Q: Is there a calendar app that supports email reminders? I use Google sync to coordinate my Google calendar with my iPhone. The iPhone calendar app does not support creating email reminders. Is there an iPhone calendar app that supports creating email reminders so that when I create an event on my iPhone I get an email reminder to my Gmail account?
A: There is a Google Calendar app that allows you to add email notifications:
Go to the event, scroll down a little, tap on "Add a notification" and then on "Custom"

A: Calendars 5 by Readdle is the only app I know that does this, but lately the app has been crashing a lot so I can't really recommend it. Now that I use Things for reminders I'm going to try switching away from email reminders and just scheduling items in Things instead.

Q: How to completely erase the Photo Library on an iPhone? I decided to delete all of my iPhone's photos and videos so I copied everything to iPhoto and deleted everything on my phone. After that, I decided to backup my phone through iTunes. Then I reinstalled iOS 7.1 through iTunes (via ipsw and Restore phone). After a few minutes, I was able to restore everything. The phone is much faster than before. The only problem is, the Photo Library still consumes space.
A: Photos and videos shared through MMS or iMessage take up space. You can delete these to reclaim space from Messages.

Howto uninstall them properly? He didn't uninstall because updated without brew cask?
A: In 2022, you can use:
brew uninstall --zap firefox
According to the documentation:
The zap stanza describes a more complete uninstallation of files associated with a Cask.
[...]
zap stanzas may remove:
Preference files and caches stored within the user’s ~/Library directory.
Shared resources such as application updaters. Since shared resources may be removed, other applications may be affected by brew uninstall --zap. Understanding that is the responsibility of the end user.

It is possible that if the user updated the application manually and not using brew that it will have to be uninstalled manually.
You can check and see if there are any receipts in your Receipts folder:
ls /private/var/db/receipts
and use the application's receipt .bom file and lsbom to Trash all files installed by the application as described here: Uninstall applications installed from packages Install
Homebrew seems to be taking the world by storm, according to Homebrew enthusiasts. I find Homebrew to be more or less incomplete, with barely any support, and has ambitions beyond its capability, perhaps because it is still in its infancy, or perhaps because it attempts to compete with a fully mature, complete, fully supported, end to end source and binary package management solution for OS X, i.e. MacPorts

Q: How to stop apps from opening automatically when I plug things in I do iOS development work, and I can't stand how iTunes and iPhoto automatically open when I plug in a device.
I don't want anything to ever open automatically when I plug something in.
How do I make it so?
A: In iPhoto > Preferences > General select "Connecting Camera opens: no application"
In iTunes select your device and go to Summary and make sure "Automatically sync when this iPhone [or whatever device it is] is connected" is unchecked.
I'm not certain the second one will completely solve opening iTunes since I can't test it as I don't have a cable here with me.

Q: How to remove a book from iBooks I "bought" a free book on iBooks Store, the book is on my iCloud.
Now I would to remove it, but I cannot find a way to do it.
A: Under iOS, it is possible to achieve the same thing according to this page
*
*Open the iBooks app.
*Tap "My Books" at the bottom of the screen.
*Tap "All Books" in the middle of the upper bar.
*Switch on "Hide iCloud Books" at the bottom of the screen.
That's it !

*
*Open the iBooks app.
*Tap "My Books" at the bottom of the screen.
*Tap "All Books" in the middle of the upper bar.
*Switch on "Hide iCloud Books" at the bottom of the screen.
That's it !
A: *
*On a Mac, open the iBooks app.
*Go to the iBooks Store (left of the toolbar, at the top).
*On the right-hand-side, in the Quick Links list, click the Purchased link.
*Books will appear; find the one you want to remove and hover your mouse over the cover.
*A little 'x' will appear; click it to remove the book.
The book will no longer come up in iBooks (or any other locations), no matter whether you have set iBooks to show or hide iCloud items.
A: First, delete the local copy by selecting it and pressing delete and then confirming by pressing the "Delete" button in the confirmation dialog.
Now if the book is displaying with the iCloud icon you can hide the iCloud purchases, by clicking on the "Sort By" menu and making sure "Show Purchases in iCloud" is unchecked. If that was already unchecked, then the book's icon will simply disappear.
A: On the Mac you can tick Menu > View > Hide purchases (I work on a Dutch system, so I hope this is correct); on iOS you can do this in Preferences > iBooks > Show all purchases.
You can hide all unwanted books in iTunes on the Mac forever…
A: For iOS, what worked for me was: ibooks / library / choose the view=pdf's or books (note that pdf are always downloaded but books can be in app store aka cloud only) / click button on right 'select' / choose one or more books to remove / click 'delete' / choose the kind of deletion. I choosed keep in cloud and just remove the download.
This just saved me almost a GB.
A: To Delete a book from the iBook library :
*
*Click on iBooks
*Click on the desired book you want deleted (But be sure the book does not pop up )
*Now right click , Click on delete
Now The Book Is Deleted

Q: Control and see iPhone from Mac with broken iPhone screen My iPhone screen broke, I can't see anything anymore. But I know it's still working because plugging to my mac syncs it with iTunes.
Is there a tool I can use to see my screen on the mac, control it, etc?
The tricky part is any solution requiring me to first do something on the iPhone won't work, since I can't do anything...
A: Just use QuickTime Player on your Mac.
*
*Connect the Lightning port from your iPhone to the USB to your computer.
*In QuickTime select File → New Movie Recording but don't start the recording.
*Next to the record button select the down arrow button, then select your iPhone. This will bring the iPhone's display screen to your Mac within QuickTime.
You don't have to record anything, you can use your non-working display and look inside QuickTime to see your screen.

You don't have to record anything, you can use your non-working display and look inside QuickTime to see your screen.
A: No one actually fully answered the original question yet.
Is there a tool I can use to see my screen on the mac, control it, etc?
You can control your idevice (not only view it's screen) given you have a mac / PC paired with it (that is, you had them connected in the past using USB cable, and pressed the "Trust" button on the iPhone's screen alert).
There are a few UI automation tools that are capable of doing that. Try the evaluation version of SeeTest Automation for instance.
You will be required to generate Apple's provision profile unique for your iPhone (in an automatic, free of charge process) which will allow viewing and controlling your phone, managing applications etc.
EDIT (or How To Trust a Device with Broken Screen)
What you will need:
*
*Having Siri turned on / triple tap on home to activate VoiceOver
*a bluetooth keyboard.
*a Lightning to USB adapter.
*a simple USB keyboard.
If your device was not previously trusted by any computer, and you cannot tap "Trust this computer" on your broken screen, you might be able to use VoiceOver with a USB and Bluetooth keyboards to virtually tap trust (and generally to control the device) even with broken screen.
The trick is to bring up the trust alert by connecting the lightning port to a computer running iTunes (or Xcode), and then tap the "Trust" button using Space / Enter key on VoiceOver and a bluetooth keyboard (this must be a bluetooth keyboard since the USB connection cannot be used for communicating with the computer AND with a keyboard simultaneously).
*
*If you have a bluetooth keyboard paired with your Apple device,
great. Just connect the device to your computer, open iTunes and hit Space (not sure right now, maybe it was Enter...). If you have problems with that, or you are not sure whether the alert is displayed, read further and turn on VoiceOver.
*Turn on VoiceOver:
*
*To do that, use Siri (assuming it is configured). Just Say "Hi Siri,
turn on VoiceOver".
*If Siri is off, some iOS versions are configured by default to turn VoiceOver on/off using triple tap on home button.
*If you have a paired bluetooth keyboard, skip to step 6. Now that VoiceOver is turned on, you will need a USB keyboard to navigate to the Bluetooth settings (of course, if the screen still responds to touch you will not need the keyboard, just listen to the instructions and tap):
*
*Connect a USB keyboard to the device using Lightning to USB adapter (it is meant for camera, but will also work with standard keyboards).
*Navigate to the Settings app using VoiceOver (this is a tricky part, controlling VoiceOver is a mastery...). Basically the Left / Right arrow keys are used for navigation of UI items, Left + Right keys for "Quick Nav On" and Up + Down keys to activate an item.
*In the Settings app, go to Bluetooth settings and pair the keyboard.
*Once you have a bluetooth keyboard paired, connect the device to a computer, and control VoiceOver with the keyboard to trust it. Now you can proceed to using any viewing tool you like.
P.S. You might also be able to see your screen without trusting the device (and using Quicktime) by using a Lightning AV Adapter. But I've never given it a try...
A: If you own an apple tv you could use airplay mirroring to see exactly what happens on your iPhone.
It will require you to blindly enable it on your phone but there aren't that many steps in this process.
Here you can see how to enable it on your phone.
You could also try reflector but again this requires you to enable airplay blindly
A: If your device is jailbroken then use veency or any other vnc server, install it via ssh and proxy through usb to iphone, you'll see you screen and will be able to control it, use any vnc client on mac.
A: download "itools" and in there you will see airplay so you can plug it to computer or even to your flat-tv using macbook pro
A: Google for 'Tight VNC' (requires a jailbroken deivce though)

Open this selector and you see "custom size".
If you enter 768 x 1024 in the resulting window the slides wil be in a vertical orientation.
ps. my keynote version is 6.2 and it is in dutch so I don't know what the menu items will be called in your version

Q: OS X Terminal not recognizing any commands I recently tried to install CoffeeScript on my mac and now am unable to use even the most basic of commands like ls, cd and so on. Something tells me that it's because the $PATH variable has changed. I remember having to do that when I tried to make the installation. I tried following the instructions found here, but it doesn't work because the vi command isn't found.
Upon entering echo $PATH in the terminal, it reads /usr/local/bin:
A: To reset your path, remove the line that sets the path from your ~/.bash_profile or equivalent, then reopen your Terminal.
Edit it with /usr/bin/nano, or /usr/bin/open, or TextMate, or any other text editor. It's not that no command can be reached, but that the PATH doesn't include these binaries—they can still be manually opened by providing the path or using cd to the directory.

A: You corrupted your PATH variable definition. Without any indication of which method you choosed to modify it, I will make the hypothesis that you
modified it within your ~/.bash_profile.
To recover from this situation, you will have to come back to a working shell environment and then try to fix correctly and test your ~/.bash_profile.
Recovery of a working ~/.bash_profile: none
Remove your ~/.bash_profile and create a backup of it.
Since your PATH is not trustable, don't use it (use the full path of mv):
/bin/mv ~/.bash_profile ~/.bash_profile.bak
Open a new Terminal window, within this one, every command should be
found. Check that you recovered a working PATH:
echo $PATH
If you find it easier, after this check, you could restart your session so
that any new shell will get a working PATH.
Analyze what is wrong in your ~/.bash_profile
grep PATH ~/.bash_profile.bak
Fix and test it
Rather to fall back again with an unfunctionnal PATH, use the backup
file of your ~/.bash_profile to fix it there it and test it.
To test it enter:
. ~/.bash_profile.bak
echo $PATH
Put back in place the validated /.bash_profile
Once you are satisfied, and you checked you have access to all your
commands:
mv ~/.bash_profile.bak ~/.bash_profile
and if you want to use it immediatly without restarting your full session,
just enter:
. ~/.bash_profile
A: It sounds like you removed or didn't configure your PATH environment variable correctly. Try removing that line from ~/.bash_profile then open a new terminal window and verify that your paths are set correctly.
You don't have to use a command line text editor, you can use BareBones Software's excellent and free TextWrangler. This should reduce errors trying to figure out how vi works.
If you do not want to install another app, vi is located at /usr/bin/vi. For command line editors I would recommend pico over vi /usr/bin/pico which is much more user friendly than vi or emacs, but is clunky when compared to TextWrangler. Pico puts all of the relevant commands at the bottom of the editing window.
Good Luck!

Q: How to burn a .mp4 to DVD+R I have the osx version 10.9.2
I can't find any way to burn my .mp4 file to a DVD+R.
Can anyone recommend a way to do this?
A: There is a freeware software called Burn:
Made your own movies and want to share them with family and friends? No problem. Burn can create a wide range of video discs. From VideoCD to DVD-Video discs. And DivX discs to fit more of your videos on a disc.
I use it all the time for burning mp4s to DVDs, the finished product will also work with DVD Players too.

I use it all the time for burning mp4s to DVDs, the finished product will also work with DVD Players too.
A: A lot of what you are trying to do depends on what you plan on doing with the resultant DVD. If you just want to play that file on a Mac than all you have to do is put it in a folder, right-click and select the option for burning the folder to disk (sorry, it's been a while since I did this and don't have a current Mac to reference at work for the exact procedure.)
However if you then want to play the DVD in a DVD player hooked up to a TV you may have issues with that. Look at the manual for the DVD player (or find it online) and see what disk formats it supports. Some do support movie files of various types burned to a CD or DVD (note that DVD+R is a newer format designed to avoid licensing the original [now called DVD-R] format and not all players play both kinds of discs.)
Also burning a DVD+R in the Finder will give you a Mac formatted disc that will not play on a PC and MAY not play on a DVD or Blu-Ray player. Check the specs on the DVD player for that as well.
If I need to burn an actual DVD (like you get movies and TV shows on commercially) I use Toast which can transcode the MP4 file into a format any standard DVD player will understand. I haven't done that in a number of years as I just play those files using Plex on a Mac Mini plugged into my TV.
Toast is a commercial product that you'll have to purchase. There may be shareware/freeware programs that do this but I don't know what they are.
A: Apple has removed iDVD from their suite. You will need to use a tool like iMovie (which is no longer free), or a 3rd party utility like burn

Q: Is there a way to set application-specific 'hot corners' in OS X? OS X's 'hot corners' feature is great, but I'd like to use it in just one specific application - or, set a specific hot corner action for one app, and a different action (for the same corner) in another app.
Is there a tool that can do this?
The tool CornerClick seems to have a lot of custom features over OS X's own one, but from a brief look it doesn't seem it offers a way to actually isolate/customize hot corners to specific apps per se.
A: CornerClick and AppleScript
Try creating an AppleScript that is triggered by CornerClick. Your AppleScript could check which application is front most and act accordingly.
Enhancement Request
Also, consider opening an enhancement request with CornerClick. The project is open source and your interest may help motivate the author, or other developers, to improve the product.

