[Mac/OSX] iTunes/Mail Broken Korean Fix
Yet another better/easier method:
This should set the default language to Korean on iTunes only:
defaults write -app iTunes AppleLanguages "(ko)"
On OSX with English as the default language, Korean letters will be broken on the iTunes and Mail and here is how to fix that:
defaults write $(mdls -name kMDItemCFBundleIdentifier -raw /Applications/iTunes.app) AppleLanguages "(ko, en)"
defaults write $(mdls -name kMDItemCFBundleIdentifier -raw /Applications/Mail.app) AppleLanguages "(ko, en)"

MacPorts – MustHave
Web Site: http://www.macports.org
OS X is an UNIX OS. The Aqua GUI is nice an all but in order to get the full potential of OS X, you should know how to work with the Terminal(xterm) and scripts. Other free *NIXes have developed a nice package system and it is MacPorts that does package managements on OS X.
Requirement:
You need Apple Xcode Development Tools. Get it from AppStore(Link):
It is free!!! After it is installed, you need to accept Xcode EULA by either running xcode or entering the following command in the Terminal:
% xcodebuild -licenseGo to Applications then double click on the Xcode so it gets installed on the system.
Now the Command Line Tools needs to be installed. Go to Xcode->Preferences->Downloads:
Click on the “Install” button next the the Command Line Tools.
Now, MacPorts can be installed via .pkg/.dmg and the links are:
Mountain Lion: https://distfiles.macports.org/MacPorts/MacPorts-2.1.2-10.8-MountainLion.pkg
Lion: https://distfiles.macports.org/MacPorts/MacPorts-2.1.2-10.7-Lion.pkg
Snow Leopard: https://distfiles.macports.org/MacPorts/MacPorts-2.1.2-10.6-SnowLeopard.pkg
Leopard: https://distfiles.macports.org/MacPorts/MacPorts-2.1.2-10.5-Leopard.dmg
After downloading the .pkg/.dmg, simply double-click on it to get it installed.
Self update: in a Terminal type the following:
% sudo port -v selfupdate
x-rite i1 Display Pro Calibration – OSX
Manufacturer’s web site: http://www.xrite.com/product_overview.aspx?ID=1454
Forget the CD that comes with the calibrator, instead go to the manufacturer’s support page for the latest version of the software. In this case http://www.xrite.com/product_overview.aspx?ID=1454&Action=support&SoftwareID=1164 – download i1Profiler_v131.mpkg(you want to save it as .zip file) and open up the Downloads folder in the finder and double click on it then it will unzip and create a i1Profiler.mpkg file for you, double click on the i1Profiler.mkpg.
After installation is done, you must reboot the computer.
After everything is done. go ahead and run “i1Profiler” Applications -> i1Profiler
From here on, it will be the same procedure as Windows : http://yootopia.com/mystory/wp/2013/01/05/x-rite-i1-display-pro-calibration-windows/
