’:

chmod -R a+w ~/Library/Saved\ Application\ State/

What is VPS?

Albahar80 — Sun, 12 Jun 2011 11:38:46 +0000

What is VPS? Virtual private server (VPS)

A VPS is a virtual machine running in software on the same physical computer as other customers’ virtual machines and is functionally equivalent to a separate physical computer.

Virtual private servers bridge the gap between “shared web hosting” services and “dedicated hosting” services, giving independence from other customers of the VPS service in software terms but at less cost than a physical dedicated server.

What is Cloud server?

A VPS, which is dynamic, (that is, it can be changed at runtime) is often referred to as a cloud server. Key attributes for this are:

- Additional hardware resources can be added at runtime (CPU, RAM) – Server can be moved to other hardware while the server is running (automatically according to load in some cases)
