A: Your account needs to have no money on it to change the region.
A: If you want to change it on your iPhone , try changing account settings then back to set the country and region. You can also change it on iTunes.
A: Try these steps.
*
*Click on settings icon in home page
*Go to itunes and app store
*Click on the part at the top
*Select view apple id
*Try changing it there.
If it still does not work, creating a new apple ID is really easy and takes no time at all. I would even suggest that you actually have two accounts, as some country's app stores has other apps that cannot be found on others. The apps are either country specific or just not yet accepted in certain countries. Therefore, the more accounts, the more available apps
A: Login to another iCloud acc and then log back in. It will set it to its default country unless the other account had the same country.

Q: Cross-browser colour issues See the 3 screenshots below. There are several different green hex values amongst them however the CSS is declaring the correct hex (#A0CB3C), and the image has no colour profile data attached (saved for web from Sketch3).
Chrome Firefox Safari
My iMac has no special colour calibration for the display, and no special colour settings set that I'm aware of.
The issue is persistent on all non-Apple browsers. i.e. the colours are consistent in Safari (although still incorrect, that's the last screenshot), in all other browsers the green used for CSS applied content is different to the green in images. The hex doesn't colour-pick correctly in any browser.
My colleague sat next to me with a near-identical setup does not have this issue. So it's clearly something specific to my machine.
Where do I start?

Q: Lync alternatives on Mac Is there a Lync alternative on a Mac such that I can still use my Microsoft contacts? Note that I desire to keep all my outlook contacts from Lync but simply using a different service to communicate with them. For example, if I could chat with my outlook contacts via iMessages, that would be ideal. However, if there is a 3rd party messaging service which will allow me to chat with outlook contacts, that will be good too.
A: I use Adium, there is an extension that lets you connect to Lync servers.
Protocol plugin for Office 365/Lync/OCS
works only with:
A third-party Pidgin/Adium/Miranda/Telepathy plugin for the extended
version of SIP/SIMPLE used by various products:
*
*Skype for Business
*Microsoft Office 365
*Microsoft Business Productivity Online Suite (BPOS)
*Microsoft Lync Server
*Microsoft Office Communications Server (OCS 2007/2007 R2)
*Microsoft Live Communications Server (LCS 2003/2005)
Once you have the Xtra installed, you can add your Lync account as an "Office Communicator" account.

Q: Why does Mac Yosemite open dozens and dozens of empty desktops? On 10.10.2, several times a day, I hit F3 ("Mission Control"?) to see all my windows, in order to quickly navigate to one.
And I notice empty desktops keep getting created:
I know I can hold down the option key, to get the X on each of them to more easily delete them one at a time. But this can still take a while. I've seen it get as high as 112! 112 empty desktops?!
Why are they created in the first place? Is it some keystroke I don't realize I'm hitting? Do they not consume system resources?
Can new desktops just be permanently disabled, leaving me only ever with desktops which actually correspond to my screen and two external monitors? (I've frankly never understood the point of virtual desktops anyway.)

Q: Google Hangouts client/app which supports group chats On OS X Yosemite, I'm using Messages.app to chat with my contacts.
But I can not participate or read group chats from Hangouts within Messages.app, for that I have to use the Gmail/G+ page.
So, anyone knows a client/app for OS X (or even an extension/plugin for Messages.app) which enables me to chat one-on-one and even on group chats?
A: Try Jitsi for OSX, it supposedly handles voice for Google Hangouts, but to be honest...
The best way I have found to do this is just to use the following Chrome extension called Hangouts, by Google: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/hangouts/nckgahadagoaajjgafhacjanaoiihapd?utm_source=plus
The thing is that Google Hangouts is no longer a open XMPP/Jabber protocol its sort of a mutant breed of this technology that is becoming more and more closed off providing features across more open traditional Jabber accounts.
The only caveat is that DON'T quit chrome or it dies, my default browser is Firefox fyi. So I run chrome, click the little hangouts bubble, close all the chrome windows and get the cool Hangouts buddy list every time I hover my mouse in the lower right corner of my screen: OSX Yosemite 10.10.4

Q: How to gain insight into spotlight index? I'd like to get a list of all indexed files and their path that spotlight came across. How would I do that ? mdutil does not seem to be of any help.
A: This command will list all files indexed by spotlight system:
mdfind "kMDItemDisplayName == '*'"
To store the output in a file:
mdfind "kMDItemDisplayName == '*'" > listOfFiles.txt

Q: How do I force macOS to always save file extension? When saving a file without an extension not even OS X is able to open that file anymore. Still it is very easy to accidentally save a file without an extension.
Example: When using Firefox and you save an image with the "Save image as..." context menu, the whole filename including the extension is marked for renaming and as soon as I entered a custom name the extension is gone and I have to reenter it.
How do I solve this problem?
A: Apparently this is the way Firefox handles the "Save as..." action. When using Chrome or Safari there is no issue.
There is a bug report since 2008, but the status is still 'NEW'.
The only solution I see at the moment is to select the name (unnamed.png) and only edit that part in the text area.

The only solution I see at the moment is to select the name (unnamed.png) and only edit that part in the text area.
A: You can hide common filename extensions, so in the save dialog no filename extension will be shown.
In a finder window, open preferences from Finder menu. Uncheck Show all filename extensions.
A: Another option...
Where the option exists to Save As you can always drag images directly to your desktop, or to a folder on your dock (assuming Firefox isn't running fullscreen). The dragged files are saved complete with their file extensions. This would offer an immediate workaround to your problem until Firefox's save behaviour is corrected, assuming the devs ever get around to fixing it...
A: Sadly in my opinion Apple went a little too far the other direction on this. When I try to save a .img file from a website, if I have "Show all file extensions" turned off in Finder> Preferences> Advanced, then it automatically renames the file with a .dmg extension, which is NOT the same thing and most applications that work with .img files don't understand or allow selecting a .dmg file in their file browser.
Luckily the fix is simply to check the box for "Show all file extensions" and then just make sure you don't remove an existing extension when downloading from a website, if a download doesn't have an extension, you can add .pdf as the Preview application can handle almost every type of text/image/pdf/video out there, and if it can't, then you probably need to use a command line tool like file to guess at the type of file it REALLY is. file --help in Terminal will get you started.
One thing to note is that file extensions are primarily for humans, computers can use "magic" file headers or a mime type examination to figure out what program can handle a file, but humans think we know best, which is why we want to manage or override "file handlers", but often things "just work" if we don't go messing with them too much.

Q: Is there a way to send Google Notifications to the Mac OS X Notification Center or to Growl? Is there a way to send Google Chrome Notifications (you know that annoying little bell in the menu bar) to the OS X Notification Center? Instead of receiving notifications in different positions and styles (native OS X Notifications, Growl, Chrome Notifications), I would like to see them in one place - the OS X Notification Center.
Is there an easy way to configure this, or a tool that can help with doing this?
Update
I've found Hiss, which allows to send Growl messages to the OS X Notification Center, which is great, since it minimizes the number of notification styles.
In addition to the question above, is there a way to send Chrome Notifications to Growl? That might allow to use Hiss to finally route them to the OS X Notification Center.
A: On Chrome 57 for the Mac, go to chrome://flags/ and find the Native Notifications settings, enable them and restart Chrome.

Q: Is there a way to force clockwise pane rotation in iTerm2 with the shortcut keys? I've often found that when using iTerm2, I'll have like 3 or 4 panes open in one tab. And the shortcut keys for moving between them Cmd + ] and Cmd + [ are very useful, but unpredictable. The reason is because "next" and "previous" panes are determined by the order in which panes had last focus. So if I have 4 panes open in a window shape, sometimes Cmd + [ may circle around them clockwise, sometimes counterclockwise, and sometimes neither. And I can't remember which pane had the 3rd last focus.
The problem is correctable by simply clicking on each pane in clockwise order and then using the shortcut keys, but this is kind of annoying to have to do each time.
Is there a setting where I can lock the shortcut keys into clockwise (and counterclockwise) rotation only?
A: I posted about this on the Google Groups for iTerm2. The program author has now added to the program the option to rotate clockwise.

Q: How do you remove icons from the Menu bar? How do you remove icons from the Menu bar?
I'm running OS X Yosemite and I tried Command + Click + Drag to get rid of them but it isn't working.
A: It depends which icons you are trying to remove. There are two types; software that uses the NSStatusItem API that Apple publicise for third party developers and software that uses their private undocumented NSMenuExta API.
The icons that represent operating system features can be removed by holding down the cmd ⌘ key and dragging them with the mouse. For example, the AirPlay, Time Machine, Bluetooth and Wi-Fi icons. These are implemented using NSMenuExtra.
Other icons, the ones that represent applications you may need to close the application to remove. For example, Dropbox and Plex. Apple provide NSStatusItem for developers to implement them, but unfortunately it doesn't provide all the features of NSMenuExtra, for example dragging to uninstall is only available through NSMenuExtra.

A: In a few cases, you can do this:
System Preferences > Users & Groups > Login Items
If the app that puts your troubling icon onto the menu bar is listed here, remove it. Then logout & back in.
A: I had the same problem where CMD+drag wouldn't remove an icon. I realized that Bartender app was causing this problem.
For anyone experiencing this issue (and using Bartender):
*
*Quit Bartender
*CMD + Drag any menu icon out of the menu
*Re-open Bartender

Q: Can iMac 5 (Retina 5k, 27-inch, Late 2014) be downgraded if it comes factory-installed with Yosemite? Has anyone downgraded an iMac 5 (Retina 5k, 27-inch, Late 2014) pre-installed with Yosemite to an older version of Mac OS?
My Pro Tools 10 does´t work with Yosemite. I have two days to resolve this, if not I have to return the computer.
I have tried it to downgrade and it appears this symbol:
If somebody has done the downgrade, please give a step-by-step solution.
A: It is impossible to downgrade this Mac to anything less than Yosemite - the hardware forbids it. You have proved this in practice by getting the No Boot sign.
As for Pro Tools: from the Avid site: Note: Pro Tools 10.x and earlier (including Pro Tools Express) will not be tested/qualified with Yosemite (or Mavericks).
You will have to upgrade your Pro Tools to version 11 if you want to use Yosemite.

You will have to upgrade your Pro Tools to version 11 if you want to use Yosemite.
A: Software can be downgraded only as far as the drivers will go. As the iMac 5k Retina has a rather fancy graphics card that likely didn't exist when they wrote Mavericks, it is highly unlikely you will get anything older to work on it.
So, here's what you do:
*
*Reinstall Yosemite using the Recovery Partition (or Internet recovery if you already broke the recovery partition)
One of:
*
*Upgrade Pro Tools to a Yosemite compatible version
*Get VMware Fusion and run Mavericks (and Pro Tools) in a virtual machine. Once you have started on this route you can also run pretty much any x86-compatible operating system all the way back to DOS 6. You will probably want more memory.

A: In your open/save window, press Cmd-Shift-G to open a window where you can paste the path.
This also works in Finder.

Q: What operating system was installed on the original Apple 1? I am trying to research how software enabled users to interact with the hardware on the original Apple.
What operating system was installed on the original Apple 1?
A: The original Apple 1 came with a 256 byte ROM containing Steve Wozniak's monitor program. This program allowed the user to inspect memory, write to memory and run programs. There was also a very basic line editor that permitted the use of backspace and escape keys.
The Woz Monitor
Apple 1 emulator in Javascript
If you want to try out the emulator, be aware that the Apple 1 does not have a power-on reset and requires the user to hit the ESC key to initialize the monitor.

A: According to Mactracker, it was "Apple Integer BASIC with optional Cassette Interface".
A: I used to own an Apple ][. It had floating-point BASIC installed in the upper 16kb of memory. "Booting" took maybe 1 second - flip the switch -> Beep -> it's ready.
If you bought a disk drive, the boot loader was in a 256 byte (bytes, singles, no M or k) ROM on the interface card. Apple DOS was written onto every floppy disk and took up about 10kb of RAM.
Some trivia for your project:
*
*The Apple ]['s documentation included a fold-out circuit diagram of the computer's electronics. Just in case you needed to repair it.
*The documentation also included the complete source code (6502 Assembler) of the operating system. Maybe 30 pages. Assembler at the time was a 1:1 representation of the machine code.
*I wrote Apple (on paper - no internet back then) asking for the Integer BASIC source code for comparison. They wrote back and said they would be happy to send it, but they don't have a copy. Wozniak apparently wrote Integer BASIC himself, compiled it with a pencil and the Motorola 6502 data sheet, and typed in the resulting hexadecimal opcodes by hand. All bow to the Greatness of The Woz.

Q: Adjust Scroll Speed for Specific Application I recently bought my self an external mouse for my MacBook Pro Retina. It's great except I have one difficulty. In Safari and most apps the scroll speed is fine. But in some applications, the scroll speed is uncontrollable. Is there an app that lets me change the scroll speed for specific applications or something like that?
A: I have found an app called Smart Scroll which does what I need it to do. It allows you to change scroll speed for specific apps and a lot more options in general

Q: Some Finder Sidebar Icons Missing? In the Finder windows, the iCloud Drive and Downloads icons are missing from my sidebar. I use CleanMyMac 2 could that have deleted the icons by mistake?
I have rebooted the icons are still gone.
![This is what it looks like.][1]
Yosemite 10.10.2 MacBook Pro (Retina, 13-inch, Mid 2014)
How can I get these icons back? Any idea what caused them to go away in the first place?
Update:
Can't I just drag the iCloud Drive icon into the info panel and change the icon like that? If so where can I find the original icon from?
A: This generally happens when you've used a utility that changes your sidebar icons to colorized versions. iCloud Drive and Downloads do not use the standard icon format. These products are based on a SIMBL plugin called ColorfulSidebar that does not recognize the non-standard format. Even if you've changed the icons back to the non-colorized versions, the routine that changes the icons may still be running. You have to totally disable the software that colorized the icons.

Q: What was the Mac that Ran 'System 1' I thought I was reasonably early to the party, but the first Mac I owned - an SE 30 - was running System 6.06 when I got it & after a brief foray with 6.06 we had 6.07 with actual multi-tasking…
…but what machine ran System 1?
…& was it even called that at the time?
A: Wikipedia to the rescue, they even have an article dedicated to System 1:
System 1, also known as Macintosh System Software was the original Macintosh operating system. It is a part of the Classic Mac OS family, and ran on the Motorola 68000 microprocessor. It was released on January 24, 1984 along with the original Macintosh and was replaced by System 1.1 on May 5, 1984.
and a lot more about all other releases.

