Q: Anyone else having problems joining domain in OS X 10.10.2? I am (have confirmed I have rights since I can remove and join a Windows 7 box) having problems joining a Yosemite OS X 10.10.2 to the domain--I receive a "authentication server encountered an error while attempting the requested operation (5202)" no matter if I use the GUI to join the "Network Account Server" or use DSCONFIGAD command-line command at Terminal.
I was able to join two Mac Minis on 10.10.x a few months ago but I am having problems with a new-out-of-the-box Mini right now. Even tried erasing and reinstalling from a OS X 10.10.2 thumb drive.
A: Alright, this was purely my own fault. After turning on Directory Services logging and discovering that no attempt was made it turned out to be the Ethernet jack the Mac was plugged into was going into another non-production lab environment. 5502 isn't super helpful by itself!

A: Our issue turned out to be that the time on the computer was different from our domain controller. Once we set the time correctly we were able to join without a problem.
A: We had this error:
dsconfigad: Authentication server encountered an error while attempting the requested operation. (5202)
and in the /var/log/opendirectoryd.log

joining a machine running 10.11.x that had been unbound from the domain. Nothing would allow it to bind - using either OpenDirectory or dsconfigad
The fix was deleting the following:
/var/db/dslocal/nodes/Default/config/
/etc/krb5.keytab
/Library/Preferences/OpenDirectory
This issue affected two machines which have now been able to successfully bind.

Q: Is there anyway to turn off the dreaded slot machine date picker in iOS? The date picker in iOS is awful. Every time I put something on my calendar it's a "game of chance" if I will notified about it. Combine that with a touch screen and you have a recipe for scheduling disaster.
I would prefer to select a date from a calendar, or heaven-forbid, type it in using the keyboard!!!!!
Is there any way to turn this thing off?
A: Simple answer: Nope.
Sorry to disappoint you. I also dislike this new picker. It is found all over the new UI and it is just terrible. Whoever decided this was good design missed the boat.

Find and Open the Folder Where Mac OS X Mail Stores Mail. To open the folder where Mac OS X Mail keeps your messages:
*
*Open a Finder window.
*Select Go | Go to Folder… from the menu.
*Type ~/Library/Mail/V2
Delete all the folders and files in this directory

Q: How to change Home / End behaviour on Yosemite I want to change the Home and End keys to work like Windows/Linux.
CHANGE:
Home to Command-Left Arrow. // Beginning of the line
End to Cmd-Right Arrow. // End of the line
I tried using Karabiner app known as KeyRemap4MacBook. But it doesn't work on Yosemite while I write code on editors like Sublime Text, PhpStorm, WebStorm, etc.
I also did create a DefaultKeyBindings.dict file (with proper settings) inside ~/Library/KeyBindings/ and OSX/Library/KeyBindings/.
So, is there a way to remap the Home and End keys for glabally on my mac. I could use Terminal command too.
I don't want an app for that.
A: You might have to change the custom settings in the Terminal app. But it's quite straight forward. See here: http://fdiv.net/2007/05/12/keybindings-in-macosx-terminal-app
I also changed it for my Sublime Text 2:
{ "keys": ["home"], "command": "move_to", "args": {"to": "bol"} },
{ "keys": ["end"], "command": "move_to", "args": {"to": "eol"} },

{ "keys": ["end"], "command": "move_to", "args": {"to": "eol"} },
A: It is possible to achieve this behavior using Karabiner (I know you tried already, but please read). I use it extensively on Yosemite (10.10.2)
Optional (can't remember if is 100% necessary), but follow just in case:
*
*Add Karabiner_AXNotifier.app on System Preferences > Security & Privacy > Privacy (tab or horizontal menu on top) > Accessibility (left column)
Then:
*
*Open Karabiner preferences and go to the ‘Misc & Uninstall’ tab.
*Click the ‘Open private.xml’ button (under ‘Custom Settings’)
*Add this content to private.xml (create the file if doesn't exist):
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<root>
<item>
<name>Fix Home/End</name>
<appendix>(Home/End move to beg/end of line, Ctl/Cmd+Home/End move to beg/end of page)</appendix>

<autogen>__KeyToKey__ FROMKEYCODE_END, KeyCode::CURSOR_RIGHT, ModifierFlag::COMMAND_L</autogen>
</item>
</root>
*Return to the ‘Change Key’ tab.
*Click the ‘Reload XML’ button.
*Search for ‘System-wide’ in the search box and check the ‘Fix Home/End System-wide’ (I named it this way to make it easier for you to activate)
*Try the Home/End keys.

Q: How to uninstall Java 1.8 under OS X 10.10 Yosemite? There are a few answers on old questions about the same issue under Lion / Mountain Lion. Now with Java 1.8 and OS X 10.10 I wonder if anything has changed? Would be great to have exact removal steps.
It really is asked too much, for Oracle to provide a proper uninstaller?
A: An uninstaller might be nice, but you literally have to drag one file to the trash. Doesn't seem too difficult.
Per Java.com:
To uninstall Java, you must have Administrator privileges.
*
*Click on the Finder icon located in your dock
*Click on Applications tab on the sidebar
*In the Search box enter JavaAppletPlugin.plugin
*This will find the JavaAppletPlugin.plugin file
*Right click on JavaAppletPlugin.plugin and select Move to Trash

A: http://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/technotes/guides/install/mac_jre.html#A1096890 says
To uninstall the JRE, you must have Administrator privileges and execute the remove commands either as root or by using the sudo(8) tool.
Remove one directory and one file (a symlink), as follows:
*
*Navigate to /Library/Internet Plug-Ins and remove the JavaAppletPlugin.plugin directory.
*Navigate to /Library/PreferencePanes and remove JavaControlPanel.prefpane.
Do not attempt to uninstall Java by removing the Java tools from /usr/bin. This directory is part of the system software and any changes will be reset by Apple the next time you perform an update of the OS
Done that. Looking good. I still think it's bad intentions behind not offering an uninstaller. Glad this is off my system.
Commands for the ‘Terminal’ly-inclined:
sudo rm -rf /Library/Internet\ Plug-Ins/JavaAppletPlugin.plugin/
sudo rm -rf /Library/PreferencePanes/JavaControlPanel.prefPane
A: Just run these commands
sudo rm -rf /Library/Java/*
sudo rm -rf /Library/PreferencePanes/Java*
sudo rm -rf /Library/Internet\ Plug-Ins/Java*

Q: How often can a user rate an iOS app? There are 2 rating dialogs in the AppStore, one for the current version and one for all versions. Does that mean that a user can rate every update of an iOS app?
A: Yes. Current version ratings are reset after each update. Some apps even say in the update text "Please rate us each time we release an update".
If you previously rated an app, and a new version is released, if you go to rate it again your prior rating (and review text) will be pre-entered, but you can change it.
So, if you religiously review the app each time it gets updated, you could have "reviewed" each version, yet it's unlikely that your star votes add up and your new review seems to replace any/all older ones each time you update it.

Q: Gnuplot with xterm in yosemite I installed gnuplot on my yosemite system using brew. When I try to plot cos(x) the way I would on ubuntu, I get this:
gnuplot> plot cos(x)
WARNING: Plotting with an 'unknown' terminal.
No output will be generated. Please select a terminal with 'set terminal'.
I also notice that when gnuplot loads, it says Terminal type set to 'unknown'. I would like to load the graphs in a new window, so I tried set terminal xterm, which seems to work at first glance, given the message Terminal type set to 'xterm'. But then I try plotting again, and it produces garbage:
How do I get the terminal to function correctly, as it does on ubuntu?
A: Don't know if you resolved, but seems strange to me you want to plot in the xterm terminal...
Perhaps you want to display in the x11 terminal, you'll then find this discussion useful: Can't plot with gnuplot on my Mac

Q: Yosemite upgrade–continuous slow screen redraw I recently upgraded to Yosemite, and now my laptop has the following issue:
Each and every window (the AppStore, Chrome, etc) seems to be continuously and very slowly redrawn, to the point where I can see the screen go white, and then slowly be drawn back in from the bottom to the top.
The only time when I every encountered a similar issue was when, on Ubuntu, I upgraded and lost support for my graphics card. However, I have no idea how to navigate this issue on OS X.
A: I had this problem and I solved it by resetting the PRAM/NVRAM, which is done via:
*
*Shut down your Mac.
*Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command (⌘), Option, P, and R.
*Turn on your Mac.
*Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys immediately after you hear the startup sound.
*Hold these keys until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for a second time.
*Release the keys.

Q: How to write a Q with a dot above, for differential notation? I want to write a Q with a dot above. How can I make it happen? I need it in omni graffle.
thanks.
A: Q̇ can be made a part of keyboard input using the replace.
Then when you type your chosen word it will be replaced with the Q̇.
Here is a sample: I have chosen to call it qdot (genius :)
You can find another Q̇ on the web and use it (Paste) instead.
So now when ever you type "qdot" it will be replaced with your symbol. (works in most applications)

Q: Yosemite Messages Screen Sharing Disabled I'm trying to screen share on from within the Messages app with another iMessage user. We're both on Yosemite, and we've successfully used Messages's new screen sharing feature many times. One day, we discovered the screen share button was disabled. It has never come back.
Screen sharing is enabled in the Video menu, and we are both on the most recent version of Yosemite. I'm not sure how to look for answers without even an error message to go on.
A: I just used Yosemite's screen sharing via Messages.
Getting it to work on both sides required me to enable back to my mac in System Settings under iCloud. After restarting the Messages app on both sides those two rectangles became active and screen sharing worked.

A: You should also ask your remote person to enable Screen Sharing via the checkbox in their Video menu.

Stupid and obvious, I know, but I just wasted an hour helping someone before I remembered that that option existed.

Q: In Excel, how do you delete line breaks? In Excel, how do you delete line breaks globally? It's totally messing up my text-to-column I need to do.
A: A more Excel way:
As line-break is CHAR(13), you could try something like this (assuming your text is in A1 and you'll put edited text in B1)
B1: =SUBSTITUTE(A1,CHAR(13),"")
or
B1: =SUBSTITUTE(A1,CHAR(13)," ")

A: Q: In Excel, how do you delete line breaks globally?
A: No, Mac's Find & Replace doen't work.
I will walk you thru my version of a fix.
There are lots of website discussions, but, there doesn't seem to be any resolution,
Using just the Find & Replace.
Example from:
*
*Open your Excel file
*Highlight all cells
*
*
*Select the top left corner Above Row 1 & Left of Column A
*Or Select a cell and do ctrl+a at least twice
*Auto Format the Column Heights by Double Left Clicking inbetween row 1 & 2 (any row will work)
*
*Also, Make sure to take off the Wrap Text as well; As this can be misleading if it is on.
*Should change appearance from this:
*
*
To this:
*Create a New column to the right of the column
*Then Type in this formula =TRIM(SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE(A2,CHAR(13),""),CHAR(10)," - "))
*Press Enter
*
*You should now see your cell formatted cleanly
*Highlight the newly formatted cell
*Double Left Click on the Bottom Right Hand of the Cell to format the whole column with the formula.
*Now Highlight the entire new column with the formula
*
*Right Click and Copy this column
*Then Right Click on the original column
*
*Select Paste Special
*
*Select Values radio button & Click ctrl
*
*
*Make sure to Delete the created columns with the formula.
That should at least be a simple workaround.
Your end result should allow you to resize your column heights again down to the 16px default column height.
Formula Reference: https://www.ablebits.com/office-addins-blog/2013/12/03/remove-carriage-returns-excel/
Note: The Manual Find and replace in native Excel doesn't work using keyboard shortcuts
A: Easiest Way to Remove all line breaks.
Copy the target column containing all the line breaks in to blank Word document (Works for rows and entire tables)
In Word
ctrl+F (Command+F for Mac) - To Find and Replace
Enter ^p in the find field
"^p" is the character symbol for line paragraph/break
Key Combo SHIFT + 6 Then p
Enter desired character in replace field (Likely one space)
Click replace all.
Done - Copy column from word back into excel.
A: Here's a simple, non-Excel way to get rid of all the line breaks in your text:
Paste the data into TextEdit, put your cursor at the end of any line, then hold shift and press the right arrow once. This will select the invisible new line character. Now hit command + c to copy this invisible character, and then got to
Edit > Find > Find and Replace...
and search for your copied character and replace it everywhere with just a space.
Now you shouldn't have any more line breaks in your text. :)
(On a side note, you don't need to replace with a space you can replace it with another symbol if that may be more convenient for what you're doing in Excel.)
A: A simple technique which also works in Mac versions of Excel is to use the formula "clean". This removes all non-printing characters including line breaks.
A: I had this issue for years and could not find the line break equivalent in Mac Excel, and now what I do is:
1.I insert an empty column next to the column with line break issue then add the following command =clean(Cell number)
*cell number will be the first row of the column with line break issue.
2.Then grab the bottom right corner and drag the function through all rows.
3.When finished dragging, copy the new column data and special paste it with values only in a new column, the new column is guaranteed to be without line breaks as the clean function gets read of all issues.
A: If there are only a few of them, select the cell, then click in the formula box. This makes the formula box act like a text field, so the arrow keys and delete and other editing functions will work. If there are many, use the replace method other posted.

Q: How do you delete Dropbox from OS X Yosemite? So this seems like an obvious one, but after some searching around the web and Dropbox's bad help section I've really come unstuck with this.
I'm trying to delete the official Dropbox app from my Macbook and everytime I try and move the .app package to the trash by right clicking it says that it can't because the app is being used elsewhere.
Is there anyway I can go about deleting it? I've checked Force Quit and it's not there, so I'm curious how you get rid of this thing.
A: Check Activity Monitor to see if there are any Dropbox processes running. If there are, kill them, then you should be able to delete the Dropbox app. If you have used Dropbox at all, then remember that any files you synched will still be on your MacBook's HD in /Users/[your_username]/Dropbox.

Q: Restore Applications folder to dock I have inadvertently deleted my Applications folder from the dock. I tried accessing the Applications icon in a Finder window and then I tried to drag it down to the dock. I did so to the lower left hand of the screen, but the Applications icon went away with a cloud image. Now, I have no access to my Applications.

