In Xcode 6 how do you develop an App that gets the user's core location?


I want to develop an App that first you press Start then you walk with your iPhone then press Stop and it should find out how much you walked using GPS and then comparing the two locations at when you pressed Start and Stop.


I want to know first is this possible and how would you get the latitude and the longitude of the user (also known as the core location)?


Thanks in advance, BTW if this isn't the right community please tell me (w/ link) where to go and post this.





Is there an OS X Jabber client compatible with Cisco Jabber?


Is there any client or method to connect to Cisco Jabber in OS X? My company uses this and I hate to keep checking my RDP'd Windows screen just for Jabber when I'm working remotely.


I know there's the official Cisco Jabber client for OS X, but it requires a contract number to download. I know that itself makes it unlikely, but this historically had always worked under iChat (10.7), and under Messages.app (10.8). I'm currently using 10.10 and have tried all manner of settings under Messages.app and even Adium and can't get it to authenticate (matching server names and settings against the official Cisco Jabber client).


Has anyone been able to connect to Cisco Jabber via any third-party methods on a Mac?

In fact its like using a mobile phone used as a PA system. Can anyone help?

Cmd-` switches between windows of the active app, but it doesn't work if the windows are full-screen.


According to this question, this was enabled in Yosemite if the windows are on separate monitors. Great!


Is there any keyboard shortcut that switches between full-screen windows on a single monitor?

Spotlight does not seem to work in finding apps


I have a Spotlight to search for the applications.

However, nothing shows up when I searched the application.

What might be wrong? I use Yosemite, and I made sure that spotlight works with this command.

I could make partitions with Disk Utility.app, but I can't make them Linux formatted with the utility. How can I format the partition in Linux format?

double superscript in keynote


Is there a way to do a double superscript/subscript in keynote?


I mean superscript of a superscript, e.g., (in latex notation) $a^{2^n}$.





Trying to restart a MacBook Pro that went off by itself with a battery that indicated "Service Battery"?


My daughter's MacBook Pro (Late 2011 model) just went off while she was using it.


Battery was reporting that it required servicing, so apparently, she was pushing it.


After it went black, it would not turn on anymore, even though it said the battery was full (before it went off) and the charger was plugged in.


Now when the charger is plugged in, the charge light flickers very faintly or is a constant faint green (really faint). The charger is good because it can charge my son's MacBook Pro just fine and shows a bright orange while charging.


We've tried long power button holds to force a restart, but nothing seems to work.





ipad music player crash


The music player on my iPad iOS 8.1.2 has started crashing. After playing half a dozen songs or so the music player stops completely. This is very recent behaviour. Whether the music is downloaded or cloud does not make a difference. All music is in my iTunes account.


I have rebooted the machine (let the battery run down to force a restart) but that has not fixed the music player. How can I restore normal music player function?





Music App forgets what it was doing


When resuming music playback after a break (10 minutes, few days, another app playing content) it ignores whatever playlist, album, artist or other refinement was placed on the music list and simply plays at random from the entire library.


Is there a way to set it so that resuming playback will resume in the playlist it was last playing? If the music app is opened directly, it remembers where it was, so why not when using the play button on the lock screen, or when attaching a Bluetooth device, or plugging it into a speaker?


For example, I was playing Christmas music on a speaker system at home. I unplugged the iPod 5, went out to my car, automatically paired to the Apple compatible in dash Bluetooth and resumed playback. It picked up where it left off in the same song it was playing, but showed the number of songs in the entire library (not the playlist) and shuffled to another song in the library after the current song, not in the previously loaded playlist. I had to unlock the iPod, open the music app, return to the main screen, select playlists, select the desired playlist, select a song and then play. That's a lot of steps to resume playing a music playlist on a music playing device (especially while driving).


For another example, I was listening to a playlist using the built in speaker of my iPod 5. I took a phone call, so I swiped up and pressed pause. While on the phone, I used another app, then set the iPod down. After the phone call, I pressed the home button and simply pressed play on the lock screen. Same as above, it resumed the song it was on, but then randomly went off to another song not in the playlist. Upon unlocking and loading the music app, it wasn't in playlist anymore, but simply shuffling the entire library.





