Hi all,
I am trying to login to iTunes Connect and it tells me my login info is incorrect. I reset the password and have email confirmation that all is well, but then when I try to login again, it tells me that, no, something is wrong.
I am using the same password for my iCould details as I can't seem to have different logins for the two (iCloud and iTunes Connect).
Can anyone help me?
I have an app developed and ready to submit to Apple... only I can't login!
Thanks,
Duncan
I have two version of Xcode installed right now - Xcode 5.0 for iOS7 development and Xcode 4.6.3 to be able to submit one of the existing apps using iOS6 SDK. Will 4.6.3 still work after upgrading to Mavericks or I need to postpone OS upgrade until I'm no longer need old Xcode?
I am currently waiting on my Developers account becoming active, I have now been waiting 24 hours does anyone know how long this takes for the UK?
Hi
new to xcode I see with bvi the code with strings. Can I hide those alike g++ on Linux does?
Also 2nd how/where to change the output location in xcode?
Many thanks
I've seen videos where people mainly use "Single View Application" and I've also heard of "Spritekit". I aslo know there are others. Which one would be the best to use to develop games and why? Why would you use one over another for a game out of any of the templates?
Can I design a program and linking the program special server and PIN will be a fingerprint ?
When submitting there's a new question, alongside with the one for the encryption:
"Does your app contain, display or access third-party content?"
I guess showing ads means I should check "Yes", but I checked "No".
Should showing ads be checked as "Yes" and how to correct the answer?
I rejected the binary in order to get trough the process again, but now it shows only the question about the encryption.
Hi,
I'm using an AppleScript in conjunction with Growl to create a new text file in Dropbox when a tagged notification is displayed, but a permission error is stopping the process. I've got read/write access to the folder, com.Growl.GrowlHelperApp (in Application Scripts) but the error's persisting. Can I alter something to fix this? The error reads:
The document “Untitled” could not be exported as “[text file].txt”. You don’t have permission. To view or change permissions, select the item in the Finder and choose File > Get Info.
I'll be using Hazel to move and eventually trash this file once it's triggered another workflow, so it's not ideal to fix each text file as it's created. I'm new to AppleScript, thanks for any help offered.
Hello!
I’m seeking for a way to store/archive mails on an external volume.
How do I prompt MAIL with the path leading to my desired storage location?
MAIL should display my Archive-Mailboxes as soon as the external volume is mounted/connected. In the left column of the MAIL-UI, it would more or less look like this:
…
2011-01_MAIL-ARCHIVE
2011-02_MAIL-ARCHIVE
2011-03_MAIL-ARCHIVE
2011-04_MAIL-ARCHIVE
…
This would systematically free up storage space on my hard disk each time I archive a new period.
Any hints would be much appreciated !

Hey.
I am trying to enroll in the iOS developer as a business. I am not sure what I have done wrong, but I cant get after they ask me for the DUNS number. After finding the number, I encounter an error that says:
The D-U-N-S® Number you entered belongs to a branch/division.
Please use your headquarters information to enroll. Only legal entities are allowed to enroll in an Apple Developer Program as a company/organization.
Could someone help me? Thanks.
Ideally, you need a REST server to connect to your remote database. There are many frameworks like Jackson and Jersey that are reasonable alternatives but it does require too much effort. One of my friends work at a startup that just came up with a way to get RESTful API to any of the SQL databases. You may want to try it out and see if it works for you at EspressoLogic.

Hello Everyone
So I came accros IOS Development quit while ago but I am Under 18 so I asked my mom to register me as an apple developer since I wasn't in the allowed age but she wrote my name on it .Which means that the account is registered under my name .So I made a game and I want to sign up for iad but it sees that I need to be at least 18 so what do I do ? I can't just pay another 99$
Please help
Thanks

Are you following the tutorial exactly? Please provide a link to the tutorial.
The problem I see is that your table view is configured for dynamic prototypes. Normally the storyboard would have a single prototype cell representing a To Do Item. The table view controller would programmatically set the cell's label text for each To Do Item in cellForRowAtIndexPath: "Finish Geography," "Study for Exams," "Sum Up Weather."
Xcode throws the multiple prototype cells have the same identifier error because your storyboard has three To Do Item prototype cells, when it should have only one.
If you want to add each To Do Item to the storyboard, set the table view to use static cells instead of dynamic prototypes. This would not be the right solution for a real app because the To Do Items can change, so should be persisted in the model, not in the storyboard.