Q: How can I open a Google Maps URL in Apple Maps? Is there a way for me to convert a Google Maps URL to an Apple Maps-friendly format so it opens in the correct place?
I might be in the minority, but where I am, Apple Maps offers vastly superior driving directions.
A: You can simply copy and paste an URL from Google Maps (either from sharing with the Google Maps app), paste it in the Apple Maps search bar and it will resolve the correct location.
Google Maps short URL (of the form goo.gl) won't work and will need expansion before proceeding.
I've created myself a Workflow (soon to be named Shortcuts in iOS 12) to expand the URL automatically. You can force-touch an URL going to Google Maps and use this Workflow with the Workflow share extension.

A: Not sure how you can do it in iOS, I can't find the equivalent command, but you can do it on the Google Maps web site in a browser then copy/paste the info to Apple Maps…
*
*go to Google maps in a browser
*search your desired location
*once that's found, right click the pin & select "What's here?"
*The latitude/longitude will then be shown in the info bar, top left
This can be copy/pasted to Apple Maps
A: Apparently, Google doesn't want you to switch apps. There seems not to be any easy way to export a location in a format that Apple Maps can read it. I also have been fiddling with it and I even tried to make a Workflow, but without success. In the end, I found two moderately easy ways to do it:
1. Without any third-party apps
Tap the "code+" to copy it to the clipboard.
Then go to Safari and paste that code to search it in Google. You should get a Google search results with a map at the top. Tap the map to open a full version of it and then you get normally formatted coordinates, that you can copy and paste into Apple Maps.
2. Using a third-party app as a quick bridge
An easier way to do it, but that's requires the eventual purchase of a third-party app, consists in using Opener. It's a small utility that allows us to choose which app will open a given URL. Having the app Opener installed, all you need to do is share in Google maps and select Opener.
It will give you an option to open that location in Apple Maps, or in other supported apps that you may have installed in your iPhone or iPad.
It's the easier easiest and quickest way I managed to do it in iOS.
A: I have been searching and there is no easy way to extract the coordinates or anything other than the a Google map URL from the iOS Google Maps app.
I have to think that it is on purpose.
The “easiest way” so far is to type by hand the coordinates (viewable but not copyable from the Google Maps app)

Q: How do i quickly silence all notifications except for ringer on an iPhone 6? Sometimes I'm on call for work overnight and would like to know a quick way that I can silence all notifications except for the call ringer. The closest thing I see is allowing calls from everyone on do not disturb but that will allow messages to ring as well.
A: Actually, Do Not Disturb is indeed your solution as it blocks ALL notifications EXCEPT the calls which you specifically allow. It will block message notifications.
After you have configured the settings in Settings -> Do Not Disturb, all you need to do to enable it is swipe up from the bottom of the screen and tap the moon icon.
You can configure it to only allow certain contact groups, favorites, all callers, and/or repeated calls.

A: You can also head to Settings->Sounds->Text Tone and set tone and vibration there. You can configure texts for no sound and/or no vibration. Similarly, you can allow ALL calls (from any number) to ring as you have set in Settings->Sounds->Ringtone
I was just dealing with the same issue as I expect and need to hear work calls (any number) but can't have my phone buzzing from a bunch of texts all the time.
A: Try and place your do not disturb button on, "ON" and that would just allow your phone to ring and will block all other incoming notifications.
I have iphone 7
A: With the 7/7 Plus you simply engage Do Not Disturb and select "Allow Calls" from "Everyone". Nice and easy.

Q: Use Retina resolution in Microsoft Remote Desktop I've been trying to set up my new MacBook Pro [with Retina display 2015 edition]. I use a lot of university software via Remote Desktop connection, it worked very well on my Acer laptop and it's vital that this staff works as good as on Windows machines.
The problem is that when I open the connection on MacBoook the display is not great - I can see pixels, just like my grandmas' TV from the 1970s. I tried with different resolution settings, still the same.
A: Click the Pencil [edit] Icon at the top of the main RDC window & set a higher remote screen resolution.
'Native' might be as good as it will let you have.
Scale content might not be good on a Retina screen - but it might appear quite small without it checked.
I have a feeling, which I'm unable to test, that it may be related to the maximum resolution of the remote machine's graphics, not the local - as you can always set the local machine to scale the remote's resolution to fit the local screen - e.g. for dual monitor remote, single monitor local.

A: I'm using "Microsoft Remote Desktop BETA" 10.2.3 https://rink.hockeyapp.net/apps/5e0c144289a51fca2d3bfa39ce7f2b06/ which has an option for retina display:
*
*right click the remote desktop connection > edit
*display > check "optimize for retina displays"
*Disconnect/reconnect to the machine. In my case I had to also reboot the remote machine but that may have been specific to my setup.
The windows 10 machine I remote into looks much better once I toggle this on.
Chris
A: Microsoft Remote Desktop doesn't support Retina throughput and scales the content by changing the resolution that is advertised. You can change this by setting the resolution of your display to a non-HiDPI resolution, such as literal 2880x1800, however everything will appear tiny unless you are able to directly set the HiDPI setting on the server which you are connecting to.
A: Here's something you might want to look at, as I have this issue connecting from my Win7 PC at work to some other PCs at work: Pixellated type.
It may be that cleartype is turned off for the RD session:
Right click on the desktop in the RD session and select Screen resolution. Then click on the "Make Text and other items larger or smaller" link and then the "Adjust ClearType text" link. There you can see if cleartype is off, if so check the "turn on cleartype" checkbox and go through the brief wizard (I usually just click next on each screen as the defaults are usually fine).
When you are done the type (at least) is much better.

Q: Erase certain messages in Messages on OS X I like having the Messages app on my Mac, but I have one problem: When I delete a message thread on my iPhone, it doesn't delete from my Mac. In other words, if I delete three messages from the same person, on my phone, I see the previous messages and the later messages but not those specific ones. But on my Mac, they're all still there. And I don't see a place to delete them on my Mac the same way you delete them on the phone.
A: Deleting messages on an iOS device doesn't delete them from any other device.
*
*You can remove message threads by clicking the × on the right of the contact.
*You can remove individual messages by right-clicking the message and selecting Delete.

A: There's an important detail missing in this answer, for those of you/us who are "click challenged". The menu shown above (Forward...,Copy, Delete...) only shows up if you are clicking in the correct part of the message. If you click over any of the words, you'll get a menu that looks like this
If you instead click on an area of the message that has NO words, you'll get the menu shown in grgarside's post above.
Happy deleting!
A: Hold control key while clicking on the message. Use the Delete option.
A: On El Capitan, when deleting Message Threads (All messages from a contact), hold the option key while clicking the X to avoid having to confirm deletion.

Q: How can I trouble shoot "Your message could not be sent. #### is not registered with iMessage"? I used to be able to send txt messages from my computer through the native messages app on iOS. I recently updated and now I'm not able to send txt from my computer.
When I updated my OS, it restarted and when the screen came back on, it asked me to log into my apple id. For some reason the internet wasn't working or it wasn't connecting to the network and so I skipped putting in my appleid credentials. I looked online for some answers, but nothing satisfactory. Help?
A: On your phone, go to Settings -> Messages -> Text Message Forwarding and make sure that "Text Messaging Forwarding" is turned on for your system.

Help?
A: On your phone, go to Settings -> Messages -> Text Message Forwarding and make sure that "Text Messaging Forwarding" is turned on for your system.
A: 2 possibilities…
*
*Check you are sending to their phone number, not Home, or email address etc & that that specific 'detail' has a 'speech bubble icon'
Check in your address book that you are by default sending to the address that has a 'speech bubble' in Contacts > [specific name]
sorry for all the blur…
it may be the default is the one with the grey star, but I'm not certain how you would change that
*On your Mac, Messages, make sure their contact 'banner' isn't in red - if so, you need to select, or even possibly re-select, the correct contact number/email etc
Additionally, make sure their phone number is listed as 'iPhone' in their Contact Card.
More blur…
A: For me, I needed to go into my iPhone's Settings > Messages and toggle iMessage OFF and then back on again. My mac then prompted me asking if I wanted to add my own iPhone's number for iMessage use ... I selected yes and bing.
A: On your phone: Under Settings > Messages, make sure you have "Send as SMS" turned on.
A: go to your address book and remove the 0 at the beginning of the number and replace with a +(Country code) in Australia for example it is +61 this fixed the issue for me

Q: OS X Lion Virtual Machine on Yosemite? I have a Mid-2014 MacBook Pro (Retina), running OS X Yosemite. I would like to run OS X Lion within a virtual machine.
Is this setup supported by Parallels/VirtualBox/VMware, even though this MacBook would not run Lion natively?
If so, how can I obtain a copy of Lion to install in the virtual machine? Would it help if I had access to a Mac Mini running Lion?
A: Lion works fine as virtual machine - as well as all Mac OS X' since Snow Leopard* - in all of the mentioned apps. VMware/Parallels usually offer a better system integration and better performance though - with the downside that they aren't available for free.
To get the OS X Lion installer, check your purchases in your App Store account. If you have downloaded it previously on the MacMini, it should be available there.
*: It's a bit tricky to install Yosemite in VirtualBox and performance is sluggish.

Q: How much space is left on my hard drive? Where do I have to go to find out how much space I have left on my hard drive?
As you can imagine from the question I am new to Apple and don't know where to look.
I used a program called "Cleanup" on my old Windows machine which did what the name says, great little program, is there anything similar for Apple, something which cleans up files like cache and cookies?
A: Menu > About this Mac
Then the Storage tab
For cleanup, CCleaner exists for Mac; there's also CleanMyDrive & a whole raft of others. I wouldn't particularly recommend any of them, as they've all been known to throw out the wrong bit, just like on Windows.

Q: Animation for charts in Keynote Does anyone know how to do the shrinking of chart animation in WWDC for the speed of swift?
A: Keynote '09 supports chart builds, where individual segments/series of a chart can be separated in a build and animated individually. You can select the chart builds along with the other builds in the Build selector.
You can find more information about creating a chart build in Keynote '09 in the Apple KB article:

Q: How to disable Command-Control-Power shortcut? I frequently use Command-Option-Power shortcut to send my Macbook to sleep (especially since closing the lid when I have external monitor doesn't trigger sleep).
Unfortunately, this shortcut is very similar to Command-Control-Power which invokes cold reset of my Mac. I quite often accidentally press Command-Control-Power instead of Command-Option-Power.
My question would be: is there a way to disable Command-Control-Power completely (i.e. just use long power button press when I want to do cold reset)?
A: Not easily. The keys trigger the SMC directly as far as I can discern, so you'd need to rewrite the firmware to make this change.
You can test this by powering off your Mac (or waiting until you next mistakenly command this) and hold the option key. While it's in the boot manager, only firmware is running and that key combination is effective.
I'm also not aware of any OS X modification that would allow this, but asking people that make and use Karabiner might yield either another opinion or confirmation that my estimate of the difficulty is correct.

Q: How do I get iTunes to play all music from a specific year? How do I select and then play all songs from release year? e.g. Play all music from 1969. Even better, play all rock genre music from 1969.
A: Use a Smart Playlist. These are playlists that are dynamic and can be built off filters on track metadata.
To create a new Smart Playlist select File > New > Smart Playlist... (or Opt-Cmd-N) and then set the following options to build a Smart Playlist that always contains all the tracks that are from 1969 in your library:
If you wanted to limit it to a specific genre from 1696 press the + button to add another filter criteria and pick a genre like so:
You can filter in all kinds of ways -- Smart Playlists are incredibly powerful.

Q: Windows appear in odd places in Yosemite Since upgrading to Yosemite when it came out, windows in different apps randomly appear in odd places - eg, not connected to their parents window. Here's the Chrome search bar:
Sometimes it's worse, sometimes it's better, but it's never 100% OK. This happens in multiple apps. Restarting the OS or the app does not help. How can I made windows appear in normal places again on Yosemite?
A: Might be worth trying to login as another user, either creating a new user, or using the guest account to see if it happens there also, if it does not. It would suggest the issue is with the preferences in your user account, especially if it only happens in some apps, you can look to clear their caches and preferences. However if it continues, I would suggest backup and reinstall the operating system.

Q: How can one get last wakeup from screen saver time on Mac OS One can use pmset -g log to get to the info about Wake and Start events of Mac OS. But pmset doesn't seem to make any special assertions to the log when system goes into screen saver mode, and what particularly of interest to me, when the screen saver quits.
What command or log file I can use to find out when the last wake from screen saver event occurred?
A: Your two filters to type in the Console log would be:
For screen saver activate: screenshot
For screen saver end: DidWake
Open the Console in the Utility folder and while having selected "all messages" type the above in the filter/search window.

A: I found the solution myself. All I need was to eject usb pen drive from mac's desktop. When the drive ejected, it became available in VirtualBox.
A: I had to eject my USB from the host OS (macOS) but I was also using a USB 3.0 so I had to:
*
*stop my VM
*select my VM from the master list
*Go to Setting > Setting > Ports > USB > USB 3.0
*Add my USB
A: The reason that it is grayed out is because it is in use by the host system. To be able to use it you need to:
*
*Eject the USB from the host system.
*Restart the VM
*Add the USB

Q: Using multiple calendars in OS X In System Preferences, there is an option to change calendars.
Does anyone know if it is possible to use multiple calendars simultaneously, for example Gregorian and Hebrew?
A: Those are the operating system calendars, and you can only use one at the time.
The Calendar.app allows you to have multiple calendars at once.

Q: What is nfsd on macOS? I have two questions regarding nfsd on OS X:
*
*What is managing the start/stop phase of this daemon? Launchd? It has an enable and disable mode, but I don't know what does this do.
*What is the default status of this service. Enabled or disabled? Should I leave it on disable if my /etc/exports file is empty?
A: nfsd is invoked by launchd while booting by the accompanying com.apple.nfsd.plist file in /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/.
As you can see close to the bottom of the following picture,
it's only kept alive, when /etc/exports exists. If the path doesn't exist, nfsd will not run.
So removing /etc/exports will disable nfsd temporarily until the path is recreated
or executing
launchctl unload -w /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.nfsd.plist
will disable it permanently - even after reinstating /etc/exports (not recommended).

Q: Using my own server instead of iCloud I am currently paying like a dollar a month for 20 GB iCloud storage, but I am just now building a new computer and am hoping to install an Amahi server on it so that I can have my own 'Dropbox' type of cloud access wherever I go.
Am I able to use a service like Amahi (or anything else) to redirect my iCloud backup from apple's servers to my own? Instead of paying $12 a year for 20 GB of storage, I could be paying no subscription for 3+ TB of space.
A: I found OwnCloud (and its successor nextCloud), which does at least appear to give the option to host your own cloud on your own server, that is to sync files across devices: desktop, Apple, Android etc.
It's open source and free, with iOS/Android apps around $1 USD / $0 USD respectively.
It has been thoroughly tested on many different architectures.

