Q: How do I prevent my MacBook from sleeping when downloading apps from the App Store When I try to download large apps from the App Store whether on battery or AC power the displays turns off after time set and downloading also stops.
The Energy Saver preferences are set to defaults.
What should I do to continue download even when display is off?
I am using OS X 10.9.4
A: If you don't want to install any software or change settings, you can use the Terminal utility caffeinate. Open Terminal (located in /Applications/Utilities/), type in caffeinate, and press return ↩︎.
If you want to set a timeout so it will go to sleep after some amount of time, use this:
caffeinate -t 3600
That will make it stay awake for an hour. (3600 is the number of seconds you want it to stay awake.)
To stop or cancel the caffeinate command, press ^ ControlC.

To stop or cancel the caffeinate command, press ^ ControlC.
A: you can use caffeinate -w <the Process ID of the download> for this.
*
*caffeinate command makes your computer unable to fall asleep (although your display may),
*the -w option makes it wait for a process to finish and before then your computer cannot fall sleep, which is exactly what you wanted to do.
to do so you can first find the Process ID(PID) for your download with Activity Monitor, then open up Terminal(bash) and type in for example caffeinate -w 4708, replace the number with the PID you found.
*
*be careful with a low PID number as it may be a system process, in which case your computer may run on until the battery dies.
*also if you plan on using this command often on certain processes, you may want to use caffeinate -w $(pidof <name of process>) instead, this will find the ID of the process you name each time (as PID is assigned by the system and will change each time you run it)
the advantage this has over
*
*changing system preferences: it doesn't require you to change the preference back once you're finished
*caffeinate -t <number of seconds>: your download may not finish in a certain amount of time, in that case the goal is not achieved; or it may finish really quickly, in that case you would be wasting energy.
A: You could try Caffeine from the Mac App Store:
Caffeine is a tiny program that puts an icon in the right side of your menu bar. Click it to prevent your Mac from automatically going to sleep, dimming the screen or starting screen savers. Click it again to go back. Right-click (or ⌘-click) the icon to show the menu.
A: In you Energy Saver options, just change "Computer sleep" option. For exemple you could put "Computer sleep" option to "Never" While on Power Adapter.
Default option put your Mac to sleep after 15 minutes while on Power Adapter.
A: I suggest Amphetamine, downloadable from the app store or here. Using the app, you can set up custom periods for your computer to sleep.
A: *
*Check Prevent computer from sleeping when the display is off in the Energy Saver setting under System Preferences.
*Leave it or press shift+control+Power to turn off the Display.
A: As I don't want to install any software nor want to use the Terminal for such a trivial task (nor have found any setting allowing me to never have my Mac sleeping), I use this:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G1IbRujko-A
Apparently, opening a Youtube video and keeping the focus on its tab prevents Chrome from sleeping (as you fake watching a video) until the video ends.
You can then put the brightness to 0 and leave the computer without anxiety: the download will still be ongoing.
A: You could set hot corners. Push the cursor to that corner & it won't nod off.
That would save you having to change the regular policy, for the times you do want it to sleep after being idle.
A: If you don't want it to sleep, just go to "System Preferences" then click "Energy Saver" then make your Mac's sleep auto to "Never". Then change it to "Normal" once download is done, Also one tip: attach the charger (or what ever you wanna call the charger I.E AC power etc.) while app/file/document/any other things are downloading.
If it's too complicated just go to "System Preferences" -> "Energy Saver" then set it to "Never".
A: Try NoSleep Application.
It is simple and has easy to use User Interface You can even close your lid and listen to music after that. Your App Store will continue downloading even after closing the lid.
A: After having tried a couple of similar apps I settled on InsomniaX — a free and open-source app that allows sleeping the screen while keeping the system on. The only annoyance I've found is that once in a while it asks for the user's password.
Installable via homebrew with:
brew cask install insomniax
A: I use https://keepingyouawake.app/ - it's free, open source, and lives in the menu bar where I can easily toggle it.
A: just leave a video running like a 8 hour sleep music video

Q: Is there a command like namei for OS X? I'm sifting through some incorrect permission issues and discovered the namei command for Linux. Homebrew doesn't currently have a Mac port.
namei - follow a pathname until a terminal point is found
Is there a command or series of commands that can be used to accomplish the same thing on OS X?
A: Macports has a port of it: https://trac.macports.org/browser/trunk/dports/devel/util-linux/Portfile
I did try to make a homebrew recipe for it, but there were some issues getting it to compile. It's definitely possible, but there are some problems to work out.
Update:
I've made a formula that can be installed with:
brew install mkdryden/homebrew-misc/namei
This is the original version, not the version pulled into util-linux. (not sure how much has changed since the original)

Q: Opt+arrow cursor manipulation stopped working Part of my regular repertoire of keyboard shortcuts is Opt+arrow and Shift+Opt+arrow for moving (and selecting) a word at a time in apps like Word, TextEdit, etc.
A couple days ago Opt+arrow stopped working in most places (though not all). I figured a reboot would clear it out but it did not. The only place I can find that it works right now, strangely enough, is a textbox on a website in Chrome. So I can use it this dialog I'm typing in right now, but not the URL field of the browser.
Any idea how to fix and/or reset this behavior? I'm lost without it.
A: I found the answer.
Even though it wasn't selected, I did have installed "Unicode Hex Input" as an Input Soure (along side U.S) in the Keyboard->Input Sources preference pane. I removed the Unicode option altogether, and the opt-arrow shortcut started working again instantly.

A: This helped me find the solution for OS X 10.6/Snow Leopard, which is a little different. The Input Sources tab is under System Preferences->Language & Text, instead of Keyboard. I had Unicode Hex Input installed and enabled; unchecking it fixed the Option-Arrow problem, and re-checking it again doesn't seem to bring the problem back! Very strange. I'll probably leave it unchecked just in case.
Edit: More details. It looks like the actual problem has to do with the Keyboard & Character Viewer item in the menu bar. (This appears as a national flag when nation-specific input is selected, or a yellow-on-purple "U+" when Unicode Hex Input is selected.) When Unicode Hex Input is selected in the Keyboard & Character Viewer, the Option-Arrow keys don't work in some apps. You can leave Unicode installed and enabled in Language & Text->Input Sources, but it can't be selected in the Keyboard & Character Viewer.

Q: How to identify application of hung menu bar icon My Mac sometimes ends in a state with high CPU usage for SystemUIServer. This causes poor performance and decreased battery life.
I can resolve the problem by rebooting the machine but the problem inevitably reappears after some time.
I have found out that this seems to be caused by an application that has an icon in the menu bar. I tried closing all such applications by right-clicking them and selecting their Quit menu item. Now, I notice a gap in the menu line and when I hover the mouse cursor over the gap then I see the infamous spinning beach ball of death.
How do I identify the misbehaving the underlying application – i.e. its name and/or filesystem path?
I am running Mac OS X Lion version 10.7.5
A: You can look in Activity Monitor's list of processes for any which are not responding. Such processes are shown in red, as below, and can be force quit or killed.

A: You can look in Activity Monitor's list of processes for any which are not responding. Such processes are shown in red, as below, and can be force quit or killed.
A: Use the Accessibility Inspector, accessible from Xcode → Open Developer Tool → Accessibility Inspector.
Click "Show" on the "Hierarchy" sub-section (which will show you the Application Name).
Click on the "Target Icon" at the top of the Inspector (Labeled: Start inspection follows point).
Hover over the item and the pane may show you enough information for you to determine what it is. For example, hovering the Dropbox menu bar item shows "Dropbox <version>" under AXHelp, and hovering Little Snitch shows "Little Snitch Agent" under AXTitle.
A: Try opening a terminal window and entering killall SystemUIServer and press enter, this should reload your menu bar.
You can also try copyingcom.apple.systemuiserver.plist from ~/Library/Preferences to your desktop, then deleting it from the Preferences folder. This will force a new .plist to be created.
You may just want to run this handy command from terminal:
cp ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.systemuiserver.plist ~/Desktop/com.apple.systemuiserver.plist ; rm ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.systemuiserver.plist ; echo 'All done here. Restart your computer from the Apple Menu'
It will reboot your computer after copying the file to the desktop and removing the specified file.

Q: App to organize my photos into folders by date Is there an app on OS X that can sort through all your photos within a folder and organize them into folders and name each folder the date it was taken.
A: Here's a bash script that sorts files into year/month/day/ directory paths.
#!/bin/bash
dir=/path/to/directory
find "$dir" -maxdepth 1 -type f | while IFS= read -r file; do
year=$(stat -f "%Sm" -t "%y" $file)
month=$(stat -f "%Sm" -t "%m" $file)
day=$(stat -f "%Sm" -t "%d" $file)
[[ ! -d "$dir/$year/$month/$day" ]] && mkdir -p "$dir/$year/$month/$day";
mv "$file" "$dir/$year/$month/$day"
done
Untested, have backups, etc
Save the script as something.sh, change the second line of the script to the path that you want to sort the contents of, then run chmod u+x /path/to/file.sh && /path/to/file.sh. However, if you are unfamiliar with shell scripts I wouldn't recommend this hacked-together, untested script that I wrote late at night be the very first script you run!

A: Aperture can import images and have them sorted by date but you end up with projects inside Aperture (the project names are the dates the photos were taken). Make sure the Preferences » Import settings are set to split import into "One Project Per Day". If you don't want to keep them in Aperture, you can easily export them back out into folders.

Q: What unit does the activity monitor use in the energy tab? The activity monitor of OS X show in the energy tab the energy impact. What unit does this value use? Is it Watts? If so, 327 seems a bit high for my taste. I am running this on the low end 21" late 2013 iMac. Of course, Handbrake will use lots of energy, but I would not think that the iMac can pull as much as 320 Watts.
A: It's a proprietary unit calculated from other available data about a process, including but not limited to CPU utilisation, both short-term and long-term averages (think load averages).

Q: Numbers app: how to change x axis position + change chart's line width I have a regular linear graph and have y values running from negative to positive, enabling x axis shows the line at the bottom of the graph. How is it possible to set it to show at zero, i.e. running from the origin (0,0)?
I also wonder how to change the width of the line? I can change the size of the "data symbol", but can't find for the line itself.
UPD: This is easily possible to do in Excel, so it will be surprising if Numbers can't do it.
A: To answer the first part of your question, please see this Answer to Force line chart to show axis at point (0, 0)
Second part:
Select the line to highlight it. Then under Style in the Inspector the Connection Line and weight can be adjusted by point.

Q: Customize external HDD spindown timeout? It's possible to enable spinning down of mechanical hard drives using the "Put hard disks to sleep when possible" option in Energy Saver, and it's possible to customize the timeout period with sudo pmset -a disksleep MIN.
However, if I understand the man pages correctly, this applies to all hard drives connected to the system. Is it possible to only target one HDD (ideally, by UUID)? I have no objection to installing a 3rd party app to accomplish this functionality.
A: The Terminal command diskutil eject <disk_identifier> is what you are looking for.
<disk_identifier> can take the UUID of the drive as an argument.
To get the disk identifier of all mounted disks, execute the mount command.
On my Mac, the mount command gives this:
/dev/disk3 on / (hfs, local, journaled)
/dev/disk4s2 on /Volumes/iTunes (hfs, local, nodev, nosuid, journaled, noowners)
/dev/disk5s2 on /Volumes/TM_Backup (hfs, local, nodev, nosuid, journaled)
To spin down /Volumes/iTunes, I'd execute either one of the commands
diskutil eject /dev/disk4
or
diskutil eject /Volumes/iTunes.
To spin up /Volumes/iTunes, I need to execute the command:
diskutil mountDisk /dev/disk4. mountDisk only works with /dev/disk* disk identifiers.
See man diskutil for more information.

Q: How to access a connected iPhone device from within Terminal? How can I access the connected iPhone or iPad from within Terminal on OS X? I want to get all the photos (only photos) from the connected iDevice and save it to any directory in my OS X filesystem. I don't want to use the iTunes and instead just want to do it all within Terminal.
I want to get the file path like /Volumes/my_iphone_name, but for some reasons I didn't find anything such in /Volumes subdirectory. Also, diskutil list didn't get me anything that seems related to the connected device.
So where is there my iPhone detected on the entire filesystem?
A: This is probably not the answer you're looking for, but apparently this can't be done. Please see this question: iOS mount point in macOS

A: There may not be a way to transfer the photos directly to your OS X filesystem from the iPhone/iPad using Terminal. However, if you have access to a Windows computer (at home, at your local library, etc.), you can plug the device into the Windows computer and access the photos in the device's DCIM folder via File Explorer. You can then transfer the desired photos (and videos, for that matter) to a flash drive. After that, all you have to do is connect the flash drive to your OS X device. Then you will be able to transfer the photos to wherever you would like on your OS X filesystem.

A: I was looking for something similar as I use the Chrome bookmark bar in that way, but I couldn't find anything suitable. So I made an extension and have submitted it to Apple, Favicon Bar:
https://github.com/RoryCombe/FaviconBar
A: I don't believe that it can be done as of in Safari 8.
In Chrome, you can simply remove the name associated with the site bookmark and it will only show the favicon in the Bookmarks Bar. Unfortunately, doing this in Safari results in a bar of "NO_TITLE" instead.
A: There now is a solution to this: I have created Faviconographer, an app that will overlay Favicons for Safari tabs and favorites bar entries. It's still a workaround compared to a native Safari feature, but it works surprisingly well.
A: A partial solution is to use Emoji & Symbols from the Edit menu. MacOS lets you add these pretty much anywhere. Some "symbols" are even English letters in different fonts. As an example, here are two bookmarks in my Favorites Bar, where Overleaf is a regular bookmark and "Email This" uses emojis and symbols.
A: As of Safari 8, favicons no longer show up on the tab bar, to my disappointment.
One solution is to use SafariStand & EasySIMBL. Once installed (see instructions on the SafariStand site), open the SafariStand settings and check "Show Icon on Tab Bar". This will return favicons to the tabs.
A: Seemed impossible to me when using Safari. No better for an Apple store assistant. But it's a cinch with Chrome, Firefox and MS Edge.
Chrome - right-click > Edit ... Delete the name.
Firefox - right-click > Properties > Delete the name.
Edge - right-click > Show Icon Only
It's such a simple idea - I'm sad I didn't think of it earlier !

Q: How can I force new browser windows to open on my main display? I use a MacBook Air at work connected to a larger display, which while working is my main display. I use the MacBook's display as a secondary screen on which I usually have a browser open with some tools. If I cmd-tab to the browser from another application and create a new window with cmd-n it always opens on my secondary display, since I already have one window open there. What I want is for new windows to always open on the main display. Is this possible?
A: Have you tried running your browser in fullscreen mode? (Using the 2 diagonal arrows button in the upper right corner of the window)
I have a very similar setup and it works exactly as you are asking.
*
*MacBook Pro connected to a Thunderbolt Display
*Thunderbolt Display is the primary (with the Dock), MBP is secondary
*Chrome running on the MBP screen in fullscreen mode
*⌘+Tab to Chrome, which activates the app on the MBP screen
*⌘+N to create new Chrome window, which appears on the primary Thunderbolt display

Q: Web search with Alfred create new tab or new window randomly I use google search with Alfred, but after I press 'Enter', sometime the searched content shows up in a new tab in Safari, which is what I prefer. But sometime a new window of safari is created without any reason. What should I do to avoid a new window? I've already set in the preference of Safari 'Open pages in tab instead of windows' to be 'Always'.

Q: Is it possible to increase price of an App? Is there any way to increase the price of an app being sold on the App Store? (Where one could increase the price as necessary).
Where I could read more about App selling strategies?
A: You can set and change your price at any time. You can set price changes immediately, or scheduled ahead of time.
You can choose which price from a range of tiers provided by Apple.
eg. 99c, 1.99, 4.99, etc.
You can't yourself choose 49c or $2.68, or any arbitrary value.

