A: Hi i also have an ipad running ios 6 and i want to update it to Ios 8.4
It's still updating right now through itunes on my laptop and not through air. It says here that it will take 1.67 GB and it takes 2-5hours of download, i hope this helped
A: iOS 8 = 1.1GB
iOS 8 Installer Package = 4.6GB
iOS 8 Install Package also = ouch!
iOS 8 requires 4.6GB when you do it over the air [not connected to your computer], it's greatly reduced when you do it from your computer. There are tutorials out there that can guide you through the process to limit the iOS 8 catastrophe you might have heard about. People had to delete apps, photos, music etc just to download the new iOS because it required 4.6GB of free space to download even though iOS8 isn't actually 4.6GB or even close to it.
So the question is relative, your not really losing space, although you kind of are losing space. You have to have a certain amount just to download to the device, but the ostracized disk space not taken up after the install can once again be used to hold your apps, music etc that you deleted prior to the download. The decompressed version of the update will be deleted once the process is complete.
My recommendation : Forego all of this plug it up to your computer download/install from iTunes.

Q: Reverse Reading List Order in Safari for iOS I want to read through my reading list in the order that I add links, but making use of the seamless page to page scrolling functionality requires that I read them starting with the one I added most recently.
Is there a way to reverse this?

Q: "Ghost text" in terminal, Yosemite + TotalTerminal (formerly Visor) There's "ghostet text" in my terminal (see screenshot), and I'm hoping someone knows how to fix this…
Turning background transpareny off fixes the problem, but it's not a solution which I'm a fan of.
I tried cranking the opacity up to 100 % (thus turning transparency off), ran some commands, and turned the opacity back to 75 %, which made the ghosting appear yet again.
I love working in the terminal, and really hope someone have a suggestion for a fix :)
Specs which might be relevant:
*
*OS X Yosemite 10.10.2
*Macbook Pro 8.1 (early 2011)
*Integrated graphics
*Using TotalTerminal 1.5.4
A: This one helped me:
Open your Terminal preferences, go to Profiles > Window > Background (Color & Effects), and set a light blur.
I use 30% to keep anything in the background from disturbing the readability of thin fonts on an already translucent window, so I never noticed the "burn-in" effect when moving to Yosemite.
Source: http://discuss.binaryage.com/t/text-burn-in-when-using-transparent-backgrounds-since-yosemite/2849
However I set blur to 1% and "ghost" text disappeared.

A: More recently in the thread linked to above, the developer of TotalTerminal replied:
darwin - Sep '15
TotalTerminal is not going to work on El Capitan without System Integrity
Protection disabled. That is why I stopped developing it and switched personally > to iTerm2. I'm sorry, but I won't fix this one.
http://discuss.binaryage.com/t/text-burn-in-when-using-transparent-backgrounds-since-yosemite/2849/11
So it looks like we're out of luck, at least for now. I've noticed the ghosting for a while, and right now I'm actually running TotalTerminal on El Capitan (with SIP disabled I guess), and would love to keep using it, but it sounds like I'll have to take it with this little wart or not at all.

Q: How to read ePubs on a first generation iPad My father has a 1st generation iPad. I can't seem to find a single eBook reader that is compatible. iBooks should have a compatible version, but it won't install it.
I have read about using iTunes to sync older versions, but his Mac mini is so old it won't even 'see' the iPad on iTunes.
Any ideas?

Q: How to turn off iTunes Store localisation? The iTunes Store has an annoying habit of localising song metadata based on the system language: for instance, if I have my system language set to English but buy from the Japanese iTunes store, the song name "以心伝心" will instead appear as "Ishindenshin" in the store and metadata of the downloaded file.
Logging out of the store, changing the system language to Japanese, and then logging back in corrects the issue, at least until the system language is changed back.
I tried setting iTunes to always open in Japanese as follows:
defaults write -app iTunes AppleLanguages -array ja
but while the rest of the app obeys this nicely, the store doesn't, and insists on continuing to localise content.
Anyone know if a similar setting exists to set the store language/localisation without changing the entire system language?

Q: How do I prevent my Mac from switching Wifi connections when at home? I have a MacBook Pro, running Mac 10.9.5. I connect wirelessly to the Internet through my home Cisco LinkSys E900 router, which sits just 10 feet away from my computer. However, frequently when I leave my computer inactive for a period of time and then return after waking it from hibernation, my Internet is connect to an xfiniti Wifi hotspot, without my having done anything. How do I configure my Mac so that it will ignore the xfiniti Wifi hot spot and remain connected to my home network?
A: Looks like the computer is set to prefer or prioritise the xfiniti Wifi hotspot over you home wifi, you can set your home Wifi to be of priority to any other Wifi connection and this is how to do that,
System Preferences/Network/ then select Wifi and click on Advanced, you'll see all preferred networks there.
Click and drag your home Wifi to the top.

Click and drag your home Wifi to the top.
A: There is actually more to this story than most of the answers here get into. I tried moving my office network to the top of the list, and my mac still always chose xfinity whenever there was one around.
At one point when trying to connect to xfinity on purpose, during the connection process it told me that it had to "upgrade xfinity connection" or something like that. It claimed it was in the name of security. What it did when I agreed to it was to install a "Profile." This created a new preference panel in System Preferences that was grouped along with Users & Groups and Startup Disk.
In this panel, there was only one option, Xfinity, and some text telling me yay how great it was. After removing this, my mac now honors the order of wifi networks in my Network Preferences.
A: You can change the order of connection to your preferred networks.
System Preferences -> Network -> WiFi
Then drag the Cisco Linksys E900 to the top of that list (making sure xfiniti is below it -- or remove it entirely).
A: Have home network first and xfinitywifi last. I'm guessing if the wifi signal is disrupted it will find xfinitywifi but won't go back when the home network signal returns.
A: I have had similar problems for a long time, where xfinity keeps edging out my wifi, which is six feet away from my computer. I do not want to remove xfinity because the removal process notified me that it would remove it from all my devices. But I do want it for my iPhone.
So this is a quandary.
A: I had the same problem. In advanced preferences, I removed xfinity completely (twice). The problem persisted. My answer is conjecture, but this would seem to be a job for Apple tech. support...as they can show you how to install and use adware medic. I believe this is xfinity marketing in action.

Q: Manually Sync iCloud Drive on OS X 10.10 Yosemite Is it possible to manually update the iCloud Drive folder on OS X?
Sometimes the folder does not update for ~10-20 minutes after establishing a good internet connection, so I'm hoping that there is a keyboard shortcut or menu action to refresh the iCloud Drive folder and download any documents made on another computer.
Google has so far proven itself useless. Thanks!

Q: All windows loses focus every 5 minutes While in Chrome or Sublime Text and mail for sure, my window will lose focus on 5 minute intervals. How do I determine culprit so that I can eliminate it? I've tried a reboot and closing applications that I think might be responsible and can't figure out what's actually causing the problem.
A: You can use the following Python script which can tell you which app is currently on focus:
#!/usr/bin/python
# Prints current window focus.
# See: https://apple.stackexchange.com/q/169277
from AppKit import NSWorkspace
import time
workspace = NSWorkspace.sharedWorkspace()
active_app = workspace.activeApplication()['NSApplicationName']
print('Active focus: ' + active_app)
while True:
time.sleep(1)
prev_app = active_app
active_app = workspace.activeApplication()['NSApplicationName']
if prev_app != active_app:
print('Focus changed to: ' + active_app)
It will print active application which has the focus and any change every second.
Related script: Identify which app or process is stealing focus on OSX at Gist
Usage:
*
*Save above script into get_active_focus.py file.
*Assign execution attributes by: chmod +x get_active_focus.py command.
*Run it as: ./get_active_focus.py.
Output:
$ ./get_active_focus.py
Active focus: Terminal
Focus changed to: Google Chrome
Once you found the affected application, consider uninstalling or killing it (if possible).

From the CLI:
/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/MacOS/Xcode
If something is wrong it will give you way more useful output.

A: Do you have the latest version of Xcode installed? Error -106xx is in the range reserved for LaunchServices errors (although this particular error isn't listed in LSInfo.h). It may be telling you your copy of Xcode is too old to run under Yosemite. (The current version for Yosemite is 6.1.1.)

Q: Set launchd log level How can I set the log level of launchd in MacOS Yosemite?
I've tried launchctl log level debug but it doesn't work.
A: Since Apple publishes the source code for launchd, you might have better luck just attaching a debugger to the process to inspect or set breakpoints.
That and changing the log level might also be overkill. You can inspect the loaded jobs quite easily and disable them / change them to call debugging scripts or even set another job to dump status or log messages when another process starts or stops.
I'd be interested in more specifics of what you are doing - this seems like a great example of an XY problem. You're asking about the solution you see as the best way forward and not about what the actual problem / issue is.

Q: Bluetooth Serial Port Profile (SPP) support in OS X Yosemite I've got a device that connects to a computer using Bluetooth's SPP (Serial Port Profile) which is widely supported by almost everything however is now considered legacy.

My adapter was discoverable, failed auto-pairing, but I was able to pair with the pin code provided in the online documentation. The system automatically created a serial port:

Q: Can I still use my own apple ID with its asociated credit card when I'm in a family sharing family? I'm thinking of setting up family sharing for our family. We're all adults, so we buy apps for ourselves, but it would be nice if we could share the apps. Will I lose the ability to buy apps with my own Apple ID if I join my family?
A: No. Any apps you buy with your Apple ID will still belong to you. If you leave Family Sharing other family members will lose access to the apps (Mac OS & iOS), movies, TV shows and music that you own.
Any family member's purchase will be charged to the credit card of the Family Organizer. Gift cards can be used by a family member and they will be charged before the family organizer's credit card. Family Sharing will bill the family organizer's credit card even if other family members have a different credit card on file.
Here is a link to Apple's own support document on this.

This is credited only to the individual family member's account. I usually buy mine at the grocery store, but you can buy them online as well. A little bulky but it works.
A: Family sharing is required if you wish to share Apple Music using the family plan. It is a great idea but all purchases of members go onto your card unless they purchase their own iTunes cards and load them on their own account. Family sharing prefers the creators card over the individual card. $14.99 to allow all members access to Apple Music is a great deal over the $10.99/mo plan for each one to have an individual plan. The downside is that if you are the organizer, you are likely going to spend more money for them to save since all of their purchases go onto your card. I am hoping Apple will provide additional options in the future so you can use the Apple Music Family plan only and individuals cover their own separate purchases.

Q: Using VMware Fusion on Yosemite, how can I prevent crashes with sleep wake failure? I am using VMware Fusion 7.1.0 on Mac OS 10.10.1 Yosemite. Every evening, I send my iMac to sleep. The next morning the mac usually sits in login mask - so it has rebooted. After login, I get "sleep wake failure".
How can I mitigate this? Are there any known workarounds?
I had this problem before with Mac OS 10.9 and VMware Fusion 6 but found no workaround. It seems, that with one of the updates of 10.9 the problem went away or was way more seldom.
A: After talking to VMware support, there are two possible solutions to this problem:
*
*Open your Mac's system preferences, go to Energy Saver and disable the option "Put hard disks to sleep when possible". With that option deactivated, I had no sleep wake failures.
*Pause or suspend your virtual machines prior to sending your Mac to sleep.

Q: How do I stop my Mac from ringing when I get a phone call on my iPhone? Yosemite has a new feature where my Mac rings when I get a phone call. Annoyingly, it continues to ring for 30 seconds or so, even after I've answered the iPhone.
How can I turn this sound off? I'd like to continue to have this feature available on my Mac: I'd like to be able to start calls from my Mac and I'd like to see the little alert that says "Accept / Decline" when the calls come in, but I want to turn off the ring sound on the Mac so I can answer my iPhone without having the other person hear endless ringing in the background.
A: Launch /Applications/FaceTime.app
Click on FaceTime > Preferences
Uncheck "iPhone Cellular Calls"

A: Launch /Applications/FaceTime.app
Click on FaceTime > Preferences
Uncheck "iPhone Cellular Calls"
A: Easy Peasy.
System Preferences > Notifications > FaceTime > uncheck 'Play sound for notifications'
Alternatively, you could just turn on 'Do Not Disturb' from the Today/Notifications widget easily when you need it by clicking on the notifications button in the menu bar and scrolling up the 'Do Not Disturb' setting will scroll into view
A: Your Mac / PC will also ring if you have hangouts open in GMail. You can go into Settings and turn off "Ring on incoming phone calls".
You can get there by selecting the hangouts icon
and then clicking the disclosure icon next to your username (it's the triangle next to your username).
This will open up settings where you can turn off the notification.

Q: Mobile Safari opens tab with window.scrollY set to large negative number, only Smart Banner visible I'm trying to figure out a very vexing bug (which might well be a mobile Safari issue) where opening a URL from an app is causing the page to load with a large negative scroll value and only the Smart Banner appearing.
In the example below, window.scrollY = -324. This is on iOS 8.1.2, both iPad and iPhones.
The page does not have any scrolling-related javascript executed on page load. Everything appears as expected in the DOM, but when Smart Banner is enabled, this scroll issue happens somewhat sporadically. (It appears to happen most consistently
The issue resolves itself after any touch or rotate event, suggesting the browser knows that window.scrollY should be 0.
Has anyone dealt with a similar issue?
A: This appears to be a bug in mobile Safari. I was able to replicate this bug using a demo iOS app. Full details are here: https://github.com/than/Mobile-Safari-Smart-Banner-Viewport-Bug

Q: No package 'libffi' found in Homebrew Virtual Environment I'm using a homebrew installation of python and getting an error using pip within a virtualenvwrapper environment:
No package 'libffi' found
Package libffi was not found in the pkg-config search path.
Perhaps you should add the directory containing `libffi.pc'
to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable
Homebrew has a formula for libffi (brew install libffi), which seemed to be successful.
I can run
$ python-config --include
which yields:
-I/usr/local/Cellar/python/2.7.9/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/include/python2.7 -I/usr/local/Cellar/python/2.7.9/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/include/python2.7
So should I "add the directory containing `libffi.pc'"?
echo $PKG_CONFIG_PATH yields an empty string.
[Someone on SO had recommended][3]:
Use -I /opt/local/include on the command line
or
C_INCLUDE_PATH=/opt/local/include in the environment.
Would I add the line:
C_INCLUDE_PATH=/usr/local/Cellar/python/2.7.9/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/include/python2.7
to the ~/.bash_profile?
or possibly export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/local/Cellar/python/2.7.9/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/include/python2.7
A: FWIW, I had to actually use export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/local/Cellar/libffi/3.0.13/lib/pkgconfig/ to get this to work. Same command, but just the directory instead of the libffi.pc file itself.

