How to launch an iOS simulator with safari opened using a single command?


I am looking for a solution to launch the iOS simulator from command line with Safari launched by default. Launching the simulator from command line is easy. So is the launching of safari. But I want (rather need) to do this in a single command line statement which will be executed from some third party tool. Is there a possible way to do this?


I have xCode 6.0 installed with me on OSX version 10.9.4. Any help or guideline is highly appreciated. For now, I am starting the simulator using xcrun instruments -w "iPhone 6 (8.1 Simulator)"


But I am not able to figure out if we can pass extra arguments to this statement so that it launches safari as well.





How to completely uninstall iCloud?


I know how to disable iCloud, but I want to completely remove the possibility of using the service from my Mac for security reasons. I tried to delete the related files, but I do not have permission.


So how can I make sure that no user or application or system process is able to access iCloud?





I am getting an error 'pack with invalid duration' using ffmpeg with concat on Yosemite


I am executing:



ffmpeg -i concat:"intro.mp4|movie.mp4" -codec copy output.mp4


and am getting error:



[mp4 @ 0x7fc5f984ae00] Packet with invalid duration -1975 in stream 1


I can't seem to figure out what the problem is. The files are both H.264 AAC.


Can someone explain what causes this error?





How do I download Yosemite on my imac?


I have an iMac (newer than 2007),and I need to run this year's version of Turbo Tax. I am getting a message indicating that my current OS X, which is 10.6.8, is not sufficient to run this year's Turbo Tax (premier version).


I have tried to download Yosemite and have been unsuccessful. I assume that once I download a new OS, that it will appear in place of the 10.6.8 when I click on the Apple icon at the top left side of my screen and ten click on about this mac. How can I download Yosemite?





Logitech Type+ flashing blue; iPad Air 2 won't wake


When I leave my iPad Air 2 for some 5 minutes and return, my asleep iPad refuses to wake when I press the power button. I press the power button on my keyboard case (Logitech Type+) and the little light on it flashes blue. As of writing this has happened 3 times today and right now it just isn't waking. Any ideas?





Why do duplicates keep showing up in my address book?


I maintain a very clean address book (OSX), complete with photos and profile info of my contacts. Contacts are on iCloud and Exchange.


However, sometimes I'll get an email from a contact and the picture won't show up. In fact, an entirely new email-entry shows up in the address book even if that email is already associated with a contact.


Any advice on how I can make this stop happening? My Contacts is now full of duplicates.
