OSX Yosemite Crash - Cant Reopen App

I have a really annoying issue that happens when I am using Adobe Dreamweaver.

During saving when connected to a server and pushing files to it, it will often freeze.

The issue is, it locks up the app completely and I am forced to "Force Quit" the program.

However, once I force quit I cannot re-open that app again without restarting the mac.

You can see a video here of it happening: http://ift.tt/1Dzh1mH

Something type of Cache or temp file is being cleared on restart and I would like to know if anyone knows of a way I can perform that same task through terminal?

It takes a lot of time out of my day when I have to relaunch all my tools sites etc each time it crashes. Since I use Dreamweaver all day and it crashes at least 5 times a day; its very annoying.

Any ideas?

UPDATE I am connected to a Windows Server that is mounted through an SMB server address. Any time it crashed, I make sure that the mount is still there and active which it is.

Here is the log in the 30 minute window it happened:

On Macbook Pro how to show the folder as a column in the Finder Favorites “All My Files?”

On Macbook Pro how can I show the folder (directory) as a column in the Finder Favorites "All My Files?" I have a MAcBook Pro running OS X Yosemite (version 10.10.2). There IS a way to select columns. Finder>View>Show View Options (Splat J) one can select certain columns by checkboxes, but there is no checkbox for folder (directory). Is it possible to add a check box for folder (directory)?

To me, it seems an obvious column to show -- especially coming from unix and MS DOS/Windows. How am I supposed to know where the file resides? How am I supposed to keep the files in any reasonable order if I don't know where a file is located?

iOS delete application data with new version

I want to release a new version of an iOS application on the App Store.

Can I force the data to be deleted with the application update on the store? How do you handle this can of problem?

Yosemite Retail DVD?

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

Is there any way to get this?

Why wont Nike + iPod sensor activate?

I thought i'd configure this to see exactly how much exercise i i am during during my walks at work however i have had no luck in setting up the sensor.

When i went to go on one of my walks i went to configure it, all it showed was the message "walk around to activate your sensor" and i notice my bluetooth turns on and off all the time. my walks are 30 minutes and half way through it was still doing the same thing.

my iPhone is version 8.1.2 and it's an iPhone 5/5S. i am unsure which however i got it from my mother last year and i got This cover which fits perfectly however i can rule out it interfering as i pre-ordered the cover months in advance after getting my phone and i was still unable to activate the sensor (i retained my old iphone to be a music player but it's cover did not fit my new phone).

How do install NTFS-3G from source?

I want to install the latest version of NTFS-3G on my Yosemite box. The latest version (as of this writing) is 2014.2.15 available here. However, only the source code is available and there aren't any instructions on how to compile or install it.

How do I do it?

iMovie titles line spacing

Yosemite Install or post-install Boot-up Frozen

Smartphone typing, please excuse brevity :)

I'd attach a photo, but can't seem to.

The screen I'm on does not have a time remaining estimate, that was the prior screen.

This one simply shows the apple logo and a plain status bar with no percentage or time indicator.

Perhaps it's just the boot up screen.

At any rate, it's been stuck exactly at the halfway point for about an hour.

No clue what the proper course of action here is.

It's a 15 in MacBook Pro, mid 2009, Latest version of Snow Leopard with no history of install related or hardware issues at all.

Thanks in advance!

Using magic-trackpad for simple play/pause interface for movies or music

Backstory...my mother-in-law fell and has a spinal injury (C5), and she has no finger use, just her arms. I want to give her some control over her iPad to play or pause movies and music. Anyone have a script to assign the play/pause button as a single tap to the magic-trackpad?

Also, any other simple yet clever scripts for handicap use with the trackpad would be most appreciated.

Thanks, Don donroy (at) gmail.com

Pages 5.5 word count

I just got a new Yosemite HD. I am trying to get a page count on my pages documents. The directions say to go to the box in upper left corner, select 'word count' and select 'page count' on the pull down menu but all I ever see is '425 word count' on any document. No pull down menu and beyond changing to 'show' or 'hide' nothing else happens. Thanks for any help given.

