Share iCloud Family Calendar with Outlook


My wife and I use the iCloud shared Family calendar for scheduling family events. I would like to be able to view this calendar from my work Outlook account. Is there some way to share the calendar with non-Apple calendar applications?

How do I transfer my entire itunes library (retaining the original music playlists) from my iPad iOS 5.1


How do I transfer my entire itunes library (including the specific music playlists) from my original iPad iOS 5.1 via wifi to my new Macbook air with Yosemite?


The bulk of my music library is CD's that I have imported manually.


I have authorized both computers in the iTunes account tab.


I tried hooking my iPad, via it's USB cord, to the Macbook Air's USB port. The iPad does pop up in iTunes, but I am not sure what to do next to permanently import all of the iPad's music, ibooks, movies etc. into the iTunes on my Macbook air.





How do I mount a network drive based on my IP address or wifi network?


When I am at work, I mount a number of shared drives to use during the day. At home, I mount drives on my home network for home use. Is there a way that I can automatically mount the correct drives based on the network I am connected to? Ideally I would do this based on IP address, as I connect via Ethernet cable at work.


Is it necessary to use AppleScript or a shell script? I have tools like Hazel and Keyboard Maestro at my disposal.


Thank you.





All my Folder and Application icons disappeared in Finder


I've been using Yosemite happily since it was released, but yesterday all my icons disappeared. See the attached screenshots. My dock only shows the icon for the Finder, and within Finder itself none of the icons for applications or folders show up. The only thing that seems to work is thumbnail previews for things like Word documents, PDFs and image files.


enter image description here enter image description here


These are some things I tried already:



  • rm -rf ~/Library/Caches/* and sudo rm -rf /Library/Caches/*

  • rm ~/Library/Application\ Support/Dock/*.db && killall -HUP Finder Dock

  • rm ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.finder.plist

  • I tried booting in Safe Mode, the problem persists there.

  • I even tried reinstalling the OS and for some reason the problem still exists.

  • Unfortunately I can't log in as a different user, this is a company mac and my login is our network login.


I'm at a total loss. What can I do? The only thing I can think of that I changed recently was uninstalling an app called Bitcasa by manually removing some of its application files, including /Applications/Bitcasa.app, ~/Library/Preferences/com.bitcasa, ~/Library/LaunchAgents/com.bitcasa.Bitcasa.plist, ~/Library/ScriptingAdditions/BitcasaIntegration.osax, ~/Library/Caches/com.bitcasa.Bitcasa, and ~/Library/Application Support/com.bitcasa.Bitcasa.





Contact picture becomes enlarged after setting it in iPhone.


I've noticed that after setting up a contact picture inside the circle template, the picture after some seconds becomes enlarged.


The problem with this is that if your contact's picture is mostly their face you end up with only a nose after it is enlarged.


I doubt it is a size problem because one of the pictures I'm having this problem with, was taken with the iPhone's 1.2 MP front camera.





How do I disable Image Capture (Yosemite) from automatically launching when I plug in my SD card?


I used to be able to disable it in iPhoto but now iPhoto is not part of the OS, I don't want to download iPhoto to just use it to disable itself and Image Capture. Any way to kill the auto pop out feature?

I was a wiz with iMovie 11 - now completely an idiot with 10.0.6 - can't do simple things. help!


I was so proficient with iMovie '11 -- made more than 200 short videos. Now I'm with iMovie 10.0.6 which crashes a lot, and everything is different. I tried to follow the directions above, but when I click on "Window" there is no "Show Adjustments Bar" for me to click on, so I'm lost. Or just having a senior moment?


What I want to do is make all the still photos in a project the same length to start, then make adjustments. I can't figure out how to do that. I can highlight all the stills, but nothing more than that. If I try to adjust one by itself by dragging the two-headed arrow to the left or right, then hit play, when it comes to that photo it stops dead. The audio goes on and on but the picture is frozen. If I try to adjust it back to the original length it was, it still stops dead on the photo. The only way to keep the vertical line moving is to delete the offending photo. That's not good. I'm getting so frustrated I'm deleting perfectly good photos because I can't figure out what else to do.


How could I have been so good with iMovie 11 and now creating total crap? Can anyone help? Why do they change things for no good reason? I used to be able to make copy appear and disappear slowly -- it was very effective -- but can't do that anymore. Spent a whole afternoon at the Fifth Avenue store and nobody there could figure it out either. What gives, Apple?





How to run OS X on ext4?


I'd like to install OS X on an ext4 filesystem, not hfs. How can this be done? I've looked at the Apple site, but, of course, it won't say anything about that.





