My PC is always recently showing low disk space despite me eliminating files. I ran Tree size and discovered large volume from iTunes sync backup. Before deleting in iTunes>preference, May I just copy/paste this directory
C:\Users\Owner\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup
to another drive first and in case I need to restore, I can copy it back to that directory and restore in iTunes? Thank you for your answer.
I have an applescript that I am using to clear out a huge folder. I can select all of the files but how can I indicate the "command delete" key while keeping all of the files selected? Basically after the "command a function" if I try to preform the "command delete" function it deselects all of those previously selected files.
I've a security daemon which performs many security related tasks. Daemon plist is part of /Library/LaunchDaemon/com.xyz.securityservice.plist also KeepAlive flag is 1.
The daemon I've currently can be stopped using this command - sudo launchctl unload /Library/LaunchDaemon/com.xyz.securityservice.plist
I wanted to restrict security daemon from unloading by this command.
I do not want anyone to unload/stop this daemon. One can stop security daemon only if he has security password(not system password) or if we send some private notification to daemon to stop itself. Daemon will observe this private notification.
Please suggest any pointer on this.
I have an iPhone 5S running iOS 8.1.3. I have removed all photos from the phone (i.e. the Camera Roll is empty). However, under Settings -> General -> Usage -> Manage Storage, it reports that 1.9 GB is still in use for Photos & Camera. Specifically, underneath that, it reports that 1.9 GB is being used for the Photo Library (which is ostensibly empty). This is a large chunk of the storage on my 16 GB phone!
I have tried doing a factory reset of the phone and restoring from backup, with no effect; it still reports the excessive storage usage. I've checked the following:
The Photo Library (and Recently Deleted) is empty.
Photo Stream is not enabled.
iCloud "Photos" is not enabled.
There is no photo sharing of any kind enabled.
Is there anything else that I should look at to determine why the incorrect amount of usage is being reported?

Brents-MacBook:~ thufir$
but where are the settings for accounts actually stored? The configuration files?
Equinux VPN Tracker 6 won't start on Mac OS X Yosemite. When starting up, a message says
Unable to load kernel extension
And invites you to restart, but to no avail.
Needless to say, I don't want to give them € 50 to upgrade to version 8 for the sake of a new UI. And I find their licensing policy (upgrade or perish) very unfriendly.
Any idea on how to get it to run?
My 6gb iphone 4s says I have no storage left.When I only have 2 apps on this iphone. This iphone was found and it has been jailbroken and erase all content and settings does not work. I've tried it several times but the loading circle never goes away even after I left it for hours. I need help to restore it to factory settings. I do not have access to a laptop so I cannot use iTunes. Help is greatly appreciated.
I have several bluetooth speakers, and more than 2 iOS devices. Once a speaker is paired with one iOS device (iPhone, for ex.), the next time I turn on the speaker, it connects (with beep sound) to that device again, even if that device is OFF, preventing it from connecting to a different iOS device I'm trying to use it with (iPad, for example -also previously paired with the speaker). I'm wondering if the latest Bluetooth specification has eliminated this annoying trate.
Recently, I was using my rMBP on battery power, with about 20%-30% remaining battery, according to the battery indicator. It suddenly shut off, and would not power on (not even showing the "battery low" screen) until I plugged in. After starting back up again, Yosemite now keeps enabling the "reduce transparency" option when I log in or wake the computer from sleep.
A SMC and NVRAM reset was done and did not help.
Background
I was presenting at a venue where the projector supports 1280x720px resolution (16:9) via VGA cable (I've previously used the same room and equipment on an older 2011 MacBook Pro running Mavericks).
Yesterday I used a newer 2014 MacBook Pro Retina running Yosemite, and was unable to set this resolution - the closest I could choose was 1280x1024px.
When the MacBook is mirroring to a projector via VGA cable, the > System Preferences > Displays panel looks something like this:
My question
Is there anywhere, other than the > System Preferences > Displays dialog, where you can explicitly set/force the output resolution?
My only options were 1280x1024 or 800x600, yet I'm positive the projector supported 16:9 since I've used it before.
These instructions say "install xcode", but then say "once you have xcode installed". Pardon, didn't they skip a step? How do you install xcode?
2.1.1. Install Xcode on OS X 10.9 or later
Download the latest version of Xcode from the Apple developer website or get it using the Mac App Store.
Once you have Xcode installed, open a terminal, run xcode-select --install, ...
Granted, I'm not running 10.9. Here's my version's instructions:
2.1.4. Install Xcode on older releases of Mac OS X
If you have an earlier release of Mac OS X, you may download the latest version of Xcode for OS X 10.5 (Xcode 3.0 and Xcode 3.1 Developer Tools) or 10.4 (Xcode 2.4.1 and Xcode 2.5 Developer Tools) from the Apple developer website.
Ensure that those of the following options that are available in the installer for your version of Xcode are selected:
UNIX Development
System Tools
X11 SDK
Command Line Support
I downloaded installxcode_421_lion.dmg for this system:
System Software Overview:
System Version: Mac OS X 10.7.5 (11G63)
Kernel Version: Darwin 11.4.2
Boot Volume: Untitled
Boot Mode: Normal
Computer Name: a MacBook

