Is there any way to tinker with the iPhone SDK on a Windows machine? Are there plans for an iPhone SDK version for Windows?  The only other way I can think of doing this is to run a Mac VM image on a VMWare server running on Windows, although I'm not too sure how legal this is.

I love my MacBook (2008, aluminum, Intel processor with the low-end nVidia chipset). I don't like running Windows. I don't want a Windows Bootcamp partition, because I found I never used it. (I really only used it for Oblivion, and even then stopped eventually because I enjoyed it more on the XBox, and hated the reboot-into-Windows process.)  I'm using WINE to run Fallout and Fallout 2, with great success. I also have the Steam client, which I've used to get Portal and a second copy of Civ IV (+ addons, mostly so I didn't need the DVD with me).  What I want to know is, can I buy a Windows game from the Steam client for the Mac, and then run it via WINE? If so, do I need to take any special precautions? (For instance, my current winecfg emulates a 640x480 desktop to enable Fallout and Fallout 2.)

I actually have a Macbook Pro with Snow Leopard (I plan on upgrading to Lion).  I may have to buy an Mac mini in order to have a full dual screen (external identical screens) layout (see my ).  So I will work on a Mac Mini and a Macbook Pro, most of the time on the same LAN.  How to get everything completely synchronised, as fast as possible? (I don't know if iCloud can)  I am talking about every file/data on my computer:   applications application preferences mails calendar iPhoto/aperture libraries lots of small files (web development...) files out of my account (apache server files, php/libraries) ...   I don't want to manage 2 computers and do everything twice (installing something, configuring the system, etc...).

Can a Mac be used by different users at the same time?  I mean to say that we have a single Mac but 3 users. Can they access the same machine remotely at the same time for developing applications on iPhone or Mac?  Does Mac OS X server allow us to do this?  If so, how do I configure it for that?

If I create an application on my Mac, is there any way I can get it to run on an iPhone without going through the app store?  It doesn't matter if the iPhone has to be jailbroken, as long as I can still run an application created using the official SDK. For reasons I won't get into, I can't have this program going through the app store.

I am trying to download Xcode from the App Store, but it says that I have to have a newer version of macOS. But I don't have enough space on my computer to upgrade. Its like 8 gigs or something like that and if I only could download Xcode that was compatible with macOS Sierra that would be nice.

I am currently running 8.1. I'd like to try out Windows 10 and if I like it upgrade. If not, I'll keep running as I am.   I've never used a virtual machine before: can Window 10 be used from a virtual machine as a "sandbox", and if so how?

I work with two screens. On the primary screen, I have XCode on. On the other screen, I have the browser. While reading docs, I am usually focused on the XCode screen, typing in code.  So I want to close the tab in the other screen, I move my mouse to the 2nd screen and press CMD+W and it closes the XCode window instead because the focus is on that app. Sometimes I don't notice that the focus isn't on the other screen and close the app on the main screen instead. It's pretty annoying.  Is there any way to make the OS focus on the top window of the screen where the mouse pointer is active?

I think I would like to install Mavericks over Snow Leopard on my Intel Core 2 Duo MacBook Pro because I imagine it is more stable than Yosimite and I'm doing a lot of development on it, for which I want Port Tree (Fink in my case) packages to be available for items like Python, PostgreSQL, etc.  But Mavericks doesn't seem to be available on the App store anymore. Tried downloading from CNET, but all I seemed to be finding was an update.  I am tempted to just install Yosemite and would love to get some input.

I am taking my first dive into testing a mobile app.  It will be available to iOS and Android.  I've been searching for a way to test and automate iOS without having an actual iPhone or any other Mac device.  We run Windows here at the office.  I was looking to use iPhone emulators but it doesn't seem possible.  I saw Appium Studio/SeeTest but it seems even that requires iTunes and a real device.  I know you can set up a Mac vm on a Windows machine but are there any other ways to test iPhone without having to do this?

Apple now allows you to run OS X inside a Virtual Machine as long as the host is running Apple hardware. Because we need to test our web site on various versions of Safari, we picked up a Mac Mini running Yosemite for testing purposes. The idea is to run Mavericks (currently our largest user base) and possible Mountain Lion in a VM on demand, similar to what .  However, I've yet to be able to find a place to download prior installer apps. I've found other StackExchange posts referring to the App Store, but since this is a new Apple ID there are no previous purchases for old versions, and as far as I can tell they are no longer available to "purchase". Likewise, I have not been able to find any OS X Installer apps on the Apple Developer site.  Am I missing something? Is there an easy-ish way to get these apps to install OS X to a VM?  (For VM host, we are currently using Virtualbox, but would be willing to use VMWare or Parallels if needed)

I have an existing windows application, for which I have decided to create a Mac version. The problem is that the current UI involves a lot of buttons, tabbed panels, multiple windows etc.  This UI had been rated as intuitive and easy to use and straightforward  by many customers and editors. But a beginner (very less experience) may find in confusing a little, but it has been complemented with tutorial.      When creating the Macintosh variant, should I focus on creating a simplified and minimalistic UI (this does not mean the current UI is complex, but I think Mac user's prefer a simple UI right?) or should I try to copy the exact same thing?  By reducing the UI some of the features may be missing. But it can be added later if needed. Should I focus on a fresh approach (this is easier rather than copying the complex UI pattern) or should I go with the old recognized setup?

I have a Mac OS X and VMware Fusion.  I did a fresh install of 12.04.  I do not have VMware Tools installed.    I read that I do not have to log in at the command window, that I have to wait for VMware Tools to get installed. It seems like something is wrong.

Is there any way to get blender to render on systems without a GUI?  Over the network on systems with a GUI?  I know of a service that will let you buy virtual servers that are charged by the hour, not the month, allowing to purchase extra performance on demand very cheaply!  The question itself is OS-agnostic, but in this case you can essentially respond in a any OS you would like.

I need a cross platform method of determining the MAC address of a computer at run time.  For windows the 'wmi' module can be used and the only method under Linux I could find was to run ifconfig and run a regex across its output.  I don't like using a package that only works on one OS, and parsing the output of another program doesn't seem very elegant not to mention error prone.   Does anyone know a cross platform method (windows and linux) method to get the MAC address?    If not, does anyone know any more elegant methods then those I listed above?

I'd like to do something with my windows on OS X, where something includes options like re-arranging, moving, re-sizing, remembering positions, cloning across Spaces, etc. What options exist?  Rules   One app per answer. Use this format for the first two lines of your answer: ## [app name](link to website) [App Store](link to appstore) (price)    Check for duplicates before adding new answers.  If you find a duplicate, vote it down and encourage its poster to upvote the original entry instead (and remove the dupe). Include short description about what this Window Managing app does.  What makes this Window Manager app different than the others? Is it focused on re-sizing using only the keyboard? Is it focused on moving using only mouse gestures? Etc.