Why google drive create so many conflict files


I have a window system and a mac. When I create a file (e.g. a.cpp) in my window (with vim), google drive create a lots of files like a (1).cpp , a (2).cpp ...

Some of them are delete by google drive after it create them. Some are not.


Why google drive generate so many files?


Also a.cpp is not the same as a.cpp in windows. a (2).cpp in mac is the same as a.cpp in windows in some cases.


Why the same files have different content?


When I check the access right of files, it should something like -rw------ .................. a.cpp However when I create a file b.cpp in mac it is -rw-r--r- .................. b.cpp


Is it because of the accessing privilege problem?

Mac preview crash everytime when searching


I would like to ask if you encountered similar error, and what have you done to solve it.



When I open multiple PDF files in Preview ( mainly text), and then search for some common substring like building, typing firstly b, then u, then i, then l, and usually preview crashes after typing 4-5 characters.



I emphasize I have opened 10-13 pdfs,(one is max 2 pages long), and it crashes everytime when I try to search by aforementioned method. Has it happened to you and how did you solve it? I submited a bug report to apple anyway.

Problem seeing shared drive when connected via 802.11ac


I have a late 2013 Macbook Pro Retina, with the current update of Yosemite, and I have an odd problem. To be honest, I'm not sure if it's laptop related, or somehow related to my router.


The issue is, when I am connected to my wireless network via 802.11ac, I can't see a shared drive that is connected to my router via ethernet. However, when connected via 802.11n, I can see it just fine.


For the sake of clarity, when I say "see my shared drive", I mean when I open Finder, I see the shared drive listed in the left hand menu under "Shared", I can navigate it's file system, etc.


My router is an Asus RT-AC68U, and the shared drive is a Bubba B3 (basically, a Debian based media server). This is frustrating, as I have to shut off 5ghz on my router to do backups via Time Machine. Regardless of what protocol my MPB is using to connect, the laptop and the shared drive are on the same network, and in the same subnet. I can connect to the B3 via ssh, and I suppose I could just do a tar based, command line backup of my MPB and scp it over to the B3, but I'd really rather use Time Machine, as it does what it's supposed to do quite well.


Any thoughts?

Build failure on Mavericks


I am unable to build my project on Mavericks. I have a MacBook Pro with OS X 10.9.5(13F34).


I am hitting this error. fatal error: 'assert.h' file not found


I already searched the net & saw many people hitting this issue. The solution for this issue is to try "xcode-select --install" & then build. Unfortunately, this solution is not working for me. Every time I try this, I end up downloading the Command Line Tools (OS X 10.9) Version 6.0 & 6.1 but the subsequent build fails with the same problem as earlier.


I have already downloaded the Command Line Tools several times. enter image description here


I have added a screen shot of my App Store which shows that I have downloaded Command Line Tools Version 6.0 & 6.1 several times today.


Any help, regarding this issue would be highly appreciated.


Thanks. Ganesh





Can I copy files between 2 different iTunes libraries within iTunes?


I want to create 2 iTunes libraries on my Windows 7 PC so that my wife and I can separate our music and more easily sync to different iPods. However, we also want to be able to share some of the music between the 2 libraries.


First question: Is the current default iTunes library folder located at \Libraries\Music\iTunes?


Question 2: If I allow iTunes to create duplicates of all the music from the original library in the new library, will I then have 2 physical copies of all music files on my hard drive?


Question 3: Based on what I have read so far, it appears that the only way to copy music from one library to another is by exporting from one library to an external location and then importing into the other directory from that external location. Is this correct? If not, please clarify.





Bind a series of keystrokes to a hotkey


I want to take a sequence of keypresses (including modifiers) and define a single keyboard shortcut to execute the sequence. Can I do that?


I use OneNote for Mac. Notebook navigation by keyboard kinda sucks. In particular there's no easy way to move between tabs on a given notebook.


OneNote lets me press ctrl-tab twice to move focus to the tabset, arrow up or down to select a tab, and shift-ctrl-tab twice to put focus back on the page. I'd like to define shortcuts for a previous-tab and a next-tab action.


Automator doesn't seem to let me define keyboard shortcuts as steps in a process. Am I getting into AppleScript territory here? Are there any third-party tools that'll help?


Ideally I'd like the shortcut keys to only work in OneNote.





Why won't video from ffmpeg show in QuickTime, iMovie or quick preview?


I've been using ffmpeg for the occasional video conversion for quite some time, and recently discovered that H.264 (libx264) videos generated by ffmpeg aren't working in iMovie or QuickTime (nor will they play or show a preview in Finder with the quick view feature).


