I have this Mail rule:
The Move Message works great and all messages that fits the rules has been moved to the selected folder.
The issue here, is the Mark as Read part of the rule does not work.
If I alter the order (Mark as Read first and then Move Message) the Mark as Read not works.
Any ideas on how to solve this issue?
How can I permanently disable the startup sound (or chime) in Yosemite?
(I am using a late-2014 13" macbook pro)
I already tried several options found here and there :
installed StartNinja.app => did not work
installed Auto-Mute.app => did not work
tried to install the old StartupSound prefPane => did not work
tried the command "sudo nvram SystemAudioVolume=%80" => volume does not change (I also tried other values than 80, such as 00, 01, or nothing)
NOTE: I know that it is possible to mute the next startup sound by turning the volume down, but this is not a permanent solution.
Is it possible to retrieve the available WiFi networks programmatically?
How can I preallocate swap space on mac? The problem is occasionally I run on low disk space, and after I reboot I have lots of free space. I will like to preallocate space, so that I know how much space is left for me. Is that possible? Also I have 16GB memory, so I believe allocating 16GB of space should be fine, right?
I have tried this from a previous post : 6 down vote The builtin firewall used by OS X is ipfw. To learn more about it from the Terminal you can enter man ipfw.
To create a new firewall rule to allow incoming traffic on to a particular port you can enter the rule from the Terminal as follows.
sudo ipfw add 40000 allow tcp from any to any dst-port portnum where portnum is the number of the port you wish opened. In this case I've added a rulenum of 40000 to the rule so that if you ever wanted to remove it the following command will suffice.
sudo ipfw delete 40000 If you enter the command sudo ipfw list you will see the active commands. To reload the firewall issue the command sudo ipfw flush
If you want to log the hits the rule is getting you can add the log command as follows, sudo ipfw add 40000 allow log ...
I chose the rulenum 40000 somewhat arbitrarily as rules exist from 1 to 65535, though certain numbers are privileged. This just makes it easier to delete the rule later, if needed.

My Bluetooth Serial seems to always be busy. lsof /dev/tty.BluetoothModem yields nothing. sudo chmod 777 /var/lock seemed to have no effect. I rebooted. I'm using Mountain Lion. How can I possibly debug this?
Thanks
I want to be able to find all mp3 files with exactly 4 letters so i can highlight them and open them up in ITunes. How do I do this?
I recently copied mp3s from my iPod to my mac. These files are all labelled with 4 random letters (eg. WRXL) and only reveal the name of the artist and song once opened in iTunes. When I highlighted all the files and double clicked and most of them opened up iTunes and became properly labelled, however i am left with about 2000 songs with the weird labels. These files are scattered through different albums and artists, so i need to find a way to group them all together so i can open them at the same time.
Thanks for the help!
Is it possible to use someone else's computer, log out of their iTunes account, log into your own account and access your own library on their computer?
Recently, I've been a bit worried about malware, so I've been examining my system and searching for out-of-place applications/programs, and this one stood out.
For one, when looking at the file in Finder, it's called Wi-Fi.app, but when looking at it via the command line, it's called WiFiAgent.app. In other words, in Finder, I see only a "Wi-Fi.app", but on the command line, I see only a "WiFiAgent.app". Moreover, I tried searching for both apps, with neither returning very many results.
What is this app?
For some reason Time Machine doesn't think that the backups on my external drive are for my current computer.
How can I point Time Machine at the former backup files so it can pick up where it left off?
When trying to click "Repair Disk" on an external hard drive from Disk Utility, I got the following error message:
...
Repairing the EFI system partition's file system
Updating boot support partitions for the volume as required.
Creating a new EFI system partition
Problems were encountered during repair of the partition map:
Error: Couldn't repair the partition map because a new EFI system partition couldn't be created.
What does this error message mean? Is it just complaining because there is no EFI system partition, or is it something more serious?
This is an 3TB external hard disk I use for external storage (e.g., Time Machine backups, other data), and it is not bootable. diskutil list shows that it is partitioned with 2 partitions (one for Time Machine, one for data) but no EFI partition. I suspect the partition table was created under Linux rather than Mac OS X. The disk has been working fine up until recently. I did read Why does Disk Utility create EFI partitions on external disks?; that and other sources gave me the impression that a EFI partition is not strictly required unless you want to boot from the disk.
I'm running some cron jobs on my machine and every time I fire up a terminal session I'm getting a 'You have mail.' message. Any way to turn this off?
I'd like to automate the invoices I receive from a particular company. Unfortunately they name the files very strangely and the filename is not at all related to invoice number, or date. So I'm trying to find something to extract information from inside the PDF. I would look for particular strings and numbers. I can think of Spotlight that would be able to do that, but I don't think that's the best way. Suggestions and solutions to this particular problem are welcome.
Thank you!
I plan to start a quiz app to help people learn english. I would use a well know dictionary for it. I do not want to use 3rd party free dictionary, because there is a big difference in quality. This dictionary prevent any commercial usage of their dictionary.