A: Open up a new finder window. And the hold down the keys cmd + shift and press the g

A: I'm assuming you dragged this icon, from the Sidebar of a Finder window…
That, as you discovered, will remove it from the Sidebar rather than add it to the Dock.
You can get that back from Finder Menu > Prefs > Sidebar.
Re-check the Applications icon
To then add Applications to the dock, start by clicking the sidebar element you just restored, in any Finder window.
Then drag the icon from the top of that window down into the right side of the Dock [I've moved my window right to the bottom of the screen to get these pics]
A: Open Finder and go to Finder → Preferences → Sidebar and select Applications. This puts the Applications folder back in the sidebar.
To add the Applications stack back on your Dock, drag the Applications folder itself (not from the sidebar) to the right-half of your Dock.

Q: Email photos in full resolution from iPhone 6 running iOS 8 iPhone 6 running iOS 8.1.3. How do I email photos with full resolution. I go to Photos, select some photos, pick Mail, then compose the email. No where in "New Message" does it give me an option to pick the resolution. Once I press send the email is sent with the photos at 1280x960.
Follow-up - For some reason the photo was less than 500KB thus the email app didn't offer an option to resize it.
A: IOS 8.x does not prompt for resolution options when using the front facing camera, only the rear facing camera. The front facing camera will usually max out resolution with a file size in KB.

Q: Can I use the same time machine backup for two macs? Is it possible to use the same time machine backup for two different machines? Is it possible to take the backup of my laptop and push it to my desktop? If I make changes to one machine do the changes go to the other machine?
I know I can restart and hold CMD + R and select a time machine. So far though the time machine backup is not recognized. I ended up with two sparse files. So all the programs and stuff on one mac are not installed on the second mac.
A: In a nutshell: No, you can't.
A backup is not a synchronisation solution so there is always a 1:1 relationship between your main drive(s) and your backup. You can use Time Machine to backup multiple computers to the same network drive, but the backups will always end up as separate bundles.
To transfer applications/data from one Mac to another once, have a look at Migration Assistant (/Applications/Utilities/Migration\ Assistant.app). To share data with ongoing updates from several machines, consider defining remote access/folder sharing on a master drive or look into rsync.

Q: Can I make tmux scroll from my trackpad? I want to set up iTerm2 to pass scroll events to tmux, so I can trivially enter (and exit) scrollback mode for whatever pane is active. Is this possible to do with iTerm2, or automation of some sort, or ...?
A: The mode is referred to as "copy mode" and as long as you're running tmux 1.5 or higher you can add:
setw -g mode-mouse on
to your ~/.tmux.conf file and tmux will automatically enter and exit copy mode when you use the scroll wheel on your mouse.
As a bonus, this option allows you to select the tmux pane with your mouse:
set -g mouse-select-pane on

Q: How to set default finder window size? How do I set the default size of my finder window to a size of my choice? Currently each time I open a finder window, it opens up in a very small size and I have to adjust it before I can start looking for my files. I'm running Yosemite.
A: Open a folder in list or cover flow view. Then press cmd+J. Now hold option key and press Return to default button at the bottom. New finder windows will be opened normally.
You can try deleting .DS_Store file in folders with false view.
You can also delete the normally hidden .DS_Store file with some utilities or with the terminal app and a command line removal - since Finder will recreate this file when it's missing, it's pretty safe to delete them.
rm .DS_Store
You need to get to the directory so you can type cd and then drag in the folder that needs clearing. (Navigate one folder up in path view or using the title bar of the finder window) and drag the folder in to the terminal window after you type cd and space

A: This works for me in MacOS Catalina, Monterey (in 2022) and Ventura (in 2023):
*
*Open a new Finder window, do not navigate to any folders yet;
*Resize the window to the size you want (however don't move the window to your desired location yet);
*To lock the location and size:
*start by pressing the Command ⌘ and Alt / Option keys together and drag the window to your desired location;
*release your mouse button first then release the Command ⌘ AND Alt / Option keys second;
*Close resized window;
*Any Finder windows opened after this will open at that size.
A: Open a finder window, hold down the option key and resize the window as you wish. Close all finder windows and next time you open a new one it will remember the size.
A: It is very easy to do this:
*
*Open a new Finder window.
*As you resize the window, hold the Command ⌘ (not Alt / Option) key. Close resized window.
*Then hold the Alt / Option key as you right click on Finder in the Dock and click Relaunch. Another way to implement this step is to press Command ⌘ + Alt ⌥ / Esc, select Finder from the menu to pop-up and click on Relaunch.
*Any Finder windows opened after this will open at that size.
Note: This does not work for windows opened from folders on the desktop.
A: Previous solutions seem to have stopped working with recent macOS releases. Yesterday, I answered a very similar question related to both size and position of Finder windows. I am reflecting it here for completeness.
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 Give 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 of opening all windows in tabbed mode or activating Cut & Paste with Cmd+X / Cmd+V, without compromising the System Integrity Protection (SIP).

However! Once I hit the install button, I get this error: "the data contains an exchange 2010 SPP1 or older account". I can import the emails.. but I can't get the exchange server to sync. Is the company that supplies my exchange behind on their updates?

Q: iPhone 4S 64GB not charging unless switched off My iPhone is simply not charging unless I switch it off while it is already plugged in. I suspect it to be a software problem, as when its off it charges. Windows does not seem to recognize the device but still charges when it is switched off.
I have tried cables that work on my friends phones and original cables, still no luck.
Any ideas?
A: Users complained that iPhone won't charge when it turns on. This is really strange. You can check by following methods:
*
*Check the USB cable
*Check the charging accessories
*Clean the charging port
*Hard-reset your iPhone
*Using iPhone Recovery Mode, restore the iPhone to factory settings

Q: Is there a way to make Siri listen properly? When writing a message using Siri, the software will stop listening for the message at the slightest pause.
For example:
Me: Send a message to John
Siri: Okay, what would you like it to say?
Me: Hi John...
Siri: Okay, your message to John is "Hi John", would you like me to send it?
And this continued every time I left a pause to think what I wanted to say next.
Really annoying. Especially when driving or cycling.
Is there a way to make Siri wait and listen properly?
A: Just continue to hold down the home button (or Siri microphone button) after Siri has been activated and you have started talking.
If you do this, Siri will wait until you let go of the button to process what you have said, so you can make pauses to your heart's content without triggering the "I've stopped" action.

If you do this, Siri will wait until you let go of the button to process what you have said, so you can make pauses to your heart's content without triggering the "I've stopped" action.
A: No - Siri currently has no way to program the pauses to detect when you are done speaking. You could have siri open notes and then use the dictation feature to dictate your thoughts with pauses using the keyboard command and then edit them and then finally push that composed thought to messages, but it defeats the ease of using siri to automate the sending of your message.
Without knowing your context (Are you driving and totally hands free? Are you without function of arms/fingers either temporarily or permanently?) it's hard to see if there's a solution to your end goal, but your short term solution is to change the way you interact with Siri to leave less pause. Perhaps just skipping the formality of "Hi John" and just blurt out what you need John to know/do.
Once you've trained yourself to get the main message sent you can work on tacking on "comma thanks so much exclamation point" (or period) or whatever you wish to humanize the main point that's about to be sent.
A: As far as I'm aware there is no way to get around this if you want to continue to use Siri from the lock screen or by holding the home button.
Your only solution at the minute is either to make sure you say everything without pausing or enable and use the dictation feature on the keyboard - It listens indefinitely until you tap on 'done' so you will be able to pause to think without getting cut off.
A: Or u could just go 2 the voice setting and change it 2 never expire, cuz that’s what I did.

Q: How to remove icons showing question marks of deleted apps from Launchpad? I updated GIMP from MacUpdates since then I got two Gimp icons in Launchpad. I also deleted the Gimp.app from finder but now i get this question mark on the gimp icon in Launchpad. How to completely remove both of these icons?
What is the cleanup step, here?
A: In my occasion all the shortcuts had the question marks on it, so I didn't have a use of CTRL+Click (and it didn't work). However as @user310633 mentioned, the Kill command as below worked.
defaults write com.apple.dock ResetLaunchPad -bool true && killall Dock

A: [Worked] In Yosemite open Launchpad, hold down control key and click on icon you wish to remove. A question mark should appear over the icon. Just drag and drop to Trash.
A: Worked exactly as indicated above. Hold control and click the offending icon and it will appear with a ? over it, drag it to the trash bin and it's gone. Works Even with problem icons that do not show up in finder, had ostensibly been deleted by appcleaner and did not show an X when jiggling mode entered.
A: If the unwanted icons stuck in Mac Launchpad come from an app installed and uninstalled on a "Windows" virtual machine, one way to remove them is to click Finder on the Mac screen, and then select Macintosh HD > Applications folder, and then trash the files with those unwanted icons.
A: on mac 11 When i long click on a app (like on the iPhone) it appear an mini x on the app when i clicked the app it ask me if i want to delete the app

Q: Device name in Mac Terminal is a random person's iPhone? I was in terminal today and noticed this:
Jeremys-Iphone: I have no idea who Jeremy is or have a friend named Jeremy.
Do you know what this means, and how this might have happened?
Thanks!
A: Check your $PS environment variable for setting prompt:
echo $PS1
It might be
"\h:\W \u$ "
If so, your computer name is changed and you can edit it. If not, change it to that form by editing ~/.bash_profile
Also check that you are really on your Mac and not on an iPhone by this command:
uname -m
It should be x86_64 and not iPhone...

Q: What's the difference between Apple Watch and Apple Watch Sport? Following the pricing announcements on Apple Watch, it seems that the "Watch" edition is priced 200$ above "Watch Sport" ($349 vs $549 for the 38mm model).
I can read the spec sheet but apart from different band options and another type of front glass and don't understand the differences.
A: The Watch Sport is made of aluminium and glass and plastic composite backing.
The Watch is made of stainless steel, sapphire and ceramic backing.
The bands are different but those are priced as accessories and the materials there are pretty straightforward to deduce.

The bands are different but those are priced as accessories and the materials there are pretty straightforward to deduce.
A: In addition to the aluminium vs stainless steel case, The Apple Watch has a Sapphire crystal cover as opposed to the Apple Watch Sport's "Ion-X Glass" cover.
In addition, there are more options for bands that can be used with Apple Watch. Specifically, while the Apple Watch Sport is sold just with the Sport band, the Apple Watch is available with the Sport Band, the Classic Buckle, the Milanese Loop, the Leather Loop, the Link Bracelet, and the Modern Buckle.
However, you can purchase any band to go with your watch as every band will fit every watch. In effect, you can get the Apple Watch Sport model and then purchase the Milanese Loop to wear with it. Changing bands on all models is easy.

Q: How do I delete a specific cookie by name in Safari? I opted into an experimental new Stack feature (coming soonish!), and now I want to opt back out. To do so, all I have to do is delete a cookie called purple. It should be easy. Just go to Safari preferences, privacy, cookie details, and...
...hum.
I don't want to delete all of my Stack Exchange cookies, just the one I know the name of. Can I delete this cookie through Safari? If not, where do Safari's cookies live, so I can delete it by hand?
A: You can still see individual cookies using Safari in developer mode. Go to "Safari-->Preferences-->Advanced" and enable "Show Develop menu in menu bar". Navigate to the webpage that holds the cookie you are looking to remove. Go to Develop in the menu bar and "Show web inspector". On the left hand side there will be a folder "Cookies" that holds the data from that site. You can right click them and delete certain ones.

Q: iPhone development on the new MacBook I want to do iPhone development with the MacBook. The MacBook only has one USB-C port, so I may need a USB-C adaptor to load my apps on my iPhone.
Is the USB-C adaptor necessary to load freshly compiled iOS apps on my iPhone?
A: You really need to make up your mind whether you want the latest and shiniest product, or whether you want a good development machine. Once you use Interface Builder, a 15" MBP is the smallest that is usable without an external monitor. And once you use an external monitor, you are connected to a desk, and the portability doesn't help much.
The new MacBook is targeted at certain use cases. Serious software development isn't one of them.

And once you use an external monitor, you are connected to a desk, and the portability doesn't help much.
The new MacBook is targeted at certain use cases. Serious software development isn't one of them.
A:
I want to do iPhone development with the MacBook.
No, you don't. Really, you don't.
That model is meant for users who value portability over everything else. Developing an iOS application (or, really, any other software product) requires many, many hours at the keyboard. You need screen space for editors, the editor's toolbars, the documentation you will refer to twice a minute, and the simulator to test the results of your labour. You don't do this during spare moments here and there.
iOS code also needs to be compiled - not a process for lightweight, energy-efficient systems. The MacBook isn't for video editing either, Apple has other models for this part of the market.
I do software development with a 27 inch desktop, and it's about the right size. I also have an Air for remote work, but it uses my desktop for the heavy lifting and content delivery. My work would take substantially longer on a 13 inch screen.
A: Developing on the new MacBook (Early 2015) isn't going to be any harder than using any recent portable:
*
*Use the simulator (this can be great at first, but you'll need to test on a real device later).
*Build an IPA and upload it through iTunes (works over wifi) or TestFlight (works over cellular too). Both options would be really slow, but they can work combined with the simulator. There's no debugger though.
*Use Apple's $19 adapter and add a USB hub if you need more than one device connected.
A: You will need the USB-C to USB Adapter for this:
The USB-C to USB Adapter lets you connect iOS devices and many of your standard USB accessories to a MacBook with USB-C port.
Plug the USB-C end of the adapter into the USB-C port on your MacBook, and then connect your flash drive, camera, or other standard USB device. You can also connect a USB cable to sync and charge your iPhone, iPad, or iPod.
A: If your iPhone is jailbroken, you can use this script found on the iPhone Dev Wiki to upload your application via SSH. You'll need to set up SSH key pairs, and add this script as a Run Script Build Phase.
#!/bin/sh
# Modify this to your device's IP address.
IP="192.168.1.109"
# Verify that the build is for iOS Device and not a Simulator.
if [[ "$NATIVE_ARCH" != "i386" && "$NATIVE_ARCH" != "x86_64" ]]; then
# Kill any running instances and remove the app folder.
ssh root@$IP "killall ${TARGETNAME}; rm -rf /Applications/${WRAPPER_NAME}"
# Self sign the build.
ldid -S $BUILT_PRODUCTS_DIR/${WRAPPER_NAME}/$TARGETNAME
# Copy it over.
scp -r $BUILT_PRODUCTS_DIR/${WRAPPER_NAME} root@$IP:/Applications/
ssh root@$IP "su -c uicache mobile"
# This part just creates create an OS X notification to let you know that the process is done.
# You can get terminal-notifier from https://github.com/alloy/terminal-notifier.
# You can remove this line if you want.
/Applications/terminal-notifier.app/Contents/MacOS/terminal-notifier -title "Build Complete" -message "${WRAPPER_NAME} installed on ${IP}"

A: I most definitely would not use the new MacBook for iOS development. The screen is too small, the hard disk is too small, the RAM is barely enough. And to add insult to injury, you have to buy a dongle in order to get access to more than one port. No thanks!
Get a refurb 13-inch or 15-inch MacBook Pro (perhaps with Retina display), max out the RAM (from a third party like Crucial or Kingston), and pair it with a 27-inch external monitor. That's a much better setup for what you want to do.