Quickly remove badge from app


Is it possible to quickly remove a notification badge from an app in the Dock? I'm looking for a solution faster than opening the app itself and performing whatever task is required to mark the notification as read.


In some apps, clearing the badge is quick and easy, but others require a bit more persuasion or actual action. For example, the App Store badge is useful as it tells me that updates are available, but once I'm aware of this, I don't need the badge any more. Unfortunately, clearing the badge requires installing/ignoring the updates, which I may not want to do immediately. A quick way to remove just the badge would be very useful.


I would prefer something scriptable, but GUI scripting is not out of the scope.





Spotify Offline Mode: do I need to launch the app within 30 days? (when I'm online)


If I use Spotify in Offline Mode on my iPad, I need to go online within 30 days or I will lose the offline songs.


But do I need to open the spotify app when the device does have internet connection, or can I just leave it close, and it will automatically inform the server?


In other words, do I need to take care about it and open the app when I do have connection, or this is done silently in background as soon as I connect to the internet (even with the app close) ?





Read dead iPhone's files?


I have a broken iPhone 4S with iOS 8.1.1 jailbroken. It fell a lot, and the battery connector (I forgot to screw it back in) ripped out of it and the screen is broken so even if I place it and hold it with my fingers against the pins, it turns on but the screen is not possible to see as it just flickers. It also does not turn on all the way and right when it does, it just restarts so I can't connect it to my computer.


Question, how can I actually read the iPhone's HDD? Is it built in the motherboard? Is there anyway to buy something that would connect to it to read the files?


The reason for this is, I have about 300 songs on there and a lot of photos and the music has been copied to a different folder from Filza. I am comfortable taking the phone apart, it actually is apart right now pretty much and I just need help reading the files of a dead iPhone.





Some favourites on Maps on iPad doesn't work

Macbook won't sleep with VGA monitor connected


My macbook pro will not sleep with a VGA monitor connected, via a MiniDisplayport to VGA adapter. When I close the lid, all of the windows shift over to the second screen, and the light on the macbook continues to stay solid (rather than pulsing like it usually does when the monitor is not plugged in).


I can unplug it, but it is a nuisance and I'm wondering if there's a way to fix it.





External Monitor's USB ports don't work


I have connected an external monitor to my macbook pro through a thunderbolt vga adapter. The monitor has several USB ports on it and if I plug a mouse or keyboard into them, they will not work. Is there a fix for this?





un-syncing photos


I have my mac, i-phone, and -pad synced so that my photos from one device show up on the others. I would like to delete all photos from my phone and start again, so that I only have my camera roll (starting anew) and a folder of hand-selected photos from my computer on my phone (which I would also like to then show up automatically on my i-pad). I would also like to keep all of the photos from my i-phone just on my computer (i-photo) so that I have a copy of them all.





Is there an easy way to delete duplicate HealthKit data?


Not sure if this is a Withings problem or a HealthKit problem but I've got identical entries repeating between 4 and 10 times in my dataset. This might explain why it takes so long to read "all recorded data".





Text editor quotation mark woes


In text editor my quotation marks keep getting replaced by non unicode versions.


So if I am editing an XML document the double vertical line type quotation mark keeps getting auto-replaced by the curly type that breaks the XML document.

Microsoft Remothe Desktop through proxy



  • Microsoft Remote Desktop app V. 8.0.12.

  • OS: OS X Yosemite 10.10.1


I have a Web and HTTP proxy set up for internet filtering, but the name of my computer (to connect to) is not included in the proxy whitelist. Instead, the proxy is set up to allow all local connections, by not going through the proxy.


I can tell RDC (Remote Desktop Connection) is going through the proxy, since it is asking for my credentials stored in the keychain.


My question: How can I set up RDC to not go through the proxy.


Any help is appreciated!





Adding "local" to the DNS Search Domains has no effect


I have a Mac Mini (Yosemite) on my local network and it's not running a DNS server at all. When I want to access it over SSH from a Terminal on my Macbook Air (Yosemite), I can type:



$ ssh myserver.local


And that works fine.


