Every Mac enthusiast we know has a wealth of tricks up their sleeves. These were gotten by Ann Wright from insider@macstoresnw.com
Software installers can cause changes in file permissions, and sometimes an installer can be adversely affected due to incorrect permissions. Accordingly, use Disk Utility (in the Utilities folder) to verify or repair permissions to troubleshoot an installer that's not working correctly, and also if you experience problems immediately after installing new software. Also see Repair Permissions (OSX) on this site.
To quickly erase a bunch of CD-RW disks, open the terminal in the Applications --> Utilities folder, and type this command: drutil bulkerase quick, then press enter. You will be prompted to insert disks for erasure. When you're finished, press the control key and tap "c", or just close the terminal window.