Q: Mac OS X doesn't recognize hard disk I replaced my CD drive with a Western Digital 750GB hard drive using the iFixit guide.
My Mac for some reason throws error on any interaction with the hard drive,
for example on disk utility when I tried to create 1 partition of FAT:
When I try to setup BootCamp I get this error:
I have successfully managed to erase and format the hard drive while booting up to GParted, but I want to install windows on it.
Do you have any suggestions? Ideas?
A: I recently ran into this issue as well. I originally suspected a damaged SATA cable, but swapping the SSD into the optical drive bay and the HD into the primary hard drive bay solved the issue for me.

A: I recently ran into this issue as well. I originally suspected a damaged SATA cable, but swapping the SSD into the optical drive bay and the HD into the primary hard drive bay solved the issue for me.
A: In the off chance it is not a hardware problem with the cable, try creating GUID partitioned disk (GPT) with no partitions. This can not be done using the Disk Utility alone. To do so, follow these instructions.
Open the Disk Utility. Highlight the disk and click on the Info button. Determine the Disk Identifier. In the example below, I used disk2.
Close the Disk Utility and open a Terminal window. Enter the following commands. If prompted for a password, enter your login password.
diskutil unmountDisk /dev/disk2
sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/disk2 count=40
sudo gpt destroy /dev/disk2
sudo gpt create /dev/disk2
Show below are my results.
Steelhead:~ davidanderson$ diskutil unmountDisk /dev/disk2
Unmount of all volumes on disk2 was successful
Steelhead:~ davidanderson$ sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/disk2 count=40
40+0 records in
40+0 records out
20480 bytes transferred in 0.021348 secs (959340 bytes/sec)
Steelhead:~ davidanderson$ sudo gpt destroy /dev/disk2
Steelhead:~ davidanderson$ sudo gpt create /dev/disk2
Steelhead:~ davidanderson$
If everything went well, open the Disk Utility and try to create and format a partition.
If successful, let me know if you need help installing Windows on this computer.
A: I like to do things a little differently and this involves separating the problem into two distinct parts - OS and Hardware.
Let's look at hardware first. I like to use Ultimate Boot CD as it has a number of great utilities to test out your Mac. It runs on Linux so it completely eliminates OS X from the equation. And if you are wondering, yes, this will boot and work on your Mac. I have been doing it on Macs going back to 2006.
First, download, burn, and boot Ultimate Boot CD. There are a number of HDD utilities you can run that will test out your drive for you.
There is a USB Flash Boot Drive option instead of a CD (I personally use this).
Boot your machine by holding down the "Option" key before you hear the boot chime. You will then be able to choose your boot device.
There are a number of HDD tests you can run. Pick a simple test and run it.
Next, ff everything passes, try using a utility to delete/create a partition
If all works here, then you can attempt to create the bootcamp partition again.
Let us know what happens.

Q: Permanently disable time machine prompting for external disks Is it possible to disable time machine prompting when inserting external disks?
I use an appliance with SATA disks that regularly formats the disks. Whenever I plug such a disk in I get prompted again for time-machine - since the time-machine opt-out file is deleted.
This can happen 10s of times per hour and is rather frustrating.
I'd be happy for total disable of prompting, but better would probably to make it per interface (ie USB - i use a USB->SATA device) or per device (ie just the SATA dock I'm using)
A: From Turn Off Requests To Use New Disks for Time Machine [OS X Tips]...
You can stop this request dialog box from appearing by opening a Terminal window (Finder -> Applications -> Utilities – > Terminal) and typing the following:
defaults write com.apple.TimeMachine DoNotOfferNewDisksForBackup -bool TRUE
Then log out and back in again for the changes to take effect.
If you’d like to restore the request dialog at a later date, again open Terminal then type the following (log out and back in again after for the changes to take effect):
defaults delete com.apple.TimeMachine DoNotOfferNewDisksForBackup

Q: iTunes says I have more photos than I really do I have a 5th generation, 16GB iPod Touch that has iOS 8.1.0. I have a fairly recent version of iTunes.
I recently deleted over 1000 photos off my iPod and also deleted them out of the Recently Deleted section. (Note: I also have the photo streaming thing turned off.) When I plug my iPod into my computer, it still says that I have over 2000 pictures that are taking up 4GB of space on my iPod!
A: I have found the solution to the problem.
Quoting the solution from txforever from Apple forum.
Im not sure why is this happening, but i just know how to get rid of the prob.
It has something to do with the Recently Deleted folder in the iPhone.
You need to change the date of the phone to earlier mayb a year
earlier as in 2014. Then go into your Photos>Recently Deleted folders
to clear all the photo manually.
Note, when you go into photo, the Recently Folder might show 0, but if
you go into it, there is actually photo in it.

A: HAHA!! I figured it out! You have an album titled "Recently Deleted." Once you delete a photo or video, it is saved here for up to 40 days (usually 30). On your device, go to Photos--->Albums--->Recently Deleted. Then, tap "select," select each photo (annoying...), tap "Delete" and confirm. Done!
http://help.apple.com/icloud/?lang=en-us#/mm6aa648d5aa
A: I had the same problem, but my cause was a little different. Sometimes 3rd party apps store photos on the phone without your knowledge. My culprit was the flickr app. Check the photo settings on your apps. For example, for Flickr:
Settings / Privacy / Photos / Flickr
So, I turned it off and back on and the problem was instantly fixed. Yeah!
Apple, a little more detail on what is taking up space would help a lot!

Q: How to share Family calendar with non-family member? I have set up our family with iCloud, using iCloud Family Sharing. Currently, myself and my husband define our Family and use our Family calendar for household events.
I also have a work iCloud account and would like to be able to subscribe to my home Family calendar from my work account so that I can see family events on my work calendar. Is this possible, and if so, how can it be done (without adding my work account as a family member)?
A: I found the solution from my iPhone (and assuming iPad). Open your calendar app and click "Calendars" at the bottom. Find your iCloud family calendar and click the information icon "i". Scroll to the bottom and you will see the option to share the calendar. Once you share, you can copy the link. I'm using this for a DAKBoard display and it works perfectly.

A: You can share a Calendar with anyone in your contacts list…
Right click the calendar in the list on the left > Sharing Settings…
Start to type the name & select from matching contacts
As I recall [it's been a long time since I set mine up], they must have an iCloud account to be able to actually use it, so you'd add their mac.com, me.com or iCloud.com address.
A: Since macOS & iOS can handle multiple iCloud accounts, you can just add your personal iCloud account to your work Mac or iPhone in addition to the work account.
You may consider to turn all other iCloud options except the calendar off in order to limit the chances of mixing them up or bringing your personal email to your work Mac.

Q: Is it possible to throttle the iCloud photostream sync in OS X? I have a large iCloud photo library. Once in a blue moon my iMac running Yosemite decides to forget all about the synced libraries, and I have to re-enable the iCloud streams. However, my little DSL line will then be clogged for hours on end, because OS X downloads gigabytes of pictures.
Is it possible to throttle the speed to a certain setting, say 1MBit/sec? Or at least to pause the sync, without having to re-download everything?
A: You can't. :(
I solved with QOS on the DSL Modem. (ASUS)

Q: High windowServer CPU usage on Yosemite Since upgrading from Mountain-Lion to Yosemite, my MacBookPro5,5 (13", 2.26GHz C2D, GeForce 9400m) is (almost always) showing bad performance while working with native windows like Finder, System Preferences and Application Switcher. Even simple things like scrolling a folder in Finder spikes the CPU up. 'WindowServer' process shows high cpu usage (above 50%) while doing these and always tops the 'Total cpu usage' in Activity Monitor.
Updating to 10.10.2, erasing the disk and making a fresh install, following any recommendations about transparency/display/... settings I can found on the web (summarized mostly in WindowServer high CPU on Yosemite and its follow ups), even applying combinations of them did not have any significant effect. This is a clean install (not an update) and I only have Google Chrome as an external/installed app. I don't have an external monitor, although I even tried the recommendations including one...
I have installed Mavericks and this problem is not present now, but I will have to upgrade to Yosemite soon... Has anyone found a working solution yet?

Q: Can I deauthorize all computers on iTunes, without being on an authorized computer? I'm having issues installing apps on my new iPhone, because I am not authorized on my computer.
In the last 8 years I've been changing computers and reset the OS a lot. I didn't think of a limit with authorized PCs on iTunes.
Now I can't authorize my current system, because I do not have access to the "authorized" computers (i.e. the old OS I formatted).
How can I remove all the authorizations at once? I know I can only do that on an authorized machine (which I won't ever have access again).
Do I need to ask Apple directly for support?
A: I solved it myself.
For reference here's the steps I followed.
On the iTunes menu open Store->View Account, then in Account Summary click "Deauthorize all computer/devices/whatever.." (I'm translating in english the steps)
I wasn't able to do this on the menu with Store->Remove Authorization, because it was asking me to be authorized first to do it (and I already had 5 authorized computers).

A: If you've got an iCloud account, you can remove it from all authorized systems by using this way:
*
*Go to: www.icloud.com
*Sign to your account from the web page.
*Go to iCloud Settings (by clicking on your account name at the top-right corner and clicking on "iCloud Settings".)
*Go to "Data & Security" settings, which is a subset of "Advanced" settings.
*Go to the tab "Sign Out Everywhere"
*As you see in this tab we have a link says "Sign out of all browsers" and that's exactly what we need, so click on this link.
*Then iCloud will just warn you and ask "are you sure you want to do this?", so just sign out.
Remember that if you click "Sign Out" your account will de-authorize from all systems you are authorize with; it means you have to sign in your Apple ID the next time you want to work with iTunes.
Then you just have to authorize your ID with your new system. If you want to authorize follow these steps:
*Open iTunes
*Open the tab named account (by clicking on the small circle on the top-right)
*Chose the "Account Info"
*Enter your Apple ID and password then chose "View Account"
That’s it.

Q: Which MacBook doesn't have any fans? I'm looking to buy a MacBook Pro (13"), but I want it to be as quiet as possible.
So, which MacBook Pro doesn't have fan? Only the Gen-5 Broadwell CPU?
A: The recently announced 12 inch sized retina screen MacBook (Early 2015) will be the first fanless MacBook to ship once it goes on sale.
The MacBook Air (11" & 13") and the MacBook Pro 13" have one fan, the MacBook Pro 15" has two.

The MacBook Air (11" & 13") and the MacBook Pro 13" have one fan, the MacBook Pro 15" has two.
A: As Matthieu stated the only model without a fan is a new MacBook 12".
The good news is that newest MacBook Pro Retina (13-inch, Early 2015) has only one fan which is on only under have load. I'm playing with this machine from few days (max out with i7 CPU) and most of the time fan is 0 rpm. (in my 15" model they only slowed down, in 13" is completely off)
You will like new Trackpad as well because in the settings you can make it more quite by setting Click pressure to Light. So the most loud thing is the keyboard. (but more quite then on the 15" model - less travel keys)
A: The recently announced MacBook has no fan. All other MacBooks, to my knowledge, have a fan.

Q: How to have arrows for moving the cursor right and left when writing text on iPad? On an iPhone, I was writing text. Among the keys, I have seen arrows for moving the cursor right and left.
How can I have these keys on iPad ?
These would be very useful.
Why aren't these keys present on iPad ?
A: At this point, there is no default functionality on the iPad for arrow keys. (I suppose the idea is to tap the text to position the arrow). There is a chance that there is a 3rd-party keyboard for iPad that would include arrow keys.
Those arrow keys, from what I have seen, are unique to the iPhone 6 (and Plus) while in landscape mode.
Because of the way that the iPad can be typed on (two-handed vs. two-thumbed on the iPhone), there is a chance that arrow keys will never be brought to the iPad's default keyboard.

Q: Font Browser on OSX? myfonts.com has a create feature where we can choose sample text and selected size while browsing hundreds of fonts. This makes my life much easier when I need to decide which font to use in my design. I like to know if there is a desktop application that does the same thing (either system app or App Store apps that runs on OSX).
For those who don't know what I ask, I did a screen shot to demonstrate what I meant by 'where we can choose sample text and selected size while browsing hundreds of fonts'.
A: Font Book in your Applications folder. Comes preinstalled with Mac OS X. Choose Custom (under the "View" option on screen top menu bar) and then type the text you want to preview. Then you can cycle through your installed fonts using the up/down arrow keys and the preview will display your custom text in the highlighted font.

Q: Selected application loses focus Since upgrading to Yosemite, the current application -- could be anything from Sublime Text to AppCode to Chrome -- will lose focus while I'm typing.
This happens with an external keyboard or an internal keyboard, with the computer lid closed (MBP Retina) and open.
Any advice or event hints?
A: The issue was due to a dockbar application grabbing the focus occasionally. One such culprit: older versions of Google Drive, as seen here: https://productforums.google.com/forum/#!msg/drive/epLdP4Bny5w/gKQsxwDMoUAJ
However, any application can grab and keep focus.
Note: for me the problem was a very outdated version of Google Drive.

However, any application can grab and keep focus.
Note: for me the problem was a very outdated version of Google Drive.
A: @DanRosenstark - probably - I haven't researched the Mac App Store restrictions.
I wonder, however, if there are any security holes that can be caused not by malware stealing focus, but by malware interacting with the user, so that the user is pointing and clicking, and then the malware doing something, like an error, that causes 'legitimate' SW to steal focus, so that the user input events go to the legitimate SW - and cause it to do something that the user probably does not want it to do.
This certainly applies if the 'legitimate' focus stealer puts up a box with "Delete" or "Are you sure?" buttons. Worse if the async legit SW asks for a program to run, or presents something like finder with program icons to click on.
It's hard for malware to control this - but malware is smart.
Heck, I am sure that this is a vulnerability.
Focus stealing, by anyone, whether malware or goodware, is a security risk.
The only really secure thing if you really, really, need the user to stop typing or mousing at his current app and pay attention, e.g. to an error, is to put up a dialog box with an error message, gray everything else, after a while beep or otherwise warn if there is any input anywhere else, but not to accept input into the new dialog box until the user has done something explicit to get there.
Not just click on a button in the dialog box, because the mouse may already have been positioned where it pops up. But some unlikely to be accidental thing, like moving the mouse around (like a big circular gesture), and then clicking.
(It does not have to be so onerous if the error button is someplace where the user would not normally have his mouse. E.g. display an error message that might say "You need to go to the notification error to cancel this")
Focus stealing is a security hole, no matter who steals the focus, if whatever the user may be doing, wherever on the display, pointing, clicking, typing, touching, possibly with head down not looking at the visual feedback, may be misdirected.