But I wanted to avoid having to type the ".local" domain every time, so I added the "local" domain to the Search Domains list in Network Settings (for my Wi-Fi adapter which is the one currently in use in my MBA).


If I then try:



$ ssh myserver


that doesn't work (Could not resolve hostname).


Any idea why?

Sandvox: Only reachable within local network


I have several Mac Minis using several OS (10.7.2-Intel Core 2 Duo, 10.8.5-Intel Core i5, 10.5.8-Power PC, 10.9.5-Intel Core i5, 10.6.8-Intel Core 2 Duo). I am using serving pages from all and built the sites using Sandvox. Until a couple of weeks ago everything was running fine. Also using DynDNS. Recently i modified some info on several and now Sandvox replies:


Only reachable within local network


Every pertinent port in the router is open… internally the page is webserved…

thank you for your time and knowledge





any Virtual Ipad/Iphone applications for PC that has network connections?


I am looking for a virtual emulation of an Ipad or Iphone that I can run on a PC machine so I can create video tutorials on things such as setting up our corporate email or how to connect the devices to our network. I have found some applications via Google and youtube, but so far they do not support a network connection. I know there are android emulators that do this, but haven't found an IOs one. If anyone could point me in the direction of one it would be greatly appreciated.


I would prefer free software, but am willing to pay as long as its in a reasonable price range.


Thanks.





How to access the full capacity of hard drives larger than 2TB with iOS?


Last week, I bought a 4TB hard drive to connect to my MacBook pro. My quest to have access to all the 4TB on my Mac was more difficult than expected.


After a lot of experimenting, I managed to create an exFat partition of 4TB. (For people who want to replicate my approach: I connected the hd using sata-cables to another computer, and booted the computer from a Windows 8.1 dvd. Next, I created the exFat partition using the partition manager on the dvd. When I started Windows 8, the disk manager showed me that I only had created a partition of 1.8TB. I removed this partition, and created a new one of 4TB. Next, I had access to the full 4TB of my new drive)


Since Mac also supports exFat, I figured I should be able to see the partition I created on Windows. This turned out to be wrong. When I connected the hd to my Mac using a docking station, the hd was visible in the disk manager, but there were no partitions associated with it.


Now comes the strange part. When I run a Windows 7 virtual machine and connect the hd to this virtual machine, I have full access to the full 4TB.


The only conclusion I can draw at this moment is that iOS Yosemite does not support hard drives larger than 2TB.


I would like to know if other Mac-users have had more success than me in connecting a hard drive larger than 2TB to their Mac.





Making changes to the Modern Lines theme in Aperture


I've been using Aperture for a while and am at a stage where I would like to put a book together using the built in software. From the few online reviews I can find, it seems to be a very high quality service.


Modern Lines is the theme that works best for me, but as with all the themes, there are some layouts that leave a lot to be desired.


A good example of what I'm trying to achieve is to take the "4 up" page and instead of being four 6x4 landscape photos, make it more like 2 16x9 landscape photos and 2 6x4 portrait photos.


so from:

This is easy enough to do with the actual photo boxes, but the grid lines between the photos just don't seem to be editable. I can scale the grid, but not re-size. Hoping someone can give me an idea on how to handle this situation or is it just a case of finding another tool/theme that can do this?


iPhoto seems to handle the situation with photos better (but not perfectly) by re-sizing the photo boxes to be the correct orientation, but I guess Aperture gives you much greater control over these things and so doesn't take care of this for you.





iPhone 5 won't start after an iTunes recovery


I shut down my iPhone 5 phone in the middle of an iTunes purchase download.


I went to an At&T store and they reset the phone. After three hours the phone went blue. Phone will not turn back on now after doing the recovery via iTunes on the computer. The download did complete. At this point I can get the apple logo to show but that is all.





How to install MacPorts on user-only account?


On my Mac I use an Admin and an everyday User account (without admin / sudo privileges). Currently I am setting up a new Yosemite system and found that after installing MacPorts (using its installer), I cannot do sudo operations, such as sudo port selfupdate. In the user account it tells me that it does not have sufficient privileges and on the admin account the command port is not found.


So I am wondering what is the correct way to set up MacPorts on OS X? Should I install it rather on the Admin instead of the User account? Or is there some other way to use it from the User account?





