I need a terminal command to delete all images (*.jpg, *.png, *.gif, *.JPG, *.PNG, *.GIF) stored in myfolder and its subfolders, preserving the folders structure. I do not need to move them to trash folder.
I guess that some regular expressions are needed, but this overcomes my skills.
I am about to switch to a new computer and would like to make the process of reinstalling all the apps easier.
What I need to reinstall are mainly:
~/Applications/ directory (probably together with some settings of these applications, stored in different directories~/.bashrc, .vimrc)Is there any software I could use to automate some of these export-import/reinstall tasks for me?
I have a 13" Retina MacBook Pro with 8GB Ram, Core i5 @2.6Ghz and I am experiencing heavy UI lags when switching between applications, virtual desktops, sometimes when I scroll (for example in iTunes), overall UI is somewhat faster than it was before but there are still a lot of lags and stutters when using it.
I feel bad for the new OSX because it's my first time when a new OS X would bring this kind of problems into a perfectly running machine.
I have an older iMac 27" which runs just fine the same OS X 10.10.2, there are no visible lags and everything runs out smooth.
I don't understand why Apple did not addressed this issue as I already made a loot of bug reports cases with them and there are a lot of others affected by this.
I've added Outlook Office 365 Web url (for example) to my springboard. Everything works fine, because they added navigation on the web pages itself.
However when I open an attachment, it will open full screen. I have no navigation buttons left.
How can I navigate back instead of going to springboard and opening the app again? Iphone does not have a "back"button as most Androids have.
My dog decided it wanted to make my MacBook Air Charger (MagSafe 2) his new chew toy. Is it possible to buy just the cord that connects to the charger and the MacBook Air?
I can only find the charger box (for lack of a better term) and not just the cord which is what I need.
Is there a way in OS X to change the desktop from Finder to something else (for example KDE from Fink)?
Basically, I want Finder to not boot up at startup, so no icons, no dock (but keep the menu bar)
Here is some background:
When I'm on the move, I often have to use my mobile phone as a hotspot. Usually I will realise that after having woken up my MacBook, otherwise how would I see that no WiFi networks are available.
However, OSX does not seem to rescan too often, I don't know the interval, but I usually end up turning off WiFi and turn it on again.
A much better solution for me would be a button / service / ... that I can nudge and that will then Search for available WiFi networks NOW
Any solutions?

Is there any way to set a print range in Apple Numbers.app spreadsheets, to print just a subset of cells rather than entire document?
My iPhone 4S shows that I have 1.3GB of photos but I don't have any. How to empty this amount of space and make it available?
I go to "settings" -> "general" -> "usage" -> "manage storage" and then "Photos & Camera" shows that there is 1.3GB of using space but I have no photos at all. So I go to that "Photos & Camera" and I see that "Shared Photo Stream" takes most of it, so about 1.3GB but I don't share any photos. But! If I take one photo using camera and then it appears in "Photos" -> "Camera Roll" then I go to "settings" -> "general" -> "usage" -> "manage storage" -> "Photos & Camera" then it shows that "Photo Library" uses almost 1.3GB of storage space in my iPhone and "Shared Photo Stream" almost none. And if I delete this one photo then "Shared Photo Stream" shows that there is almost 1.3GB using space and "Photo Library" uses almost none.
I use iOS 8 but before when there was iOS7 the problem was the same and it was the main reason why I updated to iOS8 because I was hopping it resolves this problem but the problem is still there.
Help please
As an ongoing issue (for at least the past three major OS X versions), I find that when trying to remote to another machine using Screen Sharing, the remote screen gets painted completely black. Moving the mouse will result in the area immediately under the pointer being redrawn correctly, and dragging a window (in the remote session) off screen then back on will redraw that window. Sometimes other areas of the screen will redraw themselves (usually when there is an actual change), but most the screen simply remains black, sometimes even repainting back to full black again.
Network connectivity doesn't seem to be a factor; this happens both on a fast LAN and across the Internet with 400-500ms latency. Hardware doesn't seem a factor either; using a range of Mac Minis and Macbooks. Screen sharing sometimes initiated via Remote Desktop, sometimes just clicking on Share Screen in the Finder. While I can work around this glitch (I tend to just SSH in for maintenance), I thought I'd see if anyone out there has any suggestions!