Q: Keyboard keeps reverting to U.S For a few weeks, I've noticed that my keyboard layout keeps reverting to U.S. each time I reboot. To be precise: each time I reboot, my System Preferences -> Keyboard -> Input Sources window looks like this:
I keep changing it to this (but it doesn't stick around for long):
NB: MathUnicode is a .keylayout file of my own making, which I've used for several years now, without any problems.
I'm running OS X Yosemite (10.10.1) on a MacBook Pro (13-inch, Early 2011).
Does anybody know how I can stop it reverting to the U.S. keyboard layout?
A: *
*Select Keyboard you want.
*Shut down your Mac.
*Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command (⌘), Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously
Turn on the computer.
*Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys before the gray screen appears.
Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
*Release the keys.
After resetting NVRAM or PRAM, you may need to reconfigure your settings for speaker volume, screen resolution, startup disk selection, and time zone information.

Q: Disable media controls on iPhone lockscreen When playing any kind of audio (for example the Music or Spotify app) you see media controls on your lockscreen. They are handy, but also cover the wallpaper I like to see (I can control the music player with my headset). Is there a way to disable those media controls on the lockscreen?
A: Sorry to say, the answer is no. Although I don't find it intrusive to have the controls there, I wish that it wouldn't blur the background, too. The availability of the same controls in the Control Center makes it redundant.

A: If you press the home button, the controls will be replaced by the full-sized time and date. However, your wallpaper will still be blurry, unfortunately. This will also reset to media controls once the screen goes to sleep again.
A: Swipe the screen to your right & then remove all app suggestions via "edit" at the bottom of the screen. That's the best option I found for not allowing unintended access to apps on the lock screen from my pocket

Q: My dad keeps getting all my apps that I download. why? My dad and I used to have the same Apple id, but recently I made his own (he didn't know how to work his) and I changed it on his phone. I kept mine on a new device. But he still keeps getting any app that I download. I don't know how to make it stop transferring all my data to him.
A: There are a few places Apple IDs can be set on a phone. Make sure that you changed his Apple ID in his iTunes & App Store setting on his phone.
You shouldn't have to, but you may want to make sure that Automatic Downloads is not turned on also (in the same settings menu).

You shouldn't have to, but you may want to make sure that Automatic Downloads is not turned on also (in the same settings menu).
A: Your Dad's phone is still tied to your Apple ID for automatic downloads, so any of your purchases are automatically downloaded to his phone. This is easily fixed, and can even be done without access to his phone.
You can manage your automatic download devices with iTunes. Launch iTunes (these instructions are for iTunes 12.x), make sure you're signed in to your Apple ID, then:
*
*Click the account dropdown in the title bar, to the left of search (it'll be labelled with the first name of the Apple ID).
*Select Account Info (you'll probably be prompted for your password; make sure you login with your Apple ID.
*In the section labelled iTunes in the Cloud, click the Manage Devices link.
*All devices authorised for automatic downloads, whether they're currently set to receive items or not, are listed. Remove any unwanted devices by clicking the remove button next to their entry.
*Click Done, 'cause you are (done).
Any devices you removed from the list will no longer be able to automatically receive purchase you make with your account. If you remove a device within 90 days of adding it to your account, that device cannot be added to another Apple ID until the 90 days have passed; in this case, the device's entry will show the remaining number of days.

Q: How to view CPU clock rate in GHz or MHz? I am looking to get the new 12″ MacBook and as a result I would like to know the clock speed (in GHz) my current MacBook Air (late 2010) is running at so I know the processor on the MacBook will cope.
At the moment I know my processor running at the lowest frequency is 1.86GHz (as shown in System Information) and when I look in Activity Monitor as suggested here it only shows me the CPU usage and not the current clock speed. I have also looked at this suggestion but again it does not show me my processing frequency.
The reason why I want to find out the current speed my MacBook Air is running at is because Turbo Charge (explained here) can have it's clock run at various speeds from moment to moment. I have also tried Intel's power gadget software as suggested by @grgarside however my Air's CPU is not supported as shown here.
A: Intel Power Gadget can show the current CPU frequency.

A: Intel Power Gadget can show the current CPU frequency.
A: There may be a way to view your CPU's clock speed at this exact second, but as mentioned elsewhere, it is a constantly changing variable (due to Turbo Charge). Comparing clock speeds between different CPU generations, especially nearly five years apart, is also not at all useful.
A much more useful approach would be to use benchmarks. MacWorld uses Speedmark 8 to test most (if not all) Mac models that are produced, and there is a list here of the results. They "take the performance results from the 15 individual tests that make up Speedmark and boil them down to a single number", resulting in an easily-compared list which reviews multiple facets of the computer (not just the CPU). That list does not yet have the new MacBook models on it, but it likely will soon.
You can also compare scores on the GeekBench browser, which directly measure the CPU's performance. Your model's benchmarks are here and average about 1950. The Core M-5Y70 processor, which powers the new MacBook, is available at 1.1 GHz, 1.2 GHz, or 1.3 GHz. The only benchmarks currently available are for the 1.3 GHz version of the CPU, and the score for that averages about two times higher than your model's score. (Hence why the clock speed is irrelevant when comparing different generations of CPUs.)
A score of two times higher on GeekBench indicates two times the performance. Even accounting for the slower base models at 1.1 GHz and 1.2 GHz, performance will still be significantly increased versus your existing MacBook Air.

| Q: Disable SpeechRecognitionCore edit: I don't use this feature, don't need nor want it running in the background.
Is there a way to deactivate the service?
I've seen so far this command:
killall -9 com.apple.SpeechRecognitionCore.speechrecognitiond
But wouldn't like having to remember doing so manually.
A: You probably have Dictation enabled.
This setting is under Keyboard System Preferences.
A: There's nothing wrong with that process using 800 MB of real memory.
On three OS X machines I surveyed: 5 MB of shared, 825 MB private and 865 MB of real memory was typical. The virtual memory ranged between 3.0 and 4.0 GB.
What's important is the overall memory pressure on the system. Here you can see that speech recognition does have one of the larger footprints, but the system was in no way over committed with respect to RAM.
Since the process doesn't even start until you dictate, killing it won't really do much if you continue to use that feature. Since it is run on a per-user basis, logging out and back it will release the memory it uses and you can continue killing it as well, but there'd need to be other issues for this allocation to cause problems on a system.
A: To kill the process:
Go to: Preferences/Accessibility/Siri/Open Siri Preferences. Then Disable "Ask Siri. The app will go away.

Q: Disable display mirroring for every possible future display Is there some 'defaults write' or other trick to tell OS X to never mirror displays? (Unless they're at least as good resolution as the retina display.)
I thought I had display mirroring disabled completely just from the 'displays' options. Every time I used one of the extra displays (projectors, TV) I regularly use, I got a them as additional displays, not mirrored. But today, giving a presentation, I attached another new projector, and it was mirrored. The horror! My desktop was left after that like my house would be after a robbery. I hate mirroring, because it squeezes the retina display into 640x480, and I have to rearrange all the windows back into reasonable sizes afterwards.
A: Sorry, no - there's no such option on current macOS versions.
You can submit a radar with a feature suggestion at:
https://bugreport.apple.com/
However I wouldn't get my hopes up if I were you. It is probably not one of the most requested features right now, although I think it would be very useful for me as well.

Q: How do I regain access to Font Book? It opens, hangs, then requires Force Quit I just purchased a new MacBook Pro and migrated everything over from the old one. I had imagined that it was the old one that was preventing me from being able use Font Book (Font Book.app); it’s not that.
When I attempt to open it on the new machine, looks like it is going to work for about five seconds, then becomes completely non–responsive, including the spinning wait cursor, until I use Force Quit.
So far I have tried deleting
*
*~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.FontBook.plist,
*~/Library/Preferences/Saved Application State/com.apple.FontBook.savedState, and
*~/Library/Fonts,
and then rebooting, but to no avail.
A: Make a backup of /Users/YOUR_USERNAME/Library/FontCollections, and then delete that folder. Most likely, it's a corrupt font collection. Then, recreate the folder, and add each one back if you really want to investigate.
Otherwise, just delete the collections and start over.

A: After upgrading to El Capitan Font Book crashed - EVERY time I launched it. Though I couldn't delete the Font Collections folder, I could remove all of the items in it. AND IT WORKED! Font Book is now as it should be. Oh Happy Day!
A: A variation of suggestions from Alistair and Kevin and the Lucas, the OP, worked for me.
This is exactly the problem I was having. From Lucas: Before the hang begins, the pane on the left briefly shows four items ... “All Fonts” then a subheading “Smart Collection.”
I force-quite Font Book, went to the FontCollections folder (Finder Go Menu, pasted ~/Library/FontCollections).
Sorting by date added, there were some from the day of the crash. I threw those four font collection into the trash, and was able to reboot Font Book without a hitch.
To be safe I should probably trash them all, but for a quick fix this got me back in business.

Q: Change a printer driver of an already configured printer Is there a way that you can set the printer driver for a printer that is already installed (other than deleting it an reinstalling). When you install a new printer you get an option to set which print driver it uses (see image below). But i cant seem to edit this once created.
A: This feature was removed in OS X 10.8. You have to use the CUPS interface by running cupsctl WebInterface=yes from Terminal and then pointing a Web browser to http://localhost:631. From there:
*
*Open the Printers tab.
*Select your printer and select Modify Printer from the second drop-down menu. (You’ll have to provide your OS credentials.)
*Select your printer and click Continue twice.
*Select a different driver or choose an appropriate PPD file.
*Click Modify Printer.

Q: How do I get the name of the wifi network I'm connected to? I know how to find it out in Objective C, but I need to do this in a shell script.
(I could compile and install one of the example programs given in the link, but surely there is already a command line program installed that will give me this information?)
I have MacOS X Yosemite, 10.10.2.
A: Great answer here by grg, but just wanted to add this option in case it is useful for someone to extract the SSID and only the SSID:
/Sy*/L*/Priv*/Apple8*/V*/C*/R*/airport -I | grep -w SSID | awk '{print $2}'

Q: How to troubleshoot Time Machine when backup always halts at some point? Everything starts ok but then it comes to a halt and does not move. Even the HD light stops :(
A: Troubleshooting this is fairly straightforward to start.
When it hangs, open up Applications/Utilities and launch terminal.
Type:
sudo tmdiagnose
That will gather many logs and statistics and allow you to have a complete picture of what Time Machine was stuck on. After collecting three such instances (reboot the Mac after the script ends), you can start looking for patterns or a specific file that's causing things to hang.
You also can capture very precise details before and after the tmdiagnose command by issuing a tmutil status command.
I've been troubleshooting this on one Mac for a few weeks now, so it's not always clear what or where the issue lies. Hopefully yours will be easier to nail down than mine.

Q: How to add MySQL to $PATH variable to resolve "mysql: command not found"? I installed MySQL on my Mac, and now I would like to add it to my $PATH variable. I want to be able to type mysql anywhere.
I tried adding the following to my .profile file:
export PATH=${PATH}/usr/local/mysql/bin/
I have restarted my Terminal but it does not do the trick. It still says: -bash: mysql: command not found.
How can I add this properly to my $PATH?
I am using OS X Yosemite.
A: You can accomplish this by going to your .bash_profile file and adding these lines to it.
alias mysql.start="sudo /usr/local/mysql/support-files/mysql.server start"
alias mysql.stop="sudo /usr/local/mysql/support-files/mysql.server stop"
alias mysql.restart="sudo /usr/local/mysql/support-files/mysql.server restart"
alias mysql.status="sudo /usr/local/mysql/support-files/mysql.server status"
After you've done this you can start, stop, restart and check the status of your connection anywhere in your terminal like this:
mysql.start - starts mysql
mysql.stop - stop mysql
mysql.restart - restarts mysql
mysql.status - checks the status of mysql
Hope that helps even tho I might be late. CHEERS!

A: Here is why your current code is not working:
export PATH=${PATH}/usr/local/mysql/bin/
You forgot the colon and the trailing "/" is unnecessary.
export PATH=${PATH}:/usr/local/mysql/bin
is the correct code.
A: Try adding the following line to your .bash_profile file.
export PATH="/usr/local/mysql/bin:$PATH"
You can do this easily with the following command, which will append the line if the file already exists or create a new file with the line if it doesn't.
echo 'export PATH="/usr/local/mysql/bin:$PATH"' >> ~/.bash_profile
A: You can also use an alias to do things like setting username and database.
In .bash_profile ( just .profile on some systems )
alias mysql='/usr/local/mysql/bin/mysql -u username --default-character-set=utf8' -p databasename
logout and open a new terminal or it won't get setup
Now typing mysql will ask for your database password and take you straight there, instead of fiddling with the options each time.
A: If you need to modify your .bash_profile file, take a look at this article: My Mac Osx Bash Profile, which is very helpful and easy to understand.
It solved my $PATH issue (which appeared out of nowhere).
A: For MAMP users,
export PATH=${PATH}:/Applications/MAMP/Library/bin
A: edit the system wide configuration file:
/etc/paths

Q: How to connect a Mac Book Pro to a LaserWriter II NT I have an Apple LaserWriter II NT from the late 80's. Is there a way how I can print to it from my MacBook Pro?
A: That machine has an AppleTalk interface - I doubt you'll find anything made in the last 20 years that can connect to it, much less drivers for it that would run under OS X.
12MHz processor & 2MB RAM - I think it's also PostScript only, but I'm not certain.
The Asanté Bridge used to be the thing to connect Ethernet to AppleTalk - but idk if the $60 asking price would be worth it these days - I did find one on Amazon, though - http://www.amazon.com/Asante-Talk-Ethernet-LocalTalk-Bridge/dp/B00004VUFW

How can I make Chrome on my Mac hand off to Chrome on my iPhone?
On another note, when I use Chrome on my iPhone, it successfully hands off to Chrome on my Mac.
A: Currently it is not possible to open automaticaly another browser than Safari because Apple does not allow to set a custom browser as default on iOS.