Q: How do I know which App is sending Vibrate-only Notification? I have an iPhone 5s, iOS 7.1.1, with around 200 Apps installed.
Recently my phone receives some notifications which does not appear in Notification Center, Lock Screen, or Badge Icons. It only vibrates (no sound too).
How do I know which App is triggering this notification?
A: Go into settings>notification center. Look for any apps that only have sounds, then disable it.

Q: Is there a way to cycle between full screen windows on OS X? I have multiple Safari windows in fullscreen mode and I'd like to cycle through them using the keyboard (pretty much like command + ` works when windows are not fullscreen'd). I know I can control + ->/<-, but that will make me pass through all my non Safari windows. Is that even possible?
A: The short answer is no. OS X, by default, does not have a method which allows you to contextually change between spaces, staying in the current application.
From my experience, your best bet is likely to focus on tabs for your navigation, replacing (or augmenting) spaces. Safari tabs can be switched between with the keyboard using Command+Shift+{ and Command+Shift+}, which would give you functionally the ability to quickly switch between pages, while still not worrying about other applications getting in the way.

A: I just tried having multiple Safari tabs open at once and was able to do the 3-finger swipe to switch between each space, which got me to the tabs.
A: I've tried something like that but it seems that fullscreen apps turn into new desktops.
When you open exposé(F3) with fullscreen apps running you can see the "new" desktops for each app.
A: I don't have a Mavericks machine to test with but older Mac OSes use CMD+` to cycle through an application's windows. This worked just now on Snow Leopard.

Q: How to update XCode with a different userid? So i have been given a macbook by my employer which was used by previous developer for iOS development. Now Appstore is asking me to update XCode to new version and when I am trying to update , it keeps asking me to login using Apple ID. In pop up window, it keeps showing me old user's apple id and doesn't let me change also. It is frustrating that Apple doesn't allow a different user to update the software unless that user has installed it. Any solution for this problem?
I came across https://stackoverflow.com/questions/10395077/updating-xcode-using-different-apple-account this. The solution here says to delete the XCode from launchpad and then reinstall it. My question is if I delete XCode , will it affect existing iOS project files which were created using XCode?
A: Delete the app from /Applications and then re-download it from your preferred Apple ID. Launchpad deletion is a bit cleaner, but does the same thing, preserving user files created by Xcode, but deleting the application itself.
Unless you stored project files in /Applications, you won't affect project files or user settings since they get stored by default in /Users

A: To make the AppStore forget the old credentials with which the app was downloaded, you must remove the _MASReceipt directory in the XCode app package itself.
*
*Open Finder and navigate to Applications
*Ctrl+Click XCode and choose "Show Package Contents"
*Expand the Contents directory and click _MASReceipt to select it
*Press Cmd+Delete to delete the directory permanently—you will be prompted for your credentials since this is a protected file.
*Quit and restart AppStore.

Q: Set Safari 7 dv tools console to clear on reload? I use Safari 7.03 for web development.
One thing I noticed is that the console log doesn't re-set on a reload of the page. You need to clear it manually.
So if you run a page with a JS error, it shows, then you fix the error in your JS code and reload the page and the error is still in the log -- but it's from the LAST time.
Chrome clears the error log every time. Is this a setting in Safari somewhere?
A: Either inline in your HTML, or in an external Javascript file.
Call the function console.clear();
Now, every time you go to reload your page, the console will be cleared.

Q: External drives won't mount on restart One of my staff just got a new Mac mini with the USB 3 ports and Mavericks. It has 2 Seagate GoFlex 3TB hard drives connected: 1 for Time Machine, the other for Dropbox files.
When the computer is restarted, the drives don't mount. They are not visible in Disk Utilities. Unplugging the drives and plugging them back in will mount them. I'd like everything to mount and Dropbox to start up automatically for this user, which worked on the old Mac mini she was using. Now she has to go through multiple steps every time she restarts, which is not ideal.
Any ideas what might be causing this behavior?
A: Open a terminal window and enter the following command:
sudo defaults write /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/autodiskmount AutomountDisksWithoutUserLogin -bool YES
That will prevent macOS X Lion, Mavericks and Yosemite from un-mounting drives at logout. Maybe that's the problem you're seeing as well.

A: It recently happened to me that my 1TB Seagate drive doesn't show up in diskutil in a iMac and in my Macbook Pro as it used to be.
I noticed that sometimes it doesn't show up on windows notebooks due to inadequate current supply in USB ports.
So my solution is just to replace the USB wire with another one (one comes with a LaCie disk), and every thing got fine.

Q: Custom Caching Limits for OS X Server In Server Manager, you can set predefined limits for the caching server. Is it possible to set a custom limit? Maybe through Terminal? How do I do this?
I want to limit caching to 100GB but my options are 25GB or 270GB or 755GB or Unlimited.
A: Your options aren't limited to the numbers printed below the scroll bar. You can drag between the options to select a value closer to your desired value:
You can set custom values if you really want to though. The cache size is stored in the CacheLimit key in the configuration plist which is located by default here:
/Library/Server/Caching/Config/Config.plist
<key>CacheLimit</key>
<real>268586281855</real>
The integer is bytes.

Ready for 10.9.2!
A: The only change you can make to the menubar appearance in OS X Mavericks, without installing third-party software, is to remove the translucency. This change can be found in Settings > Desktop & Screensaver, find a checkbox for "Translucent menu bar" at the bottom of the preference pane.
A: OS X limits the menu bar color to white or black, with a translucent or opaque effect. There are some clever menu bar color hacks in in this answer, by Hippo, but none of them let you change the menu bar text color.

Q: How can I let Windows XP read Mac OS Extended (Journaled) drives? How can I let another PC using Windows XP (Service Pack3) read Mac OS Extended (Journaled) volumes? Windows XP shows nothing.
A: Boot Camp Drivers
You can use the Boot Camp drivers which integrates HFS read/write into Explorer.
*
*http://support.apple.com/kb/DL830
You don't need Boot Camp to download/install the drivers.
HFSExplorer
Alternatively, you can use HFSExplorer:
HFSExplorer is an application that can read Mac-formatted hard disks and disk images.
It can read the file systems HFS (Mac OS Standard), HFS+ (Mac OS Extended) and HFSX (Mac OS Extended with case sensitive file names).

*
*First in System Preferences open Sharing
*Then check File Sharing and match folders that you want shared and with whom
*I allow both SMB and AFP. The SMB handles the translation for Windows.
These are the exact settings I use and I work and move files over Windows, OS X, and Linux.

A: Battery box or battery health. You could also contact Apple for a diagnostics test (they will text or email it to your iDevice)
A: there is a new app on the Apple store - Amperes. It shows the charging rate of your iPad/ iPhone.

Q: QuickLook blanks when displaying some images When using QuickLook to quickly look through multiple images (pressing space and then using the arrow keys to navigate), some images will not get displayed by QuickLook when hitting them up a second time (going back for example).
A GIF does a much better job than me showcasing the issue. So here's me previewing a few random images:
I have tried deleting
~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.QuickLookDaemon.plist ~/Library/Caches/com.apple.QuickLookDaemon/Cache.db
~/Library/Caches/com.apple.QuickLookDaemon32/Cache.db
~/Library/Containers/com.apple.quicklook.ui.helper
and restarting, unfortunately to no avail.
Repairing permissions and restarting the Finder in 32-bit mode, as suggested by others, don't appear to have any effect on this issue either.
This happens with all kinds of images, no matter their source or format.
A: This "blank Quicklook image" Bug is caused by the activation of the undocumented TextSelection-Feature.
As soon as I deleted that feature with this terminal command the blank images were never seen again ;-)
defaults delete com.apple.finder QLEnableTextSelection; killall Finder;
If this delete-command doesn't work for you, you could try to disable the feature with
defaults write com.apple.finder QLEnableTextSelection -boolean NO; killall Finder;

A: A temporary solution is to press ALT (twice) when presented with a grey image.
A: I'm using Yosemite. Tried all those approaches above, but they didn't last for long. But I did find one approach that DID work. Hold down the Option key before pressing Quick Look (the icon will change). The pictures will go to full screen. Then it won't fail to display. Press Esc to quit.
A: I wasn't able to simply delete the file to fix the problem. I had to go into my back up account and make a copy of the file from ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.finder.plist and then move it into my user account. I'm sure you could do the same thing with your Guest User account, too.
For me, the problem was caused by making the text in QuickLook copyable. I noticed when I turned on defaults write -g QLEnableTextSelection -bool true that the blank Quicklook bug was coming up as talked about in this thread. When I turned it off, (defaults write -g QLEnableTextSelection -bool false) the problem went away.
A: I have found the solution. I have Yosemite and none of this terminal line solutions worked for me, neither using Onyx.
Looks like Yosemite added native quicklook support for animated gifs. Just go to your library and delete the quicklook file you installed. Read N15h0 on answer 15 to get the procedure right.(on the bottom)
http://www.quicklookplugins.com/2009/10/01/animated-gif/
A: This might be some kind of rendering bug due to switching between images 'too fast' for the Mac to handle. In theory it could be due to the filesize and/or image dimensions that makes it a bit harder to render the images fast enough when scrolling through them quickly. Although they should be cached for a little while after viewing them so I wouldn't think this is the case.
I read here that there has been an occuring problem with Mavericks and QuickLook since the start and apparently it's not fixed yet. Hopefully some of the tips listed in that link is somewhat helpful for you. I'll google some more and edit this comment if I find something else of interest.

Q: MacBook Pro can't boot: shows Apple logo then grey screen There is a MacBook Pro from 2012 with Mountain Lion that won't boot. The Apple logo is showing, the spinning wheel and then it just goes to a solid grey screen.
*
*I've tried to hold Cmd+R while booting, this does nothing.
*I've tried to hold Shift while booting, this goes to a solid blue screen
*I've tried to hold Cmd+Option+R while booting, this does nothing either.
I'd rather not re-install OS X. Do I need to reset the NVRAM?
A: Try to do a file system check via single user mode.
*
*Reboot and immediately press Cmd+S
*Wait for the command line and then type /sbin/fsck -fy
*Have a tea. And a cookie.
*Have a look in the output. If the HDD is failing you might see something like I/O Error. If you see something like ***** FILE SYSTEM WAS MODIFIED ***** then you can try to do it once more. If Volume X appears to be OK then you might be lucky.
*Type reboot and let it boot.
More info on apple's website.
Good luck!

A: I've just recovered a Macbook (OS X 10.5.2, Leopard) which failed to boot because it got eternally stuck at a grey screen with an Apple logo and a spinning wheel.
The culprit was a corrupted configuration file (/etc/authorization), and below I'll describe how I found and resolved the issue.
First, I checked whether the hardware was okay, by rebooting and pressing D to run hardware diagnostics. The hardware was fine, so I continued to look for error messages.
After booting in Verbose mode (Command (⌘) + V), I saw that securityd crashed, and that a crash log was written to /Library/Logs/CrashReporter/securityd_2015-06-23-120634_localhost.crash. So once again I rebooted to get a shell in Single user mode (Command (⌘) + S). The log showed that the crash was caused by a call to CFDictionaryContainsKey (which triggered an EXC_BAD_ACCESS error). This fed my suspicion that the crash was caused by a bad configuration file.
I eventually came across this blog post, which suggests to use fs_usage to monitor and log the file activity:
mount -uw /
fs_usage > /var/log/fs-usage.log &
exit
After restarting, I looked in /var/log/fs-usage.log and found that securityd accessed private/etc/authorization before crashing. Then I viewed the content of /etc/authorization, and it was indeed broken beyond repair.
To recover this file, I searched for the original version of the file in the source of the securityd package (referenced at OS X 10.5.2's source code). I eventually found etc/authorization.plist, which had some similarities with the corrupted /etc/authorization.
To complete the recovery, I put the new etc/authorization.plist on a USB stick, plugged it into the Macbook (still in single user mode) and mounted the drive as follows:
mount -uw /
launchctl load /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.kextd.plist
# Wait about 20 seconds
mkdir /Volumes/usb
mount -t msdos -v -o ro /dev/disk1s1 /Volumes/usb
Then I copied the file to its destination, unmounted the USB stick, synced and rebooted successfully:
cp /Volumes/usb/authorization.plist /etc/authorization
umount /Volumes/usb
sync
reboot
A: I would recommend following Apple's guide regarding the gray screen at startup.
Have you installed any new firmware/drivers or software that might be the issue? Worst-case scenario is a re-install I'm afraid.
A: A verbose boot (Command-v) will tell you where the install is hanging. It'll spew a lot of text, then hang (presumably) on some line. That's where you can start to see what's going wrong. Post that line here and there may be clues.
You can try a single user boot (command-s) as well, which skips the UI and drops you to a command line, but that can be harder in terms of diagnostics.
A: I had success with this method:
Boot into single user mode by holding down commands as soon as you hear a boot chime. This works on Bluetooth keyboards too.
It should boot to a command line.
Once in single user mode do the following commands at the command line.
/sbin/fsck -fy
/sbin/mount -uw /
rm -f /Library/Preferences/com.apple.loginwindow.plist
rm -f /var/db/.AppleUpgrade
reboot
A: http://www.apple.com/support/macbookpro-videoissues/
Apple has issued a Repair Extension Program for Video Issues. I was experiencing the same problem and had tired several solutions that worked for a short period of time, but ultimately I was unable to get my MBP up and running last night and brought it into an Apple store. They determined that my issues was in fact a video issue and qualified for free service.
If you purchased a MBP between February 2011 and December 2013
and suspect that your MBP is experiencing the same issue and check out the page URL above to see if your MBP qualifies for service.
Here's an excerpt from the page
=========
Apple has determined that a small percentage of MacBook Pro systems may exhibit distorted video, no video, or unexpected system restarts. These MacBook Pro systems were sold between February 2011 and December 2013.
Apple or an Apple Authorized Service Provider will repair affected MacBook Pro systems, free of charge. See below for details on affected models and service options.
Symptoms
An affected MacBook Pro may display one or more of the following symptoms:
Distorted or scrambled video on the computer screen
No video on the computer screen (or external display) even though the computer is on
Computer restarts unexpectedly
Products affected
15-inch and 17-inch MacBook Pro models manufactured in 2011
15-inch MacBook Pro with Retina models manufactured from Mid 2012 to Early 2013
A: I had a very similar problem. I went through all the reboot procedures, but still nothing but gray screen. I finally took it to a local mac repair shop, and my FileVault is defective. They turned it off and all is well. They recommend that I leave it off otherwise the same thing can happen, and some cases it wipes out all your data...

