iPhone "Recently Deleted" photos folder issue

I experienced some embarrassing moment today. In iOS 8 (not very sure about 7) when you delete an image, it goes into another folder in the photos gallery named Recently Deleted. I know it helps because when you accidentally delete a picture, you can simply restore it (Recover) from there.

I had a photo which I thought I had deleted. I gave my iPhone out to a friend who wanted to do something with it only to find out he saved some screenshots and wanted to access them. Voila, the picture I thought I had deleted was the display icon (last deleted) in the Recently Deleted gallery.

My question: Why is it kept in the home screen of photos since any other user can easily see them? Could Apply not have used other means to help users Recover deleted pictures? I only got to know deleted photos are kept there today.

How to uninstall packages that are not dependencies of brew leaves

brew leavesgives me a list of installed packages whereas brew list of all installed packages. However I would like to know whether there is a way to uninstall packages that are no longer in the dependencies of other packages and not leaves?

Why do symlinks sometimes vanish in Xcode?

The source files of interest are on a network share hosted on a Win7 machine, but the symlinks are created on this Mac using ln -sf

These are .h files, and sometimes one or more of them are not found by the C++ compiler. I get an error like foo.h is not found, when I can see it and read the (linked-to) contents using Finder.

My work-around is to copy the file instead of symlink to it. Then I find that the other files (symlink .h files in the same directory linking to files in the same source directory; just like the "bad" one) have no problems.

Which one(s) are affected will vary, too.

Any idea what could be causing this? It started when updating Mac OSX to Mavericks, which has different CIFS network code. It still happens with Yosemite.

VMware ESXi compatible RAID card for the Mac Pro

I have a 2009 Mac Pro that I'd like to add a hardware RAID card to. I am running VMware ESXi with various OSes running as VMs. The Apple RAID card is not what I'm looking for.

I would also like to utilize the 4 hard drive bays and get 6G speeds. I have run into a few potential solutions, but have not been impressed. Anyone found a good solution?

Yosemite Retail DVD?

I understand that Mac OS X is free to download and install however It would be nice to have a DVD backup printed and shipped by Apple just like older Mac OSX releases.

Is this still possible?

Macbook Pro - iTunes

I listen to the radio on iTunes but lately it seems to jump to the next station on it's own, if I click back onto the original station then it plays again for a few minutes and jumps again, if I leave it on then after a while it will jump to the next one again and so on, the internet is still connected.

I've tried looking on the Apple website but I can never find an answer - it's doing my head in!!!

HELP

Thanks

How to rescind permission granted under Family Sharing/Ask to Buy

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

Webcam/Video Multiplexor Software

I want to stream live video on ustream and mix-in (multiplex) various webcams (And preferably screencasting from one of my monitors).

ustream provides $200 software for this task, but the only feature I'm really looking for is a means to automatically cycle between various sources.

I imagine someone may have a small program that just aggregates together multiple sources and provides a software-dummy video device that gives the output from whatever source is being committed to output. I've searched around for this and not found it, but I may not be using the exact right language.

Migration Assistant and ~previous system configuration files

I successfully ran Migration Assistant during the process of migrating a Mac on Mavericks to a new one on Yosemite.

On the source Mac, I made a few modifications on system configuration files for security reasons. These files are within the /etc directory:

/etc/services
/etc/sshd_config

After the run of Migration Assistant I found some of my modified configuration files under the same name but with a suffix of ~previous and my file was replaced by a new one without my modifications:

/etc/services
/etc/services~previous
/etc/sshd_config
/etc/sshd_configd~previous

I also found some other files with this ~previous suffix on files I didn't modify:

/etc/group
/etc/group~previous

---

Is this mechanism a kind of backup of Migration Assistant to protect a new system against potential incompatibility within configuration files?

Is the resulting new file the source one from Yosemite or a merge between the source one and my modified one?

Where is the managment of these ~previous files documented?

How should I deal with them?

(I already hunted the Knowledge Base about these files).

Why are my earbuds making dolphin noises?

What I'm hearing...

Of the three vocalizations dolphins produce, my iPhone 6 earbuds have started making two: whistles and clicks. This clip is the closest I could find to the sounds I'm hearing. Now of course, these noises only approximate dolphin-y noises. The whistle sounds more electrical, the clicks more mechanical, than the organic noises of actual mammals. But they do share many aural traits with dolphin vocalizations, so it's a quick way to explain what I'm experiencing. Some of the traits held in common are pitch, note length, and note frequency. I'll visualize their amplitude over time with some rudimentary ASCII charts.