On another note, when I use Chrome on my iPhone, it successfully hands off to Chrome on my Mac.
A: Currently it is not possible to open automaticaly another browser than Safari because Apple does not allow to set a custom browser as default on iOS.
A: It is probably due to the fact that you cannot change your default browser in iOS.
Found this work-around, from here:
Method 2 : For all iOS users
Opening links in Google Chrome for iOS by default is also possible using a simple trick developed by Jon Abram called the iOS “Open in chrome” bookmarket. It is a small javascript code that a user needs to save in Safari bookmarks, tapping on this saved bookmark will transfer link to Google Chrome. The code is below.
javascript:location.href="googlechrome"+location.href.substring(4);
Instructions:
Copy the code above and bookmark this page in safari .
Now open safari bookmarks, click edit and edit the just saved bookmark .
Rename your Bookmark to anything like Open in chrome .
Delete the URL in the bookmark and replace it with the above javascript code.
Thats it!
Now your links can be opened in Google Chrome, if you open a link from within an app or email, it opens in safari, then hit the above bookmark to open it in chrome browser .
Any of the above methods can be used by a jailbroken user to set Google Chrome as default iOS browser while the regular users can

Q: How to view Software Update menu in top toolbar According to this:

I should be able to update Mac software from the View menu of System Preferences. However, I don't see a Software Update option.
Here's what I do see:
etc... then ...
Has something changed?
A: I assume you're using an operating system greater than 10.7 (10.8 - 10.10)? With Mountain Lion (10.8), Apple moved the software update process to the Mac App Store application.
Prior to 10.8 Software Updates were handled in the manner the link describes. As such System Preferences had a Software Update section for managing timing of update checks.
Following 10.8 this is no longer found in System Preferences. Instead you should open the App Store and click on the Updates tab. Alternately the Apple menu has an option for App Store which, if updates are available, shows the number of updates waiting. (see picture)

Following 10.8 this is no longer found in System Preferences. Instead you should open the App Store and click on the Updates tab. Alternately the Apple menu has an option for App Store which, if updates are available, shows the number of updates waiting. (see picture)
A: The link you provide does not concern version of OSX where the updates are fully handled by the AppStore (OSX >= 10.8).
That being said, use the AppStore to update your apps :)

Q: What is the meaning of the "§" symbol (on the upper left corner of the mac keyboard)? The title says it all, but I'll repeat it here:
What is the meaning of the "§" symbol (on the upper left corner of the mac keyboard) as highlighted in the image here?
Apparently, this is not printed on mac keyboards sold in the US, though it is on models sold in Europe (or Israel, in my case).
A: It's a Section sign, and is used in Minecraft for color formatting codes.

A: "§" is the section sign, as answered by @Lizzan.
Excerpt from Wikipedia:
The section sign (§) is a typographical character used mainly to refer to a particular section of a document, such as a legal code. It is also called "double S" and "sectional symbol".
It is also sometimes used to link to a footnote where the asterisk (*) is already in use on a given page.
A: As noted, it is the “section sign” symbol. I had no idea it was on some keyboards! On my American Apple keyboard, I can type it as ⌥6 (Option-6).

Q: Restoring Time Machine backup made on a previous OS X version My macbook pro, running OS X Lion (10.7.5) got stolen last night. Luckily they didn't take my external drive, where I have a Time Machine back up of all my data, which is extremely important to me (mostly, unfinished music productions projects in Ableton)
Since new MacBooks ship with OS X Yosemite, would I able to restore my Time Machine backup on a new laptop?
A: Yes, the migration assistant can migrate from an older version. However it cannot migrate from a newer version.
Backup of 10.9 --> System on 10.10 works
Backup of 10.10 --> System on 10.9 does not work

A: It's the other way around, your Time Machine OS has to be same or newer than whatever computer you are installing it on. I bought a 2018 laptop, running the latest OS, and was not able to restore my circa 2012 OS time machine. Apple told me that I have to buy a computer that originally came with the same OS as my time machine, or it won't work.

Q: I have to turn my Apple TV on to make it discoverable by laptops/phones Whenever I want to share my screen to my apple tv, I first need to find the apple tv remote and turn it on. I used to be able to, at anytime, go to the displays dropdown and select my Apple TV to share to. Now, my ATV only shows up when I turn it on first.
I see the setting "sleep after X" on my ATV but I don't think this setting is the solution.
Is there a setting I'm missing?
My macbooks and iphone are all running the latest software, and no programs see it at all until I turn it on. ( itunes, beamer, display port, popcorn time )
A: In my experience, the "sleep after X" is the solution. If I can't see on my apple tv the power diode on - the device is at sleep and I will not be able to use it as a target for airplay.
It should be said my apple tv is only connected through wifi. I wonder if connecting it through ethernet would make any difference (although I suspect it wouldn't).

Q: How to set ⌘ + H to enable show hidden files I want my Mac to show hidden files when i hit ⌘ + H (like ubuntu). I can see hidden files by putting this defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles YES command in terminal but i want to get a keyboard shortcut for it. Also, if ⌘ + H is already used by some other process please let me know what might be the closest and most related shortcut for this new process and how to assign it to the respective, show hidden files process.
A: Cmd ⌘ Shift ⇧ . will toggle hidden file display in the finder(In Sierra or later(but works in the open file dialogue in earlier versions)).

A: Cmd ⌘ Shift ⇧ . will toggle hidden file display in the finder(In Sierra or later(but works in the open file dialogue in earlier versions)).
A: Edit at Nov 2018
This is all now moot since High Sierra. In Finder, Cmd ⌘ Shift ⇧ . [period, full stop] will toggle invisible files on the fly, nothing else needed.
Cmd ⌘ H is the system-wide shortcut for "Hide frontmost app"
To try tie a new shortcut to that, you could maybe use Automator to add a Service - but I still don't know how you would persuade it to override the existing System default.
This works as a Service if you use a non-system key, but not with Cmd ⌘ H
on run {input, parameters}
set newHiddenVisiblesState to "YES"
try
set oldHiddenVisiblesState to do shell script "defaults read com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles"
if oldHiddenVisiblesState is in {"1", "YES"} then
set newHiddenVisiblesState to "NO"
end if
end try
do shell script "defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles " & newHiddenVisiblesState
tell application "Finder"
set theWindows to every Finder window
repeat with i from 1 to number of items in theWindows
set this_item to item i of theWindows
set theView to current view of this_item
if theView is list view then
set current view of this_item to icon view
else
set current view of this_item to list view
end if
set current view of this_item to theView
end repeat
end tell
return input
end run
Edit for El Capitan…
I've noticed that the Finder window refresh no longer works in El Capitan, so this is a modified version, quitting the Finder instead.
on run {input, parameters}
--Toggle Invisibles, El Capitan Version
set newHiddenVisiblesState to "YES"
try
set oldHiddenVisiblesState to do shell script "defaults read com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles"
if oldHiddenVisiblesState is in {"1", "YES"} then
set newHiddenVisiblesState to "NO"
end if
end try
do shell script "defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles " & newHiddenVisiblesState & "; killall Finder"
end run
I guess you could make it work for the Finder only, if you specified some other key command for Hide Finder - as it is visible as a Menu item it would be possible to override for that app alone [by putting something 'useless' as an alternative], leaving you free to then use Cmd ⌘ H to toggle invisibles from the Finder only.
Tested - does work this way
A: If you're using the French AZERTY keyboard, the default shortcut is different because the dot can only be typed by pressing Shift + ;
In this particular case, use this shortcut to toggle hidden file display in Finder: Fn + Cmd + Shift + ;

Q: Disable Trackpad and Keyboard Temporarily Is it possible to disable the trackpad and mouse temporarily while you have an external mouse and keyboard plugged in.
The keys keep getting accidentally hit while I have the mouse and keyboard plugged in.
Edit
Thank you to everyone who answered, because of this I was able to make an applescript to toggle the builtin keyboard on and off:
try
if (display dialog "Press OK to Enable Keyboard and cancel to disable.") = {button returned:"OK"} then
do shell script "sudo kextload /System/Library/Extensions/AppleUSBTopCase.kext/Contents/PlugIns/AppleUSBTCKeyboard.kext/" with administrator privileges
end if
on error msg
do shell script "sudo kextunload /System/Library/Extensions/AppleUSBTopCase.kext/Contents/PlugIns/AppleUSBTCKeyboard.kext/" with administrator privileges
end try
A: For the trackpad, there’s a setting for this on 10.7 and later.
System Preferences > Accessibility > Mouse & Trackpad > “Ignore built-in trackpad when mouse or wireless trackpad is present”
As for the keyboard: I haven’t tested this solution for disabling the built-in keyboard and wouldn’t recommend doing it either. Apparently you can unload a kernel extension to disable it completely.

A: Before doing this.....
WARNING: Before disabling the built-in keyboard, make darn sure you have an external keyboard connected!!
WARNING: Before disabling the built-in trackpad, make sure you have an external mouse connected!
sudo kextunload /System/Library/Extensions/AppleUSBTopCase.kext/Contents/PlugIns/AppleUSBTCKeyboard.kext/

sudo kextload /System/Library/Extensions/AppleUSBTopCase.kext/Contents/PlugIns/AppleUSBTCKeyboard.kext/
Source: http://t3chnot3s.blogspot.com/2013/12/disabling-built-in-keyboard-and.html
However I would recommend a simple and safe and very temporary method is to cut a piece of cardboard and place it on top of the keyboard. It worked for me to prevent my Cat taking over.
A: Cannot find out how to do disable the keyboard but to disable the trackpad do this (for Yosemite)
Go to System Preferences > Accessibility > Mouse & Trackpad and check Ignore built-in trackpad when mouse or wireless trackpad is present
Got this from here.
If you don't want to use the keyboard don't touch it! Will look this up if you still want to know.
A: If you want to disable the built-in trackpad using a keyboard shortcut, make a new Automator service and add this Applescript:
global state
set startTime to do shell script "perl -e 'use Time::HiRes qw(time); print time'"
if running of application "System Preferences" then
quit application "System Preferences"
delay 0.05
end if
tell application "System Preferences"
reveal pane id "com.apple.preference.universalaccess"
delay 0.05
tell application "System Events"
tell window 1 of application process "System Preferences"
select table 1 of scroll area 1
select row 15 of table 1 of scroll area 1
tell checkbox 2 of tab group 1 of group 1
click
set state to item (((get value of attribute "AXValue") as integer) + 1) of {"Enabled", "Disabled"}
end tell
end tell
end tell
quit
end tell
set endTime to do shell script "perl -e 'use Time::HiRes qw(time); print time'"
set elapsed to (round ((endTime - startTime) * 1000 * 1000)) / 1000
display notification (elapsed as string) & "ms" with title state & " Built-In Trackpad" subtitle "Time taken:"
Then go to System Preferences > Keyboard > Shortcuts > Services and assign a keyboard shortcut to your service.

Q: How to get rid of annoying Non-secure Jabber Login popup? My Messages app out-of-blue started to complain that my GTalk credentials are being sent in non-secured manner.
Your name and password will be sent in a way that is not secure.
Do you still wish to connect to this server?
This was working all the time and I didn't change anything (including my network).
How do I fix it?
I've checked my Server Settings for GTalk account, but it seems my 'Use SSL' is greyed out, so I can't enable it.
A: Normally you've to just turn on the 'Use SSL' option (Preferences->Accounts->Google->Server Settings).
It's greyed out, because the option 'Automatically find server and port' is enabled. If the option is greyed as well, disable temporary the account then disable the option, then set the manual settings or try to click on 'Use Default Settings' option. You can use either 5222, 5223 or 443.

A: I tried various combinations of checking and unchecking SSL, Automatically finding server, etc., and none of these interventions worked.
What worked for me was to go to Internet Accounts under System Preferences, and deleting my Google account (by highlighting Google and clicking on the "–" box) and then just adding it back in again by clicking on the "+" box and re-entering my Google User ID and Password. It just took a few seconds to do this and it fixed the problem.
Hope this might help others.
A: I had this popup appearing about every 2 minutes and driving me crazy. So go to Messages → Preferences → Google and uncheck every box. This will close the jabber thing in messages and then no more pop-ups.
A: The only way I could resolve this was to delete the account and then add it back. This was from an account I had for years when google seemed to use jabber. Now it is GTalk which seems to be secure.

Q: How to set the Display aspect ratio to 16:9 explicitly when using a VGA adaptor Background
I was presenting at a venue where the projector supports 1280x720px resolution (16:9) via VGA cable (I've previously used the same room and equipment on an older 2011 MacBook Pro running Mavericks).
Yesterday I used a newer 2014 MacBook Pro Retina running Yosemite, and was unable to set this resolution - the closest I could choose was 1280x1024px.
When the MacBook is mirroring to a projector via VGA cable, the > System Preferences > Displays panel looks something like this:
In my case the only options were 1280x1024px and 800x600px (this image is from the web - I didn't get a screenshot at the time).
My question
Is there anywhere, other than the > System Preferences > Displays dialog, where you can explicitly set/force the output resolution?
My only options were 1280x1024 or 800x600, yet I'm positive the projector supported 16:9 since I've used it before.
A: In the monitor/display settings just press the Option key when selecting the "scaled" option. Then additional resolution options will show up.

A: In the monitor/display settings just press the Option key when selecting the "scaled" option. Then additional resolution options will show up.
A: I had the same problem yesterday. I needed to do recording on Windows (a Parallels VM) in 1280x720 (16:9), and Parallels always resets my Windows resolutions to whatever Macbook sees even when I use the config options Parallels say should not mess with that.
I wrote this exact command with cscreen:
cscreen -x 1280 -y 720 -r 60
Which allowed my Macbook to show this resolution in the series of resolutions I see in Retina Display Menu (RDM) - I had to quit and reopn RDM, no log off or reboot required.
Then I just selected it from there, reverted my Parallels to the original setting of following whatever Macbook uses (I think I needed to reboot the VM), and it just worked.
Update Regarding RDM
I have been using RDM for years now. I've tested it on latest macOS to date on Macbook Pro 2018 (haven't checked on ARM Macbooks but it should work).
It's also available on Homebrew:
brew install --cask avibrazil-rdm
A: Displays under System Preferences is it from the OS X built-in UI side.
There are third-party utilities like Display Menu that offers additional resolutions.
There is also cscreen if you want to do it in Terminal or incorporate it in a script.
A: Display menu doesnt do 16:9 on a Retina MBP...only 16:10 and 4:3

Q: Why do bluetooth speakers reconnect to device that is off? I have several bluetooth speakers, and more than 2 iOS devices. Once a speaker is paired with one iOS device (iPhone, for ex.), the next time I turn on the speaker, it connects (with beep sound) to that device again, even if that device is OFF, preventing it from connecting to a different iOS device I'm trying to use it with (iPad, for example -also previously paired with the speaker). I'm wondering if the latest Bluetooth specification has eliminated this annoying trate.

