I have background process running as the logged on user that frequently tries to mount an AFP share to backup some data. If the share cannot be mounted this should just be ignored. In my script (bash, actually) I am mounting the share via an AppleScript mount volume snippet. In contrast to the mount or mount_afp commands, this appears to be the only way to automatically authenticate the user at the respective server with credentials from the Kerberos ticket or the user's keychain. In particular, I do not want to have to store a password in the script: try mount volume "afp://server/share" on

In Mavericks, the methods to open and close NSSheets has changed. And to make it tougher, the Release Notes do not match the current documentation (see below). I'm trying to do this: MainSheetController (NSWindowController): -(IBAction)callSheet:(id)sender { [sheetController openSheet]; } SheetController (NSObject): (void)openSheet { [[NSBundle mainBundle] loadNibNamed:sheetName owner:self topLevelObjects:nil]; NSLog(@"1"); [self.mainWindowController.window beginSheet:self.sheet completionHandler:nil]; NSLog(@"2"); } I get to 2, with no errors or warnings, but no sheet.. Current Documentation:

I was working with XAMPP 1.8.3-3 on OS X Mavericks. After upgrading to Yosemite Mysql server stopped working. And an upgrade to XAMPP 1.8.3-5 fixed the problem and mysql server starts working. Now the entire database list is showing on phpmyadmin, but no access to the tables. Its showing “#1146 - Table ‘DB_NAME.TABLE_NAME’ doesn’t exist”. Unfortunately I don't have any DB backup! I have the entire XAMPP folder backup. So how I can able to retrieve the mysql tables? just type /Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/bin/mysql.server start in terminal then start xampp you can restore if you have all the

I'm trying to install Scrapy using my homebrew python build. Despite having everything up to date, installed and in my path, I cant use it. Here's my order of operations: check brew: $ brew doctor Your system is ready to brew. check python & pip: $ which python /usr/local/bin/python $ python --version Python 2.7.6 $ which pip /usr/local/bin/pip $ pip -- version pip 1.5.4 from /usr/local/Cellar/python/2.7.6/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/site-packages/pip-1.5.4-py2.7.egg (python 2.7) (is this normal? this looks like there's two copies, possibly conflicting ) ive already

I use the Sparkle framework to handle my app updates. Everything worked fine until recently, when I upgraded to OS X 10.9 Mavericks and XCode 5.0.2. When I compile my app under OS X 10.8.4 and XCode 4.6.3, it can then be updated with no issue. But when I compile the exact same code, with the same XCode project and the same code signing under Mavericks and XCode 5.0.2, the generated bundle can't be updated, Sparkle crashing during the update process with the following error : Terminating app due to uncaught exception 'NSDestinationInvalidException', reason: ' * +[SUPlainInstaller

I just installed OSX 10.9 on my mac and ever since then my Chromedriver is not working when I try to run tests. The error I get is that "chrome was killed". Everybody keeps mentioning that it works when you set Chromedriver to --verbose mode but I have no idea how to do that. Any ideas?