It's open source and free, with iOS/Android apps around $1 USD / $0 USD respectively.
It has been thoroughly tested on many different architectures.
A: Now with a fully vetted files app and new file sync provider API on macOS and iOS it’s much easier to bring whichever file storage solution you want. Automated device backup is still challenging, but ensuring your main file storage hit other accounts should let you ride the free iCloud tier for backups - especially if you can turn off categories you don’t need backed up to iCloud due to cost considerations.
In 2015 and the following couple years, it was much harder to avoid iCloud and then, the simplest way to accomplish equivalent functionality was to set up several things.
This isn't meant to be a full iCloud dopplegänger but instead to serve equivalent high level functions of iOS backup and iOS file sharing endpoint.
*
*Disable iCloud backups and instead back up to iTunes via WiFi.
*(optional) Set up a VPN profile on iOS to have the device be able to VPN in to the local WiFi while on the road.
*Set up WebDav server - optionally expose it to the internet with either a static IP address and/or one of the dynamic DNS services.
*(bonus) set up a cloud or single point backup so that the server is backed up offsite. Look at CrashPlan or Amazon's various storage options (glacier or S3 are written up in several places on the internet with "How To" and their new cloud drive offering might also work well)
This allows DropBox like file sharing over WebDav - your own personal cloud that is optionally backed up outside your house periodically (but not a true cloud where your iPhone could hit multiple storage tiers at once). You could then decide if backups while on the road are needed and set up/test the VPN access to iTunes for networked backups.
A: In a nutshell: No, you can't.
Apple uses proprietary protocols for iCloud access (both data and backup) so you can't just switch backends by redirecting some DNS entries. And as far as I know, nobody has reverse engineered the protocols yet (at least not the full set required to implement an alternative server-side solution).
A: Western Digital makes a NAS device that will automatically back up your iPhone photos to it's hard drive and act the same way as iCloud, but without a fee. Plus you will be hosting the data on your home network. check it out.
http://mycloud.com/
A: You can take a look at iCloud DNS Bypass... it connects to a remote server instead in between.. its not backup thing, but thought it might help..

Q: How can I prevent iTunes from auto starting when I plug in an iOS device? i know we already have topics about it, but i did not found my solution.
So i don't want to start iTunes, when i plug in iDevices. We have like 300 iPads, and i am using the configurator. iTunes still starting automatically, even when the Configurator is running.
I really don't want to turn off this settings under the iPad summary screen one by one. I have already turned off the autosync.
A: Run this command in a terminal to disable that behavior:
defaults write com.apple.iTunesHelper ignore-devices 1

picture source http://www.redmondpie.com/disable-automatic-itunes-launch-when-iphone-is-connected-to-windows-or-mac-how-to/
A: If the problem you're experiencing is that the iPad connections trigger a New iPad activation dialog, you can turn this off by typing this terminal command when iTunes is not running:
defaults write com.apple.iTunes StoreActivationMode -integer 1
You can turn on the new iPad Activation dialog with this command:
defaults delete com.apple.iTunes StoreActivationMode
Remember, iTunes cannot be running when either of these commands is run.

Q: Why does iBooks Author refuse to open .epub? I have an epub for a hundred-year-old book with the illustrations from the original missing, and no links from TOC to the appropriate places. Wanting to correct that, I tried to open it from iBooks Author 2.2. The pub is grayed out in the Open dialogue. If I select "all files," it is un-grayed, but either way, it cannot be selected.
I don't think the problem is DRM, because the file came from project Gutenberg. Also, Calibre allows me to convert to PDF and back, but the result still cannot be loaded. Talking New Media claims that this version of iBooks Author adds the ability to open these files.
The "advanced" option to "add to ibooks as proof" also won't open it. Experimenting, I created new epubs from several PDF originals with calibre, and it won't open those either.
A: iBooks Author only opens iBooks Author projects (.ibooks). You need to create a new iBooks Author file and import the ePub into it. Go to New → New from ePub file….

Q: Uninstall OS X Server completely in Yosemite I recently run the OS X Server app on Yosemite. Now each time I shutdown or restart my mac, it asking for administrator password. I don't want to run my MacBook Pro as a server. I ran this app just to test something, now I want to reset to the previous state. Now I feel that there are some daemon process running because of the server app, that slows down my laptop.

Q: Time Machine: What files and folders are affected when excluding System Files and Applications? When you put System Files and Applications in the exclusion list, it is not clear what specific files and folders are being concerned.
Is it just the /Applications and /System folders?
Are /private or /opt also excluded? How about /Library?
A: According to Apple
OS X system files include the System folder and the apps that come with your Mac, such as Safari, Mail, Messages, iTunes, Dashboard, and others.
I'd also like to see a complete list. Based on my own testing (on 10.11.1) I can confirm that /opt is not included and that not everything in /Applications is excluded.

Q: How to bring to front or order layers in Preview? I do a lot of selecting, copying, pasting, and moving around on a single image in Preview for Mac. But I'm having trouble ordering the layers of an image so that the layer I want visible is on top.
Is there any way to define layer order in Preview?
A: Since I don't have the option to move object back or front (Mavericks) the only walk around I've found is to mark the objects you want to move to front, delete them and do the Undo - this will render them as newly put object, which sets them in front. That's a bit easier than recreating them in the right order.

A: If understand you right, here is how I change the order of layers in Preview app.
*
*Select an object like an arrow or rectangle for example.
*Right click on selected object.
*Select an action from: "Bring Forward", "Bring to Front", "Send Backward", "Send to Back".
A: I was able to copy to the front by holding down "option" and dragging the image. Hope this helps.

Q: What is my iPhone downloading in the background? Is there any way to find what apps are downloading stuff in the background? And what stuff they are downloading? I've done a little research and gather it's the Background Transfer Service doing the work. But no hint of how to monitor what its doing. This other question is a bit more general and the answer was "there's no way to know" but it's a bit old and the answers aren't authoritative.
About once a week when I plug my phone in and it's on WiFi I find it's suddenly downloading hundreds of megabytes of data. I can figure out a bit of what's going on from my router, an HTTP connection to aaplimg.com, but all that tells me is it's something on Apple's CDN. Short of running a packet sniffer I have no way to see what is being downloaded or by what.
A: Do you have iCloud Drive and/or iCloud backups enabled? If so, that's what it's probably doing. You may also want to check which apps you have enabled to refresh in the background. See: Settings > General > Background App Refresh

A:
About once a week when I plug my phone in and it's on WiFi I find it's suddenly downloading hundreds of megabytes of data.
That sounds to me like it's just doing an iCloud backup, since those are the conditions under which a backup will run.
If you go to Settings > iCloud > Backup, check if iCloud Backup is enabled. If so, see if the date and time of the last backup correlates with when you last noticed that data usage. Or trigger a backup manually and see if it makes the same connections that you saw previously.
Also, go to Settings > Safari and see if Fraudulent Website Warning is enabled. I believe iOS periodically downloads updates to the list of fraudulent sites when plugged in and on wifi (although I can't currently find any documentation on this).
A: Have you checked the app data usage under Mobile Data? That would indicate what apps are using the most data on your cellular connection. By process of elimination, you can uninstall the apps that use the most data on mobile and see if that affects the data use on Wi-Fi. It's a tedious, annoying solution, but it's the best method I can think of.
Do you have your iPhone set to sync data to iCloud over Wi-Fi? That might be a factor too…

Q: How do I enable DNSSec on OSX? (Or DNSCurve) I want to support encrypted IPSec communications, and DANE certs in DNS. Notably, DNSSSec is a prerequisite is IPSec (secure IP addresses from DNS)
How can I configure my OS X computer to use DNSSec when available, and to refuse incorrect responses.
I understand that DNSSec is best done on a server, and have your workstation point to THAT, however, this also applies to OS X Server.
A: You should install unbound and have that be your dns resolver on Mac OS X. Unbound supports DNSSEC. Next, you need whatever apps you want to use, to be aware of and respect the results of the DNSSEC validation that unbound does. As an example, SSH can use DNSSEC along with SSHFP to validate the fingerprint of the server that you are connecting to.
Here is a blog post that details how to install unbound. https://spatof.org/blog/2013/8/unbound-on-osx/
As to having IPSec using DANE, I believe that is still something that it being worked out.

Q: kernel_task hundreds of % CPU yet cpu frequency is being lowered I'm trying to solve the mystery of a crazy high cpu usage on kernel_task.
MacBook Pro (Retina, Mid 2012), 2.7 GHz Intel Core i7, Yosemite 10.10.2
I saw some advice to download the Intel Power Gadget. That showed me that the my CPU is slowing way down. How do I fix this? When this happens, I can sometimes cycle the power on the MBP. But this is driving me crazy.
A: In my case, I had a MBP used continuously for 3 years. The local Mac store opened the case and cleared out the dust. That FIXED the problem!!!!
Basically the extra dust caused the CPU to overheat.

A: In my case, I had a MBP used continuously for 3 years. The local Mac store opened the case and cleared out the dust. That FIXED the problem!!!!
Basically the extra dust caused the CPU to overheat.
A: Apple documents this.
Activity Monitor may show that a process named kernel_task is using a large percentage of your CPU, and during this time you may notice a lot of fan activity. This process helps manage temperature by making the CPU less available to processes that are using the CPU intensely. In other words, kernel_task responds to conditions that cause your CPU to become too hot. When the temperature decreases, kernel_task automatically reduces its activity.
https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT203184
You might want to reset the SMC one time to be sure it's not stuck and providing incorrect temperature readings to the processor.
If the SMC or high temperatures is the root cause, you should be able to correlate the various internal temperature sensors and physical measurement of the case and exhaust air temperature with the design throttling of the kernel scheduling and the clock rate adjustments the chipset is designed to make in response to thermal measurements.
Worst case, you have a hardware issue with faulty temperature sensors or an out-of-spec CPU that generates more heat than it should for a given GHz clock rate.
A: My current MB Pro Retina(late 2013) suffers from this. I installed Ubuntu on my laptop just so that I can barely run the browser and terminal.
The reason behind my laptops throttling seems to be faulty temperature sensors. Some of the sensors are reporting a reading of -127C which starts the throttling. I have compiled temperature readings from sensors in this github gist.
So far, there's no solution in sight. I have tried cleaning, modifying kernel extensions and resetting SMC.

even if its a hackish way to do it. I am ready for it. I just want to have Indian flag in menu bar.
A: You can actually customize your own input source icons via keyboard layouts! I found step-by-step instructions, which involve a bit of graphics editing, a Unicode Keyboard Layout Editor, and some work in Terminal.app: Salvatore Testa: Customizing Your Mac Input Source Icon. Have fun!

| Q: Turn on Text Replacement, Chrome? I know I'm supposed to enable text replacement via Edit > Substitutions > Text Replacement but… I cannot find that menu in Chrome at all. Help?
A: Enter in terminal to activate text replacement across all applications:
defaults write -g WebAutomaticTextReplacementEnabled -bool true
A: That feature appears to be specific to Safari on OS X; however, there are plenty of extensions for Chrome that imitate that functionality (https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/auto-text-expander-for-go/iibninhmiggehlcdolcilmhacighjamp?hl=en for example). It will not use the built-in OS X dictionary, unfortunately, but can sync dictionaries across Chrome browsers on the same account.
A: This is currently not possible because Chrome does few things its own way. Here is the bug that tracks this
https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=42434
Still if you dream about adding a comment there forget it, even if Chromium is Open-Source the team decided that they don't need external feedback and disabled the commenting.
There is also a thread on Google Forums about this bug. But again, Google closed the topic in order to avoid other comments.
https://productforums.google.com/forum/#!topic/chrome/CAv_4eUkhzk
I guess that your only option would be use Twitter to tween about this issue. Be use that you mention @Google in your tweet. You will be surprised how reactive are big companies when their PR is affected by their poor experience.

Q: Discoveryd & LaunchServicesd Huge Memory Consumption I have been troubleshooting why my Mac Mini is running slow and stumbled upon this:
The memory usage is in the GB!
On my MacBook the two processes take under 10 MB together.
Why are these procs taking up so much memory, and how can I fix it to resemble usage on my MacBook?
Mac Mini Server (Late 2012)
*
*Mem 4GB
*OS X Yosemite 10.10.2
A: This is a known issue in Yosemite, although it doesn't affect everyone - I have 5 Macs running Yosemite and one suffers badly, but the others not at all.
Temporary relief comes from rebooting or stopping and restarting the affected services. For discoveryd, in Terminal, do:
sudo launchctl unload -w /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.discoveryd.plist
sudo launchctl load -w /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.discoveryd.plist
Launchervicesd may respond to the same commands - I don't have any experience of that

Q: Not able to charge iPhone 5 I have already tried more than 5 chargers but still my iPhone 5 is not getting charged. If I buy a new charger then it works fine for a week. Why is this occurring and how can I fix it?
A: Some iPhone 5 are eligible for a free battery replacement. Maybe that is related to your issue?
Apple has determined that a very small percentage of iPhone 5 devices
may suddenly experience shorter battery life or need to be charged
more frequently. The affected iPhone 5 devices were sold between
September 2012 and January 2013 and fall within a limited serial
number range.
You can test if your phone is eligible, on this website.
| Q: Not able to charge iPhone 5 I have already tried more than 5 chargers but still my iPhone 5 is not getting charged. If I buy a new charger then it works fine for a week. Why is this occurring and how can I fix it?
A: Some iPhone 5 are eligible for a free battery replacement. Maybe that is related to your issue?
Apple has determined that a very small percentage of iPhone 5 devices
may suddenly experience shorter battery life or need to be charged
more frequently. The affected iPhone 5 devices were sold between
September 2012 and January 2013 and fall within a limited serial
number range.
You can test if your phone is eligible, on this website.
A: Before checking for a battery replacement, I would clean the connector of the iPhone. Check this video (I will also work for an iPhone 5)
I had this problem and it solved it. If this doesn't work, go with jherran's answer.
Good luck
A: Just as a thought but since a new charger works for a week or so perhaps the issue is not the phone or the charger the outlet you're using if you always use the same one it might be damaging the charger somehow.

Q: Is there a way to see what kernel task is doing? I found a question (and answers) about What exactly does kernel_task do?. What I want to know is how I can inspect what kernel_task is doing at any given moment in time?
Does it get logged so that I can inspect what is been doing for a while or can I even observe it at realtime?
A: There are few places that information is available, but since kernel is a multitasking beast one has to look in multiple places:
*
*The simple one is the Console log "type kernel in the filter box", but not all activity is reported there since Kernel issues millions of instructions in a Milli-second.
*Also the Activity Monitor is a good source of information.
*You could use the ps -A > process.txt to see all running processes.
*You could use the sudo iosnoop to see all disk activity.
*You could use kextstat > ~/Desktop/kexts.txt to see all loaded drivers.
In other words, it is too busy for you to follow and a continuous output file would not make senses.

