I'm going to be working on some iPhone apps so I've been given a golden ticket to buy a Mac. However the golden ticket isn't worth that much, and I'm thinking iMac. Now, Macs are great, I love 'em and use 'em at home, but I know that the iMac is geared more towards the average consumer than the professional. Is an iMac going to be powerf...

Is there a keyboard shortcut to restore a minimised application window from the Dock?

I can only see my bugs, and post new bugs, but I can't see any way to browse or search the whole bug system. Is this an Apple restr...
After searching online, the best solution I've found so far is to just make a symbolic link in either "/Library/logs/" or "~/Library/logs/" to get it to show up in the Console application.

So in the implementation of the UIViewController class I added [self.view addSubView:uiview1] and [self.view addSubView:uiview2]. The problem is that when I run the app, it crahes on load. However, i...