Hi All,
Yesterday I purchased apple developer program for 99$. The time I registered for this program, I was told that, I will be receiving a mail within 24 hours time.
Just now I checked bak the site since I have not received any mail from apple yet.
Finish up your enrollment by completing the purchase of your Developer Program. Additional information will be provided to you once your purchase is complete.
But I have already paied for this and I checked my account balance too. Why does it still saying that I have not purchased apple developer program.
Could anybody help me here who has already gone throught this process.
Thanks in advance for any help
Ok say for instance i make a simple one page application with a webview in it and its connected to apple.com and i connect and run the app on my actual iphone it doesnt show that im using data. Meaning it doesnt have the little loading sybol in the status bar... This is weird and why is it doing this? Its only the applications i make and put on my phone through xcode not safari or other data or wifi using apps.
If you are recording the display of your own app, that is probably fine. If you are attempting to record the display of other apps, I doubt you will get that working in a manner that would be acceptable for an App Store submission.
Though there are many queries flowing around asking the same question. But here the error is thrown by apache instead of Perl. I am trying to create an XML Response for the client on Mac OS X Mavericks and have written the perl script as follows:
#!/usr/bin/perl -wT
use lib '/opt/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.16.1/Geo';
use strict;
use CGI;
use Geo::Gpx;
open (FH, "/tmp/temp/file.txt") or print ("Unable to Open File");
my $gpx = Geo::Gpx->new;
my $cgi = CGI->new;
print $cgi->header(-type=>"text/gpx",-status=>"200 OK");
my $lon;
my @arr = <FH>;
foreach(@arr){
my %waypoints;
my $var = $_;
my @lat = split(/\s+/,$var);
#@waypoints=split(/\s+/,$_);
$waypoints{$lat[0]}=$lat[1];
$waypoints{$lat[2]}=$lat[3];
$gpx->add_waypoint(\%waypoints);
}
my $xml = $gpx->xml;
print $xml;
open FILE, ">/tmp/temp/xmlfile.xml" or die $!;
print FILE $xml;
close (FILE);
close(FH);
For the apache to find the actual path of the Gpx.pm, I have used 'use lib' to show it the real path of the file. Although this script is working perfectly on command line, my apache server is throwing the following error:
[Tue Nov 26 18:34:51 2013] [error] [client 127.0.0.1] Can't locate Geo/Gpx.pm in @INC

[Tue Nov 26 18:34:51 2013] [error] [client 127.0.0.1] BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at /Users/Rachit/Sites/temp.pl line 7.
I have used macports and have found searching through the Web that Mavericks has got perl 5.16 preinstalled. So apache may be using that and perl is using the macport installed libraries. On checking the paths mentioned by apache error_log file as I posted above, I have copied Gpx.pm in one of the libraries installed in Geo Folder but still not getting it resolved. On running 'which perl' The result
/opt/local/bin/perl
And 'which cpan' is giving
/opt/local/bin/cpan
Kindly fix this issue as I am not able to move forward because of this. And I am not so familiar with apache.
Thanks
Hi,
I managed to change the name of my app when it is installed in the device name is correct.