Secure Virtual Memory: Enabled
64-bit Kernel and Extensions: No

I double click the download and install it to Applications? Sorry, this is an alien process.
Today my app's metadata was rejected by Apple.
Reason -
"8.1 - Apps must comply with all terms and conditions explained in the Guidelines for Using Apple Trademarks and Copyrights and the Apple Trademark List" Your app does not comply with the Guidelines for Using Apple's Trademarks and Copyrights. Specifically, your app marketing screenshots show the iOS home screen and native iOS app icons.
I asked them why almost all other apps could use iPhone on app screenshots but I can't?
On that they answered:
On occasion, there may be apps on the App Store that don't appear to be in compliance with the App Store Review Guidelines. We work hard to ensure that the apps on the App Store are in compliance and we try to identify any apps currently on the App Store that may not be. It takes time to identify these occurrences but another app being out of compliance is not a reason for your app to be. Please remove any likeness of Apple trademarks from your app.
My app screenshots would loose all their beautiness without the iPhone... Has anybody had the same rejection reason? I dont belive that 70% of apps that have iPhone on their screenshots are in Appstore by a mistake.
I would like to hear your comments and thoughts about this situation. Thank you.

I'm thinking of getting a new SSHD for my early 2011 13" MBP, and if I do, I had the idea to give my 500GB HDD to my friend who has a 2007 MacBook (white polycarbonate). He seems to think that his computer can only take 80 and 120GB hard drives. Is this true?
I am using the
brew install emacs
version of gui-based emacs. After using the mac shortcut to access the Menu bar, I am able to use the mnemonic to access the individual top level menu items: e.g.
ALT-F for file
The problem is that then hitting down arrow key or return does not dropdown the menu items. Well .. with two exceptions: the
Alt-E (Emacs) and
Alt-H (Help)
dropdowns actually work. The others? Nothing happens. Only by using the Mouse (which is unacceptable to me for common commands in an editor).
Any hints/ideas on this?
My Messages app out-of-blue started to complain that my GTalk credentials are being sent in non-secured manner.
Your name and password will be sent in a way that is not secure.
Do you still wish to connect to this server?
This was working all the time and I didn't change anything (including my network).
How do I fix it?
I've checked my Server Settings for GTalk account, but it seems my 'Use SSL' is greyed out, so I can't enable it.
I'm seeing multiple folders with this character at the end on my nfs mounted external volume.
which is ASCII (ampersand-pound-61480-semicolon)
When I try to delete the character, the folder becomes a doc, and I can't see the contents until I remount the volume. This happens in nfs only, when I navigate to same folder via SMB the character is not there. I seem to recall 7-8yrs ago I had same problem, I think it was something like a macro from Microsoft Office... how do I delete thses and also prevent them from creeping back in?
My airport extreme is configured as bridge after a linksys (wifi) router. Using the airport I don't see the shared folders on my synology(DSM 4.2) in finder, except by connecting through the IP. This also means timemachine doesn't work using the airport network. Synology has fixed ip in network. Using the linksys wifi network or networkcable everything works fine. Same problem for my sonos system that isn't discovered through the airport network except after switching to the linksys network first.
When my music transferred from new macbook air to my iPhone 6 it seemed to become stored in the cloud rather than available to me on the phone when I want to play it and I am not always near wi-fi. I purposely purchased an iPhone 6 with 64k memory to avoid not being able to hear music and now it has happened anyway?
Instead of "from" showing (Name,Name)blablabla@hjgy.xxx - just show blablabla@hjgy.xxx.
Only want my email address to show on certain outgoing emails from certain servives, ex. show Name and email address from Verizon service but (no name) email address only when sent from Gmail service.
Thanks

