Create new plug-in on Mac - FYI

I just went through this process and thought I would jot down the steps, since they are a little bit more complicated than the notes in the SDK documentaion.
To make a new plug-in named Whizbang from the template named Skeletion...
0. Copy the Skelton Example to a new folder named Whizbang
Rename the Skeleton.xcodeproj to Whizbang.xcodeproj
Change all source file permissions to read-write
Open the Whizbang.xcodeproj package and change the .pbxproj permissions to read-write
Edit the project settings and change project Base SDK to Mac OS X 10.6
Also change Build Products Path to "/Applications/Adobe After Effects CS4/Plug-ins/Effects"
Rename each file from Skeleton*.* to Whizbang*.*
Find and replace all occurances of SKELETON with WHIZBANG
Find and replace all occurances of Skeleton with Whizbang
Open the file whizbang.plugin-info.plist and change "Skeleton" to "Whizbang"
Also change the copyright notice

Creating new tags slow in Mac OS Yosemite

Hi
I have been finding creating new tags in Mac OS X Yosemite to be really slow. Whilst it was slow in Mavericks, it really is taking a lot of time now. Using previously created tags is not a problem.
Has anybody else found this, and a solution for it?
With Thanks

My searching on this issue, which I had too, lead me to a solution. The problem is described and the solution outlined in the following posting:
http://apple.stackexchange.com/questions/146322/creating-and-modifying-tags-hang s-finder-in-os-x-10-9-mavericks
I think the issue isn't just in Yosemite, but seems to have got worse with that upgrade, but this fix worked for me, and it might for you too.

How to create new Plug-in

Hi Experts,
I'm Indesign Js developer. Now I wish to work with ID SDK. I go through guides in indesign sdk Kit. But there, there are things mentioned and if I tried to execute the sample provided by them and tried to build, It shows some errors that "WriteFishPrice.dll" file missing. I search a lot in google about how to create my owm plug-in & development. But I can't found a clear solution. There is no enough Guide as clear. While I start learning Indesign JS before a long time, It's very clear guide's and easy to learn. But SDK is not clear. Is Getting Adobe License must for creating Plug-in? no other way? Can any one Guide me.....!
I'm using CS5 & Windows OS.
Thanks and Regards,
Vel.

Can't create new account after running Mac OS X Setup Assistant

Please help me...!
Yesterday, my friend gave me his old MacBook (Mac OS X Tiger)...
He said that he forgot his password and didn't know how to reset it...
Soon, I do the Setup Assistant with this :
1. holding down Command + S.
2. fsck -yf
mount -uw /
3. Remove current Netinfo Database:
cd /private/var/db/netinfo
mv local.nidb local.old
4. Force Apple Setup to launch on next startup:
rm ../.AppleSetupDone
5. Don't forget to delete the home folders from every user on the system in /Users!
6. Shut down the mac:
shutdown -h now
But after running the Setup Assistant and after filling all of the important information, The "Welcome" video come again and the mac just run the Setup Assistant again....
I'm so confused with this... so please help me....I need it so Bad...hhe...
(Ehm...sorry for my BAD English..hhehe..)

Hi MemphisBELLE, and a warm welcome to the forums!
You've done about everything you can without The Install Disk, if your friend doesn't have that then call Apple with the Serial# handy, or seek an Apple Store/Provider.

Help. Created new account with same .mac acct. Now all old questions gone.

Can someone at apple help me get my questions back into my account - I had to recreate it and now all my old posts are gone. Can they merge it back in? I recreated the account during the outage with my same .mac email.

yes, the same password.
I don't think that's possible... But who am I to say.
Try this: Go to this page but don't fill out the form. Instead, click on the "Forget your Apple ID?" link and fill out the form on the next page with the relevant information. It should be able to give you any Apple IDs you have set up in the past.
Hopefully you'll find that, under the .Mac address you're using, you actually had a separate +Apple ID+ that you can use to log into your previous Discussions account. (Note that your Apple ID is not the same thing as your forum alias and is not necessarily your email address.)

How To Add Additional Fields When Creating New Contact From w/in Mac Mail?

Hi there. When in Mac Mail and clicking on contact information provided within an email, we are able to either (1) CREATE NEW CONTACT or (2) ADD TO EXISTING CONTACT (by clicking on the arrow next to a phone number, address, etc.). If I choose "Create New Contact," how can I add additional fields BEFORE clicking on "Add to Address Book" button in lower right corner? Let's say, for example, I know this new contacts URL or company. (Currently, I am creating the new contact from within Mac Mail and then going to Address Book and finding the contact, then editing, the adding the additional fields, then saving, and then going back to Mac Mail. This all takes time.)
Note: When creating a new iCal event from within Mac Mail, we can click on Option/Alt key when selecting drop-down arrow...and this will allow us to add additional information. The same feature isn't available for address book???