Time → Amplitude ↑

Whistle (pitch is high):

_--````````````------________

Clicks (pitch is Mid-range):

_- _- _- _- _- _- _- _- _- _- _- _-

What I've learned so far...

• These noises are noticeable when there's no other audio. I usually hear them before I make a phone call or start listening to a podcast.


• The whistles stop if I unplug my standard-issue earbuds, letting the cord dangle. The clicks pretty much stop then as well.


• Jiggling the cable—whether it's plugged in to the iPhone or not—does nothing to influence the noises. I've tried jiggling the cable at all the junctures where I suspect a weak connection might form without avail.


• My attempts to decipher the language of dolphins have yielded no clues into a semantic interpretation of these noises. (Okay, this last one's a joke. But my question is genuine, asked in good faith.)

What I'd like to know...

What is the explanation for this phenomenon?

Dropbox Install in Data Partition between OS X and Windows 7 Boot Camp

I have a Data partition between OS X Mavericks and Windows 7 Boot Camp. I have my Dropbox folder in the partition. I have tried using it in the past formatted as exFAT. This was unsatisfactory in that it would not stay indexed in OS X, and there were other issues.

I have now formatted the Data partition as Mac OS Extended (Journaled). Then on Windows 7, I have a trial version of Paragon HFS+ for Windows installed.

Here is my issue. OS X creates a bunch of files in Dropbox ending in com.dropbox.attributes. There is at least one of these almost for every file in Dropbox. From OS X these do not sync to the Dropbox server and are hidden. However, in Windows they are visible and sync to the Dropbox server.

I would like to do two things:

1. Hide them in Windows 7


2. Prevent them from syncing to the Dropbox server in Windows 7

(By the way, I have already tried running a command in Windows that hides all of these files. It only worked temporarily. As soon as Dropbox was back up and running they re-appeared.)

Please let me know if you need any more information or clarification.

How to Spotlight index a folder under /private/var

I got a directory /private/var/directory that I'd like to index using Spotlight. It looks like everything under /private/var/ is excluded from indexing. I tried to import it using:

mdimport /private/var/directory

But it didn't work. I also thought it might be excluded by some kind of sandboxed environment, but I couldn't figure out if that is the case.

As a last resort I could move the directory somewhere else but I'd rather not do that as it would be a lot of work in this particular case.

How can I force Spotlight to index this directory?

How do I downgrade node? There's no brew versions command!

I'm using brew. I have node installed. I want to use an earlier version of node.

Online, I find instructions such as, for example:

cd /usr/local/Library/Formula
brew remove node --force
brew versions node
git checkout 83988e4 /usr/local/Library/Formula/node.rb
brew install node

The problem I have with this is that brew doesn't seem to have a versions subcommand:

$ brew versions node
Error: Unknown command: versions
$ brew --version
0.9.5

I'm new to brew. Do I need to enable the versions subcommand somehow? Should I use a different subcommand instead?

I'm running OS X Yosemite (10.10.1); brew 0.9.5.

Racoon - Invalid Major Version 32

I'm playing around with StrongSwan to setup a VPN connection between two mac's on Ubuntu and OSX. I'm having a mac specific problem with racoon. I've tried on four different mac's and half of them are having an error coming from the racoon daemon

racoon[312]: invalid major version 32.

This seams to happen after ikev2_init[I] messages is sent. I'm able to receive a response ikev2_init[R] but the tunnel is never created successfully.

This has happened on macs running Yosemite and Mavericks.

How do I check the version of racoon / fix this problem?

Can I run Apache 7.0.x on Yosemite?

I am a junior-level developer beginning to work on a project that requires me to use Apache 7.0.x, and I'm running Yosemite with a Windows 7 VM. When I did some research on how to get Apache, I discovered that Mac comes with Apache pre-installed. However, it seems that the version is 2.4. Since Apache runs on JRE, it seems to me that I should be able to have Apache 7 so long as I have Java 7, but the version numbers are throwing me off.

Why is the versioning so far off, and what do I need to do to be able to run apache 7 on my Mac? Developing on my Windows VM is an option, but I prefer to keep everything on the Mac side.

How to uninstall individual Office365 components in Mac OS X

Touch ID doesn't work first thing in the morning?

Here's a weird one.

I have an iPhone 6 Plus, and the last phone I had was the iPhone 5 so this is the first device I've had with Touch ID. I'm using Apple's leather case and no screen protectors or anything.

I use it as an alarm clock and so sometimes when I wake up I notice there's something like an email I need to see immediately.