Q: Remove hyperlink formatting from address I have created a Numbers spreadsheet containing a set of data including email addresses.
Some of these addresses appear as hyperlinks, and I can't seem to edit or change them.
Every time I try to select one it jumps to my Mail application.
I have tried to change formatting to "Text", but this seems to have no effect.
A: In the Numbers 3.5.3 this is extremely difficult to do. Thanks to @Vev for giving me the hint to discover how to do it.
*
*First: expand the size of the cell so there is some white space
around the hyperlink.
*Click once in the white space to select the
Cell.
*Click once again in the white space, to enable the Text Cursor.
*Right-Click on the hyperlink, which selects it and provides a context
menu. (If you don't have right-click enabled, use Ctrl-click on the
Mac)
*Select "Edit Link" in the context menu.
*Click the "Remove" button from the Edit Link dialog.

*Select "Edit Link" in the context menu.
*Click the "Remove" button from the Edit Link dialog.
A: If you can edit each item to touch them,
*
*go to Edit -> Substitutions and uncheck SmartLinks.
All new entries will not change and by touching the old cells, your problem is solved. (FYI, works the same in Pages as well).
A: Select the entire list or the portion that you want to change.
*
*Press Command ⌘ + c (to copy the entire list or the portion that you want to change)
*Press option ⌥ + shift ⇧ + command ⌘ + v
(very quickly). This writes over with ONLY plain text in the set font and size.
*If anything went wrong, use command ⌘ + z to revert.
A: Highlight the entire link. Then use Format/Remove link.
A: In older versions of Numbers, it is necessary to cut and repaste the hyperlinked line (with the AutoCorrect option mentioned already turned off.) Select the line, cut it, then paste it. It will then be pasted without hyperlinking.
This will be necessary even to edit the line. This is because clicking on the line to edit it will only perform the hyperlink action. This is a seriously amazing failure on someones part at Apple. The fact that this went unaddressed for years, unfortunately, is par-for-the-course for Apple.
A: I have a spreadsheet where all the cells in one column contain the hyperlinks. I select and copy that column and pasted it in a new Excel spreadsheet. Went to Edit / Clear / Hyperlinks. Then pasted it back into my Numbers document. That may be cheating, but that works.
A: The solution is for me:
*
*Select cells or column you want to correct and apply Cut command (Command ⌘ + X)
*With these cells still selected, go to Text Tab and Select predefined style for cells. This is important because if you don’t do that, each cell memorizes text style and treat it like hyperlink style cell.
*Paste with same style (Option ⌥ + Shift ⇧ + Command ⌘ + v)
A: If you have a long list of entries (some of my spreadsheets have 300+ entries and the emails are always hyperlinked!!) here's what I do:
*
*Copy the column of emails into a text editing program such as bbedit.
*replace instances of '@" with at - or really any unique string
*I also do the same thing with the dot - replace '.' with DOT
*Then I paste the result back into the column (making sure they're in the correct rows.
*If I want to use the list to send out a mass email, I just do the same thing in revers: Copy the column into bbedit and replace at with '@'.
A pain but easier than doing each formatting by hand.
It's really stupid of Apple and it should be changed.
A: In Numbers '09 (version 2.3) there is much easier way. Select all of the cells that you which to remove hyperlinks from, im my case Command+A to select everything. Then open your Inspector. In the second tab from the far right called "hyperlink", at the bottom there is a checkbox called "Make all hyperlinks inactive". That's it!
I hope this is helpful as I'm so glad I found this!
A: Cut column content with Command X, then paste without formatting by using CommandShiftV .
These are not dedicated Numbers but general Mac shortcuts.

Q: What to do if a distribution certificate is expiring for an app store app I have an app in the app store and the distribution profile is about to run out in about a week, but my developer membership doesn't actually expire till next year. Do I need to rebuild and re-submit my app with a new certificate?
A: You can renew the certificate by selecting the certificate and clicking Renew. This means you won't have to resubmit the app just to update the certificate.

Q: How to search for evidence of Camfecting (webcam hacking) on MB? I'm worried about camfecting (webcam hacking). The built-in camera light on my macbook (running OSX) is not on, but it isn't hard wired so that doesn't say a lot.
Can I watch outbound traffic in activity monitor to detect data egress (live streaming seems most likely when camfecting is in progress)?
A: Objective See has an application that continuously monitors webcam and microphone activity called OverSight. It throws up a notification if either become active and has worked well for me.
Note: the developers rightly warn that this software may not catch all malicious use of the webcam or microphone.

https://objective-see.com/products/oversight.html
A: It is "hard"wired... the firmware of the webcam has this behavior built in. To hack this one would need to rewrite the camera firmware to disable it.
There is very little chance of this actually happening to you. Apple does not document on how to do this, and the actually firmware is probably encrypted.
You seem to be unable to find evidence of this, but got you started on your search in the first place? Lack of evidence would mean this did not take place, yet you are searching anyway?

Q: Show output of postinstall script in Apple's installer window I use a lengthy postinstall script for an installer package. The postinstall script produces lots of log output which is written to /var/log/installer.log.
Is there any chance to show this output underneath or above the progress bar in the installer window, since the progress bar seems to "get stuck" for quite a long time with about 95% finished while the postinstall script is running.
Thanks for any hint!

Q: How do I prevent iPhone from alerting twice when a text message arrives? How do I prevent the iPhone 5 from beeping twice when a text message arrives?
It beeps twice when there is a new message. I only want one notification. How do I have only one notification instead of two? It plays the notification sound, waits about 2 minutes, then plays it again if the phone is not touched. How do I turn double notification sounds off?
A: Settings App -> Notifications -> Messages -> Repeat Alerts
change that to "never." :-)
Let me know if that helped...

Q: Mac OSX Server - AFP Firewalling Is it possible to write an ipfw rule to:
1 - block a specific AFP Share by the Shares Name?
2 - block that AFP Share from access by anyone but the local network, i.e: no external IPs.
And if so could I have an example please based on my AFP Share name of 'CLOUD'
Thx.
MacPro OSX Server 10.7.latest
Netgear SRX5308
A: Unfortunately, no... the relevant ipfw rules are all IP/portnumber based and are completely ignorant of protocol specific info like share names.... this means you can either allow all or nothing for the AFP service on the server.
Obviously, if you have 2 servers, just kill outside access for that one server, but then you probably wouldn't be asking the question.
A workaround hack would be to fire up a VM on the server that gets a totally different IP address and then use ipfw to allow/deny as appropriate. Is that an option for you?

Q: Reset Safari from command line I accidentally navigated to one of those sites that pops up a dialog telling me that my computer is infected. Upon clicking the OK button, that dialog reappears, ad infinitum.
I cannot close the tab or otherwise interact with Safari while the dialog is up. No matter how many times I Quit or Force Quit (and no matter how many times I tell Safari "Do Not Re-open Windows") the previously-open set of tabs always reopens and this dialog pops to the fore.
How can I delete the state of things while Safari is closed?
A: Disconnect your computer from the internet (disable wlan)
Then delete browser history (Safari/Preferences/Privacy: remove all website data)

How can I delete the state of things while Safari is closed?
A: Disconnect your computer from the internet (disable wlan)
Then delete browser history (Safari/Preferences/Privacy: remove all website data)
A: I created a script, DeleteSafariTabs.command, and made it executable so I can just double-click the script.
This method leaves your history and bookmarks intact, and reliably deletes the previously open tabs.
# Most apple apps (if not all) have a file inside of
# ~/Saved Application State/ so by deleting that we
# get rid of the state of open windows Safari is using.
rm -rf ~/Library/Saved\ Application\ State/com.apple.Safari.savedState
# There is also some information about the previous
# session here so we delete this as well.
rm ~/Library/Safari/LastSession.plist
You can make the file executable by typing in chmod +x, pressing the space bar, and dragging in DeleteSafariTabs.command from Finder into the Terminal window.
A: From http://seanscus.blogspot.com/2012/08/completely-reset-safari.html
Open a terminal and enter the following commands to fully wipe out all of your old Safari settings:
mv ~/Library/Safari ~/Desktop/Safari-`date +%Y%m%d%H%M%S`; \
rm -Rf ~/Library/Caches/Apple\ -\ Safari\ -\ Safari\ Extensions\ Gallery; \
rm -Rf ~/Library/Caches/Metadata/Safari; \
rm -Rf ~/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari; \
rm -Rf ~/Library/Caches/com.apple.WebKit.PluginProcess; \

A: Oh, my! Just press and hold Shift when launching Safari from the dock.
But you have got in answers above exactly what you have asked for)
A: Quit Safari>Click on GO in finder> go to Folder> ~/Library/> rename folder named Safari to Safari1.
Reopen Safari, it will start new and a new Safari Folder will be created in Library.
Bring back some files like Bookmark etc one at a time.
A: For those that are really looking for an easy answer, disconnect from local network (Wifi/ ethernet). Open Safari and then force quit it to loose the cache. Then restart safari (it'll try to connect to the suspicious phishing pages but has no cached version. Go to menu -> safari -> reset safari and hit okay on popup to delete all history/ cache/ cookies etc
A: @Iskra 's answer nails it, The below steps works even there's no Safari in the dock.
1 - Open terminal
2 - Issue killall Safari
3 - Go to the list of apps (Four fingers swipe-inwards)
4 - Shift + Click Safari
A: Safari stores its window state in /Users/USERNAME/Library/Saved Application State/com.apple.Safari.savedState. If you close Safari, then rename that folder, the next time you open Safari it'll open with a blank slate.
Alternatively, you could temporarily disable the saved state feature across the board by going into the General pane of System Preferences and ticking the "Close windows when quitting an appellation" checkbox. If you open Safari after doing that, it'll also open with a blank slate. Remember to untick it afterward if you want to turn the saved state feature back on.
A: To reset a highjacked Safari:
*
*Click Go
*select Go to folder
*type in: ~/Library/Cookies
*hit Go
*Send all the frenkin cookies to the
trash
*Close folder
*Launch Safari
*You are Welcome!!!
Pass it on
A: I just typed google website on a word sheet, clicked on the link then go to preferences and change the home page back.
A: I find it most useful to create a .bash_alias file and add it to your .bash_profile.
Add this alias to .bash_alias and any other useful command line scripts.
alias resetsafari='rm -rf ~/Library/Saved\ Application\ State/com.apple.Safari.savedState; rm ~/Library/Safari/LastSession.plist
You will need to source .bash_profile again to refresh the aliases.
In the event you forget your saved aliases, just type alias into Terminal to see all current aliases.(This is a modification of the code someone posted above, modified into an alias form.)

Q: Set iMessage sender in applescript for a new message Applescript allows you to send messages via iMessage and the command line, ie) https://stackoverflow.com/questions/11812184/how-to-send-an-imessage-text-with-applescript-only-in-provided-service
Is there any way to set the sender of this message to something other than the "start new conversations from" default? I have multiple send/receive addresses and I am able to essentially have conversations with myself and my different verified addresses in iMessage, but only in the native app. Any advice or resources would be appreciated.
Thanks!

Q: Can Parallels use NVIDIA GeForce GT 750M indirectly? I'd like to run windows 7 via Parallels using a new 15-inch MacBook Pros with Retina display. Now, I am considering spending extra on the model with a dedicated graphics card: (NVIDIA GeForce GT 750M )
From what I have read, Parallels cannot use the NVIDA directly (unlike Bootcamp), but I'm not clear if it can use it indirectly, and if so, in what way?
In other works, if I am running a windows software in Parallels that is visualizing large 3D data sets, how much of a difference could I expect the NVIDIA model macbook to produce in comparison to the other 15-inch MacBook Pro with Retina display but no graphics card?

Q: How to see total memory usage per app? Is there a way to see memory usage per app in macOS?
That is, I want to see the total memory consumed by each app, including its child processes.
The Activity Monitor shows memory usage by process which makes it hard to determine, for example, how much memory the Chrome app is using, since it spawns multiple processes.
A: Activity Monitor > View > All Processes, Hierarchically ought to do it, with a bit of scrolling...

A: Activity Monitor > View > All Processes, Hierarchically ought to do it, with a bit of scrolling...
A: If you're not fussed about having a nice GUI and have a python distro installed, you can use psrecord.
*
*Open Terminal
*Install with pip install psrecord
*Get the Chrome PID (can use activity monitor)
*
*Run psrecord, with the --include-children flag, providing the PID as an argument
I would recommend specifying some duration (60s in my examples) otherwise psrecord would continue running until Chrome is terminated.
psrecord will record the CPU usage (%) and Memory usage (MB) which you can have it output as either a plot:
psrecord 95639 --plot chrome.png --include-children --duration 60
or a log file:
psrecord 95639 --log chrome.txt --include-children --duration 60
# Elapsed time CPU (%) Real (MB) Virtual (MB)

A: I'm totally a fan of htop which can be installed via Homebrew, which is more powerful and flexible than the activity monitor.
Run it in a console, I think it's straightforward.
A: There is USS in MacOS available.
The USS (Unique Set Size) is the memory which is unique to a process and which would be freed if the process was terminated right now.
psutil>4.0 Python library can access it
Here is I would use it
sudo python3 -c "import psutil;print(sum(p.memory_full_info().uss for p in psutil.Process(pid=292).children())/1024/1024);"
where pid=292 is PID of most outer process from Activity Monitor.

Q: Torrent clients for Mac other than uTorrent Can someone recommend a good torrent client for the Mac, other than uTorrent?
[The only problem I have with uTorrent is that occasionally it doesn't respect the upload limit. This is a known issue, and no setting seems to fix it in my case.]
I am looking for these features:
*
*Ability to select files to download (in case of multi-file torrent) BEFORE the download begins
*Show transfer rates in the dock icon
*Assign relative priorities to files within a torrent
*Good, clean UI (optional)
*No bloatware/adware like a built in media player, ads, yahoo-search-plugins, etc (optional)
A: Try Tribler, designed to fight censorship by using built-in anonymity:
Tribler.org
There is an article about it here:
Anonymous and impossible to shut down
It's open source too.

A: Try Tribler, designed to fight censorship by using built-in anonymity:
Tribler.org

A: Try qbittorrent.org
It does all the things you asked for, except showing the transfer rates in the Dock icon. But I didn't check for this option very thorough, it might have it :-)
One of the best features for me is that it can download a file in sequential order (think of a video that you can start watching it, before the download finishes 100%).
A: I highly recommend the open source client Transmission.
Features:
*
*The Mac OS X interface is written in Objective-C
*Shows transfer rates in the dock icon
*Uses Growl notifications and dock badging to keep you informed.
*Download/Upload Prioritization
Other:
*
*Doesn't bundle toolbars, pop-up/flash ads, social tools, or any other useless crap.
*It doesn't hold some feaures back for a payware version.
*Its source code is available for anyone to review.
*Doesn't track users, and their website/forums have no third-party ads or analytics.
I've been using Transmission for many years and can't imagine using anything else.
A: One more venerable classic client is Deluge.
Completely free from advertising and unwanted plugins, and has a focus on providing features the community needs, such as private downloads, password protection, and scheduling and bandwidth options.
Supports a range of plugins that expand its functionality. The plugins can utilise privacy blocklists (which you shouldn't rely on), labelling, scheduling and notification options. You can monitor folders for files, and add them automatically.
A: What about Aria2?
Being command-line based it's perhaps the most lightweight and powerful tool, and it's not only for Torrent but for file downloads in general.
Very easy to install:
(if you have the popular Homebrew package manager)
brew install aria2
and very easy to use:
aria2c TORRENTFILE
You will be surprised by how easy and how fast it downloads the files. For advanced users, it has also many useful options, e.g. to attempt to download fragments of files in some specific order (e.g. to be able to watch a video while downloading it).