Hi all,
I am fairly new to iPhone programming and to using iPhone in general, so please don't be mean.
That said, I am looking for a way to get the current free disk space of my iPhone programmatically.
I suppose it has something to do with NSFileManager and files/directories attributes, but I can't figure it out.
Thanks!
Do you have a paid account because free accounts don't have access to iTunes Connect?
What do i need to do about this. I have just created app developer account and want to hold app name for couple of days. Please help..
Hi,
Im planning to make an app for users and one of it functionalities is display recording, but not the main functionality.
Will that be legal to approve the app from Apple ?
Thanks
What do i need to do about this. I have just created app developer account and want to hold app name for couple of days. Please help..
I have just got an iPhone 5s and whilst it’s wonderfully advanced in the features it offers, unbelievably in having it I am taking an enormous step backwards. My car (an Audi & a Bentley) require remote Sim Access Profile (rSMS) in order for the in-car phone and in-car navigation system to connect to my Sim card. In fact virtually all upmarket brands use this profile to connect. Is Apple going to provide an update to resolve this major flaw in its otherwise remarkably advanced device?
After installing this update from the App Store, when I run xcode-select --install, I get an error message that the command line tools cannot be installed because they are not available on the Software Update server. Did something change?
So you have read the first User Tip - App Development 101: Planning and are now ready to get started. Good. Let's do that.
The previous User Tip was addressed at both business owners and developers. This, and any subsequent ones, are focused more towards developers. But there may still be some technical planning that only the business owner can perform. If the app your are planning is going to interact with other services on the internet, then you will need to work with your developer to plan how to access them. If these are not your own services, then you may need legal advice as well. The internet is often thought of as a freewheeling, copyright-free, anything goes zone. For most consumer-level activity, that is pretty much true. For business activity, that is not true at all. Companies that turn a blind eye towards pervasive, worldwide copyright infringement by consumers will sue a business in a hearbeat for even the slightest hint of infringement of intellectual property like copyrights, trademarks, and/or patents. Doubt me at your peril.
It is a critical responsibility of both the business owner and developer to ensure that you are not violating anyone else's rights regarding their intellectual property. That includes artwork and sounds in your app, marketing materials, trade names, and internet services. Internet services that are not your own will come with terms of use that you must follow. As a business, even if providing a free app, most of those consumer-level terms don't apply. You must read them very carefully to see what you can and can't do from an app. Remember that you are not Google and you will not get a free Fair Use pass. What is acceptable for major corporations, or indvidual consumers, is sometimes illegal for small businesses. Such is the way of the world.
That being said, there are many services that you can use. Just read the terms of use. Apple offers many internet services such as iAd, Maps, iCloud, iTunes, and others. There are a number of organizations that provide open data such as Wikipedia, OpenStreetMap, and governent agencies. Read their terms of use and use them.
If you are writing an app that will make use of internet services, either your own or from someone else, the first task is to identify how to access them. In some cases, their authors provide SDKs that can be included in your app. In other cases, there are published specifications on how to access this data. If you are planning your own internet service for your app, then you should design and test it before your app. The standard method for accessing internet services today is using a RESTful architecture with JSON data. You can, and should, develop and test access using tools like CURL and Perl, Python, Javascript, etc. from the command line. You may want to setup a local web server for testing the entire system on your Mac.
Although this is technically the "Getting Started" Tip, you never stop planning. Consider how your app and service will scale. Maybe your app will become an overnight sensation. The last thing you want to see is a popular app get stopped by a insufficient infrastructure. You could overwhelm a third party service provider and they could cut off access to their service. This is another reason to have your own servers available. You might want to consider cloud services as well. You need to make sure that the methods and technologies you use can be moved to new servers and distributed across the cloud, if necessary. From an app perspective, your servers are more than just web servers. Apache may not be appropriate. You may want to consider other servers such as Nginx and Node.JS. Even if your needs are modest, I strongly recommend Node.JS for internet services. It is very easy to write a Javascript RESTful server in Node.JS. No PHP or CSS required.
Don't neglect your data. While you may not be concerned about scaling, there are other factors to consider. If you are providing internet services to your app, you will probably need a database. On the server side, MySQL is easy and ubiquitous. If you need to persist data inside the app, we use Core Data now. There are other methods, but they are at risk of scale. If you are developing apps as a way to market yourself, then be honest about that and factor it into your plans. While you may not need anything more than MySQL, NoSQL experience is far more valuable these days. The same applies for Cloud services.
Don't forget security. Security is a huge topic. If you are providing internet services, be very careful about private user information. Abuse of private information can get you kicked out of the Apple Developer program, or worse. Don't assume your service won't be hacked. It will. You may want to consider encryption. If so, that will require yet more planning, paperwork, and time to secure the appropriate certifications from the US government so your app can be sold or downloaded from Apple's US-based services.
What happened to Getting Started? We haven't even started coding yet? That's next in App Store 103: Coding.