What I've noticed is that when I first wake up, Touch ID doesn't let me in. Like, it doesn't even recognize I'm touching it. I don't get the "try again" like I'm using the wrong part of the finger or wrong finger, the screen just turns off after a few seconds like I'm not doing anything. I have to unlock using my keycode. If I quickly lock my phone and try again it still doesn't work. If I try a few minutes later it works fine.

I don't think this is a hardware or software flaw, my guess is that there's something about my hands first thing in the morning that the Touch ID sensor has problems with but I can't imagine what.

Does anyone else have this happen or know why it happens? Or is it just me?

Any way to define volume keys depending on orientation

I've used an iPad mini for some time now and one thing that always bothered me is the volume keys always keeping the same layout regardless of orientation, one thing that always had in my mobile phone (android), the sawp of volume buttons when screen is rotated.

On portrait it's ok, but on landscape is frustrating, having the buttons on top, pressing the left button with the instinct of decrease the volume and eventually increasing it.

Is there some option/extension to install to enable this on iOS?

Can someone please advise.

AppleScript in OS X 10.10 to Resize Safari window and take Screen Shot of that window and repeat with multiple sizes

I would like to build an AppleScript Application that when run will do the following:

1. 
   

   Open up Safari and navigate to a specific URL, or a line delimited file, or CSV. This is not required but would make generating multiple screenshots of different pages a lot quicker.

   
   


2. 
   

   Resize the Safari window to one of a number of sizes

   
   


3. 
   

   Take a screenshot of the Safari window with the filename being the url along with the screen size

Different iCloud and iTunes accounts on one device

I recently got divorced. My ex-husband has changed the Apple ID password for his account and won't share it with me. All three of my boys are on his account. I can no longer see them on Find My iPhone, or have any access to their texts, web browsing history, etc. As their mother I need that. I want to know if I can create a separate Apple ID for them, use it as their iCloud account, but use my ex-husband's account for their iTunes so they can still have access to all the music, movies, and apps they have accumulated over the years.

Any help anyone can give me would be much appreciated.

How to install *.fon and *.bdf/*.psf/*.pcf fonts on Lion?

I want to install some rare fonts on a Lion¹ system. I have not been able to find these fonts in formats that Font Book will immediately recognize. I would like to know if there's a way to convert or re-package these fonts in such a way that Font Book will accept.

One of the fonts ("pcsansi") is a single file with extension fon.

The other one ("Terminus") consists of multiple *.psf and *.pcf files, which were in turn generated from multiple *.bdf files.

(FWIW, at least one of these fonts, Terminus, is a bitmapped² font, but for all I know both of them are.)

Is there a way to do what I'm trying to do?

PS: I am particularly keen on installing Terminus. Of the two fonts, it is the only one for which I was able to find any documentation at all. (See link above.) In fact, it comes with a ./configure + make + make install installation procedure, but the latter step only gzips and relocates the files *.psf and *.pcf files created during the make step.

---

<sup>1 This is the latest OS X version that will run on the hardware.

2 Yes, I am aware of the fact that not many people like bitmapped fonts. I still want to install these fonts.</sup>

"Evernote Premium" text is hovering on my screen, despite Evernote app being closed

I have some text hovering over my screen, in all my spaces, for at least the past 2 weeks. I cannot recall when this started. And, unfortunately, I do not know how to replicate it.

Several attempts to contact Evernote for support have been fruitless.

This is what the text looks like :

This text is there whether I'm in a terminal window, running a VM through VMWare, or watching a movie!

I have uninstalled and quit Evernote, but I'm beginning to think this is not a problem of Evernote.

iWork Numbers 3.5.2

I'm creating a template on Numbers and I would like to know if there is a way for the formula to ignore, or skip over some cells or even entire columns... I need these columns for some calculations, but need them to be overlooked for others. The catch being, which column will have to be sikpped over will be different every time.

Maybe there is a way to "mark" a column to be ignored, with the help of a checkbox, perhaps?

Or is there an even easier, more obvious way that has eluded me?

Thanks in advance for your help!

MBP late 2008 HDD and SSD setup

I wanted to use my HDD as a Window 7 setup. However, when I go into boot camp to do this, my computer shuts down and hangs. Is this because of the boot sequence of optical drive comes first? Or is this due to something else?

Is there a document/webpage that supplies instructions about that ?

macbook air 2013 bad wifi when internal monitor off while using external monitor

As absurd as it sounds I my macbook shows the connection to WiFi but does not load anything when connected to external monitor.