Q: Make a slideshow in iPhoto 9.6.1 showing photos in random order I want to make a slideshow that shows photos in random order, but I don't see the option to do it. I only have an option to sort images by name or date or things that do not apply.
A: There is no preset for random order – but you can switch to random order ("shuffle order") while the slideshow is actually playing:
"While a slideshow is playing, move the pointer to make the slideshow controls appear, and then click the Settings button"
The settings button is the little cog wheel icon next to the close [X] button:
Clicking the settings button in play mode will open an extended preferences panel, featuring an additional option "Shuffle slide order" in the lower third of the panel:
Checking/unchecking that option will toggle the Shuffle mode.
You can find a detailled description on this page "Change slideshow settings"at support.apple.com – it's for iPhoto 9.5 but should also apply for iPhoto 9.6.

Q: Check if an OS X user is an administrator? In a script, how can I check if user "Bill" is a member of the admin group (group 80)?
I plan to use this in a script to check if he is and if he is not, make him an admin user.
A: See the man page for id.
id -G user
will output a space delimited list of groups for a particular user. You'd have to detect 80 in the output list.
| Q: Check if an OS X user is an administrator? In a script, how can I check if user "Bill" is a member of the admin group (group 80)?
I plan to use this in a script to check if he is and if he is not, make him an admin user.
A: See the man page for id.
id -G user
will output a space delimited list of groups for a particular user. You'd have to detect 80 in the output list.
A: Another way:
if groups username | grep -q -w admin;
then
echo "Is admin";
else
echo "Not admin";
fi
*
*groups username will show all username groups.
*grep -q -w admin will search (without output -q) for word admin in the list of username groups.
As suggest by David Koontz, groups has been obsoleted by id utility. So, the if sentence should looks like the following to do the same:
if id -Gn username | grep -q -w admin;
A: Here is a simple script to check if the user is in the admin group and if not adds him:
#!/bin/bash
echo "This script will add a non-admin user to the admin group"
echo "Please enter username"
read username
if groups $username | grep -q -w admin;
then
echo "User '$username' already is in the admin group";
else
dscl . -append /Groups/admin GroupMembership $username;
echo "User '$username' has been added to the admin group!";
echo "Please restart your Mac to apply the changes.";
fi
Save the script somewhere and make it executable by opening Terminal and entering:
chmod 755 /path/to/script
Run the script with sudo /path/to/script.
Since the default Mac admin of a server OS is a member of several admin groups (e.g. _lpadmin, access_bpf, _appserveradm etc) you might add them as well in the script.
Example:
add the following line to the script to add the user to the 'App Server Admins' group
dscl . -append /Groups/_appserveradm GroupMembership $username;
To improve the script you might also add a condition to check if the entered user does exist at all.
A: Way 1:
<hostname>:~ zgong$ sudo shutdown
Password:
Sorry, try again.
Password:
zgong is not in the sudoers file. This incident will be reported.
Way 2:
if groups <username> | grep -q -w admin;
then
echo "Is admin";
else
echo "Not admin";
fi
For example:
<hostname>:~ zgong$ if groups zgong | grep -q -w admin;
> then
> echo "Is admin";
> else
> echo "Not admin";
> fi
Not admin
Reference:
https://www.hexnode.com/mobile-device-management/help/script-to-check-if-a-user-is-an-administrator-on-mac/
Way 3:
Like mentioned:
if id -Gn <username> | grep -q -w admin;
then
echo "Is admin";
else
echo "Not admin";
fi
For example:
<hostname>:~ zgong$ if id -Gn zgong | grep -q -w admin;
> then
> echo "Is admin";
> else
> echo "Not admin";
> fi
Not admin
Way 4:
dscl . -read /Groups/admin GroupMembership
For exmaple:
<hostname>:~ zgong$ dscl . -read /Groups/admin GroupMembership
GroupMembership: root _canary littlemac _mbsetupuser

Q: Disable Keep In Dock on app move I use my dock without any applications ever kept in Dock. Only applications that are open are in the Dock.
When I move an application within the Dock, OS X thinks I want it kept in the Dock.
Does anyone know how to disable this 'keep in Dock on move' feature?
A: To the best of my knowledge this is expected behavior. The dock has been doing that (probably) since the 10.0 public beta.
Unfortunately I have seen nothing online, either in App form or a shell or applescript, that would prevent this from happening. Perhaps someone else has run across something that would do this.

Q: How do I get to my Keynote 6.5 themes folder? I've created a theme using File > Save Theme and would now like to share it with others. Where in the world is it though? It's visible in the File > Change Theme area but I can't find the source folder.
Googling gives me reference to /Library/Application Support/Keynote/Themes or ~/Library/Application Support/iWork/Keynote/Themes/, both of which aren't right for Keynote 6.5.
A: I found the lack of answers on Google surprising, so I had to stumble around until I found it.
Themes are located in:
/Users/username/Library/Containers/com.apple.iWork.Keynote/Data/Library/Application Support/User Templates/
If you're not as familiar with the command line, you can open up Terminal and simply run this to get all your themes copied to your Desktop:
cp /Users/$USER/Library/Containers/com.apple.iWork.Keynote/Data/Library/Application\ Support/User\ Templates/* ~/Desktop
Which says "copy all contents of the current users's Theme folder to that user's desktop."

Q: Allow system to sleep even with audio stream running For a bit of background info: I have a 2010 MacBook Pro 15 with OSX 10.10.2 installed.
I'm looking to make the laptop go to sleep even when a proccess that sets PreventUserIdleSystemSleep=1 is open. In this particular case, it as coreaudiod.
I was thinking of something similar to the Windows powercfg -requestsoverride for specific processes/drivers.
A: You can use a third party tool like Power Manager to make your Mac sleep after a period of inactivity.
Unlike OS X's Energy Saver, Power Manager can put your unused Mac to sleep even when an application or process has requested otherwise.
Disclaimer: I wrote Power Manager and can answer comments about how it works.

Q: Shutdown cause: -104 I have Macbook Pro retina, model 2013. It started to randomly shut down for no apparent reason. The system log always contains this message:
Previous shutdown cause: -104
I have tried to reset SMC and PRAM several times. It did not help. The hardware test found no errors. I have tried to google the meaning of shutdown code "-104", but I could not find anything.
Can anyone please provide any info about what's going on and possibly how to fix it? Thanks.
A: It appears to be battery related. It may be related to -103, however both indicate that you should check the battery. Try running the laptop from the charger and see if the laptop still unexpectedly shuts down. Also check to see if there are any spurious sensor readings for the battery using iStat Menus or equivalent which may indicate the laptop trying to protect itself by shutting down.
-103
Battery cell under voltage detected.
Check battery.
-104
unknown
Check battery.

Q: How do I edit an Info.plist file? I want to edit three lines of file
Whenever I try to edit it this comes up
I already gave myself permission to Read & Write (I'm 21muffinp)
The same thing still comes up, saying I do not have perimission.
A: You need read/write permissions to the containing folder as well as the plist itself for Xcode to modify the file in place.
A workaround for this if you are unable to change the permissions of the containing folder is to copy the file out, edit it, then copy it back over the top of the existing file. Alternatively, you can use a different property list editor such as the CLI ‘defaults’.

A: As already mentioned, you will need write permissions for the folder as well as the file. You can't write on a bit of paper that's stored in a room you can only see in to. ;)
Another workaround is to use an editor such as BBEdit (or TextWrangler if you don't need all the features) which will elevate to the correct privileges for you when you attempt to edit the file. Make sure you download the non-App Store versions of these apps, however, otherwise you won't have the option to elevate (because of Apple's sandboxing restrictions for MAS apps).
If you're okay with using Terminal, take a look at using PlistBuddy (which can be accessed at /usr/libexec/PlistBuddy) to edit your .plist files. I prefer it to defaults because it allows you to really drill down in to dicts and arrays when you need to (defaults has an issue with nested keys). Make sure you run it with sudo though otherwise you'll still have permissions problems.
EDIT: The above still holds somewhat true in 2021, but you may find that the BBEdit/TextWrangler approaches don't work for some newer .plist files due to the fact that binary PLists are preferred over the older XML-based PLists. (Full disclosure: I haven't worked directly with PLists for a few years now.) You can, however, manipulate binary PLists with a VSCode plugin so it might be worth checking that out if you want a modern GUI approach.
A: Under El Capitan you need to temporarily disable the System Integrity Protection to be able to edit the .plist file.
To do that:
*
*Click the Apple menu.
*Select Restart...
*Hold down Command + R to boot into Recovery mode.
*Click the Utilities menu and select Terminal.
*Type csrutil disable and press return.
*Close the Terminal app.
*Click the Apple menu and select Restart...
You should now be able to modify the file, after you can repeat these steps with csrutil enable to secure your machine again.
A: Try to run Xcode with root privileges:
sudo /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/MacOS/Xcode

Q: What does the orange keys mean in keyboard viewer? I use the keyboard viewer as a cheat sheet so I can guide myself in the horrible fields of OSX keymaps and I realised that pressing some keys will display a few keys in orange. What does that color indicate?
A: Those keys in orange are so-called dead keys. It's a key that does not necessarily generate a complete character by itself but may modify the character generated by the key struck immediately after.
The usage of those dead keys in a text editor or in the Terminal is usually indicated by a yellowish background. You may then enter the main character you want to modify to finally get the desired one.
Not all combinations of a dead key and a normal key are used. Typing altn (=~) n will result in a 'ñ'. But altn (=~) t just gives '~t'.

A: The orange represent accent characters to add to the next inputed letter. It is functionally equivalent to accessing OSX’s accent menu - holding down a key and seeing:
For example. So, alternatively, you can type optionu followed byu to add a diaresis to the letter ü
A: It means that those symbols overlay themselves onto whatever letter you next. For example, Optionu followed by u would type ü, rather than ¨u.

Q: Force Click Not Working on Macbook Recently got a new Macbook Pro. It has Force click technology where you can lookup the definition of words by clicking hard on the trackpad. It worked bon day1 but it does not seem to work anymore and I am not sure why.
The feature itself is definitely enabled, although I am not getting any feedback / popup with info.
Any idea why this is? I appreciate any advice on how to troubleshoot as this is a great feature and I would like to make use of it
A: Try using it in a native Apple application like Safari. I am suspecting that you are using Chrome, Opera, or some other application outside of the Apple ecosystem.
If it doesn't work in Safari, then your you need to take it in for service straight away.
If it does work, then you know that the hardware is good. What's left is that the 3rd party app developers need to add the "force touch" support into their code.

A: Check other force click functions, like clicking on dock icons to show all windows, to make sure your trackpad is registering the clicks. I have the same new Macbook Pro and force click also stopped working in Safari, but it does work in the dock, so it must be a software issue.
A: I had the same exact problem. Drove me crazy trying to figure it out. Simple Solution.
Open System Preferences, Trackpad
Under the Point & Click tab make sure that the Look up & data detectors is set to Force click with one finger. Some how, mine got changed to tap with three fingers. I know I didn't change it and I'm the only one that has access to it so its a mystery but now it works so thats all that matters.

It's running iOS 8 and the iCloud web app shows that someone has travelled a fair distance with it.
How should I go about protecting access to my data on the deviceas well as not ruin all chances of finding it.
My worry is sending a remote wipe will reduce the chance they can get my data but I won't be able to track the device further.
A: *
*Remote-Lock the phone so they can't use it.
*Visit your local police.

Q: Strange Pop-up appldnld.apple.com:80 I received a strange Pop Up message. The unsettling part is password will be sent in clear text.
Is my phone affected with any malware or app virus ?
A: This is the device trying to connect to the Apple updating server, but due to a network reason at your end, you are being prompted for your password, either for your network, proxy, or other reason. This is not asking for your Apple ID but rather whatever network connection authentication details you usually use to connect to your network.

Q: Lock vertical resize of the dock in Mac OS X I can't find a way to make my dock only resize horizontally when new apps appear. Currently when one does, the whole dock shrinks vertically and expands horizontally.
Is there any way to only expand the dock horizontally?
A: This answer mentions how to lock the dock, but doesn't mention that you have to reload the dock in order for the changes to be applied.
If you want to lock the dock so that you can't resize it, run this command in a terminal:
defaults write com.apple.dock size-immutable -bool yes && killall Dock
If you want to unlock the dock so that you can resize it, run this command in a terminal:
defaults write com.apple.dock size-immutable -bool no && killall Dock

Q: What keyboard shortcuts exist for Notes app is OS X? I can do cmd-N to create a new note. What I'd like to learn how to do is:
*
*get the cursor in the search field, then use up down arrows with enter to select the right note
*it would be great to also cycle through notes with the keyboard, similar to cmd+shift+[ and cmd+shift+] in Chrome
How can I learn to do these things?
A: The app I use for this is CheatSheet since some shortcuts come from the system (screen shot, etc..), some come from third party apps, and some are from the app itself.
I count 51 keys active in Notes on my Mac, so I'm not going to list them all. Yours are probably different than mine, since I have third party apps that have services with default keys enabled.
The movement request is best served by Mouse Keys - which came from X11 days and has been chosen/implemented as Apple's accessibility solution for using a number pad instead of the mouse/trackpad for you to navigate to the search field.

A: *
*to get the cursor on the search bar you can press the 'Note List Search...' shortcut (cmd+option+f)
*to focus on the Notes list, you can go to the search bar first by pressing cmd+option+f, and then press tab. That will bring your focus on the list, but i didnt figure out a way to bring the focus to the note from the notes list.
A: I use KeyCue, it works in all apps; it's similar to @bmike's solution but it's not free.
If you just wanna try is out you can download it from the website, or you can kickass.
A: My workaround is Keyboard Maestro, I added a Cmd-ArrowUp shortcut to perform a click (400, 50) pixels from the top-left window corner.
Not free, but has saved me a lot of time over the years. Unfortunately its services are required more and more often :-/
A: It isn't possible to jump from editing text in a note to moving between notes or folders directly. But if you press Command+1 twice you will go into attachment view and back out, and focus will move onto the notes list.
From here you can use tab and arrow keys to access different notes and folders and also the search field. Pressing return moves the focus to editing the note currently being displayed.