I have MacBook Pro from late 2011 era which I recently upgraded to Yosemite from Mountain Lion. But unfortunately I need some application that only worked on Mountain Lion and I cannot restore back to Mountain Lion as I did not have backup. Now is it possible to install Mountain Lion on USB disk from which I also boot from without actually installing on my MacBook AIR Samsung SSD drive ( the only drive on the system) on which Yosemite is installed and running?
I print out my weekly calendar and want to keep it streamlined and clean. In iCal for Yosemite, how do I print just the events - without location, notes, etc included? Thanks!
I get a popup "The contents list can’t be created for compressing." every time when I try to compress a file.
And also thumbnail preview is not working.
I am sure if both issues are related but they both happened today.
I've tried repairing disk permissions, deleting finder plist, restart but none of this works.
I am running Yosemite 10.10.1
Any suggestion?
So I have a plist to keep monit running:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://ift.tt/vvUEPL">
<plist version="1.0">
<dict>
<key>Label</key>
<string>com.monit.service</string>
<key>KeepAlive</key>
<true/>
<key>ProgramArguments</key>
<array>
<string>/usr/local/Cellar/monit/5.10/bin/monit</string>
<string>-d 60</string>
</array>
<key>RunAtLoad</key>
<true/>
<key>StandardOutPath</key>
<string>/var/log/monit.log</string>
</dict>
</plist>
I can do launchctl load /Library/LaunchDaemons/com.monit.service.plist to start the service, but launchctl unload /Library/LaunchDaemons/com.monit.service.plist will not stop it. I can see that the process keeps running no matter what I do.
The process shows up like this(note how the binary path doesn't show up, only the last argument):
root 14656 0.0 0.0 2482248 1656 ?? S 6:55PM 0:00.09 -d 60
How can I write the launchd plist so that it will actually stop the freaking process whenever I want it to stop?
As a developer, I will be running and testing the webapps that I am developing in my local. But Chrome and safari are not allowing me to hit my local server with ssl enabled.
https://localhost:8443/ is not working saying SSL error with the following error message. I think, it is something to do with adding my certificate to mac key chain access, but I couldn't figure what actually needs to be done!
Could some one please help me out!
"SSL connection error Hide details Unable to make a secure connection to the server. This may be a problem with the server, or it may be requiring a client authentication certificate that you don't have. Error code: ERR_SSL_PROTOCOL_ERROR "
******* UPDATE ******* I was generating the self signed ssl keystore and certificate using the below command
keytool -genkey -alias tomcat -keyalg RSA -sigalg SHA256withRSA -keystore /path/to/keystore -keysize 2048 -validity 365
My problem got resolved, when I generated my self signed certificate with below simple command.
keytool -genkey -alias tomcat -keyalg RSA -keystore /path/to/keystore
I am not sure why !?

do you know how to get the music sync back to the mac without delete from ipad?
I have a single keyboard that is paired to multiple iOS devices. Once it's actively connected to one of them, it seems the only way to get it to be willing to connect with another is to turn off bluetooth on the current device. Is there a magic key chord or something that will kick the current device off so a new one can connect?
I have a MBA (m2011 - Yosemite) with an external monitor setup (Dell 2007FP). I would like to use the Dell monitor in vertical mode by trying to rotate 90 degree in Display setup but the screen stay in horizonal resolution (black area above and below).
Does anyone know how to fix this?
My iphone is not sending text messages to another iphone user. The messages that I sent that day were all erased on my iphone when i typed the message, with ten seconds of me typing them. Making it look like I never sent a text message at all. Is any body aware of a program that would make this happen?
I did some research, and discovered that people have had nightmares with syncing notes from the Notes app via iCloud, in that all of the notes get permanently deleted. Before seeing these articles/forum posts, I had considered activating cloud sync for my notes, but given the danger, I don't think I'd like to do that.
Thus, I'm looking for an alternative solution. I have heard of OneNote, Box, and so on, but what I have not found is a way to sync one's notes from the Notes app on both Mac and iOS across some other cloud. If anyone has any ideas I would really appreciate it. Thanks!
I have parallels installed on my Macbook Pro. I have a headset plugged in. There is not option to choose to play sound on the headset.

