http://mrdocrock.com – There will come a time when you would like to simply transfer a file from one iOS device to another or to a Mac, it’s inevitable. When the time arises you will discover as most of us have already the process is not as straight forward as one would think considering how powerful these devices are. The most common methods used have been emailing oneself, cloud services like [iCloud](http://dcrk.me/186LxoY “iCloud”) or [Dropbox](http://dcrk.me/hQdFBs “Dropbox”), file sync with the USB cable and [iTunes](http://dcrk.me/16EJDy1 “iTunes”) or pleading with the always capricious [Camera Connection Kit](http://dcrk.me/16EJGdb “Camera Connection Kit”).
Thankfully the developers at [TwoManShow](http://twomanshow.co/ “Two Man Show”) have developed a wonderful app to take the pain out of cross device file transfers with their [Instashare](http://instashareapp.com/ “Instashare”) app.
[Instashare for iOS](http://dcrk.me/16EJJpg “Instashare on the App Store”) is like AirDrop for mobile as it quickly and painlessly copies any file from device to device over WiFi or Bluetooth without a direct connection to the internet.
[Instashare for OSX](http://dcrk.me/16EJNFC “Instashare for Mac”) currently in beta, adds the ability to send files to and from your Mac and your iOS devices.
Both versions of Instashare are free; however, the iOS version is ad supported and the ads can be removed by a $0.99 in app purchase. Instashare for Android and Windows are currently in development.

http://mrdocrock.com – If you are looking for a way to get more out of your MacBook or MacBook Pro one of the first things you’ll hear is get a solid-state drive (SSD). SSDs offer faster data read and write speeds, fast file transfers, speedier boot times and will save you some battery life. In the past SSDs were considered somewhat pricey upgrades and out of reach for many users. Recently the prices have dropped significantly and quality drives can be had for a song through retailers like Amazon and OWC.

Inspired by a conversation with the guys at Dolly Drive about proper backup strategy I wanted to create a clone-sized partition to mirror my SSD. I had an extra external drive on my desk but like most it already had some important data on it. In this video I will show you how to add a partition to an existing drive so it can be repurposed to make a clone of your boot drive.
I’ll be using Dolly Drive Revo and a free [Dolly Drive 10GB Account](http://dcrk.me/16LiUet
“Dolly Drive 10GB Free Promo”) and Disk Utility from Mountain Lion. The actual cloning can also be done with [Caron Copy Cloaner](http://bombich.com/ “Carbon Copy Cloner”) or [Super Duper](http://dcrk.me/Z557z6
“Super Duper”) if you prefer.
Warning: Before you attempt any disc related modifications, please be sure to have a backup of the data contained on that drive. To watch on Youtube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hAcM6Z_s0zc Please subscribe to the channel
I found a really useful free web service called Can I Stream (canistreamit.com) It that allows you to search for your favorite shows and movies to see if they are available on popular streaming, rental and digital purchase services. Can I Stream It offers a feature that notifies you when a currently unavailable program or film later becomes available on your selected services.

Today we’re going talk about filtering spam from Mail on Mountain Lion. Most people use Mail to read, manage, and process their emails. Needless to say everyday when you open your email, low and behold sitting in your Inbox waiting for you are the dreaded spam emails. If you have email, you have spam – that’s just the way it works. I will show you how to better manage your spam so you can simplify your life and decrease your email processing time.
Built-in Spam Filtering
Mail has built in spam filtering turned on by default. We’ll review how to be sure it’s on as well as fine tune it to get the most out of built in spam filtering. In the Junk Mail setting under the Preference menu, make sure that the box “Enable junk mail filtering” is selected. The same menu allows you to tweak your spam filters a bit by directing spam where to go when it arrives and adding some exemptions to the junk mail filtering.
In the Viewing setting under the Preference menu, be sure to turn off the feature “Display remote images in HTML messages.” Certain spammers send out messages with web bugs that notify the spammer that your email is an active email account once you click on the message. Your email then gets added to a list of known active emails which then generates more spam for you, not good. Turning off this feature prevents the spammer from recognizing your email as an active email account.
Creating Rules
In addition to the general spam filters, Mail allows you to create specific rules to fine tune your spam filtering process. One helpful method is to create a new mailbox especially designed for those email messages that fit the spam criteria. Once your new mailbox is created and properly labeled (i.e. “Spam-ish”) you can go to the Rules setting under the Preference menu. In the Rules setting you can create specific actions based on a predetermined set of criteria. For example, if all the Content-Type Contains “multipart/related” then Move Message into the designated folder which you just created. Now that you’ve set the Rules, any message that fit the criteria you’ve specified will automatically go into your designated spam folder.
Fine Tuning
All spam filters are not 100% fool proof so there will be those messages that are not spam that get labeled as spam and vice versa. Mail allows you to select a message and click on “Not Junk” or “Load Image” which will correct the labeling of the message. The more you work with and fine tune the settings, the application will become better at recognizing spam and will become trained to accept or reject messages from a particular sender. A good rule of thumb is to review your Junk mail folder periodically to make sure any messages don’t slip through the cracks.
Other Options
Another option would be to not use Mail because if the email doesn’t get to your computer, it can’t harm you. Using iCloud or Gmailor other webmail services can help add a buffer between spam and your computer.
Third Party Spam Utilities
There are also third party spam utilities that many people find useful and highly effective. SpamSieve from C-Command Software has done a really nice job with their spam filters. The cost is US$30.00 and they also offer a Free Trial.
SaneBox (http://dcrk.me/gosanebox) is another online application which helps to sort your email into proper boxes and reduces your email processing time and an added feature is that it runs through spam amazingly well. The Smart filtering feature of SaneBox reads your email messages, determines the level of importance, and moves unimportant messages out of the Inbox. The @SaneBlackHole will not only delete your spam messages but makes sure you never receive email from the sender again and also automatically unsubscribes you from the mailing list. You can also defer processing your email by placing your email in the “@SaneTomorrow” or “@SaneNextWeek” folder and it will automatically pop back into your Inbox when the time comes. The cost for SaneBox is US$5.00/month but if you refer other people you’ll receive extra credits.
Hopefully by using these techniques the only place you will see spam is in your musubi.
