how to unlock a PDF file extracted from an iPhone app? - pdf

I've downloaded the Cosmopolitan magazine on my iPhone not so long ago and from there I purchased the Sept. 2014 issue of the magazine. However, I can't save or e-mail my purchased issue from the app, all I can do is screen-cap it but that wouldn't give me a quality good enough to read the small text on the pages. So I eventually googled it and ended up downloading iFunBox which gives you the contents of your iPhone applications. From there, I looked up the content folders of the Cosmopolitan app and ended up with a PDF file which I'm assuming is the Sept. 2014 issue, which is cool, but the problem is that it's locked :(
I'm wondering if anyone can help me with unlocking the said PDF file?
Here's the PDF file: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B3Tf7C_JNaZgeUJOa0NqYjB6Vkk/view
and here's the Cosmopolitan app contents folder: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B3Tf7C_JNaZgVE54dWZyaUpYazA/view?usp=sharing (the p/w might be somewhere in the files there but I failed to find, OTL)

You could try a password removing utility. Here are 7 I found when googling for "pdf password removal"

WEKA not identifying .ARFF files on M1 Mac

I have downloaded the latest version of WEKA on a newer Mac with the M1 chip and am having trouble opening .ARFF files. When I go to open the file, the file is not appearing as an option to open. It is perhaps a problem with permissions? But when I look at the permissions for the app, I am able to read and write. I am not getting an error message of any sort. I can only see the directories and no files.
Has anyone else had this problem and found a solution?
Many thanks!
I tried uninstalling and making sure I had downloaded the latest version of WEKA and I tried moving the .ARFF file to a new location.

An open file seems to be locked and cannot be uploaded in Microsoft Edge

Steps to Reproduce:
Open file for viewing (i.e. open .xls file in Microsoft Excel)
Attempt to upload file in Microsoft Edge browser. Observe file is not uploaded. FYI, I am using the upload file control from a web application. But I don't think this problem is specific to the web application as I can't replicate this issue using Chrome.
Close .xls file in Microsoft Excel
Attempt to re-upload file and observe it is successful
How would I resolve this, (i.e. have the ability to upload an opened file in Microsoft Edge)? Again, this problem cannot be reproduced using Chrome.
I have the same issue - apparently a Microsoft edge/office bug.
also present with word docs
Only workaround I have found so far is to advise the user to close the file...
https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-edge/platform/issues/4675660/
https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-edge/platform/issues/8732443/
Microsoft can be quoted as "hoping to fix it in one of the next releases." (comment is dated Sep 29, 2016 )
I would be keen to hear any other suggested "Workarounds"

Upload binary does not show on Itunes Connect

I'm trying to upload a new version of my app to the apple store, but itunes connect looks to be bugged.
I already uploaded the binary 3 times with success, and so far, it didn't show up on the "Build" section. I'm using Xcode 6.2 and Application Loader 3.0. So I met all requirements.
The "+" button does not show on the build section also.
Looking for solutions I found some complaints even from 2014 but no perfect solution that will work for everyone.
Have you any ideal about what can I do?
My last binary upload was about 8 hours ago and nothing happened yet.
Status is as "Prepare for Submission".
I got it. I found all my uploaded binaries in another App.
This happened because I was using a wildcard provisioning profile. This caused the file not to be shown on the right app.
I had the some problem, and waited for more than 8 hours without any result. Then I saw a new (tax-agreement) contract that I had not signed. I signed it, waited for a few more minutes, and then the plus-sign showed up!

How to debug a Windows Store app that crashes on a customer's machine?

I got a support email from a customer saying his app crashes when it starts and all he gets is a message like:
(App Name) ran into a problem You can send info to Microsoft about
what went wrong to help improve this app.
Files that will be sent to Microsoft
C:\Users\User_Name\AppData\Local\Temp\WER####.tmp.appcompat.txt
C:\Users\User_Name\AppData\Local\Temp\WER####.tmp.hdmp
I thought - Microsoft isn't going to help them really with my silly app. They should send the dump file to me for debugging, but how to do it? A sample dump file I got from a crashing app was 90MB and after zipping it is still 30MB. How do I debug the app? Is there a simple way to get these dump files from a customer? These also get deleted right after you switched from the crashing app window to the desktop unless you leave it running (crashed) in snapped view and hit WinKey+D.
It seems like the Windows developer Dashboard has an option to get mini dump files for most common crashes that could help find the problem (assuming your customer is having one of the most common problems for a crash or that there are actually few problems causing your app to crash and all of them are there). You just need to go to:
Dashboard/App/Reports/Quality/Most common crashes
There you can download a cab file that includes the mini dump from there. You might be able to extract the file by just renaming cab to zip or using a tool that extracts cab archives. Then just open the dump file in WinDbg and start debugging!

XCode 4 Archive/IPA Error: "The operation couldn’t be completed. No such file or directory"

I've found various proposed solutions to this problem on this internet, but none of them work for me. Does anyone know why this might be happening?
http://answers.unity3d.com/questions/15294/xcode-build-and-archive-error-no-such-file-or-directory
http://blog.joshschumacher.com/2011/04/06/xcode4-the-operation-couldn%E2%80%99t-be-completed-no-such-file-or-directory/
I've tried archiving with every combination of coding signing vs not using code signing, and I've tried using every combination of provisioning profiles, but I still get the same error every time.
I'm very confused as to why I'd even be getting an error like this when trying to save a file. I'm using XCode 4, my application builds for archive fine. In fact, I can even upload my application to itunesconnect (and it was accepted!). I just can't create an IPA for sharing and beta testing before submission.
Any ideas?
The error message
Right before I get the error
After much frustration, I filed a developer support request with Apple. The technician I spoke with was able to save my archive as an .ipa on her computer -- the exact same archive that I was not able to save on mine, which pointed to a possible bug in my system (and from the sounds of it, many other people's).
She recommended that I uninstall and reinstall XCode and the developer tools, and that worked!
Here were her uninstall instructions:
Make sure that your machine is running the latest Mac OS X (10.6.7) and iTunes.
Run the following command in the Terminal application to uninstall your SKD:
sudo <Xcode>/Library/uninstall-devtools --mode=all (where <Xcode> is the path to the directory that contains your SDK.)
Drag your <Xcode> to the trash and restart your machine
Re-download and install Xcode (4.0.2) from the iOS Dev Center. Make sure that the System Tools, UNIX Development, Essentials packages in the Custom Install pane are selected before installing it.
I have the same issue after my distribution certificate was expired. I add new ones (private key and certificate) and xCode "Share" command starts to produce such error.
The problem resolves as soon as I remove old private key & certificate from Keychain Access.
Hope it helps
Selecting "Don't Re-sign" at Identity solved the same issue for me.
I actually had the same problem, but a different solution (and reason). I had Xcode 3 and Xcode 4 both running at one point. I recently deleted Xcode 3 and moved my Xcode 4 from /Xcode4 to /Developer directory. This caused me to have the same issue you describe.
I moved the directory back to /Xcode4 and now my archives save out correctly.
I also had the same problem but I could resolve the problem in the below way.
My project was on the portable disk (formatted as FAT-32) and the project referred some folders on the same disk as "add folder reference for any added folder". I could build it any configurations however I couldn't just make .ipa file with above alert.
So, I copied the referenced folders on the portable disk to the desktop of the disk installed XCode (MacOS). And adding again the folders into the project. I could make .ipa file.
I installed Xcode 4.0.2 in one directory and then manually moved it to another.
When I moved Xcode back to the first directory everything worked.