Q: Connecting an iPhone to the internet Only with a Stand Apple USB Cable Without Jailbreak I have an iPhone 4S and I don't have a SIM/Data card nor can I connect to the internet using Wi-Fi as the module is broken.
I am using a Windows 7 Laptop and I'm wondering if it's possible to connect my iPhone to the internet via a standard Apple USB cable. I have confirmed my connection to the internet on my laptop. Thanks in advance.
Edit: My iPhone is not Jailbroken
A: I found some (complex) instructions here.
But since you have some complex situation with your iPhone, no SIM, no data, and NO WiFi !!, this might work for you.
It describes how to use PC Internet over IPhone via USB Cable.
Important to know is:
First and for most we need a jailbreak iPhone with Cydia installed.
In PC you have to download the latest version of IFunbox v1.9.
Download and install Privoxy v3.0.19.
Download and extract Bitvise Tunnelier
and so on... (to long to copy in here)
I could not verify for you since I do not have your setup.

A: Open /Applications in Finder in list view and show the Last Opened column by right-clicking the column titles and adding the column. This will show the last time an app was opened, and sorting by that column will order by most recently used.

Q: How to disable dock and menubar in fullscreen games with RTS style mouse scrolling? When playing games that use the newish Mac OS X fullscreen mode (i.e. the icon in the upper right hand corner of the window with two little diagonal arrows), moving the mouse cursor to the top or bottom edge of the screen causes the menubar or the dock to appear, respectively. Aside from being a bad experience, in one game it actually causes a blip in framerate. This is pretty distracting given that scrolling around a map in an RTS or other top-down game is one of the most common user actions.
I've recently run across this issue in two different games (AI War and Invisible Inc) and I'm really hoping that there is some workaround and it's not just the new normal because quite effectively fouls up the experience of playing certain games on OS X.
I wonder if it's possible for the developer to use a different API for fullscreen that makes this a non-issue?

Q: Is there a way to mirror to HDMI display on FileVault login screen? I have a MacBook Pro Retina & Mavericks, with FileVault 2 enabled. I also mirror to an HDMI display, but it doesn't show anything on FileVault 2 login. This is an issue, because I'd like to get a docking station where MacBook is actually closed (clamshell mode). But then I can't see the login screen. Is there a solution? As far I've seen at this point, I need to boot up and login with the laptop open; and then close it and put it in the dock.
A: Is the laptop plugged in? If not, it has to be plugged in in order to output to a display while closed

Q: What are some good .mbox viewers / editors for OS X? I have some .mbox files containing thousands of emails that were exported from Gmail. I'd like to be able to view mails, by conversation and by label (Gmail label), search, delete some mails, etc.
Essentially, it's a mail app in terms of UI, with labels on the left and with threaded conversations, but it works with a static mailbox file instead of talking to a real server. Sort of like how you can open a text file in a text editor, read it, search, delete things from it, and save it back.
What are some good apps that let you do this?
A: Apple Mail allows importing from .mbox files (see the import option in the File menu). I don't know how well it supports the other requirements you've listed but it might be worth a try.

I have configured it this way:
Server: 192.168.1.5
Port: 80
but when I want access https://localhost/api, Safari warns:
There was a problem communicating with the secure web proxy server (HTTPS).
How can I configure for HTTPS proxy?
A: to listen https request on your server,server need listening on port 443.for listening the traffic of 443 and 80 you need to perform routing and then for example listening on port 8080 after redirect all traffic on 8080.

Q: Photo location on IPhone 5s How can I determine the location a photo was taken on my iPhone 5s? I've tried the photo app on the phone but the information is too general.
A: At present, third party applications offer better access to photo metadata than the built-in Photos app on the iPhone.
For example, Photo Investigator, can show you the specific GPS co-ordinates recorded in the picture's meta-data. Photos contain GPS data that's only as accurate as your phone's GPS system happened to be at the time the photo was shot. For example, a Photo Investigator screen shot shows:
That gives you the latitude, longitude and altitude metadata. I'll caution that this is the exact same data that's used to show the pin for the photo in the Photos application. So it's not any more accurate, though it is text-based so you can use the co-ordinates in other mapping software like Google Maps or Google Earth if you don't like the way the location is rendered in the Maps app on your iPhone.

Q: Why can't I download iOS 7 on my iPhone 3Gs? I am unable to download iOS 7 on my iPhone 3Gs. Why? I have iOS 6.1.6 and if I want to download "Find My iPhone", it requires iOS 7. I've tried to search on what else I can do, but cannot figure it out. I also have about 10 GB of free memory out of 13 GB.
A: If you purchase an app (free in this case) before the app is upgraded to require the next OS version, you can get the latest compatible version for your device.
That sounds a bit awkward, so here's an example:
I have a 4th-gen iPod. It runs up to iOS 6.x. At one point I installed various Apple apps like Find My Phone/Friends.
I recently wiped it and set it up for wifey to use. She had, naturally, no apps in her new account so she cannot install Find My Friends.
I used my iTunes account to install Find My Friends and was able to get the last compatible version for my/her device. It will likely work until the server is updated and stops supporting older versions.
| Q: Why can't I download iOS 7 on my iPhone 3Gs? I am unable to download iOS 7 on my iPhone 3Gs. Why? I have iOS 6.1.6 and if I want to download "Find My iPhone", it requires iOS 7. I've tried to search on what else I can do, but cannot figure it out. I also have about 10 GB of free memory out of 13 GB.
A: If you purchase an app (free in this case) before the app is upgraded to require the next OS version, you can get the latest compatible version for your device.

A: You cannot download it because iOS 7 is not supported on any iPhone model prior to the iPhone 4. The latest version of iOS that will run on the 3Gs is iOS 6.1.6 -- which you have.
Here's a fantastic compatibility chart for iOS 7:
Source: http://cdn.theapplelounge.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/iOS-7-Comparison-Chart-definitivo-1.jpg
Note the complete absence of the iPhone 3G and 3GS models.
A: Apple has a work around for older devices.
Download the latest app to your computer with iTunes.
Then log into the store with your device and select purchased.
Find the app(s) for iOS7 you downloaded to iTunes and then select install. If an older version (i.e. iOS6) is available it will download.
A: I have recently bought an iPhone 5 from Tmobile and before that I had a 3gs. The 5 wasn't working properly, so I took it back to Tmobile to get my 3gs back again. The man at the counter transferred everything to my old iPhone, and along with it, came iOS 7. I'm writing this to say it can be done, but with a lot of hassle, a waste of money, and a lot of stupidity.

Q: Is it possible to see a who has purchased an app in the iTunes Connect financial report? Our company requires to book every sale we make in our SAP system against a customer name. So when we publish the apps under our developer license, we will need the information of each customer who bought the app.
Is there a way Apple will give me detailed information?
A: No. The only way to get the name of someone who's purchased your app is to request it from the user when they open the app.

Q: How to delete my account on icloud.com? In my case, I do not want to use iCloud anymore. So I don't want to sync notes, calendar, pics across my Apple devices, and access them through the web (i.e., icloud.com).
So, how I can close/delete my entire iCloud account, associated with my Apple ID? I just want to use my AppleID for the App store.
A: You can't remove iCloud from your Apple ID. The best you can do is clear information from it and not enable the iCloud services on your devices.

A: Go to the iCloud preferences and uncheck any of the iCloud services you no longer wish to use.
Do this for all your iCloud enabled devices.
The account will still exist, but will no longer be used.

Q: How to get 'favorites' to display in finder...? I used to have several favorites in the sidebar of the finder window, but today they are gone.
I cannot drag folders into the sidebar, and I can't display the ones available to choose from in Finder > Preferences. WTF?
Here's a little screen capture of it misbehaving:
A: The first thing to try is to make a new user account and then see if the finder sidebar functions there.
If so, you can log out and delete that user account and then make a backup of the system. You'll want to delete the user preferences for Finder.
defaults delete com.apple.Finder
Then log out and back it to see if the finder sidebar is working.

Q: Can I make the trackpad tracking speed faster than allowed in System Preferences? The title says it all ... I have the trackpad speed on my Macbook Pro Retina 13" set to the max, but I'd like to try it faster. I recall some of these things can be configured by modifying ~/Library/*plist files or somesuch. Thanks in advance for any help.
A: Open up the terminal and type
defaults write -g com.apple.trackpad.scaling x
"x" being how much you want your mouse speed increased. "6" worked perfectly for me.
Simply log out and log back in and your setting will be changed!
Under System Preferences the trackpad speed will now be in the middle of its slow/fast options, and if you change it it will override your new changes.
Source was this guy: https://gist.github.com/brandonb927/3195465
Found this in line 328 of his code.
Hope it works for you as well as it did for me!

Q: Why is iPhone adding a '1' to my phone numbers when sending a text? I sent a text message to (123) 456-7890 and an error message immediately appeared to "use a valid 10-digit phone number" and showed the number I used with a 1 before the area code. I tried deleting the contact's number and re-entering it, but the same thing happened. Why is the phone adding a 1? I've searched through settings (and I did turn off international dialing help to no avail). Is this a setting issue or...?
A: The US telephone system use a #1 in front of USA area codes.
If you with in the same area then you do not need to dial it.
Even if you dial '1 in local calls it will be just ignored.
You phone automatically adds a #1 anyway so you do not forget it.
However if you are outside the area then #1 is needed in front of the number.
In modern days devices the #1 is hidden but it is dialed automatically.

In modern days devices the #1 is hidden but it is dialed automatically.
A: I was just able to duplicate this behavior sending a text to a number not in service.
The exact error message arrives as a text message from a network number and reads "1XXXYYYZZZZ Error Invalid Number. Please Re-send using a valid 10 digit mobile number or short code." (where XXXYYYZZZZ is the bad phone number).
It means either you are texting a number that is not a mobile, or "I'm sorry the number you have texted is not in service"
A: Texting with the international service if you bring an Iphone from the US you have to add #1 in front of the local 8 digit number. You can make a voice call by simply dialing the 8 digit number. I would suggest when placing new contacts in your phone to add a separate contact for voice and one for text.

Q: Can I turn off 2G support on my iPhone? From the commotion in the last several days/weeks I understood that a fake cell tower intending to play man-in-the-middle uses a 2G connection to avoid the authentication requirement (of the network towards the phone) that's part of 3G and up.I would like to avoid such MITM attacks by turning off the 2G support altogether. I can live with it if my iPhone only uses 3G/4G, and refuses any service when only 2G is available.I am using an iPhone 5S with IOS7.Is there any setting or app I can use for that? (Preferably without jail-breaking my phone, but I know that might be a stretch.)
Johan
A: Very simple; No way Apple will allow you to do this

Q: How to remove an icon from launchpad that does not appear in the Finder? I have moved an installer into the launchpad (uTorrent-Installer). The problem is that I would like to remove it now but as it is an installer it doesn't appear in "Applications" in the Finder. I can't right-click the icon to remove it nor can I drag and drop it into the trash.
Can I delete apps from launchpad?
A: If you are using Yosemite here is the surgical approach to remove only what you want to, instead of wiping out all of Launchpad.
Open up your Terminal app of choice, then use the following command:
sqlite3 $(find /private/var/folders \( -name com.apple.dock.launchpad -a -user $USER \) 2> /dev/null)/db/db "DELETE FROM apps WHERE title='APP_NAME_CASE_SENSITIVE';" && killall Dock
to remove an application from the Launchpad.

to remove an application from the Launchpad.
A: *
*open finder
*go to your home or root directory (Icon looks like a house, may have your name or the name of your mac on it)
*Open the applications folder located in that directory.
*Drag the offending icon to the trash
*Check Launchpad and watch it fade away
A: Drag the icon or icons to the dock, then right click the icon on dock, select "option" - "show in finder", system will open a window to show you where the app located, then you can just threw it/them to the Trash.
A: By default, Launchpad shows you all the apps installed on your Mac.
To remove a Mac App Store app that appears in Launchpad
Follow these steps while you are logged in with an administrator account:
*
*Enter Launchpad.
*Click and hold on an icon until you see all icons jiggle.
*Click the "x" button in the upper-left of the Mac App Store app icon you want to delete.
Note: If you do not see an "x" button, either the app is not from the Mac App Store or you are logged in as a standard user.
*Click "Delete" in the confirmation dialog to delete the app.
Tip: If you want to reinstall a deleted app, open Mac App Store, click the Purchases icon, then click on the "Install" button for the app.
This post is a shameless copy from: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4673
Check your Downloads folder
As you are talking about an installer, this might be located in your Downloads folder. If so, you need to remove it there.
Another way to delete an app from the launchpad:
*
*start your app from the launchpad
*right click you app in the Dock
*choose for 'options' -> 'Show in Finder'
*now you can also delete it
A: When an app has been uninstalled, often the icons are still in Launchpad. You still can not remove it. To remove click it and it will show with an question mark: drag it to the trash then.
A: macOS Sierra 10.12.3:
If it's a .dmg file:
*
*Eject it in desktop
*Delete it in finder
*Open it in launchpad: It will show "?" in the icon
*You can now drag and drop it to Trash
A: I noticed while trying to figure this out that some of the apps displayed in LaunchPad aren't MacOS apps at all- but Chrome extensions that I added to the browser.
To delete these, you can either:
1) Open a finder folder and enter (Shift+Command+H) to see the applications folder there- you can delete these items by dragging to the trash - or;
2) Load Chrome and going to settings/extensions and deleting them from the browser itself.
A: Check the Chrome Apps folder to see if the app you're trying to delete is showing up on Launcher but n ot in Application.
Your HDD> Users> [YOU]> Applications> Chrome Apps.
This worked for me, I hope it works for someone else.
A: For Sierra first run this:
sqlite3 $(sudo find /private/var/folders -name com.apple.dock.launchpad)/db/db "DELETE FROM apps WHERE title='APP_NAME_CASE_SENSITIVE';" && killall Dock
which will result in an "unable to open database file" error response. Copy the database file name which is within the begin and end double quotes in the error response.
Next run this:
sqlite3 PASTE_WHAT_YOU_COPIED/db/db "DELETE FROM apps WHERE title='APP_NAME_CASE_SENSITIVE';" && killall Dock
A: I had the same problem as you, but I fixed it with these steps (the app wasn't from the Mac App Store):
*
*Delete the app using Finder.
*Empty your trash.
*App will now have a question mark icon which you can drag to the trash.
A: Check both of your Applications folders — there is an OS application folder (Shift+Command+A) and there is a user-based Application folder which is in the users home folder (Shift+Command+H).
A: In difficult cases, you may need to have the Launchpad rebuilt from scratch. I had to do this when I found an app in my Launchpad that could not be opened "because it may be damaged or incomplete," but I was unable to find the app anywhere on my system.
This hack requires executing commands from the Darwin command line with the Terminal app. You can do some real damage in the command line if you're not experienced with it (sometimes even when you are experienced). If you still want to try this but you are at all hesitant about it, do as you would with any potentially dangerous operation and make sure you have a current backup of your system.
I really mean it when I say the Launchpad icons will be rebuilt from scratch. They will probably end up in completely different places than what you remember, which could be a hassle if you have spent a lot of time organizing them into folders or otherwise arranging them "just so."
*
*Open a terminal window.
*Enter cd ~/Library/Application\ Support/Dock.
*Enter ls.
*You should see a filename that looks something like 283F028F-D4F3-42D1-90E7-4337AEC50818.db (You may see other files ending with .db, but the important one will have a pattern like that.)
*Rename the file with the mv command. I like to copy-and-paste the filename, then add {,.backup} to the end of it, a little Bash trick. So in this example, I would use this command: mv 283F028F-D4F3-42D1-90E7-4337AEC50818.db{,.backup}.
*Enter killall Dock. Your desktop and icons will disappear momentarily, but don't panic. They should come back after a few seconds. (If they don't after a minute or so, you should be able to recover by logging out and back in.)
*Open Launchpad.
If you used the killall Dock command in step 6, the Launchpad should come up fairly quickly. If you had to log out and back in, you may have to wait a minute or so while watching a "Loading Applications…" message, then watching a grid of empty placeholder icons get filled in little by little. Either way, you should eventually see a cleanly reorganized Launchpad without any extraneous app icons.
A: I just get my Mac yesterday, and we have exactly the same problems.
I installed a virtual machine to run Windows and then I deleted the program. However, there is a folder called "Windows 8 tools" left in the launchpad. I couldn't drag it to the trashcan nor could I right click it to delete.
Then I just dragged it to the dock, right click it, and choose Options-show in the folder. I dragged the program to the trash and deleted it.
A: If you have an application that does not 'jiggle' when you try to delete it - go to Finder, click on Applications, find the app, right press on your Apple mouse, and click 'moved to trash'. A window will open up saying.....before you delete....IGNORE IT! Go to Waste and empty it! Go back to your LaunchPad.....and the app is no longer there....it's gone!
A: I had uninstalled an application but the icon still appeared in the launchpad. What removed the icon was to try to launch the application by choosing the icon (see LexS). Of course nothing launched because the application was already uninstalled. When I brought up the launchpad again there was a "?" on the icon. When I chose and held the mouse on the application the "X" appeared. Select the "X" and it's gone.
A: i just using cleanymac to complete uninstalling deleted program thats still showing in launchpad.
A: Press Cmd ⌘ Shift ⇧ H in Applications (Finder), then just drag the items to the Trash.
A: Press control+option+command+application icon in launchpad

