I wrote a Perl application which I run on the terminal using command lines. I created aliases for the various command options in the shell to reduce the typing.

I've got several annotations I want to add to my MKMapView (it could 0-n items, where n is generally around 5). I can add the annotations fine, but I want to resize the map to fit all annotations onscreen at once, and I'm not sure how to do this. I've been looking at -regionThatFits: but I'm not quite sure what to do with it. I'll post ...
This is a very newbie question, and this is something I have done many times before, but there's something I'm missing this time. In my AppDelegate.h file I declare an NSArray and set it as a property: @interface AppDelegate : NSObject { NSArray *lines; } @property(readwrite, retain) NSArray *lines; @end And then in the AppDelegate...
I'm trying to write a command line script to access Apple SDK docsets (like perldoc for perl or ri for ruby). Apple has a tool called docsetutil which will let you search a docset, but it is very limited (for example, you can't do a partial search). Is there a more powerful way to access the docs without having to manually parse the HTML...
I have a segment control that when one of the segments is clicked I want to pass variables (two integers to be specific) to the segmented control's action. How do I modify the below code to do so? I know how to go to the segment action but I don't know how to pass variables to it. I know this is probably obj-C 101 but I'm stumped. Tha...
There are a handful of iPhone apps out there doing some behind-the-scenes trickery with undocumented APIs, with effective results. 1) How would I go about getting a listing of undocumented iPhone APIs? 2) Are there third-party off-the-cuff documentation for some of these APIs? ...
I'm working with an NSImage which comes from a PDF. When I initially create the image, it has only one NSImageRep and that is NSPDFImageRep. This is good. I can work with it. I can find out how many pages it has, and go to a specified page, and draw it, etc. The problem is that as soon as I turn my back, it gets turned into a NSCachedIm...

I have two processes - a user process and a root-level LaunchDaemon. I'd like both processes to have shared settings. I've tried getting this to work via a sqlite database, but have run into corruption issues. I've thought about using NSUserDefaults, but the NSGlobalDomain seems to only be global for the user, and I need a cross-user ...
I wanted to know, the best methodology (with code sample please) of having a login feature on an iPhone application, that would connect to a server. I am assuming web service sending via SOAP isn't the safest. Thanks guys ...
For example: - (BOOL)compare:(NSDecimal)leftOperand greaterThan:(NSDecimal)rightOperand { NSComparisonResult result = NSDecimalCompare(&leftOperand, &rightOperand); // rest not important } like you can see, the method just receives these two types of NSDecimal, leftOperand and rightOperand. Then it passes them on to a C API fu...

I am implementing an optional delegate method on the Cocoa Touch API. What I would like to do is, first call the method that would have been called if I didn't implement the delegate ... then make changes to the result ... then return my modified version.

I have a tableview with a navigationBar with a segmentedControl on the top of the view. I have set up the segmentedControl with buttons that sort the table by either "FirstName" or "LastName". It works perfectly the first 2-4 of times you press the sorting buttons, but then the app crashes. The debugger and console seem to be of no hel...
