I'm having a problem with a Cocoa application I am writing. It has to parse a timestamped file that is updated every hour, and during testing it keeps crashing consistently at around 11:45 PM due to a segmentation fault. I'm assuming I must be messaging an object that has been deallocated. What tools are provided with the Xcode install t...

For example, if I click just outside the top lef...

What API's Cocoa or Core Foundation, can I use to make sure that when I write back to a file that already exists on the storage device, that the bits get written over? The idea is to clear out the bits for security reasons. ...
I've got a subclass of an NSWindowController that I'm using to load a window from a nib and show it on the screen. Below is the code that is called when I want to show the window. On 10.6 when showCustomWindow is called the window is displayed, but on 10.5 this method has to be called twice to get the window to display. -(IBAction)sho...
I have an NSBorderlessWindow subclass of NSWindow with a transparent and non-opaque background (so it's non-rectangular in appearance). I've added my own buttons to function as the close and minimize buttons when I click them, but for some reason the window will not respond to CMD-W or CMD-M like a normal one does. I have my NSWindow sub...

There are plenty of objects in each iPhone app witch will live forever till app dies. They are: application delegate, window, main view controller, may be navigation or tab controller, all the objects within them. Why on Earth should I release them just before quit spending precious CPU cycles? As far as I understand, apps process will b...
I've stumbled upon a problem in the application I'm developing using cocoa. I need to do some processing, and I'm doing it on a separate thread. I'm doing this so I can display the progress using a NSProgressIndicator and not hang the main thread. (The user can cancel the execution if he/she wants). It's almost working perfectly, But th...
Is there a built in username/password dialog box in Cocoa? I don't want to reinvent this if there's a standard way of doing it, but after googling, I came up with nothing. I often see that lock image with the application image superimposed on it, so I thought there might be something. ...