Q: How to stream iTunes content to Chromecast Is it possible to stream my iTunes moves and TV series to my Chromecast?
I've found some solutions on Google but I'd like to avoid tricky transcoding processes.
What's the easiest solution?
A: If you have actually downloaded the file, simply drag it into the Chrome browser - it will play your file locally and you can stream it from there. I don't know of any solution built into iTunes that would allow you to stream directly to the Chromecast. I do this with iTunes U lectures all the time.

Q: Editing the master of a single slide in Keynote In keynote, I know how to edit the theme and create a new master slide. (By going into View -> Show Master Slides.) However, I would like to edit the master of a single slide.
Here is an example of why I want to do this:
Is there some way I can unlock an element of the current slide's master (i.e. that horizontal line), without editing the master itself for other slides?
A: It is the purpose of masters to make all slides look the same - you cannot ask to have masters and differently looking slides at the same time.
Copy the master, modify it and assign that one slide to the modified master.

Q: How can I add locations to iCal events? The OS X Calendar app will suggest locations as I enter text into the location field of an appointment; but in practice, it does a terrible (technically, an astonishingly terrible) job of suggesting things, proposing locations that are continents away, or clearly obscure, wile missing locations that are prominent, nearby, or that I have visited before.
Is there a way, other than entering a full address, to improve the suggestions for locations provided in Calendar events? Is there a way to expand the list of suggestions or provide the search information in a format that will produce better results?

Q: How to fix blank icons for Download and Documents stacks in the Dock I'm getting blank icons for stacks (e.g. Downloads) and grids (e.g. Documents) in the Dock. Nothing seems to fix it. Have tried relaunching the Finder and even a full reboot, but nothing helps. Any ideas?
There's a question about exactly the same problem from a while back but that's no help as the OP said that upgrading to Mountain Lion fixed his problem.
I'm running Mavericks (10.9.2). Problem started recently, but I can't tie it definitely to the 10.9.2 update.
UPDATE: tried restarting the Dock and that got back 2 or 3 icons, nothing more.
Here's an example of the problem:
A: Try removing PDFs from the stack's contents. Source
If that doesn't work, try backing up and removing ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.dock.plist and relaunching the Dock (killall -HUP Dock).

Q: Ejecting all network drives via Applescript/Automator/Shell? I use the following script to attempt to eject all disks that aren't internal:
tell application "Finder"
eject (disks whose ejectable is true)
end tell
This has the advantage of skipping volumes like MobileBackups as well as several others.
Unfortunately, it doesn't eject network shares.
Is there any way to get connected network shares in applescript?
As a +1, ideally this would skip things like optical disks as well.
EDIT: Both answers so far have shared ways to eject specific network disks. This, of course, is easy and I know how to do it. What I'm specifically asking for is a way to attempt to eject every disk other than system internal disks, regardless of their name.
A: I use Automator. I inserted 'Get Specified Finder Items', and named the target disks that I wanted to 'Get'. Only those named get chosen, but network drives do work. I then pipe this to 'Eject Disk'.
That's it.

A: I use Automator. I inserted 'Get Specified Finder Items', and named the target disks that I wanted to 'Get'. Only those named get chosen, but network drives do work. I then pipe this to 'Eject Disk'.
That's it.
A: Easily done by using the -t option of the umount command. From the man page which you can read using man umount:
-t type
Is used to indicate the actions should only be taken on filesys-
tems of the specified type. More than one type may be specified
in a comma separated list. The list of filesystem types can be
prefixed with ``no'' to specify the filesystem types for which
action should not be taken. For example, the umount command:
umount -a -t nfs,hfs
So,
do shell script "/sbin/umount -a -t nfs,smbfs"
should umount all NFS and Windows/Samba shares mounted.
EDIT: You may also want to use the -f option to force the action. Read the man page for details.
EDIT2: Apologies, umount isn't behaving as advertised, at least on my Snow Leopard. So I'd do it like this remembering to change msdos to your desired filesystem type:
set mounts to {}
set mounts to paragraphs of (do shell script "mount | grep msdos | cut -d ' ' -f3")
# Umount non busy filesystems
repeat with mount in mounts
set pid to (do shell script "fuser -c " & mount)
if pid is equal to "" then
# We use diskutil since classic unix umount cmd needs sudo/password
do shell script "diskutil umount " & mount
end if
end repeat
HTH
A: Or you could just call the shell command..
do shell script "/usr/sbin/diskutil unmount /Volumes/some_network_share"
Note that this might fail if you have open files so you can add force as such
do shell script "/usr/sbin/diskutil unmount force /Volumes/some_network_share"
A: The command line utility /sbin/umount may be another solution to what you're looking for. The Mac OS keeps an alias to each of your mounted disks in a folder /Volumes. You can use this to your advantage and amount a drive listed there:
$ umount /Volumes/Video
So you might want to create a shell script that lists the contents of /Volumes and attempts to eject them all, like this one:
for var in `ls /Volumes` ; do
echo Ejecting /Volumes/$var
umount /Volumes/$var
done
It will, however, fail to eject drives that cannot be ejected, like the current startup disk.
A: This will only eject all network volumes:
$ find /Volumes -maxdepth 1 -not -user root -print0 | xargs -0 umount
A: If you want an AppleScript, I adapted the script posted at:
Shortcut to eject all external hard drives but not MobileBackups
to this, and it works great. I've placed the applet for this in my dock to use right before I unplug.
set exceptionsList to {"MobileBackups", "startup disk", "home", "net"}
tell application "Finder"
set diskList to the disks
repeat with mountedDisk in diskList
if name of mountedDisk is not in exceptionsList then
eject mountedDisk
end if
end repeat
end tell

Q: How to delete all music on my iPhone How do I delete all the music on my iPhone. I tried doing it through iTunes but it says my collection is not managed by iTunes and I don't want to erase and sync because all my apps are nicely backed up and sorted with iTunes.
I have only seen a way of deleting song by song on the phone.
A: Make sure you really want to delete all the music because they can’t be restored afterwards.
*
*Open General » Usage in Settings.
*Wait for iOS to load all the apps that take up the storage of your iPhone/iPad.
*Find and select Music from the list.
*You’ll see All Music in the list. Tap the Edit button on the top right, and choose to delete All Music.

so you´re shure that only the symlink will be deleted and not the complete home path :)
A: Simply running rm ~/steve is safe:
*
*specifying "~/steve" (not "~/steve/", with a trailing slash) means rm will work directly on the link and not follow it, as it would if you enter "~/steve/".
*even if you mistyped "~/steve/", deleting with rm will not delete a directory unless you give it a "-r" option.
A: Yes. Providing you don't delete the contents of the symlink and just the symlink, you can delete the symlink fine. Just use ⌘⌫ on the symlink from Finder.

*right-click in Safari to open the PDF in Preview;
*use Preview File menu to Move PDF file to Desktop (or anywhere more accessible than Preview's private store);
*Open iBooks and drag the PDF file into iBooks.
Not hard, but a bit cumbersome for something I want to do fairly often. I could probably set up something with Automator / AppleScript, but is there an easier way given a factory install? Am I missing something obvious?
A: Yes, there is a simpler way. Right-mouse click (or control-click) on the .pdf and Open With iBooks:

Q: What are the licensing concerns running Mac OS X guest OS on VMWare ESXi 5.5 with non-apple hardware? How do I install Mac OS X as a guest OS on VMWare ESXi 5.5 Update 1 running on non apple hardware?
We currently have a large deployment of HP server hardware running VMWare ESXi 5.5 Update 1. We have numerous Windows and Linux deployments in this environment and all works very well. Now we are in need of a virtual install of Mac OS X. We don't want to hack it in and we don't want to violate any EULA's, we just want virtual Mac OS X in our environment. Does this mean we need new hardware in the data center to support this?
A: You can't run OS X virtualized or not, on non-Apple-branded hardware per the software license agreement. You would need Apple hardware to virtualize it and be compliant with the EULA.

Q: Does installing iOS 7 disable Find My iPhone? If Find My iPhone is activated on an iPhone 4s and I install new iOS 7, will such an installation automatically switch off Find My iPhone on my phone?
A: No, Find My iPhone will remain activated. Using Update to update the device will keep your settings, including the device's Find my iPhone status.
If you put your device in recovery mode or DFU mode then once the restore has taken place the activation lock will be enabled and you will be prompted to bypass the Find My iPhone with your Apple ID.
However, if you attempt to restore the device in iTunes, you will be prompted to deactivate Find My iPhone before the restore can take place.

Q: Volume control in OS X has no effect My volume in OS X doesn't seem to be actually controlling my volume. Not that the displayed "output volume" in the Sound preference pane doesn't change as I press volume up and volume down keys. The overlay changes, but the actual volume (the little boops) pushed through the headphones and the displayed volume in the preference pane don't change.
Shortly after taking these images, I lost all sound control via the keys. It just shows a muted overlay. The only way I could change the volume is via the sound preference pane now.
After a few minutes, I spontaneously regained control of volume via the keys. This has been happening on and off for the past week. What is happening?
A: Try rebooting or relaunching the process coreaudiod. This is a glitch that often results from 3rd party programs, but occasionally coreaudiod will mess up on its own.

Q: Refresh OSX to get rid of stuck info tag Every now and then I get an info tag stuck on my screen on top of all my applications. The only thing I know that will remove it is restarting my computer. Is there an easier way to refresh OSX that would get rid it?
I'm running the latest OSX Mavericks. I tried creating a new desktop deleting the main desktop. The problem persists unto the new desktop.
The tag does go away temporarily when I slide over to the dashboard and when I show the desktop but comes right back when I return to my applications.
A: Turns out this is a common problem.
One of the following should get rid of the tooltip:
*
*Hover over another element with a tooltip in the same app that generated the stuck tooltip, as explained here
*Close the app which you think generated the tooltip
*Log out of OSX and log back in

Q: Can I use AirPlay with an Airport Express when the WAN port is not connected? Is it possible to connect to the Airport Express over WiFi with my MacBook Pro and use it as an AirPlay device when it doesn't have a connection to the internet?
I will not have access to the internet (so no router) for a while in the future, but I wonder if the AirPlay function will keep working.
If this is possible, which of the models support this behaviour?
A: As long as you can find them with AirPort Utility you will be able to use them as AirPlay device. I've used the same setup and you can wirelessly connect them and they will still function as AirPlay device (they can even make your network more powerful)
Please also check this Apple KB and question with answer on SuperUser
To make your answer complete: you can do this with both versions.
If you have no internet connected, you will still be able to let the Express function as Accesspoint. You just won't have access to the internet via it, but that's not weird as you don't have an input ;)

Q: How do I clear my Bash history in OS X? How do I clear my Bash history in Mac OS X?
I've entered a few "errors" and just want to clear them off. How do I do that?
A: To clear it, just delete the ~/.bash_history file. If you want to just remove the offending lines you can open ~/.bash_history in the editor of your choice. For me, this would be
emacs ~/.bash_history
and then going to the beginning of each bad line and pressing control ^+K.
Or your can just fill your .bash_history with empty.
Run this: (including the >)
> ~/.bash_history

history -c
I use it often, so I made an alias to hc.
A: To view your bash history enter the command:
history
You will get an index of your history.
You can clear your entire history like so:
history -c
You can clear the 45th item in your history like so:
history -d 45
(get you can see the history item numbers by executing the history command)

Q: Does using albums to combine events keep the events intact? If I use albums in iPhoto to combine events for a slideshow will the album keep each event intact and in order rather than combining pictures by date or some other hierarchy?
A: Albums don't affect the contents of an event in any way, so your events will remain exactly how you left them.

Q: Remove accepted self-signed certificate from iOS Safari I was experimenting with self-signed certificates and while viewing my website from Safari on an iPhone I first got the warning that it is an untrusted site and I could review the details of the certificate. I then tapped the "Accept" button in the top right corner and continued to browse the site. Now Safari is not asking me again when visiting my site. No matter if I clear history or go to Safari settings and choose Clear Cookies and Data and even If I restart my phone.
Obviously there is an option to completely reset all iPhone settings but that is highly inconvenient to just remove a certificate you no longer need.
Am I missing something? Is there a way to remove that particular certificate?

Q: Where does SFTPD log to? I have enabled logging in SFTPD by adding including the following in my /etc/sshd_config
subsystem sftp /usr/libexec/sftp-server -l DEBUG
But I can't find any log files. Where does sftp log on OS X v10.9.2 ?
A: On my machine, (10.9.2) changing the log level for the sftp server in sshd just makes everything spit out onto /var/system.log/ along with the rest of sshd's log output.

