The problem sounds like it's the "Ask to join new networks" setting.

comment How to download the Command Line Tools for Xcode without the Downloads for Developers webpage?
If you are an admin, you can create another account and test with that. That would avoid any corrupt preferences or cache files.

comment Is there a case or cover that allows the iPad to stand up in portrait orientation?
I have the Compass stand and the back leg has always been too loose and the iPad falls over fairly easily in Portrait mode if you tap on the top quarter of the screen.

@Mark I agree. There will probably be other issues which is why I recommended starting over if there is any weird behavior in Xcode.

comment Do I need to keep apps on my Mac with iCloud
What happens if I am backing up to my MacBook and I need to perform a restore? Will all of the current apps be restored with their data? I understand that any apps that have been pulled will not be restored.

comment External drive mounts but doesn't appear in Finder anymore
The shareware app PathFinder <cocoatech.com/pathfinder/>; allows you to see invisible files and volumes. It also allows you to set the attributes via a info window. There is a 30 day demo that allows you to use all of it's features.

comment How did this ominous file end up in my Application Support folder?
If you're a developer then you can use dtrace to find out who is accessing that file. If you don't know dtrace it is an awesome tool for finding out what is going on at the system level.

comment Looking for old C compiler
Think C was the definitive C compiler, until CodeWarrior came out in the early 90's. The original Mac OS and applications were written in a combination of Pascal and 68K assembly.

comment MacBook Pro screen has died. Wanting to use secondary display?
Nope. It requires a modern Apple keyboard. I have an old Apple keyboard that didn't work. I tried that first because bluetooth is a pain.

comment MacBook Pro screen has died. Wanting to use secondary display?
I was trying to add some information. I spent 1/2 hour trying to get my iMac into Thunderbolt display mode and finally tried the Apple keyboard that came with it. I can't stand Apple'

comment MacBook Pro screen has died. Wanting to use secondary display?
These keyboard shortcuts only work on fairly modern Apple keyboards. These do not work on my 3rd party keyboards. Another example of this is putting an iMac into Thunderbolt display mode with Cmd-F2.

comment How to correctly handle two different versions running commands from Terminal?
You can also use the 'source' command, but that won't always work because the paths get added dumbly and you get duplication.
