How To Partition Your Mac Firewire Drive for Bootable SuperDuper Backup
I’m creating a backup of my entire Macbook Pro using SuperDuper so I can run a repair against my drive without worrying about ruining anything. My system wouldn’t boot up properly Sunday night and it turns out there are a ton of files that need fixing using Apple’s Verify & Repair for the permissions and disk. I don’t have time to spend reinstalling Snow Leopard and all my applications so this is why this step is necessary even though I have my data backed up via Mozy.

Instructions from Audacity website:
How can I split a long recording into multiple files or CD tracks?
Follow these steps to create a separate file for each song or segment of a long recording. This is particularly useful if you are creating a CD, since each file will appear as a separate track on the CD.
- Click to place the cursor at the start of the first song.
- Choose “Add Label at Selection” from the Project menu. If you wish, you can type the name of the song.
- Repeat steps 1 and 2 for each song.
- When you are finished, choose “Export Multiple” from the File menu. When you click the “Export” button, Audacity will save each song as a separate file, using the format and location you choose.
A detailed, illustrated tutorial explaining this process is available on the Splitting_recordings_into_separate_tracks page on the Audacity Wiki.

How to Turn off Avira’s Annoying AntiVir Popups in XP [VIDEO]
Tired of the popups from Avira?
Just want good antivirus without being annoyed?
I read a helpful post this summer on how to turn off the annoying avira popup this summer Tipsfor.us blog. I decided to create a quick video of what you need to do in safe mode and took screenshots to illustrate all the steps to enjoy free antivirus protection without nag screens.
#1 Video overview to disable Avira popups
[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-6rGE6o44ec[/youtube]
Background Avira and the popups: Antivir is an antivirus product made by Avira. Their personal version is free for home users. It’s a good product but the popups are annoying. They constantly ask the user to purchase their premium version.
#2 Find the file avnotify
XP Professional can go straight to the file location.
XP Home will need to enter Safe Mode (hit “F8″ on your Keyboard during bootup)
Copy and paste this into Start>Run
“C:Program FilesAviraAntiVir PersonalEdition Classic”
Find avnotify.exe
#3 Right Click File Properties
Right click and select “Properties”
#4 Select Security Tab
Select the “Security” tab
(If you don’t see the “Security” tab, you need to turn off Simple File Sharing)
- Click Start, and then click My Computer.
- On the Tools menu, click Folder Options.
- Click the View tab.
- In the Advanced Settings section, clear the Use simple file sharing (Recommended) check box.
- Click OK.
#5 Click Advanced Button
Select the “Advanced” button
#6 Click Edit Accounts
Select the “Edit” for each account
#7 Select Deny Permission
Click “Deny” for “Traverse Folder / Execute File” for each account listed
#8 Launch Avira Antivir
Launch Avira. I did this while still in Safe Mode and it threw up the errors you see in the video so launch it once you reboot.
#9 Enter Administration
Click “Administration” on the left
#10 Change Scheduler
Click “Scheduler” on the left
#11 Modify Update Behavior
Right Click “Daily Update” and select “Edit Job”
#12 Make Updates Invisible
Click “Next” Twice until you get to the “Selection of the Display Mode” option. From the dropdown choose “Invisible”
And that’s it! You won’t see the ANNOYING POP-UPS asking you to pay Avira $30 bucks.
