Some keyboard keys not working on password input to Yosemite login screen


As stated in the title some keys don't work when trying to input my password into the Yosemite login screen. The weird thing is that if my mouse isn't plugged in (Razer Naga) when I turn on my Macbook Pro the issue doesn't occur and if I restart my Macbook Pro, even with the mouse plugged in, then everything works as expected.


I never had this problem in any previous versions of OS X.





Replace Apple In-App purchase with custom bitcoin based prefill system?


Am I allowed to use in my iOS app a prepay system, where user can upload bitcoin to use in-app premium services? I want to avoid pay 30% for Apple.





Can I test App in Apple store


I found an iOS 8 bug and that bug doesn't allow me to test mediation between ads. I know it's not an issue with my code because everything works fine with iOS 7 simulators and devices and iOS 8 devices work. But on iOS 8 simulator it doesn't work. Problem is, I don't have an iPhone 6 and iPhone 6+ device and don't know anyone who does. The test of device takes about 10 minutes and has no negative affects on device. Would I be allowed to hook up my Apple MacBook to the iPhone 6 in the Apple Store to test my app?





SSH via sudo cron on Yosemite


I have a shell script that is supposed to run via cronjob on Yosemite, also when no user is logged in. I discovered the cron has to be edited with sudo crontab -e to do that.


The script connects to a webserver via SSH, which has been set with ssh-copy-id. But the ssh connection only seems to work if I run the script manually.


My first guess would be that the ssh connection from the sudo cron can't access the local key for the user (as this happened to me on another system in combination with ForwardAgent: Yes. But I am not sure and have no idea how to debug this.


Here's an abstract version of that script.sh:



#!/bin/sh
hosts="user@server.com"
for h in $hosts ; do

# make a local directory: this works every time the cron runs
rm -r /Users/user/Webserver-Backup/cron-lastrun
mkdir /Users/user/Webserver-Backup/cron-lastrun

# make a directory online: this never happens
ssh $h rm -r /home/${h%%@*}/public_html/cron-lastvisit
ssh $h mkdir /home/${h%%@*}/public_html/cron-lastvisit

done


Is it even possible to ssh with a key pair via the sudo cron? If yes, how do I have to set up the login?

Flash Player breaks Safari!


As of a few days ago, some Safari webpages (the first and most frequently-occurring of which was Facebook's News Feed) would start loading but then freeze up. I went into Activity Monitor, and while it did say that Safari Web Content wasn't responding, it also said that Flash Player (Safari web plugin) wasn't responding. Force Quitting the Safari Web Content didn't do anything; the page just reloaded and froze up again, but when I forced Flash Player to quit, the misbehaving webpage refreshed and worked perfectly. After several more instances of the problem I uninstalled and reinstalled Flash Player, and the problem happened again.


I've currently got Flash Player uninstalled for stability's sake, but I can't live a Flashless life forever. How can I fix the problem?


UPDATE: It just happened again after I attempted a reinstall. This time, I checked my Flash version.


OS X 10.10.2, Safari 8.0.3, Flash "NPAPI Plug-in version 16.0.0.305 is installed."





iTunes 12 will not play albums - just one song at a time


I have iTunes 12 and it will not play albums in order - just one song at a time. I have tried all kinds of things to fix this.


Something I noticed is that none of the songs are checked any more and I don't know what that means.


I can't figure this out. Help.


Thanks





How to re-open a conversation?


So I can close a conversation in Messages on my Mac and it handily disappears. I can't seem to figure out how to re-open that conversation manually (as opposed to getting a new message in that conversation, that is).


Does anyone know if that's possible?





Fonts on my iMac randomly become blurry (badly anti-aliased) until restart


I have a late-2009 iMac with Yosemite 10.10.2.


Recently, I've noticed that some system fonts randomly become blurry, as though there's a problem with the anti-aliasing. This affects:



  • The OS X Menu bar

  • The right-click context menu

  • The side-bar in the Finder window

  • Etc.


In this screenshot - you can see how the text in my browser window looks sharp, but the right-click context menu items are blurry:


Blurry fonts in the right-click context menu


They are not blurry when I restart. At some point, usually with in a few hours, and not after any specific, repeatable event - they become blurry. (I've never noticed exactly when it happens. All of a sudden, when I stop focusing on my work, I notice that they're blurry.


If I restart the Mac, they become sharp again, but only temporarily.