Q: How to remove applications on a Mac I've installed some software on my Mac, such as R language environment, .djvu file reader, etc.
How do I remove them? There's no "Control Panel -> Add/Remove programs..."
I'm using a Mac Book Pro, but I suppose it's the same on all Macs.
A: To get rid of the application, you can just drag it to the trash.
There might be a few leftover files in ~/Library/Application Support/ and ~/Library/Preferences/; there are a few ways of getting there.
*
*You can check by going to the Finder, the "Go" menu, holding down the Option key, and choosing "Library". Just drag those to the trash, too.
*Or, you can copy one of the above paths, go to Finder, the "Go" menu, then "Go to Folder" and paste the location.
Find and drag those leftovers to the trash, too.

A: I use AppCleaner to uninstall apps and their associated configuration files as well.
However you should always look to see if the application you installed comes with an uninstaller, some of the bigger apps do, and use that first.
A: Please Note: this question is basically a dup of this earlier question
I use a one liner borrowed from a user somewhere else on this site, or related sister site, or from macosxhints (I no longer remember the reference or I'd post a link), that I turned into a script (called "uninstaller") and adjusted slightly by changing the rm command to using a safer command line program installed using macports, rmtrash. The user provided bom receipt file should be in /private/var/db/receipts if the application to be removed was installed using an installer and the dev included one. The script will place all files installed into the user's Trash.
#!/bin/bash
#uninstaller /private/var/db/receipts/com.url.name.of.app.bom
#uninstall os x application installed with installer -pkg
#using (user) provided bom receipt
#place all installed files and directories in user's Trash
lsbom="/usr/bin/lsbom"
cd="/usr/bin/cd"
sudo="/usr/bin/sudo"
xargs="/usr/bin/xargs"
rmtrash="/opt/local/bin/rmtrash"
lsbom -fls "$1" | (cd /; sudo xargs rmtrash -u $USER)
exit
Installing MacPorts and rmtrash is simple enough, however, once xcode (for Mavericks 10.9 xcode_5.1.1.dmg) is installed:
curl -Ok https://distfiles.macports.org/MacPorts/MacPorts-2.2.1.tar.bz2
tar xf MacPorts-2.2.1.tar.bz2
cd MacPorts-2.2.1
./configure
make
sudo make install #not war!
cd ..
rm -rf Macports-*
sudo /opt/local/bin/port -v selfupdate
export PATH=$HOME/macports/bin:$HOME/macports/sbin:$PATH
export MANPATH=$HOME/macports/share/man:$MANPATH
sudo port -vsc install rmtrash

Q: Does the early 2014 MacBook Air use Thunderbolt 1 or Thunderbolt 2? I am considering purchasing a new MacBook Air (early 2014 edition). I'd like to drive two external monitors from the laptop.
Based on my reading the 2013 Air only supported Thunderbolt 1 and therefore DisplayPort 1.1. With the semi-model-refresh that occurred in early 2014 was the Thunderbolt controller updated to version 2 and therefore DisplayPort 1.2?
A: No, The Early 2014 MacBook Air has Thunderbolt 1 and therefore DisplayPort 1.1.

A: No, The Early 2014 MacBook Air has Thunderbolt 1 and therefore DisplayPort 1.1.
Source : Apple Support Page
A: Mid-2012 and later MacBook Airs do support two Thunderbolt displays (see this document from Apple), but if you're not using Apple displays it's a bit more complicated.
You'll need to either invest in something like this Mini DisplayPort to dual HDMI adapter, a Matrox DualHead2Go or a DisplayLink USB adapter (those do have issues with newer Macs and Mavericks though, I believe).
A: This french article says yes Thunderbolt 2 but :
*
*Apple markets it as a TB2.
*But the processor has only 6 PCIe lines :
*
*1 for the webcam
*1 for the wifi
*2 for the SSD
Leaving only 2 PCIe lines for the thunderbolt which is barely enough for the TB 1 specs (in terms of bandwidth).

A: My apologies for not being able to give you a 100% answer. But I did find a informative post about the LED strength of an iPhone 4 (should be the same for the 5 - not the 5S).
Using a combination of direct and reflection lux meter readings, and comparing the same readings to lights of known lumen output, I'd roughly estimate the iPhone 4 LED is about 5 to 10 lumens in normal continuous use.
It briefly gets significantly brighter when used as a camera flash, but it's too brief to measure with my lux meter. I'd estimate it's about 4x brighter, which is around 40 lumens, but only for about 1/4 second.

I hope this helps!

Q: How to add the current slide number plus the total slides in Keynote? I am wondering how I could achieve something like that in the current version of Keynote for OSX:
For example the current slide is 3 and the total slides are 10.
And I want to show it like (3 / 10) and so on.
I could do it manually, but is there some automation for it?
A: Keynote has no such feature (counting the total number of slides).
Semi-manual solution: Add the total number of slides as a text-box " /10"in your Master configuration. Place it next to the automatic slide number that Keynote generates.

I've just configure this feature on keynote follow the answer below, it did worked.
Answer: http://forums.macrumors.com/threads/keynote-how-to-add-pagenumber-on-the-sheet.341924/
Someone asked same question almost ten years before at macrumors. Thanks Google.
A: If you don't want to edit the master configuration, you can also add the total number of slides a text box, and simply copy and paste it on each slide. Keynote should automatically insert the pasted textbox at the correct position.

Q: Locked out of iPhone. Don't want to restore After 6 months of not going on my phone, I have forgotten my (complex (I feel like an idiot)) password. Is there any way that I could save the files on it to a computer or talk to Apple or my service provider (because I could prove the Apple ID on the phone is mine) and have the password removed? I just don't want to have to lose everything I have on it by doing a full restore. Any possibilities? I have never backed it up to iCloud or any computer so I would have to delete everything on it. It is an iPhone 5 with ios 7 or the first one after seve
A: Here are a few iPhone lockscreen bypass procedures. Though they greatly depend on exactly which firmware is on the device, otherwise, I have a feeling your S.O.L.

Q: Can I compile .NET C# code on my Mac? I need a way to cross compile a short piece of .NET C# code to a dll, which will then run a client's Windows environment.
I run OS X 10.9.2 on an iMac.
Does anyone know what tools allow this?
I would rather not install Parallels and Windows if I can find a way to cross compile this without needing that heavy of an installation of Microsoft tools.
A: If you have a Mac you can compile C# like this:
Compile: mcs fileName.cs
Run: mono fileName.exe
If you don't have Mono installed on your Mac, you can google it and install it and then you will be good to go. You don't need Windows to do this.

A: Check out the Mono Project. It may be what you are looking for.
http://www.mono-project.com/Mono:OSX
MonoDevelop is a cross-platform IDE primarily designed for C# and other .NET languages. MonoDevelop enables developers to quickly write desktop and ASP.NET Web applications on Linux, Windows and Mac OSX. MonoDevelop makes it easy for developers to port .NET applications created with Visual Studio to Linux and Mac OSX maintaining a single code base for all platforms.
A: No personal experience with this IDE but this looks like it will work:
http://monodevelop.com
A: You may now want to look into the following
Xamarin
https://www.xamarin.com/
Visual Studio for Mac
https://www.visualstudio.com/vs/visual-studio-mac/
A:
Can I compile .NET C# code on my Mac?
You can compile C# code yes.
I would rather not install Parallels and Windows if I can find a way
to cross compile this without needing that heavy of an installation of
Microsoft tools.
Mono does not have 100% compatibility with the .NET implementation.
The Common Language Infrastructure (CLI) is a framework for executing managed code. The CLI consists of several parts including a Virtual Execution System (VES). .NET's VES is the Common language Runtime. Mono has it's own separate VES implementation.
In other words, at the very least do not expect to run code that has only been tested in a *nix/OSX environment to run without testing it on a windows environment.
A: You can install it with homebrew:
brew install mono
Then you can use it with:
mcs hello.cs
mono hello.exe

Q: How do I clear cookies from the Twitter app internal browser on iPhone? Just to clarify, I've tried cleaning the Safari cookies with no success.
A: I don't believe there is anything you can do sans uninstalling and reinstalling the Twitter app. Each application that uses the WebView has its own cookie store.
A developer can programmatically remove cookies. So the Twitter app would need to give you a way to clear cookies which I don't think it does.

A developer can programmatically remove cookies. So the Twitter app would need to give you a way to clear cookies which I don't think it does.
A: In the Twitter app, open Settings and privacy. As of August 2017 and version 7.4, it is accessed by tapping your profile picture in the top-left corner.
Now go into Data usage → Web storage and select Clear all web storage. This will delete your Twitter cache, cookies and logins.
That action does not affect pictures, videos and vines attached to Tweets. Instead those are deleted under Data usage → Web storage → Clear media storage.
A: Go to advanced settings under safari.

Q: HDMI on MacBook Pro stopped working The HDMI port on my MacBook Pro doesn't seem to be functioning normally.
When I plug it into the TV, the screen temporarily turns black as if it is connecting to the TV, the mirror connection even comes up and I can see the other display (My Tv) and change the settings.
However, on my TV it shows a No Signal message. What is the reason for this? When I hook my Xbox 360 up via the same port, it works flawlessly on the TV. This leads me to believe the is a problem with my laptop. It was just working a couple of days ago, and detects the external device just fine. What is the reason for the No Signal/black screen issue?
A: *
*could be a hdmi cable issue
*maybe restart your computer. in OSX 10.9 Mavericks has some issue with dual monitoring, restart without the video cable plugged in . once its fully started, try plugging in the video cable again.

A: Based on your repair attempts
It is not
..the HDMI cable
..the TV
...the TV input source selector
It starts the connection to the TV but then it shows "no signal"
all this leads to the display settings on your Mac.
Somehow or something has changed those settings, so while connected look the display settings for the TV.
Also make sure your Mac correctly identifies the TV model (Sharp, Samsung ect.) in About this Mac for example.
Additionally there is a little app on your Mac Utility folder called ColorSync Utility, use it to verify and repair the settings.
Here is a screen shot (without TV connected)

Q: How do I delete Java application preferences? I am running Jabref v2.10 on Mac OS X 10.9.2. After changing some parts of the configuration file manually, I seem to have broken the preferences and now it fails to start. The application stores the application preferences using the java.util.prefs library. Is there a way I can delete java's stored preferences in Mac? (E.g., in linux, I would just delete the ~/.java folder)
A: From Apple Developer Connection:
The preferences files generated by the Preferences API are named com.apple.java.util.prefs. The user’s preferences file is stored in their home directory (~/Library/Preferences/). The system preferences are stored in /Library/Preferences/ and are only persisted to disk if the user is an administrator.
I do not know if you can simply delete them though.

A: This problem hit me recently so I thought I'd post the answer here belatedly.
When you delete the preferences on a Mac (plist file) make sure you clear the cached preferences otherwise Java programs can keep working with the cached settings.
You can:
*
*Delete the plist file
*killall -u <your-user-name> cfprefsd
OR
*reboot
Items 2. and 3. will cause the cache to be cleared and then your preferences will be reloaded as cfprefsd restarts automatically.
I hope that helps.

Q: Make F8 work as F8 on MacBook Pro I would like to make F8 key on my MacBook Pro to work as an F8 key, not Play/Pause key, without having to press fn key at the same button.
How do I configure Mac OS X (Mavericks) to work that way?
A: This function can be set up by going to System Preferences → Keyboard → Keyboard and enabling Use all F1, F2, etc. keys as standard function keys.

How do I configure Mac OS X (Mavericks) to work that way?
A: This function can be set up by going to System Preferences → Keyboard → Keyboard and enabling Use all F1, F2, etc. keys as standard function keys.
A: You can use FunctionFlip which can 'flip' certain function keys instead of changing all keys.
FunctionFlip individually controls your MacBook or MacBook Pro's function keys, turning special keys back to regular F-keys, or vice-versa.
FunctionFlip's purpose is simply to disable the special features — rewind, play, mute, etc. — on the function keys. For example, if you "flip" F7, F8, and F9, those keys — only those keys — will revert back to normal F keys. Press the fn key with the special key to get the special function back. That is, the "special" and "normal" functions are flipped.
You can also use KeyRemap4MacBook with a private.xml such as this:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<root>
<item>
<name>F8 as Function</name>
<identifier>F8asFunction</identifier>
<autogen>__KeyToKey__ KeyCode::VK_CONSUMERKEY_MUSIC_PLAY, KeyCode::F8</autogen>
<autogen>__KeyToKey__ KeyCode::F4, KeyCode::VK_CONSUMERKEY_MUSIC_PLAY</autogen>
</item>
</root>

Q: OS X Mavericks doesn't recognize my Nexus 5 when plugged in via USB When I plug in my Nexus 5 into my Mid 2013 MacBook Air 11" nothing happens. It doesn't show up in the finder / on the desktop and when I enable USB tethering, it doesn't show up in my network preferences.
But when I connect the USB cable with Nexus 5 while parallels with Windows 8.1 is running and choose to use the connected device in Windows 8.1 - everything works as expected.
So the problem isn't anywhere in the hardware, nor in my Nexus 5, but somewhere in the OS X.
Any ideas how to find more info, fix it?
Update:
In the System Report generated by About This Mac, I can see my device connected via USB.
A: Not sure if you ever solved this as its 30 days old, but in OS X you need The Android File Transfer App running in the background in order to mount your Android shares. Hope this helps.