I have done MemTest and the RAM is apparently ok. My machine is an upgraded MacPro 1,1 with X5365's and a flashed AMD7950 running 10.8.5. I have an expansion chassis connected with the host card in slot 4.
Really appreciate any help with this.
Here's the problem I'm trying to solve: I installed a game on my PS3 and it corrupted the drive. I installed the same game on my other PS3, and it corrupted the drive. (I sense a pattern here.) That second PS3 was given to me by my best friend before he killed himself, and contains a fortune in games, as well as hundreds and hundreds of hours of game saves. The PlayStation's own repair software is lame, lame, lame. Players have taken their drives out and repaired them using Windows boxes. I don't have access to one.
But I can use Unix! Yay! I'll just download one, install it, and repair my discs, and then I'll be a happy girl!
Boy, what a nightmare this has turned out to be. All Unix distros are .iso files, and I can't burn a single one to disc ("no mountable file system," "invalid argument," or else I got a couple of files onto a disc that are .efi files that're small that don't look as if they're complete installs). Found a terrific page telling me how to use the Terminal to get the files onto a USB stick, and I almost squirted, it seemed so easy! Alas, that's yielded a big fat goose egg, too: "Operation not supported."
I've tried Ubuntu, Lubuntu, and Mint. I have no reason to believe that any other flavor will work, because invalid argument, no mountable file system, operation not supported.
This shouldn't be that hard! I'm almost out of tears at this point. All I want to do it to repair my (FAT) disc. My Mac is old (2007 dual 2.8 Ghz) but it still oughtta be capable of doing this. I'm not trying to do anything fancy. ALL I want to do is to attempt to repair the one disc (and if it works, I'll tackle the other one) and then be done with it and get back to my gaming. I'm a disabled vet, meaning I haven't the resources to take it to a proper repair place (and I prolly just have a couple bad sectors. Most players do who've experienced what I have).
Has anyone got any useful info for me? I'm at my wit's end. I'd be soooo grateful for some advice to get me going again.
Thanks for anything you can offer.

I tried following Apple's instruction to change a file icon but it didn't work they way I expected...
File type: "web internet location" or Inbox.webloc
So This it what I've tried so far:
^ Right click "Get Info"
Copied the icon file
And... pasted
Result:
Not what I expected... Am I missing something? How do I change this file icon without using apple script?
I'm currently using a 32GB Gen 5 iPod touch. My problem is that when I connect my iPod to iTunes, it does not show the correct podcast on iTunes. For example, I have 11 episodes of the Serial podcast, and I can see in the podcast app, but when I connect to iTunes, they do not show up in iTunes. It also does other things, like show I have an unplayed podcast, even though I have finished and deleted the podcast through the app.
When I make a change to a recurring ical event, it reverts back to the original every time. Try again and again, same thing. Will not retain my edits to recurring events. This has been going on since Mavericks install. Anyone know how to fix or at least work around this issue?
I've seen this issue on multiple apple support forums and there is zero response from apple about it. I know there's someone out there who's figured it out. Please share your wisdom!
Thank you. Kathy
Haven't been able to play minecaft, and I think it's my antivirus software. I added minecraft to the firewall and it port tons of times and I don't know how to fix it. I cant join servers because of it. It says cannot connect to server and it has no information. Any ideas?
Are there any plugins that will allow me to see a waveform when using Quick Look on an audio file?
(I'm using Yosemite.)
I downloaded some ringtones from Zedge in an m4r format directly into the Tones folder in finder but when i go to sync in Itunes they don't show up when i click my phone tab. What am I doing wrong?
More often than not I am getting this error when connecting to a brand new Mac Mini, firewall disabled:
ssh -l [username] [fixed_ip]
ssh: connect to host [fixed_ip] port 22: Connection timed out
ssh -l [username] [fixed_ip]
ssh: connect to host [fixed_ip] port 22: No route to host
(For security reasons, I have [fixed_ip] and [username] instead of the real values above.)
The connection does work sometimes, though. How can I make it more reliable?
Is there an escape sequence which I can use to jump to an absolute column in OS X Yosemite Terminal or iTerm?
In other words:
echo 12345678901234567890
echo \StartAtColumn10 A10 \StartAtColumn2 B2
Would produce the following output:
12345678901234567890
B2 A10
I want to send this code from R to format progress output.
I was doing some clean up on large hard drives mounted via afp, and my process got stucked on a file like this:
find . -iname "*ins* | od -c

