    Two Apple IDs on new iMac

    I have been using MacBooks for a while with one Apple ID. No particular issues. However, I just got a new iMac and set it up with a new Apple ID. Several reasons for this, but the end result is I now have two Apple IDs. I'd like to load some of the purchased apps onto the new iMac. I've read...

    Can i update and still push apps to the App Store

    Hey guys, I was a few months ago in the beta of El Capitan 10.11.4 beta at the time and wanted to push a app to the App Store. It was not by way of the beta of xcode as far as I know and the upload went great. Once in iTunes connect I had the message that because of a beta I could not push apps...

    Universal Catch The Chicken - Crazy Concentration Game For iPhone & iPad

    Catch The Chicken... This game is so funny and annoying at the same time. Demands full focus and the funny chickens don't help with that at all. Concentration games like this one can really crack you up and make you keep playing 'till you complete the level... or the entire game. Try it out...

    Downloading El Capitan is like eating nails

    I have El Capitan installed. However, I want to download the El Cap installer, make a bootable thumb drive and install it clean on a new SSD.

    App Store charges App Bundle twice, despite the fact that you have bought it before

    Today I suddenly find Apple will charge you the App bundle fee again, no matter whether you have bought the individual app or not. The actual story is this: I bought that app bundle in Japanese Store. And then I am at Australian Store. Since I have no way to switch back to Japanese Store for...

    Where did Skype disappear from App Store ?

    Any ideas ? Is this another poor Microsoft update? They did it last time, when upgrading the app to 5.0 Why can they just do it via update process like normal people do? They can make appalling job from everything they touch !!

    Universal App Store clone versions and blatant rip offs

    What are developer's experiences with uploading their original apps to the App Store only to have clone versions be released or worse blatant rip offs be approved by Apple? To my knowledge, it is possible with certain software to extract some of the media resources (images etc) from an app...

    macOS and iOS unification

    It would be so good if OS X and iOS became one unified operating system at the base level, meaning that applications etc are universal across both. To do this without messing up the great way Mac works now, apps built for iOS which have flexible size guidelines could just be run as windowed...

    iPhone AdBlocker 2 (Cydia) vs. Minimal Hosts Blocker (Cydia) vs AdBlock Plus (App Store)

    Recently got caught with the http://www.best-iphone6s.com popup and was wondering if any of these three would prevent this from happening in the future. Also, is one preferred over the others?

    "Optimized for iPhone 5/6/6s" label in App Store missing

    I noticed recently that the "Optimized for iPhone 5/6/6s" label in the App Store has been removed. It was very clear to users in the past whether the app was updated to support @3x, but now it has become a game of guess and tell for me. Am I the only one getting this problem, or is Apple decided...

    App Store weird behavior

    For about 2-3 weeks I have had a rather bizarre issue with the App Store, which seems to be working even more slowly than usual. When the App Store is launched, it would only load and display certain elements, while others will appear only as placeholders (sometimes the titles of the apps will...

    I had to resort to torrent to download El Capitan

    What is wrong with the OS X App Store? I bought a Early 2015 MacBook Pro in November. Working great with Yosemite, but I of course wanted the latest and greatest. Trying to download it over Wi-Fi at my brothers and at an Internet Café was not working. I invested in a Thunderbolt Ethernet adapter...