Q: Preventing desktop jump when window is open on another desktop? I have setup 2 Desktops in Mavericks (Mission Control).
*
*On "Desktop 2" there are some programs that need to run, but which I use rarely, for example a Terminal with some server tasks.
*Then on "Desktop 1" I want to run more Terminal instances, but when I click the icon in the dock, it jumps to the Terminal instance on the second desktop.
I tried disabling this setting, but then clicking the app icon does nothing (second click jumps to desktop 2):
*
*System Preferences > Mission Control > When switching to an application, switch to a space with open windows for the application
Any ideas or tools to solve this problem? Basically I want Mavericks to treat every Desktop separately.
A: At least on El Capitan, it is (apparently) necessary to restart the Dock after setting the value of workspaces-auto-swoosh
On the command line:
defaults write com.apple.dock workspaces-auto-swoosh -boolean NO
killall Dock

A: It seems that what you are doing does not work the first time, but after 2 tries, it does. So do this to the 'When switching to an application, switch to a space with open windows for the application':
*
*Turn it OFF in System Preferences → Mission Control
*Turn it ON
*Turn it OFF again.
You could also try typing this in Terminal:
defaults write com.apple.dock workspaces-auto-swoosh -boolean NO
...but that is said to only work in OSX Leopard on the website above but 'jgl777' over here said that it worked on his 10.8.3 Mountain Lion, so it's possible it could work on Mavericks. I would advise backing up if you do this, but you should be doing that even if you don't want to use this method!
Another option is to Ctrl + Click the application's icon in the dock and then click open in new window, this will open it in the current Desktop and a new window of the app.

Q: Switching to an open application via BetterTouchTool (making it active) Is it possible to switch TO an open application via keyboard shortcut in BetterTouchTool?
Currently I’m using a predefined action “Open Application” instead but it’s not quite the same as I don’t want to switch to the app. if it hasn’t been opened yet.
A: A free solution: Use BetterTouchTool to trigger an applescript similar to the following, which will activate Safari if it's running, and do nothing if it's not:
if application "Safari" is running then
tell application "Safari" to activate
end if
A not free solution: Tie a BetterTouchTool trigger to a Keyboard Maestro macro, which will give you plenty of control over when the application gets activated. The following example would have the same effect as the above AppleScript:
There are many ways to tie BTT to KM, but the easiest is having BTT trigger the hotkey used by KM (in this case, CTL-OPT-SHIFT-CMD-S).
Obviously, both solutions would work for any application, not just Safari.

Q: How do I change the color of my Dock on Mac I am digging deep into my Mac's files to try and find how to change the color of my mac's dock. I have been able to change little things like the separator, indicator light, trash can, finder icon, etc. But I cannot find the file where the color of the actual Dock is.
I used this code to immediately go to the Dock folder
/System/Library/CoreServices/Dock.app/Contents/Resources
If you want a picture please ask and I'll edit a good one so you get the idea.
A: As far as I know, there's no image that you can change to change the background of the Dock. However, you can give the image to DockMod which will let you change the background.

Q: Didn't Apple use to provide USB stick with OS X on it? I'm quite new to the Apple Mac world, and I've been told that some of the older macs used to include a USB stick to boot the OSX Mountain Lion.
I have a Macbook Pro with Mavericks, and there was no USB stick included. Did they discontinue this?
A: Yes, The USB recovery drive shipped first with a MacBook Air and Lion was also sold as a full retail OS on USB write only format instead of the retail DVD/CD that used to be available for purchase.
Apple discontinued this practice a few years ago and has started distributing OS X via the App Store exclusively as a digital download. You can make a bootable version of the installer from the App Store version if you have a USB stick handy.
There's a free, AppleScript-based program called DiskMaker X that will help you build a bootable USB stick for Mavericks. You'll have to download the installer from the App Store first. Just cancel the installation after the download and Mavericks will remain in your Applications folder for DiskMaker X to find and use.

Just cancel the installation after the download and Mavericks will remain in your Applications folder for DiskMaker X to find and use.
A: Apple did discontinue the practice of including install media (USB or CD) with a new Mac.
This has happened because a recovery partition and internet recovery have made it unnecessary.
A recovery partition should exist on the drive which can booted from by holding down Command+R when booting.
Additionally, Apple has also introduced Internet Recovery allows the computer to be booted from the internet even if no operating system or recovery partition exists on the drive (e.g., after the drive has been completely replaced). There are only a limited number of Macs and limited network configurations that Internet Recovery supports.
Details are here: About OS X Recovery
A: Having just done this for my employees, I'll add to Ian C's great answer:
- be sure to first check your Application's folder for any existing Maverick installer. There's probably not one, but if there is, delete it. Otherwise, the App Store will see that it's already there, and not download whatever latest version is on the App Store (no idea why it doesn't recognize that it's an earlier version). No biggie if you create a bootable USB stick from, say, 10.9.1 instead of 10.9.2, but this "delete first!" method will save you the time from having to do an upgrade after the installation.

Q: Putting iPhone passcode into Xcode, so I wouldn't need to unlock my iPhone for every build? Is there a way that I could put my iPhone lock code into Xcode, so I wouldn't need to unlock my iPhone for every build?
It gets really frustrating that I need to physically unlock my iPhone before every build.
I know for developing on android they allow you to put the device in dev mode, which restricts the device from sleeping.
A: Could everyone please report this as a bug?
As it stands, you either put up with it, or much worse, turn off locking. Neither option is good.
If the iOS device is in developer mode, and connected to an active Xcode instance, Xcode should be able to keep the phone unlocked.
That way you not only can leave locking on, but it will re-lock the instant you disconnect.

If the iOS device is in developer mode, and connected to an active Xcode instance, Xcode should be able to keep the phone unlocked.
That way you not only can leave locking on, but it will re-lock the instant you disconnect.
A: You can prevent the device from sleeping in Settings → General → Auto-Lock → Never. This means the device will stay unlocked and you won't need to unlock it. As I'm jailbroken, I have this set automatically when my device is connected to a computer with Xcode running, but changing this setting manually will also work fine.
Alternatively, you can set Settings → Passcode → Require Passcode to a longer interval so that your passcode isn't required if you need to unlock it. Don't forget to reset this setting back to its original setting after you finish developing.
A: This is a workaround trick.
In AppDelegate.swift add this code
class AppDelegate: UIApplicationDelegate {
let isDebug: Bool = {
var isDebug = false
func setDebug() -> Bool {
isDebug = true
return true
}
assert(setDebug())
return isDebug
}()
func application(_ application: UIApplication, didFinishLaunchingWithOptions launchOptions: [UIApplicationLaunchOptionsKey: Any]?) -> Bool {
// for development only
// to make iPhone screen always on when developing app.
// should be removed when app is released
if isDebug {
print("DEBUG MODE")
UIApplication.shared.isIdleTimerDisabled = true
}
return true
}
}
A: As far as I know this is not possible. The only possible solution, obviously, would be to disable the iPhone's passcode during your programming sessions.
A: The real answer is you currently need to jailbreak to do this as @grgarside alluded to.
Use Activator (install from Cydia if you don't already have it), and set the action for Anywhere -> Connected (Power) to the action that disables the Auto-Lock. Do the opposite (enable Auto-Lock) for Disconnected (Power).
A: In Xcode 7.3 it seems that you only have to unlock your device on the first build. After that, your device stays unlocked until you unplug it or exit the app you're testing.

Q: Raw binary midi stream in terminal? I want to be able to cat the device file of a raw binary input stream from a midi controller. In Ubuntu, the process to do this was something like cat /dev/dmmidi1. However, I do not see such a file in OS X. There are, however, many more tty files than in ubuntu.
Is there a device file that I can cat, or do I have to get the raw midi stream from something else? How do I get the raw binary stream?

Q: Early 2013 Macbook Pro with 4K From what I'm reading online it sounds like 4K displays like Seiki displays will work correctly with a late 2013 MBP or later. I have an early 2013 MBP and am not finding much of any evidence that a 4K display will work with this model. Will a 4K display work at 3840x2160 with at least 30 Hz on a early 2013 MBP? Does anyone have this or a similar setup that could provide feedback or any issues that have? I'm interested in an external display with a high resolution and 4K seems like the best option.
A: Yes, it is possible to drive a 4k Display with an early 2013 and even 2012 Retina Macbook.
1. Download SwitchResX
here
2. Create a new custom profile for your monitor
Simplified Settings: CVT-RB
Active: 3840x2160
Scan Rate vertical: 30
Hit ok and press cmd-S to save.
3. Reboot and select custom profile

A: I have early 2013 15" retina mbp and I can drive seiki 39 4K TV via HDMI (using supplied cable) just fine.
A: Its possible with SwitchResX and this stuff. Mini DisplayPort 1.2 to HDMI 2.0a Active Adapter 4K@60Hz
I have a MBP, early 2013, and it's working with 60Hz + 4k.
There are many adapters out there, but be sure is 4k + 60hz active, otherwise will not work.
A: I have been using 4K monitors with an Early 2013 Retina Macbook Pro since August 2014, and have an issue which is consistent across both 4k Monitors - the screen will go blank for a few seconds sporadically. It doesn't happen often enough for it to be a big issue, but it can be annoying. Most of the time i run at 2560 x 1440, but i can go up to 3840 x 2160, both at 30HZ. Both of these require a good quality HDMI cable v1.3.
The monitors i have used are Samsung U28D590D and Asus PB287Q. The Asus gives a richer picture, but the Samsung is brighter.
A: On my early 2013 15" rMBP and LG 27UD88-W 27" 4K UHD Monitor, and SwitchResX, I tried mDP to DP, HDMI to HDMI, all 4K compatible cables, and finally active mDP to HDMI 4k 60Hz cable. I could not get 60 Hz on any cable at 4K.
(DP = DisplayPort. mDP = mini DisplayPort. rMBP = retina macbook pro)
This LG monitor has DisplayPort 1.2 and HDMI 2.
has DisplayPort 1.1a and HDMI 1.4.
This was the last cable I tried:
https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1616926-REG/ezquest_x40085_active_mini_displayport_to.html
The cable I'm sticking with is the Startech mDP to DP, and the HDMI cable I tried was a 4K Belkin HDMI cable from the apple store.
SwitchResX did help me get more resolution options than the standard display settings would. I am now using 2304 x 1296, HiDPI, at 30Hz. I think I've tried everything.
I think it's because the early 2013 rMBP is limited to DP 1.1a, according to Dell. Also according to Dell, late 2013 rMBP has DP 1.2, which should be able to do 4K 60Hz
https://www.dell.com/support/kbdoc/en-us/000128111/4k-5k-high-resolution-display-support-by-mac-systems
And according to Wikipedia, DP 1.1a is limited to HBR, which is limited to 30 Hz at 4K / 3840 × 2160.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DisplayPort
I'm not sure how the other commenters are getting 4K 60Hz, but I think I've tried everything, and the results I've got are in line w/ the specs I could find. I knew nothing about any of this 2 weeks ago, and this was what I found trying to figure it out.
A: No. According to this Apple Support article, 4K Display is not supported. The highest resolution your machine can support on an external monitor is 2560x1600.

Q: Create a new (.txt) File in Finder - Keyboard Shortcut I wanted to know if there is way to set keyboard shortcuts to make new files in Finder. For example, by default, you can create a new folder using CMD+Shift+N. Is there a keyboard shortcut to create a new text file? I'm a programmer so this would be extremely useful
I would also be interested in creating other file type using keyboard shortcuts.
I have attempted to use automator but I'm finding it quite confusing and I'm not sure how I would connect a keyboard shortcut to it.
A: You could also assign a shortcut to a script like this:
tell application "Finder"
set selection to make new file at (get insertion location)
end tell
The insertion location is either the target of the frontmost Finder window or the desktop.

