OS X Mavericks :: Control External LEDs?
Aug 29, 2014The Raspberry Pi is a microcomputer. So is my mini. The Pi has video & audio out. So does my mini. The Pi has I/O. So does my mini. The Pi has an OS. So does my mini.Â
Can I hook my mini up to an external breadboard & control LEDs? Can I use Objective-C or some other programming language or the Terminal to control the LEDs?

OS X :: External Audio Device With Internal Volume Control?
Sep 16, 2007I have a slight problem with my volume controls on a Macbook Pro. They're not doing exactly what I want them to. I have an external sound card and by selecting it as my default audio device the macbook pros own volume control gets locked and there's no way to adjust it. This means that it renders the keyboard and Remote control volume buttons useless and I still have to run across the room to adjust the volume on my audio device when I'm watching a movie through the tv away from the macbook. Is there no way to enable this function anyway so both controls work?

OS X V10.7 Lion :: Mds Process Is Out Of Control
May 12, 2012mds is using 4.7GB of real & 6.7GB of virtual memory and using ~ 15% of CPU. The Spotlight icon does not indicate that it's indexing. I have added multiple folders and drives to the Privacy tab in Spotlight prefs. I disabled Alfred & Hazel and that didn't change anything.

OS X V10.7 Lion :: How To Control The Trackpad

OS X V10.7 Lion :: Can't See All Windows In Mission Control
Mar 4, 2012My favorite feature on the mac has always been the ability to see all open windows with a simple click (F3 on my keyboard). I often have multiple word documents and multiple pdf files open, as well as two or three different browser windows, several image files, and who knows what else. It is very common for me to have 10-20 open windows and it was always a huge help to be able to see them all at once, with filenames that would pop up when hovering with the mouse. This feature made it incredibly easy to move from file to file and truly see everything on the desktop at once.Â
As far as I can tell, this is no longer possible with Lion and Mission Control. Now if I have multiple windows open in a single application and enter Mission Control I see them tiled over one another, without filenames displayed for any. Sure, I can see all the applications I have open, but what good is that if I can't see which files I have? It's making it very difficult to work effectively-- basically I have to minimize each window one by one until I find the one I want.Â
Can anyone using Lion tell me how to see a graphic representation of ALL open windows, with filenames? Like I could in the good old days? Or is there something like a "see all open files" ability in Finder?Â

OS X V10.7 Lion :: Volume Control Not Working
Apr 10, 2012Using Lion, latest and fully updated. At some point in the past week or so the volume control stopped having an effect. Using either the keyboard function keys or the item in the task bar, the graphics look good and the blocks/slider move around just fine, but there is no effect whatsoever on sound output. I can control the volume in whatever app I'm using, whether it's a Web app or local app with its own volume control. But the system volume controls no longer have an effect. This is true whether or not I'm using the display output or headphones.

May 8, 2012Having lost track of how I manage access to stored passwords, I'd like to reset every password stored in my Login Keychain, so that it will always 'Confirm before allowing access" and "Ask for Keychain Password."Â
Is there anyway to do this in a batch, or must I view/edit each item, one by one.Â

Mar 18, 2012I am having fun with my iMac (late 2011 + 10.7.3) aspecially with software bugs.One of them is following:Volume controll keys on my wireless keyboard do not controll sound. Doesn,t matter which one I press I do see the icons on the display but there is no effect on volume level. The sound "speaker icon" on the system bar is inactive and when I press it I see that slider is frozen at the very bottom and can't be moved.Switch your iMac off.Remove batteries from the wireless keyboard.Switch your Mac on.Sound is back, and after placing batteries back in your keyboard you can see also that sound keys are working again. Unfortunatelly you have to make this operation each time when you switching your iMac off.

