how can I enable "move to applications folder" dialog box again?


When installing an app from the downloads folder I used to get a dialog box "move to applications folder" which had a checkbox for not showing it again. I had checked it and the dialog box stopped showing. But now I would like it to start showing again, how can I fix this?





disabling imessage on macbook air only


If I untick 'enable imessage' in prefs on my macbook air, will that stop messages going to it? I only want them on my iphone. If I do the 'delete account' thing as advised in one video, I am worried imessage might not work on my iphone either.





How do I install Apache Tomcat 7.0.x on Yosemite?


I am a junior-level developer beginning to work on a project that requires me to use Apache 7.0.x, and I'm running Yosemite with a Windows 7 VM. When I did some research on how to get Apache, I discovered that Mac comes with Apache pre-installed. However, it seems that the version is 2.4. Since Apache runs on JRE, it seems to me that I should be able to have Apache 7 so long as I have Java 7, but the version numbers are throwing me off.


Why is the versioning so far off, and what do I need to do to be able to run apache 7 on my Mac? Developing on my Windows VM is an option, but I prefer to keep everything on the Mac side.


EDIT: It seems that I misunderstood: what I need is Apache Tomcat, which I now embarrassedly know is something different than Apache. If I have further issues I'll update accordingly.

Using two headsets on my MacBook Air


I want to rent a movie on my MacBook Air and my husband and I want to watch the movie together using two separate headsets. Can this been done. I have 3 headsets to choose from, Wireless Bose, Logitech usb plugin and a set that uses the pin plug in. I am not able to bluetooth my bose - only works on my iPad. The other two pin plug in and USB plug in only allows one to work at a time. Is it possible for both of us to watch a movie using separate headphones on MacBook Air??





.nef support in iPhoto 9.6 and Aperture 3.6


I've got a problem with raw files support for my Nikon D700 camera. Even though this camera is listed here both Aperture and iPhoto see .nef files as a white images. If I try to edit one, both apps crash.


How can I get a raw files support in these applications?


I have updated os, apps and even tried to remove and reinstall raw camera bundle as it was described here RAW files suddenly show up as "not supported" (Aperture 3.5.1, OS X 10.10). No luck.


I use Early 2011 MBP with Core i7 and 16GB of RAM. My OSX is installed on SSD, while iPhoto library is on the secondary HDD drive.





Use shell wildcard OR with diskutil


I have the following terminal command, which matches volumes called A001R45R, A123R45R, etc.



diskutil eraseVolume HFS+ FreshMag /Volumes/*R45R


But I also want it to match volumes called B001R4G5, B150R4G5, etc. How can I use the OR expression in the wildcard? I tried the following, but it doesn't work:



$ diskutil eraseVolume HFS+ FreshMag /Volumes/{*R45R,*R4G5}
The third parameter does not appear to be "bootable" or "nonbootable"
$ diskutil eraseVolume HFS+ FreshMag /Volumes/"{*R45R,*R4G5}"
Unable to find disk for /Volumes/{*R45R,*R4G5}


I'm using bash.





How can I force focus or fix a blurry and 'washed out' Apple Thunderbolt Display camera?


The built-in camera of my Apply Thunderbolt Display (MC914LL/B 27") is always blurry. Items up close look better, but are still blurry. In fact, everything looks bright and washed out like a bad Instagram filter, like the beach after waking up from a sandy nap, or after walking out of the eye doctor with those dilating eye drops...


It is blurry for all apps. It is blurry with my MacBook Pro lid open or closed. It is blurry before and after plugging in my Thunderbolt cable. The screen and camera lens are clean.


The built-in camera on my MacBook Pro, connected to this Thunderbolt Display, is crystal clear.


I have the latest display firmware, 1.2, and the latest MacBook Pro updates.


Any ideas on how to fix this / force it to focus on a specific distance?


Best, Adam

New Facebook in-app sounds


In the last update, the Facebook app for iOS 8 has started adding squishing/swooshing nosies as you navigate or like posts. How do you disable these annoying noises? I have notifications set to off, sounds set to off for the app, but short of muting my entire phone, they keep existing. I don't want to have to mute everything, just the in-app noises for FB.





Is it possible to find a specific iMessage from a conversation?


Using an iPad Air (still running iOS 7), is it possible to search through an iMessage conversation to find a specific message (or highlight all messages) that feature a given string I've searched for?