If I generate videos using OS X applications which internally use ffmpeg (e.g. MP4tools or Adapter) the videos work fine, but not when I try to use ffmpeg directly, e.g. to convert a video:



# ffmpeg -i input.avi output.mp4


or to combine some images into a video:



# ffmpeg -f image2 -pattern_type sequence image-%04d.png output.mp4


iMovie just imports the video as black/blank, quick preview just shows the file info, (but no video preview), and Quicktime tells me it cannot play it:


document could not be opened


What's going on?!





iphone 6: calendar will not open on 'empty' day when adding events


Since upgrading to an iPhone 6 I'm finding adding new events to my calendar to be a problem. The calendar does not open to the day I press on the full calendar if it is already empty. So there's no way to add (+) an event on an empty day, it defaults to the next day with something already scheduled. Is there a way to directly go the date I want to enter an event into?

Missing photos from iPhoto


Some of my photos disappeared from iPhoto recently. I did not delete them or format the hard drive. I have been a mac user since 2003 and am fully aware of the mac os and how it stores files. However this issue is new to me I have searched all system folders and packaged contents of iPhotos but the folders are missing? and they are not in the trash can either. Its like there is no record of the photos ever being uploaded except for a blank event in iPhoto events where the photos were originally uploaded and I could view them. Not all photos are missing only the most recent upload. I do not have time machine backups, so can't use this method to recover files, as I have just purchased a new macbook pro and haven't got round to setting up time machine yet (I should have known better). I tried using a 3rd party data scan software package and the software can locate the missing photos! however it will charge me to recover these photos. I don't feel I should pay for a 3rd party solution, because if a 3rd party data recovery package can identify the missing photos, why can't my mac os? has anyone experienced this problem? and are there any data recovery options I have overlooked to restore the photos without using a 3rd party software package?





Battery Cycles being used very fast


I am using a 13-inch mid 2014 MacBook Pro with Retina Display. It is about 3 weeks old and already has clocked 13 charge cycles. Is this too high ? Also, I follow the practice of fully charging it and then using till about 40% before recharging without ever leaving it plugged in. Is this the best practice to follow or should I leave it plugged in while charging ?


Thanks





Increasing Swap Size on a Mac


I've been building a Neural Network that analyzes large amounts of data (40G), and my iMac kills the process after it's been running for about a day. In the past, on Linux, I've created a large swap file to get around memory limitations. How can I increasing the swap limit on my mac so my processes that use large amounts of memory don't get killed?





Can I move the OS X that was preinstalled on my MacBook pro to a VM running on the MacBook Pro?


I would like to run linux as the primary operating system on my MacBook Pro to replace the OS X that was pre-installed with the MacBook.


I would then like to run OS X inside a virtualbox guest running on the MacBook.



  1. Is this configuration legal from a licensing perspective?

  2. My mac book was pre-installed and there wasn't an installation CD in the box. How can I get the OS X installation image for installing into Virtualbox?


UPDATE: I have NOT purchased a copy of OS X, and I do not wish to purchase one either :)





I can't remember my iTunes password and the email it's tied to is no longer active


I have been trying for months to log into my iTunes account on my iPad but my usual choices of passwords are not working. When choosing "forgot my password" it wants to email me at an old Verizon.net address that has been long disabled. Before arriving at the security questions it prompts me for my birthdate, of which it too says is invalid...I'm at a loss. I know my birthdate is correct but I am stuck. Is there any way to find out the password when the email it is tied to is long gone? I even attempted to start over by creating an entirely new Apple account but I can't reset my iPad without the old password. Aargh! Please help





I Pad Mini Pad keypad


I recently was given a mini keyboard for my Mini Ipad for Christmas. I was able to do all the pairing with bluetooth.

So any way is there something that I am not doing right.

Share iCloud Family Calendar with Outlook

KVM Suggestion?


I need to get a large rack mountable, 16 port or larger, cascadable, VGA KVM that works with Macs. I've tried the iogear GCS1716, which claims mac support, but refuses to display video from my xserves or minis. Support says it's because of the mini displayport to VGA adapters. I've tried Apple official ones and third party. Since no modern Macs come with VGA built-in, it seems iogear's attitude is "Sure, Apple devices are supported. Unless you do the thing required to actually use them. Then, they are not supported.". Natch.


I have another KVM from another brand that escapes me at the moment that works fine, but it not cascadable, so we have out grown it.


Any suggestions would be appreciated.


EDIT - I've discovered since posting this that if the Apple machine is the only one plugged into the KVM it works fine. Go Fig.


