Passware claims FireVault 2 can be cracked in under an hour, sells you the software to prove it — Engadget. So this isn’t a big surprise. What is surprising to me is if you have physical access to the machine, why not use the easier route to unlock it?

can\’t ssh from Lion to Snow Leopard: Apple Support Communities. So IdahoBackwoods shared this. Run this command in terminal to find out what may be blocking it. For him, it turned out to be some old junk like Excel 2008 that was blocking the port.

Language. Interesting error. Nice solution by Carolyn. I have never seen this personally. I would have suspected a corrupted font for the designers that would have an issue with this.

Go to ~/Library/Preferences

Move the com.apple.systempreferences.plist file from the Preferences folder to the Trash.

Restart your Mac.
