I would like to launch a shell command when a specific external bluetooth device is connected to my Mac. A nice way (without installing third party software) to do that is by adding a plist file in ~/Library/LaunchAgents On this page , there is an example of launching an event when the wifi connects to a specific location. It is done by watching a specific file : <key>WatchPaths</key> <array> <string>/Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/com.apple.airport.preferences.plist</string> </array> Do you think it'd possible to do the same with bluetooth events ? Thanks for your help ! iero Create

I work on a MIDI-based project in Java and struggle to refresh the list of Midi Devices. As far as i know MidiSystem.getMidiDeviceInfo(); should give me an Info[] Array. Nothing happens for me however. The Objects inside the Array stay the same when new devices are plugged in or out and so is it's length. Searching Stackoverflow brought me to this 6 year old question . One of the comments suggests, that being on OSX/macOS might be the issue. I haven't tried my program on Windows or Linux yet, but it should work on OSX/macOS anyways. Another comment suggests setting the cache time to something

Using the new Xcode 8 GM build on the GM of macOS Sierra, I've recompiled a Qt 5.7 C++ project and I'm getting the following error message when trying to launch the app: Reason: no suitable image found. Did find: /path/to/my/lib/libio_core.dylib: malformed mach-o image: symbol table underruns __LINKEDIT This doesn't occur on debug builds, only release. Does anyone have an idea as to what this means and how to go about fixing it? Update: This actually has nothing to do with Xcode 8. Building the same code with Xcode 7.3.1 results in the same outcome. It seems some apps that ran just fine on El

Is it possible to access the open tabs of Safari or Google Chrome? A URL would be good or the title of the tab or both? The purpose of the app then the user could specify some websites and add labels to them and the app would measure how much is spent on those websites, the app would be allowed through accessibility. Use an AppleScript to get the title and the URL of each tab. You can use NSAppleScript in Swift to run an AppleScript. An example ( Safari ) let myAppleScript = "set r to \"\"\n" + "tell application \"Safari\"\n" + "repeat with w in windows\n" + "if exists current tab of w then\n"

It would appear that Gatekeeper in macOS Sierra is a bit pickier. At any rate, it is causing a small utility I made some years ago to throw a rather annoying error. As I haven't yet had the time to dig into the under-the-hood changes in Sierra, I'm not sure how to fix the error. Does anyone have experience dealing with errors relating to AppTranslocation and fixing them? Code and error follow: Code : tell application "Finder" set currentDir to POSIX path of ((container of (path to me)) as text) end tell set currentDir to quoted form of currentDir set lib80211 to quoted form of "AirPort Utility

Is it possible to listen/observe for new notifications macOS receives? I mean like when a new iMessage or a Slack message is received (so basically everything that causes NotificationCenter to display a Notification) Short answer: It is not possible. You can't observe user notifications sent by applications unless an application provides a specific API. For example the AppleScript dictionary of iMessage and Mail contains events scripts can respond to. However user notifications are encapsulated in the target application. There is a global notification class named DistributedNotificationCenter