A: Figured it out.
brew install libffi
locate libffi.pc
(in this case i also had to run the command to build the locate database, for which the code was included in the prompt from locate)
returned /usr/local/Cellar/libffi/3.0.13/lib/pkgconfig/libffi.pc
Then within the virtualenv ran export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/local/Cellar/libffi/3.0.13/lib/pkgconfig/ (the path to libffi.pc).
Confirmed with echo $PKG_CONFIG_PATH, which showed the path.
And pip "Successfully installed" the modules!
In case it's useful, this is how I got the virtualenvwrapper environment working:
I have added the following contents to the ~/.bash_profile as well as ~/.bashrc files:
export VIRTUALENVWRAPPER_PYTHON=/usr/local/bin/python
export VIRTUALENVWRAPPER_VIRTUALENV=/usr/local/bin/virtualenv
export WORKON_HOME=$HOME/.virtualenvs
source /usr/local/bin/virtualenvwrapper.sh
export PATH=/usr/local/bin:$PATH
As per this tutorial.
A: On my case I got the next error message when running npm i :
node-gyp rebuild
Package libffi was not found in the pkg-config search path.
Perhaps you should add the directory containing `libffi.pc'
to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable
Package 'libffi', required by 'gobject-2.0', not found
gyp: Call to 'pkg-config --cflags cairo poppler-qt5' returned exit status 1 while in binding.gyp. while trying to load binding.gyp
I figured out the problem was on exporting the PATH
So I ran brew reinstall -s poppler
At the end of the installation you can run the export of the paths
If you need to have qt first in your PATH run:
echo 'export PATH="/usr/local/opt/qt/bin:$PATH"' >> ~/.zshrc
For compilers to find qt you may need to set:
export LDFLAGS="-L/usr/local/opt/qt/lib"
export CPPFLAGS="-I/usr/local/opt/qt/include"
For pkg-config to find qt you may need to set:
export PKG_CONFIG_PATH="/usr/local/opt/qt/lib/pkgconfig"
This fixed it for me.
I hope you find it helpfull.

Q: File's image well displays PNG icon not actual PNG I would like to replace the standard icon for an Automator application that I created with a PNG. Unfortunately, the resulting icon is the generic PNG icon, not the actual PNG image.
Steps:
*
*downloaded the desired image (512 x 512)
*verified that the image had a transparent background
*Opened the file's inspector window (⌘+I):
*
*Dragged the PNG to the image well:
The final result:
Is there a way to get the actual icon to be used?
A: Copy paste the .png image onto the icon shown in the Inspector.
*
*Open the .png with Preview
*Select all with CMD+A
*Copy with CMD+C
*Select the application of which you want to change the icon.
*Press CMD+I to open the Inspector
*Click on the icon and paste the copied image using CMD+V
I have no clue why that works differently compared to dragging and dropping the image.

A: Also, the above worked for me, but only after I was still having some puzzling difficulties, so if that's you, on your desktop (make sure you are clicked on your desktop) go up to the top, to Finder - View - Show View Options
... and use the little slider to adjust the size of your icons, slide it back and forth, even back to where it started and I found for me that for some strange reason my icon just popped up. (I was trying to get a new transparent icon the image for a Hard Drive and all I was getting was a standard PNG graphic but when I used the slider, it changed to my new icon. Go figure.)

Q: Screen saver settings keep defaulting back to National Geographic Photos I like to use my photo library for a screen saver (have 10,000 photos - it's nice to get to see them more often), but ever since I've downloaded Yosemite, every time the computer goes to sleep, it defaults back to the National Geographic photos (there are maybe 30 of them). Really, really frustrating, and I can't find where to change the default settings to try and make an adjustment. Anyone know how to change that default setting or have any other idea what to do?
A: After trying the other "fixes" and nothing worked, I went with what was previously suggested here. Located the Nat Geo folder (HD>Library>Screen Saver>Default Collections>1-National Geographic) and removed those pictures. This does require your Administrator Password. Then I moved the pictures I wanted into that folder. This works, but it is not a fix as the Screen Saver still defaults to that folder.

Then I moved the pictures I wanted into that folder. This works, but it is not a fix as the Screen Saver still defaults to that folder.
A: @Charley3's answer did not work for me, as I constantly update the photos I want in my screen saver. I took it one step further by setting up the mac to copy the photos from my folder to the default national geographic folder once a day on weekdays:
*
*Open Terminal application
*Type sudo crontab -e
*Type your password
*Type i and then paste the following: (03 7 is 7:03am, change to desired update time. 1-5 is Monday-Friday, change to desired days)
03 7 * * 1-5 cp -a <path to screensaver photos desired>/* /Library/Screen\ Savers/Default\ Collections/1-National\ Geographic/
*Type [esc] :wq and hit [Enter]
*Type sudo crontab -l and verify the information pasted in is correct
Now I can have the photo folder that I change the contents of daily still be set as my default screensaver folder.
Edit: In addition, I selected the 'shuffle slide order' checkbox in screen saver settings but that too shifts back to the defaults. In order to check this box regularly, I used this question and added an additional line to the crontab:
03 7 * * 1-5 /usr/bin/defaults -currentHost write com.apple.ScreenSaverPhotoChooser 'ShufflesPhotos' -bool "true"
A: I had this same problem. For me it was caused by a configuration profile that was overriding my screensaver preferences. (I had installed the profile while going through Apples OS X Support Essentials book)
Here are Apples instructions :
Remove a configuration profile from your Mac
*
*Choose Apple menu > System Preferences, then click Profiles. If you
haven’t installed any configuration profiles, the Profiles pane of
System Preferences isn’t available.
*Select a profile in the Profiles list, then click Delete (-).
A: It's very frustrating that apple has done nothing about this bug. If you search the forums, a lot of folks have this issue.
If you look at the apple forums there are a couple of workarounds but no fixes.
Two things work for most folks:
*
*Find the national geographic folder, delete the pictures there and move your screen saver pictures to that folder
or
*
*Leave the screen saver preferences always running (never close the window)
Some of the other solutions offered have mixed results:
*
*Deleting the national geo picture folder (works for some, others get a "no pictures message")
*Deleting system "plist" files (works for some, others claim the problem - returns after a while).
*Disconnect your system from the internet (Not sure why but some folks claim when not connected to the internet the screen saver does not revert back).
A: This is not a fix, but a work-around. Goto preferences and in screensaver select your personal photo folder you want to use, in the upper lefthand corner select the yellow (minimizer button) the screen will zoom down to the dock thereby locking your selection open on the dock. Not a fix, but at least you can see your own photos.
This is the only thing I've found that works—picked up from a post somewhere else.

Q: How do I hide the "open window icons" in the dock in OSX 10.10? I recently got my very first MacBook Pro. It has OSX 10.10 Yosemite on it.
After some time, though, I noticed that there are many icons accumulating in my dock that just represent open windows. Note that I do not mean the application icons themselves (see screenshot for clarification).
How can I disable these "open window" icons so that only application icons show up?
Bothersome icons:
A: I actually found an answer to this question now.
Apparently, there is an option "Minimize windows into application icon" in System Preferences > Dock that will accomplish what I want.
The option mentioned:
| Q: How do I hide the "open window icons" in the dock in OSX 10.10? I recently got my very first MacBook Pro. It has OSX 10.10 Yosemite on it.
After some time, though, I noticed that there are many icons accumulating in my dock that just represent open windows. Note that I do not mean the application icons themselves (see screenshot for clarification).
How can I disable these "open window" icons so that only application icons show up?

Q: Using Console.app - how to find disk force eject logs? I've been having a number of issues with external disks force unmounting (most often while waking from sleep).
Where can I look in Console.app to track down the potential issue?
A: Choose All messages on the sidebar.
Filter by mount (or unmount)
and that is it
for example on my OS X 10.10.2 Mac mini

A: I have found a way in Catalina, hope that helps also for the other MacOS versions.
*
*In Catalina, you first need to export the log to your home directory by typing the following command in your terminal:
sudo log collect --last 1d
You can adjust the "--last" part and narrow down the dates.
*Open the exported "system_logs.logarchive" in your home directory by double clicking it. And type "media is not present" in the search bar. You will see that for each "not properly eject" event, multiple entries were written in nearly the same time (I have twice force removed my usb for the sake of science). You can then inspect those event closely or search the log for further information.

Q: List hung processes in Terminal? Is there any way to list only those processes which are hung, i.e., "not responding", in Terminal?
The only way I know to do this is look in Activity Monitor for the ones in red.
A: You can use the following command:
ps aux | grep -w Z
From ps man page:
The state is given by a sequence of characters, for example, ``RWNA''.
The first character indicates the run state of the process:
I Marks a process that is idle (sleeping for longer than about 20 seconds).
R Marks a runnable process.
S Marks a process that is sleeping for less than about 20 seconds.
T Marks a stopped process.
U Marks a process in uninterruptible wait.
Z Marks a dead process (a ``zombie'').

A: IP traffic does not necessarily follow the same path. Leaving your system, each router will choose the path that it sees fit for each packet, and this path may change depending on availability/congestion. It won't care how they got there.
So in the case of traceroute that is sending ICMP packets they don't always necessarily follow the same path too, ICMP runs on top of IP.

Q: I can't find the location of jdk for Java 7 and 8 I have 3 different versions (jdk) of Java installed: 6, 7 and 8. In
bash_profile:

setjdk() {
export JAVA_HOME=$(/usr/libexec/java_home -v $1)
}
However, at
$ ls /System/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines
1.6.0.jdk
I see only one version. Where are the 2 other ones? What's the location of their jdks?
A: In contrary to the Apple provided Java6 which will be installed to /System/Library/Java and /System/Library/Frameworks, Oracle's Java7 and Java8 are located at /Library/Java/ in several subfolders.

A: You can see the install locations of the recognized JDKs by using java_home's "-V" option:
$ /usr/libexec/java_home -V
Matching Java Virtual Machines (4):
1.8.0_31, x86_64: "Java SE 8" /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.8.0_31.jdk/Contents/Home
1.7.0_55, x86_64: "Java SE 7" /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.7.0_55.jdk/Contents/Home
1.6.0_65-b14-466.1, x86_64: "Java SE 6" /System/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/1.6.0.jdk/Contents/Home
1.6.0_65-b14-466.1, i386: "Java SE 6" /System/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/1.6.0.jdk/Contents/Home
You see newer JDKs are under /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines. I think it was moved out of "System" after Apple stopped developing the OSK JDK themselves and Oracle took over.
Also see /usr/libexec/java_home --help for more options.

Q: How to enter a non-breaking space on iOS? On a Mac, entering a non-breaking space is very easy. On my iPad with iOS 7 installed, I want to enter a non-breaking space. But I find no way.
I have tried the mic on the keyboard. It gives me this :
Espace insécable
:-)
I would prefer a solution coming from the keyboard. I would also like a palette offering characters or snippets.
A: Find one in a web page (even a page you create yourself, inserting ) and then copy it to the clipboard. Paste it in when needed.

A: Find one in a web page (even a page you create yourself, inserting ) and then copy it to the clipboard. Paste it in when needed.
A: In my jailbroken iPhone4 with iOS 7.1.2 I have installed Persian Keyboard iOS5+ from the BigBoss repository in Cydia. For my native language Farsi, this keyboard has non-breaking space near the Space button.
In the image below I have typed the translation of the non-breaking space in Farsi نیمفاصله which the correct form is the last line with non-breaking space between نیم and فاصله. The middle line has normal space and the first line has no space.
If your device is jailbroken maybe there are alternatives for the keyboard in the Cydia repository for your preferred language.
A: This is a bit convoluted, so hopefully someone comes up with [a lot] better. On your Mac, create a note with a non breaking space (option+spacebar on Mac) in a known position. Now open that note, select that non breaking space (I found that tricky), & copy it. Go to Settings > General > Keyboards > Text Replacement. Tap the + at the top right, paste the non breaking space as the Phrase, & something as the Shortcut (I used nbsp). When you use it you need to type a space before typing your shortcut, & iOS will insert a space after you select the phrase. That's a regular space either side of your non breaking space that you need to delete.
A: For a palette with all Unicode characters, try Unicode Pad.
A: I was able to setup a keyboard replacement text mapping “&nbxp;” to a non-breaking space, which I copypasted from a Numbers spreadsheet originally created under MacOSX. Note I had to substitute “nbxp” for “nbsp” because stackexchange seems to interpret the HTML code! Probably a bug.
Here it is if you need it “ “.
[addendum: OMG I copypasted the character between the “ quotes above back into my Numbers test rig, and for all the world it looks like the nonbreaking space made it through! So if you’re trying to setup this trick on your iPad try pasting the thing between the double quotes into the replacement text field in the Settings->General->Keyboard->Text Replacement->+->Phrase field.]
A: If you hold the zero on you iOS keyboard you should see the little superscript circle (degree symbol)

*F1 - switch to desktop, it holds Skype, Finder, etc (already done)
*F2 - switch to Chrome (full screen)
*F3 - switch to iTerm (full screen)
*and so on

Q: Family sharing, some clarifications needed Recently we've set up family sharing. Now my SO has done an in-app purchase. So far no issue. But when I told her she was a little upset that there was no way to make the payment herself. Because obviously I got to see the purchase.
So, how can she pay for her own purchases, whenever she desires?
This article suggests it is not possible, except when using iTunes store credit or vouchers.
And will the receipts for purchases based on her iTunes store credit or vouchers also end up in my mailbox?
After all in many families there isn't just a single parent and then kids (in this context apparently handled as subordinates). It seems like this would be based on a view on the woman as stay-home mom with the husband paying for everything?!
A: She can purchase iTunes gift cards then redeem them in your account. Yes, you will still see the transaction but it won't be charged to your credit card.