I use macbook air 13 inch 2013 1.7 i7 chip and 8gb ram and DNS L270 1440x2560 monitor connected via display port and mini dp to dp adapter at 60 hertz (NTSC)

Here is how I came up with my conclusion: The way I use them is by having both on the desk, I mirror displays so I only use the external monitor a mouse and a keyboard, while my macbook is open and left aside with the screen brightness turned to none. I was bothered with poor wifi on the macbook for some time, while other devices worked just fine in the same room. Sometimes I would take my macbook and go to another room to see if wifi works better on it and it did. This morning I got pretty annoyed how I could not open a news article in my room, but could stream 1440p videos on youtube no problems just outside the room. So I grabbed my desk out of the room and to my surprise it still would not work properly. However as soon as I unplug external monitor wifi works just fine. After a few 'try and see' I worked out that wifi works fine when the brightness on the internal screen is on. I have no idea why it works like this and I am probably wrong with my guessing

My problem is to have wifi work while the internal monitor remain none of the brightness.

When researching on this topic I found this and looked into it. However I never shot the lid so it's not a case here. Apart of that question I could not find anything close to my problem. So I wonder if anyone had a similar issue and any possible solutions.

How to quickly know the resolution of an image?

I am looking for a nice and quick way to display the resolution of an image. Presently, I have to open the image in photoshop and then enter a menu to know the resolution. The process is too slow when I have to browse through dozens of pictures and get those with resolution big enough.

(I am running OSX 10.9)

sshd: Service exited with abnormal code: 255

Every SSH connection exits with an abnormal code.

For example

ssh corti@myhost.example.com true

results in

Feb 11 10:16:47 mac-mini com.apple.xpc.launchd[1]: (com.openssh.sshd.163F2BE0-40C6-4B17-AB4E-5A0A07A524DE): Service instances do not support events yet.
Feb 11 10:16:48 mac-mini.home sshd[35674]: Accepted publickey for corti from ***.***.***.*** port 65030 ssh2
Feb 11 10:16:48 mac-mini.home sshd[35676]: Received disconnect from ***.***.***.***: 11: disconnected by user
Feb 11 10:16:48 mac-mini com.apple.xpc.launchd[1]: (com.openssh.sshd.163F2BE0-40C6-4B17-AB4E-5A0A07A524DE[35674]): Service exited with abnormal code: 255

Why is sshd exiting with a non zero return value (i.e., 225)?

How good a camera would Touch ID make?

Is the Touch ID sensor good enough to deliver surveillance images (e.g. if Apple or some researcher/agency did it) ?

Would it be possible at all to get any usable imagery from the environment using only this sensor?

Maybe at least good enough to detect and distinguish gestures and motion near-field?

What is its angular/distance-specific resolution?

Scanners for example could be used as cameras in combination with advanced image processing to compensate for out-of-focus issues.

PF Port forwarding not working

I have the following rule in a file in /etc/pf.anchors/

rdr pass on lo0 inet proto {udp,tcp} from any to self port 25 -> 127.0.0.1 port 1025

The intention is to forward all local traffic to port 25 onto port 1025, this is so sent emails can be captured before they are sent for testing email delivery on websites locally.

I then have added rdr-anchor "foo" and load anchor "foo" from "/etc/pf.anchors/foo" into /etc/pf.conf.

When I run pfctl -v -n -f /etc/pf.conf I get the following:

Loading anchor foo from /etc/pf.anchors/foo
rdr pass on lo0 inet proto udp from any to 127.0.0.1 port = 25 -> 127.0.0.1 port 1025
rdr pass on lo0 inet proto udp from any to 10.0.1.3 port = 25 -> 127.0.0.1 port 1025
rdr pass on lo0 inet proto tcp from any to 127.0.0.1 port = 25 -> 127.0.0.1 port 1025
rdr pass on lo0 inet proto tcp from any to 10.0.1.3 port = 25 -> 127.0.0.1 port 1025

So it looks as if it should be working, however if I run an nmap scan on the port it says closed, or if I send a test email with echo "This is the body of a text test-mail" | mail -s "Email test" test@test.com the email is not caught, but also doesn't seem to get sent.

The most strange thing is that I have pretty much the same configuration for pf on my work mac and the forwarding works fine.

Any ideas would be great as I don't even really know how to debug this issue.

Setting path env variable in Yosemite 10.10.2 for a GUI app

After upgrading to 10.10.2 when I lunch a GUI app from a terminal using 'open -a app" the app doesn't see the path currently set from that terminal session. Before the upgrade that was working. Any idea what happened?

Thanks
