Find locked files in Mac OS X (via Terminal)

Open Terminal.

type: find /Users/youraccountname/ -flags uchg

This will search your home directory for any file that is locked (user locked, or 'immutable' flag).

Got this great info from the manual pages of 'find' and 'chflags'.
man find
man chflags

Happy hunting for those "locked" files!

I’m A Mac


We carved our pumpkins tonight! I just had to do the Apple logo. While I was thinking about what to carve, one of those "I'm a PC" commercials came on. So, since I love Mac's I thought hey! what a perfect idea! Then I had to record myself as in the commericals!

ical Google Calendar Sync

I found this great article straight from the Google Calendar Help. I have this problem of syncing. We all do. But follow this help article to get your calendars two-way syncing with ical and Google Calendar (gCal) using webdav.

Its simple to do and keeps things in sync, even on my iphone! Down side is that I still can only create to-do's in my local ical calendar as well as from my iphone, but I'm working on an automated solution to copy my events from my local calendar to my main google calendar. But the interface from ical is great and doesn't require the use of Spanning Sync or BusySync which I was considering.
