There is a thread here:
How to Install and run a XulRunner Application on Mac OS X?
...in which a user mentions having trouble uninstalling XULRunner 7 so he could then install XULRunner 6. Unfortunately he just says he figured it out, but doesn't say how. It appears that I cannot private-message or email that user (CIRK).
So, does anyone know how one removes it, or at least get OS X to allow the install of XULRunner 6?
As a side-note, removing the /Library/Frameworks/XUL.framework directory does not work.
Thanks in advance.
Answering my own question a day later...
It appears that the XULRunner 7 installer not only adds files to the /Library/Frameworks folder, but also adds to /private
Specifically, I had to manually delete...
/private/var/db/receipts/org.mozilla.xulrunner.bom
/private/var/db/receipts/org.mozilla.xulrunner.plist
...along with removing the /Library/Frameworks/XUL.framework folder.
Hopefully that will be helpful to someone else.
edit: This is specifically relevant to OSX 10.6.7, reported to work on 10.7.2 as well
On Mac OS X 10.5.8 there is nothing under /private/... but there is a folder /Library/Receipts/xulrunner-*.mac.pkg which have to be removed too

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.
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 running IntelliJ IDEA 11.0 on Mac OS X. I know it has an update 11.0.1.
But when I used Check for update, it said I am already running the latest version.
Please tell me how can I upgrade to version 11.0.1?
Thank you.
Probably you have a connection problem or your proxy/firewall blocks IDEA access to the site where it checks for updates.
I've tried it on my Mac and Windows machines and it works fine:
In any case, you can just download and install the complete version from .dmg file. Your license, settings and plugins will be preserved and the old version can be moved to Trash.
Open intellij-idea -> go to top menu bar -> Help -> Check for Updates
I just wrote an application for submission to the app store - and I'm reading on forums that using a font that is not included on a users machine will cause the whole app to crash. I used a font called Handwriting - Dakota, and I never installed it so I'm not 100% sure if it comes with Mac by default. Does anyone else running Mac 10.6 have this font?? Any feedback would be greatly appreciated!
Best,
Zach
I've a clean (no non-developer apps) Mac OS X 10.6 (Snow Leopard) install and this font isn't present. Additionally, it's not listed on the Wikipedia "List of typefaces included with Mac OS X" article either.
At a guess, it's most likely installed by iLife, iWork or similar.
am using Os X 10.6.4 and X code Version 3.2.3 for developing some simple app files and using PackageMaker to distribute these app files. But when trying to run the package on some other mac I am getting error that the package is not compatible with the Os X its running and file would not be installed. Is this a problem with X code or package maker. sorry for reposting it but although I tried changing base SDK to 10.5, it was getting compiled and ran well on mac I am using for development (Mac OS X 10.6.4) but when installed on mac running OS X 10.5 the .app files were grayed out and message poped up saying 'you cannot use this version of application with this version of Mac'. Any idea why is this happening? Also as mentioned earlier I am using IBOutlet for accepting user date from form and then writing that into a text file. Any idea or solution about it?
Do you have anything set in your Info.plist for the LSMinimumSystemVersion key? This is one place the system looks.
When I was brand new I had trouble figuring this out...
Make sure that your Base SDK and deployment target are 10.5 and that you have the right compiler on(GCG4.0/4.2), also make sure that when you change these settings you change it for both Release and Debug, I once made this mistake of changing it only on debug, and when I built for release it only worked on 10.6 because I didn't change those settings.