Q: Giving opacity to Spotlight I constantly find myself ⌘CMD+Space to do some arithmetic based off numbers I have in front of me. The problem is, as soon as I've entered the first operation, Spotlight expands and opens over some/all of the source of my numbers.
Is there a way I can add an opacity to the Spotlight overlay so I can see through it to the windows below?
A: As there's no answer to this, in the new El Capitan there is a slight opacity (although not to see through). However, they have now given us the ability to move spotlight which solves my original issue.
If anyone has a way to replicate this functionality (or my original functionality) in earlier version, please post; but for now, this is your only answer.

Q: Can you use the Apple Watch with an iPod touch? I may or may not be be getting the new Apple Watch. Before I think about it I want to know if I can use it with an iPod Touch 5th generation instead of an iPhone.
Is the apple Watch locked to the iPhone 6 only or can I use it with an iPod Touch. If I can use it with a iPod what features will I loose or what will the ones be available.
A: From Apple's website: "Apple Watch works with iPhone 5 or later running the latest version of iOS, which introduces the Apple Watch app. So make sure everything is up to date"
Note: While it does say "Requires iPhone 5 or later." in the footnotes at the very bottom of the http://www.apple.com/watch/technology/ mentioned by Matthieu Riegler, nonetheless it's important to note that both the iPhone 5 and later must have at least iOS 8.2 or later. So an iPhone 5 still running iOS 7.x will not work with the Apple Watch.

A: On every page about the Apple Watch, it's stated at the bottom of the page that Apple Watch :
Requires iPhone 5 or later.
This means no iPod touch.
A: No, you cannot use Apple Watch with an iPod touch. The Apple Watch app is also not available on that device.
A: You can still use it. The only thing the phone allows it to do is call, receive texts, check distance you've gone (GPS) or some other key features like camera. Everything else is still accessible to to it being able to connect to wifi.

Q: Spotlight makes repeated http requests I'm running Little Snitch and every time I open Spotlight to find something it makes a bunch of http requests out to various websites, some I've visited in the past some I've absolutely no idea about.
I've no idea what Spotlight is doing and why it should be reaching out, but in anycase I'd much prefer if it didn't.
Is there any way to restrict Spotlight to the local machine and not have it make these requests?
A: System Prefs > Spotlight
I'm guessing 'Bing Web Searches' might be the one you want rid of… or perhaps Spotlight Suggestions...
It may also be somewhat interactive with Safari Prefs - Search [though I've not tested this, I've switched mine all off anyway]

A: If you're using Little Snitch then you can block Spotlight altogether:
There are two items to pay attention to, and they are Spotlight and SpotlightNetHelper. I always block SpotlightNetHelper because from my observation it apparently by default it sends data to Apple during login. Spotlight itself does by default attempt to make an outgoing connection for example if you search for "google.com". During that process you'll see other websites showing up through the Little Snitch dialog because it also picks up anything embedded within that websites page. I selectively deny these outgoing attempts, although you can permanently block any/all of them if you choose.
I find it easier to manage all the connections in Little Snitch.
A: An Apple tech supervisor told me how to stop Spotlightnethelper. She had me go to system preferences, then spotlight, then uncheck "Definitions" and "Spotlight suggestions" in the list, and then below the list is another button to uncheck that says "Allow Spotlights suggestions and look up". Then she had me shut down the computer. Then do a PRAM reset by hitting power, then immediately hitting I think cmdaltPR all that the same time until I heard two start up tones, then release those four keys, and that seemed to do the trick. I don't see Spotlightnethelper in the activity monitor, and it's no longer using 280 - 340 percent of CPU.

Q: How can I type "\" (backslash) via remote desktop with a Norwegian, Danish or Swedish keyboard? I am running Remote Desktop to connect from my MacBook Air with Yosemite to a Windows computer running Windows 8.1.
Both my Mac and the Windows computer is configured with Norwegian keyboard layout.
It seems "\" backslash is impossible to input in this keyboard configuration. I would guess it's the same for Danish and Swedish keyboards.
Is there a way to easily input this character in RDP for Mac using this keyboard layout?
(I would be willing to map some key combination if that's possible, but I don't want to switch to some other keyboard layout, since I need to input Norwegian characters now and then)
A: The problem was actually a bug in Remote Desktop for OS X, and has been fixed in 8.0.15, which was released a few days ago. Now the keyboard works completely as expected with both my Mac and the Windows computer configured with Norwegian keyboard layout.

A: When you are in the Windows RDP app you should be able to type in the Alt-Code for "\" (Alt-92) no matter which input source you have set. It's not ideal, but should get the job done!
Simply hold down the option/alt key and type 92.
For the record the Alt-Codes don't work in Mac apps.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alt_code
You can find a full list of Alt-Codes at alt-codes.net
A: I use two languages, English and Romanian, and the keyboard is Romanian. From the language menu in the menu bar, you can click on the flag (if you dont't see it, just check System Preferences, Keyboard, Input Sources > Show Input menu in menu bar) and select Show keyboard viewer.
If you press CMD, Alt or fn, some keys from the keyboard viewer will change. Locate the "\" character in the viewer, it must show up when pressing one of the keys mentioned above. Then, to type the character, simple press the corresponding CMD/ALT/fn key + the key from the keyboard that changed beforehand.
Also check this Apple Support page: OS X Yosemite: Use the Keyboard Viewer
A: Try Alt + ?. It is working for me with Swedish Keyboard.
A: shift+alt+7 under swedish pro keyboard layout
A: As a workaround (which I'd love to have something better than) I've found that finding an existing backslash and doing a copy/paste of it to the new location works, but is obviously very clunky and not a permanent fix.
A: a quick workaround is to just copy and paste from your local machine. I found however CTRL+ALT+~ produces the backslash quickly
A: Try pressing Shift twice, the \ key then seems to work in RDP
A: Ctrl Option 8 did the trick on French Keyboard Layout (OS X and Remote Windows)
A: ctrl-alt-+ works for me, Swedish keyboard
A: shift+Insert Key
for back slash key on remote machines "\"

Q: How to display favicon on my Safari Tab? I want to display favicon on my Safari Tab :
I am using Yosemite 10.10.
I've tried Glims, it doesn't seem to work with Yosemite.
I'm wondering if there are other way around to tweak this natively or with a third party tool.
A: This is not possible with current version of Safari 9 or 9.1.
If, like me, you do really want this feature, please use Apple Safari feedack form to send feedback to Apple.
They do listen to customer feedback, I can assure you, and when it comes to features like this, the number of requests is essential.

A: There now is a solution to this: I have created Faviconographer, an app that will overlay Favicons for Safari tabs. It's still a workaround compared to a native Safari feature, but it works surprisingly well.
A: Safari 10.0.2: favicons are shown when pinning the tab.
This answers your original question, even though is not what you wanted to ask :)
A: As of Safari 12.0 it's now possible. In Preferences, you can now show favicon in the new Tabs settings:
Show website icons in tabs
A: As of Safari 8, favicons no longer show up on the tab bar, to my disappointment.
One solution is to use SafariStand & EasySIMBL. Once installed (see instructions on the SafariStand site), open the SafariStand settings and check "Show Icon on Tab Bar". This will return favicons to the tabs.
A: You can't. But a workaround is to use this Safari Extension to add emoji to the tabs instead of favicons. For a lot of popular sites there is an emoji that closely matches the favicon or brand!
A: Just use Glims and install it in "lite" mode.

Q: Can receive but cannot make outgoing calls on an iPhone 5S My iPhone 5s which I bought a year ago shows "Call Failed" whenever I hit "send", it doesn't matter which number I'm dialing. I can get incoming calls, FaceTime calls, messages, and apps are working fine. I placed my SIM in another device and mananged to make calls, and I tried putting another SIM in my iPhone, and once again got the instant "Call Failed" message.
Is this more likely to be a software problem or hardware? How can this be addressed?
A: This happened in my iPhone 4S since one of iOS 7 updates, sent many messages on Apple's contact form, no answer and no fix to date with the latest iOS 8.3, I temporary fix it by dialing *#31#.
It shows a message "Setting Interrogation Succeeded, Calling Line ID Restriction Disabled" and then can call normally.

Q: How to prevent one app from saving/restoring any Saved State I want to turn off the restoring of an application window (in my case, iTerm).
How to turn it off, but just for this specific application ?
A: There is a specific command to prevent any app from saving state, rather than just locking the state folder…
defaults write com.apple.Preview NSQuitAlwaysKeepsWindows -bool false
If you don't want a permanent switch, just to prevent it on one single occasion, then deleting/moving the Saved State folder in ~/Library/Saved Application State/ would be the simplest.

If you don't want a permanent switch, just to prevent it on one single occasion, then deleting/moving the Saved State folder in ~/Library/Saved Application State/ would be the simplest.
A: You could try modifying the permissions on the saved state folder so it cannot be written to.
Take Preview.app for example.
Open Terminal.app from the Utilities folder under Applications and enter:
sudo chmod 440 ~/Library/Saved Application State/com.apple.Preview.savedState/
So you will want to look in the your "~/Library/Saved Application State" folder for the path to the iTerm saved state and modify the command above accordingly.
A: I use RestoreMeNot for this purpose. It adds a prefpane where you can toggle restoration on a per app basis.

Q: Talking clock in a different language I've got my Mac speaking me the time every hour, but I'm currently trying to learn French so I thought it would be a good idea to make it speak the time in French.
However, rather than saying "Il est 11 heures." she says "It's 11 hours." (in a lovely French accent).
Is it possible to make her actually speak French?
A: How did you set up the system to say the time?
I set it up as follows:
System Preferences --> Dictation & Speech --> Text to Speech --> Customize --> Add a French voice. It took some time to download.
And then on the command line:
$ export LANG=fr_FR
$ say `date`
This works for me.
What might work in the GUI is to set the date format to French:
System Preferences --> Language & Region --> Advanced --> Format Language - French
As you can see in the screenshots below, this changes the date and format only, not the entire language of the system.

As you can see in the screenshots below, this changes the date and format only, not the entire language of the system.
A: It works by replacing the files of an english SpeechVoice folder by the french SpeechVoice counterparts - so to say using an english hull and fill it with french content - and some further adjustments:
I have done the following as root user.
Download your preferred french voice. Un-tick all voices you don't want to download.
Make a backup copy of an english voice (accidentally I also d/led Fiona) with Terminal.app or make a copy with the Finder and rename the folders adequately:
cp -R /System/Library/Speech/Voices/Fiona.SpeechVoice /System/Library/Speech/Voices/Fiona.SpeechVoice.backup
Also make a backup copy of the french voice:
cp -R /System/Library/Speech/Voices/Aurelie.SpeechVoice /System/Library/Speech/Voices/Aurelie.SpeechVoice.backup
Now move the content of Aurelie.SpeechVoice.backup to the respective folder(s) in /System/Library/Speech/Voices/Fiona.SpeechVoice
Then open /System/Library/Speech/Voices/Fiona.SpeechVoice/Contents/Info.plist (which is in fact the moved Info.plist of Aurelie)
and /System/Library/Speech/Voices/Fiona.SpeechVoice.backup/Contents/Info.plist with a text editor.
Replace the strings of the following keys in the file /System/Library/Speech/Voices/Fiona.SpeechVoice/Contents/Info.plist by the strings of the english original (I don't know if this is really necessary - I just did it):
*
*CFBundleIdentifier
*CFBundleName
*SUTagName
*VoiceLocaleIdentifier
*VoiceName
*VoiceNameRoot
*VoiceNumericID
Save the the Info.plist, quit all apps, delete the now empty folder Aurelie.SpeechVoice.backup (and all other unwanted SpeechVoice folders), log-out root, log-in to your common account and disable root (for security reasons).
In System Preferences open Date & Time -> Clock -> Customize Voice and choose the "doctored" english voice. Keep all other speech/language/region settings like they are (some uk-english probably ;-)).
The only cave-eat: Sometimes - or always and the VM in which I tested the modification just skipped the beginning - the voice says "It's dix heures quarante cinq" instead of "Il'est (or C'est?) dix heures quarante cinq".

Q: How to show vi mode in bash? I'm on Yosemite, using vi mode in bash (set -o vi in .bash_profile) and I want to have the prompt indicate if I'm in edit or command mode. I looked around and found that this feature has been implemented in bash 4.3 (see https://unix.stackexchange.com/a/116385/46076) and can be turned on by setting the variable show-mode-in-prompt to on. I installed bash 4.3 using homebrew following these instructions. Now, when I execute bash --version I see GNU bash, version 4.3.33(1)-release (x86_64-apple-darwin14.1.0) and brew info readline returns readline: stable 6.3.8 (bottled) so it looks like I'm using the correct versions. However, when I execute set show-mode-in-prompt on or add it to ~/.inputrc based on the readline manual, the prompt still doesn't change based on the vi mode. What am I doing wrong?
A: Looks like I didn't do anything wrong and an additional reboot is all that was needed.

A: put bind 'set show-mode-in-prompt on' into bash_profile ;) don't thanks me.

Q: Macbook Volume Control Not Working When I press the volume button (F11 and F12) nothing happens. Also the mute button (F10) doesn't work. I tried resetting my computer. Plugging in and out my headphones. Nothing worked.
A: Resetting NVRAM worked for me as shown here.
*
*Shut down your Mac.
*Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command (⌘), Option, P,
and R. Turn on your Mac.
*Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys immediately after you
hear the startup sound.
*Hold these keys until the computer restarts and you hear the startup
sound for a second time.
*Release the keys.
One additional step that I had to perform to get it to work is just go back to System Preferences -> Audio.

