Hi,
I am maintaining a fairly large mac project and an iphone client for this project. Some code as well as some images and core data models are shared between these two projects.
I want to create a shared framework containing this shared components but to my surprise, frameworks like we cocoa developers known them are not supported on the iphone…
I'm trying to assign a mapped IP address to a Windows 7 VM. I have setup running in Parallels 5 in wireless bridged networking mode. The problem I am having is that it looks like the VM is actually broadcasting the MAC address of the host machine and thus causing a clash of IP addresses on the network.
This is my current setup:

When I need a Perl module, I typically use CPAN. It works fine. But not this time.
I want to use MARC::Charset, but this one uses GDBM_File, and I can't seem to install GDBM_File from CPAN.
CPAN finds it all right, but trying to install it, it starts installing the full Perl 5.10.1 distribution.
MARC::Charset is a rather old module, so there…
Hi,
I'm building an application that takes advantage of Mac OS X 10.6-only technologies, but without giving up backwards compatibility to 10.5 Leopard.
The way I do this is by setting the 10.6 SDK as the base SDK, weak-linking all frameworks and setting the deployment target to 10.5 as described in:

Using the Google Maps API (v3), I can create a map and handle normal click events just fine, but when I want to handle rightclick events, it doesn't work on Macs. I assume this is because a rightclick on a Mac is actually converted to a ctrl-click, but the Google Maps API MouseEvent doesn't provide…
I'm in my second computer science course right now. I've enjoyed programming so far, but really have just scraped my way by. I've not done much programming outside of required class work. For similar reasons, I never really invested in downloading/learning software to help me program (IDE's,…
I'm setting up a new dev Macbook Pro, and trying to replace bash with zsh. I installed zsh and can run it to change shell in a session. When I use
sudo chsh -s /bin/zsh username
I get the error message:
chsh: Operation was denied because the current credentials do not have the…
This is my first MacBook and I'm trying to get virtual hosts up and running so as it's going to be my dev machine.
I've got apache/php/mysql running fine, the problem is that what ever address I go to I just get one of the virtual hosts I've setup. I can't even get to the root site…
I have a 2 TB HFS+-formatted external hard drive that got dropped a couple of days ago while transferring files onto a Macbook Pro. Now the drive's partitions won't mount. Disk Utility can see the drive, but doesn't recognize that it has any partitions.
I've tried using Data…

Hi there
I was having missing fonts in Flash CS4, so I cleaned the font caches using the following commands in Terminal:
sudo atsutil databases -remove
atsutil server -shutdown
atsutil server -ping
These commands ran fine, so I restarted and opened my Flash file. Now…
Why does OS X insist on spinning up all the attached external drives (firewire, usb) when loading a file from the local (internal) drive?
It's driving me insane that I have to wait for 3 attached drives (1 back-up, 2 media) to spin up -- a total of 20s -- to access a…
I'm on my MacBook Pro and I want to use my Bootcamp partition to work on one screen. I've installed Parallels 9 and after I installed it and configured it to look at my Windows partition through the Bootcamp Wizard it gives me an "INACCESSIBLE_BOOT_DEVICE" error when…
I am using either Windows 7 or Ubuntu 12.04 and trying to SSH into OSX 10.6.
Using Vim color schemes, I can emulate the colors on xterm-256 color on Linux and gVim on Windows. However, I would like the colors to follow through when I am SSHing onto the OSX. The…
I currently have a 27" iMac i7 with the 512mb ATI card. After looking at prices on other Apple displays it appears I can purchase another low-end 27" iMac (Core 2 Duo basic model) for less than a 30" display.
3 Part question:
Can I easily use the lower-end…
I'm running Snow Leopard on a MacBook Pro. My Finder has decided to be very busy, and neither restarting Finder nor a reboot cools it down. Spotlight doesn't report activity, Time Machine isn't busy, yet top -ocpu reports Finder is running between 30% and…
I have been having problems connecting with my Wi-Fi. It is weird, the ping times to the router (<30 feet away) seem to surge, often getting over 10 seconds before slowly coming back down. You can see the trend below. I'm on a MacBook Pro and have done…
I tried upgrading the version of LibXML2 in my machine to run some propietary software. Compiled as 32-bit (-arch i386) and restarted to see if it worked. Now when I try to boot I can only get into the spinning screen and it just sits there.
Restarting…
I recently purchased a Targus Lap Chill Mat, which is a USB powered device, but doesn't have any interface/storage/etc function.
I'd like it to power-down when my (macbook) laptop sleeps (since the fan obviously doesn't need to be running when the…
I'm looking to impose a hard limit on a movie. In particular when I have earbuds in and a reasonable volume set, loud or sudden sounds (gun shot, dramatic sound effects, gun fire, etc) are loud enough to hurt. Lowering the volume makes speech and…
I have three external HDD's in a USB enclosure. After a recent upgrade to Win7, during which these three drives were actually installed inside the PC tower, two of the three drives now have a 200MB EFI partition, and the two drives do not show up…
I don't care for actually using mail app, I use mostly the gmail interface and mail app just for offline, for quickly reading and eventually replying.