Q: Caps lock remap release delay I'm trying to remap the caps lock key of a wireless aluminum Apple keyboard and am having a delay on release (not activation). That is to say, if I hold down the caps lock key after remapping, it will act like the key is pressed for a short period even after I release it. The longer the key is held, the longer this behavior happens.
I'm trying to remap it to ctrl but have the same problem with cmd.
I've found a lot of posts talking about an activation delay, but this is different than my problem.
I've tried the built in remapping as well as Seil, and both have the same problem.
A: You can achieve this with Keyboard Maestro, or probably an alternative.
*
*Disable Caps Lock in System Preferences > Keyboard > Keyboard > Modifier Keys
*Create a Keyboard Maestro macro that is triggered by "This device key:" and set it to trigger when the Caps Lock key is released.
*Add whatever action you want to remap it to—if I understand your question correctly, you'd want to add "Type Modifiers" and set it to Control.

Error: Failed to update tap: homebrew/versions
Already up-to-date.
A: If you are using OSX High Sierra chown operation is not permitted in /usr/local/ in this case use:
sudo chown -R $(whoami) /usr/local/Homebrew/
A: I managed to fix this error by fixing the user owner of the /usr/local folder from 504 to Administrator (the user id I am using when I log in to macbook pro terminal).
This was achieved by using this command :
sudo chown -R $USER:admin /usr/local
A: sudo chown -R $(whoami):admin /usr/local && sudo chmod -R g+rwx /usr/local

Q: How is the Apple Watch connected to the Internet? The Apple Watch uses the Internet for a lot of things : Siri answers, sending messages...
But how is the Apple Watch connected to the Internet ?
I have searched a bit, to no avail. This information must be too technical. ;-)
A: From the "Apple Watch User Guide"
Apple Watch uses Bluetooth® wireless technology to connect to its paired iPhone and uses the iPhone for many wireless functions. Apple Watch can’t configure new Wi-Fi networks on its own, but it can connect to Wi-Fi networks you’ve set up on the paired iPhone.
If your Apple Watch and iPhone are on the same network but aren’t connected by Bluetooth, you can also do the following on Apple Watch without iPhone:
*
*Send and receive messages using iMessage
*Send and receive Digital Touch messages
*Use Siri
The watch is using the Wi-Fi settings from you paired iPhone to access the internet. As stated above it can connect to networks you have set on the iPhone. The Bluetooth will connect to the phone and pass data back and forth.

A: Edit:
Apple published a webpage with the title:About Bluetooth and Wi-Fi on Apple Watch
Your Apple Watch uses Wi-Fi and Bluetooth to communicate with your paired >iPhone, switching between connections as needed:
*
*Your Apple Watch uses Bluetooth when your iPhone is near, which
conserves power.
*If Bluetooth isn’t available, Apple Watch will try
to use Wi-Fi. For example, if compatible Wi-Fi is available and your
iPhone isn't in Bluetooth range, Apple Watch uses Wi-Fi.
On this page you also can find information about the Compatible-Devices and how to check the Network on your Apple Watch.
Conclusion:
The Apple Watch power is limited by it's battery, so Apple uses Bluetooth only, if the iPhone is in range, because Bluetooth4.0 is Low Energy. If you are (e.g) on the toilet and your iPhone in the living room, the Apple Watch uses your WiFi (if present) and also is able to communicate with you Phone over WiFi.
First original answer by me. no specs where published by Apple at this time:
All signs pointing out that Apple Watch is connected via Bluetooth to your iPhone (5/5c/5s/6/6+) is required. Bluetooth, because the amount of Data isn't really high.
A: Apple's press release for the Apple Watch says:
Apple Watch also features Wi-Fi 802.11b/g and
Bluetooth 4.0 to pair seamlessly with your iPhone.
Though this doesn't precisely answer your question, it seems likely that the requirement for an iPhone indicates that the watch will only connect to the internet through the phone.
A: This article Apple Watch Likely Uses BCM4334 Broadcom Wi-Fi Chip shows the Apple Watch supports both Bluetooth and Wi-fi but only uses them to connect to the iPhone.
Update from WWDC 2015: "Apple Watch can now communicate directly with known Wi-Fi hotspots using the new Tetherless Wi-Fi feature in watchOS 2”:
A: I own an Apple Watch, and it prefers using a direct connection to its paired iPhone for Internet functions (ie., Bluetooth tether) when the iPhone is in range (due to lower power consumption than Wifi). However, the Apple Watch is capable of certain supported functions via direct Wifi connection to known networks (ie., previously used networks) like iMessage, Wifi calling if it's been setup on the paired iPhone, Siri queries, if the iPhone is out of Bluetooth range or turned off. This creates a unique problem in that when the Apple Watch is barely within Bluetooth range, Wifi call quality is extremely poor (and worse than via direct Wifi calling). I wish there was a way to change connection priority or tell it to use Wifi when Bluetooth strength is low. But I guess that's more user configurability than Apple typically allows.

Q: Open new Terminal tab in current working directory doesn't work In the Terminal preferences you can find an option to open new windows and tabs in the current working directory. Yet there's a message that says that programs notify Terminal about the current working directory using scape sequences, which I don't know what it means.
But the Terminal itself is not doing this, as I would like to create a new tab when I press Cmd ⌘ + T to open at the same working directory (not ~/).
I found this post but it doesn't address this. Here you have a figure with the options:
A: I have noticed that this kind of behaviour also reproduces, when having whitespaces in your hostname.
$ sudo scutil --set HostName 'no-whitespace-name' fixes this issue.

A: So I found the problem with the Terminal and I'm posting the answer hoping it can help others. The problem was in the definition of the PROMPT_COMMAND environmental variable. I changed its definition from
export PROMPT_COMMAND='history -n;'
to
export PROMPT_COMMAND="${PROMPT_COMMAND:+$PROMPT_COMMAND ;} history -n"
appending at the end of the existing PROMPT_COMMAND instead and this solved the problem.
A: Well Terminal will certainly open a new tab or window in the current directory if you are at the prompt in bash all things working well.
I'm running Terminal version 2.4 on 10.9.4 and it works perfectly for both new tabs and windows.
If it doesn't then something is upsetting things. Try moving your .profile, .bash_profile and .bashrc out of the way in case something in them is upsetting bash.
Once you've discovered which file is causing the problem then you can discover which part is the problem using a "halving method". Cut the file approximately in half and move that half back. That will tell you which half is doing it. Repeat with the cutting in half and moving until you have it down to a few lines or so you can then ask your question again.

Q: Can I remove user's home directory folders? I have the following scenario:
All of my files, documents etc. are saved on Copy.com.
I have installed copy on my MacBooc Air all my files went to the following directory:
/Users/username/Copy
/Users/username/Copy/Documents
/Users/username/Copy/Movies
/Users/username/Copy/Pictures
/Users/username/Copy/Music
/Users/username/Copy/Workspace
On my Mac's home folder, I want to replace the following folders with symlinks or aliases to the Copy ones:
/Users/username
/Users/username/Documents (alias to /Users/username/Copy/Documents)
/Users/username/Movies (alias to ...)
/Users/username/Pictures (alias to ...)
/Users/username/Music (alias to ...)
/Users/username/Workspace (alias to ...)
I have tried to delete a folder under /Users/username and Mac prompts:
“Documents” can’t be modified or deleted because it’s required by OS X.
I have done this scenario on Ubuntu, that's why I want it on MacBook Air, too.
A: Finder will prevent you from deleting the default directories, but Terminal won't. You can use rm -rf /path/to/directory to delete the folder then create the symlink normally.

Q: How to change filepath structure using automator (windows to mac)? I use a mac at work and people send me windows file paths all day. Does anyone know how to convert the filepath using applescript in an automator so I can right click in an email and then open it?
Windows path: \\Sfa66\devmrkdt$\Donor Relations\FY14\Events\Invitation\Email
Mac path: smb://Sfa66\devmrkdt$/Donor Relations/FY14/Events/Invitation/Email
This answer was so close How to translate between Windows and Mac -style file locations? but it won't work when there are blank spaces in the file path.
A: Blank spaces have to be escaped. To escape a special character, like a blank space, you use a forward slash, so " " will become "\ ".
You can modify the script, https://gist.github.com/2211017, link to from the post you linked to by adding the following line set mytext to searchReplace(mytext, " ", "\ ") after line 16.
...
15. set mytext to searchReplace(mytext, ">.", "")
16. set mytext to searchReplace(mytext, ">", "")
17. set mytext to searchReplace(mytext, " ", "\ ")
18. set findIt to "\\"
19. set replaceIt to "/"

Q: How to sort column by date in Numbers? I've my column in format dd/mm/yyyy and I would like to sort them by date. But I can't find any way of sorting the column by date. If I Sort Ascending, it doesn't recognise that the rows have the date formats. Any easy way of doing that?
A: Your dates might not be recognized as dates by Numbers.
In my case, Numbers does not offer dd/mm/yyyy as one of the standard date format and I have to define a custom format for that pattern. (Not sure, if that applies in your case: The date must be entered according to your locale settings - I can set "dd/mm/yyyy" as the date format, but I have to enter it as "dd.mm.yyyy" on my German system.)
Using the sort & filter window then works well on the formatted dates.

Q: Calling an app from the terminal via script I try to call an application from the console and pass it an argument. This is the script I am using:
#!/bin/sh
open -a "/Applications/MyApp.app/" $1
Somehow the OS is unhappy with this and complains:
FSPathMakeRef(/Applications/MyApp.app) failed with error -43.
What can I do?
A: That looks like /Applications/MyApp.app doesn't actually exist.
You can test for that in your script, perhaps like this:
#!/bin/sh
APP=/Applications/MyApp.app
if [ ! -d "$APP" ]; then
echo >&2 "$0: $APP not found."
exit 1
fi
exec open -a "$APP" "$@"

Q: How to uninstall NTFS-free? I'm a pc user that started using OS X a while ago.
I installed ntfs-free to be able to write in my external NTFS devices and it worked fine, but with the last OS X update it stopped working.
In order to directly use the built-in OS X driver for NTFS partitions I want to uninstall ntfs-free because I'm afraid it is preventing the driver to run.
As far as I know there is no program or library deleting app or functionality in OS X, so how can I do this?
A: Here's the official uninstall script:
#!/bin/sh
sudo rm -R /System/Library/Extensions/ntfs-free.kext
sudo rm -R /sbin/mount_ntfs-free
sudo rm -R /System/Library/Filesystems/ntfs-free.fs

Q: How can I access my scanner directly without going through System Preferences? Since my printer has scanning capabilities, the Printers & Scanners pane in System Preferences has the "Scan" tab available.
This is the only known place to start and scan one's document.
I am looking for a quicker way to access my printer scanning window.
searches for AppleScript and Automator solutions did not helped me.
Am I that bad a searching? The smallest hint will be appreciated.
A: The Image Capture application can do this for you. Just connect your printer and launch the application. It comes with OS X.
Image borrowed from: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4505. You can also find instructions there under the heading How to scan.

A: Preview.app has some built-in scanning functionality you might try.
Open up the program, then go to File / Import from <Your Scanner>... if your computer finds any nearby scanners (attached via usb or over a network should both work).
A: I know this is an old question, but I found a pretty easy way to access the scanner without going through System Preferences every time.
*
*Find the printer via System Preferences->Printers & Scanners, and click Open Print Queue... This should open a new window for the printer.
*Right-click (or Cmd-click) on the title bar of the print queue window. Select the Printers option. This will open the hidden Printers folder in Finder.
*From here you should be able to see the app for the printer. Hold down Cmd and Alt while dragging the app to create a shortcut anywhere you want (I put mine in the Applications folder), and now you can use the shortcut to open the print queue window directly without going through System Preferences. Then just click the Scanner button to scan a document.
Hope this helps!

Q: Website embedded video stream in VLC Sometims I’m watching live events on websites that have an embedded flash video player.
Is it possible to take the stream to a native player such as VLC?
If so, what would be the steps?
A: Open the web inspector and look in the resource list for the active network connection (indicated by the spinning pinwheel next to the resource) as this is usually the stream file.
Clicking the resource will show the Full URL under the Location section of the resource inspector. This URL can be added in VLC.
Note that some URLs won't be able to be played in VLC due to licensing restrictions.

Q: Seeing All Icons on the Menu Bar I currently have the following icons on the status bar. However, I have other applications running, specifically OneDrive, which I believe it is supposed to show an icon.
Does the status bar show all icons (of the apps running that would choose to have one) by default? If not, is there any way to either force it to show all icons or choose which ones to show?
I have tried re-running OneDrive and I confident it used to have one. I can see it running on my activity monitor, but I don't see the icon anymore (even after restarting the computer)
A: As others have explained the menu space is limited.
But you may not need a couple of the ones you have in there so you could try and remove them to see if that gives you the room.
ExpressCard ,Timemachine, Bluetooth,Keyboard input.
Since they are Menu Extras you can hold down the cmd key, click each menu item and drag away from the menu bar and release them to puff away.
Or use the items preferences to do the same.( not sure the ExpressCard has one)
| Q: Seeing All Icons on the Menu Bar I currently have the following icons on the status bar. However, I have other applications running, specifically OneDrive, which I believe it is supposed to show an icon.
Does the status bar show all icons (of the apps running that would choose to have one) by default? If not, is there any way to either force it to show all icons or choose which ones to show?

A: AccessMenuBar solves that problem.
A: It is possible to use BetterTouchTool for that purpose. For example:
A: *
*Finder has a relatively short app menu, so activating Finder is a quick way to see more menu bar icons. (And the built-in Maps app has an even shorter app menu.)
*Bartender collapses the menu bar items into a submenu, which will let you see more of them (without being hidden by app menus).
A: App menus take precedence over menu bar items. In this case, whatever your foreground app is, it's menu options are too long, causing Window and Help to hide the menu bar items that would otherwise occupy that space. To see more menu bar items, use an app with a shorter menu list, or increase your screen resolution.