Can someone please help. I just got my new iphone today and now i am stuck with a stupid wrong address. Never been more annoyed
How do I get back my progress in games, on ios, if I deleted them or have a new device? I never backed them up btw.

I created a bootable usb using the instructions here http://ift.tt/1j0VtG9.
I installed the and 64bit version. I got a Mac book Pro 2011, MacBook Pro (15 Zoll, End 2011) Processor 2,2 GHz Intel Core i7 Storage 16 GB 1333 Mhz DDR3 Graphiccard Intel HD Graphics 3000 512 Mb AMD Radeon HD 6750M 128 GB SSD
When i boot yosemite and press alt i can select to boot from the usb drive.
Then it starts GRUB and i can select install Ubuntu.
Then black screen appears and the Ubuntu sound appears and then nothing happens.
What can i do?
I am migrating to a new machine from a time machine backup from a USB3 drive. It is currently transferring the applications folder and is taking a small eternity and quoting me 100+ hours remaining. Is there some way to figure out what is being transferred or what file is being transferred?
Thanks!
Sometimes my headphone jack stops working and I need to restart my computer. I can also put the computer to sleep and it will wake in the proper mode (headphone vs. speakers). Is there a way to reset whatever is causing this problem without restarting?
I would like to be able to change the title of a shortcut (especially web shortcuts set as icons). Is this possible?
For example, I have a Safari shortcut for Facebook. As an icon, it's labeled "Facebook". Can I change that to "m.facebook" or something else?
If so, how?
the operating system of my laptop is Macbook pro Mac OSX 10.5.8 what is the compatible browser I can safely download?.
I've been meaning to upgrade the OS X on my Oct 2008 macbookpro4,1 - 2.4 GHz - 2GB RAM forever. I just purchased an iPhone 5S and dont want to get ahead of myself.
Three (maybe Four) inter-related questions:
What is highest OS X upgrade to run smoothly on my macbookpro4,1? It is still running os x 10.6.8. and I just loaded iTunes 11.1.1 and I'm still able to backup the new iPhone 5S running iOS 7.1.1 directly to computer.
what is highest pairing of OS X AND ios AND version of iTunes, that will run smoothly on my computer and still allow me to backup my iPhone to the computer?
If I upgrade phone to iOS 8.1.1 will I need to upgrade iTunes to ver. 12 and will it run on OS X 10.7... or will I need to upgrade to 10.8? I thought I saw somewhere that 10.7 was highest OS X to run on my macbookpro4,1???
Cheers

In Dragon NaturallySpeaking 12.5 professional on Windows 7 SP1 x64 Ultimate I can change the minimum pause length required before a voice command in the option menu:
Surprisingly I can't find the setting in Dragon Dictate 4 on Mac OS X 10.10 (Yosemite). Did I miss something or is there really no way to change the minimum pause length required before a voice command?
My laptop (Yosemite) is now 'PPPoE' connected over wifi, what is this and what does it mean?
Should I be worried? It seems to have happened since Yosemite.
Everything seems to be working fine, but I noticed this when I was recently tightening security on my AirPort.
I'm trying to create a developer account at developer.apple.com, but every time I click "Register", it says the server at developercms.apple.com couldn't be found. Is this happening to anyone else? How can I get past this?
Recently, I upgraded to iCloud Drive and began storing a number of files in it. I created a new folder in iCloud Drive (not one of the default "Pages" or "TextEdit" folders) and put my files in it. However, because I use it so frequently, I would like to put the folder in my Finder sidebar. When I tried to do so, it would not allow me — it simply gave me the option to drag it into an existing folder in the sidebar. It did not even display the circle with the cross through it ("do not enter sign," if you will) that often appears when I attempt to drag a folder to the Favorites bar that cannot be added. However, I was able to add the default iCloud Drive folders ("Keynote," "Preview") to the Favorites sidebar without any issues. I have also tried CMD-dragging to create an alias on the sidebar, but to no avail.
I'm running a late 2013 iMac on OS X Yosemite 10.10.1.
A record company is offering free downloads of high-definition music. I downloaded several music files encoded at 24 bit, 192 kHz ALAC. To my surprise, iTunes 12.0.1.26 on 10.10.1 Yosemite imported the track and played it successfully! And it lists that high-resolution information in the file information.