I've never played around with any settings that might have caused this change (e.g, I haven't changed LCD font smoothing or anything). And I haven't replaced the graphics card. In short - I haven't changed anything that I'm aware of.


Thanks in advance for any advice or insight!





Retrieving Simpsons game


I recently upgraded my iPhone from the 4S to the 6 version, and my "Tapped Out" game effectively reset itself back to zero, losing all the stuff I built up in 2 yrs. of game play.


I still have it on my 4S, but deleted the new and NOT improved game from my v. 6.


Question: How do I retrieve my Tapped Out/The Simpsons game for my iPhone 6? Is there some way to transfer the original game from my old iPhone to my new one?





How to fix a Macbook Pro (late 2013 model) with liquid damage?


I bought a refurbished 13" Macbook Pro (late 2013 model retina) from the Apple store website in Sept 2014. It worked great till last month, when I had some water leak out in backpack and get through the ports in the Macbook.


I believe it has affected the logic board which connects the power port to the battery. When the system is plugged into the power adaptor, it works normal. But, as soon as the power adaptor is unplugged, the laptop shuts down as battery charge can't get going. The diagnostics are showing that the battery should be replaced.


I took the laptop to the Genius Bar and was told that there is a flat fee for liquid damage repair - $795. I bought this refurbished laptop for $1300 and paying $795 seems quite expensive. I can continue to use it with the power plugged in, but it reduces its usability considerably. Also, once in a while the power cable gets disconnected shutting down the system unexpectedly.


I called my renters insurance as well, but they did not cover the claim. I may have to just bite the bullet and get it repaired, but I was wondering if anyone has any suggestions on if there are any other options that I have to fix this?





How to keep server shortcuts?


Here's my issue:


I connect my mac to a local server at work, where I keep my work files. In the finder, I create folder shortcuts under "Favorites". However, as soon as I disconnect from the local server, I lose the shortcuts. They are removed automatically. Which means, if the system can't find the server, then it removes the shortcuts to the server. Other operating systems don't remove the shortcut, they are still there but just not accessible.


Is there a way to tell the mac to keep the shortcuts?





What do I really lose if I backup my iPhone to iTunes without transferring purchases?


I don't want to waste tens of gigabytes of space on my laptop to store apps that I can just as easily download from the App Store.


Assuming I would have to recover an iPhone backup from iTunes to a brand new replacement iPhone, what will I lose if I don't agree to transfer purchases when making the backup?





Mac OS X Mavericks DNS name lookup order change?


I noticed Mavericks prefers the DNS server to /etc/hosts (scutil --dns). There used to be a good 'ol "order hosts,bind". Is there anything equivalent for Mavericks so my hosts file is consulted before reaching out to the DNS server? Thanks.





Highlight object groups in keynote


I have 3 groups on a slide that I want to highlight 1 at a time. Is there a good way to do this? My slide has a gradient background so putting a rectangle over the objects and faking it mucking with their transparency doesn't seem like a good approach.


Is there a way to make objects start out opacified? If so, I can use the opacity action on the objects, but when I tried to use an opacity action, on transition, with duration 0, it didn't work. Having a short (0.1s) duration causes kind of a jarring flicker.


I also thought about using multiple slides with magic-move handling the opacity changes, but I didn't see a way to change the opacity of a group.


I'm running Keynote 6.5.2 on Yosemite (the most recent releases of both I believe).





Thunder Bolt to Dual VGA adapter


I am having a hard time finding an adapter from Thunderbolt to two separate (not mirroring) VGA outputs. You would imagine that if it is designed to do that Mac would make an Adapter for that very application. Any one have any suggestions?


I am using a Mac Pro if that helps at all.


My ultimate problem is that I am using two thunderbolts to power two identical projectors with VGA and each projector is stuck in different resolutions. The Projector company suggested I try using a thunderbolt to Dual VGA adapter.





Does app review rejection list all issues?


Our app was rejected recently with reason Google+ signin, which we understood is not according to Apple policy and need to fix.


While discussing about this issue we came across an interesting question with Apple review process, does Apple review team list all issues (if more than one exists) while rejecting app (or) would they stop reviewing other areas as soon as they found an issue (in our case Google+ signin)?

How do I know my mac turns off because of overheating?


My Macbook Pro (Yosemite) early 2011 sometimes unexpectedly turns off when running heavy tasks on battery power. Is there a way to confirm this is because of overheating?


