Fix overheating iMac the easy way
iMacThe first thing you should do is download and install fan control software. We 
recommend smcFanControl 2.2.2. This is a free software utility that lets you set a 
minimum speed for your iMac's built-in fans. It works only with Intel Macs, and won't 
go beneath a minimum speed so you can't overheat your iMac, and it won't stop the 
fans whirring it up when the iMac gets too hot. It's just a means of increasing the 
work the fans do all of the time to keep down the general temperature of your iMac's 
components.

In the event described above in which your iMac has overheated and shut down we recommend 
setting a minimum fan speeds of 2800rpm for the CPU and 2200rpm for the hard drive. See 
if that helps - you can always increase the fan's work further.

DevonThink Professional Office: http://www.devontechnologies.com/products/devonthink/

DevonThink makes organizing your stuff easier. Between documents, PDFs, and smart folders, it’s easy for a Mac to overflow with information. DevonThink Pro Office uses databases and tags (which we’ve seen before), to help wrangle all of your files.
The primary reason DevonThink can be valuable to paperless offices is its support for OCR, which translates text from scanned documents and PDFs into searchable text.

  Reset Login Keychain Password -- No matter which of these methods you use to reset a forgotten administrator 
  password, it won’t update the password protecting the account’s login keychain, which stores all of the user’s 
  passwords. Since the keychain is protected by the now-forgotten administrator password, there’s no way to get 
  back into it. Newer versions of Mac OS X may prompt about this problem at startup; otherwise you’ll need to 
  delete the keychain and start it over again, using these steps:

iTunes: How to Burn a High-Quality Audio CD

http://sound-studio.en.softonic.com/mac

Sound Studio is an easy to use but powerful application for recording and editing audio on your Mac.

It's ideal for anyone that wants to digitize tapes, vinyl records, record live performances, create their own mixes with crossfades, tweak levels and EQ settings, apply digital effects, and save the results in most major file formats. Alternatively, it's useful for anyone that wants to record and edit lectures, sermons, radio broadcasts and just about anything that you can record onto a digital audio recorder.

Note however that you can't save recording in MP3 format using Sound Studio

I will not use this software!!!!! from the google-search this here is announced as "free" and then it turns out to be only a 9-times use trial. This is unfair business practize. I… More

TNEF's Enough allows Macs to read and extract files from Microsoft TNEF stream files. The files are usually received by SMTP based e-mail programs from Microsoft Exchange and Microsoft Outlook users. The SMTP based e-mail program will usually receive either a MIME attachment named “winmail.dat” or a MIME attachment with the type “application/ms-tnef.”