Can I decrypt single EncFS files?

I had a directory encrypted with encfs by MacFusion. I deleted some encfs file from there (something like .encfs6.xml, can't remember). I still have files and remember the password.

Now when I want to mount this directory as encfs one, encfs wants to create new encrypted volume there. Can I somehow force it to open existing instead of creating new one?

Documents in Word need to be saved in a 'Recent Place' first

I have Word 2011 for Mac. When I want to save a document for the first time using Save As, in the 'Where' box I have 'Documents' showing. When I click the arrows to the right, I thought all Word folders would then appear but they don't—only 'Recent Place' appears. The only way I can get round this is to save the document in a 'Recent Place' then go into 'Finder' and move it into the correct Folder before I forget where I put it.

How to uninstall Jenkins in Homebrew?

I have a problem with Homebrew especially with Jenkins formula.

$ brew update;brew upgrade
Already up-to-date.
==> Upgrading 1 outdated package, with result:
jenkins 1.598
==> Upgrading jenkins
...
🍺  /usr/local/Cellar/jenkins/1.598: 6 files, 65M, built in 7 seconds
$ brew uninstall jenkins --force
Uninstalling jenkins...
$ brew cleanup

Ok, I strongly believe that I completely uninstalled the formula. The problem is that the Jenkins formula installs every time when I do brew update;brew upgrade.

How can I uninstall Jenkins completely?

My MBP will no longer shut down or restart

Should the Windows 10 Technical Preview work in BootCamp 5.1 on new Mac Pro

Microsoft released the windows 10 technical preview . I am not 100% thrilled with the user experience of windows 8.1 so i wanted to try this out on my new Mac Pro (the garbage can black one). Does anyone know if it should work with the version of bootcamp 5.1 on this mac pro? I know i couldnt run windows 7 because the drivers werent written for it. Apple doesnt specify Bootcamp and windows 10

Using 'kMDItemContentModificationDate' in 'do Shell Script'

I want to find files modified on a specific date. It is not important what time of day they were modified. I tried the following and got an empty list (no error):

set theFolder to (choose folder)
set folderPOSIX to quoted form of POSIX path of theFolder
set modList to paragraphs of (do shell script "mdfind -onlyin " & folderPOSIX & " 'kMDItemContentModificationDate = 2015-01-15 00:00:00 -0400'")

If I understand this correctly, I am asking for files in a specific folder (directory) which were modified on Jan 15, 2015. If I did this right (apparently not), it should find at least one file that was modified on that date, because I can see in the window of the folder I chose that there is a file modified on Jan 15.

Also, not sure what the -0400 part is for. Is there some way that I can get the files for Jan 15, regardless of the time of day they were modified.

Can I see latest location of my stolen MacBook?

My MacBook Air was stolen a couple of weeks ago. It had iCloud / Find my mac activated, so I activated stolen mode, and requested it to be deleted if it ever came online. This is exactly what happened today. Question is: Can I see where the MacBook was when it came back online? It does not show in the map in Find My iPhone, but obviously, it's not online anymore - it has been wiped. Is it possible to track the latest known location?

Is there a program that will let me move an item from my Dock to my Menu Bar?

And I don't mean like StatusDock, which will move it to the menu bar but also keeps it in the dock. I'd prefer it to just be gone from the dock. Any way you guys know how to do this? Thanks.

Xcode 6.1.1 writes to much data to disk

Recently I noticed that Xcode writes too much data to the disc. Within just 40 hours it wrote more than 13GB to the disk. See some more info about this on this screenshot. I restarted Xcode to see what actions cause this insane data transfer. I noticed that typing just one character makes Xcode write 40-50 MB of data onto the disk. As I have an SSD this makes me very "uncomfortable" using Xcode.

How can I find out where the data is written and why it is written?

Thanks for the answers in advance!

Cross-Platform File System file sharing between MAC, WINDOWS, LINUX?