I had thought that iTunes could not play high definition files. I understood it to be limited to 16 bit, 44.1 kHz files. And so I had thought that special software is required to play anything higher than that.
So my question is: When iTunes is playing such files, is it actually playing them at full resolution, or is it down-converting them? (Or whatever the technical term would be for storing or playing the files at something less than full resolution.) I can't tell by ear because I don't have my computer hooked up to good speakers.
I'm trying to find a source for cursors that can be used (downloaded free or for a purchase price) for Mac OS X application development (since there are only 13 OS X system cursors).
Are there any sources for cursors?
I restarted my iPhone 4S because the apps kept backing out instead of loading but my phone has been showing the Apple sign on the screen for about an hour. I've already tried pressing the home button and shut off button. What do I do?
If I buy an iPhone6 (the T-Mobile contract free one) in the US and gift to a friend in Italy, will it be fully functional there once he inserts an Italian TIM card? Will I have a financial obligation to T-Mobile?
I've read that only the OWC one supports this but then again some people claim it's bogus.
So I was wondering what SSD brand and models I can get to upgrade my Late 2012 MBP that when I upgrade to Yosemite, it won't break as apparently if you have any non-Apple SSD, Yosemite will crash and display gray area due to kext signing.
I rather not get OWC one because even though everyone seems to swear by them, they don't have much review scores on sites like Amazon and rather go to more popular ones like Samsung 840 EVO, not only they are cheaper. But not sure if Samsung 840 EVO can work with kext signing.
Thanks.
I bought a headset recently (HyperX Cloud) and i've installed windows via bootcamp, but my mic don't get detected by windows 8.1, but if i use it on my mac partition which has mac os yosemite installed it does. I've got bootcamp v5 drivers and even tried to reinstall them, didn't work
Well the past few days have been a near disaster. I recall this whole problem starting when I was using chrome and suddenly I couldn't access pages and safari wasn't working either. I was getting the oh snap page from chrome. So I exited out and then tried to reopen chrome and the bottom icon of chrome would just bounce once (usually it bounces until it opens) and would never open. Then I tried to restart the computer but none of the restart or shut down buttons ere working beneath the apple logo. So I held down the power button and to force shut down. Upon trying to turn the MacBook back on I am stuck in the grey screen forever. I have tried everything on the apple troubleshoot pages. I tried safemode and I was stuck in the grey screen still. I tried the safe mode where it shows you the progress and for some reason I could get back in but then the cycle began anew of the chrome not working... I tried the PRAM reset or whatever it's called. So I finally tried to do a MAC OSX from the recovery and sometimes it won't let me start the reinstall and other times it gets to like 6 minutes remaining and then it will all of a sudden stop.
This is a really terrible time for my computer to stop working because I have finals and papers due very soon. To make matters worse I made an appointment with the genius bar today and unfortunately I was less than 20 minutes late to my appointment and they said I'd have to come back tommorrow! So basically I have lost many hours in the past 2 days. If you could help me I think I'd owe you a life debt.
Edit: I forgot to mention that I did all the verify disk and permissions and repairs in the disk utility in the recovery. I also ran the apple hardware test and it said nothing was wrong. At times when the computer was able to boot but having the troubles I was getting the unapproved caller message
I have an odd issue on my MAC. I installed java 1.8 sdk so I can use some Java applications however when I run any java based apps, they look real weird or I can get an error saying to use the latest java.
When I am on the command line and I type in java -version it shows 1.8
Any ideas on why my java apps don't seem to work?
The odd thing is if I run the application from a disk image (before i move to the applications folder) it works completely fine.
If you start to enter a phone number (a deleted contact) and it pops up with the options to call, FaceTime, send message... Under in red it says remove from recents. Does this mean that number has been called or texted recently?
I use a wireless Apple keyboard at home and a wired (full sized) one at work. Now I constantly get confused when I want to do a forward delete, since I'm used to the fn+delete combination.
Is it possible to somehow map control+delete to do the same thing? (control is in the same location as fn on the full size keyboard)
Is there a way to run a specified script or program when the screen is locked or unlocked? Ideally a bash function or an AppleScript.