Q: iOS "stuck" while erasing I recently decided to start off with a fresh install of iOS due to my springboard crashing often and everything being messed up. I went to Settings > General > Reset to reset the device, and it started out OK. Currently, it's been sitting with the spinner icon (The one you get when you power down) for over half an hour with no progress. Is this normal? If not, what should I do? I have an iPhone 5s, 32 GB storage, but only about 6 GB is actually used. The spinner icon isn't frozen, it's still moving.
A: This should not happen. What you can do is, press and hold the home and power key for 10 seconds. The device will enter recovery mode and now you can connect to itunes and install the iOS operating system from scratch.

A: Reset would erase all data and settings on iPhone, if you have important data and don't want to lose it, you should backup your iPhone before reset. Reset may solve the stuck problem but here i want to recommend another easy and free tool called ReiBoot to fix iPhone stuck problems. You can get the tool from google by searching with "reiboot".
A: I sense you have a jailbroken iOS device. If your device is jailbroken, then you cannot reset it using the method you used. You have to download the latest iOS firmware version for your device on computer and restore it using iTunes.
It will provide you a complete fresh start. However, before removing anything, make sure to take a backup of your device.
A: You might want to put your iPhone into recovery mode using RecBoot and then kick it out should help resolve the issue.
A: Something went wrong and you can fix it easily. you can try entering into recovery mode and there is a little tool names recboot and you can download recboot. You can download it for almost all operating systems. This application is a life saver as it can help you get in and out of recovery mode easily without any issues.

Q: How to "chroot" a terminal inside a DMG? I'm doing security research and for that purpose I use an SHA-2 encrypted DMG to store the tools and files I work with (containing confidential client info), to protect them from forensic examination of my hard drive.
Thinking further, I'd like to know how (if possible) I could open a shell environment inside this mounted DMG, so my .bash_history, .ssh/config and keys and an ./sbin/ binaries folder are available from a shell but only when the DMG is mounted to protect the info they contain. I also hope to make it portable from mac to mac, with my tool and my key, on any mac on which I open the DMG.
Any idea on how to do that?
A: Indeed what I wanted to do is over complicated. A VM is a better option.

Q: Swipe between pages button equivalent I currently have an external, non-mac, mouse attached to my MacBook Pro. It has extra buttons that you can assign macros to, for instance I assigned the 'move left/right a space' to two of the buttons, which the keys are listed in Mission Control on system preferences. However, I also want to assign the 'Swipe between pages' trackpad function, whereby I swipe left and right, however I cannot find the keys that enable me to do this and hence cannot define a macro for the mouse.
What are the keys-equivalent of swiping between pages?
A: There is no universal shortcut. In Safari, two finger swipe functions as Back-/Forward (CMD + ←|→). In Preview, it's Left/Right Page (←|→). Using keyboard shortcuts doesn't give you the nice transitional effects.
You can use BetterTouchTool. It allows you to bind mouse buttons to keyboard shortcuts, either globally or on per-app basis.

Q: Does memory size increase the weight of the iPhone 6 Plus? Are the 16, 32 and 64GB models the same weight or does increased memory increase the weight?
A: As a general answer normally an increase in memory capacity of that order won't have a significant effect on weight. I'm not sure exactly what memory chips Apple use in the iPhone 6 Plus but 16GB is in the realm where a single chip can be used. As an example a TSSOP-56 package is pretty common for FLASH memory and if you read a typical Package Material Disclosure the total maximum weight is 221 milligrams each.
If they added an additional three and you allowed a little extra for solder it would still come in under a gram. So when Apple don't list a seperate weight based on memory capacity they probably either use higher density FLASH or don't consider the weight significant enough to list.

A: According to Apple the iPhone 6 Plus weights 6.07 ounces (172 grams). There is no mention of weight differences depending on memory size.
A: My iphones do feel like larger memory is significantly heavier. We have iphone 6 64GB and 128GB. We also just got iphone 7 plus 128GB and 256GB.
I'm surprised why no one reports this difference in weight.(I just spent an hour googling this, so many iphone reviews and discussions but nothing about this issue.. I just don't get it why my wife's phone is lighter..)

Q: Keyboard maestro: Defining "if app active" macros In Keyboard Maestro, is there any way to define a macro that is triggered when two conditions are true?
*
*A certain application is active (i.e. on focus)
*A hot key is activated (i.e. I press a key)
I have tried adding conditions, but they are interpreted with an OR and not with an AND.
Below is an example of what I tried:
A: To define Keyboard Maestro macros only active in specific applications you need to define a new Macro Group (left most column in the Keyboard Maestro Editor) and select the application(s) on group level.

Q: Prompt for encrypted disk password on startup I enabled the full disk encryption or at least I think so. The HD shows up as "Encrypted Logical Partition" in Disk Utility.
When I boot up the macbook however I can choose between logging in as Andreas Bonini - with my user account password - or entering the disk password.
If I choose the former option, I am never asked for the disk password.
This is not what I had in mind -- I wanted something like TrueCrypt, where everything on the disk is encrypted and the only way to access it is entering the disk password; the macbook shouldn't even be able to know what user accounts if any are present before unlocking the disk.
My user account password is obviously considerably less secure than the disk password.
A: You can remove yourself from being able to unlock the disk:
sudo fdesetup remove -user username

Q: Save As in MS Office for Mac to a different location I have Office for Mac 2011 which seems to work OK. However if I open a file from one location and wish to do Save As.. to another location, all I get is the basic list of where I can save, but seemingly no opportunity to drill down into sub-folders etc. For instance in the screen shot the location Kingston is an external usb drive with multiple folders and sub folders, but if I click on that, it puts that into the Where box and the document is saved in the root of that. Any ideas please, Gurus?
A: Click on the down arrow button next to the file name you specify. You should get a window to select the location where you want to save the file.

A: If you click on the little triangle to the right of the Save As box it will open more detailed window to choose where to save it. OS X has both a simple and expanded Save dialog and applications can choose to show one or the other as the default Save dialog. Looks like MS Office defaults to the simplified view.

A: Medical ID in the Health app
It creates a summary of all your medical details (age, blood type, allergies, known conditions, etc.) as well as a list of emergency contacts, and can be accessed from the lock screen. Once there's enough uptake that medical professionals know to look for it, it could be a life saver.
A: Battery usage
iOS8 finally allows us to see what app is sucking up all out battery - it even shows stock apps!
General > Usage > Battery Usage
A: Request desktop sites in Safari
"Tap on the URL / search bar (as though you were leaving the current website) and then drag down to expose the "request desktop site" option."
via: http://www.theverge.com/2014/9/17/6237271/best-ios-8-features-you-may-not-know-about
A: Find My iPhone will display the last 'known' location of your iPhone for 24 hours from the last update it receives. Which is handy if you lose your phone and the battery dies.
A: See every attachment from every conversation
"The new "details" section of Messages...you can now review all of the attachments that have been exchanged in each of your conversations on a single screen. You'll see both images and videos you've sent as well as those received. And the archive goes back a long way — assuming you haven't previously deleted your message history. But if you do need to free up space, the details view makes it even easier because you can just tap and hold on any attachment to erase it from your device (and iCloud backups, where all those meme photos can eat up storage space.)"
via: http://www.theverge.com/2014/9/17/6237271/best-ios-8-features-you-may-not-know-about
A: Web browser within apps now have access to the same JavaScript 'nitro' engine which means sites loaded within apps now load as fast as they do natively within Safari.app
In iOS7 and prior in-app browsers were noticeably much slower.
source: http://9to5mac.com/2014/06/03/ios-8-webkit-changes-finally-allow-all-apps-to-have-the-same-performance-as-safari/
A: Select a word with the keyboard suggestion box active. Tap shift and it will suggest title case. Hold down shift and it will capitalize the entire word.
via: https://imgur.com/a/Bi4nE
A: Deleted Photos
I don't know about you, but I'm very careless when looking for free space for a new app, or something, and I can go on a deleting rampage! It's nice to know iOS8 has the deleted pictures album until 30 days later in case I need it:
Photos > Albums > Recently Deleted
A: Being able to swipe right-to-left on a message on the lock screen and reply to it is proving useful for me as is tapping on them to reply when the notification slides down when using the phone.
I'm also liking being able to do a long swipe right-to-left to delete an e-mail.
A: Handoff and airdrop between devices is a game-changer for me. Both of these combine to let me be more efficient whether I'm working on an iPhone or an iPad. Both will become incredibly more powerful when Yosemite ships for Macintosh.
Now I can ditch complexity in many of the instances when I previously used a clipboard sharing service or bookmarking service so I could get a link or a document to the correct device to finish the task at hand.
A: Swipe down on the top of a new email and you can view your mailbox while keeping the new/draft email open. You can actually do this for multiple messages and Mail presents a safari-tab-like window to choose between open windows. Game changer for multi-tasking between in-progress email messages.

Q: How to close multiple tabs in safari iOS 8 I just updated my iPhone to iOS 8, and after some minuts I ran into a problem.. 10+ open tabs in safari and I want to close them all at once. On iOS 7 I used to press the "private browse mode" and it would ask "Want to close all tabs?" Now it just goes into private browsing mode, without asking.
So is it possible to close all tabs at once?
A: The only (very slow and clumsy) solution at the moment is to clear your Safari browsing history via the settings. At the moment there is no other way to close all tabs at once.

A: Another thing I've found is to use multiple fingers to push as many x's on the corners of the windows as I can simultaneously. This still isn't as handy as the close all button was.
A: in Safari iOS 10 you can close all tabs by holding down the tab button
https://www.igeeksblog.com/how-to-close-all-safari-tabs-at-once-in-ios-10/
A: You can swipe tabs to left. Not all at once, but still quicker
A: If you are using a Mac and have iCloud configured you can open Safari on your Mac and choose "View" -> "Show All Tabs". Now you'll see all open tabs on your iPhone and can quickly click on the "x" to close a tab on your phone.
A: Go to the icon at top right of screen (when on Safari)it is like one oblong on top of another tap it and the screen will shrink, you will then see the close cross on top left hand corner,tap this cross,and bingo job done.

Q: Where can I find the installed package path via brew I installed some packages via brew. But I can not find where they are.
I can not get access by typing hping on terminal
% brew install hping
(git)-[master]
Warning: hping-3.20051105 already installed
A: To figure out where your formula is installed, do
brew --prefix hping
You can also relink your hping binary by doing brew unlink hping && brew link hping
Also maybe your $PATH is not well defined. Does the list given by echo $PATH contains the result given by echo $(brew --prefix)'/bin:'$(brew --prefix)'/sbin'? This path should be toward the beginning of the list to be prioritized over system binaries, surely before /usr/bin.
To do so, you can add this at the end of your ~/.zshrc or ~/.bashrc:
export PATH=$(brew --prefix)/bin:$(brew --prefix)/sbin:$PATH
As a result, after opening a new terminal or doing source ~/.zshrc, you'll be able to echo your correct path as:
$ echo $PATH
/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin

A: To find your base installation directory for Homebrew, use one of the following commands:
brew --prefix
brew --cellar
The latter specifically returns the path of your Cellar folder.
A: Inspired by @RubenLaguna, I came up with this to get the full path to the installed version of the default formula.
As shown in previous answers, to get the install path for a formula:
brew --prefix nmap
Returns a symlink to the install path:
/usr/local/opt/nmap
To expand the full path:
readlink -f $(brew --prefix nmap)
/usr/local/Cellar/nmap/7.92
A: The /usr/local/Cellar directory is the default location on OS X. You'll see sub-directories in there for all your installed formulae.
A: I couldn't find any direct CLI option in brew to get the full path to the currently installed version of a formula but this would work as long as you are using bash:
echo $(brew --cellar asciidoctor)/$(brew info --json asciidoctor | jq -r '.[0].installed[0].version')
# /usr/local/Cellar/asciidoctor/1.5.8
A: Use the following to show the installation path of a package:
brew info hping

Poured from bottle
From: https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew/blob/master/Library/Formula/pcre.rb
==> Options
--universal
Build a universal binary
A: Try this command
brew --cellar <FORMULA>
e.g.
brew --cellar hping
A: Normally, homebrew installs packages into /usr/local/bin. So you need to check that your PATH contains that directory, like this:
echo $PATH
Also, try running
brew doctor
to make sure your setup is correct. If /usr/local/bin is not in your PATH, you need to edit ~/.profile and add a line like this:
export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/bin
Then start a new Terminal (in order to re-read your login profile) and try again.
If all that fails, it must be installed somewhere else. You can search for it by running a command like this:
sudo find / -name hping -type f
A: I recommend adding the following line to your ~/.bash_profile (or the equivalent configuration file if you are using a different shell):
export HOMEBREW_CASK_OPTS="--appdir=/Applications"
A: hping requires root privileges to run.
You probably need to add /usr/local/sbin to your PATH.
When I ran brew doctor:
Warning: Homebrew's sbin was not found in your PATH but you have installed
formulae that put executables in /usr/local/sbin.
Consider setting the PATH for example like so
echo 'export PATH="/usr/local/sbin:$PATH"' >> ~/.bash_profile
A:
I installed some packages via brew. But I can not find where they are.
It seems that homebrew requires one to be explicit with things. Fortunately, a bit of escaping using brew --prefix can make this a no-brainer, for those who need to find the path for the pkg-config utility, e.g.
PKG_CONFIG_PATH=`brew --prefix hping`/lib/pkgconfig/ pkg-config --cflags hping
(Except this isn't going to work anyway, because it seems hping doesn't come with hping.pc .. although, in the case where package maintainers do put .pc files, this trick can be useful.)
A: If someone looking for real path of package:
In my case brew --cellar opencv3 gives /usr/local/Cellar/opencv
But find /usr/local/Cellar/ -type d -name "*opencv*" -maxdepth 1 gives
/usr/local/Cellar//opencv3(which is /usr/local/Cellar/opencv3 actually).
Headers:
/usr/local/Cellar/opencv3/3.4.1_1/include/
Libs:
/usr/local/Cellar/opencv3/3.4.1_1/lib/
A: For anyone that lands here after googling, and/or for anyone who wants a list of packages that are installed as keg only, you can get this info from the brew JSON output.
List all installed packages:
brew info --json --installed
List keg only packages (jq tool required):
brew info --json --installed | jq -r '.[] | select(.keg_only == true) | .name'
List the path for keg only packages (again, jq tool required):
brew info --json --installed | jq -r '.[] | select(.keg_only == true) | .name' | while read name; do brew --prefix $name; done
A: The real path to the directory containing versioned directories of the formula
brew --cellar <FORMULA>
Example
% brew --cellar spdlog
/usr/local/Cellar/spdlog
Symlink to the current version of the formula (shorter)
This is what you want most of the time.
brew --prefix <FORMULA>
Example
% brew --prefix spdlog
/usr/local/opt/spdlog
A: brew list opencv
Output like this:
/usr/local/Cellar/opencv/4.5.2_4/bin/opencv_annotation
/usr/local/Cellar/opencv/4.5.2_4/bin/opencv_interactive-calibration
/usr/local/Cellar/opencv/4.5.2_4/bin/opencv_model_diagnostics
...
My brew version:

Q: How make snoozing iphone alarm go away for today? Very often by the time I get tothe phone it's lock screen is already on and black so when i wake it up the alarm goes to snooze and i have not found any way to disable the alarm for today unless I go to the alarm settings and switch it off and on again.
A: As you already know, if you unlock your phone while the alarm is going off, the alarm is acknowledged and won't sound again until the next day.
If the alarm is snoozing, it seems that the only way to prevent it from going off again is to manually turn it off (and on) again. The only help I can offer is recommending that you unlock the phone by sliding the clock icon where it says "Snoozing" on the lock screen, as that will at least take you directly to the alarms menu.
I imagine that they have this obstinate functionality because people might use alarms for other purposes than waking up, and they might be using their phones for other things and perhaps don't see the alarm.