A: I had a similar issue today and realized that I was using a monitor via my display port. It turned out that the monitor has an audio port and so upon connecting the monitor, my Mac thought to send the sound to the monitor, which I do not have speakers for. I just needed to go into Sound and selected Internal Speakers to resolve the issue.
A: This happens to me all the time. I often switch audio device's for pro audio, but it also happens other times using different applications.
*
*Open Terminal (Utilities)
*Enter "killall coreaudiod"
*Enter your user/admin password
Your volume controls should be working now. I've reset my NVRAM and PRAM, as well as repaired disk permissions, yet still have to do this quite often.
** Running this command while playing audio/visual via web browser has caused the command not to work and/or the browser crashing, most of the time it doesn't though.
A: If your having trouble with your volume and brightness buttons, instead of pressing the buttons by themselves, hold down the FN button first, and proceed to press the volume up/down, or brightness buttons, and it should work fine :)

However, I think there is no good answer to this topic, since pgfplots is not already installed so not only a .sty file problem, like Alan writes there.
I am trying to run this script here but get the error about the missing pgfplots, after the generation of the Liste.dat:
I run ls /usr/local/texlive/2014/texmf-dist/scripts/pgfplots/ and get
matlab2pgfplots.m pgf2pdf.sh matlab2pgfplots.sh pgfplots.py.
This suggests me that have the command but the error is internal in pgfplots.
I reinstall the system and run the command sudo tlmgr install --reinstall pgfplots but I get the some error message as above.
How can you install pgfplots in OSX Yosemite?
A: pgfplots is available as part of MacTeX:
To forcefully reinstall it from the command line, you can use
sudo tlmgr install --reinstall pgfplots

Q: How to force Mac (Yosemite) to use USB Bluetooth instead of internal? I'm on an older Mac Pro, and I bought the ASUS USB-BT400 so that I can use Yosemite's Handoff feature. The problem is, I don't know how to disable the internal Bluetooth and force my machine to use the USB Bluetooth instead. I searched around but didn't find anything that worked.
A: To force your system to use an external Bluetooth controller instead of the internal one, open Terminal and type:
sudo nvram bluetoothHostControllerSwitchBehavior=always
then reboot. To revert to the default OS X behavior, type:
sudo nvram -d bluetoothHostControllerSwitchBehavior
You may need to turn off (or un-pair) Bluetooth accessories that are currently using your internal Bluetooth controller, as they can prevent the dongle from being detected by the Continuity Activation Tool.

Q: VLC player does not remember last played position I have been using MplayerX and recently thought of trying out VLC for watching movies. I noticed that the VLC player does not remember the last played position of the video. If I quit VLC and play the same video again, it plays it from the beginning.
Is this feature not provided by VLC? If not, is there any workaround to get this working?
A: The current, stable releases of VLC don't offer this. However, you can go to the VLC nightly build site to download the latest version of VLC 3, with an updated Yosemite interface and H.265 support. Most importantly for you, though, they have added resume support.
From http://nightlies.videolan.org, you just have to click on Mac OS X Intel, and then click on "last" in the list.
VLC nightlies have no support from the VideoLAN team, so you have to be careful. However, in my experience, VLC 3.0 has been pretty stable.

A: There is a plugin available called VLC srpos that will save and restore the playback position of the last played files. It is available here. There are numerous threads on this subject, I came across the plugin on the VLC forum, using a well-known search engine ;-)
A: I can confirm "kilometers" answer. To configure that option, you have to change to the "Advanced/All" settings, and then it is located in "Interface-->Main Interfaces-->QT-->Continue playback?"

Q: System partially frozen: cannot alt-tab or force-quit, but can login over AFP... how to fix without hard reboot? So I was using Safari on my Mac Pro and randomly, for the first time ever, the system became unresponsive, except I can still move the mouse cursor (which is stuck as an I-beam), and I can login to the machine over AFP, browse its drives, etc.
I prefer not to hard reboot my computer. But I cannot alt-tab out of Safari, I cannot force-quit Safari, and I cannot click on any menus or use the Dock. Which is odd because I can still move the mouse cursor.
This is a really weird type of freeze I've never seen before. This machine has been working flawlessly for five years.
Since I was able to login over AFP, is there anything that I can do to resolve this without hard-rebooting the Mac Pro?
Note: I unplugged all USB, DVI, and FW devices (except my TimeMachine drive) and plugged them back in, to no avail.

Q: Can't update Java due to apparently newer version already installed I'm trying to update Java on my MacBook (OS X 10.9.5). When I download the most resent version (v8 update 40) from java.com and try to install it, it pops up an error box saying
You are trying to install 1.8.40.27, however 14.9.0 is already installed
and that's it. In a terminal I get
java -version
java version "1.6.0_65"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_65-b14-462-11M4609)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 20.65-b04-462, mixed mode)
But Firefox → Tools → Add-ons shows Java 14.9.0 (and says it's outdated), though there is no option to de-install it.
So, how can I install the most recent Java 8.40? How can I uninstall this mysterious Java 14.9.0?
A: According to apple.discussions.com the install of Java8 should work after removing an older Java plugin with the following command:
sudo rm -fr /Library/Internet\ Plug-Ins/JavaAppletPlugin.plugin

Q: Force a 5 GHz connection on an iPhone 5s My wife and I both have 5s and both connect to BT Home Hub on default settings. Through the hub I can see she is connected using 5 GHz but I am connected using 2.4 GHz. How can I make mine use 5 GHz, at least as a preference?
A: iOS decides automatically whether 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz connection is best if an access point supports both.
You can change your BT Home Hub settings to broadcast two separate access points. Open the hub settings → Advanced Settings → Wireless → 5 GHz Wireless and disable “Sync with 2.4 GHz”.
This allows you to specifically connect to two separate access points depending on whether you wish to connect over 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz.

Q: Is there a way to make iPhone forget the data belonging to one app? I recently downloaded an app (Rival Knights) which I already had on my iPad, but not on my phone. It gave me the option to write over my saved data and I declined. However now, I've changed my mind and want to start again.
I've tried deleting and re-installing the app, completely resetting my iPhone, deleting the app from my game centre, and making a new apple ID, however none of these have worked.
Is there any other way I can make my phone forget the app so I have a chance of starting again?
A: Many apps store data in the iOS Keychain. If the app is deleted the information from the Keychain is NOT deleted from the device. Generally, information such as login info, token, etc. is stored in the Keychain, but nothing prevents the developer from storing other arbitrary data there.
The only way to get around this is to use the Settings to reset the phone data or do a factory reset of the device.

The only way to get around this is to use the Settings to reset the phone data or do a factory reset of the device.
A: If you delete the app, all the data from that app gets deleted.
That is how the phone forgets that app.
If the app uses Game Center or another log in to retrieve game state from servers online, then you'll need to temporarily sign out of Game Center and possibly iCloud to remove those files from the phone as well.
I'd start by signing out of Game Center and delete/reinstall the game.
If that doesn't work, you can either check the specific game / contact that developer and/or sign out of iCloud documents or inspect that data store to see if that game has cloud files.
Once you have a clean start, you will know how to force a change to the cloud to reset the progress to be new.
A: I had a similar issue on my iPad. I think I fixed it!
I wanted to reset the game and realised simply reinstalling the game from the App Store didn't mean starting new game. Here's what I did.
*
*Delete Rival Knights app.
*Reinstall the Rival Knight app from App Store
*Go to iCloud > Storage > Manage Storage > Backups (at the top)
*Tap This iPad (or iPad name) > Backup Options
*Tap 'Show All Apps' in Backup Options
*There is then a list of the apps on your device and the option to switch off the data back up for individual apps. Find Rival Knight app and you can switch off the data back up.
*A pop up window asks "Do You Want to Turn off Rival Knights Backups and Delete the Data from iCloud?" Choose "Delete."
*Go back to your home screen and play Rival Knights, you will be playing a brand new game!

Is this a known bug? How can this be fixed?
A: The issue should have been resolved, try updating to the latest iOS version in Settings or restarting your device.

Q: What app is this icon with a square and a black triangle? I've seen this icon in a tutorial I watched on YouTube. What app is this icon?
Have searched through Google Images but found nothing.
A: That is the icon for AirPlay, by Apple, and that menu bar item allows you to control the streaming/mirroring of content on your Mac to an Apple TV or other AirPlay server.
Turning AirPlay Mirroring on and off
If your Mac supports using your Apple TV as a display, an AirPlay menu appears in the menu bar when an Apple TV is on the same network. The AirPlay Mirroring menu icon turns blue when AirPlay Mirroring is on ().

Q: Any way to auto download or sync all Google+ photos to my Mac? Is there any way to automatically download or sync all photos backed up from my phone to Google+ to my Mac?
I know there is an upload tool, but I want the reverse.
Can they be viewed from Picasa somehow?
A: You can download all Google+ photos in one go using Google Takeout.
| Q: Any way to auto download or sync all Google+ photos to my Mac? Is there any way to automatically download or sync all photos backed up from my phone to Google+ to my Mac?
I know there is an upload tool, but I want the reverse.
Can they be viewed from Picasa somehow?
A: You can download all Google+ photos in one go using Google Takeout.
A: The solution by Johnathon Sullinger has caused photos to sync using Google Drive, which counts towards your 15GB limit. Ended up having to delete and re-upload using photos. So sync cannot work both ways without counting towards drive storage limits as far as I can tell.
Also, at this point in time, Google Photos only end up there if you give permissions from both accounts, which you wouldn't want unless you're only uploading from Google Photos.
A: You can automatically download your photos from Google Photos (I believe Google+ photos end up there, correct me if I'm wrong) fairly easily. It requires a few different steps to get it set up though. Once it's setup, the sync is done for you.
*
*First you have to install the Google Photos Uploader for OS X.
*Next you have to install the Google Drive sync app to sync your Google Drive on your Mac.
*Next open Google Photos via your browser and go to settings. From within settings, enable the Google Drive option.
*Open Google Drive from your browser and select the Google Photos option. Ensure the settings pane for Google Photos on Google Drive has the Create Google Photos folder enabled.
*Lastly, ensure the newly created Google Photos folder in your Google Drive is selected on your Mac's Google Drive settings for sync.
At this point, your photos will sync from your mobile device and desktop to Google Photos, be linked to Google Drive, and sync back down to your desktop for you to pull in to what ever app you want.
Note, as pointed out by @Jer, this will count against your Google Drive storage whereas if you just stored them in Google Photos, you can make use of the unlimited storage. I pay $10 a mo/ for 1TB of Google Drive storage and this works great. I organize all my photos into subdirectories, tag them and manage them via Adobe Lightroom, with Google Drive automatically syncing them to Google Photos on my phone. It also lets me easily select a folder I've organized via Lightroom and share it with other people via Google Drive, instead of having to build out albums and share via Photos.
A: Starting July 10, 2019, Google Photos and Google Drive will no longer automatically sync. We’re making this change to simplify how things work between the two services. You can read more about the changes in our blog post.
(https://support.google.com/photos/answer/9316089)
A: Here are the facts... it IS bi-directional, and it does NOT count against your Google Drive storage if you are syncing to/from Google Photos and not simply uploading photos into a random folder.
If I take a picture on my camera, it automatically uploads to Google photos once I'm on wifi. It automatically shows up in my "Google Photos" folder on Drive, AND it shows in my offline Google Drive's "Google Photos" folder on my Mac.
If I drag a photo into my offline Google Drive "Google Photos" folder on my Mac, it automatically uploads to sync with my Google Drive "Google Photos" folder in the cloud, and it shows up in Google Photos online.
And my Google Drive shows that I've used "5.2 GB of 15 GB" allotted storage, but my Google Photos folder contains about 86GB (yes, eighty-six).
If you set it up right, this is how it works.
A: Google+ Auto Backup for MAC. I have been running it on my MAC with current OS and it works well.
A: I just did this:
FIRST, create a folder on your desktop and name it (mine is "G+ Pix"). You will need this folder for step #5.
1) Open Google+ Photos to see your list of pix. Select the group of pictures you want to export by clicking on the check mark in the upper left hand corner of the pic. Using the "shift" key on your keyboard helps you do multiple selections at one time. These pix will remain in G+, because you are downloading copies of the pix. I selected by date in order to keep the download times manageable. It was easier to keep track of what I had selected, also. I had 900 pix to move!!!
2) Select the download button found with an underscored arrow at top right of the Google+ menu bar.
3) You will see this group of photos being downloaded as "Photos.zip" in your download
menu at the top right of your MAC screen.
4) When download is complete, the file will read "Photos" with a blue folder to the left of it. This downloading process can take awhile, depending on the number of pix you export and the level of picture quality you determined when sending pix to G+, initially.
5) Double-click this file and your pix will appear in list form. Highlight this entire list by using the "shift" key on your keyboard for multiple selections, and move the list to your designated folder on your desktop. From this desktop folder, you can now manipulate them as your please.
Multiple Selection Tip
Select first picture
Hold down "Shift" key as you selected last picture.
All items should now be blue and will transfer as one group by holding down the curser on the list as you slide them to the desktop folder.
Anyway, this worked perfectly for me. You have to play the game, man! Ugh!
A: Google has purposely blocked this by not releasing bio direction sync on any platform even the phones wont sync downloads they just show up in the viewer and you have to select them to download a copy to your phone. Google photos is for auto upload only not auto download.
Until people demand this service and another vendor provides it google will never allow it.
The other solution is to install a android emulator, install google photos and click on the photos you want to download. Not sure if a emu exists on the mac tho.

Q: How to take screenshot in Boot Camp? I have MacBook Pro Retina running Windows 8.1. I do not have a PrtScr key. Also, shift+fn+f11 key combination doesn't work. What is the shortcut to take screenshots?
A: Use the Snipping Tool that ships with Windows, it's made for that exact purpose. The Windows help page is here, info found using this search tool ;-)
| Q: How to take screenshot in Boot Camp? I have MacBook Pro Retina running Windows 8.1. I do not have a PrtScr key. Also, shift+fn+f11 key combination doesn't work. What is the shortcut to take screenshots?
A: Use the Snipping Tool that ships with Windows, it's made for that exact purpose. The Windows help page is here, info found using this search tool ;-)
A: ⇧ shift+fn+F11 is the correct keyboard shortcut to emulate a Print Screen in Windows, however this shortcut requires the Boot Camp drivers to be installed and be running in Windows. Make sure you have the drivers installed correctly and check whether the keyboard is configured to require fn in Boot Camp Control Panel.
A: If you hear the click sound when taking a screen shot the the shot has been taken and it is in your Clipboard.
To get it, open any application (like paint or other) and use the "Paste command" to see it/modify and save as a file in a location of your choosing.
A: The fn+option+shift+F11 (and also fn+shift+F11) will only work if you have the following setting in Boot Camp Control Panel turned off (untick the checkbox):
Keyboard tab > Use all F1, F2, etc. keys as standard function keys
Extra tip:
fn+shift+F11 = Captures the full screen
fn+option+shift+F11 = Captures the current active window
A: now win10 support shift+win+s hotkey to take a screenshot, I give up this task by using touch bar of windows in macbook.
A: I just messed around using Bootcamp Windows 10 on Mac laptop, the issue is not the control, it is the setup:
First, set up OneDrive
Press FnShiftF11P
Prompt will ask you if you want to save screenshots to OneDrive: Yes
For future screenshots use the original command of FnShiftF11

Q: "Add To Wish List" in the Mac App Store? Does anybody know if there is a way to "add to wish list" some apps at the Mac App Store and get noticed when their price drops just as in the iTunes Store?
Thanks in advance!
A: There is no default mac app store wish list, all though, there are some 3 party applications and websites that allow you do track apps prices and add them to a wishlist. One of them is: http://www.appshopper.com/.