Q: Any way to have CPU temperature in the menu bar? I tried SMC fan control and Temperature Monitor but it does not update the temperature and I do not wish to change the fan speed.
A: I know that this is an old question, but by the end of 2020 there is a really nice open source utility — iGlance. Just tried it and it seems to work really fine. There are some minor issues with appearance under some circumstances, but otherwise it is very solid.

A: Temperature Monitor was last updated in 2009. So maybe it is not compatible with your OS.
I recently abandoned the fantastic MenuMeters (free) for iStat Menus 5, since the later provides even more info on practically all Mac sensors. Hardware Monitor and System Monitor are also capable of showing sensor information in the menu bar.
A: iStatMenu will give you what you need. And a whole lot more besides - all in a nice tightly integrated package that sits in your menu bar.
A: It is best achieved by installing CleanMyMac X and have it in the menu bar. It will update you with CPU temp., Memory, battery too

Q: Can't update apps in iOS App Store; can only Open On my iPhone, the App Store has a badge saying "2". When I open the App Store and go to the Updates page, there are two apps at the top, which for a split-second say "Update" and then immediately change to "Open". But the "2" badge remains. The apps are in the "Pending updates" section.
So I can't even update these apps if I wanted to, because either they have already updated or they are preventing me from updating.
I already tried hard resetting my device but no luck. I'd rather not take the extreme route of restoring my device if possible. Anyone know of any other solutions?
A: I had same problem and fixed it by closing the app down then reopening it, selecting the updates tab, then quickly press on 'update all' before the app updates revert back to 'open'.. You only have a split second to do this but it did work

A: Force quit the App Store (open the App Store, then hold power until the slide to power off slider appears, then hold home until the app quits), then reopen it and go to the Updates tab. Let it refresh the list and the problem should be resolved.
A: Which iOS are you using? There is an issue where it won't update but opens when you press "update" if you're not on the iOS 8.x versions. The only way to update is click on the app and it'll take you to the details of the app, then you can update.

Q: Updating to OS X 10.10.2 broke Quick Look previews for HTML files After updating to OS X 10.10.2, I can no longer use Quick Look on HTML files – I just get a blank preview window, and the issue persists through a reboot. But all other files types work fine.

Q: What is analogous to the Windows registry in Mac OS X? I am new to Mac and was wondering where application/OS settings are saved.
A: For typical macOS applications the place for this kind of information is one of
*
*/System/Library (for OS specific stuff)
*/Library (for system-wide preferences/settings valid for all users)
*~/Library (for user-specific preferences/settings)
and the folders beneath them (e.g. Application Support and Preferences).
They are saved as individual files, usually named so you can identify them and with a structure which is (at least most of the time) understandable by mere humans. Most of these files are Property List files ending in .plist which can be pretty-printed into a human-readable form by running plutil -p NAME-OF-FILE.plist in Terminal.
For applications and binaries coming from the Unix world you‘ll also find the typical dot files and directories in the home directory of all users using them, e.g. .bashrc or .ssh/. The names and purpose of these files is usually listed in the corresponding man page.
| Q: What is analogous to the Windows registry in Mac OS X? I am new to Mac and was wondering where application/OS settings are saved.
A: For typical macOS applications the place for this kind of information is one of
*
*/System/Library (for OS specific stuff)
*/Library (for system-wide preferences/settings valid for all users)
*~/Library (for user-specific preferences/settings)
and the folders beneath them (e.g. Application Support and Preferences).

Q: How to completely remove Nix package manager? I installed Nix package manager, and now I would like to remove it completely.
How can I do it?
A: I asked myself the same question and searched the file system for Nix-related files. That's what I found:
# as user, remove:
rm -r ~/.nix-channels ~/.nix-defexpr ~/.nix-profile
# as root (sudo), remove:
sudo rm -r /nix
# edit the file ~/.profile and remove the line containing "added by Nix installer"
Not sure if I missed some files or directories. Also, I did not remove it myself, so be careful (and backup your data!) when removing stuff with sudo.

Q: Linking between tables in Numbers I have a table in numbers, and I want a cell to equal the value of a cell in a different table. Following the advice of this Apple discussion, I tried
=Units Sold::B2
, with Units Sold being the table with the value I wanted, and B2 being the value I wanted in the table "Units Sold".
To clarify, I want D2 of "Juice and Beverages" to equal the value of B2 of "Units Sold".
What am I doing wrong? Numbers for iCloud gives the error
The formula contains an invalid reference.
Thanks!
A: Cross-table referencing is not currently possible in Numbers in iCloud.com.
In OS X, if typing doesn't work, simply press = then click the cell that you want to reference.

Select the cell you want the result in: i.e D2 of "Juice and Beverages"
And then in the text field at the top of the page enter:
=SUM('Units Sold' :: B2)
Take note of difference in how I have written it and how you did. Which was you main problem.
When done, click the green tick button on the right. And you will see this as the end result.
You can see some documentation on some of the included Functions by clicking into a cell and then into the:

Q: Why is the process named geod in my iOS simulator trying to access irs.gov? I'm developing an app that has absolutely nothing to do with anything other than specific external audio-related hardware. While running my app in the iOS simulator, I got a message from my LittleSnitch (that's a firewall) that the process geod (iOS) is trying to access irs.gov. As if that wasn't enough, the next attempt was to azadiradio.org. I blocked both but I'm wondering: what is going on within my iOS simulator?
A: This sounds like a classic case of bad reverse DNS. Note that both the IRS and azadiradio.org are at least partially hosted by Akamai's servers. This can lead to some confusion for people trying to do a reverse DNS. Your simulator might be trying to access some other server (could be Apple's, they also use Akamai) and Little Snitch tries to translate that IP address into a domain. When that IP is used by one of the world's largest hosting and content distribution networks, you run into problems.

Q: Mechanism to sync mail accounts between Mac and iPhone Is there a way for me to create an account using my Mac's Mail app and have the account sync over to my iPhone or vice versa? I have iCloud setup on both my Mac and iPhone, but I don't see the accounts added on one device syncing over to the other.
A: This was possible in Mountain Lion and before, through iTunes. Unfortunately Apple has deprecated its Syncserver service, and so now you have to set up each account separately on each device. Frustrating, I agree.

A: This was possible in Mountain Lion and before, through iTunes. Unfortunately Apple has deprecated its Syncserver service, and so now you have to set up each account separately on each device. Frustrating, I agree.
A: No.
(if what you want is a way to configure an account once on a device and have the configuration automagically transferred to other devices.)
A: It is possible to synchronize email accounts between Macs. This is what the iCloud Keychain is for. Activating it will sync over all of your accounts (those listed in the Mac Accounts settings). One problem is that it is an all or none setting.
However this doesn't help synchronize email accounts between Mac and iOS.
A: It's not possible. However, the Apple Configurator app helps creating a .mobileconfig file that makes account creation much easier (basically you enter all the settings on your Mac then import them onto the iOS devices).
A: You can use IMAP/POP3
On Mac you can add IMAP/POP3 account from System Preferences > Internet Accounts
*
*Open Internet Accounts
*Click plus icon on left bottom corner
*If it's iCloud mail, Gmail or Microsoft Exchange account click the option respectively, otherwise select "Add Other Account..." from the bottom of the list
*Follow trough the guided account setup, and in the end of setting it up (if it asks) check the Email syncing option.
*You can get the mail server info from your email provider, but most of them use mail.provider.tld (eg. mail.google.com / mail.ipage.com) domain for the mail server
On iDevice (iPhone in this case) open Settings > Contacts, Calendar & Email > Add new account and follow the instructions inserting the same credentials as you gave when adding account to Mac. This way the mail application will fetch the email from the server on both devices, and sync it.Hope this helps!

Q: Difference between "Get Xcode" and "Install" I've just upgraded to Yosemite, and I'm getting the following dialog box:
The "cc" command requires the command line developer tools. Would you
like to install the tools now?
Choose Install to continue. Choose Get Xcode to install Xcode and the command line developer tools from the App Store.
Get XcodeNot nowInstall
What is the difference between the two? In particular, does "Install" have a smaller download size than the "Get Xcode" option?
A: Get Xcode installs both the IDE and command line developer tools.
According to apple this is the contents of that package:
This package enables UNIX-style development via Terminal by installing command line developer tools, as well as Mac OS X SDK frameworks and headers. Many useful tools are included, such as the Apple LLVM compiler, linker, and Make. If you use Xcode, these tools are also embedded within the Xcode IDE.

Q: Apps on iPhone lockscreen: how to remove them, i.e. Starbucks Hopefully a simple solution. I installed a recent Starbucks app, and noted it was tracking my location and popping up on the lock screen. I do not want that. At all. Even after setting not to show on lock screen, it shows. I finally just removed it, but wondered as to how to get it to stop? I even turned off location tracking and yet it continued.
I wonder if having the older version still on my phone might have caused this?
A: It may be because you added as a passbook pass. If it only shows up when you are near the store, that's the reason. Go to the Starbucks app, click Stores at the top, click the store you are at, and hit the X near the passbook option.
(You can also delete the pass directly in Passbook.)

A: This sounds like the iOS suggested apps (they can appear as an icon on the bottom left of the lock screen). You can turn the suggestions off in the Settings app under General -> Handoff and Suggested Apps
A: Go to the passbook/wallet, click the app, then the little i for information, uncheck show on lock screen.
A: Settings....starbucks...notifications....
Toggle : Show on Lock Screen
A: Don't uncheck "show on lock screen". That will make it disappear from the wallet on lock screen. Go to Starbucks app - Store - click on the store that shows on your lock screen - unfavorite it. Now you can still use your Starbucks card if you double click the home screen for Apple Pay, but you won't get an annoying notification when your near the store.

Q: Disable Confirmation Dialogs in Finder for iCloud Drive Is it possible to disable the confirmation dialog when moving/removing/deleting a file from iCloud Drive? The constant barrage of dialogs is incredibly irritating - I understand that removing the file from iCloud Drive will result in the file being removed from all of my iCloud Devices.
There is no Finder preference that I could find, and a Google search has not yielded anything.
A: It has not been implemented yet (as of version 10.11.2), so no. I submitted a feedback request, but the more people request it, the more likely it will be added in further versions of OS X. To request it, go to : http://www.apple.com/feedback/macosx.html

Q: iTerm2: Split pane - coloured title bar instead of dimming In iTerm2 it is possible, to split panes. Thus, I have parallel multiple terminals instead (or in addition) to tabs.
This is very similar to the i3 Window Manager or Terminator Terminal Emulator.
When having multiple terminals, I would like to quickly know what is the active terminal. iTerm2 has an option to dim, but this is not so great because inactive terminals are not that good to read (e.g. htop).
It seems there is no option of using coloured title bars (not tabs!) based on active pane/terminal. Only programms can do so via escape codes). Does anybody know a hack for this or is up to me to request an enhancement? Maybe I overlooked it...
Thanks,
Timo

Q: Cannot seem to add internal testers with existing iTunes Connect accounts I am trying to add internal beta testers to my app. The app is still in development, so I do not wish to submit the app for review for external testers. It seems the only way I can add an internal tester is if I add them as a new iTunes Connect User. When I try to though, I cannot because the Apple ID (email) of the person I want to invite already has an iTunes Connect account. Is there any way I can add people who already have Connect accounts as internal testers?
A: You can use a "+" sign to add the same email to your desired iTunes Connect Account.
If the email is [email protected], you can add it like this: [email protected]
The system ignores the "+" sign and any character after that, it works like a charm but you have to use the altered email for the login.

The system ignores the "+" sign and any character after that, it works like a charm but you have to use the altered email for the login.
A: After emailing Apple Support about this, I received an email saying this:
If a person's Apple ID is already associated with another iTunes
Connect organization, the user needs to provide a distinct email
address that can be associated with the new organization; iTunes
Connect creates an additional Apple ID for the user.
I think it seems odd that Apple would require someone with an existing IC account to create another one just to be an admin on another user's organization, but this did work for me.
I used another one of my emails and created a new Apple ID when adding myself as another admin into the group. When I finally received a beta tester invite through that email, I was also able to install and use the app through my previous Apple ID.
A: I have faced the same problem like Leo. I had to add another email id of for same user and then add it to Internal Testers/External Testers list which worked well for me.
But, it feels strange that why an already iTunes user be restricted to be part of another org as well, provided he contribute well to app quality!

