Every time I open GitHub for Mac it asks me to "add a new helper tool" and prompts me for my password. Every time I enter my password (I am an admin on this computer) but I see no noticeable changes afterwards and the prompt comes back every time I reopen GitHub. (See attached photo for the prompt window.)
I am running OSX Yosemite Version 10.10 on a Late 2012 Mac Mini (2.5 GHz Intel Core i5).
Unsure if this is related but I am running GitHub version "Reactive Barbecue (186)". According to the GitHub for Mac release notes this is NOT the newest version, but when I select "Check for updates" it says I have the latest version. Would a fresh install of GitHub solve this? This is more of a nuisance and doesn't noticeably impede my work.
I use GitHub daily for XCode pushes with my coworkers. They all use MacBook Airs and OSX Yosemite but do not have the same issue as me.
I was also having this problem.
Cause? Maybe GitHub.app was confused by multiple git installations: XCode's Command Line Tools and Homebrew's copy (a newer version and includes bash completion).
Running the shell command git credential-osxkeychain returned a "usage" line, so a helper was installed despite that message.
Fix: Downloading and running GitHub Desktop successfully installed its helper. I think GitHub Desktop.app is the new name for GitHub.app, so apparently they fixed the bug by now.
BTW: They wrote "If you're using GitHub for Mac or Windows, the upgrade is automatic.", but their automatic upgrade didn't fix this problem nor switch to "GitHub Desktop.app".
The only solution I found so far was to delete the GitHub for Mac application. Then I re-downloaded the app (the most recent version 193 "Big Feels").
It then gave me a popup saying I needed to uninstall the old version since OSX now comes with Git commands by default (or something like that?). Clicking "Uninstall now" made the app crash so I had to select "Uninstall later". This is sort of only a fix for the symptom since GitHub could keep telling me to uninstall every time I open it, but at least it says I have the most recent version now.
Use AppCleaner and nuke it. Reinstall.

I have installed the latest versions of power automate desktop and browser extension, and I'm using the Microsoft Edge browser, before the latest update come, it worked perfectly, but after the update it not working.
every time I run the flow it shows this error:
"Failed to assume control of Microsoft Edge (Communication with browser failed. Try reloading extension)."
With the new version you also have to make sure developer tools are enabled in your browser.
See the information here about manifest v3
When I updated to the latest version of PAD I also had major issues lucky I was able to roll back to the previous version.
I'm aware this might not solve your issue, but the only way I could get mine working again was to uninstall 2.27 and reinstall 2.26, lucky I had the install for 2.26 as I couldn't find a previous version download link on the MS website anywhere.
Just installed (copied over the app from the downloaded dmg) DevCenter 1.6 on my mac, running macOs Sierra 10.12.6 with jdk 8u152 installed. The application loads a UI (splash screen then a couple of checkboxes in a window for getting started) but the UI is frozen (with the splash screen still there). No response to mouse clicks or keyboard. Also can't click on the app name in the menu bar. The app however is not labeled "Not responding" by activity monitor.
So far I've tried -
Looking at the logs both in the app folder and in ~/.devcenter. Nothing fishy there
Running the app from a different user account - same issue there
Deleting all datastax and devcenter related files (searched by name) on my machine and fresh start - still the same issue
any ideas what I could do here?
I was running DevCenter on a previous mac with the same config / os version but a slightly older JDK, never had issues then.
On OSX, you can specify which version of Java DevCenter uses so that you do not need to downgrade your global Java version.
Right-click on Devcenter.app
Click "show package contents"
Open Contents/info.plist
At the bottom of the file, there's an Eclipse key with lines commented out explaining how to specify the version of Java. Uncomment the line and specify the version of Java that you want DevCenter to use.
Save & Re-launch DevCenter
The updated info.plist file should look something like this:
<key>Eclipse</key>
<array>
<string>-vm</string><string>/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/1.6.0.jdk/Contents/Home/bin/java</string>
</array>
I reached out to someone at Datastax and learnt that complaints have surfaced about this behavior when using DevCenter with jdk 8u152.
For now, I've downgraded to jdk 8u151 and that fixes the issue.
Without downgrade the Java version
Scenario
I couldn't create any connection and press buttons and everything was frozen; Changing the swt plugin in the DevCenter plugin folder worked. This was my configuration:
DevCenter version DevCenter-1.6.0-macosx-x86_64
Mac OSX version 10.14.6
JDK Version jdk1.8.0_231.jdk
Steps to fix it
From here download the version 3.108.0. (This version works for me)
Rename the file downloaded as swt.jar (short name)
[Optionally] create a backup of the current swt plugin jar of the DevCenter
cp DevCenter/DevCenter.app/plugins/org.eclipse.swt.cocoa.macosx.x86_64_3.103.2.v20150203-1351.jar ~/Desktop
Replace the plugin with the swt.jar downloaded
mv swt.jar DevCenter/DevCenter.app/plugins/org.eclipse.swt.cocoa.macosx.x86_64_3.103.2.v20150203-1351.jar
Startup DevCenter
Finally it worked
Just installed Yosemite and when I run brew doctor I get:
Warning: Your Xcode (6.0.1) is outdated
Please update to Xcode 6.1.