Q: How to schedule run of .command file (bash)? I have a bash script (saved as myfilename.command) and would like to schedule its run. I've tried to use Calendar event for this (which works fine with Automator scripts), but I get the following error -
“myfilename.command” can’t be opened because CoreServicesUIAgent is
not allowed to open documents in Terminal.
Is there any way to fix it?
A: There are several ways and I think the first step is to make the .command file just a shell script.
Given you comment re automator I would suggest the easiest way is to create an automator/applescript that calls this shell script. This then can be called by calendar
Other ways are using non GUI tools and call the shell script from a cron or launchd entry

Q: How can I find out when a USB device was disconnected without ejecting? I had a USB flash drive plugged into my MacBook (running Yosemite), but that drive is now missing. Somebody must've taken it (unplugged it) from my computer while I was at work or while carrying it in my backpack.
When I now opened my MacBook, it showed the message that the disk wasn't ejected properly.
Can I find out when it was unplugged? What sort of message am I looking for in the event log?
A: Try the Console log at var/log/asl/2015.04.08.U0.80.asl or similar
(there will also be a G80 & a U501 with similar dates but it's the U0.80.asl you want)
Apr 8 17:38:35 macname kernel[0] <Notice>: disk6s1: media is not present.
Apr 8 17:38:35 macname kernel[0] <Notice>: msdosfs_fat_uninit_vol: error 6 from msdosfs_fat_cache_flush
Tested empirically on a disposable USB key ;-)

Q: How to enable searching inside Google Drive/Docs using Spotlight? Has anyone found/created a working solution for searching inside Google Docs using Spotlight (their contents, not just their names)?
Precipitate used to provide this functionality, but unfortunately no longer works and is no longer maintained.
A: I used a version of the answer supplied here with sudo mdutil -E /Volumes/[DriveName] but first I had to make sure the Google Drive was mounted. So I did this:
sudo defaults write /Library/Preferences/com.google.drivefs.settings DefaultMountPoint '~/GoogleDrive'
Source: Configure Drive File Stream
It's very important that you don't put a space between Google Drive, as shown in the Google support column, because Terminal takes this as a hard return when entering the index command.
Then restart the Mac so the Google Drive is mounted as GoogleDrive, then:
sudo mdutil -E

Then restart the Mac so the Google Drive is mounted as GoogleDrive, then:
sudo mdutil -E
Source: Terminal 101: Rebuild the Spotlight Index On the Fly
A: I don't believe that Spotlight is technically able to index the content inside the Google Drive files, at least not files that were created from within Google Drive's web interface. For example, if I go to drive.google.com and create a new file (e.g. a Document) and insert some content (text) in the document, that new file representing that document will show up in my Mac's directory (i.e. /Users/myname/Google Drive/filename.gdoc). However if I take that file and open it in a text editor, I can see that the only content in the file is a link to the online file and some other information. The actual content of the google document is not in the file that's on my computer. Since the content of the document isn't in the file that's on my computer, there's nothing for Spotlight to index.
I think this is really unfortunate. The idea that I could use Spotlight to search through all of the files that I created online is really great, but it appears that Google Drive isn't downloading the content of the files, so there is nothing for Spotlight to index. As you noted Precipitate provided that functionality, but it doesn't work any more and it's no longer developed.
One non-spotlight alternative is to use the app Alfred to search:
Google Drive Search with Alfred App
All this really is is a shortcut to open your google drive in a web browser and initiate a search- not really what you (or I) want.
There is also an app called Found that is able to search Google Drive, but that company was purchased and the app is no longer being developed. I haven't tried the most recent version (which is from 2013), and the reviews on macupdate.com are mixed about its current functionality, but it might be worth a try.
A: I was confused at first because Spotlight didn't index that drive. However once I forced it to then I was able to search just fine. You can rebuild the index for a specific drive by following this tutorial.
sudo mdutil -E /Volumes/[DriveName]
http://www.techradar.com/how-to/computing/apple/terminal-101-rebuild-the-spotlight-index-on-the-fly-1305684
A: There is a way. It is not pretty.
Use an app such as CloudPull that backs up Google Documents to your local drive. Then Spotlight will find the local copy. That gives you the name of the found file.
Use Google Drive to back up the shortcuts to the Google Documents that open the real document at Google.
Use Spotlight to search for the content you want, then take the found name and search for that to find the Google Documents shortcut and open that, in order to open the document at Google.
A: This happens automatically for any Google Drive folders/files you have synced locally using the GD app, because the files technically are on your system. The Spotlight results then become hyperlinks to the online Drive file, opening in your browser.
Just make sure anything you want to be able to search this way is saved in "My Drive" and that you have that, or whatever sub-folders you designate, syncing to your local directory.
A: TLDR: Spotlight indexing on Apple Silicon is not supported.
The answer below is from Google's documentation for Known Issues Spotlight in Google Drive for Desktop:
Spotlight—Drive for desktop versions later than version 47 don’t support Apple Spotlight indexing on Apple silicon devices, on macOS Monterey or later, or for Gmail accounts. You can use the integrated Google Drive search released in version 55 to search for files.
Workaround: For Google Workspace users there is a convenient search (magnifying glass) on the top menu bar when you click on the Google Drive icon.
A: If you are willing to try a Spotlight alternative, namely Alfred, you are good to go.
Alfred is technically a launcher/file-searcher, but it is capable of much more thanks to workflows. Without going into much detail it works basically as Spotlight: after a keyboard stroke you get a rectangle in the middle of the screen, where you can type your search query, and you get answers (much faster than Spotlight). There are really good tutorials for it, at the developers' website, and the learning curve is very shallow. To use workflows you need the Powerpack option which is not-free-of-charge (Alfred is), but I highly recommend this on time purchase.
Alfred uses the Spotlight index database to execute document searches. But I have found - and Oh man I've tried - that Spotlight is very unreliable working with network drives. And even if you mount google drive with CloudMounter or Mountainduck etc. you can not index it. (You can index a mounted network drive on the local network, but I only now a temporary solution. )
BUT Alfred, fortunately, can do a lot with workflows. And there is a workflow for google drive search. You can download it here. It is not a workaround, it is a native solution.
Simply double-click on the google_drive.alfredworkflow file, and add it to Alfred. You will be asked probably to update it, but once you are done, you can search your google drive files in the Alfred window typing the letter d and the search term. You will see the hits in a dropdown list, you can select them, and they will open in the browser. It is lightning quick.
A: The latest versions of Google Drive for desktop include Spotlight integration, which supports both name & content indexing. It seems to be disabled by default for some unknown reason, so check your Google Drive preferences.

Q: Manage Sort options in OS X Photos App OSX 10.10.3 has been just released and I immediately migrated my iPhoto library to Photos.
More or less there's everything I'm used to in iPhoto but Apple's removed a useful function: I can't reverse the order by date of an album! I mean, on iPhoto I have some smart album sorted with recent photos on top and older bottom but, by default it would be otherwise. In iPhoto there was a menu voice to set it but in Photos, actually, there isn't.
I tried searching album source file (as a .plist) to modify but I can't find it.
Has some one any idea on how to manage sort options on new Yosemite's Photos?
A: I sort by date by selecting Albums at the top of Photos window.
Then use the View menu to check Keep Sorted By Date
There isn't any way to reverse that currently and I don't see any indication that they'll do anything other than tell you to scroll to the bottom to see the other ordering.
| Q: Manage Sort options in OS X Photos App OSX 10.10.3 has been just released and I immediately migrated my iPhoto library to Photos.
More or less there's everything I'm used to in iPhoto but Apple's removed a useful function: I can't reverse the order by date of an album! I mean, on iPhoto I have some smart album sorted with recent photos on top and older bottom but, by default it would be otherwise. In iPhoto there was a menu voice to set it but in Photos, actually, there isn't.
I tried searching album source file (as a .plist) to modify but I can't find it.
Has some one any idea on how to manage sort options on new Yosemite's Photos?
A: I sort by date by selecting Albums at the top of Photos window.
Then use the View menu to check Keep Sorted By Date
There isn't any way to reverse that currently and I don't see any indication that they'll do anything other than tell you to scroll to the bottom to see the other ordering.

Q: How to upload photos to iCloud Photo Library on iPhone without Wi-Fi? I just upgraded to OS X 10.10.3 and decided to try out the Photos app. So I enabled iCloud Photo Library on my iPhone to upload some photos.
However, it says that I need Wi-Fi to upload photos to iCloud. The problem is I don't have a Wi-Fi connection, I only use the cellular connection for all my Internet needs.
Is there a way to upload photos to iCloud via cellular?
A: Unfortunately, the answer is no:
When you turn on iCloud Photo Library on your iOS device or Mac, your photos and videos will upload after you connect to the Internet with Wi-Fi and your battery is charged.

A: My father has the same issue he lives in a area where he can't get internet. We have a hack option takes two iPhones or a iPad with Cellular what you do is the phone you want to upload photos off you tether to the iPad or iPhone it will think its on a wifi network and start uploading photos. so take a old iPhone put your sim in it and tether it to the phone and then it will work its a hack and is a pain but does work.
A: iCloud Photo Library uploads now seem to be available via the Cellular Data "Unlimited Updates" feature.
Settings > Photos > Cellular Data > Unlimited Updates
Unlimited Updates
Turn on for unlimited use of cellular data to upload and download to iCloud Photos when you are not connected to Wi-Fi. This may cause you to exceed your cellular data plan.
This option appears to have launched in 2017 with iOS 11.
A: Providing you do not have usual wifi-routers & purely using USB tethering,
having a Google account signed in with your iOS device would help a lot, you may use Google Photos app to sync, back-up & retrieve them from your Windows desktop/laptop Chrome browser's Google Photos as long as you are logged in the same Google account as you've logged in at your iPhone/iOS device. ;)

Q: Can Apple Watch read aloud web sites or web pages? I know that Apple Watch comes with Siri, which is capable of understanding spoken phrases and respond with a short answer.
But can it also read an entire website or web page, similar to Android apps like Culinary Pal or Wiki Pal?
A: Out of box Apple Watch has almost no web functionality. Technically it can open web views from emails or Siri, but apps can't have its own web views and those web views can show only stripped down content and not do much more than that.
In general Apple disables this because most people would be frustrated if this was called browsing experience as it barely works but it is legitimate that for some people it may be useful.
So if you are after the full browsing experience Apple Watch is not for you.
However if you are interested into listening to the pages that you have got through the iPhone (or even from desktop if you enable a Pocket connection in Speech Central) using the text-to-speech then currently there are two apps that support something like that - Speech Central and Voice Dream Reader.

Q: Can I Share All Photos in iCloud Photo Library to Family Members? With iCloud Photo Library, assuming I have purchased enough storage space to store all my photos, can I then share all my photos to other my family members who are using different iCloud accounts?
(This question here seems to imply there is a limit imposed by Apple that is not publicly-known.)
A: According to this article by Serenity Caldwell of iMore, there are three ways to share photos to all your family members.
*
*Use the "Family" album that is automatically created if you have Family Sharing turned on.
*Create a shared album.
*Use the same iCloud account for all family members.
Nevertheless, there doesn't seem to be a way to automatically share all your photos to your family members. You will still need to copy photos into the share album. (Unless you are all using the same iCloud account, which I didn't want to do, since each user already have their own active iCloud accounts.)

A: How many photos and videos can be stored in a shared album?
A shared album can hold a maximum of 5000 photos and videos combined. When you reach your limit, you must delete some photos or videos before adding new ones.
iCloud Photo Sharing FAQ
My Photo Stream and iCloud Photo Sharing limits
I realize this is not directly answering the original question, but the information seems relevant because if you have > 5k photos/videos then the answer becomes "No, you cannot share all iCloud Photo Library content with a family member".
A: I believe so, just share your apple acount with your family members, and under the same account, all media contents including photos would be uploaded to iCloud and shared among your family member.
A: I think the problems with the Family Share album is that it is limited to 5000 photos...(which my family album already exceeds)
A: Since Apple is not capable and even don't want to solve this issue there is only one solution.
you have to use Google Photos. App is also available in appstore
A: I wish this were as simple as Google Photos make sharing. It is really difficult to leave google photos. They do not make it easy to take your photos and videos. Also, a lot of metadata transfers incorrectly. Then Apple doesn't allow for date metadata to be changed and you need another app to do so individually.
I'm just giving my Apple Id and Password to wife and mom so they can check out any new photos that I take.

Q: All of my events have disappeared in the new Photos app for OSX Yosemite I have just upgraded OSX Yosemite and have been looking at the new Photos app. It seems all of my events have disappeared. How do I get them back?
A: The best option for working with events is to use the sidebar (cmd + alt + s or view → Show Sidebar). They will be listed there:
Without using the sidebar they are listed in the Albums section:

Q: What lock can secure a 4th generation Time Capsule from theft? The 4th generation Time Capsule has a security slot at the far right of the back panel:
However, the manual does not mention what kind of lock I can attach to it.
What locks are compatible? For instance, does the Kensington MicroSaver work?
A: Yup, that's a Kensington slot and the product you linked will work and is on the high end in price and fit/finish. Anything compatible will work - you can open http://amazon.com and then search for "kensington type laptop lock" for dozens of vendors at various price points and key/cable configurations.

A: The slot is a standard Kensington compatible lock style slot, or t-bar lock. All Kensington Locks will work with this slot, including the Microsaver line.
Kensington offers a smaller lock as well, reserved for tablets and ultrabooks, whose slot is less than 12mm. This uses a different attachment mechanism, but whose mechanism (Cleat) is backwardly compatible with the original slot.

Q: Are OS X Security Updates Cumulative? I can't seem to find a definitive answer anywhere, but are Mac OS X Security Updates cumulative?
The update in question is 2015-004. I've checked https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204659 but it doesn't list any requirements.
Background: I've just finished deploying 2015-002 to some of our iMacs (running Mavericks 10.9.5), but now I see that 2015-004 is out. I was wondering if there was any point in continuing rolling out 2015-002, or should I just deploy 2015-004?
A: I would assume not cumulative, based on 15 years on Mac, and continue with -002.
Absolutely there's a point, one never knows what little fixes are included in each Security Update, nor what might be dependent on previous updates.
Bite the bullet and play by the Apple book.

Bite the bullet and play by the Apple book.
A: I agree with Zo219 and wanted to add some other thoughts.
Reading the article - the security fixes are present in both 10.10.3 and update 2005-004. Those fixes are clearly not in 2015-002 so you'll want to finish 002 and then evaluate if you're jumping to 10.10.3 or will need to apply 2015-004 as a stopgap before .3 can be rolled out.
Based on how fast you could package, test and deploy 004 that would guide me in stopping work on 002. I'd only stop 002 if I knew I could deploy 10.10.3 and finish as soon as 002 would be done.
As a general rule, point updates almost universally roll in all intermediate security updates. So, 10.10.3 will have all the security updates post 10.10.2 - but if there are three hypothetical updates between 10.10.3 and 10.10.4, you'll need all three updates to be patched to be secure since they do not historically roll up.

Q: How to show the map in Photos? I just upgraded to OS X Yosemite with the new Photos application. I have seen screenshots online where we can view photos on a map, however I can't get to that map.
How can I see all of my photos on a map, like in iPhoto/Aperture?
A: You can type a location into the search box and one of the options usually is a location; if you select it, a map comes up showing all of the photos taken in that location. For example, if you type 'Colorado' in the search box, 'Colorado - State' is one of the choices.