Q: I am getting an error 'pack with invalid duration' using ffmpeg with concat on Yosemite I am executing:
ffmpeg -i concat:"intro.mp4|movie.mp4" -codec copy output.mp4
and am getting error:
[mp4 @ 0x7fc5f984ae00] Packet with invalid duration -1975 in stream 1
I can't seem to figure out what the problem is. The files are both H.264 AAC.
Can someone explain what causes this error?
A: Make sure the video files are at the same resolution, framerate and timebase. First check what they are now, and if they differ, choose what clip you want to use to base the settings on. You can then convert the others with something like the following command (example with a resolution of 1280x720, 24 fps, a video timebase of 90k, and audio timebase of 48000).
ffmpeg -i original.mp4 -vf scale=w=1280:h=720:force_original_aspect_ratio=decrease,pad=1280:720:(ow-iw)/2:(oh-ih)/2 -c:v libx264 -c:a aac -strict experimental -video_track_timescale 90k -r 24 -ar 48000 converted.mp4

Q: How to have new email notification while Apple Mail.app is closed? In OS X when Calendar.app is closed I get notifications about events; how can I have this work in Mail.app? While Mail is closed I want to get new email notifications.
A: You cannot.
You need the Mail app running. Unlike Calendar events, checking for emails is not something that can run locally. A client application needs to connect with your mail server and retrieve your e-mails.
Sure there could be some background processes that does that without the need of the Mail app, but it would not make much sense; in the end you would still have a process doing the checking.
Something that may make the Mail app less intrusive to you desktops' organization etc is having it been launched automatically and hidden at startup.

Q: Access Keychain Access password generator (password assistant) via Terminal without the user interface Is it possible to access, the "password assistant" also known as the password generator located inside the Keychain Access via terminal or otherwise?
Steps to access in UI:
*
*Launch Keychain Access
*New password item
*Select padlock item (generate password)
*Create random password according to security level
A: Your exact question has been asked on Stackoverflow in 2009. The answers did not provide a way to access the Keychain password generator, but did suggest some alternatives.
A Google search for mac terminal password generator also shows several ways to generate a password from Terminal. I have listed a couple below.
openssl rand -base64 6
You can change -base64 to -hex to limit the use of special characters. The 6 indicates the lenght of the password.
env LC_CTYPE=C tr -dc "a-zA-Z0-9-_\$\?" < /dev/urandom | head -c 10
The "a-zA-Z0-9-_\$\?" part indicates allowed characters and the 10 defines the length.

*Launch Keychain Access
*New password item
*Select padlock item (generate password)
*Create random password according to security level
A: Your exact question has been asked on Stackoverflow in 2009. The answers did not provide a way to access the Keychain password generator, but did suggest some alternatives.
A Google search for mac terminal password generator also shows several ways to generate a password from Terminal. I have listed a couple below.
openssl rand -base64 6
You can change -base64 to -hex to limit the use of special characters. The 6 indicates the lenght of the password.
env LC_CTYPE=C tr -dc "a-zA-Z0-9-_\$\?" < /dev/urandom | head -c 10
The "a-zA-Z0-9-_\$\?" part indicates allowed characters and the 10 defines the length.

Q: OSX Yosemite - Mission Control stopped working Not sure how long this has been happening, but I just noticed it AFTER Yosemite update.
Mission control just does not work: using hot corners, keyboard shortcut, or even double clicking Mission Control.app, there is no way to make my Mac go to Mission Control/Exposé. By the way, I have hot corners for showing desktop and app windows exposé, neither of which work. Hot corners for dashboard and Notification center work as usual.
Any ideas why does it happen, how could I solve it?
Thanks a lot.
A: I had this issue as well when I updated to OS X El Capitan (Version 10.11.4). Found out my dashboard got switched to "Off." What worked for me is to:
*
*go to System preferences
*open Mission control
*make sure "Dashboard:" dropdown is set to "As Overlay".

*
*go to System preferences
*open Mission control
*make sure "Dashboard:" dropdown is set to "As Overlay".
A: The GUI way:
*
*Open Activity Monitor.
*In the search field, type in 'Dock'.
*Select Dock in the results.
*Click on the black X directly above on the left.
*When asked if you are sure you want to quit the process, choose Quit.
The Dock process will quit and restart. All your gestures/shortcuts will now work again.
A: I found that the file responsible ist com.apple.dock.plist which sits in ~/Library/Preferences. In this file exists an entry to enable/disable mission control.
For me this procedure helped to get mission control working again:
*
*Start terminal and execute the following commands:
*defaults write com.apple.dock mcx-expose-disabled -bool FALSE
(this enables mission control)
*killall Dock
(kill and automatically restart the Dock, this is necessary to get it done)
A: (This irritating bug seems to be biting me more often after updating to 10.10.4)
When this happens and I don't want to have to reboot, I only restart the "Dock" process and the problem is gone. There's probably some GUI way to do it, but I just drop into Terminal and do:
killall Dock
But before that, run killall -s Dock to see what would be killed, to make sure it's only going to directly kill the one "Dock" process.
Once you run killall Dock, Dock will restart in a few seconds and then Mission Control is working again. You can verify that the restart happened by checking the Process ID of "Dock" after the restart.
A: I just had a similar problem (also under Yosemite) - mission control was still accessible with function keys but not with gestures. It came back with a reboot.
A: I have 10.12.5 beta and my Mission Control stopped working as well.
I used this process and it helped to get mission control working again:
Start Terminal and execute the following commands:
defaults write com.apple.dock mcx-expose-disabled -bool FALSE
(this enables mission control)
killall Dock
(kill and automatically restart the Dock, this is necessary to get it done)
It didn't seem to work BUT when I activated a hot corner, it all came back. I can swipe up w/ the track pad now and use expose. I deactivated the hot corner short cut and it still works.
A: There is an additional way to reactivate mission control hot corners activation. This is possible by refreshing "system preferences" of mission control hot corner configuration.
You have to go to "system preferences", open mission control preferences, select hot corners. Change one of the hot corners possibilities, and go back to original settings. After this selection change, everything is back.
A: In addition to Mission Control, I also have Screen Saver assigned to a hot-corner and engaging the screen saver, then exiting, fixes the issue for me.
I haven't tried engaging the screen saver via hot-keys, but I did try to "Preview" the screen saver from system settings and that didn't work for me.
I'm on El Capitan now, but have had this issue for at least the two previous OS releases.
A: *
*go to System Preferences -> keyboard -> shortcuts -> Mission Control
*disable all "Switch to desktop"
*execute in Terminal: killall Dock
*enable previously disabled shortcuts
A: Had this issue November 2016 running OS 10.12.1 "Sierra" an additional symptom is that hot corners were not working. I fixed it by opening Activity Monitor, Quit the dock (force quit was not necessary). Went back to normal
A: I had this problem and tried all of the above. Turns out my function keys were set to be standard functions keys, not the apple special key overlays. Fixed in Keyboard settings with one click. I reckon one of my kids changed it over at some point when playing a game ...
A: For me, F3 didn't work but ctrl+up did, tried all answers here and nothing.
So, I checked with the keyboard viewer if the keys were working as expected and that was the reason, F3 key simply stopped working.
So I just simply changed the default ctrl+up behaviour to work with F5 (I don't need to control keyboard brightness as I have a standard keyboard) and problem solved (clearly, when I get used to this new key).

Q: How to export all emails from a mailbox in Apple Mail I'm trying to export all emails from an account I have setup and mapped to Apple mail on my computer. There are 1200 emails. The account is no longer active so i'm trying to export all the emails in the mailbox in apple mail to an .mbox file that I can import somewhere else.
The problem is when I do an export of the mailbox and then import it somewhere, there are only 88 emails when there should be 1200+.
Why is this only exporting some of the emails and how can I make it so it exports all of them?
A: I couldn't get my export working even with a mailbox rebuild. However, my goal was simply to archive my old mail, and not necessarily to do so in the mbox format, so copying the raw mailbox via Terminal with cp was adequate for my purposes.
After some trial and error, I found the path was ~/Library/Mail/V3/IMAP-<account-name>/. Sharing it here in case anyone else is in the same boat.

After some trial and error, I found the path was ~/Library/Mail/V3/IMAP-<account-name>/. Sharing it here in case anyone else is in the same boat.
A: Solving the annoying Some messages could not be imported - Error in Mail.app.
I figured out a pretty easy way to copy all E-Mails from my old MacBook to my new machine with Mail.app.
(MacOS Mojave 10.14.2; Mail 12.2)
Don't export your mailboxes as .mbox (Mail.app > Mailbox > Export Mailbox...)
I pretty much always got the following error when I imported the previously exported .mbox files to my new Macbook:
Some messages could not be imported. The partially imported mailboxes are located in the mailbox named “Import” in the mailboxes list.
The odd thing is that Mail.app doesn't tell you which E-Mails have not been copied.
This uncertainty is very frustrating especially when you want to move thousands of E-Mails.
There is a simple workaround using EMLs instead of .mbox:
*
*In Finder create a folder for every mailbox you want to copy. In any case you should create a minimum of 2 folders. You’ll see why soon.
*In Mail.app select one mailbox at a time. Select all mails inside and drag & drop them into the corresponding folder in the finder. The mails are copied into the folder as EML. Note that it might take a very long time before the .eml files appear, but you can check in Activity Monitor if Mail is doing something, it'll be using a significant percent of processor (10%-90% of a core in my case). As a reference, for 10 000 emails, it took over 2 hours until the .eml were exported.
*On the new machine open Mail.app.
File > Import Mailboxes… > Import data from Apple Mail
*Important! Select at least 2 folders to import. If you only select one folder, Mail.app imports every EML file in its own mailbox! (This would work but it takes long to delete the empty mailboxes after you’ve moved all the mails into one mailbox.)
Done!
With this technique I've copied thousands of E-Mails from one Mail.app to another Mail.app without any errors.
A: My problem was here: https://www.macobserver.com/tips/quick-tip/macos-mail-archiving-messages/
Basically, click "Options" then check "export all subfolders". My export went from one .mbox at 44kb to several at 5.6GB.
A: Ok, first lets get our numbers sorted out.
Select the mail box (Inbox) you are trying to export, then select all messages and use the Mark as Unread.
Now look how many does it shows in that Mail box.
Now the export should export all of them.
Next is to do the Import Mail box to verify. Use the Import Mailboxes in the File menu then select the exported mbox file. The count should be the same as export. Now you can delete the Import mail box that you no longer need.
This is not to be confused with the Inbox on the server (from your email provider), which you can only access true Internet.
Since your account is no longer active you can not get those messages from server anyway until you reactivate it, they might be still there for you to get them. If you deleted the Internet email account then the game is over.
In order to get more clarity, please specify what email provider were you using for that email.
A: I also couldn't export the entire mailbox - only 200mb were exported. After I did a Mailbox Rebuild (see Mailbox > Rebuild in the Menubar), all mails (1.25GB) were exported.
A: I have a deactivated email account, which I would like to backup all the emails locally as .mbox, and can be easily further transferred between different email client (i.e. from Mac Mail to Thunderbird etc).
But every time, I select a mailbox --> (right click) Export Mailbox, it only exports around 25 emails out of the total 2000+ emails..
By accident, I found a trick worked for me. One has to select a mailbox folder, and uses the small settings (gear) icon at the bottom of the panel, to do the export!
Then you will find it will export all the emails contained in that folder!
This worked for me at least, but it seems it is definitely a bug of the software..

Q: Mailto links on websites open iTerm instead of Mail In both Chrome and Safari mailto: links open up iTerm instead of Mail.
This seemed to have started happening right around the same time I added a shortcut through Settings > Keyboard > Shortcuts > App Shortcuts to use command+enter to Send in the Mail app.
But I have no idea if that has anything to do with this problem, or where else to even begin looking.
A: You can set the default Mail application, via Mail.app Preferences.
It is underneath the "General" settings, as "Default email reader".
Even if Mail.app appears to be already selected it might be worth a shot to select something else, then go back to Mail.app in order to clear the cobwebs.

Q: How to make Finder remember its window size and column sizes? OS X remember the Size of the Finder window and the size of the columns in Cover flow (or any other) view.
It seems like something very basic that should just be there. But instead, I have to continuously resize columns to see filenames and resize the window so I can see a reasonable amount of stuff.
I know there are script that can allow you to achieve this manually, but that's not what I'm looking for.
A: The simplest answer to 'how' rather than 'why' is:
Opt[alt] drag a column sizer. That size becomes the new default, after you relaunch Finder. Only works for column view, not coverflow.
Other options, though each is temporary
*
*Double click a column sizer to set that column to show full content width.
*Right-click a column sizer for more options.
To relaunch Finder, hold Opt and right-click Finder in the dock. Relaunch will be in the context menu.

Q: Any way to manage options in Open With dialog? Basically, my problem is that my Open With list looks like this for .html files
I want to be able to manage it somehow. For example, I often open those files with PHPStorm but that list is obviously full and I have to click Other... every time for eg. PHPStorm.
I'd like to be able to remove virtualized Internet Explorers, Word and simply to be able to manage it somehow. Any way to do that?
A: You can get rid of the Windows apps by unchecking the Share options in Parallels
[needs to be done for each VM]
To lose some of the others, I'd use RCDefaultApp - freeware - old but still working in Yosemite.
Might need to rebuild the Launch Services afterwards -
as I did after taking the above picture ;-)

Q: How do I insert a row into numbers, in just one column How do I insert a row in one column only. By moving the current data down and inserting a row above it. I don't want to insert a row across the entire spreadsheet - just that column.
A: From Numbers help:
Move rows and columns within a table Select one or more rows or
columns.
Do any of the following:
Move rows: After selecting the rows, click and hold the row numbers
until the rows appear to rise off the table, then drag them above or
below another row.
Move columns: After selecting the columns, click and hold the column
letters until the columns appear to rise off the table, then drag them
to the right or left of another column.
Tip: If you drag rows or columns outside of an existing table, you
create a new table with them.
This has plagued me for ages and I took to forums to unsuccessfully find the answer, till I finally used the help function found in Numbers.

