I have existing code that uses CMNewProfileSearch to find then iterate over the color profiles on the system getting their names and full paths. Unfortunately, CMNewProfileSearch is deprecated in Mac OS X 10.5 and is also unavailable when compiling a 64-bit application. In reading the ColorSync Manager 2.5 Reference, it seems like the ...
I'm trying to find a way to programatically get/set the default OSX system keyboard shortcuts (hotkeys) found in the System Preferences -> Keyboard & Mouse -> Keyboard Shortcuts tab. I need to be able to do this in the background, so GUI scripting is not a solution. I'm unable to find a plist or anything where this info might be stored...
I have a RootViewController class which is inherited from UITableViewController. When a cell is deselected by the user I want to enable/disable certain buttons on the toolbar. How do I trap the deselect event? -(void)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView deselectRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath animated:(BOOL)animated { if(index...
In wxPython on Mac OS X is it possible to display a custom icon when an application is launched. Right now when I launch the app I wrote, a blank white icon is displayed in the dock. How would I go about changing it? ...
I'm working on a library that must compile on linux and mac os X. Until now, I had no problem, compiling with "-g" worked well under both OS. I tried to compile with some optimization ("-O2") and it works well under linux but I get an Undefined Symbol when I try to link a program with my library under mac os X. Does anyone have any clu...

What's a good hex editor/viewer for the Mac? I've used xxd for viewing hexdumps, and I think it can be used in reverse to make edits. But what I really want is a real hex editor. ...
My company provides an eclipse based development environment which needs some environment variables setting up for the underlying toolchain so multiple versions can be installed concurrently and not take over the system. I want to provide an icon in finder or the dock which sets these then launches eclipse so customers cannot accidental...
Hi, I am using iPhone 2.0 SDK. I used the API UIImageWriteToSavedPhotosAlbum to save an image. A Saved Photos album gets created on the iPhone Simulator when I save an image but tested on the device the image gets added in the Camera Roll album. While debugging, no errors occur but the Saved Photos album is not created on the device. ...
I'd like to send an action to another object using cocoa. Ideally i would also like it to appear in the Interface builder. I've tried the apple documentation, but there is something i'm missing. Adding the following, the interface building only shows the action as a received one. - (IBAction)setTarget:(id)anObject; - (IBAction)setActio...
Hi Gurus, I have a program that receives an audio (mono) stream of bits from tcp/ip. I am wondering if the speech(speech-recognition) api in mac osx would be able to do a speech-to-text transform for me. (I don't mind saving the audio into .wav first and read it as oppose to do the transform on the fly) I have read the official docs on...
I have been given the option to either have a Windows laptop or a Mac laptop to do my Java development on. Before committing to one of these, I thought I would find out if there are any issues or benefits I should know about using a Mac laptop over a windows laptop? One thing I did hear was that the Java JDK releases are not always the ...
I really like my Mac, and I am thinking about developing Software for it some time in the future. What are the reasons why you're making Mac Software? Because you think Mac is so cool? Or is the market so interesting? I think many of us would like to know, right? Well for me, as I said, it's the coolness of the Mac. I don't know anythin...
Greetings all, I have a puzzling problem. I have a pointer to a vanilla NSView that was initialized in a nib. I message the nsview with [myNSView setFrame:NSMakeRect(0,0,816,1056)]; but when I step through the debugger, myNSView has a frame of {{0,0}, {801, 1041}}. The dimensions of the rectangle are 15 less than I've specified! Thi...
I have been sharpening the coding knives and getting back into dev. A few years ago, many people mentioned that the Symantec Think Pascal debugger that came on the (classic) Mac was the absolute bee's knees, and that nothing else was like it anywhere. I found that statement odd, considering that no one has tried to clone said debugger......
I've been using virtualenv on Ubuntu and it rocks, so I'm trying to use it on my Mac and I'm having trouble. The virtualenv command successfully creates the directory, and easy_install gladly installs packages in it, but I can't import anything I install. It seems like sys.path isn't being set correctly: it doesn't include the virtual s...
I have an installer program that lets the user choose a directory in which to install. The JFileChooser implementation on MacOS uses a native dialog (or at least it looks native). That's great. The only problem is there's no way to create a directory from this dialog ... you can only choose a pre-existing one, which is clunky. Is there...
Hello! I've just started development on Macs and have found Cocoa to be a useful and thoughtful framework, but its HTTP functionality has me puzzled. I have an NSURLConnection object to download a file from my webserver using the HTTP GET method. NSURLConnect's asynchronous connection is great, I get plenty of feedback, I get each chun...