I got rid of the problem manually, but now I would like to find every other problematic files on HFS+ filesystems.
How may I find those problematic filenames, and possibly everything that is known to be problematic, like brackets, backslashes, etc..
This file:

is not found with this:
I've been getting various "too many files open in system"-type errors on Yosemite (10.10.1). Searching around suggests setting kern.maxfiles and kern.maxfilesperprocess in /etc/sysctl.conf.
I've tried this, and kern.maxfilesperprocess sticks after a reboot, but kern.maxfiles doesn't.
% cat /etc/sysctl.conf
kern.maxfiles=20480
kern.maxfilesperproc=18000
(reboot)
% sysctl kern.maxfiles
kern.maxfiles: 12288
% sysctl kern.maxfilesperproc
kern.maxfilesperproc: 18000
If I set it manually at the command line, it works, so it doesn't seem I'm exceeding any upper limit:
% sudo sysctl -w kern.maxfiles=20480
kern.maxfiles: 12288 -> 20480
% sysctl kern.maxfiles
kern.maxfiles: 20480
I have seen warnings about these values being overridden in /etc/launchd.conf but I don't have this file:
% cat /etc/launchd.conf
cat: /etc/launchd.conf: No such file or directory
Spotlight search doesn't find any other mention of kern.maxfiles, so I'm out of ideas. Any other suggestions?
With my built-in iPhone keyboard that is easily possible, but I can't seem to find the setting on Swype.
As technical guy, I do hate the markup support in Notes.app and I would prefer to be just a smart text one.
Here is my wishlist: * Use a different font, like a fixed width one * Drop any font/color/size on text paste * Prevent replacing quotes with smart-quotes (i like this while typing an email but not here where I copy/paste even code!)
I suspect that some of these could be obtained using some hidden preferences options. Anyway, if you know other 2rd party applications that could replace Notes, let me know. Still I do not want to lose the ability to access notes from iOS!
I plan to start a quiz app to help people learn english. I would use a well know dictionary for it. I do not want to use 3rd party free dictionary, because there is a big difference in quality. This dictionary prevent any commercial usage of their dictionary.
Who takes risk after I submitted the app and Apple approved it? Me or Apple?

I've just bought a new iMac with Yosemite and set up my mailboxes with rules for sorting incoming mail. The rules work fine but no badges are shown for any mail sorted into subfolders. Badges only appear for mail that goes directly into my inbox. In previous operating systems badges were shown for every new email whether it was sorted or not. Is there any way of forcing Yosemite to badge sorted, unread emails?
I'm experiencing a very weird network issue on my newish (2014) macbook pro. I've noticed it the last few weeks, but it could have been around longer, perhaps dating back to the Yosemite upgrade. I'm only getting to look at it now.
Mostly macbook works fine, but every now and again it stops talking to the internet. It seems to happen every 15-20 minutes, for a duration ranging from 30 seconds up to 5 minutes. It's mainly an issue for Skype, where I experience occasional disconnections.
I have run ping youtube.com and it reports Request timeout for <ip-address> at times corresponding to my outages. Note that it does not say No route to host.
I have also run ping against my router IP-address and this always works without fault. thus issues on wireless interface can be ruled out.
I have run ping on my actual router too, against the youtube IP-adress, and this reports no fault. this rules out actual service-provider network issues.
I have run ping from my iPhone, and this reports no problems so the issue is almost certainly something to do with macbook, rather than wifi devices in general.
Apple's wireless diagnostics utilities do detect the outages, but provide no solutions. The tools it provides also show no wireless congestion issues, and no problems with signal.
I've tried a whole slew of fixes:
I'm going to have a go at the PRAM reset thing if the issue becomes chronic again, and I really don't think I should have to resort to an O/S reinstall.
I would like to understand though, even theoretically what is going on here. It's driving me bananas!
I want to export all my accounts login/password from Keychain. But you have many categories like : login, iCloud, System... in the Keychain menu. In fact I want to export them to 1Password, so I follow this overflow answer.
But in ~/Library/Keychains/ I have only the login.keychain and not the hopefully iCloud.keychain...
I have 422 accounts in the iCloud category and only 5 on the login category...
So my question is, how can I save/export this iCloud category
into a keychain or .csv file ?
I'd like to automate the invoices I receive from a particular company. Unfortunately they name the files very strangely and the filename is not at all related to invoice number, or date. So I'm trying to find something to extract information from inside the PDF. I would look for particular strings and numbers. I can think of Spotlight that would be able to do that, but I don't think that's the best way. Suggestions and solutions to this particular problem are welcome.
Thank you!
Whenever I drag & drop an epub into iBooks, the book is automatically added to my library, but it is also immediately opened for reading.
Is there a way to add a book to the iBooks library without actually opening it?
My macbook pro has started making a repetitive clicking noise every 4 seconds. It kind of sounds like a woodpecker or something, not a scraping noise.. does anyone know what could be wrong?
Suddenly, My MBP sound isn't working. I have tried couple of way to resolve the problem but nothing is working. Here is some of the screenshot: 
No, input or output sound. I would like to know
1) How can I resolve this?
2) Can you suggest any software, that can route my sound in iPad/iPhone.
Update:
After running this command :
kextstat > ~/Desktop/kexts.txt
I got only this com.apple.iokit.IOAudioFamily But, didn't found com.apple.driver.AudioAUUC
Update - 2:
As Buscar suggested to check for AudioAUUC.kext file in my /System/Library/Extensions. Yes, I found AudioAUUC.kext file in that folder. As you can see in the image No indicates, it's not loading.

