Time Machine To The Rescue
My Mac has been crashing a ton. I think I figured out what is was. Ever since I began working on the Hebrew files, my Mac would freeze up, completely. I would have to do a hard reboot (I hate doing those).
This morning my Mac froze up, and when it came back on, all my Safari (browser) preferences, were gone. I had a lot of preferences in there, to have Safari work fast with me. :)
In any event, I decided to use Time Machine to restore my safari preferences, which is under /Library/Preferences and then Safari.plist.
I fired up Time Machine, went back a day in time and clicked in Safari.plist and then clicked restore. It asked me, are you sure you want to replace it, and I said yes.
All my preferences were back in a matter of seconds!
This was the first time I really used Time Machine to restore anything, since setting it up in January 2008. I did restore off using SuperDuper in the past.