Xcode can be updated from the App Store.
But in the AppStore it looks like XCode 6.0.1 is the latest version. What's the best way to correct this?
Tis that slight lag between 10.10 being Avail and xcode getting updated. If you read the top of brew doctor output it says
Please note that these warnings are just used to help the Homebrew maintainers
with debugging if you file an issue. If everything you use Homebrew for is
working fine: please don't worry and just ignore them. Thanks!
So if everything is working, then you should do what it suggests and ignore it. The command line tools / compilers where updated for 10.10 (software update should have picked them up for you). Are you running into any issues with compiling? or just that warning.
pulling up from the comments. Your ruby and postgresql issues are from the upgrade, but it isn't really brews fault, or that compiler error warning.
with rvm just reinstall your ruby. My main dev is done with ruby-2.1.3 so
rvm reinstall ruby-2.1.3
rebuilt ruby and all my gems. The problem is that the ssl libs (maybe others) that ruby was linked to were removed / replaced in the upgrade to 10.10. The reinstall will rebuild and relink to the newer correct libs.
postgresql is slightly different. Apparently during the upgrade a couple of empty directories in /usr/local/var/postgres get removed. No idea why.
see this SO answer for how to fix that.
`pg_tblspc` missing after installation of latest version of OS X (Yosemite or El Capitan)
also if you are use pow (http://pow.cx) you will need to upgrade it to the latest version as 10.10 removed ipfw completely and only leaves pf as the firewall. so you will need to the new version which uses pf anchors.
The above steps where all I needed to do it in order to get my dev back to working.
Looks like developer.apple.com does show an XCode 6.1 as "Available Shortly" as of Fri, Oct 17, at 10pm central time. Not yet available from the AppStore. I guess I'm just too eager for an update.
I am using the applayout and OneUI 3.0.2 theme. I have pulldown menus in the banner (application and utility links) but the menu won't show up. Instead I get this JS error:
Uncaught lang.hitch: scope["_onKeyPress"] is null (scope="[Widget extlib.dijit.OneUIv302Menu, extlib_dijit_OneUIv302Menu_2]")
I have a Windows 9.0.1FP1 where these do work. On a 9.0.1FP1 Linux / 9.0.1FP2 Windows it doesn't work. The Linux machine had FP2 installed before I just downgraded it to FP1 (it was a test to see if this is the cause). But I noticed before that even after downgrading some files are still available - so a next test should be installing the machine completely from the scratch.
Double checked it this morning: another 9.0.1FP1 Win machine - everything working fine.
I also checked out that this only a OneUIv3.0.2 problem.
Do you know this issue?
A fix for this issue has been included in the latest XPages Extension Library (901v00_10.20141105-0922) on OpenNTF.
However, another issue was found in the dropdown mneu once it does appear successfully. Unfortunately a fix was not found for this secondary issue in time for the above ExtLib release. It has been logged as SPR# BGLN9PXG53.
Possible?
I think to do this I need to upgrade the AIR runtime on the Fire to 3, but the version in the app store won't install. I can't create an AIR apk that is both captive runtime and debug that I know of, so the debug version of the app has to run on the AIR runtime installed. Since the Fire comes with 2.7, 3.x apps won't run in debug mode.
Has anyone managed to get AIR 3 running on a Fire without using captive runtime?
To update AIR on your KF you have to get root privileges. Also keep in mind that android build on KF doesn't have any copy command (it cut off). So the best way I found is to flash your KF with modified (pre-rooted) stock version and then install new air.
Get pre-rooted stock version (I took it here). IMPORTANT: it installs via TWRP, google how to install TWRP on KF.
Put downloaded .zip and air_runtime.apk (latest AIR version) in the root of KF.
Reboot in Recovery mode (TWRP should load)
Flash this version.
On your PC open cmd and run "adb shell" (make sure you see your device in list when run "adb devices" otherwise check drivers).
Run "su" (if you downloaded secure version).
In shell go to sdcard ("ls" to get list of files/folders and "cd folder_name" to get into) and run "install air_runtime.apk /system/app/air_runtime.apk" (I think you can just run "install /sdcard/folder_with_air/air_runtime.apk /system/app/air_runtime.apk").
(7a. If it tells you that can't install because of file already exist, run the following two commands: "mount -o remount rw /system" (mount 'system' with read/write rights) and "mv /system/app/air_runtime.apk /system/app/air_runtime.bak" (rename air_runtime.apk into air_runtime.bak). Then repeat step 7.)
In KF just run (install) air_runtime.apk (use any file explorer, e.g. download ES File Explorer from Amazon).
Check AIR version in Applications.
That's all. Looks a bit complex, but in real it takes about 4-5 mins for me to update AIR (BUT I have TWRP already installed).
Hope it helps.
UPD. After your Kindle updates itself (version 6.3.1 currently the latest) you'll lose you SU privileges. AIR also will be rolled back to 2.7. You can prevent KF auto-updates (search on xda how to do it) or flash actual pre-rooted version (it gives you several months without problems).
