MySQL install on Mac creates no user, how to get access as root
by GeorgianaSo, you installed mySql on your Mac and there’s no way to work with it, create DBs, and do any other task you need because it has no privileges?
You may either not be able to connect at all (even mysql -u root fails in your case) or you can connect, but your command-line mysql tells you something like:
mysql> use information_schema
Database changed
mysql> select * from USER_PRIVILEGES;
+----------------+---------------+----------------+--------------+
| GRANTEE | TABLE_CATALOG | PRIVILEGE_TYPE | IS_GRANTABLE |
+----------------+---------------+----------------+--------------+
| ''@'localhost' | def | USAGE | NO |
+----------------+---------------+----------------+--------------+
1 row in set (0.00 sec)
Let’s see what we can do to fix that and get you working on more important things.
1. If the mysqld server is already running on your Mac, stop it first with:
launchctl unload -w ~/Library/LaunchAgents/com.mysql.mysqld.plist
2. Start the mysqld server with the following command which lets anyone log in with full permissions.
mysqld_safe --skip-grant-tables
3. Run mysql -u root to log in successfully without a password.
4. Reset all the root passwords. Make sure to replace ‘NewPassword’ with something more secure.
UPDATE mysql.user SET Password=PASSWORD('NewPassword') WHERE User='root'; FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
5. Because writing your scripts with root access is not a good practice, make yourself a favor and create a new user now, using a command like
grant all on *.* to 'your_username_here'@'localhost' identified by 'your_favorite_password_here';
6. Kill the running copy of mysqld_safe. sudo killall -9 mysqld Phew.
7. Start mysql again without the skip-grant-tables option:
8. You should be able to log in with mysql -u root -p and the new password you just set and also with the user that you created before.
That was simple, wasn’t it?

Migrating phone book from Nokia XpressMusic to Android using a Mac
by GeorgianaLooks complicated, huh? Especially when people say there’s no real Mac-to-Android sync software.
But we’re all tekkies here, we solve stuff, and don’t complain about it 
And we’re using free software to do it, yummy!
All you need is PhoneDirector to get your Nokia agenda on the Mac. Just install it and follow the instructions, you should be just fine. After you get all this, export them into a .vcf file, we’ll need it in a moment.
Now, to get this info in the Android is really a piece of cake. Go to the Contacts settings in Gmail and import the .vcf file you generated with PhoneDirector. Then go to your Android phone and sync your contacts. Ta-da! Welcome to the Google world!
NB: if you’re having a hard time finding the Contacts in the Gmail app, like I did, look immediately under your labels list.
The above steps weren’t good for you? Then you might need to take a look at this.
How to restore your Mac settings
