Rescue Kit for Mac

A few days ago, we brought you CampTune from Paragon Software. This group of software manufacturers offers some really interesting tools to help you improve the whole Mac user experience.

When it comes to recovering from a crash, you have many options and paths to take. It will always depend on the kind and source of trouble you encounter. One of my favorite options to recover from a classic crash (as in the Mac-won’t-start-after-an-update crash) is to connect a Firewire cable between the healthy Mac and the sick Mac, start the troubled system with the T key pressed on the keyboard, and try a few things like re-installing the problematic update, going backwards to a restore, or just backing up my data and reinstalling the system.

You have many options, and we’ll introduce a very nice one after the break.

Easily resizing your Boot Camp partition with CampTune

If you’ve ever found yourself in the position where you need or want to install Windows (natively) on your Mac, you are probably familiar with Apple’s Boot Camp software. Boot Camp allows you to set a native Windows installation on your Mac easily. The application takes care of everything, and makes the process of creating a target partition, beginning the installation process and installing the right drivers, a very simple task.

But, if you are a Windows user on a Mac with Boot Camp, you may also be familiar with a common problem involving disk space. As soon as you begin installing software (productivity apps, games, antivirus, antispam, and general utilities), you become aware that free space will be eventually gone, forcing you to take action and solve the situation.

Learn of an easy way to do it after the break.