I've a laptop with triple boot, Yosemite, Windows 8.1, CentOS 7, and need a partition for sharing files between the 3 os's, i've been using exFAT, as it is supported by OSX & Windows but had some issues with linux and after try to mount it on linux, osx didn't recognize it, and i was unable to mount it, then just windows recognized it and after 1 day of using it got corrupted, i had to get my data back with TesDrive.

Now i'm looking for the most accepted file sys to share files between them, so far i've found these options:

• 
  

  NTFS: Using MacFUSE & NTFS-3G to enable read/write access, or Paragon NTFS, but i've heard some bad things about stability & speed of those options... i would not like to lose my data.

  
  


• 
  

  HFS+: Using MacDrive Pro in windows to have read/write access to mac partition, i guess there's a way to allow linux support for hfs+. Heard some good & bad things about MacDrive but still not so sure...

  
  


• 
  

  exFAT: This way is the way i've already tried, bad experience with it, but most of the people seems to approve this option. Maybe i did something wrogn, BUT still the data loss is a problem...

  
  


• 
  

  FAT32: Limited drive size. Limited permission settings. Not the one i would like to pick.

  
  

Needs hierarchically ordered:

1. Stability (No data loss)


2. Great File Size support


3. Journaling


4. Speed

---

UPDATE 1: After more research i've found Tuxera NTFS for mac, seems to be nice, but... how good is it in real life? does it offer real NTFS full support as it says?, great Stability? Speed? Journaling? Is it worth for the price?

What's the best way to synchronize Calendar/iCloud with Outlook 2015

I've recently switched from using the native Mac Mail app to using Outlook 2015 for emails. It seems that Outlook automatically gives me access to my Mac address book. What's the best way to synchronise the Outlook calendar with the calendars in the native Mac Calendar app?

All the calendars I access using the Calendar app are actually stored on cloud services: some are on Google Calendar, others are on iCloud. Perhaps the easiest thing would be to access these cloud services directly from Outlook?

How can I bookmark the left page of a PDF in Preview?

In Preview, Command-D will allow you to bookmark the current page of the PDF for later reference. However, when viewing the PDF in two-up mode (Command-3), it will always bookmark the right-hand page. How can I bookmark the left-hand page for those times when it's that page precisely that I want to bookmark?

iOS 8.1.3 Video Playback

I have an iPhone 5s and ever since I updated to iOS 8.1.3 I can't play videos. Online videos, such as YouTube, look like they're playing (the progress bar/timer moves) but it is just a black screen. Videos that I have recorded using the iPhone camera just won't start (the first frame of the video shows up on the screen, but no playback happens). Is anyone else experiencing this? Any ideas on fixing it?

How to change default contact template

When i create a new contact and go to insert a phone number the default category for this is "Home", I don't have anyone's home phone number now as this is 2015 not 1999. How can i change this default so that the category that appears first is "Mobile" ? IOS 8.1.3

Permanently enabling volume control for audio interface that doesn't support it

I use an audio interface (namely a Roland Edirol UA-5, but that doesn't matter) which does not support volume control. I can only control the volume with the physical volume dial on the audio interface.

Now, with a combination two freewares from RogueAmoeba, Soundflower and LineIn, I am able to enable volume control on any audio interface by:

1. Selecting Soundflower as my primary audio interface


2. Routing Soundflower to my Edirol UA-5 with LineIn

Thus enabling my native volume to control my audio interface.

This is my question now: is there a native modification I could make to OSX (a flag somewhere, a special kext) that could make this process easier?

Copying printer preset .plist files (Mavericks)

I am trying to copy a custom print preset from one computer to another. My understanding is that the presets are stored in ~/Library/Preferences with the name com.apple.print.custompresets.forprinter.<name>.plist. I have copied the preset into my preferences folder, yet the presets for that printer (a Canon ImageRunner 5075) have not changed.

In my preferences folder there is only the new file, and when I inspect it with the Property List Editor, the correct presets seem to be there, but when I choose Print, they don't appear in the Print dialog for that printer; instead the previous presets still show up. Are the preferences cached somewhere?