Is there an event that I could subscribe to that would allow me to do that? Or an existing app that supports this?
One of the nicest features of the new OS integration between iOS 8 and Yosemite is the ability to text and receive phone calls from my iPhone while on my Mac.
However, when I work from home, I need to use Cisco AnyConnect to create a VPN network. When the VPN network is active, I can see phone calls from my iPhone on my Mac, but answering the call on my Mac will cause the call to disconnect. Trying to call from my Mac will show the dialog box that I am connecting, but the iPhone never responds. If I am on a call on my Mac, and start up the VPN, the call disconnects.
I have a 2014 13" MacBook Pro and an iPhone 5S both running the latest OS with all the patches.
What is going on, and is there a way to fix the problem?
I have been using Dreamweaver for many years simply because it has a built in FTP manager. This makes working on a website very efficient.
The code editor isn't all that great but I manage with it ok.
However I now have a problem in that Dreamweaver does not support key authentication on any of it's versions.
I am having to access a website that will only allow access using a key, passwords are off limits.
I have had a look around and there doesn't seem to be a solution.
I need a terminal command to delete all images (*.jpg, *.png, *.gif, *.JPG, *.PNG, *.GIF) stored in myfolder and its subfolders, preserving the folders structure. I do not need to move them to trash folder.

I have currently no power connection to my MacBook Air, but I have a Display connected. I want to close the lid and only work on my external display.
So I want to prevent my MacBook going to StandBy when I close the lid. When I have the power cable connected, it will just switch to the bigger screen. But when the connector isn't attached, it will go to sleep.
How to prevent going to StandBy if no power connector is attached? Any app or terminal command?
I am running OS X Yosemite on a MacBook Air mid-2011.
so, my iphone 4s has bootloop after i do change the lockscreen text with ifile that change the springboard.string permission
maybe it was wrong/invalid because after i respring the device,it keep show the apple boot logo (bootloop)
can anyone help to solve? Thanks.
I have the Mac Mini late 2014 and want to hook up 3 monitors in total. It works great with 2 displays (1x Thunderbolt + 1x HDMI). Once I add a third monitor to the second Thunderbolt port, just nothing happens. What can I do to get my third monitor working?
I've got an early 2011 15" Macbook pro running Yosemite. Few weeks ago, when I turned it on, it didn't proceed to load after the apple logo. I've looked up for solutions on apple support community for similar issues and as they suggested, I've done all the PRAM and SMC resets. But no luck. Then I opened up the bootcamp partition thinking that it would work. But it's still the same deal, but this time I've got bit more info on the error. On windows boot up, I've got a blue screen with the error message "attempting to reset display drivers and recover from timeout failed". I then booted up windows safe mode and updated the AMD graphic driver. No luck. Then I disabled it and let the computer run on Intel graphics. On windows, it works but with stretched out graphics and Mac is still the same. I guess what's on windows won't affect the Mac partition. So I'm thinking that this is actually a hardware issue, but again, I'm not entirely sure.
Therefore, I'd like to get your opinion on how to go about fixing this issue,
Thank you

Is it possible to also save playback videos on your fone and be able to social media?.. Or are there any apps that I could use to save playback videos?.. I'm using iPhone6 plus.. Thank you in advance..
I'm curious if it would still be possible to develop for the iphone with a non mac laptop. Assume I buy some sort of "mac in the cloud" solution (they exist), can I download apps I'm developing onto my ios devices from xcode on this "remote mac" via my icloud/developer account or do I need physical access to a mac (usb cable) to do that?
This answer seems to indicate that it's not possible to load apps onto local devices from a remote mac, but he's not sure: http://ift.tt/1tJnmWU
Is there any way to assign tilda as system-wide shortcut for command-tab to switch back and forth between two recent open apps?

I have installed OS X Yosemite on my 2 computers. One is working fine but the other doesn't show any audio output devices and can't change the sound effects also. The startup sound is still there. I have tried few things but nothing is working for me. I don't want to backup the data and reinstall because I have some important software which I don't want to reinstall. Please help me to solve the problem.
My MacBook Pro was stolen recently. I had it encrypted using Filevault and it required my password for login after woken from sleep.
