I am trying to write an AppleScript that will check if a network drive (in this case, my Time Capsule) is mounted and, if not, mount it. I've figured out how to mount the Time Capsule, but I am at a loss over how to have the script check whether it is mounted first and just exit if it is, or mount it if not. tell application "Finder" mount volume "afp://AirPort%20Time%20Capsule._afpovertcp._tcp.local" end tell Does that the job? set mountedDiskName to "AirPort Time Capsule" set diskIsMounted to false tell application "System Events" to set diskNames to name of every disk if mountedDiskName is

I'm having a devil of a time preserving aliases with rsync over ssh on OSX (Yosemite) rsync -av -e ssh me@N.N.N.N:/Users/me/stuff/ /Users/me/stuff does not preserve aliases. It makes an alias on the destination... but it doesn't point to the original file (on the destination). Firing up a Finder window, turning on File Sharing on the source, and drag and dropping preserves aliases, but that's the only way I've figured out how to do this so far, and I would prefer a non-GUI solution. Would something besides rsync work over ssh? I've tried both native OSX rsync as well as Homebrew's. Thanks

I want to get a thumbnail representation of a file I have to display in my app. I'm using NSURL here: NSDictionary *thumbnails = nil; BOOL success = [fileURL getResourceValue:&thumbnails forKey:NSURLThumbnailDictionaryKey error: &error]; This works fine if I am connected to iCloud, and the URL is a link to a file stored in iCloud. The fileURL is something like: file:///Users/me/Library/Mobile%20Documents/BJXXGLR9R3~com~myapp~icloud/FileStorage/contact-page%20copy.png If I use the same code with a NSURL pointing to a local file, however, the thumbnails dictionary is empty. Here is an example of

I'm trying to run Apache in Mac OSX Yosemite using MacPorts' PHP (mod_php53.so). Note that I'm not using MacPorts' Apache but Yosemite's Apache with MacPorts' PHP. This was working fine with OSX Mavericks and Mountain Lion in the past. I get this error when running /usr/sbin/apachectl -t in Yosemite: httpd: Syntax error on line 228 of /private/etc/apache2/httpd.conf: Cannot load /opt/local/apache2/modules/mod_php53.so into server: dlopen(/opt/local/apache2/modules/mod_php53.so, 10): Library not loaded: /opt/local/lib/libaprutil-1.0.dylib\n Referenced from: /opt/local/apache2/modules/mod_php53