A: Everybody is missing the point. He said that, by the time he got to the phone, it was already black. Swiping doesn't work. Hitting buttons doesn't work. I know. It happens to me. The one thing you can do is to tell Siri to turn off all your alarms. That works 9 out of 10 times for me, but sometimes it doesn't. I think it would be nice if the phone didn't go black so fast. Then you could pick it up and swipe to the right.
A: Instead of swiping the snooze to the right like you would if unlocking, swipe to the left, then push the x. Done
Before swiping, the screen will look like this:
After swiping left on the "Snoozing" message, you should see:
Clicking on the small cross should then cancel the alarm.
A: Try restarting the phone. It worked for me. All thought it's a year later lol
A: Just activate it with the home button then you can slide then lock the phone

Q: Where does homebrew download software from? I love how homebrew makes my life easier! Though, I just realized that I don't really know who is "signing off" the stuff I get installed through it. So, I ask:
*
*Is there a central repo (like Linux distro PPAs)?
*Or is it all decentralized (ie. code gets downloaded simultaneously from Github, Source Forge, etc)?
*What mechanisms are in place to prevent trojan horses from being
installed through brew?
A: If you look at the details of a homebrew package (e.g. on http://braumeister.org), you'll find the address of the source code in the ruby script. So it is not stored in a centralized manner but directly on GitHub etc.
Anyone can submit a package to be installed and the maintainers either accept / modify / reject hosting the software in the main directory.
However, it’s easy to set up your own directory and tap that and then install anything you want using the homebrew scripts and tools. It’s pretty open to change if you want to add to it.

Q: How can I tell when Finder is done searching? I don't see any progress indicator, and the title of the window says:
Searching "[Directory]"
Is there supposed to be something that happens to let me know when the search is complete? On some large directories (tens of thousands of files in hundreds of sub-directories) I know the search isn't complete, because it hasn't found files that I know are there, and I usually give up before it finds them. So on a directory with less files it is rather concerning to see no indication if the search is done yet or not, especially when nothing has been found that I hope will be found, but am not sure if will.
A: Yes you can. Turn on the status bar: View > Show Status Bar.
There you can see whether the Mac is searching.

Q: Can Soundflower route audio into Facetime? I have successfully routed my built-in microphone's audio to a Google Hangout through AU Lab via Soundflower, and want to do the same with Facetime. Using the same settings as with the Google Hangout seem to be unsuccessful. The setup for Hangouts is as follows:
*
*AU Lab document with Built-in Microphone being routed to 'Soundflower 2ch'
*In Google Hangout settings, setting the "Microphone" field to 'Soundflower 2ch'
*In System Preferences, setting Output tab to the default (Headphones / Built-in Output).
This does the trick for Hangouts, but Facetime doesn't appear to be picking up audio from Soundflower. Would there be a reason for this? Does Facetime not interact with system audio in the same way?
I am on the Mid-2014 model MBP with OSX 9.4, Soundflower 1.6.6, AU Lab 2.2.2, and the most recent Facetime.

Q: A way for the Command+TAB app switcher to continuously cycle instead of stop at the end Is there anyway to have the Command+TAB app switcher continuously cycle instead of stop at the end when you hold down command and tab like it did pre Mavericks?
A: Even as early as Lion, command+tab when held continuously stops at the end and does not cycle. Releasing the tab key and then pressing it again resets the cycle to the beginning. It is not necessary to release command. Releasing taband then pressing shift+tab will reverse scroll through the app listing.
To the very best of my knowledge, this behaviour is hardcoded and not configurable by the end user.

Q: How to display the current mapping for keyboard shortcuts in realtime? Is there an app / script which will listen for keyboard events and display the action that is triggered?
I use Better Touch Tool, and want to run a script on Cmd+F1 but I got the message:
The key combination "Command + F1" can't be used because it's already used by a system-wide keyboard shortcut. (If you really want to use this key combination, most shortcuts can be changed in the Keyboard & Mouse panel in System Preferences.)
I couldn't find the triggered action until I did a text search on http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1343, and now I'm curious!
In Sublime Text, it's possible to open Sublime's python terminal and sublime.log_commands(True) to log commands triggered as the keys are pressed… is there something similar for system wide key events?
A: This program shows all keyboard shortcuts that use the ⌘ (command) key, just by pressing and holding command.
http://www.cheatsheetapp.com/CheatSheet/
It does not show shortcuts that do not include command, but is quick and easy to use.

A: I use KeyCue. It's similar to @avv's recommendation but more customisable.
A: Woohoo! After some more looking, I've found https://pqrs.org/osx/karabiner/ which does everything I want! Please let me know if there's a lighter-weight alternative…
To see keyboard events using Karabiner:
*
*open the app
*enable Karabiner under System Prefs > Accessibility
*(maybe restart the AX notifier)
*click the icon in the menu bar (near the time)
*select Launch EventViewer
The event viewer will show a log of events like:
eventType:FlagsChanged code:0x37 name:Command_L flags:Cmd misc:KeyCode::COMMAND_L characters:
eventType:FlagsChanged code:0x37 name:Command_L flags: misc:KeyCode::COMMAND_L characters:
eventType:SysKeyDown code:0x1 name: flags: misc:ConsumerKeyCode::VOLUME_DOWN
eventType:SysKeyUp code:0x1 name: flags: misc:ConsumerKeyCode::VOLUME_DOWN
eventType:SysKeyDown code:0x0 name: flags: misc:ConsumerKeyCode::VOLUME_UP
eventType:SysKeyUp code:0x0 name: flags: misc:ConsumerKeyCode::VOLUME_UP
(scroll right to see the flags)
It may be useful to click the Preferences tab in EventViewer to 'always show on top' and uncheck 'hide ignorable events'.

Q: Moving file between disks in Mac OS X? Is there any way so when I drag and drop a file from one disk(A) to another disk(B) the files are moved instead of copied? I have a mac book pro and a mac pro(old cool one) and when I drag and drop files they get copied instead of moved. So could I do some automate script or terminal command to enable move files from disk to disk instead of coping them?
A: Hold the "Command" key down, not the "option" key, while dragging your file between hard drives. You will know that you have done it correctly because the progress bar will say "moving" instead of "copying"

To keep an item in its original location and put a copy in a folder: Press and hold the Option key, then drag the item to the folder.
In older macOS releases, you could press the option key to change the behaviour

Q: Terminal command `screen` will not split windows vertically Macs come with screen natively installed, but I seem to have a problem with mine. After running screen and creating another window (ctrl+a, c), the split command (ctrl+a, |) won't do anything. Normally it's suppose to split the terminal vertically into two separate windows (typically used to edit and test in one terminal window).
Any suggestions?
A: I think what you want is to ctrla,shifts (split first), and then ctrla,tab to switch to the new region. Now you can ctrla,c to create a new shell in that new region.
If you want vertical split, be sure to check the version of screen that you're running. According to this Unix SE answer, vertical split is NOT a default feature and needs to be patched in.
The TL;DR of it is: you'll need to download and compile a new screen command with the appropriate patch (or at least a newer version if the patch has been merged into the main project).

Q: To change default map application in iPhone Apple Maps are very inaccurate. They costs my time and money when I use them by accident.
I want to change the default app to Google Maps.
How can you change the default Map application in the newest iOS to Google Maps?
I really would like to delete the Apple Maps from my phone.
A: You can't change the default app. Some apps give you the option to choose which app to open maps/directions in, but this varies per app and app developer. There is no system toggle and Safari/Siri/etc will continue to open maps in Maps.

A: As of iOS 10 you can delete the iPhone maps application. If you click on a Google Calendar destination, you will then get a message saying the Maps app is missing. Ignore that message. Hold down a finger on the address, select copy, open Google Maps and paste the address you just copied. This saves a few key strokes and it works.
A: Map links from Google Applications in iOS should open in Google Maps: Chrome, Gmail, etc.

Q: How can I remove the launchpad? I don't use the launchpad, especially as it has a lot of useless apps in there that you can't delete either. For things like the dock and the dashboard I found guides online on how to remove them, but none for launchpad. Is it possible to remove launchpad completely (on OS X 10.9.4)?
A: It is not possible to remove it but you can disable it.
In order to do so you need to:
*
*Go into System Preferences then under Trackpad and More Gestures you
can disable pinch to launchpad
*Remove it from the dock
*Use FunctionFlip to reassign the F4 key to something else

*
*Go into System Preferences then under Trackpad and More Gestures you
can disable pinch to launchpad
*Remove it from the dock
*Use FunctionFlip to reassign the F4 key to something else
A: It should not be removed since it is a part of the OS.
At best you can completely empty it and remove from Dock.
There is a way to empty Launchpad completely—removing even Apple's
own apps. The crux of this trick is wiping out the contents of the
database Lion uses to know what goes where in Launchpad. To do so,
launch Terminal (which, as always, is in /Applications/Utilities) and
paste in this sequence of commands at the command line:
sqlite3 ~/Library/Application\ Support/Dock/*.db "DELETE from apps; DELETE from groups WHERE title<>''; DELETE from items WHERE rowid>2;"; Killall Dock
Please do not be tempted to use the brute force Terminal command like the rm , since it can produce undesired results (more problems then gain) Specialy the rm- rf is dangerous (the f) would ignore any warnings and just irreversibly delete the file. As you can see there is a Warning about "do not delete" as it is required by your OS.
A: Exactly what do you want to do? You can remove Launchpad from the Dock. Pick it up with your Mouse, and pul it off until it disappears in a puff of smoke.
You can also go into System Preferences, and go into the Trackpad Preferences (second row), select More Gestures on the top bar, and deselect Launch Pad by removing the checkbox. This way, you don't get into LauchPad via the pinch gesture.
You can't completely remove LaunchPad since it is system software and not a normal app, but you're not forced to use it. However, you remove it from the Dock and the pinch gesture should pretty much eliminate its use.
A: The Launchpad application link can be removed using the Terminal tool rm -rf, but this is highly inadvisable, and it will not remove the Launchpad system service, just the Application link.
If you wish to proceed anyway, here are instructions:
*
*Open Terminal under a user account with administrative privileges. Terminal is located in the Utilities folder of folder Applications of startup disk (usually named Macintosh HD)
*Enter the following command:
sudo rm -rf /Applications/Launchpad.app
*You'll be prompted to enter your password, enter it (it won't appear on-screen at all, like nothing's happening, but it's working nevertheless)
*If you're definitely sure you want to remove Launchpad.app, then press Enter.
Launchpad will no longer be in the Applications directory, and the Launchpad icon in the Dock will display a question mark when you attempt to instigate Launchpad.
To discard the Dock icon, drag the Launchpad icon to the Trash (bin on the far right of the dock)
A: LaunchPad appears to be part of the Dock rather than a separate process, so it cannot be truly disabled or deleted without disabling the Dock too. The below commands are the closest I can come to neutralizing Launchpad—save them to a script and run. There will still be a few methods of activating the Launchpad overlay, but the screen should always be empty.
This process modifies system files, so make a backup! I've only tested it on OS X 10.9 Mavericks (because I love Mavericks), but it will probably work up to 10.14 if you disable SIP, and on 10.15 with some additional tweaks.
# Remove the Launchpad app shortcut
sudo rm -rf /Applications/Launchpad.app
# Disable Launchpad Gesture on current user account
defaults write com.apple.dock showLaunchpadGestureEnabled -int 0
# Disable Launchpad Gesture on any future user account
sudo defaults write /System/Library/User\ Template/Non_localized/Library/Preferences/com.apple.dock showLaunchpadGestureEnabled -int 0
# Fix permissions on user template folder now that we've modified it
sudo chown -R root:wheel /System/Library/User\ Template/
sudo chmod 700 /System/Library/User\ Template/
# If an an app's bundle id contains a ".", exclude it from Launchpad. In practice, this rule will apply to every bundle id, excluding all apps.
echo '<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd"><plist version="1.0"><dict><key>launchpad</key><dict><key>ignore</key><dict><key>rules</key><array><dict><key>bundleid</key><string>.</string><key>type</key><string>contains</string></dict></array></dict></dict></dict></plist>' | sudo tee /System/Library/CoreServices/Dock.app/Contents/Resources/LaunchPadLayout.plist
# Reset LaunchPad
defaults write com.apple.dock ResetLaunchPad -bool true
# Restart Dock and Finder
killall Dock Finder
Launchpad bothers me greatly on a philosophical level—it breaks all of OS X's UI metaphors around app bundles, double-click behavior, and loads of other things. I don't know that this will be useful to anyone else, but I wanted it to be documented somewhere.

Q: Permanently Disable/Ignore Secondary Disk? I have a 256G SSD and a 1T HDD in my 27" iMac.
The 1T HDD is dying due to hardware failure.
Is there a file in OS X similar to /etc/fstab in Linux where I can prevent this 1T HDD from mounting?
I'd like to effectively disable/ignore this disk without needing to take it into an Apple store to be removed.
A: Yes!
First get the UUID of the partition you want to prevent from mounting... You can get this in Disk Utility "Get Info".
Now open your /etc/fstab file for editing:
sudo pico /etc/fstab
In this file add the following line (use your own UUID naturally):
UUID=[your UUID] none hfs rw,noauto 0 0
And save the file.
Restart for the change to take affect.
You can always mount it manually in Disk Utility.

A: Similar to Linux.
The preferred disk identifier a Volume UUID.
You can use disk utility to find the Volume UUID or use diskutil:
diskutil list
get the disk indentifier, e.g. disk0s4
diskutil information disk0s4
In the row labeled Volume UUID:
Volume UUID: XXXXXXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXXXXXXXXXX
Edit /etc/fstab as root (it may not exist), creating an entry of the form:
UUID=XXXXXXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXXXXXXXXXX none hfs rw,noauto
Also refer to
man -S5 fstab

Q: What does the option to "Allow Full Access" for my iOS keyboard do? A keyboard I recently installed on iOS 8 provides an option (in Settings) to "Allow Full Access"?
What does this setting do?
A: If you try it it will inform you of this:
Users can tap the keyboard name from here and check a box for "Allow
Full Access." Doing so presents the user with another prompt that
reads:
"Full access allows the developer of this keyboard to transmit
anything you type, including things you have previously typed with
this keyboard. This could include sensitive information such as your
credit card number or street address."
If the user chooses to accept this prompt and allow the keyboard, it
can now be accessed systemwide. When the virtual keyboard pops up,
simply tap the globe icon in the bottom left corner to cycle through
available keyboards, or hold down on the icon to pop up a list.