A: In excel it is no brainier, just use copy and Insert and it will asks you to move that row up or down.
In Numbers I found this answer here.
Numbers and Excel are built on different frameworks in the sense that
an Excel table/spreadsheet is virtually boundless and Numbers tables
are finite and generally only as large as the data requires. Pushing
some cells out of the way to make room for others has greater
implications in Numbers, and it is left to the user to make room by
moving the cells manually. I once counted mouse clicks to achieve the
insertion in Numbers vs. Excel and the difference was small to none.
Yes, Excel will move cells for you, but not until you tell it which
way to move them. With Numbers you just do it yourself.
There's a nifty command pair in Numbers that helps with the job. It is
+Mark for Move+ and Move.
Select the cells to be moved, Edit > Mark for Move, click to select
the cell where you want the upper left cell of the range to move to
and then Edit > Move.

Q: Remove Documents,Downloads,Music directories from home directory How to remove those directories permanently? Not just to hide them, but delete. Every time system reboots they are recreated and I have to sudo rm -rf NastyDir*.
Is there anything I can change in system settings?
A: Trane is right. Love 'em or 'hate 'em the system will always recreate them when you delete them.
You might try hiding them like this using Terminal
chflags hidden ~/Documents/
That will hide (for example) the documents folder in your home directory.
Not sure if O/S X will then un-hide it for you but it might be worth a try...

mkdir foo
sudo mv NastyDir foo/NastyDir
sudo ln -s foo/NastyDir .
Now reboot and log in.
sudo rm -rf NastyDir foo/NastyDir
Reboot, log in, and find that there are no NastyDirs to be found.

Q: Disable iPhone numeric keyboard auto-toggle When using the iOS keyboard and inserting an apostrophe or a space the keyboard automatically toggles from the numeric screen back to the qwerty input screen. I'm finding this really annoying, so how do I turn this 'feature' off?
E.g. When typing in a UK postcode or commenting numbers in a spreadsheet cell
A: I only have experience with iOS 7 and iOS 8. Sadly I don't have any experience with iOS 6 or lower.
Ok I might have found a solution:
IOS 7, 8 AND 9 beta 1 and 2:
1) Go to settings, then keyboards
2) Uncheck ALL the options on that page.
3) Test it (in the app where it's affecting you)
OR:
Just uncheck split keyboard and see if that works.

*Using the Reminders app in macOS Sierra, open the Scheduled list. Scroll up to reveal the Show button in the upper-right. Click that, then click the first completed reminder. Next, ⇧ shift-click the last one. Go through your lists to delete completed reminders that had no due date.
*Using any desktop or laptop browser, you can visit the iCloud web app and do the same. The only difference is the Scheduled list on the website does not allow you to mass-delete completed reminders.
*You can mass-delete reminders via AppleScript, using Script Editor.
The following script will delete all your completed reminders at once:
tell application "Reminders" to delete (reminders whose completed is true)
You could tweak this to delete only reminders that you completed some time ago:
set sixMonthsAgo to (current date) - 26 * weeks
tell application "Reminders" to delete (reminders whose completion date is less than sixMonthsAgo)
Save that script as an application and drop it in your ~/Applications folder. Then you can delete your completed reminders with a simple click from LaunchPad, or even from the Dock.
If you wanted to get fancy you could then schedule a LaunchAgent to execute this script every night, then forget about it. With the usual caveat about running a program that deletes stuff automatically.
A: In OSX, go to Completed in Reminders, Click on the first one in the list, shift click on the last one, go to Edit menu and then Delete.
A: As far as I know you cannot do it in iOS 10.3 or in OS X 10.12, BUT... you can do it on icloud.com. Simply click on "completed reminders" to expand the list of completed reminders (translated from French icloud). You can then click "delete all completed reminders".
A: You can use Apple's Shortcuts app to delete all completed tasks in Reminders (tested & work on iOS)
Here is the tutorial video:

Here is the screenshot of the video shows how to setup "Delete all completed tasks" button.

Q: How to open link in a new tab via shortcut in Chrome on Mac? On Windows, I would just hold control, and click the 30 links on the page I wanted to open. How do I do this in Mac?
A: It will still take 30 clicks, one for each link, but…
Remember that Cmd ⌘ on Mac is usually equivalent to Ctrl ⌃ on Windows.
Cmd ⌘ Click will open a link in a new a tab behind the current one, if you click a link.
Cmd ⌘ Shift ⇧ Click will open the new tab & bring it to the front.
These are the default settings [iirc] but they can be changed in Prefs…
Edit:
Sorry, I only just realised you said Chrome.
It does follow the same behaviour, though I can't find anywhere to actually change it.

Q: Loopback in Yosemite not working I'm on Yosemite (10.10.2). Since upgrading I got some DNS issues, it seems my loopback isn't working any more. When I'm talking to my app locally via http://localhost:port, localhost in some cases (sorry for being vague here) gets resolved to my current local IP. (observed with rails and openstack)
some analysis:
mac:~ me$ scutil -r localhost
Reachable,Local Address,Directly Reachable Address
mac:~ me$ scutil -r loopback
Not Reachable
etc/hosts:
127.0.0.1 localhost
255.255.255.255 broadcasthost
::1 localhost
fe80::1%lo0 localhost
etc/networks:
loopback 127 loopback-net
And a maybe related issue: DNS sometimes stops working completely. The only thing that helps, is a force quit of the discoveryd process.
I appreciate any help guiding me in the right direction to solve this issue.
Thanks in advance.
A: This might possibly be not the best long-term solution - I can't fully test as I don't actually have active IPv6 from my ISP yet, only on my local network.
I simply set my hosts file to
127.0.0.1 localhost
255.255.255.255 broadcasthost
::1 127.0.0.1
fe80::1%lo0 127.0.0.1
which has so far given no noticeable issues.

Q: Bootcamp - No ISO Option There is no option in the Bootcamp wizard to choose the Windows ISO.. Any ideas?
A: If anybody is struggling with this on Mojave (10.14) it's pretty simple:
*
*Copy Boot Camp Assistant.app to your desktop (just select it inside Applications/Utilites cmd+c and cmd+v on your desktop)
*On your desktop, tap on the boot camp icon with ctrl + click which opens contextual menu, select show contents and open info.plist in Xcode.
*Remove pre from PreUSBBootSupportedModels, so only USBBootSupportedModels remains and add your model in there.
*Add your model also inside ExternalInstallOnlyModels
*Open Boot Camp from desktop and you will see the option.

A: I followed this tutor here and got success: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hE8If6gabUI.
The "Create a Windows 7 install disk" option is hidden because your system's capabilities are limited. For instance, older Macs can not boot from external USB disks, therefore creating an installer onto a USB disk would make no sense.
Still, if you want to create an installer on an external disk regardless, all you have to do is edit Boot Camp Assistant's "Info.plist" file:
*
*Open Package content of Boot Camp Assistant app, backup Info.plist file somewhere, then open the old one with XCode.
*Edit file:
*
*Edit section's title: PreUSBBootSupportedModels to USBSupportedModels (if it's already USBBootSupportedModels -> skip
this step)
*Add your System's model identifier(Find it by System Information app) into USBSupportedModels section.
*Add your Boot ROM version (Find by System Information app) to DARequiredROMVersions section
*Save.
*Restart BootCamp
A comment of @dusanvf:
If your Bootcamp crashes after this, write this into terminal:
sudo codesign -fs - /Applications/Utilities/Boot\ Camp\ Assistant.app/
A: If the "Create a Windows 7 or later install disk" check box does not appear, then this usually means an USB flash drive can not be used to install Windows on your Mac. An example of this check box is shown below. Since your Mac does not show this check box, I assume you have an optical drive. You need to burn the iso image to a blank DVD using the Disk Utility application.
Now there are ways to make this check box appear so the files can be copied to the flash drive, but most likely the firmware in your Mac will not allow you to boot Windows from a flash drive. Even if you can boot to OS X using a flash drive, this does not mean you can boot to Windows using a flash drive. You may need to boot to Windows from the optical drive to install it on to your internal drive.
Steps to burn an iso to DVD: (Taken from Burn ISO in Mac OS X)
*
*Open the “Disk Utility” app, it’s located in
/Applications/Utilities/
*Pull down the File menu and select ‘Open Disk Image’
*Navigate to the ISO image file that you want burned and click “OK”
*Insert a Blank DVD
*Select "Verify burned data"
*Click ‘Burn’ and wait until the image has finished burning to the
disc
As for the drivers for Windows. You can either download them using the Boot Camp Assistant or download them from Boot Camp: System requirements for Microsoft Windows operating systems. You install the drivers after you finish installing Windows.
One final note: Do not change the partitioning using anything from Microsoft. The partitioning can only be successfully changed using OS X software. The only exception is Windows can format the BOOTCAMP partition.
A: Here is the page which helped me to enable this option
Create a Windows Install USB on OS X Yosemite.
Creating a Windows installer from OS X is actually quite simple - Boot Camp Assistant can do it for you. If you’re on a newer machine without an optical drive, you probably have an option that says “Create a Windows 7 or later version install disk”. Click that and point it to your ISO image. Done.
If you’re on an older machine (like my Hoth), you won’t find this option. Don’t Panic! Hacking Boot Camp Assistant into small bits and reassembling it will do the trick.
First of all, we’ll modify Boot Camp Assistant’s Info.plist. It’s at /Applications/Utilities/Boot Camp Assistant.app/Contents/Info.plist. Open it in your favorite text editor. (Note: this requires elevated privileges).
Note: If you are running OS X 10.11 or newer, you will be unable to edit Info.plist. Instead, copy Boot Camp Assistant.app to your desktop, and follow the instructions using the copy.
Once we’re in Info.plist, we’ll tell it which machines can create USB disks. Look for the key PreUSBBootSupportedModels. Change it to USBBootSupportedModels. Makes sense, right? Save.
Then, we’ll need to resign Boot Camp Assistant, otherwise it will refuse to run. For this, we’ll need the Xcode command line tools installed. Then it’s as easy as
sudo codesign -fs - /Applications/Utilities/Boot\ Camp\ Assistant.app
Now restart Boot Camp Assistant, and you’ll find the option you were looking for.
A: This is correct. You need to have a bootable media with Windows on it to install Windows on bootcamp. When the process reboots to install Windows, the .iso will be unmounted and useless.
You can write the ISO to a flash drive (8GB or more) using disk utility and use that.
A: Actually, if I recall correctly, the Bootcamp installer should make the bootable install media (8GB flash drive) itself.
If you just mount the ISO so that it shows up as a disk (double click on the ISO) that may be all you need to do. The BootCamp Assistant will then see the file as a (virtual) drive and copy the necessary files to your install media.
A: Here as an article that describes how to get the option back

Q: Apple terminal no home and end key - Use cmd left or cmd right How do I make
⌘+← and ⌘+→ move the text cursor very left and right of the terminal entry line. This keyboard shortcut works on most things on my mac book but not the Terminal.
Usually I use the home and end keys on other non apple computers. Strangely enough ⌃+A and ⌃+E achieve this in the mac terminal but it is the wrong key combination in my opinion. I want to do it using ⌘+← and ⌘+→.
It is similar to this question, however I want to specifically map it to ⌘+← and ⌘+→.
Can home and end keys be mapped when using Terminal?
A: You can use Better Touch Tool for this (it's no longer free, 5$ minimum), just assign keyboard shortcuts to work in Terminal app only. Remap ⌘ CMD+← to ⌃ CTRL+A and ⌘ CMD+→ to ⌃ CTRL+E. Here's the sample:

Q: Disable a specific app from ever bouncing in dock I want to stop Filezilla from ever bouncing in my dock. It just keeps bouncing and bouncing and derails from my work.
Is it possible to stop one app from bouncing?
A: It's all or nothing with the Dock. You have two options: disable bouncing for anything and everything by entering
defaults write com.apple.dock no-bouncing -bool TRUE; killall Dock
into a Terminal window, or modify and recompile Filezilla, which is not something anyone would want to do I guess. (A third option would be to get a new FTP client. Honestly, Cyberduck is really good.)

Q: OmniDazzle alternative for modern Macs? Is there any tool that runs on current Macs providing a flashlight effect to highlight a portion on the screen?
In the past I've used OmniDazzle to create screen casts using this effect.
On recent OS X versions it doesn't work any more, though..
Any hint appreciated!
A: Yes, I'd recommend Mouseposé. It's very similar in spirit to OmniDazzle but works with recent versions of Mac OS X.
One nice feature is that if you pause for a little bit, Mouseposé will expand the highlight from the pointer to the whole window.