Here's a part of system.log from the moment of shutdown. What other logs can I read?

Will a bootable USB made with boot camp work on PC?


I just finished building my PC. It has no optical drive but I made a bootable usb with my iMac. When I plugged it in my PC motherboard recognized it, I chose to boot from the USB but it takes to me a blank screen.


To troubleshoot, I tried it on my Asus laptop running Debian. I selected the usb to boot and it just boots up Debian. So something is not working with the USB. Any suggestions? Is it possible that making a bootable USB with boot camp won't work on PC?





Dying iMac drive, emergency repair assistance [on hold]


I have a older 27" iMac ( 2011 ) and the hard drive is on its way out in a serious manner, ( smart status failing, io error every few seconds in much kernel log , speed of io is the worst I have ever seen) out of AppleCare, cannot get it to a apple store for at least a week due to them being busy and I require the machine for tomorrow . I am wondering if anyone can fill me in on a few questions. I will be starting this task in about 8 hours



  1. Can I ignore the temperature sensor if I install any sata drive in it or will it cause long term damage ? Can I hack it up with something else ?? ( if so what are the pinouts to the sensor ) can I cheat by finding a FireWire drive and simply install/ boot from that temporarily ? Would it be smarter to get my hands on a 128 gig sdhc card and use that instead ?

  2. Is it possible to create a bootable flash drive to re-install mountain lion, and can I do so from any old OS X machine ( yes I know , but i have no reason to slow down a ancient machine any more by installing Yosemite ) if not is it possible for me to use dd to copy the recovery partition from another iMac to the new drive ? Or is it locked to the hardware serial number of a specific iMac ?

  3. Is it really "that awkward" to replace the drive ? ( I read a few guides they are all full of comments of people complaining about it being a very fiddley job, I have a little bit of electronics experience ( 10+ years of hobby electronics , 13 years of professional software development with over half of it being embedded systems )

  4. Has anybody ever done this ( and if so how long did it take ) ?

    1. What is my risk of bricking the machine or damaging a ribbon cable which I cannot easily replace?

    2. Any maintenance that I should perform while I am In there ?




P.s. If this question is considered to broad please feel free to edit it to narrow its scope rather than vote to close





Banish the tab bar on Safari 8 (when tabs are open)


With a trackpad, one can do a pinch and see all open tabs. It's a very nice interface and really well done. The thing is, with this feature, there is really no need for the tab bar, and things would look a lot cleaner without it. Yet Apple doesn't seem to give us the ability to hide it when more than one tab is open.


Does anyone know any hacks to hide it?

I figured that it might be a bad PMBR. From all accounts, this is just an MBR with a non-bootable partition in it. I created an HFS disk on a USB stick, and copied the MBR (dd if=/dev/disk7 count=1 of=/dev/disk6) to the ailing disk.


I used R-Studio to scan the disk. R-Studio finds files and directories and such.


Ran TestDisk (separate command line disk utility) It's numbers agreed with GPT's.


I then used dd to make a backup of the first 34 blocks of the disk, and used gpt to destroy and recreate the partition table.

No joy. I'm missing something here.





Numbers: VALUE function does not recognize empty string


I am using Apple Numbers and find it frustrating that cell arguments containing empty text (and sometimes contain numbers from other sheets) are not converted to a number of value 0, when referenced by a function that expects a numeric value.


For example, a function in cell:



=MAX(I5,0.5×J5)


with J5 being empty, yields an error message



The operator “*” expects a number but found “.”


So I tried to encase J5 with VALUE(J5), and got another message:



VALUE requires a string specifying a number, but found “” instead.


Is there an efficient way to treat all spaces as 0 for the countless cells that may have that situation?

how can i retain the artist name


most of my songs in iphone are ripped from CDs. In this case, song's information like artist name are typed by myself, saved and synced well to my iphone through itunes but some cases, the information automatically changed the letters then saved. I'm perfectly sure it's the songs from artists that i've purchased from itunes before


for example, if i ripped songs then put the artist name with all capitalized like "KING CRIMSON", and sync to my iphone, it shows me the exact same artist name.


But if the songs were from artist that i purchased before from itunes, then the artist name capitalized is changed as uppercase remained only on first letter automatically during sync process (ex, BEATLES --> Beatles)


the point is that even songs ripped, not purchased from itunes are changed, too if the artist's songs were once purchased before


i'm korean, and for my poor english, please check below 2 images


first one is song information ripped from CD (you can see artist name all capitalized) and second one is captured image from my iphone (artist name automatically changed)


anyone helps me how to fix the uppercased artist name?


first one


second one





How do I force OSX to use IGMP version 2?