tell application "Finder"
set selection to make new file at (get insertion location)
end tell
The insertion location is either the target of the frontmost Finder window or the desktop.
A: Well, here you go with an AppleScript for that.
First, create the AppleScript:
*
*Open Automator
*Create a Quick Action
*Set the input to no input
*Drag and Drop the Run AppleScript workflow element onto the grey space.
*Paste the code from below into the AppleScript
*Save the workflow as Create new file
If you have iCloud Drive activated, make sure you are saving the file under Library/Services/ in your Home Folder.
try
tell application "Finder" to set the this_folder ¬
to (folder of the front window) as alias
on error -- no open folder windows
set the this_folder to path to desktop folder as alias
end try
set thefilename to text returned of (display dialog ¬
"Create file named:" default answer "filename.txt")
set thefullpath to POSIX path of this_folder & thefilename
do shell script "touch \"" & thefullpath & "\""
To add it as a shortcut:
*
*Go to System Preferences -> Keyboard -> Shortcuts -> Services
*Scroll down until you find the Service Create new file
*Assign a shortcut to it by clicking on the right side none, which turns into a Add Shortcut.
Click the Button and type the shortcut you wish to use.
I use ⌘ Command+⌥ Option+N
A: You can create an Automator Service yourself — it is rather simple to do. Then you can assign a keyboard shortcut to it so that you don't need to activate the service through the services menu (which you can do anyway).
Open Automator and select Service as the type of new document.
Set the service to receive no input in Finder.app and add the New TextEdit Document action to the workflow.
Save the service, then open System Preferences → Keyboard → Shortcuts → Services where you will find the service listed under General with the name that you gave for the service when you saved it.
Add a keyboard shortcut to the service by selecting the service then clicking 'add shortcut'.
Here you might have some problems if the shortcut is used already. So get creative to make one that works for you.
A: open terminal and type
touch filename
or
> filename
A: I've created an AppleScript very similar to the @YoshiBotX's one, but with some improvements.
The idea is to create an Automator workflow and assigning a shortcut to it using the following steps:
*
*Open Automator and create a Service;
*Set the input to no input, and the application to Finder.app;
*Drag and Drop the Run AppleScript workflow element onto the grey space;
*Put the contents of this AppleScript in the textbox;
*Save the workflow with a reasonable name (like New File);
*Go to Settings -> Keyboard -> Shortcuts -> Services and assign a shortcut to it.
Now, let's show the AppleScript:
set file_name to "untitled"
set file_ext to ".txt"
set is_desktop to false
-- get folder path and if we are in desktop (no folder opened)
try
tell application "Finder"
set this_folder to (folder of the front Finder window) as alias
end tell
on error
-- no open folder windows
set this_folder to path to desktop folder as alias
set is_desktop to true
end try
-- get the new file name (do not override an already existing file)
tell application "System Events"
set file_list to get the name of every disk item of this_folder
end tell
set new_file to file_name & file_ext
set x to 1
repeat
if new_file is in file_list then
set new_file to file_name & " " & x & file_ext
set x to x + 1
else
exit repeat
end if
end repeat
-- create and select the new file
tell application "Finder"
activate
set the_file to make new file at folder this_folder with properties {name:new_file}
if is_desktop is false then
reveal the_file
else
select window of desktop
set selection to the_file
delay 0.1
end if
end tell
-- press enter (rename)
tell application "System Events"
tell process "Finder"
keystroke return
end tell
end tell
For convenience, I'm putting this AppleScript in this GitHub Gist.
A: In the new macOS Shortcuts, you can use the "Run AppleScript" and below code. In case there already was a file with the same name then Shortcuts will show you a clear run error message that is legible to an end user.
on run {input, parameters}
tell application "Finder"
set selection to make new file at (get insertion location) with properties {name:"README.txt"}
end tell
return input
end run
A: This is a repost of a post that I made last year. I have had good experience with the following.
There are two useful utilities that you can download and install that will enable you to create a new text file (or RTF file) in a currently-open folder that you are viewing using the Finder.
The utilities are called NewTextFileHere and NewRTFHere and can be downloaded from
http://mac.softpedia.com/developer/Jonas-Wisser-37498.html
Icons for either of these apps can then be included on all of your Finder windows.
A: Just what I'd been looking for, Richard Fuhr. Thanks for this.
One note: that URL's link for the NewTextFileHere seems to load to an empty page. But I did a search and found the app here:
http://mac.softpedia.com/progDownload/NewTextFileHere-Download-70374.html
A: An alternative, if you already have BetterTouchTools (it used to be a free app, now it has a pay-what-you-want model with a 30 day trial period), you can find the action on "Utility Actions > Create New File in Current Folder" which does exactly this, with a pop-up to let you pick the name. Assign the shortcut you want (I picked Option+Shift+N) and you're good to go.
A: In case you are using MacVim there is an option under Finder -> Services to create a new vim buffer:
I have mapped this to the short cut ShiftcmdM in System Preferences -> Keyboard -> Shortcuts:

Q: Open Sans Chrome and Safari Render bug The "Open Sans" font for some reason just started looking terrible on both Chrome and Safari (on Mavericks 10.9.2), becoming some super thin and light font. Does anyone know what's up? I tried resetting my font cache, but it didn't work!
See the images below, (1) On Todoist.com (which uses Open Sans), and (2) On Google Docs, where my body text uses the Open Sans font. You can see in the 2nd image, the word "Rhapsody in Red" in the body is Open Sans Italics, which looks vastly different from the regular Open Sans. The problem does not affect the Italics version, only the regular version.
A: Try restoring the system fonts using the Font Book.app
Open and click Restore Standard fonts.

Q: How to customize the Do Not Disturb feature for weekends? I have the Do Not Disturb feature scheduled to work from Midnight to 7 am. This works great.
However, on the weekend I like to sleep in and would like the Do Not Disturb feature to go until 9 am. But I do not see this feature. It's like all or nothing.
Am I missing something simple?
A: This currently can't be done. Schedules you select apply to all the days of the week.

Q: Accessing OS X built in dictionary lookup in Firefox I am really frustrated that Firefox does not provide the three-finger-tap lookup operation is in built in OS X. What is baffling me is that it supports other gestures such as two finger swipes and taps. So why not the 3 finger tap dictionary ?
Is this possible to actually implement ? Or is it because access to in built dictionary and trackpad is blocked by OS ? How can I start looking at this problem ?
A: Unfortunately looks like this is still an open bug as of today.

A: Unfortunately looks like this is still an open bug as of today.
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=687026
A: Firefox bug #687026 regarding 10.7 - 10.10 was fixed Jan 2016.
Firefox bug #1212527 regarding 10.11 was fixed in May 2016. Firefox 49+ has the fix.
Working as expected on 10.11 and 10.12.
A: As of now (Dec 1 2014), although the option is not present in right-click menu, three-finger dictionary lookup works perfectly fine in my Firefox (Developer Edition 35)
Also there have been certain plugins which help you look up words in dictionary through right click. For example https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/look-up-in-dictionary-7261/
EDIT (Oct 2017): I'm now using the new e10s Firefox and the dictionary lookup still works. You don't need any plugin, just tap with three fingers or press Control + Cmd + D.
A: One can open the MacOS dictionary by typing dict://word-in-question in the address bar.
This extension: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/macos-dictionary-lookup/ adds a menu item to do it. In order for it to work, you need to do the above process manually, and allow Firefox to open the dictionary app.

Q: How to mount raw disk images? I'd like to mount a raw dump of a disk, e. g. like those created by dd? Is there something like a loop device in OS X?
A: The hdiutil command given above is correct, however, newer Mac SSDs have a 4096 byte block size and hdiutil defaults to 512 for disk images so if you attempt to mount a 4096 byte block size image it will look like nonsense to the system.
Adding -blocksize 4096 to the command will let you work with an image created from a newer Mac:
hdiutil attach -blocksize 4096 -noverify -nomount diskimage.img

then mount it as you like.

A: This is funny because it's actually really really simple. Rename it to a .dmg extension, as a DMG is a raw image too.
In contrast to the above solution, this will work on dd rips of entire drives in addition to partitions.
A: You can create a disk image of the disk using Disk Utility. Select the disk or the disk's partition in the list on the left, then File → New → Disk Image from <disk1>.
Once the image is created, you can mount it like any other volume and if you selected read/write you can read/write to the image like a mounted volume. The image is mounted in the same place as the original disk would be: /Volumes/diskname.

Q: Automating ffmpeg using Automator Service I often use ffmpeg off the command line to convert video files into mp4 on my Mac (running Mavericks). Do note, however, that I am NOT re-encoding my videos; am just changing the container from an avi or an mkv to an mp4. The exact command I run on Terminal is as follows:
/Users/Amit/Documents/Scripts/ffmpeg -i /input.mkv -c:v copy -c:a copy /output.mp4
As can be seen, this involves a lot of typing (for example, the entire path for ffmpeg and the source and target videos) and since I do a lot of such conversions, it would be great to have some Automator help here.
So, how can one go about creating a Finder Service that automates this activity? I would prefer a Finder Service instead of a standalone app or menu item.
A: You could also add a function like this to a shell configuration file like ~/.bash_profile:
mp4() {
for f; do
ffmpeg -i "$f" -c copy "${f%.*}.mp4"
done
}
Then you can just run mp4 input.mkv.
You can replace /Users/Amit/Documents/Scripts/ffmpeg with just ffmpeg if you move ffmpeg somewhere like /usr/bin or if you add PATH=~/Documents/Scripts:$PATH to ~/.bash_profile.

You can use Automator to create a new service or droplet:
*
*Launch Automator.app
*Create a new service with service receives files or folders in any application
*Add a Run Shell Script action
*Set Pass input: to as arguments
*Within the script, replace echo with the script below.
*Save your workflow as a service.
Shell Script
for f in "$@"
do
/Users/Amit/Documents/Scripts/ffmpeg -i "$f" -c:v copy -c:a copy "${f%.*}.mp4"
done

Q: Wrong volume name for sshfs volume in Finder even with volname option I am using sshfs @2.5 and osxfuse @2.6.4 installed via MacPorts 2.2.1 on my MacBook Pro Retina Late 2013 which is running OS X Mavericks 10.9.2. When issuing the following command:
sshfs -ovolname=Z user@host:/somewhere/on/the/Y /Z
The mounting is done correctly. Using the terminal, everything works as expected. However, finder displays the volume name as Y, as if the presence of the volname= option didn't matter. Has anyone else encountered this?
A: The options go at the end of the command, so in your case:
sshfs user@host:/somewhere/on/the/Y /Z -o volname=Z
I just had a similar problem and this fixes it for me!

A: You need a space between the -o and the volname:
sshfs -o volname=Z user@host:/somewhere/on/the/Y /Z
^
A: Struggling with this issue myself, I discovered that I needed to add the -o local option:
sshfs user@host:/somewhere/on/the/Y /Z -o volname=Z -o local
Beware that the OSXFUSE maintainers advise against this option, though, as it might invoke unwanted side-effects:
This option marks the volume being mounted as "local". By default, osxfuse volumes are marked as "nonlocal", which technically isn't necessarily the same as a "server" or "network" volume, but is treated as such by the Finder in some cases. For example, the Finder may not show "connected servers" on the Desktop or in the sidebar in some cases. If you use this option, you can get around this "limitation". However, wait! Don't be too tempted and think local is a magic pill that will solve all your problems. In fact, it may mess things up more than you realize. The operating system can be more aggressive in dealing with "local" volumes (a .Trashes. directory will be created, for one). You could run into mysterious problems with Disk Arbitration and other system components. I don't know (and possibly can't know--Mac OS X isn't all open source!) the side effects of using this option. Therefore, treat this as experimental and use with caution. Moreover, please do not file bug reports that involve this option--reproduce your issue without this option and then file a bug report.

Q: How to replace hard drive without reinstalling the whole system? I recently purchased a 1TB solid state hard drive Samsung Electronics 840 EVO-Series 1TB 2.5-Inch SATA III Single Unit Version Internal Solid State Drive MZ-7TE1T0BW.
I hope I won't need to manually reinstall the OS X and all the applications and copying back hundreds of GBs of personal data.
How do I replace hard drive without reinstalling the whole system?
A: Have you considered cloning your current hard drive? With a utility like Carbon Copy Cloner (which you can use for free for 30 days, I think), and an external interface for your new hard drive (USB, Firewire, etc.), you can clone--i.e. make a bit-for-bit copy of your operating system and installed programs--the drive that's currently in your computer. Then, when you install the new hard drive, the computer should see it as the boot disk and everything should pick up exactly where you left off--just with a lot more storage.

Then, when you install the new hard drive, the computer should see it as the boot disk and everything should pick up exactly where you left off--just with a lot more storage.
A: The simplest method to install things is as follows:
*
*Connect the new drive to a USB to SATA adapter
*Partition and format the "external" drive using Disk Utility
*Download the OS X installer you want and install the OS on to the "external"
*When you boot to the external, let migration assistant copy everything to the "external"
Test that the "external" works properly, then and only then, make a final backup of the internal drive and swap the hardware.
The benefit of this method is not only that you keep your system unbroken while you test the OS and migration, you can know if you have a working drive and OS without needing to do any "wrench work".
You could use Disk Utility to simply clone the existing drive onto the SSD, but I prefer a clean install to let the OS place the OS files in the proper place and who knows what errors have crept into the existing system over time. Migration is really solid (it wasn't as robust 5 years or more back, and people rightly wanted to clone a working system more regularly then.) You could also use SuperDuper or Carbon Copy Cloner to do the duplication, but again - I really prefer a piecemeal, reinstall as it works best for me time and time again.
A: This can be done with Time Machine. NOTE this will not make an exact bit-for-bit copy of your current harddrive, but will copy over all users' files, settings, applications, etc. (including /usr/local), as well as the operating system files themselves.
*
*Time Machine does not backup cache directories, files that have been moved to the trash, etc. I have also found it does not backup the saved state of open applications nor Office product keys.
These steps are broadly from: https://www.imore.com/how-back-up-mac-time-machine.
*
*Connect your backup harddrive and make a current Time Machine backup by going to System Preferences -> Time Machine -> 'Show Time Machine in menu bar'. Then go to the menu bar icon and select 'Back Up Now'.
*
*You should be backing up already (right?!?), so this should not take long.
*If you have not made a backup already, enable Time Machine and then start the backup.
*Once the back up is complete, swap out your internal harddrive for the new one (following all safety instructions).
*Power on your computer and hold the Command and R keys to enter the recovery partition (this may take a few minutes).
*Select 'Disk Utilities' and ensure that the volume on your new harddrive is formatted as Mac OS Extended (Journaled).
*
*If it is not, reformat it. This will delete all files on the new harddrive, but there should be nothing on your new harddrive so this should not be a probelm.
*Now quit 'Disk Utilities' to go back to the list of utilities.
*Select 'Restore from Time Machine Backup' from the Mac OS Utilities and click Continue.
*Select your Time Machine back-up source and click Continue.
*Select your latest back up and click Continue.
*Select your new hard drive as the Destination.
*This will restore over all backed up files to your new harddrive.

Q: packages installed with Homebrew not found after restore I got a new Macbook Pro and restored from the backup, all of my packages are in still there and the path is still correct, but when I type a command that was installed on the previous system it returns an error. Take for example pstree
pstree
-bash: pstree: command not found
Someone elsewhere on the internet suggested reinstalling them, but I have way too many packages installed to go thru them one at a time.
The computer is running Mavericks. I used migration assistant to restore from a time machine backup and brew doctor says my system is ready to brew.
A: From your answer above, it looks like you want to relink all your kegs, which is already answered here:

A: It is documented that Homebrew fails after TimeMachine recovery a on a new Mac or making a Migration as Homebrew builds binaries for your specific machine:
https://github.com/Homebrew/brew/issues/583
The official solution is to uninstall and reinstall homebrew. Don´t cry it's very easy with this line that remove and restore again all your 'formulae'
brew bundle dump && brew uninstall --force $(brew list); brew bundle
A: I actually found a simple, and somewhat inelegant solution: I concatenated brew list into a file calledbrewback.txt then I wrote and executed the following script
#! /bin/sh
cat brewback.txt | xargs -L1 brew unlink ;
cat brewback.txt | xargs -L1 brew link
echo "Done" exit
I wanted to do both arguments in the same step, as in unlink then link the first program; unlink then link the second, etc. and if someone can describe how in a comment that would be greatly appreciated, then I will mark this problem as solved.

