Filed under: Humor, Odds and ends, Apple, iPhone
Just like Macenstein, I can't actually tell you whether this photo is real, photoshopped, or just staged (my guess is staged), but it is funny. This iPhone, seemingly on display at the Apple Store, has one too many icons, and so apparently what the AT&T salesman told a customer in front of me at the AT&T Store when I went to buy my iPhone is untrue: you can, in fact, put your own applications on the iPhone. Who knew?!
That said, we at TUAW can't recommend you do something like this yourself-- those geniuses at the Apple Store don't get paid enough to put up with your mischievous behavior, so give 'em a break. Plus, it's only funny once. But this one time, it is pretty funny.Read | Permalink | Email this | CommentsКомментарии к сообщению:

Filed under: Freeware, Leopard
Many folks have noticed over the last few days that TUAW favorite Quicksilver had disappeared from the net. Fortunately, Blacktree's servers are now back up and beta 53 (build 3814) of Quicksilver is available for download (download link). The new version is primarily a bugfix release, but is recommended for everyone running Leopard. Alcor, the developer, says that there was a nasty bug in the plugin downloading code of b51 which brought the server down. So anybody who had been freaking out over Quicksilver's mysterious disappearance should set their minds at ease.

Filed under: Software, Internet, Internet Tools, Software Update, Developer
If you're a fan of Panic's very excellent file-transfer client Transmit, you're probably been anticipating a new version after Panic's update roadmap we linked to last week. Thankfully, the waiting is over, as Panic have released a minor update to bring Transmit to version 3.6.2.
The update "adds full support for Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard), fixing all known Leopard issues and polishing the interface. It also includes fixes for other users, 10.3.9 or higher." and is a free update for Transmit 3 customers.

Filed under: iPod Family, iPhone
Why settle for out-of-date toolchains when you can build the latest and greatest from scratch. Nicholas "Drudge" Penree put together this handy how-to that walks you through the process.
Be aware that you'll need to be running the gold master version of Leopard with the latest XCode release. These instructions do not work on the prerelease developer builds.
For more information and for peer support, head on over to irc.osx86.hu to the #iphone-dev and #iphone-uikit channels.

Filed under: iPod Family, iTunes, iPhone
Mike Ter Louw has brilliantly managed to port mt-daapd, the Firefly Media Server, to iPhone. Firefly makes use of your iPhone's built in mDNS/Bonjour media service to stream audio to iTunes. Any iTunes. The one running on your home computer. The one running on a friend's computer. Wherever. Stream from your iPhone to a quality audio system. Here's how it works.
Navigate to http://home.mike.tl/iphone/ with Mobile Safari. This adds Mike's repository to Installer.app. Then launch Installer, select Firefly and install it. Wait as the package builds your music database. This can take 5-10 minutes based on the size of your iTunes library.
On your computer--or any computer you're visiting with--set iTunes to share music. Make sure your firewall settings allow communication and enable "Look for shared library" in your iTunes Sharing preferences.
In iTunes, locate your shared library--it will be listed by the name of your iPhone. Select it and log in. Even if you're using 1.1.1, the media password still appears to be "dottie".
Then just select a song and play! This, ahem, rocks. A lot.
Update: TUAW Reader Jonathan adds: "Safari redirects to /beta/. I bypassed that by going into installer.app's sources page and manually adding http://home.mike.tl/iphone. Installer picked it up right away, and it's building my music database now. "

Filed under: Multimedia, Software, Software Update, Leopard
TUAW readers are no-doubt aware of EyeTV, the app from Elgato Systems that enables you to record TV via your Mac (with a compatible tuner). Last month's EyeTV 2.5 upgrade was a neat boost that allowed folks to use their recorded content on the newest handheld devices, but today's 2.5.1 update now make EyeTV fully compatible with Leopard.
So what's added? In short: Leopard features galore. Spaces support (so that TV shows can follow you, whichever Space you swap to), QuickLook for your recordings, and the ability to browse the EyeTV Archive folder bundle with CoverFlow. Perhaps the crowning feature, however, is the integration of iChat Theater playback for your video files, along with playback controls and the ability to add your own commentary over the playback. Become your own broadcast hub!
The EyeTV update is a free download for registered customers from the Elgato website. The 50 MB patch can also be downloaded and installed from within the EyeTV application.Read | Permalink | Email this | CommentsКомментарии к сообщению:
http://www.tuaw.com/2007/10/31/elgato-updates-eyetv-for-leopard/#comments - Intego reporting new OS X trojan horse in the wild
Filed under: Security
Ah, Halloween, when all the nasties come out. Just when you thought it was safe to go surfing again, Mac AV vendor Intego is reporting an OS X-specific Trojan horse showing up on some sites and forums. The bit of nasty, which Intego is calling OSX.RSPlug.A and other sources refer to as DNSchanger or Ultracodec/Zlob (Windows version), is delivered on the pretense of installing a QuickTime codec necessary to view adult videos. Once the .dmg is downloaded and the installer is run (with administrative permissions), rather than a new video codec you've got rogue DNS server settings + a cron job that continually sets your DNS back to the bogus entries. Making matters worse, on Tiger the fake DNS settings are invisible in the Network system preference pane.
These fake DNS entries might mislead your machine to spyware sites (unlikely to affect your Mac), pay-per-click search engines (annoying but not dangerous), more pornography (potentially troublesome), or -- and this is really the problem -- Potemkin versions of financially sensitive sites like PayPal, eBay or banks, which would presumably capture your login credentials before handing you off to the genuine article.
While at least one unfortunate poster at Apple's support forum has been bitten by this malware, some simple precautions -- turning off "Open Safe Files" in Safari and, hmm, I dunno, not installing software downloaded from pornography sites -- will go a long way toward preventing the spread of this malware. Remember, a Trojan does not self-distribute; this code depends on user behavior as the vector of infection, so behave.
Update: Rob Griffiths at Macworld has posted helpful detection and removal instructions for the Trojan.