A: "Allow Full Access" has nothing to do with using the actual keyboard. The keyboard is accessible for you to use throughout the system regardless of this setting. In short, allowing full access grants the developer of the keyboard additional access to some of your information and gives the developer access to the internet. From the technical specifications under "Designing for User Trust", Allow Full Access does this:
*
*Keyboard can access Location Services and Address Book, with user permission
*Keyboard can send keystrokes and other input events for server-side processing
*Containing app can provide editing interface for keyboard’s custom autocorrect lexicon
*Keyboard can employ iCloud to ensure settings and autocorrect lexicon are up to date on all devices
*Keyboard can participate in Game Center and In-App Purchase
The second bullet point is what Apple really wants you to understand. With Allow Full Access a developer COULD send your keystrokes to their server for processing, which might include:
*
*analyzing your sentence for grammar
*analyzing a word for spelling
*predicting the word you are typing.
Apple is highlighting the fact that a developer COULD use your keystrokes for nefarious reasons instead of the legitimate reasons I listed above. It is possible for a developer to record your sensitive information such as credit card number or street address.
In my opinion, it is not possible for a developer to write a fully-fledged keyboard extension without requesting full access. Without Full Access I can't utilize In-App Purchases, I can't sync your preferences using iCloud, I cannot even provide a basic auto-correct feature.
I just finished developing a keyboard extension for iOS. My keyboard never sends your keystrokes across the internet. I will never see what you have typed. There are no privacy concerns in my opinion, yet you still receive a scary message from Apple when you turn on Allow Full Access. If you have concerns about turning Allow Full Access ON, ask the developer how they are using your data/keystrokes.
One additional note, you cannot use a custom keyboard to type into a password field. iOS will always use the system keyboard for password fields. Developers that do process your keystrokes will not have access to your passwords, unless you type your passwords into a non-password field.

Q: What resources are shared in iCloud Family Sharing? I have been trying to get a handle on iCloud Family sharing before I turn it on. There are two potential issues I could see having with it. First, is iCloud storage space shared amongst the accounts or is it linked a particular Apple ID. Second how does PhotoStream work with it. My wife and I currently like sharing all our photos so we can see what the kids are up to when they with one or the other of us. Will that still be the case?
A: iCloud storage is not shared. Of course I realized this after upping my storage. Really this is an odd solution to use as just sharing an iCloud id between devices does the same thing AND let's you share the increased iCloud storage for backups and other things. Was hoping this would help my wife out since she hates getting my notifications and warnings every time I add a device/service or two-factor authenticate. Oh well, maybe in a future version they will refine and add features.

A: According to Apple's Terms and Conditions:
You can share information such as photos and videos via the Photo app, events via your Family Calendar, reminders via the Reminders app, location information via Find My Friends, and device location via Find My iPhone.
This may not be an exhaustive list.

Q: How to use Nike Running with iOS 8's Health app? I installed iOS 8 on my iPhone 5S today and the got the Health app as a result.
It shows on the Health app that it can get data when the app "sends" data over to the Health app. So I assume Nike Running (an app from Nike) probably has that built in? If so, how can the running / walking data be sent over to iOS 8's Health app?
P.S. ok, I saw news headline such as: Apple seemingly removing HealthKit compatible iOS 8 apps from App Store due to issues, and Apple's health monitoring app is DOA: Firm forced to stop apps from using feature as it admits to iOS 8 bug
A: Nike (and all the others providing similar things) needs to update their application to make use of HealthKit and send data to the Health app.
Apple has announced that these updates also will not be available until later in September 2014:

Q: How much more storage than iOS 7 does iOS 8 ACTUALLY use up? I have read so many reports about iOS 8 installation storage requirements that I've lost count, and none of them even answer this very basic question.
“The download is 1.2 Gb… the free space requirement for the install is 5 Gb…” etc... But honestly, who cares? We get the space back after it’s done. It's a one time requirement.
What's ultimately of interest when I install iOS 8 on my iPhone 5 is: how much space will I never get back?
A: The Ars Technica iOS 8 Thoroughly Reviewed article pegs it at 600MB difference on the iPhone 5.
DEVICE SPACE AVAILABLE (IOS 7.1.2) SPACE AVAILABLE (IOS 8.0 GM)
32GB iPhone 4S (AT&T) 27.4GB 26.6GB
32GB iPhone 5 (VZW) 27.3GB 26.7GB
32GB iPhone 5C (AT&T) 27.2GB 26.5GB
64GB iPhone 5S (AT&T) 56.0GB 55.1GB

A: When you complete the upgrade to iOS 8 on the iPhone 5 - you will have 27.35 GB of usable capacity out of 32 GB of "marketing" storage. If your phone is smaller or larger than 32 GB, approximately 4.6 GB will be reserved for overhead.
On iOS 7 - you probably lost 4.1 GB, so the loss would be 500 MB on the upgrade from 7 to 8 for a 32 GB device.

Q: What is a reasonable command to prompt for sudo password with sudo -A? My question is definitely related to What option should I give the sudo command to have the password asked through a graphical interface?
But my question is slightly different. I know how to use sudo and SUDO_ASKPASS. But I'm still learning the Mac OS X conventions, etc.
My question is: Is there a reasonable default graphical program or command to run when running sudo -A? This is an automated solution so it's not a problem if that program requires arguments; it probably should, at least an argument like what prompt to show the user. I'll write them out to a shell script and execute that (which I'm already doing, and already works, but it's my little home-grown cross-platform UI which doesn't fit in well on OS X).

Q: How to make your iPhone beep every hour? Is it possible to have my iPhone making a sound every hour ? And preferably during day time, like 12 hours a day, and moreover only during weekdays only ?
A: Well – you can either set up returning alarms – but I suppose you already came up with that idea yourself. Or you can use one of those many many apps for hourly chimes. This overview claims to have a list of over 50 apps doing just that (and more) www.appcrawlr.com/ios-apps/best-apps-hourly-chimes
The first app I see in the list ("chime") seems to be doing exactly what you describe, available on the iTunes App Store at Chime

The first app I see in the list ("chime") seems to be doing exactly what you describe, available on the iTunes App Store at Chime
A: YES, you can setup an hourly chime on an iPhone WITHOUT downloading an app or any Jail Breaking for FREE! With just using sounds already on your phone, or any custom tone you create. And you can further tweak it so it doesn't block or lock up your phone when you are being alerted of the passing hour.
OVERVIEW:
1) Using SIRI to set up a DAILY reminder that alerts you every hour and repeats INDEFINITELY.
2) Just alerts you of the passing hour with no other intrusive notifications.
3) Brain hack for the neurotic: Choosing a ringtone that is soothing or has a positive association.
4) Cons (that I ran into).
5) Taking your reminders further.
6) Positive feedback from you.
---Worked as of 03/15/2016.
---Version: iOS iPh5 9.2.1, iOS iPh4 7.1.2
---Tested on: iPh5 and two iPh4 Note: Siri does not work on iPh4, but linked devices automatically carry over information if spoken through the iPh5. I don't own a iPh6, but it should be the same.
---Time to finish: 'Bout 5-10mins.
You'll be doing this with Siri and the "Reminder" app, which comes FREE with the iPhone.
Let's Begin:
1) Hold down the center home button and say:
"Remind me EVERYDAY when it's 12 O'clock A.M."
Siri will say: "OK, just tell me what you want to be reminded about."
(This is the title of the Reminder. Siri no longer gets caught up in a low A.I. logic loop. So, it can be anything you think of relevant or non-relevant. So, mentioning the time twice will no longer trip up Siri, but it will make sense if the title name is meaningful to YOU, because you're about to add at least 24 new reminders where meaningful title names will make it easier to distinguish between a sea of other possible reminders.)
So, hypothetically, you COULD say:
*
*"Alert this Bitch everyday at 12 A.M." or;
*"Dude, tick-tock it's 12 o'clock or even non-sense like;
*"Stick and berries make the world go 'round."
The logistics no longer matter to Siri, BUT to make sense at some later point in the future for yourself, I would repeat the time, specify A.M. or P.M. and the occurrence. Something like this:
"It's 12 A.M. again."
SIRI then will say: "OK, I'll start reminding you."
She'll show you:
*
*The newly created Reminder,
*Its creation date,
*The title name you choose for it,
*The time the reminder is set for,
*and the reminder's occurrence status.
You could review the Reminder's setup by tapping it, or manually close the screen, or do nothing and let the screen fade to black.
Repeat 23 more times. Relax. Siri makes it a 5 min task! At this point you're 99% done.
2) Now on to how Reminders will notify you. Turn off all intrusive visual notifications of the reminder alert, which can interfere with you if you are driving with map directions, using your phone as night clock, scrolling through music, or just plain texting.
Open Settings> Notification Center> Reminders.
*
*Notification Sound: Choose your Apple sounds or import your own.
*Badge App Icon: Toggled OFF.
*Show on Lock Screen: Toggled OFF.
*ALERT STYLE WHEN UNLOCKED (Three images of iPhone alerts examples): Tap the "NONE" image.
This needs to be set only 1 time NOT 23 more times, because there's only one Reminder App. We didn't magically create 24 or more.
ALL DONE!!
Nutshell Review:
*
*Hold down center the button to engage Siri.
*YOU SAY: "Remind me EVERYDAY when it's 12 O'clock A.M."
*Siri then will say: "OK, just tell me what you want to be reminded about."
*YOU SAY: "It's 12 A.M. again."
*Siri then will say: "OK, I'll start reminding you."
*Manually click-close your screen.
Repeat 23 more times.
Open Settings> Notification Center> Reminders.
*
*Notification Sound: Choose your Apple sounds or import your own.
*Badge App Icon: Toggled OFF.
*Show on Lock Screen: Toggled OFF.
*ALERT STYLE WHEN UNLOCKED (Three images of iPhone alerts examples): Tap the "NONE" image.
3) Using your own chime: The psychological aspect behind choosing the right sound:
Try to begin to associate relaxing sounds with intense people and things, so if you get a text from your crazy mom, or your drama infused sister, choosing a non-toxic sound won't automatically place you on edge, or place you in a worrisome state of mind. You want to be open minded and level headed to deal with their nonsense.
Similar rational with choosing the right ringtone for your hourly chime. You don't want the sound to be intrusive when you're sleeping, and while awake you want the sound to always say this:
"One more hour of my life has just passed. What positive thing have I done with this precious time?"
My soothing alert comes from Halle Berry's new Sci-fi Drama "Extant". This is the 21sec end theme I find amazingly relaxing: http://m.televisiontunes.com/Extant_-_Ending.html
4) The only CON I ran into so far is the assigning of different sounds to multiple reminders. Example: I really don't want my hour chime to be the same for a reminder to pick up some milk on the way home.
Untested work around You could also use the Calendar app and tweak the Notifications for it in settings...Hmmm.
5) Taking your reminders further. Did you notice location services in the tweak options. Imagine just having your alert go off only at work, or at the library. Or a reminder to take your trash out when you pass a street on a specific day on the way home from work. So much potential.
6) Don't just hit and run. If this worked, a few positive words would be great. Or post up and share a sound that's meaningful to you. See ya!
A: An app called Regularity ($0.99) should do the trick.
From their description:
Want a quick & simple way of receiving regular, repeating alerts? Regularity makes this easy. It’s ideal for reminding you to:
*
*Take medicine at certain times of the day, certain days of the week.
*Make that call to someone special at the same time every day or week.
*Back up the computer every month.
*Renew your yearly insurance.
Note: I have no affiliation with this app developer or Citrus Apps. I know of the app because I used it in high school to notify me one minute before the bell rang so I wouldn't be caught by the bell.
A: Try EveryHour app (https://itunes.apple.com/app/id963108472). Simple application for beeps

Good Luck.
A: I just received this email from Amazon that refutes the existence of the feature:
Hello,
Thank you for contacting Amazon. I've researched "Touch ID" feature
and found this feature it isn't available with the Amazon Appstore
apps at this time. We're constantly adding apps and features to our
selection, and features not unavailable now may become available in
the future.
I've forwarded your message to our Appstore development team for
consideration.
We look forward to seeing you again soon.
Best regards,
Devender K
A: Settings>Passwords & Accounts>Website & App Passwords>Tap “+”
then type www.amazon.com
Then type username (your email address)
Then type a password of your choice
Worked for me. IPhone 6s iOS 13
A: You're not alone, no one knows how to turn it on (or off!)
Amazon app for iPhone adds Touch ID support, but nobody knows how to turn it on…or off
A friend of mine says it works on his iPhone 6+. And so, I log into the same Amazon app on my iPhone 6, via name and password, I order products, manage my wish list, and never see the TouchID interface appear. So strange!
A: Ok, I just figured this out (finally), "and yes it does work". But it seems to be a combination of several of the answers provided above.
Probably the most important thing to point out is Tpoccu's posting.
"The application keeps you logged in to your account once you log in unless you log out", but if you're anything like me and you log out every time you're finished with the App, continue reading...
The first thing you'll need to do is go to Settings and scroll down to the Amazon App on your iPhone 6 (minimum) with an "Up To Date iOS", then scroll down to "Use Biometric authentication when available" and turn that on as Nura suggested.
Once that's done go to Settings/Passwords & Accounts/Website & App Passwords and Tap the “+” (top right) to provide the credentials that the App needs, and type in www.amazon.com under the Website Address and then just type in your Username and Password as Mr D suggested and you're done.
Then the next time you open the Amazon App and tap the Sign In button the App will ask you if you want to associate the App with the password that you saved earlier, just tap Ok and touch the finger print reader and you will be logged into the App automatically.
I hope this helps!

Q: Get Swipe Left in Mail To Show 'Delete' Instead of 'Archive' A new swipe-left feature to delete emails was promised to us in iOS 8 for the Mail application. And yet, when I swipe left, it only shows More, Flag and Archive. That is beyond disappointing.
How can I get it to show Delete instead of archive from the inbox?
I need a fast way to delete mails so they go straight to the Trash. And so far, the only time I see Delete when I swipe left is if I'm actually in the Trash folder.
Note: This is for a Gmail account.
A: *
*Go to Settings → Mail, Contacts, Calendars.
*Select the Gmail account in question.
*Select Account → Advanced.
*In the second section called "Move Discarded messages into" change Archive Mailbox to Deleted Mailbox.
The messages will then be deleted instead of archived.

Apple KB Article: Archive your Gmail messages
A: While searching for a solution I accidentally noticed that if you set the default "Swipe Right" to "Archive" it will show this message below: "Accounts that include Archive as a default action for swiping left will offer Trash for swiping right".
I checked and now I get the Trash option as well! (even though the message doesn't make sense, we are setting the Swipe Right and not the Swipe Left as Archive).
A: You're in luck - it's there. You just need to swipe faster and further to the left. Make it a "full sweep" from right to left.
This'll result in immediately deleting the mail message. In case you'll accidentally delete a message - which is imminent #imho - you simply "shake" your iPhone to ask you if you want to undo it.
In case something is not working as expected, you can verify the settings through Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > Swipe Options to see if the common actions are up to your standard.
A: When you archive a message, it moves to the All Mail folder. It does not delete the message from the Gmail account. You can learn more about the Gmail archive feature in Gmail Help. Archive replaces all delete options when you use a Gmail account, including tapping the Trash icon while you view a message and selecting Edit to manage multiple messages.
You can disable this feature in Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > Gmail Account > Account > Advanced > Move Discarded Messages Into:
A: As pointed out by Yariv Nissim above, there is a hidden preference in the iOS options that will give you BOTH delete and archive as swipe options.
Go to Mail > Preferences > Swipe Options, and select “Archive”. You will then see a message below that says “Accounts that include Archive as a default action for swiping left will offer Delete for swiping right”. I can confirm that this still works in iOS 13. Five years later and Apple still haven’t made the preference any more obvious.
I have posted this as a separate answer in order to be able to include a screenshot. Please give your upvotes to Yariv!

Q: Paste text when option not offered by the app? Is there a way to paste message if an app doesn't offer the paste option when you hold down in the text area? (Specifically Clash of Clans.) Alternate keyboard for storing text or something like that? Or with iOS 8, a keyboard with a paste button?
A: With new keyboards, one option to accomplish this turned out the be Paste It! It's a keyboard app that lets you type into the main app, and then find any one of a number of messages to paste later. Nice!
I think there are other keyboards out there providing similar functionality, but this was the first free option I found.

A: Use shortcuts --- settings/keyboard
A: Clash of Clans? No, it uses its own non-standard text fields, so you can't do anything at all in them. In general though, a double tap in most apps will allow a paste even if they don't normally. This works in password fields that are blocked from pasting as well, usually.