(The purely obvious answer "Just make a new preset" won't work for me, since Canon, in its infinite wisdom has removed print dialog access to the functionality encoded in the old preset, even though the printer is still able to use it.)

Any suggestions on how to get this working are greatly appreciated.

This is a wonderful OS I use.

batch convert iWork 08 files to new version on Yosemite

I just set up my mother's new MacBook with Yosemite and all the new versions of iWork. On her old MacBook she used iWork 08.

Now the new versions of iWork apps won't open her old Pages and Numbers documents telling me that they have to be opened and saved again in iWork 09.

So I installed a copy of iWork 09 I still have lying around, tried to convert a file and that worked. But I don't want to do that manually for all her files, so is there a way to convert all at once? I'm not a stranger to using bash, but I've never used AppleScript or Automator, so I can't figure out a solution myself.

To make things a bit worse, she keeps all her files in a single folder, so I have a folder full of different types of files and if it's possible, I'd like to have a script that takes just Numbers and Pages files (there are no Keynote files) from a certain folder and ignores everything else (mostly pdf,doc,xls,png and jpg)

How can I create Apple Dictionary File?

There is generally a dictionary.app on the Mac-OS. But there isn't any dictionary development kit on the X-Code. Now i use the X-Code (Mavericks and Yosemite). So I downloaded the the auxiliary tools package from http://ift.tt/P9600v and applied it to the /Applications/Utilites/. And run the command "make" and "make install". But when I reopen Dictionary.app, it couldn't do any action about of my Dictionary file. What's the problem? Anyone, please help me. I want to make my own dictionary now, Best regards. Oscar.

Mac Finder - create a custom type when arranging by "kind"

When viewing files by arranging them by "Kind", the Finder lists the files in various categories or types. In my attached example, you can see it has listed two types - "Images" and "Documents". The problem is under "Images", it's grouped both .jpg and .tif files together. I'd like to see these listed in their own types. So is there a way to customise this? Rather than "Images", I would have "TIFs" and "Jpgs".

He thought he was installing it with Boot Camp, booting with option shows 2 HDs and both now boot into windows. So, option doesn't work, R doesn't work, C from the OSX CD doesn't work. It doesn't read the OSX CD from within XP. Apparently he overwrote my Mac OSX HD with XP.

Wired memory in activity monitor

Activity monitor shows me that I have 11Gb wired but only 5Gb used for 2 processes (others are neglible). Where are other 6GB? When I try to start new virtual machine with 500M RAM it says that I do not have enough so looks like this memory is indeed used.

Update: It turned out that Parallels was using 12Gb for windows by default. Still I don't know where to look for actual memory usage.

Some videos won't play through icloud.com

I have an iPhone 5s and have enabled the iCloud Photo Library. Recently I shot five video clips with my phone and they got synced to iCloud. One of them plays fine through icloud.com. Three don't even show a thumbnail (and won't play of course) and one shows the thumbnail but doesn't play (shows a "cannot load video" message). However, all of them play fine on my phone and I can even download them from icloud.com and they play fine on my Windows computer.

Has anyone faced a similar problem?

Is it possible to reserve exact amount of space for the indexing and virtual memory?

Is it possible to reserve exact amount of space for the indexing and virtual memory?

I have Macbook Air with 128 GB SDD (with OS X Yosemite). When I run out of memory (free space less than 1 GB) the computer slows down and even hangs up.

I suspect that this slow down is due to the impossibility of indexing to be written on the disk and due to a lack of space for the virtual memory.

Is it possible to single out a place to be used only for paging and indexing? For example, to reserve 10 GB for that purpose?

In Linux systems there is a /var folder where these kind of stuff are written. It can be put on a separate partition and this way to reserve certain amount of space only for itself. Is it possible to do something like this on a Mac in regard to indexing and virtual memory? I would sacrifice 10-15GB for it, if is needed.