My password however is just a word of three letters, not abc, def or klm but more like tfj, ksa, ale, etc...
My question is this can they still access my files in any way? Via the guest access maybe or by breaking the password?
Greatly appreciate your answers.
I have been trying to decide if there will be a substantial difference between the i5 and i7 processor for compiling and running VMs. I expect to run Windows with Visual Studio in a VM as well as a lot of XCode.
I looked at the Geekbench3 and pulled out the following figures from the averaged charts at Primate labs comparing the two Macbooks against my current desktop.
Benchmark 13” i5 2.8 GHz 13” i7 3.0 GHz iMac 2.5Ghz i5 21” Mid-2011
64 bit multi-core 6880 7209 10073
64 bit single-core 3294 3466 2663
32 bit multi-core 6151 6373 7103
32 bit single-core 3131 2971 2466
XCode can compile using multiple cores as can Visual Studio (at least if I boot with Bootcamp, not sure if will work under a VM).
Note that a common mistake is for people to think the i7 in the 13" Macbooks is a 4 core - it's not - both the i5 and i7 in 13" Macbooks are dual-core. The difference is the i7 adds hyperthreading. (The 15" i7 model is quad core.)
The other difference that may be very significant is the 3MB vs 4MB cache.

There are several different parts of the Wall that are open to the public. These are Simatai, Badaling, and Mutieyu. Teach one offers something different - Simatai is the older, wilder, more broken down part of the wall, and you can get some fabulous hikes there without encountering many people. Badaling and Mutieyu are both touristy, but are more convenient and accessible.
Beijing travel , one of the six ancient cities in China, boasts time-honored history, profound culture and captivating scenery, which mesmerize uncountable visitors annually. Take a walk on the world-renowned Great Wall and have a bird-eye-view of its zigzagging among the rolling hills. Visit the overwhelming Forbidden City and discover the ancient imperial times of China .
I want to add a 5TB HD (NTFS) to my time capsule. I have both Mac and PC's and will like to access the drive from both. I can see that the drive is attached in airport utility on my windows pc but I can't access it(probably because of the NTFS partition). I am not seeing anything at all in airport utility on my Mac (probably because it's not in HFS+ format). I think I can partition the drive into two drives, one NTFS and the other HFS+ but I will only do that if it's my only choice. I would rather have access to everything from both Mac and PC............
HELP!!!
I just created a poster in Pages (which I absolutely regret doing) and am trying to print it. The Pages "print" dialog variably either gives me an error (which I can't reproduce now) or prints part of the page instead of scaling it or produces mangled junk.
If I export to PDF or print to PDF, I get junk out again. Specifically, some text boxes (but not all) are missing and some text boxes are in dramatically different locations (moved across the page, changed shape). The missing components seem to change with each export. Preview, adobe reader, and my printer all agree about the missing/moved components, so I think the PDF export is the point of failure.
Is there any way to recover my poster into a printable format?
When I click on a folder and open it, this is what I see:
In the top bar you see two question marks and two blue folders.
These occur in the top bar of every folder. How do I remove them?
(The question marks are folders that I have trashed and deleted.)
I jailbreaked (not for pirates) my iPad 4 (iOS 8.1) several weeks ago and found it unable to ssh root@127.0.0.1 via Prompt 1 or 2 on iPad. Even I cannot connect via LAN IP (e.g. 192.186.X.X). However, there's no problem if I ssh root@LAN IP on my iPhone or Mac in the same LAN.
By the way, I was able to ssh root@localhost on jailbreaked iPad when it was running iOS 6.1. It is also okay if I have already ssh logged in to iPad on my Mac, and ssh root@127.0.0.1 again.
the output of netstat on iPad:
Surface-Pro:~ root# netstat -a|grep ssh
tcp4 0 0 surface-pro.ssh fdb713-arch.47861 ESTABLISHED
tcp4 0 0 *.ssh . LISTEN
Does anyone know the reason that iPad cannot connect to itself in apps? (Maybe sandbox/containers model has been changed since iOS 8?)
I'm seeking an equivalent of a common Linux based process monitor, which shows a history graph for each CPU core. This can help identify programs that are effectively using all the cores (here, Google Chrome). Is there a way to get Apple system monitor to do this?