Q: iMessage stopped working.. Contacts are shown as red now This problem has been seen on mid-2012 MacBook Pros on Mavericks and on late-2014 Retina MacBook Pros on Yosemite.
One day while using iMessage on the Mac, all the contacts turned red and messages failed to send, immediately returning a "not delivered" error. It also reported when trying to resend the messages that the contacts were no longer associated with an iMessage account.
Things that didn't fix this behavior:
*
*Deleting the com.apple.ids.madrid
*Removing the Apple ID information from my phone, turning off iMessage on both of the devices, and placing my iPhone in airplane mode for several minutes before turning it on logging in again.
Could someone help me figure out how to solve this?
A: One way you will get the red contacts is if the iMessages account is not enabled.
Go to iMessages's preferences. And make sure the enabled check box is ticked.
You Will also get the red contacts if you are not signed in.
If that is the case you will need to sign in to see the enable check box.

A: What I did that seems to have worked:
iOS Device > Settings > Messages > Text Message Forwarding
Turned off the selection for my iMac & then turned it back on. Entered the code that showed up on my computer & all worked again.
A: Go to System Preferences and iCloud, then click on Account Details to verify your connectivity to iCloud.
If you've got:
Account Details could not be opened because of an error connecting to iCloud.
then try to Sign Out and Sign In again. One of the reason could be that Apple recently tries to force and upgrade security for users to use Two-factor authentication.
To check the iCloud errors, run the following command in Terminal:
log stream | grep -i iCloud | grep -C5 -i error
If the problem is somewhere else, try running the following log command in Terminal to debug the problem:
log stream --predicate 'processImagePath contains "Messages"'
or:
log stream | grep -C5 -w Messages
or check in Console app, then re-send the message and check for any hints or errors.
A: try to change your apple id to a new one just for imessage. i have the same problem as yours, icloud is all working thru mac and idevices. facetime also works with old apple id. only messages in mac ( seems cannot connect to the server or something is wrong with the appleid for messages server) and in my iphone, everytime i try to re-loggin again my old appleid, it sends messages and receive messages from anyone, i can send imessage to myself, only when i try to send imessage to my appleid(email add) it says delivered but i cannot get it back from my phone. same also with my mac. if my old appleid was logged in, all my contacts as red, but when i try to send a message to myself, i can receive it, but i cannot send to anyone. so what i did was use a new apple id specific for imessage only. both mac and iphone are working... messages are sync. :-)
A: I hope my encounter with Apple support helps.
I had a couple things happen. When I registered my iPhone to send the code to my laptop, my Mac never received the code. I could send messages from my Mac to other iPhone users but not to Android users. In the end, the problem was all on the iPhone side of the equation.
On your iPhone, under Settings → Messages, you should see a box called Text Message Forwarding. Enable this setting. I had it disabled and tried to send the code, but my Mac never got the code. (Also enable Send as SMS, MMS Messaging and Group Messaging if you want these features). We also signed out and back into iCloud on my mac and that didn't help.
I hooked my iPhone up to my Mac to back it up and left it plugged in the entire time we found the solution. (No idea if this had any impact.)
On the iPhone, we disabled restrictions found under Settings → General → Restrictions. Enable Handoff and Suggested Apps under Settings → General.
Here is the odd part, the box called Text Message Forwarding had disappeared. Text support wanted to wipe my iPhone. Instead we reset the network settings under Settings → General → Reset. Select Reset Network Settings. Once I did this, the Text Message Forwarding box re-appeared. Once activated, a code appeared on my Mac. At this moment, I don't know if Bluetooth was active or not but Wi-Fi was Off.

Q: Does iPhone 5s slow down with iOS 8? I am pondering whether it makes sense to install iOS 8 on my iPhone 5s. I've seen articles like this, that advise you not to install the new OS on the 4s.
However, I've seen nothing about the 5s experiences. Those with 5s phones upgraded... did the phone slow down at all? Was it worth it?
A: My 5s didn't slow down at all after the upgrade. I did disable a few features that annoyed me (quicktype prediction, spotlight suggestions, etc.) and you may want to if you're concerned about performance, but I didn't notice any speed issues at all. Much, much better than my experience with the beta on an iPod Touch.

Much, much better than my experience with the beta on an iPod Touch.
A: I've been running iOS 8 on a 5 since the first beta, and I've noticed no difference in normal use. The only thing I can even think to comment on is that the boot time seems longer than before.
Since it works so nicely on a 5, I can't imagine that you'd have an issues on a 5s.
A: Unfortunately for me, I've been seeing slow response in certain apps after the upgrade. I cannot prove that it was due to iOS8 but I am seeing more of it than before.
Edit: This issue will most likely occur until the app updates for iOS8, till then stability and bugs may occur.

Q: Import existing data into iOS 8 Health Is it (or will it be) possible to import data already collected by other apps into the new health app in iOS 8?
A: We recently released a new app that is dedicated to importing data from CSV (comma separated value) data files which covers many formats of exported data from existing apps. It will allow you to import data from apps that have an export feature, but are not yet integrated into HealthKit / Health App.
If this is a feature you are still curious about, please check it out on the App Store at: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/health-importer/id930943780?ls=1&mt=8

A: As xVir said in the comment, it will depend on the apps and not on Health.
After Health has been released, several of the apps I used were updated to support Health.
Some of them just said that they would push data in Health from now on (like Sleep Time), and others took the data they already had created to push it to Health (like FitStar).
So, it's up to the app developer to decide if he implements a way to push to Health the old data the app already created, or only the newly created data.
You can see Health as a "passive" data repository of health information which will be provided by 3rd party apps (or manually). It will then "just" draw charts out of it.
So follow xVir advice and ask the providers of apps. I did it with Sleep Time for example, where I would like to get several months of data in Health (but no answer for now... Just answered that they are looking into it for a future update)

Q: How can I sign up for a non-free iCloud account (having exceeded the 3 free ones) I have an iPad that has exceeded the 3 free iCloud accounts but I'd like to sign it up for iCloud (and I'd be willing to pay), but how do I do it.
When I get the prompt that says I have exceeded the 3 free ones there is no option to pay for one.
Signing up on another device may solve my problem but simply stores up problems for the owner of that device as it uses one of their 3 free registrations which is simply storing up issues for them in the future.
Any thoughts greatly appreciated!
A: Why not just upgrade one of the existing accounts?

(too much info to précis here, unless votes/comments would suggest it worth it)
A: You want to unlink the accounts from your iPad if they're not yours. Then you should be able to create one for yourself.
Right now you're using someone else's iCloud accounts. Why they didn't erase the iPad before handing it off is anyone's guess, but it wasn't smart on their part. They may have "moved on" with regards to the iPad you have, but they could still be using their iCloud accounts on other devices. That could get into theft, invasion of privacy, etc.
What you want to do, and what you'll need to do, is factory reset the iPad, then set up your own iCloud account during initialization. Yes, this will mean you will lose everything that was on there, but it really wasn't licensed to you to begin with. See this Apple Support Article for details.
A: The answer is it really depends on how and why you are rotating several accounts through one piece of hardware.
For example:
*
*Are you using an institutional email address (or something other than mac.com/me.com/icloud.com) for these Apple ID? The avenues for institutional management of Apple ID depends on your situation so there's no general purpose answer.
*Have you engaged your Apple Sales support yet? (for they surely can advise you on the benefits of one avenue versus another for your particular situation and location in the world as not all countries have the same online capabilities with respect to AppleID and iCloud.)
Without knowing the use case and larger picture, you are left with basic consumer actions like creating accounts on Mac and/or purchasing more iOS devices if you really need to sow more iCloud accounts due to harvesting older ones.
A: You can make the accounts at appleid.apple.com . That should avoid any issue with making too many from someone else's device.

Q: iOS 8 Family Sharing on, but not showing shared purchases After my wife and I upgraded our devices to iOS 8, I turned on a family sharing account so we could use those features.
It's on, and shows up on both of our phones as being part of a family. I also see the shared reminders and calendar. Also, her devices show up in my Find my iPhone.
What doesn't show up is purchases. If I go to iTunes or to the App Store, under purchased, I do not see her, nor any area for family purchases. It looks as it always has.
We have two totally separate iTunes accounts, always have.
Also, as a note - I have gone through everything on Apple's support page (http://support.apple.com/kb/TS5449) and no changes. Basically, it notes to make sure you are logged into the right accounts, everyone is set up to share, and the apps support it.
A: Download a new free app & see if it jogs the server.

Q: Keyboard shortcut for Sort By Date Created As there’s not one built-in (see hold ⌥ ALT and navigate to Finder->View->Sort By), I tried to create a custom keyboard shortcut for Sort By Date Created in Finder (such as the built-in for Sort By Name ⌃ CTRL⌥ ALT⌘ CMD1).
However, whichever keyboard combination I assign to it doesn’t work (i.e. ⌃ CTRL⌥ ALT⌘ CMD8, or ⌃ CTRL⌥ ALT⌘ CMD9, etc.)
How can I create a custom keyboard shortcut for Sort By Date Created?
A: First make sure that date created is a visible column in list view in finder. You can do this by entering list view and right clicking the headers and checking date created.
Then go to system preferences, keyboard, Shortcuts, and choose app shortcuts on the left. Then add a new shortcut for Finder by pressing the plus button and choosing finder from the drop down. In the menu title put "Date Created" exactly (without the quotes). Then focus the shortcut field and press your desired shortcut. For example Option+Command+8
Tested it in Mavericks and it works for me.

Q: How to change the colors of individual bars in Numbers 3.2 How do I change the colors of individual bars, in a bar chart of in Apple's Numbers 3.2.x
A: In experiencing this problem, Numbers always treated all of my bars as one series (not sure what planet that makes sense on, but whatever). You need your data treated as separate series so that you can apply a color to each series.
With the chart selected, click the Edit Data References button that appears over the chart. Then, look in the lower, right-hand corner, there will be a little tiny slightly darker gray on light gray button labeled "Plot Rows as Series" (or "Plot Columns as Series"). Change this setting and you should have separate series for each of your data points, which will allow you to change their colors.
Note that none of this is in the documentation.
As of Numbers 3.6 (possibly earlier), that's the lower left-hand corner.

A: *
*Select the chart.
*Then Double click on the Bar you want to change.
*Go to the Fomat Panel.
*Use the Styles Tab to change the colour of the individual Bar
A: I found this page to be helpful - I had wanted to color the bars for control cases differently than the normal ones.
A: I hate to say this, but still have to say the previous answer is quite misleading, because it is only working if there is only 1 data point per series.
I believe here the following is the real way of doing it correctly.
1. split data by column (or transpose the table if you want)
2. define each column as different series
3. change gaps in order to optimize alignment (you may try different number, then you'll find the bars are not evenly distributed as 0% and 999% setting).
Screenshot below for setting/format.

Q: Problem to initiate update for iOS 8 I have a iPhone 5s, and have still not received any information about on-the-air update to iOS 8. So I decide to update manually through iTunes. iTunes gives me an assuring message
iTunes will update your iPhone to iOS 8.0 and will verify the update with Apple.
and when I click OK, nothing happens. No user interface change, no network usage by iTunes, no error messages, nothing at all. And if I click Update button again, the above message shows up again.
Do anyone have a clue how to fix this?
A: Go into your iPhone's Settings. Select General -> Software Update. Here you can initiate an OTA update. (right now you will be placed in a waiting queue which could range from a few minute to a few hours due to demand).

A: Same problem here. Rebooting iPhone and MacBook solved it for me.
A: I had this issue as well.
Make sure you have the latest version of iTunes (which is 11.4).
Now, assuming, you have updated that. The next step is to follow the prompts within iTunes to update. My updates failed repeatedly, but eventually, I came to the conclusion that I could absolutely not run anything else associated with the internet. I kept iTunes fully maximized throughout the process and that was all I needed to do! Also, now that it is later in the day, there may be less traffic on Apple's servers :)

Q: How to stop my texts (iMessage) from showing on my Mac Whenever I send or receive messages on my iPhone they show up on my MacBook also. I was wondering how I could get that to stop?
It used to be that my texts wouldn't show up, and I could message through my MacBook also but now its just annoying and I'd rather not have my siblings creeping through my messages by reading them on my laptop.
A: Disable it in iMessages Prefs/Accounts...
[Edit] Re-reading your question, you want to be able to send from iPhone & MacBook, but not have the MacBook show any conversations initiated from the phone?
Never tried that one, but perhaps by disabling one or more of the account number/email address options further down the same page.
I've always had conversations appear in both locations, Mac & phone, never seen it behave any differently, unless I was in some poor reception area.

A: Go to System Preferences → Accounts and unclick on the iMessaging Service.
It will say it is "inactive".
This is for OS X 10.10.

Q: Remove OTA downloaded (but not installed) iOS 8 I've downloaded the new iOS 8 update on my iPhone 5 but am getting second thoughts about actually installing it. Is there a way for me to delete that download or am I at the point of no return?
A: You can stop and delete the update of iOS 8 by going to Settings/Usage and selecting the iOS 8 app which will give you the option to delete and it won't auto-download unless you decide to do so by going in the software update option.

A: I did same on iPad2. I have managed to remove the download (which wasn't installed). Select settings, general, usage, manage storage when the app list loads, you should see ios8, select this and then delete. Hope you're successful.
A: There's no way to delete downloaded iOS updates.
Settings | General | Software Update does not feature a delete button. On a non-jailbroken iPhone, once an iOS update has been downloaded (manually or otherwise), there is no permanent means of deletion.

How to delete downloaded iOS 6 update?
How to delete the iOS7 install package on iPhone?
This scenario plays itself out during every major release.
A: Just deleted ios8 update from settings: general: usage: storage (see all apps). ios8 is the largest "app" and will be the first choice.

Q: Temporarily free up space on iPhone 5 Don't really want to delete things but I cannot get OS 8 on phone due to lack of space. Have backed up phone using i tunes to the mac but don't know what to do after that. Can I delete music or photos and get them back easily after the download?? All the sites addressing this are confusing.
A: Have you tried updating your device through iTunes, instead of directly on the device? Click "check for updates" on your device's page in iTunes. This method needs less free space than updating through your phone.
As long as your music is still on your computer, or you purchased it through iTunes, then yes, it will be easy to restore you music if you need to delete it.

A: Apple's site it pretty clear and included links to free up space on iOS when you want to perform an OTA update.

Q: Where is the index.html on OSX 10.9 (Mavericks) Apache setup? I've started up Apache on my Mac and get the "It works!" message, but I have no idea where that file is.
I've checked the httpd.conf file and the location listed is:
DocumentRoot "/Library/WebServer/Documents"
Yet, when I go to the /Library/WebServer/Documents folder, it is empty!
This one is driving me crazy, any help would be appreciated.
A: copy index.html.en to just index.html and you'll be able to see your changed index.html file.
Just figured this out.

A: copy index.html.en to just index.html and you'll be able to see your changed index.html file.
Just figured this out.
A: There should be 3 files in /Library/WebServer/Documents:
*
*index.html.en
*PoweredByMacOSX.gif
*PoweredByMacOSXLarge.gif
If these files are missing, it really shouldn't matter.
As soon as you create your own HTML file and place it in that folder, the "It works!" message should be replaced with your new index.html file.
Hope this helps.
A: There is a /Library folder in your account at:
/Users/<username>/Library
This is not the folder Apache uses.
There is a 'higher level' Library folder at :
/Library
and this will hold your apache Documents folder.
You can navigate 'higher' than your user folder by pressing down the Command key while clicking on the name of the folder that is centered at the top of the Folder window.
(Late answer, but it may be useful to someone...)