My MBP13 Retina freezes when I print a file from Preview. I can continue to use the computer on other softwares but Preview is freezing...
I have 4 network's printer and one unplugged USB printer.
Do you have any idea for solving this trouble?
NB:
I've searched before asking but couldn't find any related question with the problem that I'm facing.
I have a new Macbook Air (1 month) with Yosemite 10.10.1 that from the beginning is having some strange behavior on boot-up.
Specs:
When I press the power button the screen remains black (I notice a different black when the room is dark) for more than 1 minute before the apple logo appears and then it's seconds to go to the login screen.
However, when I boot-up with the Alt key, the screen to select the startup disk is very fast to appear and when I select the "Macintosh HD" disk, the Apple logo appears right away and then again it's seconds to go to the login screen.
So basically if I boot with Alt key and force the disk, it is very fast to boot. When I do a "normal" boot, I have to wait at least 1 minute before the Apple logo appears.
It seems to me like an hardware problem, but before I take the computer back to the store, I wanted to make sure if there is something else I should try.
Any help would be appreciated.
Many programs are not removed from the dock when quitting them (using apple-Q) or when closing their visible windows. I know this behaviour is on purpose, but I don't like it. Is their a way to consistently enforce that programs are really closed (i.e., the process is terminated), and hence removed from the dock when quitting / closing the windows?
Sometimes I notice that the screen is bluer than usually for a few seconds/minutes then goes back to normal. It does it even if no screen is plugged and no matter which applications are open. It's a MBP 15" 2011.

It is not clear to me how the file system in iOS 8 works. Consider e.g. the Dropbox app, when I open a document in another app, what happens?
It looks to me as:
A few question regarding this:
This seems rather messy, as I just want an app that can edit e.g. pdf documents IN Dropbox.
I have 2 same files:
Romans-MacBook-Pro:cut poma$ md5 src.mov
MD5 (src.mov) = 7d59d01e5efffe3a258eff86d8b775a0

MD5 (copy.mov) = 7d59d01e5efffe3a258eff86d8b775a0

I am trying to find what causes the "Storage Almost Full" message to appear on iOS. For example, is it:
My reason for asking is that I am trying to maximize the amount of content that I can load onto a device before I see the message.
How can I permanently disable the startup sound (or chime) in Yosemite?
(I am using a late-2014 13" macbook pro)
I already tried several options found here and there :
installed StartNinja.app => did not work
installed Auto-Mute.app => did not work
tried to install the old StartupSound prefPane => did not work
tried the command "sudo nvram SystemAudioVolume=%80" => volume does not change (I also tried other values than 80, such as 00, 01, or nothing)
NOTE: I know that it is possible to mute the next startup sound by turning the volume down, but this is not a permanent solution.
I've Mac OS X 10.9.5 installed. On this machine you can find the calendar app. In Outlook it is possible to add a shared calendar from exchange. Here I don't need a username/password. I can easily add this calendar.
Can I add such a shared exchange calendar to the calendar app?