Q: How can I get the list of allowed users for Remote Management via Terminal? I want to use a command line tool to get the list of allowed users for Remote Management (ARD). I was able to enable ARD using kickstart, but I'm having trouble finding how you get the information, not set it.
Is there a com.apple.Sharing or com.apple.ARD somewhere that I'm missing?
defaults /Library/Preferences/com.apple.ARDAgent
doesn't seem to give me the info I need.
Ok, did find
defaults /Library/Preferences/com.apple.RemoteManagement
but that only gave me whether all local users are allowed for ARD. That is useful, but I want a little bit more. Do I need to use dscl perhaps to find ARD groups?
A: I had a bit of a look at my Server and desktop Mac and it would seem that the permissions are stored in the local Open Directory database. The command dscl . -list /Users dsAttrTypeNative:naprivs when run by an admin will give you a list of users who have any privileges set for remote management.

A: @k3vmo in Tony's post.
Reading naprivs as shown in the command suggested by Tony (dscl . -list /Users dsAttrTypeNative:naprivs) does work on Sierra.
The Sharing preference "Remote Login" is different from the "Remote Management" setting, which is what the naprivs attribute reports on.
If you are interested in listing users with "Remote Login" access (i.e. users with SSH access), use the command:
sudo dscl . -read /Groups/com.apple.access_ssh/ | grep GroupMembership | cut -d: -f2
Remote Login = ssh access
Remote Management = screensharing/VNC access

Q: VPN with two mac users I have two users accounts on my computer, one needs to stay connected to a VPN while the other account, both being logged in, is not supposed to use the VPN. OS X 10.9 seems to only give me global VPN access or none. Does anyone know a solution?
A: I have a very dirty work around. So I hope someone will come up with a better solution.
What I did is setup a Virtual Box virtual machine with some minimalistic Linux that can do VPN. Once the virtual machine is connected the user can use the VPN inside the machine (but other users not). Since I needed to use some apps in the host system I finally set up a proxy in the virtual machine that would forward my VPN users data.
As I said dirty...
UPDATE 2022:
As I see this answer still is popular - nowadays it is possible to achieve this through Docker as well. Try using docker-vpn.
| Q: VPN with two mac users I have two users accounts on my computer, one needs to stay connected to a VPN while the other account, both being logged in, is not supposed to use the VPN. OS X 10.9 seems to only give me global VPN access or none. Does anyone know a solution?
A: I have a very dirty work around. So I hope someone will come up with a better solution.

A: This is not feasible without virtual machines. Networks exist on a system level and not the user level. Even with per-app VPN, you’re constantly juggling and testing and losing control of things in practice.
It was not feasable in the past, but with Apple hypervisor, you can do lightweight ARM VM that scale well or choose a dedicated cluster of low cost Unix devices. They are now economical for this sort of scale out of apps and network customization you contemplate with two accounts on macOS.

Q: Terminal Equivalent of Finder Sort Order One of the features I like about the Finder is that it sorts numbers "correctly", i.e - a file named "Episode 10" will come after "Episode 9" in a list, rather than after "Episode 1".
However, I haven't been able to find a way to replicate this ordering on the command line with any of the basic tools such as ls, sort and so-on, though I may have just missed or misunderstood an option.
Is it possible to mimic the Finder's alphabetic sort order to sort numbers by value when encountered? If so, is there a means of doing this that is cross-platform (even partially)?
A: GNU ls has the rather useful -v option that will do exactly what you want. Unfortunately there's no similar option for OS X's BSD-based ls.
A quick solution is to do the following:
$ ls | sort -n -k1.5
That sorts the output starting at the 5th character of the first field.
The same question was asked at StackOverflow and there are a number of other possible solutions listed there (some are Linux-specific though).

Q: Remap Mavericks alt key without external tools For some reason the way you write an @ symbol doesn't work anymore. I'm on a german keyboard and it used to be ⌥L but now it is ⌃⌥L which is annoying as hell!
Where are these kind of things stored? I just want a .plist or anything and edit it. All these tools are so incredibly annoying!
A: DefaultKeyBinding.dict
Create ~/Library/KeyBindings/DefaultKeyBinding.dict and enter
{ "~l" = (insertText:, "@"); }
This rebinds ⌥L to insert @
~ = ⌥
Quit and reopen applications for the change to take effect

Q: Environment Variables on Mavericks I am trying to set an environment variable that will be accessible from both a GUI application (Pycharm) as well as from the Terminal. This variable is called PYTHONPATH.
I have tried
*
*Setting the system-wide PATH environment variable in Mavericks which doesn't help me because I have to set PYTHONPATH, not PATH
*How to set system-wide environment variables on OS X Mavericks which gave me the idea to use launched.conf but adding
setenv PYTHONPATH ~/Documents/CrowdSurfer
doesn't seem to have the desired effect. Maybe I got the syntax wrong here?
Can anyone give me a step by step guide of how to do this correctly on Mavericks?
A: At this point in time (2022, Montrey) most hacks are not working. But the good news is that you can use launchctl in your shell, either explicitly (and until reboot)
launchctl setenv LANG "sv_SE"
launchctl setenv PATH `echo $PATH`
or in a script in your .bashrc.
There are of course a couple of ways to make such a command run a startup too.
NOTE: of course you cannot change environment variables for already running apps.

A: Check your current PYTHONPATH setting by opening /Applications/Utilities/Terminal.app and typing the following command and hit the return key:
echo $PYTHONPATH
Try this alternate syntax in Terminal.app to see if it sets your PYTHONPATH correctly. Recheck the result with the above command again. If so, put the line in your ~/.bash_profile (although a file in /etc/paths.d/ with just the PATH, no commands, ought to set this system-wide).
export PYTHONPATH=$PYTHONPATH\ : $USER/Documents/CrowdSurfer ; export PYTHONPATH

Q: Apple Lightning to Micro USB I am in the process of wiring up some iPad carts but they bought keyboards for the iPads that need to be charged by Micro USB.
The cart is already wired for Apple's Lightning and was wondering, is there anything aside from re-wiring the cart to go from the male Lightning connector to Micro USB or maybe the male Lightning to female USB so I can plug in the Micro USB cable?
A: The only official Lightning / Micro USB adapter sold by Apple is the Lightning to Micro USB adapter as shown below:
There doesn't seem to be an adapter for the reverse of this.

Q: Sparrow for Mac resets after quitting Every time I quit and relaunch my Sparrow email client I am prompted with the setup screen. All my accounts and preferences are reset. It's as if I just installed the app for the first time again.
I'm not exactly sure how I got the app into this state but reinstalling it does not fix the problem. I have also tried searching my Mac for and deleting all files and folder that contain sparrow in the name, and then reinstalling but still no luck.
I've emailed Sparrow support quite some time ago and no response. Has anyone ever encountered this problem?
A: Sparrow's development was halted quite a while ago, and as OS X has developed, Sparrow hasn't kept up.
Most notably is the addition of Containers for app's data and I speculate that this is causing some problem with some code in Sparrow. Obviously, this is speculation as I haven't seen Sparrow's source code, but I don't think it's something that you can fix yourself—it's most probably a bug in Sparrow's code.

Q: Chrome notifications not appearing on both monitors (dual monitor)? When using Chrome notifications on OS X, how can I set the notifications to appear across two monitors simultaneously?
I'm using a Macbook Pro and a Thunderbolt Display, and Chrome notifications - for example, a notification of a new message on Meta Chat - only display on the Macbook Pro. I would like the notifications to display on both monitors.
I have tried:
*
*Going into the 'Settings' of Chrome Notifications, which only allows
users to change what sites can send them notifications.
*Apple's Notification Center looks to control Apple's native notifications, rather than Chrome notifications.
A: This is currently not possible.
Google Chrome uses its own code for displaying notifications which Keyboard Maestro doesn't seem to be able to interact with. There appears to be no AppleScript for even detecting notifications and Google Chrome seems to refuse to provide the content of the message to Keyboard Maestro for any sort of macro.
Also, sending Chrome notifications to Growl also doesn't help since Growl still can't show notifications on multiple displays:
*

A: multiple Chrome instances with multiple profiles
I didn't originally specify, but the idea is you have one instance of Chrome running on one display, and another running on another, and you are logged into the same Google account from both. In theory, this should give you the exact functionality you want. You should be able to close all the windows of one of the instances, and hide the application, and still see the notifications pop up (if the notifications steal focus).
Open up /Applications/Utilities/Terminal.app
type at the prompt
josh2note@stack:~$
josh2note@stack:~$
josh2note@stack:~$ mkdir Chrome\ Profile\ Secondary
josh2note@stack:~$ /Applications/Google\ Chrome.app/Contents/MacOS/Google\ Chrome --user-data-dir=Chrome\ Profile\ Secondary &
josh2note@stack:~$
josh2note@stack:~$
Drag the Chrome window that appears to your secondary display. Log into your Google account.
Go back to the terminal.
type at the prompt
josh2note@stack:~$
josh2note@stack:~$
josh2note@stack:~$
josh2note@stack:~$ mkdir Chrome\ Profile\ Main
josh2note@stack:~$ /Applications/Google\ Chrome.app/Contents/MacOS/Google\ Chrome --user-data-dir=Chrome\ Profile\ Main &
josh2note@stack:~$
Leave the Chrome window that appears on the main display and log into the same Google account.
A: video Mirroring
Mirroring displays the same image on each display.
*
*1) Make sure your additional display is properly connected and powered on.
*2) From the Apple () menu, choose System Preferences.
*3) From the View menu, choose Displays.
*4) Click the Arrangement tab.
*5) Enable (check) "Mirror Displays" in the bottom-left corner.
In the example below. the blue boxes represent each display that is connected. The white bar at the top of both boxes represents your menu bar and is shown on both displays when they are showing the same information.
A: From experience I know that developers are very accomodating.
If you want this feature, you should, and get all your friends also to, go to register and request this feature at the Google Chrome Feature Requests and Suggestions Forum. You'd be surprised how well that works.

Q: How to force a page refresh in Chrome on iOS? I'm testing a mobile website and when changing javascript it doesn't seem to refresh it, even when using the "reload" in the menu or when appending a random variable, for example "?test=123" to the end of the url.
I also force quite the app but still no luck.
Any other ideas?
A: Per your comment that "a way to delete the browser cache completely" may be suitable, you can go to the Chrome menu → Settings → Privacy and clear the cache.

A: Per your comment that "a way to delete the browser cache completely" may be suitable, you can go to the Chrome menu → Settings → Privacy and clear the cache.
A: IMO it sounds like client side caching is not your problem. It's more likely you're running into a server side cache problem. If you're using a CDN (cloudflare, cloudfront, etc.) to serve assets, make absolutely sure that you're expiring assets appropriately.
Barring that, I recommend using Chrome in Incognito mode which does not persist a long lived client cache.
A: I'm aware that this is an old question, but perhaps this will help others.
In the browser you're using, tap the address bar, and type:
javascript:location.reload(true);
or
data:text/html,<script>location.reload(true);</script>
This has been tested on iPhone XS, in Google Chrome.
A: Yep. Maybe first you should clean up Chrome browser cache and some temporary files, and see how it goes.

Q: Is Macintosh System Software 1.0 (Classic MacOS) Free? Since Macintosh System Softwsre 1.0 is extremely old, has Apple made it free to download? If so, is there a link to download it from?
I am just curious to try and run it in an hardware emulator and get a feel for the old operating system...
A: The answer to your question is kind of complex. Here are the bullet points:
*
*Apple has never open-sourced any version of the operating system that ran on Macs prior to Mac OS X.
*Prior to System 7.1 (as it was called at the time), Apple did provide versions of the System software free of charge. System 7.5.3 (and an updater to System 7.5.5) were also eventually made available free of charge, but that didn't happen until years after the fact. None of these versions are open-source.
*On non-PowerPC systems, the System software depends heavily on the Mac ROMs. These have never been made available free of charge. Also keep in mind that the first version of the System software to run on PowerPC systems was System 7.1.2, so everything before then would need a ROM, and you can't get those.

