Change the default location for screenshots. If you don’t want macOS to save screenshots to your Desktop when you press Command-Shift-3, you can change the default location in Terminal. Defaults write com.apple.screencapture location path to folder where you want screenshots to be saved Hit Return. Killall SystemUIServer. Well, you can actually search man pages right from within Terminal, and here’s how you can do that! Open the Terminal program, which lives in your Applications Utilities folder. As I did earlier, type “man” followed by the command for which you’d like to read the man page.

‎Create gorgeous documents in minutes with the Pages for Mac word processor. Start with an Apple-designed template to instantly create gorgeous reports, digital books, resumes, posters and more. Or use a blank document and create your own design. Easily add images, movies, audio, charts and shapes.

Use the sidebar of the Storage pane to sort through items by category, see how much space is used, and quickly find documents, apps, books, movies, backups, and other files. Then delete what you no longer need.

Note: The categories you see vary, depending on the apps and files on your Mac.

1. Choose Apple menu > About This Mac, click Storage, then click Manage.

2. Click a category in the sidebar:

   • Applications, Music, TV, Messages, and Books: These categories list files individually. To delete an item, select the file, then click Delete.

     Note: If you delete an item that you got from the iTunes Store, the App Store, or Apple Books using your Apple ID, the item is still in iCloud, and you can download it again.

   • Documents: See all the documents on your Mac. You can quickly view large files or downloads by clicking the corresponding button, and sort files by clicking Name, Kind, Last Accessed, or Size near the top of the window. You can also click File Browser to view the contents and amount of storage used by various folders in your file system.

     Note: Some folders and files that are already represented by categories in the sidebar—other than Documents—are dimmed.

     To delete a file, select it, then click Delete; click Show in Finder to view the file in the Finder.

   • iCloud Drive, Photos, Music Creation, and Mail: These categories provide general recommendations for optimizing storage. To accept the recommendation, click the button.

   • iOS files: See iOS backup and firmware files listed individually. To delete an item, select the file, then click Delete.

   • Trash: Click Empty Trash to erase all the items in the Trash.

Data Duplicator, convert and copy a file. Copy standard input to the standard output.

Input data is read and written in 512-byte blocks. If input reads are short, input from multiple reads are aggregated to form the output block. When finished, dd displays the number of complete and partial input and output blocks and truncated input records to the standard error output.

ascii, oldascii
The same as the unblock value except that characters are translated from EBCDIC to ASCII before the records
are converted. (These values imply unblock if the operand cbs is also specified.) There are two conversion maps for ASCII. The value ascii specifies the recommended one which is compatible with AT&T System V UNIX. The value oldascii specifies the one used in historic AT&T UNIX and pre-4.3BSD-Reno systems.
block
Treats the input as a sequence of newline or end-of- file terminated variable length records independent of input and output block boundaries. Any trailing new-line character is discarded. Each input record is converted to a fixed length output record where the length is specified by the cbs operand. Input records shorter than the conversion record size are padded with spaces. Input records longer than the conversion record size are truncated. The number of truncated input records, if any, are reported to the standard error output at the completion of the copy.

ebcdic, ibm, oldebcdic, oldibm
The same as the block value except that characters are translated from ASCII to EBCDIC after the records are converted. (These values imply block if the operand cbs is also specified.) There are four conversion maps for EBCDIC. The value ebcdic specifies the recommended one which is compatible with AT&T System V UNIX. The value ibm is a slightly different mapping, which is compatible with the AT&T System V UNIX ibm value. The values oldebcdic and oldibm are maps used in historic AT&T UNIX and pre-4.3BSD-Reno systems.
lcase Transform uppercase characters into lowercase characters.
noerror
Do not stop processing on an input error. When an input error occurs, a diagnostic message followed by the current input and output block counts will be written to the standard error output in the same format as the standard completion message. If the sync conversion is also specified, any missing input data will be replaced with NUL bytes (or with spaces if a block oriented conversion value was specified) and processed as a normal input buffer. If the sync conversion is not
specified, the input block is omitted from the output. On input files which are not tapes or pipes, the file offset will be positioned past the block in which the error occurred using lseek(2).
notrunc
Do not truncate the output file. This will preserve any blocks in the output file not explicitly written by dd. The notrunc value is not supported for tapes.
osync
Pad the final output block to the full output block size. If the input file is not a multiple of the output block size after conversion, this conversion forces the final output block to be the same size as preceding blocks for use on devices that require regularly sized blocks to be written. This option is incompatible with use of the bs=n block size specification.
sparse
If one or more output blocks would consist solely of NUL bytes, try to seek the output file by the required space instead of filling them with NULs, resulting in a sparse file.
swab
Swap every pair of input bytes. If an input buffer has an odd number of bytes, the last byte will be ignored during swapping.
sync
Pad every input block to the input buffer size. Spaces are used for pad bytes if a block oriented conversion value is specified, otherwise NUL bytes are used.
ucase Transform lowercase characters into uppercase characters.
unblock
Treats the input as a sequence of fixed length records independent of input and output block boundaries. The length of the input records is specified by the cbs operand. Any trailing space characters are discarded and a newline character is appended.

Where sizes are specified, a decimal, octal, or hexadecimal number of bytes is expected. If the number ends with a b, k, m, g, or w, the number is multiplied by 512, 1024 (1K), 1048576 (1M), 1073741824 (1G) or the number of bytes in an integer, respectively. Two or more numbers can be separated by an x to indicate a product.

When finished, dd displays the number of complete and partial input and output blocks, truncated input records and odd-length byte-swapping blocks to the standard error output. A partial input block is one where less than the input block size was read. A partial output block is one where less than the output block size was written. Partial output blocks to tape devices are considered fatal errors. Otherwise, the rest of the block will be written. Partial output blocks to character devices will produce a warning message. A truncated input block is one where a variable length record oriented conversion value was specified and the input line was too long to fit in the conversion record or was not newline ter- minated.

Normally, data resulting from input or conversion or both are aggregated into output blocks of the specified size. After the end of input is reached, any remaining output is written as a block. This means that the final output block might be shorter than the output block size.

The name dd is thought to be an allusion to the DD statement found in IBM's Job Control Language (JCL), where the acronym stands for 'Data Description'.

If dd receives a SIGINFO signal, the current input and output block counts will be written to the standard error output in the same format as the standard completion message. If dd receives a SIGINT signal, the current input and output block counts will be written to the standard error output in the same format as the standard completion message and dd will exit.

Examples:

Clone the drive sda onto drive sdb:
$ dd if=/dev/sda of=/dev/sdb

Clone the drive hda onto an image file:
$ dd if=/dev/hda of=/image.img

Copy a CD or DVD disc to a .iso image file, first unmounting the disc:
sudo umount /dev/dvd-device
dd if=/dev/dvd-device of=dvd.iso bs=2048 conv=sync,notrunc
# dvd-device will typically be dvd for a dvd disc or cdrom for a cdrom disc.

Clone a hard drive to a zipped image file in 100Mb blocks:
$ dd if=/dev/hda bs=100M | gzip -c > /image.img

Create a 10 KB file filled with random data (10 x 1K blocks):
$ dd if=/dev/random of=random.bin bs=1024 count=10

Completely wipe the hard drive hdz by overwriting it with random data:
$ dd if=/dev/urandom of=/dev/hdz