A: For more recent versions of Photos.app (Version 2.0 that came with macOS 10.12 Sierra at least), there is a "Places" item avaialble under "Albums" in the sidebar (use "View" -> "Show Sidebar" if it is not visible). This gives a map view similar to that available in iPhoto.app.
For older versions of Photos.app, it does not appear that there is a way to see ALL photo locations on a map at one time, aside from a small Info window. Here's what you need to do:
For the small info window that shows all locations:
1. Go to the Albums tab in Photos
2. Right-click on "All Photos" -> Get info
3. Note the small window has a map included which you can zoom in/out of
For maps that vary by date:
*
*Go to View menu -> Metadata -> Location
*Go to the Photos tab and zoom all the way out to Years
*Note that there are locations next to the year. Click on the location name
A: Actually you can see all your photos on a map, it is just not obvious. Go to Photos and go all the way out to see all your images. You now see location names for all locations you have tagged your photos with, together with year or year interval. Simply click the location name and a map will be shown.

Q: Syncing photos to iCloud and managing them with Lightroom I am a brand new Mac user, having recently purchased an iMac updated to OSX 10.10.3. I also have installed Adobe Lightroom 5, and I have a bunch of photos synced to iCloud and available through the Photos app.
I would like to be able to manage my photos through Lightroom, but have the photos synced through iCloud with my other devices. However, it appears that Lightroom cannot read the "Photos Library.photolibrary" file that is created with the Photos app.
I have seen this other question regarding the iPhoto app and Lightroom. Does this still apply for the Photos app?
What options are available to be able to sync my with my other devices and still be able to manage them on the iMac with Lightroom?
A: I have a solution:
*
*create a symbolic link to your iCloud folder from the terminal window
ln -s ~/Library/Mobile\ Documents/com~apple~CloudDocs iCloudDrive
*This creates a link from your home folder to your iCloud documents
*Now open up Lightroom and you should be able to navigate to the linked folder and import directly from there.

Q: magic mouse doesn't scroll when I move my finger up and down or side to side 10.9.5. I have to click on scroll bar and manually drag or click to get pages to scroll --in safari, in Pages--in anything. Did I turn something off inadvertently? I seem to remember not being happy with the horiz scrolling but...
A: Does the Bluetooth icon in the menu tray have a zigzag line through it indicating there is something wrong with the Bluetooth interface?
I had the same issue of not being able to scroll and noticed that my Bluetooth connection had issues. A restart fixed my Bluetooth connection issue and my scrolling issue.
Also, the Bluetooth software stack can break, reinstalling your OS, applying all updates or upgrading to the latest OS would address that cause of this failure.

Also, the Bluetooth software stack can break, reinstalling your OS, applying all updates or upgrading to the latest OS would address that cause of this failure.
A: I fixed it by simply switching the mouse off and on again.
A: I went off the lead that it could be a Bluetooth issue. I used another mouse in its place and removed the device in Bluetooth settings. I powered the Magic Mouse down, turned it back on and reconnected and it worked perfectly.
A: Either the Bluetooth issue (mentioned by Steve Moser) needs to be addressed...
OR if the connection is fine...
Go to System Preferences >> Mouse >> More Gestures and select the gestures you want.
A: I took my computer and the mouse to the Apple store. They were able to get the mouse to scroll on their computers in the store. The tech then noted that my OS system was the older El Capitan and suggested I update to the latest OS (Sierra).
We did that and after fussing around with some of the parameters it now works just fine.
A: I have also the issue.
To fix, I installed the new sierra OS and my magic mouse 2 is moving now up & down.
A: We had a storm last night and my iMac (El Capital) wouldn't wake up. Scary! Had to switch off at the wall. Thankfully, it started up. But the bluetooth mouse wouldn't scroll. I checked system prefs etc and all seemed fine, and was just reading this page when I inadvertently used both fingers to scroll instead of the usual 1 – bingo! Off to re-check system prefs now... :o)
A: I had this issue; turned my mouse off, took the batteries out. Put them back in and turned it on - problem solved.

Q: Where is trash in new Photos app? iPhoto had it's own trash, and when you've emptied it, files moved to the system trash. I cannot find this in the new Photos app. When I delete files, they don't appear in the system trash.
A: There is no Trash any more - instead there is Recently Deleted, same as on the iPhone etc. which will countdown 30 days before final deletion unless purged manually or recovered beforehand.
In OS X 10.10 Yosemite, you can access it from the File Menu > Show Recently Deleted. In OS X 10.11 El Capitan, there is no menu item, but it can be accessed from the "Albums" tab, where you'll find the recently deleted folder in the familiar shape of the trash bin of yore.
You exit, once finished, by clicking any other category, or if you don't have the Sidebar open, any Header - Albums etc.

Q: Does the new photos app still try to recognise faces? Will the new photos app still try to guess who everyone is in all my photos? I'm really hoping this is one feature that was deprecated!
FYI if anyone is wondering, I personally did not like this feature because it consumed at lot of CPU and kicked my fans up to 100% with no way to limit or control the process.
A: Yes, there is a Faces album which will show all recognised faces in your images.

Q: How to download orginal photos from iCloud Photo Library to PC? I'am an iPhone + PC (Windows/Ubuntu) user. Nowadays, I'm used to download photos from iPhone to local folder, sort them and then backup them by myself (by syncing to remote disk and burning onto bluray discs also).
I like an idea of iCloud Photo Library + optimizing a storage on iPhone. For me, this also means that original photos are moved from iPhone storage into cloud, so I won't be able to download them via USB.
So, will it be possible (and easy and comfortable) to download all new photos (100+ at once) from iCloud Photo Library to local disk on PC? I mean a) download and keep on iCloud (copy), b) download and delete from iCloud (move)?
A: I downloaded the icloud manager app: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204283.
Then in bottom right control panel on Windows (where the printer, volume, and wifi icons are located) clicked on the icloud icon then download photos then you can select ALL or by year.
This method doesn't prompt a thousand save as windows like doing it via icloud.com does.

This method doesn't prompt a thousand save as windows like doing it via icloud.com does.
A: You can, by going to iCloud.com/#photos. Once there:
*
*Click 'Select Photos' to go into selection mode
*Select a photo
*Shift-click another photo, to select the range between the first selection and your last selection (just like in Windows/OS X, you can use Shift or Cmd/Ctrl to choose exactly what you like).
*Click 'Download' at the top blue bar.
A: The best I've seen is that you can download a "moment" at a time with the iCloud web interface, which in Chrome on a PC as of 9/23/2015, downloads a pile of individual images named "IMG_XXXX.JPG" to your downloads folder. Tedious, but at least it's not as slow as downloading individual files.
I'm thinking of running a Hackintosh virtual machine on my home PC just for the purpose running the OS X Photos app and maintaining an archive of full-resolution images while enjoying the seamless synchronization and low-resolution local storage of images on my iPhone. This is a key part of the "Apple ecosystem" that is denied to PC users that really annoys me.
A: iCloud for Windows from Apple allows you to download photos from iCloud Photo Library by year.
Set up and use iCloud Photo Library on your Windows PC:
New photos and videos you add to iCloud Photo Library will
automatically download to your PC. You can also download your
collection by year when you follow these steps:
*
*Open a File Explorer window.
*Under Favorites, click iCloud Photos.
*Click Download Photos.
*Choose the photos and videos you want to download and click Download.
*Your photos and videos download to the location you set in iCloud
Photos Options.
A: I just found a great way, this might be the longest method but it works toda.
*
*Install iCloud for Windows
*Sign with Apple ID, complete the setup, etc.
*click the icloud icon in the taskbar and hit "Download Photos" below iCloud photos.
*They will be in icloudphotos/download
A: I highly recommend ndbroadbent's fantastic Python program the icloud_photos_downloader project. The project repository can be found at his Github account: https://github.com/ndbroadbent/icloud_photos_downloader.
There are some great instructions on installation and use in the project README. Once installed, you run the program to download all your photos to a directory called foto_folder; from the terminal
./download_photos.py ../foto_folder
[email protected]
--password=myp@ss
--size=original
--download-videos
And viola, it does its magic.
A: *
*Go to https://www.icloud.com/#photos.
*Go to Albums -- All Photos folder.
*Click Select Photos on top-right of the page.
*Select first photo and Shift-select last photo.
*You should see all photos are selected now.
*Click Download in top-middle menu.
A: There is no way (unless a special app exists) to download your iCloud Photo Library (not Photo Stream) to a Windows PC without having to use iCloud's Web Interface (icloud.com in web browser) and suffer at the hands of manually downloading your library.
A: For Windows, hold the Control key and select multiple items instead of Shift.
It works -- (stumbled upon it.)

Q: Turn emoji back to previous default after upgraded to iOS 8.3 Hello I just upgraded to iOS 8.3. My emoji is now default to kind of yellow colour, which is super annoying. Any ways I could set it back to previous default colour. Thank you!
A: You can try holding down on the emoji you want and see if it brings up a menu to pick the skin color like this:
That feature is mainly only available on the more "human" looking emojis. Doing this will now set the default of that emoji to the color you chose, so I guess you could go through all of them and pick the one you want and they should stay as the new default instead of having to pick from the yellow one every time, but there isn't a way to "revert back" to 8.2 and earlier styles.

Q: How to make nsurlsessiond actions less anonymous to the user? With the introduction of OS X Yosemite every once in a while little snitch (network monitoring program) pops up a requestor asking for permission to allow nsurlsessiond a connection to some ip address.
I understand that nsurlsessiond provides an API to allow any program using it to retrieve data via http or other supported protocol. In fact it acts like a proxy.
Is it possible to see which programs are using nsurlsessiond and of course what they use it for? I'm thinking of something like an access log file. Because in this current situation I am not able to do monitoring on applications using nsurlsessiond.
A: The 'more details' button should at least tell you who it's trying to contact, from which you may be able to decide whether to allow.
Possibly the main connections floater would give you more data…
You could always drop in a request to obdev or even see if there's anything in the forum
I agree it would be a useful addition, to know what app is calling an API like that.

Q: Quick way to clear Calendar invitations? For some reason, for exchange accounts, if I accept/deny calendar invitations on one computer, it would still stay as an alert on my other computers. The alert would not ask me to accept/reject, instead it would just ask me to dismiss it with an "ok" button. It's super annoying because that means I have to click "ok" for each calendar invite for each computer I have.
Is there a way to fix this or at least a quick way to dismiss all incoming event that have already been accepted?
A: Hold down the alt key when you have the invitations list in view.
All the OK buttons will change to Ok All and all the Accept buttons will change to Accept All
Clicking the Ok All will clear the invitations with just the OK All.
The other buttons do not change annoyingly. As I would like Decline All

A: Instantly clear notifications in calendar inbox, never get those again:
Calendar > calendars
Next to each calendar (shared/subscribed) is an “info” button. Click.
Shared Changes: turn off. This will instantly clear the inbox.
FYI: Below the color choices is Event Alerts: choose on/off to get notification for the upcoming events (day before, hour before, time to leave, etc), whatever alert option was initially used when event was created.

Q: Weird text alignment in System Information on Yosemite Somehow the text field in System Information appears truncated:
If I reduce the overall size, the content of the bottom pane disappears, kind of goes below the left-hand pane:
It kind of seems like there is a missing horizontal scrollbar below the bottom pane, but I am not sure if there should be one there.
This doesn't affect only Audio, but many other ones fields.
I removed the font caches (although it is unlikely that it is caused by font issues); fixed the permissions (nothing that seemed related), but no go...
This is on a Retina Macbook Pro 13" (mid 2014) running OS X Yosemite 10.10.3, and the issue was also present on 10.10.2.
Any idea what is going on?
A: As determined in comments above, it seems as though your scrollbar settings were the problem :) I guess System Information is doing something unconventional with its window size due to the space taken up by the scrollbar when it's set to show Always...

A: As determined in comments above, it seems as though your scrollbar settings were the problem :) I guess System Information is doing something unconventional with its window size due to the space taken up by the scrollbar when it's set to show Always...
A: When the scroll bars are shown, System Information seems to set its margins based on the window size when it's opened. So what happens is you widen the window to show more info, then quit, then reopen it, and then find you have to widen the window more to get the margins wide enough. This cycle repeats until you can't make the window any bigger and are stuck with too-narrow margins.
So, here's a workaround I found (other than hiding the scroll bars): open System Information, narrow the window as far as it'll go, then quit, reopen, narrow again. Repeat until the margins are somewhere near the actual window size.
Annoyingly, to maintain this you have to widen the window every time you open System Info (to get the window wide enough to display things), then narrow it before quitting so it won't be screwed up next time.
Update: this appears to be fixed in El Capitain (OS X 10.11). Also, I found another workaround for Yosemite: set the scroll bar mode for just System Information:
defaults write com.apple.SystemProfiler AppleShowScrollBars WhenScrolling

