Note: macports appends the version number to commands if they look odd below. Error: Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/tmp/mysql.sock' (2)' I get this error when: mysqladmin5 -u ro...
I like the plist serialization capability for small collections of objects: it is simple, the storage is XML, etc. But I find setting values in dictionaries cumbersome: [myDict setObject:keepThis forKey:@"ivar"]; I'd much prefer to use object derived of classes (or even just structs): myObj.ivar = keepThis ... and then send a messa...
I am looking for sample code or documentation on how to use client side certificates with SSL under MacOSX. The server I want to connect to, does speak a custom ascii protocol but allows only ssl connections with registered client certificates. I already wrote a client in Java that works. In Java I initialized a SSLContext with a Ke...

Please `gem update --system` and try again. However, when I run gem -v the output is 1.3.5. What happened here, ...
In the Java Desktop Application template used by Netbeans, a menu bar is created with JMenuBar and JMenuItems. How can I get that bar displayed at the top, where menu bars are displayed in MacOSX instead of in-window, like in Windows? ...
I have a third-party library (the interface to Xerox's Finite State tools) which come as universal binaries with two variants internally: a PPC and an i386 variant. I also have a Python interface to the library (which uses ctypes). But when I try to run the example code provided with the Python interface I get an error complaining about...
I want to make it that for a certain file type, the icon is dynamically generated by my app. For example, photos appear as thumbnails in the Finder - I want .myapp files to appear as special, per-file generated icons in the Finder. How can I do this? ...
Ok, so here's the setup. In OS X (>= 10.5), is it possible, given a mounted usb device with a known location, say /Volumes/FLASHDRIVE, to find out whether this device is connecting through another usb device (a card reader for example) and if so, which one. Ideally, this could all be done in python, but if not that's ok too. ...

I would like my application to look similar to that of the Windows version: instead of the menu being displaced to the top menu in Os X, I'd like my program to have the file menu right on top of the application itself. I've looked at the Qt documentation regarding this, but I can't seem to create an empty QMenuBar as the top level QMenu...
I'd like to customize the way I draw the window title bar on OS X. Specifically, I'd like to do something like the Twitterrific app where there is a custom close button, no min/max buttons, and the window title text is right-justified. Unlike Twitterrific, I'm not looking to custom draw the entire window (though I'm not completely oppose...