OS X V10.7 Lion :: Expose Versus Mission Control?
Apr 28, 2012There's one thing I'm really missing from Snow Leopard in recent months which has been replaced by what I regard as Lion's inferior 'Mission Control'. How many times would you sit down, open up 20 or so Photoshop files and toggle between the F9 and F10 keys to present all 20 pictures instantly on the desktop using Expose. Mission Control doesn't perform nearly as well doing the same task.Â

OS X V10.7 Lion :: Mission Control : Why Can't Switch To Desktops 2, 3 And 4
Jun 25, 2012So I was following some tutorials online about assigning desktops to shortcut keys, and I created 10 total desktops just so I can assign/play around with the keys. However, I cannot for the life of me figure out why I can't assign a shortcut to desktops 2, 3 and 4. I tried different key combinations and it does not work. I know that control + 5 works for desktop 5, so assigned that key command (temporarily, and I made sure that desktop 5 shortcut was different by changing it to shift+command+5) to desktops 2 3 & 4 and it still doesn't switch. Something is preventing these desktops from linking to a shortcut. Not even control+left arrow/right arrow works.Â
I also tried removing and re-adding the desktops with no success.Â

OS X V10.7 Lion :: Screen Toggles Between Mission Control And Desktop?
Mar 24, 2012I recently upgraded my iMac from Leopard to Lion.Â
At times, and this has been happening quite frequently, my screen automatically jumps to Mission Control mode. Sometimes, it comes back to Desktop mode by itself but at other times I have to click on the window to get back to Desktop mode. Its almost like the OS is playing games with me.Â
Just to clarify, I am not invoking the Mission Control program by either using the keyboard, mouse or from the Dock. The OS automatically switches to Mission Control mode.Â

OS X V10.7 Lion :: Mission Control 10.7.3 Assigning Apps To Desktops?
Apr 8, 2012How do I get an app to stick in a desktop. I have the mission control desktop and then desktops 1 through 7. I have them all opening up various applicaitons, but even though I move the app to the desktop I want, and I shut down with the app open in that desktop, on restart it opens up in the wrong desktop...always the same one, but always the wrong one. iTunes - I put it in Desktop 7, its there when I shut down. It always opens up in Desktop 1. I don't have trouble with calendar, mail, addressbook. Also, sometimes 'finder' folders that I have left open in a specific window when I shut down do not open up on restart. They do sometimes, but most of the time not.Â

OS X V10.7 Lion :: Using Mission Control And Launchpad - Could Not Add Space And No Dashboard?
Apr 10, 2012I meet a problem in using Mission Control and Launchpad. My system is Mac OS X 10.7.3, and my laptop is MacBook Pro mid in 2010 15". When I open it, use Misson Control it will display like this: Could not add space and no dashboard on the top of the screen. I really don't know the reason why. But if I sign off my account, the mission control will be normal again. And when Mission Control has this problem. The launchpad isn't also normal. Launchpad's background will be transparent. But this problem will come again after some times of restart. It randomly appears.Â

OS X V10.7 Lion :: Mission Control Automatic Desktop Switching?
Apr 29, 2012I'm currently studying for the GRE, and here's my current setup.Â
Desktop #1: general computing
Desktop #2: vocabulary
Desktop #3: verbal
Desktop #4: math Â
AnnoyancesÂ
1) I'll have a Chrome window open on #2 at a website to help me study vocabulary. However, when I'm at #1 and I click the Chrome icon in the dock to open a new browser to check email, it automatically takes me to desktop #2. While I can just check my email at #2, I want to keep that desktop exclusively for studying vocabulary. Is there any way to make MC treat each desktop as a separate desktop and NOT jump between desktops?Â
2) This seems to be a MS Office specific annoyance. I'll have a excel document open on #1 and #2. When I close the excel document on #1, MC automatically takes me to the document in #2, when I just wanted to close the #1 document and stay in #1. Â
3) A different scenario of the previous annoyance. There's an excel document open in #2 and I'm currently in #1. When I open an excel document MC...
- takes me to the ALREADY opened document in #2
- opens the document I wanted, but places it in #1
so that I'm in the wrong space AND not even looking at the document I just opened.

IMac :: 2.8 Imac's External Portion Feels Extremely Hot - Use SMC Fan Control?
Jan 10, 2008I'm new here and was hoping for some feedback. I got a new 2.8 Imac and had it replaced after the Power Supply Position was idling at 82 degrees Celsius, and the top of the case felt very hot to the touch. The fans never "kicked in" even though it was that hot. Anyways, I got a replacement machine and the Power Supply Position now idles at about 68-70 degrees Celsius (much cooler), but the external portion of the machine still feels extremely hot. So my question is, how hot is too hot?? Is my machine normal and am I worried about nothing?? Should I be using SMC Fan Control?? Is the heat because of the 2.8 processor??