How to install the 2014 NTP security fix on 10.6.8 Snow Leopard


For 10.6.8 would it work to open the 10.8 NTP update.dmg with pacifist and put in the new versions of the following 6 files?:



/usr/bin/sntp
/usr/bin/ntp-keygen
/usr/bin/ntpq
/usr/sbin/ntpdc
/usr/sbin/ntpdate
/usr/sbin/ntpd


I am not sure about including the ntptrace file that was in the 10.8 sbin directory. What does it do? Also what would the appropriate chown command be to get these files properly recognized?





What happens to iOS Apps when you turn OFF Family Sharing?


I have Family Sharing turned on currently, but no longer wish all my family's purchases to come from the one credit card.


As some iOS apps have been bought for the benefit of the whole family, what happens to these apps if I were to turn off the Family Sharing feature?


I note that any In-App Purchases will not be shared (which is fine), but:



  1. Will the apps continue to reside on all the other people's phones and be updatable etc?

  2. Presuming 1. to be "Yes", what happens if in the future they remove it from their phone, but then want it back again?

  3. Does it show as purchased on their accounts?

  4. If the answer to 3 is "no", would turning Family Sharing back on temporarily solve this?


Thanks in advance.

How to print iCloud contact list

Can I create symbolic links in OS X which also work in Windows/Linux and vice versa?


I'm synchronizing a folder structure between my MacBook (OS X 10.6) and a PC with Windows XP (soon Linux or Windows 7).


My problem is that Windows shortcuts or OS X aliases seem to be unusable on the other system, so those symbolic links can not be synchronized with the other machine.



  • Is there a common format for symbolic links which works on all 3 operating systems (Windows, OS X, Linux)?

  • Can I convert the existing aliases and Windows shortcuts to this format?





Duplicate icons in Applications Dock


A picture is worth a thousand words.


enter image description here


I have a shortcut (not sure what the official word for this is) to my Applications folder in my Dock.


When opening it, I see multiple copies of the icon "Xcode.app".


If I "open in finder", I only see one. If I open the launchpad I also only see one.


Don't mind the folder called "Xcode 5", I added this only yesterday while this multi-icon bug has been there for over a month....

Force Messages to send as SMS on Yosemite


I have an iPhone with iOS 8 and a Mac with Yosemite, which means I can send SMS messages from my Mac (which I absolutely love). However there are some special cases that it doesn't handle as I would like it to.


For instance, my sister has an iPad with iMessage set up, but she uses an Android phone (i.e. no iMessage). If I try to send her a message from my Mac, it usually (not sure if always) sends to her iMessage account. This is a problem since she doesn't always have her iPad with her so sometimes she doesn't see my message for a long time. On my phone my messages with her are split into two threads, one for iMessages and one for SMS messages, so I always reply to the correct address. However, on the Mac they are merged into one thread. So sometimes she sends me a SMS from her phone, which I receive on the Mac, but when I reply it sends an iMessage.


Is there a way to either force Messages on the Mac to send to a specific address or to split the thread as it is on the iPhone?





Why does Finder see volumes which are not under /Volumes?


If I navigate as high as possible in Finder (under 10.10.2, but this did not appear only recently), I see this window, with many volumes which are long unmounted, ejected and erased. Screenshot of highest folder in Finder But if I tried to look around in the Terminal to potentially delete these, it only found the reasonable ones:



Laszlo-Sandors-MacBook-Pro:Volumes laszlosandor$ ls -la
total 24

Disk Utility only sees Macintosh HD.

iOS Developer Program shut for the holidays?


I registered for the program during the weekend and noted that there are a two business day waiting period. I also noticed that iTunes connect is shut during the holidays, does the same apply to the developer program or is it business as usual? Besides new years day ;0)





Can [Update Needed] be removed without disabling/enabling FileVault?


I have an additional user [Update Needed] appear on login screen at every boot, which doesn't affect usability but a bit annoying. I googled for solution, but all of them are just disabling and enabling FileVault again. That would be time-consuming, somewhat harmful to the SSD, and would leave bits of sensitive data unencrypted on the disk. Is there any other way? Like some terminal commands?