Hello,
I am having problems changing my AppleID name. On Apple ID summary, it shows my moms name. Before I was 18 the billing information was under her name. Now I have changed it to my information. When I go to "Account Details" it shows my information, but when I go back to Apple ID summary, it still showers her name. How do i fix this or who can I talk to, to get this changed?
thanks
i have a page in my application where i have a UIWebview what i want to do is have a progress bar somewhere on the screen to indicate the loading status on the page.

I have Mavericks with Xcode 5.02 on a 17" 2.5 GHz intel core 2 duo. With Xcode open with a project, I clicked on the window size icons in the upper right corner of the window. I got a full screen that can't be moved, and I can't get to the corner of the window to change its size.
How do I reverse this?
I'm a new Apple Developer doing design work on a few ideas. My questions are:
1. Can an App program read a file "external" to itself (not in the App program itself) and change the number of icons painted on the screen at startup? And if so, can the icon names and pictures be changed by whats in this external file? Here is an example.... I'm looking to design one App that the screen "appears" different for each user of the program. Lets say User 1 wants his screen to show his picture and 5 icons on his screen with info unique to him... User 2 wants 2 icons with his info.... User 3 wants 9 icons with their data displayed. The key here is none of this is "hard coded" in the App programming itself, but held in a user file (maybe a CSV file), that is read at startup and then paints the screens accordingly. Otherwise, I need 3 different apps to complete this idea. I hope this makes sense to some of you out there!! Thanks so much for any input you might have!
Finally ready to start coding? Before getting too excited, make sure to read App Development 101: Planning and App Development 102: Getting Started first.
First ask yourself a question. Do you have any coding experience? If the answer is yes, then skip to App Development 104: Coding on the Mac. If the answer is no, then read on, because you need to get some experience. The nice part about this is that any coding experience is good experience. You don't need to learn Objective-C to start. You don't have to have a Mac to get starting coding. While having both would be ideal, if you don't have any coding experience at all, but do have an opportunity to learn other languages on other platforms, then take it. There are a number of ways to start learning, each with its own issues.
The traditional route - school. You can always enroll in programming classes at your local college or university. This is how most developers working today learned how to code. But the demographics are changing and a university degree in computer science is no longer a requirement, if it ever was. The good part about formal education is that you you have a very high chance of success. You will learn both computer science theory and practical, hands-on experience. Both are critical for success. The bad part about formal education is the formality. They teach what is easily teachable, not necessarily what you want or need to know. It takes a long time. Classes run at their own pace, which is likely either faster or slower than you would like. Finally, higher education is meant to teach you anything. It is designed to provide you with a degree that is evidence of your abilities, not your skills. The weeding out of the less capable students is just as important as the teaching. Professors provide some assistance but it is ultimately the responsibility of the student to learn. At the top end of the market are big, expensive, private "Ivy League" universities that focus on high admission standards so they have the luxury of having only the best students who will all get jobs upon graduation. At the bottom end are the big, expensive, private "for-profit" universities that focus on profit and provide degrees that have very little marketable value. In the middle are a network of big and small, public and private institutions where you might be able to attend, actually learn something, and maybe put that to use. But you are going to have to work at it.
Do not bother to look for Macintosh or iOS-specific classes. At best, those would be upper-level classes and usually just don't exist. Again, any experience is good experience. Don't fall into the university trap of focusing on languages like Python, C, Java, C++, etc. Language is irrelevent. Each language has its own specific traits and focus. There is nothing wrong with that. Just learn another language and compare.
The do-it-yourself route - books, videos, and tutorials. Included in this category are any online classes from any institution that would otherwise be listed above. Programming is inherently a hands-on learning task. With enough practice, you can learn how to code. Undoubtedly you will miss out on a lot. Here is a list of recommended introductiont to programming books:
1) I need content here
2) K & R?
3) Big Nerd Ranch?
The bootcamp route. The latest craze in app development is the bootcamp. These are private, relatively short classes that focus only on programming - no French literature, hélas. These bootcamps will focus more on practical skills that are in demand. They are usually offered in major metropolitain areas. Some recommended bootcamp-style programs are:
1) I need content here
2) Big Nerd Ranch?
Finally, recognize that learning how to code takes time. There is no shortcut. Don't be intimidated by people who already know a lot. Also, don't try to code past your abilities. Work on projects that are only a little harder than you can manage. At any given stage of a programmer's development, there are lots of other programmers at the same stage. Seek out help online and in person from people who are close to your own abilities and experience level. They will better understand the problems you are having and will be better able to explain it than even someone who knows the material better. Look for online forums, clubs, and meetup groups. However, there is no need to wait until you have all the answers. Once you have written some cool code and developed an app you think would be valuable to someone, post it on GitHub and/or the App Store. Nothing has to be perfect.
Speaking of GitHub, be careful with open source. Open souce software can be a tremendously useful resource for end users and developers. I fear that it could be less useful for people trying to learn how to code. Don't use code that you don't understand. Play around with it. Modify it. Ask the author about it. Those are the strengths of open source. You can use it as a tool to code beyond your abilities, but remember Gandalf's advice, "Perilous to us all are the devices of an art deeper than we possess ourselves."
In spite of what you may have heard, Free and Open Source software is founded upon intellectual property and copyright. You must read and comply with all software licenses, especially as a developer. In some cases, developers are the ones that have extra work to do in order to comply with open source licenses.
Whatever route you take to get there, App Development is going to require Objective-C. If you already know C or C++, great. You are halfway there, if not more. If you don't already know C, now is the time to start. If you do know other languages, then the biggest difference is syntax. You can learn C on any platform, with any tools. The goal is not mastery of C, just the basics. If you want to start learning C on the Mac, then go ahead and proceed to the next User Tip, App Development 104: Coding on the Mac.
Writing Mac and iOS apps is an advanced topic. Don't try to build Rome in a day. Start small and slow. Take your time. Learn how to code. Learn to make good use of online resources like:
When you have mastered the basics and are ready to write some real Mac or iOS code, then proceed to App Development 104: Coding on the Mac.
Hello,
I have started looking into programming but the more I look the more I find interesting and think "I should learn this first, no this first" after seeing something else etc. Anyway my foremost problem and reason for initially wanting to start learning programing is that I need Mail to delete emails right away. It seems that it will take more time to learn this than I am willing to deal with the harassment. In the process of looking into programing I discovered Automator and Applescript, among other methods.
My thought process led to the decision this would be the easiest/quickest method. I need an Applescript that when used within Automator or by itself would make Mail apply rules upon opening not by me selecting Apply Rules. This way I would not have to see these harassing emails at all. Ahhhh, would that be nice. So please, Anyone that wants to take the time and write one of these I and I am sure a lot of other people would love to have such a script. Hope you have a great day!