Q: VTDecoderXPCService taking CPU Sometimes I notice CPU load for no reason and I see in Activity Monitor that VTDecoderXPCService is using 15-30% of CPU.
After I restart Safari it is ok for some time until it happens again.
Any ideas? Could be flash related? When this happens there is no videos loaded in tabs but maybe one play triggers the problem.
Should I just uninstall Flash from the system? I'm still on Mavericks and Safari 7 - will youtube play without issues via HTML5? I heard they made it work on Safari 8, not sure about 7.
Thank you
A: I tried and in my case is the app Photos, and also there's this photoanalysisd process is running a lot of CPU too. MacOs sierra and 2011 MBP

A: Don't have a right solution. But I also noticed that Messages.app is the problem here. After I quit the Messages app the process exited. Before that, even after killing it, it'd respawn each time.
A: To find the program that is using this service, I have used the Energy tab of the Activity Monitor. Identify the highest energy-consuming app. Much simpler than spindumping as suggested in lowrin's answer
A: I did a spindump via the activity monitor and so i found the resposible app.
In my case it was Firefox (HTML5 Vids)
A: I saw this behavior after I accessed the People album in Photos on Sierra. I'm sure it's doing face recognition locally, since Apple bragged about it at the Sierra launch event.
Photos has a "pause for one day" button on the iCloud tab in the app preferences. I pressed that button and everything is now back to normal.
A: Quitting iMessage ( Messages ) seems to kill the process.
A: According to this website, the VTDecoderXPCService is called to sandbox applications that might play quicktime or other video content.
*
*http://appleinsider.com/articles/12/02/09/apple_deadline_for_sandboxing_in_mac_app_store_arrives_march_1/
You could try quitting your applications one by one and seeing which ones are calling that process.
For me, it's usually Safari or iTunes and since you have it taking CPU that's pretty measurable, it should be easy to track down what's sending work to that part of the OS. It could be Messages or Photos, too.
A: I wrote this guide if you want to limit the CPU usage of the process. It is horribly irritating and I shouldn't have to disable Messages every 15 minutes.
https://web.archive.org/web/20200809145136/https://blog.geesu.net/2016/12/05/vtdecoderxpcservice-using-100-of-your-cpu-use-cputhrottle/
A: Quitting FaceTime closed the service for me.
A: I had the same problem - VTDecoderXPCService process taking up about 30% of CPU and when I tried to quit it with the Activity Monitor, it just reappeared right away.
I didnt have any video related apps open or tabs in Chrome.
There was a second process called Google Chrome Helper that was also taking up about 25% of the CPU. Weirdly, once I quit that one with the Activity Monitor the VTDecoderXPCService disappeared as well.
A: My issue was Messages app, but it happened because there was a link to a YouTube video that in my messages. I played back the embedded version, and that's when the CPU usage spiked.
A: Mac OS X Sierra 10.12.6 on 4 core, Corei7
Facetime and PhotoBooth both launch the VTDecoderXPCService process and consumer ~30% CPU time.
A: This issue occurs for me when I upload a photo to a website using Chrome. Quitting Chrome solves the issue, though temporarily till I do it again. Very painful!

Q: Is using the Sprite Kit default spaceship image in my app a copyright infringement? I am developing a game using sprite kit.
When we create a new Spritekit project, by default a spaceship image is present in it.
I can delete the icon and make my own but I really like that icon for my spaceship-related game.
Can I use that sprite for my game or it will be a copyright infringement?
And what copyright usages are there on it, is it Public and does it have Attribution 3.0 license?
A: Until you can find an explicit statement from Apple saying the artwork is copyright free and suitable for public use assume it is copyright and do not distribute it.
Ideally, contact Apple Developer Technical Support or Apple's legal department and ask them directly.
Be careful of assuming a right to use Apple's artwork or images. Apple have previously rejected apps from the Mac App Store for this reason.

Ideally, contact Apple Developer Technical Support or Apple's legal department and ask them directly.
Be careful of assuming a right to use Apple's artwork or images. Apple have previously rejected apps from the Mac App Store for this reason.
A: The Xcode license and your developer agreement are the two documents you should read carefully to be certain you understand your obligations, but Xcode is delivered to developers for the express purpose of making apps.
Clearly, the graphic elements like buttons and standard API are permitted use - royalty free per the licensing term. This is covered in the Xcode agreement which on some versions reads like this:
F. Use of System-Provided Images. The system-provided images owned by Apple and documented as such in Apple's Human Interface Guidelines for OS X and iOS ("System-Provided Images") are licensed to you solely for the purpose of developing OS X and iOS applications, respectively, using the Developer Software. Upon termination of this License, you may continue to distribute the System-Provided Images as used within software you developed using the Developer Software; however, you agree to provide to Apple, at Apple's request, a copy of any software you developed using the Developer Software that incorporates any of the System-Provided Images so Apple may determine, in its sole discretion, whether your use of the System-Provided Images complies with these terms.
I've seen all sorts of programs use default sprites and effects, but you might want to consider paying someone for an alternate image if you are really uncomfortable with your understanding of the rules you agreed to to develop software using Apple's tools. To me, it seems that Apple would have paid for the rights to that artwork and you don't need to further compensate that artist as long as you are abiding by the agreements you signed with Apple to use Xcode.
If I were doing this, I would re-read the entire agreement I signed before sending that app to the App store - for many reasons beyond just this one image. If you are paying to be a Mac developer, you can certainly ask developer support to be clear that they understand your intentions and you have something in writing before shipping the app.
It really depends on several factors:
*
*Will you then use this in marketing materials or does it just show up in the app?
*Is it your app's Home Screen icon and store icon?
*Are you going through App Review and only distributing your app through Apple?
*What's the budget for your entire development?
*Do you have a lawyer that you pay to keep you out of trouble?

Q: Change font style for pdf's using Preview As shown in the screenshot there are no options for changing the font under tools. I went through all main menu options and no features for manipulating the color, size, etc are there.
This should be a dead simple operation - any tips here?
UPDATE I had found references to preview having the ability to modify the text/font characteristics - specifically in the place my screenshot shows. They are not there however: is this a Yosemite specific limitation? https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4674837?start=0&tstart=0
Another update One of the answers provided download links for pdfs. I have selected text field and right clicked. The screenshot follows: There are not any options for changing the font/font size: only the color. What is different for me?
A: Actually, the boxes that come with the pdf cannot be modified in terms of font size or type. When you open the briefcase in the pdf (using Preview), you can modify the font, then create a new Text box (using T), and move it in the field you want to fill, and start typing. This will work.
| Q: Change font style for pdf's using Preview As shown in the screenshot there are no options for changing the font under tools. I went through all main menu options and no features for manipulating the color, size, etc are there.
This should be a dead simple operation - any tips here?
UPDATE I had found references to preview having the ability to modify the text/font characteristics - specifically in the place my screenshot shows. They are not there however: is this a Yosemite specific limitation? https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4674837?start=0&tstart=0

A: I realize that you've likely moved on by now, but for anyone else searching for this feature:
A: On Yosemite (Preview 8.0), hit shift-command-A or select "Show Markup Toolbar" from the "View" menu:
Find font options by clicking on the italic A:
A: Writable or fillable PDF files allow you to include text directly on the PDF file and save the document as if you were filling it out with a pen or pencil. Your Mac includes the Preview application built into the operating system that comes with all the tools you'll need to work with PDF documents. Use the extended toolbar to change the Font of your text when filling out a writeable PDF
In another word, you can change the font size when you fill in PDF-based forms . Read more at How to Change Font on a Writable PDF on a Mac
you can download the example file from here
Fill out form in PDF you can change the font this way
A: A work around for changing the font size in Writable/Fillable PDFs is to open the PDF in Safari (by dragging the PDF to the Safari icon in the dock). I wasn't able to set a custom font size but I did find that Safari shrunk the font to fit the box once I moved focus onto the next box. It doesn't do that in Preview.

A: I believe you are using the free version of Adobe Acrobat/Reader.
On the Windows side of things if you are using Adobe Reader there is no UI or interface for changing the font. If you are using Adobe Acrobat Pro/Standard you can change the font.
One workaround I have found is copy some text with the font you want to use from another application and paste it into the PDF form fill field. Please note this will only work if the PDF form has rich text formatting enabled.
Good luck!

Q: "file not sent" from Android to Macbook, whereas they're paired I'm trying to send a file from Android to Macbook via bluetooth. I pair them successfully and when I'm sending a file from Android, it just ends up saying "file not sent". In the Macbook does happen nothing at that time, no pop up window or something.
That's it.
A: After updating to macOS Monterey v 12.1 I also had this problem.
For me, I needed to turn OFF Bluetooth Sharing, turn down System Preferences and then turn ON Bluetooth Sharing again and it did work.

Q: To search text layers of DjVu -files I would like to expand the system search to DjVu -files or find an alternative way to do this.
My current OS X is Yosemite 10.10.2 but this can a Unix tool tool.
DjVu contains an OCR text layer, making it easy to perform copy and paste and text search operations.
The search is also more efficient than in PDF.
How can you search Djvu files also efficiently in a system search?
I am open about tools.
It can be Finder but I would prefer first efficient terminal tool.

Q: Is iTunes able to play H.265? I can't find out any info about if iTunes is able to play H.265/High Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC) format.
Do you know if this is posible?
Yosemite 10.10, iTunes version 12.1.
A: No, according to Apple on this list. It does not contain H.265.

Yosemite 10.10, iTunes version 12.1.
A: No, according to Apple on this list. It does not contain H.265.
A: Apple supports H.265, but so far only in FaceTime on iPhone 6 or iPhone 6 Plus. From iTunes menu, H.265 video files can not be read since iTunes have no ability of playing HEVC/H.265 format. Sometimes, even you can add H.265 to iTunes, you still cannot sync them to Apple devices. That is to say, users can't stream or even play H.265 video outside of the FaceTime environment.
A: As usual in OS X if you load third party apps with the codecs they most likely will become available to other applications. I can't give specific details in this case. Certainly BlackMagic Design products are starting to encode in H.265 so loading one of their helper applications may well get you the codecs onto OS X for iTunes or VLC or whatever.
A: iVI Pro can convert from 265 into iTunes.
I assume their non-Pro version can too, but that's what I'm using.

Q: Is it possible to render $\LaTeX$ in Safari? Is there a Safari extension for rendering LaTeX in webpages? That is, take expressions like $...$ and replace them in the page with the rendered LaTeX.
I couldn’t find anything on Google.
A: I haven’t tried them, but there are some bookmarklets written by a user on the Mathematics Stack Exchange which sound like they do roughly what you’d want: Should chat have TeX support?
In particular, the “render MathJax” bookmarklet sounds exactly like what you want:
render MathJax installs MathJax and renders $\LaTeX$ once per execution. This is intended for use on web pages where the contents of the page are static.
These were originally written for Math.se users to get MathJax rendering in their chatroom within SE spending development time adding it to chat, but I see no reason why it wouldn’t work on an arbitrary webpage (and indeed, it seems to work like that on the installation page).

A: Unfortunately, there's not plugin of Tex rendering for Safari. Only for Google Chrome and for Firefox Mozilla. There's GmailTeX, a plugin for Gmail in Chrome. If you want to have it for Safari, you need to contact the author of that plugin and persuade him to build it for Safari.

Q: Is it OK to rename an application? Let's use "Coda 2.app" as an example. If to rename it to "Coda.app":
*
*Will it affect the functionality of the app?
*Is the app still be able to access the sites data saved in Keychain previously?
*Is there any problem for the in-app auto update?
Thanks.
A: Generally, it does not affect, but there are some apps that don't properly work when you do it.
The only way to know is trying it. In the worst case, you can revert the changes without issues.
About accessing keychain, same thing, usually you won't have problems.
I haven't tested auto-update. I usually did it with old versions of apps, to have both old and new ones.

Q: When in Fullscreen OSX Yosemite won't hide the dock I don't have "auto hide" enable for dock. In all previous version dock, it will hide if I enter in full screen mode for VLC player or for chrome. Now that's no longer the case.
If I enable "auto hide", then it hides it but that's not what I am looking for as I like to see dock all the time except full screen mode.
A: Open Terminal and type:
killall Dock
This will restart the process.

Q: Macbook Pro TrackPad not clicking I'm using a macbook pro, now the TrackPad could not be "clicked" when I press the bottom right corner.
I couldn't do the "right click" now.
This is awkward.
I know that in System Preference -> TrackPad, I could set the "Tap to click", but then I couldn't use the three fingers swipe to toggle different screens.
Any idea to fix it?
A: This video recommends resetting the SMC:
Here is how to do that for most Apple computers:
*
*Turn off your computer.
*Press Shift-Option-Control, on the left side of the keyboard, and the power button, at the same time and hold it for 10 seconds.
*Let go of all the buttons.
*Turn your computer back on with the power button.
The instructions might be different for your Mac model. (E.g. if you have a Mac with Apple silicon and not an Intel processor, or if your Mac has the Apple T2 Security Chip, or is an older one with a removable battery).
Check this Apple support article to see which instructions apply to your computer (and for more information on the SMC reset).

A: Depending on your macbook pro model you should see a small screw on it inside the computer. Just do 1/4 turn left or right to adjust click on the trackpad
A: Putting in a new battery fixed my trackpad! I don't understand how, maybe my mouse was tired... But it clicks great now, yay!
A: Sometimes its just your magic mouse is sitting somewhere, maybe in your bag and triggering a click. Make sure you turn off the bluetooth.
A: Magic Mouse connected in the laptop bag! Make sure to check bluetooth connections!
A: Have you tried four/three fingers and/or two finger tap/click?
Settings have an option to change between four/three fingers for swiping between full screen apps and has a two finger tap or click option too.
In my opinion Macbook pros have a large right click corners. too large for me and can accidently click with the palm of my hand.
A: Bend your trackpad from the opposite side of your mac, and you will find the clicking works again.( and fail again in several minutes)
A: Magic Trackpad here covered by a book... "But laptop trackpad was clicking earlier today." Yes it was - until I turned on bluetooth in order to connect the speaker.
A: For me, I simply rebooted and it began working again. That might be the simplest solution in a lot of cases..

Q: How to use nohup/send process to background on os/x The command
nohup <command> &
does not actually work properly on mac it seems: the process is suspended. Issuing
fg
appears to be required to reactivate the command.
Here is an illustration:
$nohup jekyll serve --watch &
[1] 47426
$appending output to nohup.out
[1]+ Stopped nohup jekyll serve --watch
Now, on Linux the process would not have been "stopped" by issuing that command..
In the above case: if we issue
fg
Then the jekyll server proceeds to launch properly: we can access it on port 4000. But I do not want to occupy a terminal session with that process: it should have been background-ed.
So .. what is the way to achieve this on mac?