Bought a selection of songs off iTunes, they are "greyed out" won't play, can't sync them

Hey so I bought a heap of songs off iTunes tonight. First 20 I bought off my phone through iTunes, no worries with them. I then got another 8 but these I bought through iTunes on my pc. These 8 won't do anything. They are grey with circles to the left of the check mark. Tried transferring all purchases, downloading all available downloads, Iv checked my account settings there is nothing that says these items are hidden, logged on and off again to iCloud still nothing. Am in-visioning a laptop sized hole in my window :/ any help? :)

Is there any way to re-enable the “old style” iTunes metadata editing window in version 12.1.0.50?

So, when iTunes 12 was released the interface was changed a bit; which is expected. But unlike older releases, it included a change to the metadata editing window which made it more compact and altered the user experience.

Some of us still like the “old style” editing window layout and the user experience connected to it. Heck the “old style” window has been like that for years. But prior to iTunes 12.1.0.50—and still using iTunes 12—one could access the “old style” metadata editing window by doing a “Get Info…” on media while holding down the alt/option. This blog post explains the simple trick nicely and below is a screenshot of the “old style” metadata editing window for reference.

Now with iTunes 12.1.0.50 it seems that this somewhat hidden—yet easy to access—functionality is gone. Unless I am missing something? Does anyone know how to reenable the “old style” metadata editing window in iTunes 12.1.0.50? Or is it simply gone and ripped from the core code forever?

Very slow to start processes or open applications

I have a Mac Mini (Mid 2011, 8GB RAM) with Yosemite which is getting slower and slower. But the weird thing is that only opening applications or starting new processes (from the terminal) is terribly slow.

Once an application is started (it can take up to 5 minutes to open Excel) then it works without any problem.

What I looked so far:

• the log files seem normal


• monitoring the system with opensnoop shows a lot of activity from Spotlight (mds_stores ist the process using more CPU time and mdworker)


• in general the CPU is almost idle


• disk seems healthy (no S.M.A.R.T. errors, no problems while checking it with Disk Utility)

Where could I look for a hint on what is making the machine slow?

File auto focus after copying

When I copy and paste a file to a new folder, is there anyway to have it be auto selected in it's new folder, or have some indication where it is in the new folder?

This is something I'm missing from windows.

Can't change color default folders yosemite 10.10.2

I've got a brand new mac with Yosemite 10.10.2 but like everybody I just hate that blue color of the folders

I'm looking for a proper way to change ALL folders's color

I've seen that http://ift.tt/1rlsPRP

But I can't find the folder CoreServices/CoreTypes.bundle/Contents/Resources/

Isn't strange or because I've got Yosemite 10.10.2 ?

What shall I do ?

thanks

How to mount remote shares that have the same name, and easily differentiate them in the Finder?

We have three Linux development servers which are available through SMB/CIFS, and I mount them on my Mac (using an Automator script in my Login Items).

The problem is that the SMB shares are username based, so all three shares show up as the same name in the Finder. If one looks carefully in the Volumes folder, then of course they are given different names, but those names are arbitrary, based on the order of successful mounting, I suppose. And anyway, the different names don't show up in the Finder.

I would like to be able to easily know which one is which - even a colored label would be nice, but I can't seem to be able to edit tags or labels directly on volumes.

Right now I can do one of these two things:

• Open each of the "username" volumes, look at the list of folders inside, realize that these are not the projects I'm looking for, move on to the next folder.


• Open the server through the "Shared" section in the Finder sidebar. But this attempts to re-connect to the server for some reason. So there is a delay before the volume opens.

So, what can I do to be able to tell which volume came from which server?

I am using Yosemite.

Fixed Yosemite flickering icons on menu toolbars. The only solution that worked for me. Solved [duplicate]

This question already has an answer here:

• Prevent redraw of menu bar icons Yosemite 4 answers

I have been struggling for a bit with the flickering of icons (dropbox, battery, wi-fi, time, etc) on the menu bar (top-right corner of the screen) with Yosemite.

I've tried all the hardware resets, toggling reducing transparency, displays have separate spaces, enabling dark menu bar, etc.