EDIT 2 - I've now also discovered that if nothing is plugged into port 1, then Apple machines work fine, so long as you don't switch to a PC. Then you have to reset the KVM to get the Apple machines working again.

iTunes and XCode not recognising devices after disconnected, until restart


I have a problem which requires I regularly restart my iMac, up to several times a day, to get devices recognised.


When I re-connect a device, iPhone, iPad or iPod, I regularly get the message:


iTunes could not connect to this iPhone. This device is no longer connected.


They no longer show up as active devices in XCode.


When I plug a phone in, it asks me to confirm it should Trust this computer but that doesn't make any difference.


Note that this is on re-connection. The devices are fine up until the point when I disconnect them. That doesn't change whether I "eject" them from iTunes or not.


Modal nature of problem


It seems that after this problem has started occurring, plugging any new devices in suffers a similar problem.


The problem survived a system restore from backup, which returned some 50GB of space to me. It originally showed up in Mavericks and I have since done an in-place upgrade to Yosemite. It's a [mid-2011 iMac 21.5"][1] with four USB ports.


The problem occurs regardless of whether the devices are connected directly into a USB port on the iMac or via the keyboard's extra ports. The devices are all getting power and show up on the System Report as being connected, eg:

How to choose an LMS?


The question is, how to choose the best LMS. Here the number of LMS’s on the market today is almost staggering, and new ones are popping up every week. I tried very popular "Moodle" and "Docebo" and not so popular LMS, but very intresting. I don't want to make a mistake, the relationship between LMS price and functionality is not linear. Any recommendations?





mac os x - usb hid - how the receive device added / device removed callbacks?


I'm a beginner at programming on mac os x.


I am following this tutorial.


And I have this program:



#include <stdio.h>
#include <IOKit/hid/IOHIDManager.h>
#include <IOKit/hid/IOHIDKeys.h>
#include <CoreFoundation/CoreFoundation.h>

static void Handle_DeviceMatchingCallback(void *inContext, IOReturn inResult, void *inSender, IOHIDDeviceRef inIOHIDDeviceRef)
{
puts("YAY Handle_DeviceMatchingCallback");
}

static void Handle_DeviceRemovalCallback(void *inContext, IOReturn inResult, void *inSender, IOHIDDeviceRef inIOHIDDeviceRef)
{
puts("YAY Handle_DeviceRemovalCallback");
}

int main()
{
IOHIDManagerRef HIDManager = IOHIDManagerCreate(kCFAllocatorDefault, kIOHIDOptionsTypeNone);
IOHIDManagerSetDeviceMatching(HIDManager, NULL);

IOHIDManagerRegisterDeviceMatchingCallback(HIDManager, &Handle_DeviceMatchingCallback, NULL);
IOHIDManagerRegisterDeviceRemovalCallback(HIDManager, &Handle_DeviceRemovalCallback, NULL);

IOHIDManagerScheduleWithRunLoop(HIDManager, CFRunLoopGetMain(), kCFRunLoopDefaultMode);

IOReturn IOReturn = IOHIDManagerOpen(HIDManager, kIOHIDOptionsTypeNone);
if(IOReturn) puts("IOHIDManagerOpen failed.");

while(1)
{
puts("sleeping...");
sleep(1);
}

return 0;
}


What I am doing wrong, because I do not get the callbacks when I insert or remove any hid device in the USB port.





iPhone 4S video showing as 568 x 320 pixels resolution


I was under the impression that the iPhone 4S recorded video at 1080p by default (using the native camera app). But when I send a video to myself via email and look at the video properties it is 568 x 320 pixels resolution. I wonder if this has to do with some compression given that it is being "shared" by email.


In that case, how do I extract the video without losing its pixel resolution?

Mac OSX Yosemite resolution "jump"


When i start my macbook pro retina the resolution is the non scaled option. But on my user account i have selected the 1650x1050 scaled option.

Server dropped connection unexpectedly with certain WiFi


OS: Yosemite Type: Macbook Air 11


I have 2 WiFi's (A and B). Whenever I connect to A, my Mac drops the connection to a certain websites and often loses connection to the WiFi. But when I connect to B, everything's fine. No disconnection and no "server dropped connection unexpectedly". Perfect.


Why is this happening and what can I do to solve the problems when connecting to A?





Using Mac as external audio amplifier, while routing its output to USB?


I've got a Yamaha mixing panel which accepts my Mac's audio output via USB. Great. Now I would like to pipe the output of the mix back to the Mac's input, and have its speakers play the sound.


Is this possible?