So you want to get into the App Store, eh? This User Tip is a general road map of how to do that successfully. It doesn't have a step-by-step guide, but instead offers a road map to plan your journey to the App Store. This User Tip is targeted at both would-be App Store developers and business people.
The most important part of this journey is your goal. Where do you want to go and how do you want to get there? If you are a business owner who wants better penetration into the internet mobile device market, then you should strongly consider a mobile-friendly web site. They are easy to do yet surprisingly rare. They cover both iOS and Android devices. Nobody needs to approve anything. The principle is pretty simple. Take your existing web site, separate the content from the presentation. Create a set of desktop styles and a set of mobile styles. You're done.
You're still not sold. You want an app. OK. First realize that Apple demands that apps offer more functionality than just a mobile web site. If you are really developing a mobile web site, see the above paragraph. If you really want an app, then make sure to think of real functionality you can provide to your users, something that brings them value, and brings more value to their device.
What if you are a developer wanting to start a business? Unfortunately, others have already beaten you to the market. It is going to be an uphill battle. Unless you have money to live on while you develop your app full time, and funding to advertise your app when done, the hill will be very steep indeed. More and more, the App Store (Apple's and Google's) are turning into a marketplace of developers as much as apps. The race to the bottom is nearing the finish line. If you want to get a job developing mobile apps, you must have already published apps, preferably in both Apple and Google stores. If you are really marketing your own skills, why are you charging money? That is like sending a resume and asking for payment to see it. Obviously that is not going to work, so why not make free apps? Receipt managment and in-app purchases are hot skills, so go ahead and make a freemium app. Just don't expect to get rich. If you are able to make enough money to purchase some test devices, you are being successful. If you do get lucky and get rich, congratulations!
There are two partners in this dance, the business owner and the developer. If both roles are being played by the same person, you have twice as much work to do. See the above paragraph. If not, there are some other factors to consider, most importantly, money and intellectual property. The person who controls the Apple Developer account controls the app. That person can release updates, collect profits, and is responsible for support. If you are hiring a developer to build an app for you, you must obtain your own Apple Developer account. You give your developer limited access to that account. You must retain ownership of the source code to the app in case you need to hire a new developer.
If you are a business owner wanting to hire a developer, then you are going to need a Business Apple Developer account. This grants the individual people involved with the account some anonymity. Plus, this is a world-wide busiess being run out of Apple's store-front. Because of these issues, opening a business developer account will require paperwork, planning, verification, and time. Fraud is a major, world-wide problem and the law stops at national borders. If your company is not based in the United States, you will need even more paperwork, planning, verification, and time. Delays of weeks or even months are commonly reported. If you don't require a business account, then you should strongly consider an Individual Apple Developer account. You do lose some anonymity, but you are installing software on people's devices after all. Even with the App Store restrictions, that is a big responsibility not to be taken lightly. Own your name and be proud of it and the work associated with it.
Intellectual property issues aren't restricted to the App Store. If you are selling an app, or even giving one away, you must support it. This will require your own web siite and e-mail that are under your control. This means you will need to purchase your own internet domain name and your own web hosting service. There are many, many companies that provide these services. Personally, I use Dreamhost and have been very happy with them.
Creating an Apple Developer account requires that you be old enough to enter into a legal contract. That means you must be 18 years old or older. If you are younger than that, don't despair. Apple has an option for young developers. You can have your parent or guardian open a developer account in their name and you can legally use it to publish apps. Everything will be under your parent or guardian's name. Once you turn 18, you can transfer those apps into your own developer account under your own name. I strongly suggest that you have your parent or guardian create a separate Apple ID for all of your development activities. You wouldn't want to mix your parent's iTunes music with your own music would you? Well, your source code is even more important. You can have multiple Apple IDs so make use of this feature and keep separate activities separate.
So you are tired of reading and want to start coding? Then continue on to App Development 102: Getting Started.