http://www.tuaw.com/2007/10/31/let-jared-serenade-your-trick-or-treaters-for-halloween/#comments - Will Leopard allow virtualization of OS X Server?
Filed under: Enterprise, Software, XServe, Leopard
Big-iron system admins with a Mac streak (there's more of them than you'd think) would dearly love to see a fully virtualizable version of Mac OS X Server, one that could be slotted into a VMware infrastructure on third-party hardware, and run alongside other server OSes like Windows Server, Linux and Solaris, sharing hardware resources and reducing administrative costs. Shame that it won't happen: Apple's licensing doesn't permit running 10.x Server on anything other than Apple gear. There is some change in the air, though, as a careful reading of the new license agreement for Server 10.5 reveals -- virtualization of OS X Server on OS X Server may be coming sooner rather than later.
A post on the Macenterprise mailing list and an article at TidBITS take note of this licensing change, which now would seem to explicitly permit the use of multiple instances of Mac OS X Server on a single Apple machine. With this green light, applications like the in-early-beta Parallels Server and the unannounced but surely-in-progress VMware equivalent could provide multiple instances of OS X Server along with Linux or Windows VMs, all on the same box. Depending on how your network services are set up, this could be a big help in selling X Server into your organization.
We'll keep an eye on both Parallels and VMware for future announcements in server virtualization. Exciting times!

Looking to compile software for the iPhone and iPod touch under Leopard? There are two approaches: You can download the latest toolchain svn from Google Code or you can use a legacy toolchain installer that just happens to work under Leopard.
Last night, Nicholas "Drudge" Penree pointed me towards a copy of Elliot Kroo's legacy 0.04 toolchain installer. This installer dates back to the "bad old days" of arm-apple-darwin-cc, before the better gcc version appeared. On the other hand, a working solution is a working solution so I'm not complaining.
After downloading, I mounted the disk image, ran the installer and then the "ooh shiny" program. To make this work, I had to install a copy of the iPhone disk as /usr/local/arm-apple-darwin/heavenly. There are various methods for getting a copy of your 1.1.1 disk floating around the net up to and including decrypting the install dmg from Apple. Google for details if you're unsure how to do this.
Next, since this is a VERY legacy install, I had to edit my .arm-cc-specs and fuss with them until they matched my system.
Finally, I grabbed a copy of my old libarmfp.dylib file and put everywhere I could think of until I got some existing projects to compile. I believe my final places to put it were /usr/local/arm-apple-darwin/heavenly/usr/lib/ and /usr/local/local.toolchain/heavenly/usr/lib but you'll have to hunt around on your own system to see where it fits. You'll be looking to put it in the same folder that has the working gcc_s_v6.1 library.
After this, I ended up with a working--albeit legacy--toolchain running under Leopard. I'll download and compile the new toolchain at some point but this gives me some much-appreciated breathing space before I need to do that.

Filed under: iPhone
File this under 'expected news' perhaps, but MarketWatch reports that Australian mobile-provider Telstra is testing the iPhone and looking to bring it to the country sometime next year. Telstra CEO Sol Trujillo has been quoted as saying "Apple would have to produce an iPhone compatible with Telstra's Next G network, which operates at 850 megaHertz frequency."
This is where the plot thickens as, at least according to Wikipedia, Next G is in fact a CDMA-based network.
Even though no decision has been made, I'm sure that Australian readers will be pleased to hear that in addition to retail stores, Apple is planning to ramp up their presence in Oz further.

Filed under: Leopard, Developer
Apple sent out an email last evening announcing that the Leopard Dev Center is now open to ADC online members. Apple offers ADC online memberships for free to practically anyone who wants to sign up. Obviously you won't get access to the Leopard seeds, but there's still a ton of useful information in the Leopard Reference Library and development software (XCode 3) available at no charge. You can even watch the Coding Headstart introductory videos through iTunes, though the Coding Headstart tutorials themselves are only available to paid members. Nonetheless, if you've ever wanted to really dig into the technical nitty-gritty of Leopard, here's your chance.Read | Permalink | Email this | CommentsКомментарии к сообщению:

Filed under: Peripherals, Software
We've mentioned the problems folks have had with the Leopard upgrade with unsanity's APE installed. As Gruber points out, however, the same problem can affect people who have installed the Logitech Control Center software that comes with Logitech mice and keyboards, because LCC apparently uses APE behind the scenes. While some finger wagging is due to Logitech for this, the question now comes up as to what to use instead of LCC to gain access to all the buttons. It turns out that there are at least three options: USB Overdrive ($20), SteerMouse ($20), and ControllerMate ($15), all of which are now Leopard compatible. Of the three, I've only used ControllerMate myself and would recommend it. However, any of the three should give you back control of your Logitech mouse -- it's just a shame you have to spend extra money to get this kind of functionality.
