AirDrop sends files between Macs quickly and easily. Trouble is, it’s only
AirDrop, you can enter the following command to use it, as well as to use it over ethernet:

You’ll need to restart the Finder, the quickest way is to use the killall command which will restart it:
$ killall Finder
To revert the changes, enter:
$ defaults write com.apple.NetworkBrowser BrowseAllInterfaces -bool
Spotlight can occasionally not work as well as we’d
create a new index so it can find files as fast and efficiently as possible. To do this: $ sudo mdutil -E /Volumes/DriveName The above command will delete Spotlight’s index, forcing it to start a new one. SUDO requires a password which is your computer administrative password. It allow the user to execute a command as superuser or to another

The newest version of Xcode -7 includes everything you need to create apps for iPhone, iPad, Mac, and Apple Watch. The Swift programming language (Version 2) has been updated and is now faster than ever, with great features that make your code even easier to read and write. And with the new playgrounds you can experiment with new APIs or author gorgeous interactive documentation using embedded resources, additional source code, and rich text comments. Xcode’s user interface testing feature can even record your app in action and generate tests for you.