I have the exact same question and problem. If there was a way to automatically open the AB entry after "creating new contact" this would solve it.
Thanks for any suggestion

I have created a new partition on the Mac HD for Lion as I would like to dual boot. Do I need to install Snow Leopard on that partition before installing Lion? If so, can I use one of my Time Machine backups to do this?

No, you can't partition a Time Capsule's internal HD. Both partitions will back up to the same sparse bundle. keeping the backups for each partition separate.
Time Machine will not take the two OSX partitions as two different computers, but for best results, exclude the Snow Leopard drive from backups on the Lion partition, and exclude the Lion partition from backups on the Snow Leopard partition.
There may be some files on the Lion partition that Time Machine on Snow Leopard won't like, among other things. See #10 in Time Machine - Frequently Asked Questions for details.

When I try to create a new Message on my Mac, Messages does not bring up my Contacts

I have followed the instructions to setup Messages, I can send messages to the email addresses that I have memorized, but when I try to create a new Message on my Mac, Messages does not bring up my Contacts when I type in the search field for a person that has an iPad or iPhone.
This sems out of sorts for an Apple product. Their stuff normally just works.
For some reason, My Mac Mini with Mountain Lion doesn't recognize my contact names, or it isn't synched with my contacts...
Anybody else want to weigh in, please?
Thank you!

Hi,
I would point out that I did say...
Of course the Contacts List has to have people listed in it.
The Error seems to be that you have not even got an My Card.
The OS when the computer is brand new and you set up the first Admin Account should create at least once Card entry for the Address Book/Contacts which has the Head and Shoulders icon (the My Card)
The does presume the the first account on the Mac doers have a person's First name and Last name to work with.
Of course not everyone sets things up this way.
Anyhow
To Check the Contacts List open the app.
Go to the Preferences.
Go to the Accounts section.
This should list at least two "accounts
One is for Syncing with iCloud and the other is for storing the Info on the Mac itself
In System Preferences > iCloud you can only set up one Apple ID to be the iCloud ID.
If you do or have changed this you may have extra accounts in the Contacts > Preferences > Accounts

I have always been able to create playlists on itunes, then drag them to my ipod when it was plugged into the mac. I recently downloaded the latest version of itunes, and now I am unable to do that. I am able to drag songs and albums but not my playlists.

I have always been able to create playlists on itunes, then drag them to my ipod when it is plugged into the mac. I recently downloaded the latest version of itunes, and now am unable to do that. I can drag songs and albums to the ipod, but not my playlists. It used to be so easy, am I missing something here?

Plug your iPod into your computer, it will begin to sync. Now check to see if the playlists have been added.
If not, go to the songs tab under your iPod when it is connected to iTunes, Unless you have checked "Sync all songs (or something to those words)" you should have an option on what you can put on your iPod. Make sure to check the playlists that you want on your iPod.

If the reset doesn't work:
FORCE IPAD INTO RECOVERY MODE
1. Turn off iPad
2. Turn on computer and launch iTune (make sure you have the latest version of iTune)
3. Plug USB cable into computer's USB port
4. Hold Home button down and plug the other end of cable into docking port. Do not release button until you see picture of iTune and plug (very important)
5. Release Home button.
ON COMPUTER
6. iTune has detected iPad in recovery mode. You must restore this iPad before it can be used with iTune.
7. Select "Restore iPad"...
Note: Data will be lost

Normally, you just connect the monitor to the MacBook using a VGA adaptor that you can buy from an Apple Store. Now try System Preferences > Displays > Detect Displays. You should now be able to select a display mode for the monitor. If it still doesn't work, then I'd check that everything is properly connected. I've had problems with colours disappearing due to a faulty connection in the VGA adaptor.

Hi
I actually dont think its Lion (sorry i put that as couldn't remember) as not on that computer at the moment, its at home, I am at work. I know CS2 is compatable with whatever OS I am using because I can using CS2 indesign etc and I was able to use CS2 photoshop until I updated the Camino browser (I believe this is when it stopped working). I have CS5 but it wont work at all on my Powerbook G4.
I can send a message later with the OS I am using and maybe you can suggest other help? They told me in the MAC shop to try and get the installation discs. They also said I would be able to get these via Apple's 'media replacement programme' which I cannot find anyway! To be honest, I am not even sure getting the install discs will work but I'll try whatever I need to try and get Photoshop working on it again!
Thanks

HT201270 Hello, I followed the instructions on my iPhone4s by going to Sett Gen About and nothing was new even thou I was advised to update as soon as I plugged into my Mac for a backup. Does this just mean that it tells all iPhone users to check just in

Hello All,
I followed the instructions when I plugged in my iPhone 4s to do a backup on my Mac. I was then prompted to update carrier settings by going to Settings>General>About. I did as instructed and nothing was new, even though I was advised to update as soon as I plugged into my Mac for a backup. Does this just mean that it tells all iPhone users to check for any available updates just in case ?

Updating carrier settings isn't the same as updating iOS. You don't get any new or different features. It just affects, ostensibly for the better, how your phone connects with your carrier's network.