So far, in my attempts, a search for a given string takes me to the last message in the conversation, which, given the (at least) several hundred messages, is not spectacularly useful. I suspect that, with an iMac, or MacBook etc, this would be easier, but I don't own one; and sadly the convenience isn't quite worth the cost of purchase.





recaudio broken in modern iOS


A while ago I used to use the recaudio console application provided by Erica Utilities, installed in Cydia on jailbroken devices. It doesn't seem to work any longer, which isn't terribly surprising, since it was built in 2008.


When I run ./recAudio, I get:



Illegal instruction: 4


I had read that this was due to the binary being compiled for an older processor, and some people had recommended running:



sed -i'' 's/\x00\x30\x93\xe4/\x00\x30\x93\xe5/g;s/\x00\x30\xd3\xe4/\x00\x30\xd3\xe5/g;' recAudio


And while this helps, now I am getting:



Start talking. Press ^C to finish.
Starting recording
Could not start Audio Queue


At which point I Ctrl-C doesn't work, and I have to kill the process to get out. I am left with a 4096 byte empty AIFF file.


Has anyone had any luck getting this to work on more modern processors and devices? The project seems abandoned and I haven't found any sources for me to try to recompile.

Yosemite Spotlight Calculator suddenly stopped working


I use Spotlight's Calculator feature occasionally, but I've noticed that it has stopped working recently. Instead I get a "No Results" message:


Example calculation not working


I've verified that Calculator is enabled in Spotlight System Preferences. Restarting the computer does not help. I also tried disabling and re-enabling the Calculator setting in Spotlight.


Any other ideas?

How to repair and/or reinstall Homebrew safely?


I am trying to repair Homebrew.


I recently tried to reinstall it but when I typed "brew doctor"


My output was:



shell-init: error retrieving current directory: getcwd: cannot access parent directories: No such file or directory
chdir: error retrieving current directory: getcwd: cannot access parent directories: No such file or directory
chdir: error retrieving current directory: getcwd: cannot access parent directories: No such file or directory
The current working directory doesn't exist, cannot proceed.


I have tried to re-install it by typing this into the command line again:



ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL http://ift.tt/YQTuQh)"


But my output is:



It appears Homebrew is already installed. If your intent is to reinstall you
should do the following before running this installer again:
rm -rf /usr/local/Cellar /usr/local/.git && brew cleanup


How can I fix my Homebrew install?


Thank you.





Master slide object automatically arranged on top of foreground slide


I have over 200 slides and would like to get rid of a few objects which are all positioned in the same positions for each slide.


These objects are not a part of the template master, so it is necessary to go through each slide.


I'm thinking that I can cover them with a coloured square using the master slide template, however I am having trouble applying the slide so that the square I created sits on the top layer automatically (in order to cover the undesirable objects without manual input).


Any ideas?





Using automator, sort objects by type into type folders, inside subfolders


long time no ask! Anyway, I've been tasked with a project that involves sorting folders into new folders based on type. I've been working on an Automator action, but I haven't had much success. What I'd like to have the folder structure look like is:



Main Folder




-Movie




-Project name
-Photo
-Project name
-Document
-Project name
-Audio
-Project name




I can sort my folder into the audio/photo/movie/document folders, but I cannot make new subfolders and move my items into them, I simply lack the knowledge. Any suggestions would be really helpful. Thanks!

Can you dictate Emoji on iOS?


iOS (and presumably OS X) understands the underlying Unicode descriptions for Emoji icons. When reading iMessages back to you, Siri can use these descriptions to translate Emoji into words.


For example, Siri is able to describe all of the following:



  • 😃 is read aloud as "happy face with open mouth"

  • ❤️ is "red heart"

  • 🍣 is "sushi"

  • 💩 is read as "poop"


Is there a way to do this in reverse? That is, when I dictate to Siri or keyboard Dictation, translate what I say into an Emoji? Something like:



Let's go to the movies exclamation point emoji happy face with open mouth



and iOS would dictate that as:



Let's go to the movies! 😃



I've tried various command words but have not been able to find a way to do it. It may not be possible. Does anyone know for sure?





Boot Camp only detects two out of three monitors


Setup: brand new MacBook Pro with Retina Display plus two 27" Thunderbolt displays. So, three displays in total, which works like a charm in OS X.