Q: Is charging my iPhone all night harmful? I normally charge my iPhone all night to get 100% power. Does this harm my phone's battery?
Update [Oct 1, 2017]: Thanks for all your great answers. I noticed there is a related video which addressed my question well.
A: No it does not. Nightly charging is the norm today for many people, and unlike older technology from a few years ago, today's lithium ion based batteries use newer technology and battery life is not damaged with nightly charging. All batteries wear out eventually, but unless you are charging multiple times per day, your battery is likely to outlast your phone or at least last a couple of years.
| Q: Is charging my iPhone all night harmful? I normally charge my iPhone all night to get 100% power. Does this harm my phone's battery?
Update [Oct 1, 2017]: Thanks for all your great answers. I noticed there is a related video which addressed my question well.
A: No it does not. Nightly charging is the norm today for many people, and unlike older technology from a few years ago, today's lithium ion based batteries use newer technology and battery life is not damaged with nightly charging. All batteries wear out eventually, but unless you are charging multiple times per day, your battery is likely to outlast your phone or at least last a couple of years.
A: Technical
Lithium Polymer batteries, such as those used in the iPhone, are a very well understood battery chemistry and use specific chargers to manage their charging.
While the latest charging ICs Apple uses are proprietary (they work with Dialog for their power management ICs), it is unlikely that Apple performs a significantly different charging process than every other battery charging IC manufacturer.
This process charges the battery as quickly as reasonable while protecting the battery from damage or increased wear and tear. Please note that the charging IC - or Power Management IC - is located inside the iPhone. So this applies regardless of the external USB powering device you use to charge it.
When the battery is full, the charger turns off the charging process. The battery is left alone without current going into or out of it. This is because most Lithium chemistry batteries don't like trickle charging (a process you may hear from others where a constant voltage and low current is applied to a battery all the time to keep it topped off).
Charging ICs therefore turn the current completely off and power the phone itself from the charger. This is the only time the battery isn't charging or discharging - when it's full and the phone is plugged in.
The battery isn't discharged and charged in some sort of cycle after charging is complete. I'm not sure where this myth stems from, because it would actually place additional wear and tear on the battery.
Self Discharge
Every battery has a "self-discharge" rate. This is the battery's natural capacity loss when not connected to anything. For Lithium Polymer batteries, this is a low (compared to other rechargeable battery types) 5% per month.
The charging IC does check up on the battery and if it loses significant charge over time while plugged in, it will start another charging cycle. But this would occur perhaps once every two weeks after several percent of the battery charge has been lost - certainly not overnight. If you leave your phone plugged in for a month, it might start another charging cycle once or twice in that time.
Conclusion
The phone and its battery, therefore, will suffer absolutely no damage being plugged in for days at a time.
Long term storage
There is one caveat to this answer: Lithium chemistry batteries don't like to be stored with full charges. They degrade more quickly if they aren't used and have a full charge. If you are going to store your mobile device unused for more than a month, charge it up fully, then discharge it (watch videos over wifi or play video games) until it's 40-50% charged. Then turn the device fully off.
Long term use
If you are using an older iPhone in a fixed installation (picture frame on the wall, data collection, baby monitor, etc) while turned on and in use with it plugged into a charger all the time, you should consider disconnecting the charger and discharging it fully once a month. Similar issue to the above - the battery doesn't like being "stored" for long periods of time at full charge, and the charger will keep it near 100% the entire time - degrading the battery a bit more quickly than desired. Going through a discharge cycle will exercise it and help it to last longer.
Personal
While I use a newer phone now, I charged my iPhone 3GS every day for 8+ hours a day (ie, overnight) regardless of how much charge was left - and more often than not, I had used less than 20% on a given day. I used it for 4 years that way, and never replaced the battery - it still lasted much longer than a day. Since then (3 years now), it's been essentially an iPod touch, being charged for days at a time when no one is using it, and being left in the car discharged for days (or weeks!) at a time when it's forgotten. Battery is still going strong, and this is certainly more than 900 charging cycles for this device.
My iPhone 5 and iPad (3rd gen) were used the same way. No negative impact from having them charge all night every night.
I'm now using the iPhone 6+ the same way. This is an expected use case for a mobile device, and it's running just fine. I expect that to continue to be the case.
You can leave your iPhone plugged in all night and it will not be harmful to your iPhone.
A: Leaving the iPhone to charge overnight doesn't affect your iPhone drastically. As phones are very smart, once it gets fully charged, it knows when to stop the current from coming in to protect the phone from overcharging.
But there are also some reason which can affect your iPhone plugged in overnight, this can leads to slow down the lifespan of your iPhone.
Lithium ion battery is used in iPhone, which can react poorly if your iPhone experience higher temperature.
Li-ion does not need to be fully charged, as is the case with lead acid, nor is it desirable to do so. In fact, it is better not to fully charge, because a high voltage stresses the battery. Choosing a lower voltage threshold, or eliminating the saturation charge altogether, prolongs battery life but this reduces the runtime. To satisfy maximum runtime, most chargers for consumer products go for maximum capacity; extended service life is perceived less important.
Technically the Li-ion charging concept is given below.
Lithium-ion operates safely within the designated operating voltages; however, the battery becomes unstable if inadvertently charged to a higher than specified voltage. Prolonged charging above 4.30V forms plating of metallic lithium on the anode, while the cathode material becomes an oxidizing agent, loses stability and produces carbon dioxide (CO2). The cell pressure rises, and if charging is allowed to continue the current interrupt device (CID) responsible for cell safety disconnects the current at 1,380kPa (200psi).
A: As someone who works for a battery specific retailer and is asked this question a lot, the answer is "it won't hurt it in the short term, but in the long term it will shorten its lifespan." Between your phone's charging system and the internal circuit board built into the battery itself, there are enough layers of protection that will prevent either your phone or the battery from being damaged under normal circumstances. However to my understanding, as part of that process, if it is left in the charger beyond the point when it is charged, it will start going through charge cycles - discharging a little bit and filling back up - as part of a safety measure, and those little charge cycles will add up over time. Since Lithium Ion batteries are rated to have 250-500 cycles during its overall lifespan before it is worn out, it's better to preserve those cycles when possible, especially given phone and therefore battery usage is oftentimes pretty heavy. A good example is eating cheeseburgers: one or two won't kill you, but if you do it daily for 40 years, you'll experience some pretty significant health issues. Same concept with leaving a phone plugged in.
When my customers purchase a replacement battery from me, I oftentimes recommend they alter their charging habits. The most common is to plug it in prior to bedtime and leave it in all night. While certainly not dangerous or damaging to the battery, overall it will wear it out faster than if you didn't do this. Instead, I suggest they change their habit to charging their phone when they get home from work/school/shopping and go about your daily routine: cook dinner, wash dishes, watch television, etcetera and periodically check in on it. Once it's fully charged, unplug it.
A: According to Apple, when an Apple device reaches full charge, it stops charging.
It's true for their macs and all other devices.
A: The charge controllers which charge the battery are really smart. They are designed by really great companies such as ST Microelectronics.
These charge controllers typically have many features. (I don't know if the ST ones I linked have all of them. I just pulled those parts out of the air). Every Lithium battery charging IC will have a smart charging algorithm which WILL PROTECT AGAINST OVERCHARGING. Lithium batteries are different from NiCd batteries in which you can pump a small current through continuously which will be converted to heat directly. A Lithium battery will get destroyed (violently) if subjected to minimal overcharging.
Some of the higher-end chips, like the ones used in Apple devices are really smart. They understand how a Lithium battery will last the longest and will adjust the charge and discharge to ensure the longevity of the life cycle of the battery. As mentioned in an answer above, Apple fast-charges the battery from 0-80%. The reason why they do this is because as you get closer to 100%, the charging efficiency becomes much lower. After this stage, the charging slows down. It typically goes into constant voltage mode where a specific voltage is set and the charge circuitry waits for the voltage to reach a certain threshold. However, after the battery is fully charged, there's no point in recharging it when it's voltage is 1/1000th a volt lower than what it should be. Instead, the charger has a set cutoff voltage when it will start charging again. This is often pretty low, like 50-70%. The battery is simply disconnected from the phone internally and the phone is powered off the power cord. The charging will only begin once the battery goes lower than the threshold which is set up by the manufacturer.
This prevents the wear and tear on the battery.
As a side lesson, the isolation between the battery charge circuit and the power adapter/cable you use makes very little difference to the charge quality as long as the design is not so piss poor that it causes too many voltage spikes and dips.
A: No, it's not harmful.
Modern phones are smart enough to stop the electric current when fully charged. That may have been a problem before lithium-ion batteries, but nowadays you shouldn't have to worry about it.
However, if your iPhone has a case that doesn't allow heat to escape very well, it might be better to remove the case to avoid overheating. Lithium-ion batteries don't like drastic temperature changes or extreme temperatures.
A: If you use your phone while plugin
it's not good if you do it on regular basis it can hurt your battery life. I don't recommend that you should charge your phone all night. I read some suggestions that you should turn off your phone and then plugin all night.
I recommend Just charge it to 40-50% before going to sleep.

Q: Command to find out the version number of a .pkg file Does anyone know how to retrieve the version number of a .pkg file which isn't installed yet?
I'd like to use something like pkgutil --pkg-info, but that only works for installed packages.
I've also tried installer -pkginfo -verbose, but that doesn't show the version number.
Is there a built-in command to do this, or alternatively, could someone suggest a one-liner please?
Thanks.
A: The best I could come up with was this:
pkgutil --expand package.pkg /tmp/pkg; cat /tmp/pkg/PackageInfo | grep ./Applications | grep -m 1 .app\" | awk '{ print $3, $2 }'; rm -rf /tmp/pkg
Not the most elegant solution, so I'm still searching for a way to do this without having to extract the .pkg first.

tar xOvf PackageName.pkg output.pkg/PackageInfo 2>/dev/null | grep '<pkg-info' \
| sed "s#.* version=\"\([0-9\.]*\)\".*#\1#"
Advantage is that this is only pipe processing.
Note my package had different structure, there is an extra directory output.pkg which contains file PackageInfo
A: for a package structured as below,
PackageName.pkg
└── Package.pkg
└── PackageInfo
adapted from @Marek R
the command to extract version information inline is:
tar xOvf "PackageName.pkg" "Package.pkg/PackageInfo" 2>/dev/null | fgrep "<pkg-info" | grep -Po '(?<!-)version="[^"]+"'

Q: iCloud Photos: What happens when deleted from phone If I delete photos from my All Photos, will they be deleted from iCloud also?
A: If you enable iCloud Photo Library all your devices stay in sync. So deleting/adding a picture on one device will delete/add it on all others (and the Cloud) as well.

Q: New Photo app - upload speed to iCloud photos really so slow? I installed the new Photos app and imported my Aperture library (about 50.000 photos altogether. As I had a bad experience when my hdd with my pictures was stolen, I want to upload all of them to iCloud. (I am not a professional photographer)
So far so good: but in the last three days, only about 5000 photos were uploaded. In other words: 30 days to go...
Is this to be expected?
Does anybody has any experiences with uploading that many photos?
I am obviously uploading via ethernet (1000 baseT) and the internet connection is not nearly saturated.
A: Just realized, it is on my side and my upload is saturated since I installed Photos - so it is not Apple's fault:
If I am not mistaken, it should be done in about 12-15 days.

If I am not mistaken, it should be done in about 12-15 days.
A: Looking at my speeds it appears that Apple presently is limiting it. I have 1/2 a gig of upload speed but i'm showing about 200 gig going up and I have not limited by upload speed at all. When doing an icloud backup from an iOS device it uses ALL the bandwidth and that slows other devices on the network and often disrupts connections so I think this may be intentional to throttle the upload of photos. I have 50K pictures as well and I've been at it for several weeks with very little progress.
A: You can try using the Network Link Conditioner (NLC) system preference panel from the Apple Developer site to limit your network connection speed.
https://developer.apple.com/downloads/index.action…
After you install NLC, open it and create a new profile. Limit the Uplink speed. I chose about 60% of my available uplink bandwidth and that seems to work OK. Set the Downlink limit to something at least close to your ISP's bandwidth or above.
You'll probably need to play around with the limits. Remember that it affects all of the network traffic in and out of the computer so something like a Time Capsule backup might go really, really slowly.

Q: How to change keyboard type if that option is no longer visible? I am using an EU keyboard layout and the button below the ESC key is "double quotes" on OSX 10.10.3
Suddenly that key is automatically changed to the < >| key
I checked keyboard layout and it is correct.
I think the keyboard assistant (which asks you to press the button near the left shift) can solve this issue, but I can't find that utility. System Preferences > Keyboard no longer shows Change Keyboard Type.
How can I find/open that Keyboard Assistant or make that Change Keyboard Type button appear again?
A: You might be able to launch Keyboard Setup Assistant manually, if the 'Change Keyboard Type' button is missing..
It's in /System/Library/CoreServices/KeyboardSetupAssistant.app
I'm not sure what governs its running. I can run it manually on one Mac with Mojave, but not another on Big Sur [It looks like it's going to launch, but doesn't].

A: I'm probably missing something, but try to go into System Preferences, Keyboard and then choose the Input Sources tab. Check the Show Input menu in menu bar (so you can choose your keyboard easily later) and -if needed- add any keyboard layout you may be missing from there. Btw, the only keyboards I could find with double quotes under the ESC key are Croation, Serbian and Slovenian... Is it one of these you mean with EU ?

Q: Mac Mail - Account already exists error when adding gmail I added a new gmail account to Mac Mail via the File> Add Account, but the mailbox does not show up in mail.
If I try to add it again, it says the account already exists. It does exist in System Preferences > Internet Accounts, but does not exist in Mail.
I am updated to 10.10.3 and Mail.app is Version 8.2 (2098)
Anyone have a fix?
A: For me the problem turned out to be simpler. "Mail" was not enabled for my Google account. To fix it:
*
*Open System Preferences
*Go to Internet Accounts
*Check your Google account. Make sure that "Mail" is enabled.

A: For me the problem turned out to be simpler. "Mail" was not enabled for my Google account. To fix it:
*
*Open System Preferences
*Go to Internet Accounts
*Check your Google account. Make sure that "Mail" is enabled.
A: I had exactly the same problem with my Mail (8.2 (2098)). I think that the problem was caused by the fact that I was living in China, so the Great Firewall blocked (almost) all Google-related connections. I had to use VPN-connection to access Gmail.
I tried your methods without success. Nevertheless, I found out that Google was actually blocking the Mail connection attemps so I had to "unblock" it by the next easy steps:
*
*Start the browser on your device
*Sign in to Gmail
*Go here: https://accounts.google.com/b/0/DisplayUnlockCaptcha - press Continue
*Go back to your client and try the failed operation again.
I hope this was helpful.
A: Go to System Preferences and then Internet Accounts and tick off Mail.
This would work in the case that: you already have the account set up, but have Mail disabled on it. (For instance, you may have only Calendar and Contacts sync enabled on it currently).
A: I read the other responses, they didn't work for me (and I don't want to log out of Icloud because that's a time waster).
This is the way I fixed it:
*
*Create a mail alias (you can find this in settings of outlook.com or
gmail)
*Use this alias to log in
*Go to settings and set the alias to your original
*Stop wasting time on this unprofessional bug of apple
A: Yes - this can be caused by three things. iCloud being messed up (and trying to sync your internet accounts) and corruption on the Mail settings and corruption in general in your user settings.
To troubleshoot this:
A. Write down your add/remove procedure and don't deviate from it. My guess is it should be:
*
*Quit Mail and make sure it doesn't launch when you log in
*Remove the account from system prefs
*Reboot
*Add the account in - optionally test something other than mail first like a bogus calendar entry to check the account and google servers.
*Test Mail by enabling the account and then finally launching Mail
B. Set up a brand new user account - with no iCloud and no Apple ID. Try adding the mail account there from System Preferences - Internet Accounts Preference Pane
If that doesn't work - your gmail is messed up or you need to reinstall the Mac from scratch (i.e. something is really wrong with the OS - this would be my last resort - make sure Gmail settings are clear at that point before backing up and wiping the Mac)
C. Sign out of iCloud on your Mac with your normal account.
Get a good backup before you delete content on the Mac. You will want to delete anything that's synced to iCloud to let the system clear out data that depends on iCloud. If you're paranoid, export data like Contacts and Calendar to a stand alone export/backup before you take this step. Then repeat the remove/add procedure.
D. Go to the logs. You'll need to run sysdiagnose Mail and then get into Console app and perhaps Log Connection Activity by opening the Mail Connection Doctor and checking that option.
A: Open System Preferences, click on Internet Accounts and Google (mail), then you see some checkbox so click on Mail app. Then you will easily be able to login.
A: I was struggling with this and tried all of the other answers.
On closer inspection in the Accounts list I found that during my El Capitan upgrade the installer had renamed one of my email accounts to be the same as another (I missed this in my list of a dozen or so accounts), and disabled the account. It was the account that El Capitan said already existed.
I simply correctly renamed the account and re-enabled it. (And then had to go fix all of the many rules referencing the account and its mailboxes).
A: My version of this issue is that:
- my apple or iCloud id is [email protected]
- the email account I'm trying to add is also [email protected]
Here's what works for me:
- remove iCloud account
- add my gmail account
- add iCloud account
Seems like this may be a bug with Apple's "internet account" software.
A: I did the following and it worked: I put in a wrong password, the whole info came up, put in the right password, and voila
A: I tried many solutions, however the only thing that solved my issue was to add my gmail account using "Add Other Account..." with incoming server "pop.gmail.com" and outgoing server "smtp.gmail.com"... instead of clicking on the Google logo for adding an "Internet Account" in OSX.
A: I had a related problem: I changed the password on my Google accounts, and discovered that I couldn't get Apple Mail/Internet Accounts to update -- I'd enter the new password but get the "account already exists" error message. The solution turned out to be easy. I went into my Keychains, looked for everything with "google" in it, and removed them all. Some of them were more than two years old, and I've changed my Google password several times in that period. Once that was clean, I was able to set up Google anew in the Internet Accounts section and everything synced.
A: I have had the same problem on my new MacAir running 10.11.3, for both yahoo & Gmail.
For me it was solved by simply un-ticking & then re-ticking the mail option for both accounts -> Internet Accounts -> System Preferences. Both accounts then appeared in the Mail app and emails very quickly started to sync.
A: I found a solution that worked for me and was pretty quick and easy. It's posted over here:
http://disq.us/p/1docj72
It basically asserts that the iCloud is conflicting with the account, so you log out of iCloud, then enter the passwords, then log back in.
iCloud will scare you (maybe rightfully so) by warning you that it will delete all your data when you log out - seems insane, doesn't it! But, when you log back in, it will restore all that data (caveat, I don't use iCloud for much of my data, so you probably want to be sure to have a back up, just in case - TimeMachine will probably do)
A: I did not have to delete my iCloud account and it turned out the answer was very simple. When you are in accounts, and it wants you to enter "Outgoing SMTP account" enter the name of the account that you already set up with the SMTP information. The User Name, Password, Host name, Port and authentication will automatically be entered. Press save.
A: This helped me (and prevented me from doing a complete wipe out of my mac) : https://discussions.apple.com/thread/7260368?start=0&tstart=0