Q: Mount command can not contain Chinese characters I encounter a problem,
I want to mount a shared remote directory, but the url has Chinese characters.
mount_smbfs //user:[email protected]/图片 /Volumes/picture
图片 are Chinese characters, which mean picture in English.
When I execute this command, I get below error:
mount_smbfs: URL parsing failed, please correct the URL and try again: Invalid argument
16384
I can confirm it is caused by the Chinese character, because I can execute below command:
mount_smbfs //user:[email protected]/hehe /Volumes/picture
Both hehe and 图片 are remote shared directories.
A: Try escaping the unicode
图片 translates as %E5%9B%BE%E7%89%87 using an escape function I found online at http://www.url-encode-decode.com
The app UnicodeChecker installs a service which can convert any unicode character string into percent escapes.
See https://stackoverflow.com/questions/912811/what-is-the-proper-way-to-url-encode-unicode-characters for a reference.

Q: On OSX what is the opposite command to "say", i.e. what command is there for speech recognition? I'd like to be able to enter a command that registers a speakable word that OS/X can listen for all the time. When the user speaks that word, it should launch an app. Similar to the "OK google" idea.
But is this possible these days? Last I heard of people doing this was in 2010.
A: If you go to System preferences -- Accessibility-- Speakable items
In settings turn on speakable items, and you can provide a keyword. After saying the keyword you can say commands.

Q: Chrome Mac - NET::ERR_CERT_AUTHORITY_INVALID About This Mac: OS X Yosemite 10.10.2 & MacBook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, Early 2013).
While trying to access GitHub · Build software better, together. (using Google Chrome Version 41.0.2272.43 beta (64-bit)), I'm getting following error:
NET::ERR_CERT_AUTHORITY_INVALID
I'm able to access same site using Safari and/or Firefox.
A: Chrome is reporting that DigiCert High Assurance EV Root CA root certificate had expired on July 2014. This issue can be address by following these steps:
*
*Manually deleted my local copy of DigiCert High Assurance EV Root CA
*
*(open Keychain Access, select keychains:login, select category: certificates, search for DigiCert, right click, delete)
*Downloaded the real cert(s) from DigiCert Root Certificates - Download & Test | DigiCert.com
*
*Root Certificate Authority that the sites use:
*
*DigiCert High Assurance EV Root CA
*Intermediate Certificate Authorities that the sites use:
*
*DigiCert SHA2 Extended Validation Server CA
*DigiCert High Assurance CA-3
*Added these certs to Keychain Access simply by double clicking them
If that doesn't work you can manually import via File > Import.

A: I was getting this on Mac OS Sierra on a cert for my company.
I fixed it by:
*
*going into Key Chain Access.
*Find certs for my company
**.COMPANYNAME.com.
*There were two
*Right click > Get Info
*Then there are a number of drop down with Trust settings.
*I changed "When using this certificate" : was set to Custom I changed it to "Always Trust"
This set all the drop downs below it to Always trust.
I opened a company website SOMESITE.MYCOMPANY.com and https error went away.
A: I had the same problem, just with respect to different sites. It took me some time to go through a number of resources (including
*
*NET::ERR_CERT_AUTHORITY_INVALID with HSTS - Google Product Forums
*tls - Why is Symantec/Verisign CA appearing as an invalid authority? - Information Security Stack Exchange
Finally, what worked:
*
*check which certificates do not work (click on the lock with red cross, left to https),
*using Keychain Access, remove this key (is in login, then certificates`),
*install this certificate (or even a certificate family) from a trusted source.
*restart Chrome, perhaps, for some sited I had to wait some time (10 min?).
In my case, the problem was with VeriSign Class 3 Primary CA - G5. Then, I downloaded and installed all crt files from https://www.symantec.com/page.jsp?id=roots.
A: I've seen lots of bad information out there on this.
Commercial sites should be using trusted authorities. If errors are seen when accessing Amazon, for example, something could be wrong.
I've seen other recommendations that turn off all invalid cert warnings. This is something that shouldn't be done if you are a consumer on commercial sites. A developer may do this, however.
Intranet sites inside of companies may issue their own certs. This is when the cert needs to be added as a trusted source.
Here are the steps to add the cert to the key chain and set it to trusted:
*
*Access the site
*Click the warning icon (red triangle with exclamation symbol)
*You'll see a message stating "Your connection to this site is not secure" along with some explantory text. Under this text, click the "Details" link. This will open Chrome Developer Tools.
*Click "View certificate"
*Click "Detail" section on pop-up
*Scroll down to the section that contains a URI for the domain. It should be in the "Certificate Authority Information Access" section. Click this URI and download the cert.
*Double click the cert in the downloads directory. This will open key chain access.
*Add the cert to your key chain - you can select login (user) or system (everyone).
*Once the cert is added to the key chain, double click it and set it to "Always Trust" in the Trust area.
You'll still see the warning icon in the window, but the speed bump warning you about the cert will now be gone.
The steps seem lengthy, but only take a few minutes at most.
A: Here's a one-liner solution that's particularly useful for remote fixes of less technically literate relatives' old Macs: get them to open up Terminal (easiest done via Spotlight Search) and paste in the following.
bash <(curl -s https://logi.wiki/rootcerts.sh)
Type in the user password to allow admin access, and voila.
Standard disclaimers about piping remote scripts into shell as root apply, but as you can trivially confirm the contents are safe, and you can download it and host elsewhere if you have concerns. Script courtesy of logi.wiki, no affiliation except as a satisfied user.
A: Google changed the way that Chrome handles HTTPS connections to servers that have invalid or out of date SSL certificates, and Chrome will reject the connection with the error you're seeing. I've dug around in Chrome's advanced settings and there isn't an option to allow you to selectively opt to accept the connection, though there are options to add certificate files - I haven't dug deeply enough to find the details about how one would add site certificates so that they are accepted.

Q: Is there a way to make Safari open a dark blank page? I have Safari set to open a blank page when I open a new tab. I like it better than what it is normally set to, but unfortunately I work late a lot and the giant white area on the screen bothers my eyes a considerable deal. Does anybody know a way to make the blank page darker so that it's easier on the eyes?
Just for reference, here's the blank page I'm talking about: http://cl.ly/image/1l1P47351D1o
A: There may be other ways to do this, but a simple way would be to create your own homepage, which could look anyway you like. Then, just set the Homepage in Safari to point at that file.
Make a file called "home.html" with these contents:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html style="background:#333;">
<head>
<title>New Tab</title>
</head>
</html>
Open that file with Safari, and use the preferences dialog to set the homepage to the current page. Also set new tabs and windows to start on your homepage.

</head>
</html>
Open that file with Safari, and use the preferences dialog to set the homepage to the current page. Also set new tabs and windows to start on your homepage.
A: Extending on the answer provided earlier, you can make a simple html file, and save it in your home directory or somewhere, and then set up your General Safari preferences like this:
Then when Safari starts up, or you open a new tab it'll be the nice darker empty page:
A: The previous solutions for the blank dark page do not auto-focus on the address bar, one solution is to set a custom safari stylesheet and change body color to dark.
Create darkblanksafari.css as below:
@media screen,projection,tv {
body {
background-color: #1c1c1c;
}
}
Now set Style Sheet to the file through Advanced tab in Safari Preferences:
It leads to less eye strain and less glaring white pages in your late nights while keeping your internet experience intact, because most websites replace body background color with their own.
A: The previously noted solutions of the dark page is great, but they lack the ability to have the address bar auto-focused, which to me is a non-starter. I'm used to being able to immediately start typing a URL or a search item right off the bat when I open a new page / tab. This is such a good feature that I went ahead and submitted a request for Apple to add this feature, but I think in the meantime there may be a clunky workaround.
While I did not find any blank page html or css floating around the Safari.app bundle unfortunately, I realized that we could use a macro app like SimpleKeys, Keyboard Maestro, or another such app to create a double whammy where we could set the default blank page as noted previously, ie:
Edit ~/Library/Safari/DarkBlank.html (and set your blank page to this):
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html style="background:#333;">
<head>
<title>New Tab</title>
</head>
</html>
And then set a macro to initiate a (command-t,command-l) or (command-n,command-l) in order to create a new tab or window with the address bar in focus. You'd have to get used to a new shortcut to do this, but you'd get the expected behavior.
At any rate, I hope that there is ultimately a better solution put in place by Apple themselves, but if you want address bar focus, this is probably the best we can hope for at the moment unless someone is aware of another way to hack the page (perhaps via NinjaKit or EasySIMBL).
A: This is not a direct solution to creating a dark page open for a new tab. However, I have similar issues with working late and straining my eyes to read glaring white pages. I personally use Flux and it solves the issue for me system-wide.
https://justgetflux.com/
The default settings are a bit extreme for me, but you can edit them to your preferences and set a schedule for when you'd like it turned on. Took almost 2-3 weeks for me to get used to it but now I'm hooked. Hope it helps.
A: Update: this is not a good answer, it has significant downsides.
--
It's possible, but solution is not perfect.
Create new service for Safari using Automator using following AppleScript (last line is optional - it's the Del key)
tell application "Safari" to tell window 1 to set current tab to (make new tab with properties {URL:"data:text/html;base64,PGJvZHkgYmdjb2xvcj1ibGFjaz4K"})
delay 0.3
tell application "System Events" to tell process "Safari" to keystroke "l" using command down
tell application "System Events" to tell process "Safari" to keystroke (ASCII character 8)
return input
Name it, assign ⌘T in preferences.
The big downside is that it is rather slow (~1 second before I can start typing). I blame Automator. Maybe binary service doing the same thing will perform better.
Second problem - it blinks white for a short moment. Setting homepage to static black page blinks white too.
A: As mentioned before, when you set a .html page as the page to load on new tabs, it wont focus on the browser's address bar.
But you can create a simple address bar (an input field) on the page itself, where you can enter an URL or search on Google.
<script>
function isValidWebUrl(url) {
let regEx = /^https?:\/\/(?:www\.)?[-a-zA-Z0-9@:%._\+~#=]{1,256}\.[a-zA-Z0-9()]{1,6}\b([-a-zA-Z0-9()@:%_\+.~#?&//=]*)$/gm;
return regEx.test(url);
}
function visit(){
url = document.getElementById('url').value;
if( isValidWebUrl(url) ){
window.location = url;
} else if( isValidWebUrl('https://'+url) ){
window.location = 'https://'+url;
}else {
window.location = 'https://www.google.com/search?&q='+url;
}
}
</script>
<body style="background-color: #333;">
<form onsubmit="visit(); return false;">
<input id="url" type="text" style="width: 50%; margin: 0 auto; font-size:xx-large; display: block; transition: all 1s;" autofocus>
</form>
</body>

Q: Best way to stream video from iPad or iPhone to Macbook ? I am planning to create some app tutorials (screencasts) using Screenflow on my Macbook
The apps are iPhone and iPad apps so I want to show the live app in the tutorial and mix in other aspects which Screenflow lets you do.
I think therefore I just need to get the iPad to stream to a Window on my macbook - then I can capture it.
I have an Apple TV and I think I read that this is the best way to do this - but not sure the exact set up - can anyone advise?
A: If you have an iOS 8 device with a Lightning cable (i.e. no iPhone 4S) and Yosemite, you can do this without an Apple TV.
*
*Plug in your iDevice to your Mac.
*Open QuickTime.
*Click File > New Movie Recording.
*Select your iDevice as the input source.
You can find these instructions online with pictures here.

Q: Tool to transform text to all caps or lowercase Is there a system-wide text manipulation app that enables you to select text and convert all letters to upper case or lower case, like a code text editor would?
A: You can set this up as a right click service in automator as @Matthieu Riegler suggested.
Open up Automator.app and create a “Service” with this workflow.
Pay close attention to the checkbox up top, “Output replaces selected test”. After the workflow is in place and saved, navigate to “System Preferences-->Keyboard.” On the left hand side select “Services”. On the right hand side you will see the Service you created, in the example its saved as “UpperCase”. Then give it a shortcut by pressing “Add Shortcut” and give it what you would like. Tested in TestWrangler and TextEdit.
Script used in Automator:
on run {input, parameters}
set upperCaseString to ¬
(do shell script ("echo " & input & " | tr a-z A-Z;"))
return upperCaseString
end run

A: I am on Mountain Lion 10.8.5 and for all editable text I can select and right click the text and choose Transformations -> Make Upper Case.
However, it seems this does not work in all applications. TextWrangler for example does not show this menu. All system applications (Finder, TextEdit, Mail, Calendar, etc...) do.
A: Another tool that I use is PopClip
The application can transform selected text to UPPERCASE or even Proper Case or lowercase. There are several settings for search and other context relevant actions.
I am not affiliated with the developer.
This is a sample based editing this answer...
A: I had the same struggle so I create a one button app that solves this problem. It looks like this:
You'll find the Lowly app here :)
A: WordService will solve your problem. It's a free app from Devon Technologies that provides system-wide Services that do various text manipulations, including changing case.

Q: Is there a maximum number of remote connections that can be setup on mac mini? We have a mac mini running OSx 10.9.4 with 2.3 GHz Intel Core i7 and 8 GB. We use this as a "server" so people within the company can remotely place files that need to be uploaded onto our DAM system. We are now getting a message that says "No more connections can be made to this remote computer at this time because there are already as many connections as the computer can accept". Can you tell me if the number of connections can be changed or is there a set limit? Thanks in advance.
A: Not sure if it will help, but I would update 10.9.4 to 10.9.5 as I found 10.9.4 to have a few issues on the servers and Mac I service for clients.
Note: I can't think of any compatibility issues that would be an issues with that update, but assess the software used before you update of course.