Q: How to change display name on the iCloud email? My email is an iCloud email that ends in @me.com and my display name is incorrect.
I look at my apple ID account name and it is correct.
I look at my iCloud account and my name is correct.
But when I send emails it says an incorrect name.
Where can I change that?
A: After logging in to iCloud.com, click Mail, and then at the bottom-left of the screen click on the Settings (gear) icon. Click Preferences... in the pop-up menu. In the pop-up window, click Accounts then change Full Name to how you'd like your name to appear.
This will change the name that appears on emails you send through the iCloud.com website and the Mail app on OS X. If you are using another desktop mail client, you will need to configure that separately.

This will change the name that appears on emails you send through the iCloud.com website and the Mail app on OS X. If you are using another desktop mail client, you will need to configure that separately.
A: As of OS X 10.9.5, this can no longer be done through the Apple Mail on your desktop. Instead…
*
*Go to appleid.apple.com.
*Enter your iCloud email address in the Apple ID field.
*Enter your iCloud email Password in the Password field and click on the icon of the right-arrow.
NOTE: You MUST manually type in your password. Pasting the password will result in a bad ID/Password error.
A new screen will appear listing your current information.
*You want to change the information under Account. Locate ‘Account’ at the top of the screen. Scroll to the right of it and Click ‘Edit’.
*Edit the info shown in ‘Name’ to whatever you wish. Click ‘Done’ to Save your changes.
*The new name is instantly displayed at the top of the screen. All new emails will reflect the same change starting now.
A: I had this same issue, email was correct but display name was wrong. If I tried changing the display name in the mail app, the settings popup would just hang. I had to force quit the mail app.
*
*applied.apple.com was correct
*icloud.com email settings was correct
In fact, if I changed the name in applied.apple.com, it would show the change in the mac iCloud preferences but still not in the mail app.
To fix the issue, I had to delete the mail account, which, since it was the iCloud account, had to delete the iCloud account in preferences. After that was done, I re-added the mail account in the mail app which added the account in preferences and re-copied all mail/docs/reminders/etc and synced everything back again. Only this time the display name in the mail app was correct. And now new email has the right display name.
Now in the mail app accounts, the display name is grayed out whereas before, it would let me type over it even if it wouldn't actually save the changes. Now if I change the display name at applied.apple.com, it shows in the mail app account.
A: Changing my name in my iCloud account didn't fix the problem for me as it still read incorrectly via email. I actually had to change it on my phone:
Settings > iCloud > Mail and change the name.
A: I had the same problem. Changing my name in the methods mentioned above did not solve the problem. Emails would still be sent with the old name but only from devices where I had set up with the old name.
The solution was to go to Settings > [Your Apple ID] > iCloud Mail.
You'll notice you still have the old name under the "ICLOUD ACCOUNT INFORMATION" section. Update it here and it should solve the problem.

Q: Disk Utility message "Updating boot support partitions for the volume as required" Finder crashed on a external drive which caused an abrupt eject. I rand Disk Utility over the drive and the operation finished with the message:
Updating boot support partitions for the volume as required
Its a FAT32 partition, it already existed, and it was not bootable so its not clear to me what required updating.
What does the message "Updating boot support partitions for the volume as required" mean? Or how can I determine the changes were made?
A: The message from Disk Utility is simply there to tell you it's checking the hidden EFI partition (if present) and updating as necessary. In your case it won't be necessary so nothing will be updated.
Disk Utility performs this extra step if you run a disk repair on a parent disk rather than on one of the partitions within that disk.

Q: How to be notified only once for new Gmail emails? I've just moved from Android to iPhone and I'm struggling to configure my Gmail notifications to work in the same way.
On Android, I had it configured so that I didn't receive further notifications until I dismissed the previous one. If there was more than one unread email, the icon would be a multiple-envelope symbol (otherwise it was a single envelope).
In case that wasn't clear, here's a little timeline of events for my Android Gmail app:
Email arrives --> Notification!
Email arrives
Email arrives
<clear notifications>
Email arrives --> Notification!
Email arrives
Using the Gmail app on my iPhone 6, I am notified about every email that arrives. Is there any way to replicate the behaviour I enjoyed on my Android phone?
Looking in the settings on the GMail app, I notice the Notifications section only has two options: All New Emails or None. So I'm not holding out too much hope here...

Q: How do WWDC presenters paste text during demos? During demos in the WWDC videos, the presenter will often paste code into Xcode to save having to type it in. How are they pasting each different snippet without switching to another app to copy it?
A: Apple used custom code called "Demo Monkey" whose source code is available on GitHub.

A: You can create custom Xcode snippets. Snippets can include from one method to whole program.
Check this article on NSHipster, for me is one of the best explanations of this that I found.
A: They could be using an app that binds keyboard shortcuts to multiple clipboards, such as CopyClip.

Q: Different "Preferred Networks" for different Network "Location" The question is: can I have different "Preferred Networks" when switching from one to another Network "Location"?
This issue has been discussed before at Ask Different: Can't I use different WiFi networks for different Locations?. However, I do not like a solution that ought to use some external App.
I would appreciate any comment! Thanks!
A: Each of your Locations will show WiFi.
To differentiate by location you have to rename them.
To do that click on the Gear box icon at the bottom of the location screen and choose rename service.
Now you can get creative in naming the service to your liking in each of the Locations. The WiFi function will remain.

Q: How to disable spotlight for Alfred I use Alfred instead of spotlight but sometimes I accidentally press cmd + space( Spotlight Shortcut ) instead of double shift( Alfred Shortcut ). I want to disable Spotlight( shortcut + not run it in background as well ) so might not open it. Also, does Alfred use spotlight file indexing if yes then I might not want to disable that but if no I would like to disable that as well.
A: In the "System Preferences" app select "Spotlight" from the top row. Now, uncheck the box titled "Spotlight search keyboard shortcut:"
I set the Alfred keyboard shortcut to Command-Space, which works a bit like Alfred on stock Yosemite machines.
If you want to keep the ability to search Spotlight with a keyboard shortcut, you could also change the shortcut using the popup menu to the right of the checkbox.

Q: How to set a Calendar alert for AFTER completion of an event? I would like to set calendar alerts to happen at the scheduled completion time of my events - whatever that may be. I can't seem to figure out a way to do this. You can create alarms that go off before an event starts, at the start time, or a fixed number of minutes after start time. But is there a way to set an alarm that triggers AT OR AFTER the completion time of an event, without having to specify the exact date & time?
A: Just enter an alert at a customized time (which is equal to end of the event).
This works for iCal 5 (Mac OS X 10.7):
and also for iCal 7 (Mac OS X 10.9). It looks a bit different though:

A: It seems possible now to add an additional alert and choose a time after the event's start time. So if you need to pickup your kids after a 2hr game, and it takes 20mins to get there, under custom alert choose 100 minutes after
A: Well there doesn't appear to be any actual proper solution to this, so I have resorted to simply putting an alert in at the pre-set duration of the event. Definitely not what I was hoping for but... it's the best that I could come up with. This gets me an alert at the end of the time block, but unfortunately won't automatically adjust if I alter the duration of a block.

Q: Upgrade from 10.4.11 to 10.9 on a Mac Pro I have an old Mac Pro with the following serial number G87391T6UPZ. Can I upgrade this computer to 10.9 or 10.10?
I can't seem to find an official website that tells me 'yes' or 'no'. It runs on a 2.66 Ghz Quad-Core Intel Xeon. There was a website that mentioned early 2008 and up can upgrade. But not sure when this was made...
Edit:
It says it is MacPro 1,1
A: There is only one available 2.66 GHZ Quad-Core Intel Xeon Mac Pro, which actually is powered by two 2.66 GHz dual core Intel Xeon 5150 processors: MacPro1,1
The maximum OS is Mac OS X 10.7.5, if the RAM was upgraded to at least 2 GB.

The maximum OS is Mac OS X 10.7.5, if the RAM was upgraded to at least 2 GB.
A: It is possible to upgraded a MacPro1,1 to Yosemite, but it is a bit of work and not perfect. You will have to add a third-party new boot loader software, and most likely upgrade the graphics card. A number of OS X -- mostly minor -- features will not be available.
This is almost like building a Hackintosh, but Apple will not consider you as violating OS X's license.
For full details see: http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=1740775
Remember, the setup could break when ever you do a minor system update. So you would want to carefully research an upgrade from 10.10.1 to 10.10.2
A: Your "G5" is actually a Mac Pro, judging from your serial number (VERY useful info, thanks) according to appleserialnumberinfo.com, link here.
Assuming the info is correct, yes you can upgrade to the current OS X, Yosemite. The best way to check is to go to About This Mac from the Apple menu, and select the More Info option. In Hardware Overview you will find a model number. If yours is MacPro 3,1 then it will support Yosemite.
Bear in mind you'll want upwards of 4GB RAM (8GB or more, ideally) if you want to get the most out of both the hardware and OS.
Edit - As klanomath points out, it looks like your Mac Pro is more likely to be a Mac Pro 1,1 - given the CPU configuration - and so your OS ceiling will be 10.7.5
A: I don't have sufficient to add comment so I'll add an answer:
"OBS, Mac Pro" on Apple's web site means it's the original Mac Pro released in 2006, this is the official name used by AppleCare and GSX.
As such, the officially supported OS X version for the Mac Pro is 10.7.5.
Unofficially, this Mac Pro can be hacked to run later OS X given a proper graphic card upgrade.

Q: How do I open a new Terminal window in the same directory as the current window When I have a Terminal window open, ⌘N opens a new one.
Is there any way to get the current directory in the new window to automatically be the same as it was on the window where I pressed ⌘N?
A: The problem is that Terminal doesn't know anything about what directory you're in.
But the shell does! So you can type:
open -a /Applications/Utilities/Terminal.app .
and it will open a new window on your current directory.
If you want to do this a lot, put the following in ~/.bashrc:
alias openhere='open -a /Applications/Utilities/Terminal.app .'
Then, all you will have to type is openhere to do the same thing.

and I need this in my .zshrc
# http://superuser.com/a/315029/4952
# Set Apple Terminal.app to resume directory... still necessary 2018-10-26
if [[ $TERM_PROGRAM == "Apple_Terminal" ]] && [[ -z "$INSIDE_EMACS" ]] {
function chpwd {
local SEARCH=' '
local REPLACE='%20'
local PWD_URL="file://$HOSTNAME${PWD//$SEARCH/$REPLACE}"
printf '\e]7;%s\a' "$PWD_URL"
}
chpwd
}
I've tried without one or the other to no avail.
A: To accomplish this within a new window, go to Preferences within Terminal.app.
Within the General tab, you can adjust the behavior (you likely want to select Same Working Directory) for both new windows and new tabs.
A: If you hit ⌘T in the Terminal, it will open another tab, which will be in the same directory as before :-).
You can easily switch between the tabs using keyboard shortcuts too like
- ⌘-Shift-[ and ⌘-Shift-]
Enjoy!

Q: Hide the menu bar in Yosemite Is it possible to completely hide the menu bar on an external monitor? I'm using my laptop with a projector, and while I can set the desktop background to completely black, the menu bar is still there. Even in dark mode there is still text. I would like to avoid showing any desktop UI if the presentation (Keynote) exits.
A: I think it's possibly 'Displays have separate Spaces' in System Prefs > Mission Control.
I've had that switched off since it was added to prefs, & only have a menu bar on my main monitor.
I don't want to switch it back to test, it messes things up ;-)

Q: Exchange Delegate Mailbox in Mail.app Currently I am running Yosemite, I am trying to ascertain if it's possible to add a delegate mailbox to the mail.app. As of yet I have been unable to do so. Unfortunately I cannot have this particular mailbox as another account as it doesn't have the ability to be logged into.
Thanks,
Brendan
A: I do believe that Mail.app does not have the ability to log into a shared (group) mailbox as I do not believe it understands the things that Microsoft did (very strange and awful things...) to IMAP to get the functionality that they wanted in Outlook.
For that you will need a copy of Outlook for the Mac, it may be available in the App store. not sure if it is free or not...

A: It is possible and described by Apple in "Mail (Yosemite): Subscribe to public and shared mailboxes"
If you have an IMAP account that provides access to public or shared
mailboxes, you can subscribe to them.
*
*View account information for the
IMAP account that provides shared and public mailboxes.
*In the Account Info window, click Subscription List.
*In the list of available mailboxes, select the ones you want to
subscribe to, then click Subscribe.
To unsubscribe from one or more mailboxes, select the mailboxes in the
Mail sidebar, then click Unsubscribe.
A: Actually, the Accounts tab of Mail preferences has no hint of "Subscriptions" or delegation, and the gear icon at the bottom of the left pane in the GUI is now missing under Yosemite and El Capitan. The referral to the Account Info window under Yosemite in the link above is erroneous under 10.10.5.
A: Configure your main Exchange as an Exchange account in order to have all other associated services such as calendar, contacts , ... configured at once.
To access a delegate / shared mailbox add an IMAP account using these parameters as inspired by https://uit.stanford.edu/service/sharedemail/applemail
Whilst adding an IMAP account in Mail.app > Preferences > Accounts :
*
*Add Other Mail Account…:
*Setup step #2:
*
*Name: John Doe
*Email Address: [email protected]
*Password: yourPassword
If needed forcibly continue to next window by alt / option click Sign In button.
*On the next windows where IMAP and SMTP server fields are showing up:
*
*E-mail address: [email protected]
*User Name: [email protected]\shared_mailbox < That's the trick to remember
*Password: yourPassword