A: Using iTerm built-in custom keyboard shortcuts.
If you update to iTerm v.3.4.10+, You can add any custom shortcut to open as many as new windows (mimicking the behavior of awesome windows manager in Linux).
You need:
*
*Ensure you have toggled the Native full-screen windows option.
*Create a customer shortcut by clicking (+) and add (New Window with profile) and select the customer shortcut (mine is command + return) and I also picked a profile that I created.
Then you get something like this:
Now, when you click (command + enter) a new item window popup and you can hit again to open as many as you want (it will be helpful if you have a nice windows manager such as Amethyst (the one I am using, check here: https://ianyh.com/amethyst/)

Q: ICS invites are added to calendar, but no acceptance sent I am working with iCloud, iPhone and Macbook Pro on Yosemite.
I receive ICS calendar invites via mail from a user using Outlook. When I click on the ICS file in the mail, it opens and I can add it to my calendar without a problem. It also syncs nicely on all my devices.
However, the sender of the invite does not get a confirmation, in the meeting properties I'm shown as "did not reply". When I open the invite in my calendar, I have no option to accept or send a notification.
In short: ICS invites are added to my calendar but the organizer does not receive a notification.
How can I send an accept notification?
A: Open the Contacts app, select your own email address in the list of contacts. In the menu on top of the screen, go to "Card" -> "Make this my card". Ensure your email address is entered as part of your card. Reload calendar. Then it should work, you will get a notification popup with accept/decline buttons. (I just had the same problem, on a Mac running Yosemite)

Q: In iTerm, how can I change alt+delete to ignore slashes? I set up my iTerm to work a lot like OSX does in other text fields, eg ⌘ Command+Delete = delete line backward, ⌥ Option+left arrow = "move cursor back one word" and ⌥ Option+Delete = delete word backward, but the way I have it, ⌥ Option+Delete in bash/iTerm doesn't count / as a word separator, so if I have cd a/path/to/a/folder and I hit ⌥ Option+Delete it deletes the whole path, instead of just folder.
How can I set it up so that ⌥ Option+Delete only gets rid of folder? I realize this might need a bash solution, or an iTerm solution, but I don't know which. Or maybe it needs both.
A: In order to get this to work, in iTerm preferences I had to set the key alt+backspace (or w/e you have it as) to map to these hex codes:
0x1B 0x08
If using zsh, add the following to .zshrc:
autoload -U select-word-style
select-word-style bash

Q: Determine xcode command line tools version How do I determine what version(s) of xcode command line tools I have?
I tried doing
$ gcc --version
Configured with: --prefix=/Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/usr --with-gxx-include-dir=/usr/include/c++/4.2.1
Apple LLVM version 6.1.0 (clang-602.0.49) (based on LLVM 3.6.0svn)
Target: x86_64-apple-darwin14.1.0
Thread model: posix
Is the Apple LLVM version the same as the version of xcode command line tools?
A: Finding the CLI version number depends on the combination of which particular OS and which particular CLI Tools are installed. One of these should work:
On versions 10.9 and later (OS X Yosemite to macOS Monterey):
pkgutil --pkg-info=com.apple.pkg.CLTools_Executables
on OS X 10.8 (Mountain Lion):
pkgutil --pkg-info=com.apple.pkg.DeveloperToolsCLI

None of the available answers to get the version worked. pkgutil didn't give me the package of the XCode Commandline Tools, with none of the suggested package names.
Not having XCode installed (and having no need for it), I could not look in settings dialogs of that either.
xcode-select --version only gave me the version of xcode-select itself, with no clue as to the commandline tools version.
softwareupdate --list told me everything was up to date.
However I knew that my version must be out of date as the installer for one of homebrew packages told me so!
How I finally found out what version of the XCode Commandline Tools is installed I stumbled upon the command:
softwareupdate --history
Which listed 12.3 as the last version it updated...
Display Name Version Date
------------ ------- ----
Safari 14.0 04/11/2020, 12:26:12
Command Line Tools for Xcode 12.1 04/11/2020, 22:38:33
Safari 14.0.2 15/12/2020, 16:38:27
Safari 14.0.1 15/12/2020, 16:38:27
Command Line Tools for Xcode 12.3 15/12/2020, 16:38:27
macOS Big Sur 11.2.1 14/02/2021, 20:57:56
macOS Big Sur 11.2.2 11.2.2 08/03/2021, 09:02:20
So when you know for sure the commandline tools are installed (because, for instance, xcode-select --install tells you so) but none of the other methods works, check softwareupdate --history!
A: For modern versions of xcode the command xcode-select --version will display the version number of command line tools, whether or not Xcode.app is installed.
I'm answering against the more recent version (where the tools actually are in the Xcode.app pkg), but I'm pretty sure that if the path & output returned by xcode-select -p, gcc -v, and llvm-gcc -v/clang -v are harmonious then they should be the same, i.e.
$ xcode-select -p
/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer
$ gcc -v
Configured with: --prefix=/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/usr --with-gxx-include-dir=/usr/include/c++/4.2.1
Apple LLVM version 6.1.0 (clang-602.0.49) (based on LLVM 3.6.0svn)
Target: x86_64-apple-darwin14.3.0
Thread model: posix
$ llvm-gcc -v
Apple LLVM version 6.1.0 (clang-602.0.49) (based on LLVM 3.6.0svn)
Target: x86_64-apple-darwin14.3.0
Thread model: posix
$ clang -v
Apple LLVM version 6.1.0 (clang-602.0.49) (based on LLVM 3.6.0svn)
Target: x86_64-apple-darwin14.3.0
Thread model: posix
Note that llvm-gcc is a link to clang,
$ls -al /usr/bin/llvm-gcc
lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 5 Oct 19 2014 /usr/bin/llvm-gcc -> clang
so the output of llvm-gcc -v and clang -v should be identical although that may or may not be the case for you (see https://stackoverflow.com/a/5708732/602581 for some more details)
A: In terminal do
xcodebuild -version
Or, if you know the full path of xcodebuild, you can prepend that. In my case, I did
/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/usr/bin/xcodebuild -version
example output:
Xcode 10.1
Build version 10B61
(adapted from https://www.garron.me/en/bits/what-xcode-version-am-i-running.html).
A: pkgutil --pkg-info=com.apple.pkg.CLTools_Executables | grep version

Q: atd stopped working on OS X 10.10.3 I'm using OS X Yosemite, just updated to 10.10.3 and the at command and related (atq, atrm etc) have stopped working. Has atd been disabled in the latest 10.10.3? If so how do I investigate and reenable the required permissions?
~$ atq
atq: cannot regain privs: Operation not permitted
As background, I have a job that runs daily (using launchd) and submits a list of jobs to atd. The list of jobs are related to events occurring that day so they change times daily. So I use atd to run these jobs based on the daily event times.
It has been working fine up until the recent upgrade to 10.10.3.
/usr/libexec/atrun is enabled and running fine, according to launchd.
A: That message suggests that you don't have the correct privileges to run atq. Try running it with sudo from the command line to see if that helps i.e.:
> atq
atq: cannot regain privs: Operation not permitted
> sudo atq
Password:

A: I just installed the 10.10.4 update from Apple today.
I noticed that the at command works. But that is not all you have to do to enable the service. What you have to do is to edit the /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.atrun.plist and change the "true" to "false" after the disabled XML section. Then you can use command
launchctl load /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.atrun.plist
to start it up.

Q: How do I delete unlinked folders from iCloud.com How can I remove unlinked folders, such as "Readdle Documents" in iCloud Drive, left behind after uninstalling the app?
A: Go to ~/Library/Application Support/CloudDocs/session/containers, and delete everything you don't want to keep (make a backup first).
And all the hidden folders at the iCloud Drive Folder should be gone.

And all the hidden folders at the iCloud Drive Folder should be gone.
A: On new iOS, you can use the files app to navigate and delete these files.
*
*https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT206481
Before that app shipped, there wasn't a file browser on iOS and Apple didn't expose that functionality to users.
There is a file browser on OS X, but the "truth" for App Folders is currently stored in iCloud, so you can't delete a folder on OS X and have it stay deleted. The bird daemon will re-download the folder from the cloud if you try. The developer that created those folders will have to implement a clean up routine (similar to how 1Password allows you to instruct the app to delete iCloud data and the program itself removes the data).
If you created the folder or document from OS X, then you can drag that folder to your desktop (or elsewhere) and you'll be notified of the pending
deletion from iCloud.
Pay attention to the kind column to determine if you need the App to delete things or if you are trying to delete a normal file or folder. For more information you can use the command brctl log --wait to see status, minor errors and warnings of the iCloud folder and file syncing from OS X using terminal.app.
A: I followed those steps to get rid of the hidden folder (be sure to have a backup!):
*
*Uninstall the app on all devices
*Delete the folder in the iCloud web interface
*Delete every folder related to the application from ~/Library/Application Support/CloudDocs/session/containers
*Delete every folder related to the application from
~/Library/Mobile\ Documents/ as described in this Ask Different
answer
*Reboot after a few minutes
This also caused iCloud to do a complete re-sync of all iCloud documents for me. But the hidden folder is gone.
A: After abortive attempts to upload my iCloud Photos Library (iCPL) and then wiping it again in various ways, there were left behind "All Events" folders, originating from the old iPhoto Events folder. Once the original copy on the computer was lost, it was not possible to remove the iCloud.com version. They were "orphaned". My question to Ask Different was about how to remove the orphaned folders. I got no answers or suggestions...
I made many attempts to delete the library from iCloud and start afresh. Apple assisted in this, but thought that I must have something wrong with my library. I had had to use iPhoto Library Manager to rebuild it, before I could get it to upload at all, because it contained a folder with 1.6Gb of iPod thumbs.
I had uploaded the library maybe twenty times and had exceeded my ISP quota for the month, which cost a lot of money.
Then Apple deleted the library using the Preferences iCloud option, which I had done myself several times already. But since, this time, the Undo Delete also stopped working, I had to wait nearly thirty days, before they finally reset iCloud.com>Photos back to the splash screen.
After installing a diagnostic profiler for Photos, I created a new empty library and re-enabled iCPL. Immediately the rogue All Events folder, containing 1266 images, reappeared in iCloud.com>Photos. Maybe this convinced Apple that it was not being inadvertently uploaded from my computer.
So, after three months of investigation and liaison with Engineering in Cupertino, Dallas and Dublin, and uploading numerous diagnostic reports, I now note that on the 12th May 2015, this problem has finally been solved by Apple themselves. Various posts on the Apple Support Forum (ASC) confirm this. e.g.: Apple Support Community
On logging into iCloud.com in Safari, the iCloud Photos Library (iCPL) was reloaded from a new splash screen, in my iCloud.com>Photos and is now being kept in sync with the library on my computer and iPhone.
iCloud.com>Photos
icloud.com>photos Before
Multiple Legacy All Events folders
Unresponsive Recently Deleted folder
Unable to Undo Delete
Complete set of obsolete images in one All Events folder
Final corrected version
Readdle...
There was also an orphan Readdle Documents folder in iCloud.com>iCloud Drive, after uninstalling the app.
This Readdle Documents folder has been removed from Cloud.com.icloud>iCloud Drive, but remains as a hidden file in iCloud drive on my computer.
I now have an email from the developers at Readdle, saying that:
"It is technically impossible from our side to delete the folder. Only Apple manages this process. I recommend you to try signing out from your iCloud account on your Mac and re-add it. It may solve the issue."
I am reluctant to take any action at present.
Edit: I finally got round to logging out of iCloud and back in again. It has removed the Readdle Documents folder from iCloud Drive on the computer.
PS. The hidden folder appeared right back on to the computer, after a day or so...
Legacy Readdle Documents Folder
Readdle folder removed from iCloud.com>iCloud Drive
Readdle folder still on computer, but hidden

Q: How to get Apples Human Interface Guidelines as pdf (latest version 2015)? I have been trying to download Apple HIG in PDF, only thing I found was Apple HIG documentation which just gives me an ePub file for iBooks.
Things I've (unsuccessfully) tried:
*
*share/export from iBook as PDF (no luck)
*looked in ~/Library/Containers/com.apple.BKAgentService/Data/Documents/iBooks/Books
(no PDF)
*open ePub in iBooks Author (can't open)
So how can I either get the latest HIG as a PDF or convert the ePub into PDF?
A: iBooks has changed the download location to the "Desktop" for I don't know which reason. I found the iOS Human interface.epub file and loaded it with the iBooks Author app.
There I went "File" - "New from ePub file..." . After the app loaded the file I went for "File" and "Export" and finally as PDF.
I also tried downloading the .epub file onto iBooks on my iPad. There is no export option available and the mailing open only mails the link from the iTunes store and NOT the .epub file itself. Hopefully this helps someone...
Found the solution by accident , since I didn't expect the .epub file to be on my desktop...
