    BootCamp 6 Required

    Anyone still has the BootCamp 6 drivers? I have tried the following link: http://swcdn.apple.com/content/downloads/10/60/031-30899/6u2bha6n3pckjca1j44jw9m28yq72nh6li/AppleBcUpdate.exe ; unfortunately it says "404". So, I wonder if anyone here still has a backup of it?

    Transfer music from iPhone to new Mac's iTunes

    I just got a new Mac. I opened iTunes, connected my iPhone and thought it would sync the music from my iPhone to the iTunes library, but alas it did not. I've looked up how to do it and tried a programme called iTransfer, but nothing worked. It's weird because in the past, any new music on my...

    I came from C# development and even though I've been spending the past few months looking into iOS development and know enough to keep me busy for a while, all I've ever seen is people putting code directly into the ViewController leading to a fat controller.