Unfortunately, when boot-camping into Windows 8.1, it detects only two of these: the one on the MacBook and the (first) external one:


enter image description here


Note that interestingly, the devices plugged into the secondary external monitor still work - e.g. all three cameras are there.


Any ideas?





How Many USB Controllers Are in the Late 2014 Mac Mini?


I am transferring a lot of data to a large number of iPads from a Mac Mini, over USB. I am finding that the late 2014 Mac Mini is significantly faster at completing the transfer than the Mid 2011 model.


If it's relevant - I'm connecting to iPad 2s.


I think I can rule out any CPU / Ram differences.


Have Apple added more USB controllers to the new Mac minis? My understanding is that the old models had 2 controllers, is it possible that the 2014 model has 4?





Open Terminal.app but hold open?


I have a shell script that runs on my mac (./go), it opens a ssh session on a raspberry pi then runs a script which streams video from the raspberry pi to a UDP port on the mac.


I also need the mac to run a receive script (./tsplay) so it can view the streamed video.


The problem is that I have tried to use the command open -a Terminal.app ./tsplay before the SSH session is started, a new terminal window opens but it doesn't wait for stream data to come in and it exits - [Process completed]



#!/bin/bash

source network.conf

rm remote.conf

if [ "$1" != "" ]
then
sed "s/FRAMERATE=25/FRAMERATE=$1/" video.conf > remote.conf
else
cp video.conf remote.conf

open -a Terminal.app ./tsplay

An application will automatically reinstalled from mac app store after uninstallation


It's so weird that I don't know how to explain it.


Blackmagic Disk Speed Test is the application that I'm talking about. I don't remember installing it, and first time I see it in my launchpad, I drag it to trash and delete the application. A few days later I saw it in launchpad again.


The application is my app store purchase section, I tried to find a way to delete it from my purchases list. but could not find a way.


Any suggestion?


--- Edit ---


Could it be a kind of virus, or something? But I installed every app from app store





I can't install or remove windows 7 or later using Boot Camp Assistance?


I tried for a couple days to install Windows 7 on my MacBook Pro which has OSX Yosemite (10.10.2). As you see in the capture, the third checkbox is disabled. I create a Windows 7 on a USB flash and downloaded the latest Windows support software from Apple, all I have to do is install it on the Mac.


What's the problem here?





ADDED THIS INFORMTION FOR DAVID ANDERSON'S ANSWER.




  1. I checked the latest firmware, every thing was OK except Boot ROM Version, mine was( MBP101.00EE.B07), I tried to update it but the last number was different MBP101.00EE.B02




  2. Model Identifier: MacBookPro10,1



  3. Last night I Removed every thing on my Mac and then I used the Internet recovery for installing the OS again, It was successful.

  4. My internet is not very bad, 600KB/s, and the boot was fast.

  5. I did backups using TimeMachine, and also created image using Disk Utility.

  6. I have a USB connected, I can write/read because it's formatted MS-DOS(FAT).

  7. Before I buy this Mac, I had a PC running Windows 7. I have 8 years experience in Windows, but I'm totally new to Mac OS.


And for the Out put of the commands, here it is:

Export Keynote Presentation with soundtrack to pptx

iMac login window doesn't react for a long time when waking up my mac


I have several problems with my iMac. I have an iMac 27" Late 2012 with an Intel Core i7 3,4 GHz, 16 GB Ram, 3 TB Fusion Drive, a NVIDIA GeForce GTX 675MX (1 GB Ram) and OS X Yosemite 10.10.2.


Every time, I wake my iMac up from screen locked (⌃ + ⇧ + ⏏) he shows the typical "spinning beachball" for a few minutes, until I can enter my password.


Another problem is that, when I open System Preferences and click on "Mouse" I also had to wait a few minutes, until I can change the settings. While waiting, he does also not show the Animation on the right side. The animation becomes visible, after he stopped showing the spinning beachball. While this, only the System Preferences are stuck. All other apps are working properly and also the system is working and does not show the spinning beachball, while I wait for the preferences to load. The spinning beachball is only visible, when my mouse pointer is over the system preferences. Opening the Mouse Preferences takes 2 and a half minutes, which is in my opinion too long to be a normal loading process.