A: Back in the day, many MacOS versions were not sold, but available for free - if you installed it on hardware that shipped with MacOS X (that was in the days of clones that shipped legally with some MacOS version). I think that was true with versions up to 7.5.3, possibly 7.5.5 I've never seen any version before 8.0 for sale. You certainly cannot buy MacOS 1.0 for money.
You'd have to dig out an old license agreement and read it very carefully to see what is actually allowed. Current versions for example allow running the software on "Apple branded computers", while slightly older versions allowed running on "Apple labeled computers" (probably changed because some joker put an Apple sticker on a Dell computer and claimed it was "Apple labeled"). I would say if someone installs it on something that can be called an "Apple branded computer" in 50 years time when Macs are long forgotten, it's probably legal.
Practically, Apple most likely doesn't mind as long as you don't make loud claims that they cannot ignore.
A: software resources
If you're interested in older software, Gamba's site is a excellent resource, as well as Jag's House. You might also register at the Applefritter forums, and the 68k Macintosh Liberation Army forums,
or Vintage Mac Software Library and the abandonware site Macintosh Garden.
Check out mess.org
A sister project to MAME is MESS which emulates just about everything.
recommended hardware
If you are very serious, I'd recommend getting a B&W G3 Powermac with the "Revision 2" motherboard (Apple Part No. 820-1049-A), and run OS X 10.5 Leopard. The Disk Utility that came with that version of OS X allows you to initially prepare scsi disks for use with older systems and older macs.
The "Revision 2" units fixed the hard drive controller problem with an improved (UDMA-33) IDE controller that supported the standard IDE master/slave two-drive arrangement. This controller worked flawlessly with any drive within the 28-bit LBA constraint. Most Rev. 2 units shipped with a hard disk bracket designed for two drives (in fact Rev. 1 can hold up to three drives side-by-side, while Rev. 2 can hold up to four drives in two stacks, each with two drives) and also included a slightly updated version of the Rage 128 graphics card. The easiest way to tell if the unit is a Rev.2 is by looking at the CMD chip located on the logic board. The CMD chip on Rev. 1 logic boards is PCI646U2 and on Rev. 2 logic boards is 646U2-402.
emulation in browser
emulation in javascript with JSMESS
A: Apple provides a long list of older software, incl. System 6, 7, and 8 here:
archive.org: http://www.info.apple.com/support/oldersoftwarelist.html
A: No, System 1.0 is not open source and not in the public domain. Apple provided it with the purchase of a Macintosh. The system software was not available for separate purchase.
History
With MacOS 1.0 you are probably referring to the first version of Apple's operating system.
In 1984, with the release of the first Macintosh (128K), the system was actually not called MacOS but was just Mac System Software.
Apple has called it MacOS since version 7.6.
You can read (and learn) a lot about it on Wikipedia.
Emulation
About an emulator of the first Mac system. There is one you can use : mini vMac
*
*It will require a ROM to run vMac
*and finally a disk image of the system
Unzip everything, start the mini vMac, it will load the ROM and you'll get a blinking floppy with a question mark because it couldn't find the system. To solve it just drag the system image over vMac and the system will start !

Q: Efficiently add builds to all slides in Keynote 6.2 I would like to have all of my slides build the bullet lists with Appear / By Bullet (animation, build in: appear, delivery: by bullet). In Keynote prior to version 6, it was possible to set a build in the master slide. Keynote 6 has removed that option. I find I'm manually going through every slide to add this animation.
Is there some way to do this in a more automated / efficient way?
A: Under the "format" menu, you should be able to copy the animation you want and paste it for any other object. Does that not work?

A: In previous version of Keynote you could add animations to a section of the master, and those would apply to all slides with that master. It appears that Apple in its wisdom has disabled this feature. So the previous answer is correct: the only way to "automate" is to paste the animation into each slide.

Q: Where does the Apple app Contacts store its files in Mavericks? I'm making a clean re-install of Mavericks on a client's computer. I believe she had a large number of address book entries in the Contacts app that were not in iCloud, and I need to restore them from the backup. Where are they stored? I'm guessing they should be in Users/~/Library/ but I cannot find the location.
A: Contacts.app stores its data in ~/Library/Application\ Support/AddressBook.
For the individual databases, you can list them using the following command:
find ~/Library/Application\ Support/AddressBook/ -name "AddressBook-v22.abcddb"

Q: Moving iBooks library to an external drive Is there any way to move the existing iBooks library on my MacBook (Mavericks) to an external drive and also ensure iBooks treats that as the new location for all future purposes? I am running out of space on my default drive and need to unclutter it.
A: You can copy, then symlink, the iBooks folder to an external drive.
The iBooks library is stored in the following location:
~/Library/Containers/com.apple.BKAgentService/Data/Documents/iBooks/Books
Quit iBooks, then move this1 folder to an external drive. Then, symlink this folder:
ln -s /path/to/iBooks-library ~/Library/Containers/com.apple.BKAgentService
1 In the example above, I moved the entire BKAgentService container, but you can just move the books themselves and leave the rest on the local disk — may improve performance.

Q: Where is the text expansion file located with OS X? I'd like to give a colleague all of my text expansions without her having to re-enter them on her Mac. I was hoping to locate the file, then simply send her a copy to replace her own. (She doesn't use the feature.) I've searched the Library folder, but can't locate the file that contains the text expansion data.
Does anyone know where the file produced by System Preferences > Keyboard > Text is kept?
A: Before Mavericks, they're stored in NSUserReplacementItems in the global preferences. However, since Mavericks, the replacements are stored in…
~/Library/Dictionaries/CoreDataUbiquitySupport/$USER~*/UserDictionary/*/store/UserDictionary.db

~/Library/Dictionaries/CoreDataUbiquitySupport/$USER~*/UserDictionary/*/store/UserDictionary.db
A: I've tried this a few times: I've deleted all of the files in that UserDictionary folder and restarted my Mac (10.9.3), but the expansion text list (Sys Pref:Keyboard:Text) remains. I'm thinking that there may be some cache file somewhere.
I'm trying to delete the file itself, because the whole text expansion system on my Mac has gone wonky. If I delete any shortcut, and then add it in again with a different expansion, it just doesn't work. So only about half of the 80+ expansions currently expand, while the other half work fine.
(I'm referring to the files found in ~/Library/Dictionaries/CoreDataUbiquitySupport/$USER~/UserDictionary//store/UserDictionary.db )

Q: How to turn off autoplay for watch later playlist in Youtube App for iOS YouTube has built the annoying "feature" of autoplay within the Watch Later playlist into its recent iOS update. Is there any way to turn it off?
I love falling asleep to a video that I pick from my Watch Later and I don't want it to keep playing and playing more and more videos long after I'm asleep when all I want is to see that one video I picked.
A: One trick.
Click share button. Choose "message" option to get a link. Open safari and paste the link. Then. Enter. Now the youtube app pops again. And no more hassle. Play only one vid.

Q: Where is the screenshot property list now located in Mavericks? Previously, the screenshot property list could be found at:
~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.screencapture.plist
In Mavericks, this file no longer exists. In the past, I used to be able to manipulate the location and image type of screenshots using the .plist mentioned above. Where are these values now stored? Do I now need to create the plist in order to manipulate these variables, IE:
defaults write com.apple.screencapture location ~/folder/of/my/choice
To be sure this was not an issue with my user account, I created a new admin. account and tested.
A: Looking at my MBA with 10.9.2 it is still in the
User/myname/Library/Preferences/com.apple.screencapture.plist
As it turns out, the .plist will only exist (be created) if you modify the screencapture settings, like location to save and others.

Q: iBooks vs epub: What's the difference? Until now, I was under the impression that ePub was the de facto standard for Apple and the default format used by iBooks. But recently I downloaded some ebooks from the iTunes store and found them to have the .ibooks extension instead. What's the difference between the two? Also, how can one convert an ePub document into an ibooks document, if that is possible?
A: An .iBooks-file is an .EPUB-file with extra properties and features added by Apple once it has been made available via Apple's iBooks. (At this point it can be downloaded from the iBooks application)
So basically it is just an extended with some Apple properties epub-file. Like Author publisher details which is visible in iBooks.app as well.

So basically it is just an extended with some Apple properties epub-file. Like Author publisher details which is visible in iBooks.app as well.
source 1 - PC.net

A: EPUB is indeed a common standard, and also the default standard in use by Apple for both .pub and .ibooks files.
The difference between the two is the addition to .ibooks files (as others have stated) of undocumented, proprietary XML namespaces and undocumented extensions to CSS, which include options for fonts, mathematical equation rendering, and more interactivity options. This allows the facility within some author tools like iBooks Author to include what are essentially dashboard widgets to be embedded into documents which are not supported in standard EPUB.
Both file types are essentially using either the EPUB 2 or 3 standard internally, but both are typically only viewable using the iBooks applications on iOS and OSX for a couple of reasons:
*
*Firstly, .ibooks have the aforementioned extensions which are not openly documented and therefore only Apple know what to do with them
*Secondly they are commonly copy protected with DRM. The FairPlay DRM system used by Apple is again, only intended for use on official iOS and OSX appplications.
The EPUB specification does not enforce or suggest a particular DRM scheme, but the standard allows for an additional layer that is not required for publishers to implement. This affects the level of support for various DRM systems on devices and the portability of purchased e-books. Consequently, such DRM incompatibility segments the EPUB format along the lines of DRM systems, undermining the advantages of a single standard format and confusing the consumer.
Confusingly, because the DRM is essentially allowed but not dictated or enforced not all EPUB files are readable on all readers that support EPUB, as they also require compatibility with the DRM system if one is used. As such, a DRM'd EPUB from Apple, is only readable on Apple software, but Apple aren't the only people to do this. Adobe Digital Editions are EPUB files using the .epub filename extension that are not readable using the iBooks applications, as they require online activation to provide authentication in exactly the same way.
It's worth noting that not all EPUB files have such DRM, but many, particularly ones bought online, especially from Apple, do.
Finally, as to how you can convert an .epub to a .ibooks, you would imagine the simplest way is to use the free iBooks Author application from the Mac Apple Store, and simply load it in, and save it out - however despite that iBooks is happily using EPUB under the covers, there is no import option and the tool is intended to be used to create new content from scratch, rather than convert existing stuff. You can copy/paste to achieve the net result but there is no practical reason to do this, as using the .ibooks format in and of itself confers no extra benefits or functionality than reading it in the original .epub format, in fact it further limits the potential portability of the document which is a net loss in usability.
A: .ibooks files are a special Apple-only multi-touch version of the epub standard. They can only be created using the iBooks Author app, and they can only be read by the iBooks app on an iOS device or a Mac running OS 10.9 or higher.
The main attraction of the .ibooks format for authors is that it can easily incorporate a large variety of interactive features via widgets. The Apple list is at http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2789 and a 3rd party list is at https://bookry.com/author/widget/library/
.epub is an open standard which can be produced by a number of apps (including Apple's Pages) and can be read on any platform using a variety of apps (including Apple's iBooks). There is no way to convert .epub to .ibooks, other than to put the content into iBooks Author and republish it from that app.
Starting with version 2.3 of June 2015, iBooks Author can also produce .epub format, as long as one of the .epub templates is used.

Q: Display IP address in an Automator alert I am running an Automator script to launch SFTP on my Mac when double-clicked. Here’s the script:
do shell script "sudo -s launchctl load -w /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/ftp.plist" with administrator privileges
tell app "Finder" to display alert "SFTP Opened and your IP address is"
The alert displayed is:
SFTP Opened and your IP address is
As you can see, the alert message is incomplete because I don’t know how to retrieve the IP address of my system to pass through as a variable in the second line of my code. Any workaround? Please don’t suggest any external tools. And please don’t suggest using Automator’s System variable “IP address” with a separate “Ask for Confirmation” box because I want the IP to be displayed as a part of my existing message in the alert that I am already showing.
A: You can set a variable containing your IPv4, then append the contents of the variable to the contents of the alert message:
set ipaddress to IPv4 address of (get system info)
tell app "Finder" to display alert "SFTP opened and your IP address is " & ipaddress

A: Contexts looks nice, but I've never used it personally. It seems to be similar in functionality with Witch, but it has a more modern (iOS 7-style) design.
It does have the ability to map itself to Command+Tab.
It costs $9.

Q: Huge number of anonymous.xpcd? When I list out launchctl, I'm seeing nearly a hundred instances of iterations of:
Command: sudo launchctl list | grep --invert-match com.apple yields:
1 - 0x7fb4b0f38e50.anonymous.launchd
711 - 0x7fb4b3e4dd70.anonymous.xpcd
What might these be or how would I go about prying open these to see what they are precisely and why there are so many instances of these?
A: From Apple's launchctl manual page (emphasis added):
Note that you may see some jobs in the list whose labels are in
the style "0xdeadbeef.anonymous.program". These are jobs which
are not managed by launchd, but, at one point, made a request to
it. launchd claims no ownership and makes no guarantees regarding these jobs. They are stored purely for bookkeeping purposes.

A: I looked up and have those as well and many more but those are associated with app name.(like Skype, Mail and others)
One way to find more is to use console and type xpcd in search.
I did that and it found some apps without correct permission.
So the suggestion is to restore the permissions that might stop the xpcd events.
I also found a good answer and explanation here.
That isn't actually launchctl creating a new process; it's most likely
dnsmasq (or other apps) itself. If it fork()s into the background, launchd can't tell;
then when it talks to launchd, launchd creates an anonymous entry for
it. Make sure example dnsmasq doesn't background itself.
(The - listed for the regular launchctl list output indicates that the
original dnsmasq process exited.)

Q: Invalid Argument using ditto I'm using a backup script on my server that uses ditto and I keep getting the following error:
ditto: /Volumes/BKP/Daily_bkp.051114/VM Share/Machine/Backups/backup_copies.cmd: Invalid argument
This is my code
/usr/bin/ditto -V --rsrc "$VMSHARE" "$DLY_BKP/VM Share" > $DLOG 2> $TMPLOG

I'm using double quotes to deal with the spaces in the directory name and this file is the only one ditto is having an issue with. I checked the backup and it actually backed up the file no problem, so I'm stumped as to why I keep getting this error. The file doesn't ever change and I've made sure nothing is using it at the time of the backup.
Any help will be appreciated. Thanks.
A: I solved it, the file in question had extended metadata on it and that is what caused the problem. I attempted using the --norsrc and --noextattr flags, but this didn't work.

Q: NTFS-3G partition name contains increasing number When using NTFS-3G using OSXFuse installed via Homebrew, my Windows drives are mounted but contain a number that is increased every time the volume is mounted:
These numbers don't seem to be limited. I have to regularly delete all the unused mount points. I'm assuming this problem could also occur because of insufficient permissions for some process, but I'm not sure for which or how to verify this.
/Volumes/ has the permissions 777 and owner root:admin.
The annoying effect of the changing mount point is that I cannot make links to a particular path on the Windows drive. At the next restart it will have changed...
A: Using OSXFUSE with version 2.7 on the Mavericks this working.
Since I can not post more than 2 links, read a tutorial I posted and solved my problem in this link!