I am connected to an old NETGEAR smart-switch which only supports IGMPv2. It doesnt route multicast traffic to my mac because it joins the group using IGMPv3.


I tried this:



sysctl net.inet.igmp.default_version=2


but it doesn't work - OSX still sends out IGMPv3 packets (confirmed with wireshark).


Is there a way of forcing IGMPv2?


Im using Yosemite (10.10.2), in case that makes a difference.





Placing finger twice on Finger Scanner on iPhone 6 plus changes view


I was fooling around with iPhone 6 plus and found that when you place finger twice on finger scanner or rotate your finger on the scanner the currently running app or the menu views move down to half for the screen.

Here are the screenshots how it looks. enter image description here


This is when the calendar app is open


I'm not worried of this behaviour. I'm just curious why such thing is happening.

That dark green color is displayed when an app is running and you do the finger thing.





Upgrade failed to download from Mavericks to Yosemite


Apple newbie here. I tried to update OSX from Mavericks to Yosemite. The downloading failed. It showed me a message saying "an error occurred". So what I did is to search on google what were the recommendation. I followed a tutorial to reset the download again here: http://ift.tt/17tYkGN


After doing that the message was gone although the button now turns to just "Download".


enter image description here


It prompt me to restart my computer to install. But I was worried because I know that the download failed. Any suggestion on what to do? Is there any way to re-download the update just to make sure I have all the files.

Different programs in the same Xcode C++ project


I am trying to use XCode as my training environment for simple C++ programs. If I create a new project, I can successfully complete everything (compile, run) but If I add one more file, it can't compile as a separate one. That means that I need to have a main2() and a main3() etc. because having 2 files with two main() in the same folder lead to an error.


In simple words, I want to write code for 30 C++ examples, each one in its own .cpp file and compile every one of them separately and not as a whole project (all files together that If there are two functions of the same name, it will crash).

Configuring Time Capsule to distribute ISP given DHCP address


I am using tikona broadband internet and they usually have a 5 IP address restriction. I managed to by pass that by using a linksys router WRT120N . I setup the router to distribute IP addresses as 192.168.1.2-20.


However, when i am connecting my new time capsule, it seems to distribute IPs from DHCP as 10.x.x.2 onwards only.


How do i set up the time capsule so that it takes 10.x.x.x a its IP from DHCP and distributes over the network IPs as 192.168.1.X onwards?


That is also needed so that i will not have to login on each individual device with the ISP username and password on their website.





Custom color remapping (would like to tint screen red, while also tinting red toward black)


In order to help my sleep, I use Nocturne to tint my screen dark red at night. This is similar to what the ever-popular Flux does, but more extreme. However, it creates problems when a document has red text or images on a white background. They are now red text or images on a red background -- that is, they're invisible.


Is there any way to do more sophisticated color mapping? I'm imagining a "filter" that changes white to red, the way Nocturne does, but also tints pixels that were already supposed to be red towards black. That way they will remain visible.


I'm not looking for professional-quality color calibration. It's fine if things look ugly and documents don't appear the way the designers intended. I just want a way to read, browse the web, and watch lectures while minimizing blue light exposure.


Possible solutions


It sounds like one possible solution would be a custom ICC profile, as described in this question. I don't know how to create one, though. Can anyone point me to an existing one with these properties, or is there a relatively simple graphical tool that can help with this?


Non-solutions


Here are a few options that don't do what I'm looking for:




  • f.lux, Nocturne, Black Light, Screen Shades: I'm not sure if they could be altered to do what I want, but as-is they don't offer enough options. Nocturne lets you change white and black to any arbitrary color, but I also need to remap reds too.




  • The "invert colors" option: Not useful since my goal is to tint everything red (i.e., reduce exposure to blue light).




  • UI-customizers like Flavors: I don't just want to change the colors of system elements, but of everything that my computer displays (including documents, videos, etc).







When does the fan in Apple's Thunderbolt Display go on / get noticeable?


When / why (which use cases) does the fan in Apple's Thunderbolt Display go on / get noticeable? We're talking well behaving displays here, not misbehaving ones.


I'm "fighting" to have a low noise notebook, so I don't want to be disturbed by the display fan.





