Over in the Macworld forums , a reader recently asked a common question that can be paraphrased as, 'How can I get Mac OS X to put the date , in addition to the time, in the menu bar?'
You can actually do this with some tinkering in the Formats tab of the International pane of System Preferences: First you click on the Customize button in the Dates section and then configure your preferred date format; select that format and copy it to the Clipboard (Edit: Copy). Cancel out of that dialog and then click on Customize in the Times section; choose Medium from the Show pop-up menu and then paste (Edit: Paste) your date format into the time format field. Assuming you've enabled, in the Date & Time pane of System Preferences, the option to show the date and time in the menu bar, that display will now include the date!
But that process is a kludge. A clever kludge that works, but a kludge nonetheless. I personally prefer to use one of the myriad utilities out there that let you easily add the date to the menu bar and also give you additional features. I've covered a couple shareware products myself in the past, and in the forums thread noted above, fellow Macworld readers suggested a number of others. However, one that wasn't mentioned, but is definitely worth a look, is Charcoal Design's MagiCal 1.0.9r1 ( ; payment requested).

Launch MagiCal and the first thing you'll notice (besides the fact that you likely now have two clocks in the menu bar—you'll need to turn OS X's own off) is that you've got the time and a small calendar icon displaying today's date. Click on the time or date and you'll see a nifty, drop-down calendar; you can switch months by clicking the left or right arrow, or by clicking on the month or year, each of which provides a pop-up menu for quickly switching to a given month or year, respectively.
But that's just the default display; via MagiCal's preferences dialog, you can customize many aspects of MagiCal's appearance. For example, you can choose between a digital or analog time display; choose the display font, color, and size; and choose the time format from among 16 options (or even create your own format).
You can similarly customize the date display, choosing between calendar-icon graphics or a textual display, with format and font options for the latter. Idius revenge mac os.
Dont be soup! mac os. Other options include a floating tooltip that shows the date and time—again, in the format you choose—whenever you hover the mouse cursor over the MagiCal display in the menu bar; and the ability to force MagiCal's display to be positioned on the very right or left side of the menu-extra area of the menu bar.
Finally, one other useful feature is the ability to drag MagiCal's drop-down calendar off the menu bar and position it anywhere on your screen, where it will stay until you close it. A setting in the preferences dialog lets you choose whether the calendar acts like a palette (floating above all other windows) or part of the Desktop (sitting behind all other windows).
Oddly, MagiCal uses a Dashboard-widget-like preferences button (it looks like a lower-case i ) that appears only when you move your mouse cursor over the drop-down calendar, making it difficult to figure out how to access the preferences dialog; I'd prefer a static—and more-obvious—button. (Even more oddly, instead of 'flipping' the calendar around, as a similar button would do on a Widget, pressing the button gives you a pop-up menu with several options, including the Preferences command.)
MagiCal is a nifty way to customize your menu bar's date and time display far beyond what Mac OS X's own functionality will allow. Although there are a few similar utilities out there that provide more features than MagiCal, most are shareware or commercial software. Free is tough to beat (although if you find MagiCal useful, I encourage you to send the developer a donation, through the link on the MagiCal Web site, to encourage future development).

I have been wanting to get into MTGO cause I usually can't make it to FNM, and I thought being on a Mac would stop that, How can I get MTGO on my mac?
Any Information would be helpful.
I asked Marshall to answer this question for the blog. Here's his response! -Jon
I get this question a lot. Here is the setup I use, it's pretty easy:
1. Virtualization software
The best platformer on earth mac os. This is different than emulation software, and there are two main products for this: Parallels Desktop and VMWare Fusion. I use Parallels but have used VMWare in the past and been pleased. Color shooter (min4899) mac os. You need to purchase this software and install it on your Mac. This will allow you to install and run Windows while running OSX.
2. Windows
You will need a licensed copy of Windows to install as a virtual machine on your Mac. You can install any Windows OS that will run MTGO, I use Windows 7 as I find it the most stable, with the least maintenance.
Magicolors Mac Os Catalina
After you get Parallels or similar installed, you can install Windows as a virtual machine. Your chosen program will give you instructions and they have really made it very easy to do this. Then just install MTGO on Windows and your are good to go.
Another option if you don't need to run Windows at the same time as using Boot Camp, which is free and comes preinstalled on your Mac computer. This is called 'Dual-booting', where instead of running Mac OSX and Windows at the same time, you choose which one you want to run when you turn on the computer. You still have to have a licensed copy of Windows to do this.
You can install Windows and MTGO on it and just boot into a Windows machine when you want to play. This is not particularly convenient though as you have to reboot the computer just to play MTGO and you can't access your Mac apps while you are doing this.
I recommend just shelling out some extra money for Parallels or VMWare Fusion, as they run excellently on both my 11″ Macbook Air and my 27″ iMac.

**MTGO V4 Update 7/23/14**
I had terrible issues with the V4 client shortly after its launch. The adventures of dash mac os. The client would boot me 4-5 times per draft, forcing me to relog and miss picks.
Listener Alan wrote in with a fix:
Mac Os Versions
If you have your Parallels Virtual Machine configured in the default manner, the network connection type will be Shared Network, as seen here:
The problem is that it will renew the DHCP Lease every 30 minutes with this setup. This shouldn't be an issue, but the V4 client of MTGO is touchy about the connection, and will boot you every time it resets.
If you change your 'Type' to Default Adapter like this:
The program will renew the lease every 24 hours, eliminating the problem.
If you find yourself with constant disconnect issues, this should fix it (it did for me).
Good luck!
