Is there a good overview of initWithNibName, awakeFromNib and viewDidLoad that lays out the best way to use each of these and describes exactly what each does? I find these very confusing. In the template that's generated with a View Controller, the comment about initWithNibName says: "The designated initializer. Override to perform se...

I would like to find the number of cpu sockets on OS X machines. This information is normally in the SMBIOS on pc's. Newer Intel Macs use EFI but I have read that the EFI does also contain an SMBIOS block. I therefore appear to need access to the SMBIOS data block on power pc machines, and the EFI, SMBIOS section on Intel macs. Any sug...

We recently made the switch to CS4 on a Mac from CS3 on Windows. Now we are having issues getting our flash movies to load. We get the "Movie not loaded.." error. We are using swfobject. The same Flash file worked fine prior to editing with CS4 on the Mac. ...
Hey guys. I added a box-shadow to a section of a page recently to give it the same shadow border effect that is seen on Mac OS X apps. It looked great, but I noticed that scrolling up and down on the page made it lag. I usually only see this on pages that have annoying background images and tons of images and embedded videos plastered al...
I'm playing with the socket layer in my cross platform framework and I'm trying to get the connect's to work in a non-blocking fashion. However after pouring over the docs they just don't seem to be behaving correctly at all. The heart of the problem is that after initiating a non-blocking connect the following select failes to notice th...

There are a few tutorials online (For example) having to do with configuring emacs to work with XCode, but they all seem to be for old versions, and I haven't found one that ties neatly to XCode 3.x + Emacs 23.1 in a way that I can unpack. So, I'm running XCode 3.1.2 and the Mac Cocoa application build of Emacs 23.1. I have a passing f...

Hi Everyone! I have .wav files that have been stored in a central database. I need to play them in Mac C++ code. The .wav files have lots of different formats - some of them are quite old - for example 4bit. I got code using AudioHardware interfaces to work for the main formats. But, these work only if the sample rate in the .wav...

Im completely new to Bash scripting but I've been told, with little help, to create a file that compresses textures into PVR format only if the file has been modified since the last time the script was run. Heres the code I have so far: # variables TEXTURE_TOOL=/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform/Developer/usr/bin/texturetool INPUT...

Which kvm software do you recommend? I was looking for hardware kvms but I am using a 30" lcd which is only supported by 1 belkin kvm and people report ...
Since I've started on iPhone development I've been kinda confused as to which is the best way to access data as a member in a Class. Let's say I have a class called MyClass, and in it I have: @interface MyClass : NSObject { int myInt; } @property (nonatomic, assign) int myInt; In the implementation, is it better to do this: myO...
Would like to understand how to build a tool like the mac os dash board widget (web clip). Am looking at trying to build it with webkit but not sure if thats the right way to go. Some thoughts were to using webkit and some DOM to display only the viewport that a user requests. While this works so well on mac os, am trying to build it...
Okay. I want to learn how to assemble programs on my Mac (Early 2009 MBP, Intel Core 2 Duo). So far, I understand only that Assembly languages are comprised of direct one-to-one mnemonics for CPU instructions. After some Googling, I've seen a lot of terms, mostly "x86" and "x86_64". I've also seen MASM, NASM, and GAS, among others. Corr...
Hi all, I compiled Emacs 23 on OS X Leopard and I am loving it. But one thing I noticed when I switched from Aquamancs is that I am no longer able to access my environment variables that I specify in my .bash_profile file. For instance, I have a line: export WORK=/Users/myname/Documents/otherpaths/Work So to open files I can type in t...
Reference this question about compiling. I don't understand how my program for Mac can use the right -arch, compile with those -arch flags, the -arch flags be for the system I am on (a ppc64 g5), and still produce the wrong object code. Also, if I used a cross compiler and was on Linux, produced 10.5 code for mac, how would this be any...