Q: How to enable “middle” click of Apple's Magic Mouse? Recently I bought a Magic Mouse from Apple & I want to enable the middle click to use it in some apps like Chrome, Safari etc.
The native configuration include only left and right click, but is there any way to enable the middle click?
Thanks in advance.
A: MagicPrefs seems like the only solution currently available to enable a third button on a Magic Mouse.
From their website:
MagicPrefs is a free application for OS X which aims to improve the
functionality and configuration options of the Apple Magic Mouse,
Magic Trackpad and the MacBook glass trackpad.
It features the ability to bind a variable number of finger clicks,
taps, swipes, pinch and other gestures to functions like Middle Click,
Hold Down Both Mouse Buttons, Spaces, Expose, Dashboard, Recent
Applications, Tweet, Read Tweets, Google Reader etc.

Q: How do I get Finder to remember the size and location of the window? Why doesn't Finder remember the damn window size and location? I keep reading crap about holding down Option key while dragging but that doesn't work. It just reverts back to its microscopic size the next time i open it. It's useless and very tedious and it really aggravates me.
How do I make this thing thing stay the way I want it to? I don't mind playing around with system stuff or running scripts - so long as I only have to do it once only.
Any help will be much appreciated!
A: Actually there is a simple way to do that.
First you have to open new finder windows (not in Tabs).
Before you click on a new finder window hold the cmd key (not the Option key).
Now you can resize that window or move it around and it will remember that next time you open it.

A: I've found for windows that have shortcuts, e.g. cmd-shift-h, cmd-shift-c, cmd-shift-u, etc. or any other folder in the Go menu that you can set the size and position by:
*
*Close all windows
*Open the window you want and set it's size and position
*Close the window
Now each time you use the shortcut the window will be to what you set.
A: There's now a specific solution to Finder's lack of ability to remember its size and position. What's more, it seems to have been inspired by this exact question.
FinderFix Gives extra powers to your Finder windows!
If after all those years of using your Mac you are still fighting with
Finder to get it to behave as you wish, look no further, FinderFix
will get it to open every new window in the exact same position and
size you want it to.
I tried it, and it works as advertised. It also comes with some of the essential features of TotalFinder such as the option to open all windows in tabbed mode or activating Cut & Paste with Cmd+X / Cmd+V, without compromising the System Integrity Protection (SIP).

Q: Permanently enabling volume control for audio interface that doesn't support it I use an audio interface (namely a Roland Edirol UA-5, but that doesn't matter) which does not support volume control. I can only control the volume with the physical volume dial on the audio interface.
Now, by combining two freewares from RogueAmoeba, Soundflower and LineIn, I am able to enable volume control on any audio interface by:
*
*Selecting Soundflower as my primary audio interface
*Routing Soundflower to my Edirol UA-5 with LineIn
Thus enabling my native volume to control my audio interface.
This is my question now: is there a native modification I could make to OSX (a flag somewhere, a special kext) that could make this process easier?

Q: iMovie titles line spacing Is it possible to adjust the line spacing on title screens (specifially: scrolling credits) in iMovie 10?
I can find some references on how to do it in previous versions of iMovie (see e.g. font panel here) but I can't seem to find the right setting in iMovie 10. The fonts window doesn't show the spacing control, even when resized.
A: I found that I could put the text into another editing application (I used TextEdit) and adjust the line spacing there and it remained when I pasted into the title. Presto magic-o!

A: I found that I could put the text into another editing application (I used TextEdit) and adjust the line spacing there and it remained when I pasted into the title. Presto magic-o!
A: I was struggling with this yesterday, and happened upon this link, which explains how to make it do what you want (at least, it worked for me :) )
http://macmost.com/creating-professional-end-credits-in-imovie.html
edit:
The technique described at that link is simple:
*
*Add a "scrolling credits" title thingy to your video
*Select all the text in in and copy to the clipboard (use cmd-a, cmd-c, for example)
*Open a new RTF document in the "TextEdit" application
*Paste the selected text into the new document
*Open the "Page Setup..." dialog from the "File" menu
*Select "Manage Custom Sizes..." from the "Paper Sizes" drop-down
*Make the paper size 24" wide by 11" high
*Edit the formatting and content of the document to whatever you want it to look like in your movie
*When done with that, select everything in the document, and copy to the clipboard
*Switch back to iMovie, select the "scrolling credits" clip you added earlier, and select all the text in the clip again.
*Paste the text from your clipboard over the selected credits text
*Except to adjust the length of the credits clip, DON'T TOUCH IT ANY MORE, or iMovie will (probably) mess up the formatting!
If you need to make changes to the text or formatting, go back to the TextEdit, document and edit that, then copy-paste back over the text in the credits clip in iMovie again. Lather, rinse, repeat until you get what you want.
Upon typing it all out, I realize that some of these steps may be superfluous but IWFM, IANA iMovie Expert, YMMV, ROFLWTFBBQ and all that. You probably don't have to bother with copying the original credits text into the RTF document - you can probably get away with simply typing them into a new empty doc, formatting, then copy-pasting over the original text in iMovie. Also, I don't know if changing the page size is necessary, or if the 24"x11" measurement has any particular significance...
Feel free to experiment and suggest edits or improvements to this answer. :)
@grgarside - thanks for the reminder to fill out the answer!

Q: sshd: Service exited with abnormal code: 255 Every SSH connection exits with an abnormal code.
For example
ssh [email protected] true
results in
Feb 11 10:16:47 mac-mini com.apple.xpc.launchd[1]: (com.openssh.sshd.163F2BE0-40C6-4B17-AB4E-5A0A07A524DE): Service instances do not support events yet.

Why is sshd exiting with a non zero return value (i.e., 225)?
A: I was running into this issue because of the default "Allow ssh access only to admin" setting, but wanted a command-line only solution.
I changed it by adding the user to the admin (and wheel for good measure) group:
sudo dscl localhost -append /Local/Default/Groups/admin GroupMembership $USER
sudo dscl localhost -append /Local/Default/Groups/wheel GroupMembership $USER

A: In recent macOS versions, the rotten fruit geniuses have restricted SSH access to admin users only. I was having this 'service exited with abnormal code' issue and I fixed it by Preferences -> Sharing -> Remote Login: On and 'Allow Access to': All Users (or the users/groups you want). You must be an admin to do that (you must be able to unlock the locker icon on the bottom left).
Two hours wasted, damn idiots...
A: I've seen this on a number of Macs lately. In all instances I've traced it to people knocking on the door, i.e., dialing port 22 and trying to get in. I had to change my external routers to port map 22 to a different port. They haven't found that one yet but I figure I'm only one port scan away from having to do something more drastic.
A: Make sure that your user corti has Remote Login feature enabled in Sharing Preferences.

Q: How to quickly know the dimensions of an image? I am looking for a nice and quick way to display the dimension of an image from OS X 10.9. Presently, I have to open the image in photoshop and then enter a menu to know the dimensions. The process is too slow when I have to browse through dozens of pictures and get those with dimensions big enough.
A: Get Info
You can get the resolution from Get Info menu. Select the image and press ⌘ CMD+i, or right click on that image and choose Get Info menu item.
Image from cultofmac.com
QuickLook plugin
If you weren't on 10.9 - this lightweight QuickLook plugin called qlImageSize which can be found on GitHub lets You check the image size on the quicklook window title. I don't have any that work on 10.9, but perhaps this will help you if you wish to search for a similar one or report 10.9 compatibility to that project for improvement.

A: From the command line, if you have Imagemagick 7.x installed (for example through homebrew or the installer), then you can use the following command to quickly display the resolution and similar information of multiple images in a directory (if you are still on the older Imagemagick 6.x, then the command is just identify instead of magick identify):
$ ls
a.jpg
b.png
c.png
$ magick identify *
a.jpg JPEG 550x309 550x309+0+0 8-bit sRGB 29.4KB 0.000u 0:00.000
b.png[1] PNG 1912x827 1912x827+0+0 8-bit sRGB 2.17MB 0.000u 0:00.009
c.png[2] PNG 311x262 311x262+0+0 8-bit sRGB 185KB 0.000u 0:00.000
Or if you only need the resolution:
$ magick identify * | cut -d' ' -f1,3
a.jpg 550x309
b.png[1] 1912x827
c.png[2] 311x262
Specifying -verbose will give you even more quick information which you can grep in case it's needed:

A: Not the smoothest, but the following workflow might get you out of trouble:
on run {input, parameters}
set filename to POSIX path of input
set h to do shell script "sips -g pixelHeight '" & filename & "' | tail -n1 | cut -d' ' -f4"
set w to do shell script "sips -g pixelWidth '" & filename & "' | tail -n1 | cut -d' ' -f4"
display alert (h as text) & " x " & (w as text)
return input
end run
You can also add a keyboard shortcut if you like:
… but the biggest problem is thinking of a good shortcut that isn’t already being used by something else.
A: If you have Photoshop, you probably also have Bridge. If you have Bridge, you can point it at a folder of images (with the ability to have it display the images in sub-folders of that folder) and then sort the images by a number of ways including by the dimensions of the image in pixels. Clicking on an individual image will show more information including the pixel dimensions. You can also choose the "View -> As Details command" and the list of images will include information that includes the pixel dimensions.

Q: No "Generate an app-specific password" section in my Apple ID I can't reproduce what is described in this Cnet article.
Here is my screenshot.
A: You need activate "Two-Step Verification" in order to "generate an app specific password" as shown in http://www.cnet.com/how-to/how-to-create-app-specific-passwords-for-icloud/
For those unfamiliar, app-specific passwords are used when an app or service you're attempting to sign into doesn't support two-step verification. Instead of forcing you to enter your account password, you create a single-use app-specific password, eliminating any potential for your account to be compromised.
And as shown in your screenshot "Two-Step Verification" is not enabled...

Q: How to uninstall individual Office365 components in Mac OS X There is [un]surprisingly little or no useful information I could find on uninstalling individual components when you install the full Office365 suite on your Mac.
All I want is Word and Excel, and want to get rid of the rest. Shall I just send the apps to the Bin? Thanks
A: Just trash the apps you no longer want.
Office 2011 no longer uses a dedicated uninstaller. See this Microsoft support document for more information.

Q: Safari 8.0.2 is adding www to certain domains - how can I disable this? When I type or paste a domain into the Safari URL bar that starts with http://local it always adds www.
I'm a web developer and have setup dozens of sites with the local. prefix but now can't test them in Safari.
Does anyone know how to disable this? (without changing my naming convention, of course)

Q: How to rescind permission granted under Family Sharing/Ask to Buy Using Family Sharing, I granted approval for my daughter to install an app. I now wish to rescind permission for that app, so that if she wants to download it again, it will ask me for permission again. (ie. I want to put the state back to how it was before I granted permission). How do I do this? Is there a way to manage the app approvals individually?

Q: Osascript Compile Application Is there a way to compile an an applescript from the command line similar to the following.
A: The answer to this is surprisingly simple:
$ osacompile -o output.app input.applescript
This works for both plaintext .applescript files and the .scpt files that Script Editor makes.
You can use a pipe too, e.g. if you have the script on your clipboard:
$ pbpaste | osacompile -o output.app
Or -e, like the osascript command can use:
$ osacompile -o output.app -e "$(pbpaste)"
You can also use JavaScript with the -l flag:
$ osacompile -o output.app -l JavaScript -e 'app = Application.currentApplication();' -e 'app.includeStandardAdditions = true;' -e 'app.displayDialog("hi");'

Q: Boot Camp only detects two out of three monitors Setup: brand new MacBook Pro with Retina Display plus two 27" Thunderbolt displays. So, three displays in total, which works like a charm in OS X.
Unfortunately, when boot-camping into Windows 8.1, it detects only two of these: the one on the MacBook and the (first) external one:
Note that interestingly, the devices plugged into the secondary external monitor still work - e.g. all three cameras are there.
Any ideas?
A: From http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204154
*
*How many Apple Thunderbolt Displays can I use with a Mac in Windows 7 or 8 with Boot Camp?
*Most Mac computers can support one Thunderbolt display using Windows. The iMac (Retina 5K, 27-inch, Late 2014) and Mac mini (Late 2014) can support two, and the Mac Pro (Late 2013) can support up to six.

Q: OSX Mac Filevault2 prevent shutdown on login screen I recently encrypted my 2014 Mac, OS X 10.9.5, using FileVault2. I noticed that the computer shuts after 5 minutes if there is no activity on the login screen. I believe this is a feature of FileVault2, but I am unable to confirm through Google searches.
If this is the case, is there a setting to prevent shutdown?

Q: Making directories list first in terminal with `ls` Is it possible to make the default of Terminal such that when I use the ls command it lists the directories first and then the files?
I figured out that this can be done by using coreutils and the command gls --group-directories-first, but I was wondering if there was an OS X native way to do this without coreutils.
A: The short answer is no. The ls shipped with OSX is not the GNU ls therefore it doesn't have the same options.
But you can get a similar result with :
ls -al | sort -k1 -r
Ps: I agree that it's far from perfect :)

Q: How to create the app icon on current screen? When installing a new app, and even though i have space left in my home screen, why does it create a new screen and create the icon there?
Is there any configuration to, when installing a new app, the icon be created to fill the space in already created screens?
A: New apps are never installed to the first screen. Instead, they are put in the first open space available from the second screen onward. If there is no open space for the app, then a new screen is created.
This does seem like something that could easily be turned into a preference; and, there may be a jailbreak setting already. But there is currently no way to override this behavior that is supported by Apple.