At the moment, as soon as I select the Yamaha mixing panel as sound Output, the built-in speakers go grey, suggesting that they are not used.. but the setup I'm after needs them to be used, but in a very non-standard manner.


If it's not possible, then I "just" need to hook the mixing panel to an amp and speakers, and I'm trying to avoid that.





Tips for marketing in the luxury market


Every business needs to focus in on a specific audience to try and figure out how to market to them. So, you’ve probably put a lot of time and effort into figuring out the right audience for your company, but that may not help you if you don’t know how to market to them. It does you no good to know that your target audience is women if you don’t know how to market to them. If your target market is the wealthy who want luxury items, how do you reach out to them? Here are a few tips for marketing in the luxury market.


It’s time to get personal


Personalization and humanization are some of the most important parts of marketing in the luxury market. You are not marketing to a group but to an individual who has their own needs and wants. Your audience wants to be catered to and feel as if they are the only person in the room. That is why it is important to meet them on their level. Try to market to them through technology and social media. By marketing to them as an individual and getting to know them better, you’ll be able to develop a relationship and help them feel more comfortable with your product or service. Even if they don’t really want or need something they are more likely to respond if you have used their name on things or if they have a good relationship with your company. One great trick for this is to send cards or letters that have been hand-written. It is a very personal way to show you care.


Be where they are


According to the Huffington Post, it is extremely important that you are where they are. If they don’t have any reminders that you exist, they won’t remember to buy anything, even if you have a great relationship. You need to be advertising in places where your audience will see it. One of the best ways to do this is through pay per call marketing because it puts your name in blogs and on websites that your clients will be using on a regular basis. When the customer calls for more information, you will realize that your affiliate marketers were worth it for all the new business. Social media marketing and mobile marketing are also great ways to gently remind your customers that you are in business and ready to serve.

Popcorn-Time movies error loading data, try again later

How can I get Terminal to accept mouse clicks the way PuTTY does (eg inside elinks)?


When running ncurses-based tools like elinks, PuTTY (for Windows) allows you to click on links.


However, in Terminal, you need to navigate via keyboard.


Is there a way to get Terminal to pass-through clicks the way PuTTY does? If not, is there a terminal emulator for OS X that will do that?





Unread message in Messages not being set as "read"


So, I have run into a bug where iMessage syncs my normal SMS-messages with Messages on OS X.


The problem is that the message doesn't want to get read. I click on the sender (automatic SMS from a computer notifying me of an email), the (1) disappears for a second and then returns.


The message does NOT show up unread on my iPhone or iPad,


I've tried the following: - Restarted Messages - Closed the conversation - Deleted the conversation


But no luck.


I'm going to restart my computer now, but in the meantime I hope you can come with a solution. Maybe something like "Mark all as read"?

Parental controls and dock modification


I have created a user for my roommate on my mac. I gave her restricted access using Parental Controls. However, now I am testing out this user, I notice "Prevent the Dock from being modified" under the Apps tab of Parental Controls is checked and grayed out. I've been looking for a way to uncheck the box, but I think it might be an option that is fixed after you pick it when creating the user.


Does anyone know about this?





Ignore an AirPlay audio device completely


Is it possible to somehow ignore an AirPlay audio device completely (or at least stop my mac from automatically connecting to one)


We have an AppleTV at the office and every time I open my MBP at work, the AppleTV is automatically selected as sound output. I'm guessing it's because I usually use another AirPlay device at home. So is there any way to prevent the office AppleTV from automatically connecting, but still be able to use AirPlay at home?

Will Apple Charge my Card without asking me?


I am getting notice while adding my debit card that your payment method was declined app store. I used my Debit card because it has zero balance to add purpose only. But app store is saying that payment is declined. So it means Apple will charge without asking me? How much will Apple charge and Will that amount be refunded or not, if refunded after what time?





Selecting files for input Safari applescript


I am trying to automate using Applescript uploading of files to a website. I have gotten to nearly the last step, but can't seem to get a Finder (file chooser) window to respond to scripts.


Here is what the site looks like (i can't give you the actual site, because it is a secure medical record).


enter image description here


The process to upload files is to hit "Add Images" which I can do in Apple/Javascript and it brings up a Finder (file chooser) window like this (again I can only show part because of privacy issues). There are standard "choose" and cancel" buttons on the bottom.


enter image description here


I can't find a way to get this Finder window to respond to Applescript. I have been trying things like:



tell application "System Events"
keystroke tab
end tell


and numerous others using Finder etc.


Any ideas on how to pick a file out of this window? Or get to this window? Or even find the properties of this window?


Thanks.