Hello everybody. I need some help on runnig an application which uses self compiled sqlite library. The library is compiled together with the whole project and is located in the same directory as the application. The application compiles just fine without any complications but i get an error while trying to run it. Before the application cat start i get the following error:
dyld: Symbol not found: _sqlite3_intarray_bind
Referenced from: /System/Library/Frameworks/CoreData.framework/Versions/A/CoreData
Expected in: /Users/r00t/Documents/Develop/CPP/opticalmeltingcontrol/build/Debug/libsqlite3. 9.0.0.dylib
in /System/Library/Frameworks/CoreData.framework/Versions/A/CoreData
Program ended with exit code: 9
And the interesting fact is that i can run the binary from the file manager and it works without any problems. But i need to get it runnig with xcode.
Thanks for help in advance and forgive me my bad english.
With my compilation settings for sqlite i get the possibility to set a password for the database (this is never a default feature). The function i dont have is "sqlite_intarray_bind" and i could not even find this function anywhere in any heading files.
I dont have the possibility to use the XPC-Services, because i'm using the wxWidgets as the main framework (for the cross-platform application). And like i already mentioned, the application starts without the Xcode (manual start by openning the .app). Why is Xcode searching for other headings, when i say to it, where to search.
I tried to prioritize the path to the headings, but it didn't helped :/
P.S XML is no choice for me, because of the security and already programmed parts of the application.
Yes, you can provide the the ability for the user to configure how information within your app is displayed. Example: In the Music app, the user can specify which tabs should appear in the tab bar. A CSV file is probably not the best approach. Read the Preferences and Settings Programming Guide.
hi;actually recently i download Xcode program but i can not download iOS 7.1 doc set why is that please help me i need that