And now the crazy thing. When I lock my screen with the key combination (⌃ + ⇧ + ⏏), it also takes a few minutes, until the screen is black and locked. But when I lock it with clicking on the lock in my status bar and then clicking on "Lock screen", the locks the screen immediately. As I am not allowed to post pictures here is a screenshot of the lock in the status bar and the option below, that I click, to lock the screen immediately: http://ift.tt/1J8DzS9.


How can I solve that problem? The problem existed first after I installed OS X Yosemite 10.10, but the 10.10.2 update didn't solve it. Resetting my iMac didn't work too.


Thanks, iComputerfreak

Getting Swedish Apple keyboard to map the same way in Bootcamp (Windows 7)


Whenever I use Windows 7 through Bootcamp, my keyboard mappings are totally different. Many special keys get mapped to what they would be on a PC keyboard, which is a real pain since I program on both platforms (and I am mostly used to the mac layout). The problem characters are these: []{}|\


On my SE Mac keyboard, I use these combinations:



  • [] - any alt + 8/9

  • {} - any alt + shift + 8/9

  • | - any alt + 7

  • \ - any alt + shift + 7


When in Bootcamp, it behaves like a Swedish PC keyboard:



  • [] - right alt + 8/9

  • {} - right alt + 7/0

  • | - right alt + >

  • \ - right alt + ?


I have tried numerous keyboard settings without any difference. I was able to switch control and command using a register key but I have found no way to switch the combinations above.


Is there any way to fix this?


As I understand it, US keyboards do not have this problem since the above keys maps the same way on Mac and PC keyboards. I really envy that...

iOS Simulatoor installed app location in Xcode 6.1


I am trying to locate the actual location of app installed on iOS simulator. I am using OSX 10.9.4 with Xcode 6.1


Already tried looking Application Support folder but can't find the simulator location. Tried a bunch of different locations as well, but can't find anything. Any ideas where can I find it or where should I look in apple documentation regarding this? Any pointers will be appreciated.





How can I choose a specific location for Logic's 40GB of additional content?


I have an SSD onto which I've installed the operating system OS X 10.10.1, as well as my applications. I also have a much larger and much slower internal HDD for storage and other rarely-accessed files.


I use Logic X for audio editing, and I have historically enjoyed having access to the 40GB of instruments and sounds referred to as "additional content" optionally available for download from the program menu.


When attempting to download the additional content, Logic informs me that there is not enough free disk space to download all 40GB, which is just as well, because even if I had the space I would prefer that these 40GB of additional content files remain on the HDD rather than the SSD.


How can I specify an alternate location in which to keep Logic's 40GB of additional content files?


If there is no such setting, would it be possible and/or advisable to create some kind of file system pointer for the additional content's folder, à la unix-style symbolic link, across different physical media? (or at least to another partition on the same physical disk?)

Mac Won't Boot. Help needed


I use top-notch MBPRO15 Late 2011 with the latest OSX and all the recent updates installed. I had booting problems before which I managed to solve through CMD+OPTION+P+R. I'm not sure what exactly caused the problem, but it helped a couple of times. But starting from yesterday I'm failing to make it boot whatever I do with it.


So I'm having this:



  1. I turn on the Mac

  2. Chimes go as expected and the initial login screen appears

  3. I put my credentials and booting progress bar starts up

  4. After like 30-60 secs the progress bar disappears leaving me only with a grey screen.

  5. Two options possible afterwards (i) the screen stays grey for as long as I wait or (ii) the mac reboots leading me to the initial login screen.


When try to go to the Troubleshooter with CMD+R the sequence is exactly the same. Instead of the Recovery mode I get a frozen grey screen.


If you need any more information to localise the problem please ask.





Late 2008 Apple Aluminium MacBook complete reinstall


I have a pretty old Aluminum Macbook (late 2008). I pretty much have the original MacOS installation, continuously upgraded to Mac OS Yosemite. Nowadays, it is kind of hard to get by with 250 GB of HD, so I thought about upgrading to a bigger HDD.


I kind of have the feeling that a clean reinstall of MacOS after 6 years of running it would be a good idea, at the same time I do not know where the original installation CD is left. Is there a way to install Yosemite directly??

  • If they forward same email to themselves from mobile phone and if they first open on outlook, then text is back again.




What can I do to solve this issue?