Tinny bluetooth mic input sound


I'm using the philips SHB7000 bluetooth headphones with my MacBook. They paired fine, but the audio quality over bluetooth was terrible. I remember having this issue on my previous macbook, and promptly found that the preferences for BluetoothAudioAgent need to be adjusted:



defaults write com.apple.BluetoothAudioAgent "Apple Bitpool Max (editable)" 120
defaults write com.apple.BluetoothAudioAgent "Apple Bitpool Min (editable)" 80
defaults write com.apple.BluetoothAudioAgent "Apple Initial Bitpool (editable)" 120
defaults write com.apple.BluetoothAudioAgent "Apple Initial Bitpool Min (editable)" 80
defaults write com.apple.BluetoothAudioAgent "Negotiated Bitpool" 100
defaults write com.apple.BluetoothAudioAgent "Negotiated Bitpool Max" 120
defaults write com.apple.BluetoothAudioAgent "Negotiated Bitpool Min" 80
defaults write com.apple.BluetoothAudioAgent "Stream - Flush Ring on Packet Drop (editable)" 30
defaults write com.apple.BluetoothAudioAgent "Stream - Max Outstanding Packets (editable)" 15
defaults write com.apple.BluetoothAudioAgent "Stream Resume Delay" 0.75


This seems to have addressed the tinny output quality. Problem now is, that input quality is still tinny. Does anybody know what I can try or do to address this?


Summary: bluetooth headphone input quality is very low with Macbook.

OSx - Signed App is not opening after installing from Packege


I have created an OSx application and Signed it with my Developer ID. I archived the application and then just exported it as Application and here it is working fine. But, when I exported it as Package installer it had an issue. After installing my app via installer, it came in launchPad but on trying to open it It failed, nothing happen neither any error nor any effect of launch happened.


I checked my Gatekeeper state it is also completely disabled, so It should not stop my app to be executed.


I also have checked this thing with both Mavericks as well as Yosemite.


If anyone have some idea on such case then please respond as I badly need solution.





Mac App enterprise distribution outside AppStore with MapKit


Either I'm being stupid (probably true) or there is hadly any documentatio to address the question:


How can I distribute an Enterprise Mac app which uses MapKit?


Background: We have built an iOS app and server which has a Mac app to act as the admin dashboard. Obviously the client doesn't want the OSX app in the app store. It wouldn't be relavant to anyone except their admins and might even attract hostile users. I've managed to make developer signed releases for their team which work in all respects except they won't display maps.


I was hoping for something like the iOS enterprise store for Mac apps but I can't find it and it seems that MapKit is limited to AppStore releases.


Am I missing something?





what is difference between gcc version and Xcode gcc version?


This maybe a little silly question but I am very confused


executing pkgutil in shell I get



$ pkgutil --pkg-info=com.apple.pkg.CLTools_Executables
package-id: com.apple.pkg.CLTools_Executables
version: 6.1.1.0.1.1416017670


the above tells me version 6.1


and gcc version in shell tells



$ gcc --version
Configured with: --prefix=/Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/usr --with-gxx-include-dir=/usr/include/c++/4.2.1
Apple LLVM version 6.0 (clang-600.0.56) (based on LLVM 3.5svn)
Target: x86_64-apple-darwin13.1.0
Thread model: posix


This says LLVM version 6.0 , Can anyone explains what the above versions are telling are which version of what !!

Fixing Smart Mailboxes


I recently had to restore my ~/Library/Mail folder from a Time Machine backup, and upon opening Mail it imported the mailboxes seemingly successfully, however my Smart Mailboxes no longer function, despite appearing to be correct.


My smart mailboxes aren't anything fancy, they basically just group similar items; for example, if accounts A and B both have an IMAP folder named "Newsletters" then the corresponding smart mailbox simply combines messages that reside in either folder; it's a simple match any rule for each mailbox.


However, even though these smart mailboxes appear to be valid (pointing to the correct mailboxes), nothing is appearing within them at all. I've already tried rebuilding every mailbox, as well as closing Mail, clearing its entry under ~/Library/Containers (to force it to rebuild its cache) and relaunching. I've also tried creating new smart mailboxes, but these don't work either, so there must be an index somewhere that's not functioning correctly, but I've already tried deleting the envelope index files under ~/Library/Mail/V2/MailData.


Is there anything else I can do to solve this problem?