Same issue and I am surprised there is not much info available when you google for info.
Am surprised that one gets this kind of quality/service after paying $99 to Apple.
Pathetic!!
I basically used a youtube video to install a 480GB SSD Drive into where the CD drive goes. I formatted it, so its working and I now have 2 hard drives on my Mac book Pro, my orginal 150GB HD and my new 480GB SSD.
I have the time machine backed up on an additional external hard drive. So what Im trying to do is move everything on my HD drive to my new SSD drive.
I have started my laptop with command + R to go into reboot mode, I have selected reboot from time machine and then selected my new SSD drive to reboot it on - the problem is here I get an error message, saying there is a problem please restart your computer and try again.
I have tried different time machine back ups with the same results so I know its not that. The only other problem I think it could be is I still have everything installed on my orginal HD drive and the mac wont let me have 2 copies on my computer at the same time??
Anybody with experience would be helpful, I don't want to erase my orginal HD incase when I try to reboot I still get the same error message.
Thanks

Hey Guys and Gals!
I'm not able to get certificate to assembly and run a custom Safari extension.
Specificially I can not even enroll the Safari developer program. I get this screen:
I go with Individual licence, accept terms and I got only this message:
That's the screenshot:
What is really weird, its the url that has "ios" in it, it makes me think, the redirect happened to some wrong URL as I'm applying to Safari dev program.
What I have tried:
Nothing really worked out.
Any help is highly appreciated. Thank you!

I'm trying to install CHUD 4.6.2 on Mavericks - 10.9.2 and the installation fails.
I tried the Remove CHUD program which seemed to work, and then tried installing CHUD 4.6.2 again and it still fails.
Is there a new version of CHUD going to be released that works with Mavericks? Or does anyone know how to sucessfully install CHUD on Mavericks?
This is super dissapointing because atMonitor won't fully work without CHUD and upgrading to Mavericks (for the new version of xcode) is causing this issue.
I have XCode 5.0.2. My host file has
127.0.0.1 localhost
255.255.255.255 broadcasthost
::1 localhost
fe80::1%lo0 localhost
My OS is 10.9.2 Maverick. I updated to the two days ago to the latest SSL/TLS patch. But XCode still hangs when the simulator is running.
I bought a leather case and the box has returned.What should i do???It is possible to sendo to another address????

How to create a virtual drive of a non bootable drive ?

Hi all,
I am fairly new to iPhone programming and to using iPhone in general, so please don't be mean.
That said, I am looking for a way to get the current free disk space of my iPhone programmatically.
I suppose it has something to do with NSFileManager and files/directories attributes, but I can't figure it out.
Thanks!
An app that I made that was released about 2 years ago had some issues with iOS 7, so I fixed those and submitted an update. I got an email that it was missing 4-inch retina display screenshots (I know they are required now, but that slipped my mind I guess), so I went in to add those screenshots.
After adding all five of them (all of which were 1136x640, I triple-checked), I hit the "save" button. The following error appeared at the top of the page:
"Your binary indicates support for 4-Inch Retina Display. You must provide an 4-Inch Retina Display screenshot. You must upload screenshots for 3.5-inch and 4-inch Retina displays."
I definitely have all my 960x640 screenshots under the "3.5-Inch" section and my 1136x640 screenshots in the "4-Inch" section. Why is the page not recognizing that they are there?
We are a corporate customer who uses the iPod Touch to deliver a mobile solution geared for the healthcare/senior care industry.
Our app is currently delivered using wifi enabled iPod Touch devices leveraging the customer premise wifi network.
We've had some consistent complaints from customers that wifi connectivity with the iPod touch devices is inconsistent. After conducting a substantial amount of data collection at three customer sites, it appears that iOS power management is contributing to the issue on some level.
However, documentation is not readily available to help us understand how iOS power management works, and it what scenarios it will throttle power to the wifi radio. Our data suggest taht the following metrics have an effect on power management of the wifi radio:
- inactivity (guaged by screen touches, not accelerometer)
- weak wifi signal from the Acess Point (ipod will disconnect from a weak signal, while other devices remain connected)
- battery charge level (under 20% much more likely to experieince wifi issues)
Two questions:
- Where can we review more detailed documentation to help us understand how iOS power managment functions?
- How can we begin a dialogue to have Apple work with us to resolve (or provide some level of control over) these power issues?