I'm coding a website, just with a text editor and my browser. I use Sublime Text 3 and Google Chrome. When I hover my text editor over my browser, the background color of my site gets a bit darker in the area's of the shadows of the text editor. I don't really know how to explain this so have a look at this pic:
I have this on a mac of course, but when I make a screenshot the bug disappears. (Not my own pic)
I have this kind of lag when i'm dragging, but instead of window copies, the shadow lags and instead of shadows it's like a dark shade.
It's really hard to explain without pictures!
It's kinda buggin me because with this I can't really look at my website with ease.
I hope anyone has a solution or at least a similar problem!
Thanks in advance.
How might I run 2 versions of google chrome so I can log into to 2 different google accounts.
More specifically I am looking to have separate icons in the dock for the 2 separate running applications.
How might I run duplicate and or copy versions of the same application. The following linked question on SuperUser by Mark works for a lot of applications but not for Google Chrome.
It appears the following works link.

Awhile back, a pair of headphones I owned broke off inside of the headphone slot on my Mid-2012 13" MacBook Pro. I followed some instructions suggested by people online which involved using a bit of superglue with a toothpick to get the stuck piece out of the port. Unfortunately this didn't work, and I'm now stuck with the piece of headphone in my MacBook.
Naturally, OS X will not play any sound. When trying to adjust the volume I am presented with the "system problem" icon. (A speaker with an X under it, or something similar). Basically I'm assuming it's detecting an issue with the audio port. So in OS X I'm left with no sound unless I use Bluetooth headphones.
Today, I installed Windows 8.1 using Bootcamp. After installing the Bootcamp Support Software, I was surprised to hear that I could play sound through my MacBook's speakers. I have looked online in the past trying to find a way to override the headphone port in OS X. The general consensus seems to be that it's simply not possible, because the speakers are disabled on a hardware level by the piece of headphone. Obviously this is not true, since Windows is able to play sound.
Any ideas as to why this might be, or how I can actually go about bypassing the broken headphone port? I really appreciate any help that's provided. Thank you!
When somebody sends me an e-mail that is marked as "High priority" it does not show up any differently than other e-mails. I am expecting to see a red flag or other indicator to show that the e-mail has been marked by the sender (which could, for instance, be my boss) as more important or urgent and in need of immediate attention. Other e-mail clients I have used in the past did this automatically.
I have poked around a bit in the preferences and in the menus but I haven't found anything to enable such a feature. How do I enable Apple's default mail app to show me the information in the overview of my messages? (My mail window comes up with mailboxes/folders on the left, followed by a list of e-mail summaries (sender, date, subject, and the first few words of the e-mail) to the right of that, and on the right is the actual contents of whatever message is selected. I don't see any indication of priority anywhere.
Technical note: the sender is setting the following headers to indicate priority:
X-Priority: 1 (Highest)
X-MSMail-Priority: High
Importance: High
When I try to use packaging with my .app to create a Mac installer, and I run the installer, it creates me a folder named "Contents" in my /Applications folder, instead the "bundle app" as it should.
I've test with pkgbuild + productbuild:
pkgbuild --component "./myapp.app" --version 1 --install-location /Applications component.pkg
productbuild --package-path "component.pkg" --distribution "./Distribution.xml" --package-path "./Temp" --resources "./Resources" --sign mycert "myapp.pkg"
And just with productbuild:
productbuild --component "./myapp.app" /Applications -s mycert myapp.pkg
In both cases, I run the installer, everything seems fine, but in Applications folder I see "Contents" (that is the content of the app bundle)
I've tried with "./myapp.app/" also in --component attribute, and even adding "/Applications/myapp.app" in the --install-location

I recently downloaded an album straight to my iPhone's music library. The album is synced to iCloud however it keeps removing itself from my music library and I have to 'show all music on' and re-download it for it to be in my library.
How do I stop the album from removing itself to save me from re-downloading it every time I want to listen to it?
All the other songs in my library have been synced to my computer from a CD and downloaded from iCloud onto my phone.

I am learning command lines to encode videos (I use FFMPEG to change settings of the video, watermark, all this sort of things to improve my workflow)
Now I am trying to transform those command lines in droplets to make life easier. Last night I managed to turn my first one in an app droplet but I am missing the progress which I can see when I use the command shell.
I.E.
I can see frames per second, how much inside de video ... this sort of info
I would like to know if there is a way to modify / add something on this script to see similar progress, either tell terminal to open while executing the script or a detailed progress bar pop up.
This is the scrip I am currently starting with