I've also followed the thread at Prevent redraw of menu bar icons Yosemite, but Nothing had worked.

After a few long calls with Apple senior engineers, we have now fixed it. The fix is to go on /Library and delete the contents of LaunchAgents, LaunchDaemons, Caches.

iOS8.1.3 will not update

CMStorm Devastator does not work

The keyboard in which I am trying to use on my MacBook Air (OS X 10.10.2). I tried to download the program from the Apple website - but it just comes with a main.c program, and no Build folder, as stated in the other questions, I have compiled the program and ran it from Terminal, but it just says Killed: 9, and does not do anything else, and the keyboard does not light up, as stated that it would in the other questions.

Thank you for your time.

Flawed user permissions: cannot save files or open certain programs

I'm on OSX 10.9.1 and I changed settings on my user folder. As far as I can remember I "only" pressed cmd + i on the user folder and under access rights I chose apply to all sub folders. Don’t ask me why - I know I was being stupid and I won’t do it again .. promise!

So from what I understand that means I changed all files and folders inside of my user folder to belong to the root user and therefore don’t allow me to do any file operations for example copying files etc ..

What can I do to fix this?

• I’ve already used Disk Utility to repair permissions. But no luck. This is what it says. Sorry it’s in German: ACL was found, but not expected in …. For Library/StartupItems it also says SUID-file …/ARDAgent was changed and will not be repaired. Here's the details:

Also the + and @ signs look uncommon to me.

  
  

So my question is: How can I fix my problem so that the permissions are reverted back to their prior state. Or at least I want to be able to work as I did before.

I found this solution: Resetting user permissions to their default mode , in which first all ACL permissions are being removed, then all permissions being equalized with chmod. Now before trying it out I wanted to ask here if this method is advisable or if there is any other way of fixing my problem.

Resizing and moving OSX partitions in Disk Utility

So, I have a Mac Mini with a 160GB drive (it's an old model but it's only for testing). It had 4 versions of OSX on it but one needed more space so I removed the oldest version (Lion) and want to keep it to "latest", "latest-1" and "latest-2".

I've got to the situation where I now have the 3 OSes I need and I've managed to resize the partition for the one which was full so it now runs. But I'm left with a load of free space that I'd like to split between the others so that they don't fill up either.

Hopefully it's clear in the screenshot, but when I want to do this resizing, I have this situation where I can only select that single "partition" and I can't resize it. I can resize the Mavericks partition itself OK, but because that grey section can't be resized, I can't move it or resize the Yosemite/Mountain Lion partitions

mac-mini:~ user$ diskutil list
/dev/disk0
   #:                       TYPE NAME                    SIZE       IDENTIFIER
   0:      GUID_partition_scheme                        *160.0 GB   disk0
   1:                        EFI EFI                     209.7 MB   disk0s1
   2:                  Apple_HFS Yosemite                42.8 GB    disk0s2
   3:                  Apple_HFS Mavericks               50.9 GB    disk0s3
   4:                 Apple_Boot Recovery HD             650.0 MB   disk0s4
   5:                  Apple_HFS Mountain Lion           37.7 GB    disk0s5
   6:                 Apple_Boot Recovery HD             650.0 MB   disk0s6

diskutil from the command line doesn't show a block of free space, but I can see it in the GUI Disk Utility, I just can't do anything to resize that grey area to match the size of Mavericks, which I think I need to do in order to change the "split" between the partitions and add more space to Yosemite/Mountain Lion.

Any other tools I can try apart from Disk Utility, preferably freeware or time limited trials since I'm only going to need to do this once?

Multiple non-thunderbolt monitors to MBP-r '12

Does anyone know if it's only possible to add 3 external monitors if at least one of these is a thunderbolt display?

I'm asking since I would love to hook up 3 Dell monitors to my macbook at work. Connection options are HDMI, DP VGA and DVI only.

Currently I have one connected with HDMI and one with VGA - works both with the built-in HDMI port and the minidp -> hdmi adapter.
