I want my application to run on specific computers that are licensed to use
the software. This is for limited use, and isn't a product for the masses.
I've realized that you can limit the software to run on specific computers
by limiting using the serial number of the machine. how secure is it? can
How can I do the following in Cocoa:
1- Get the list of mounted drives?
2- Get the serial number of the mounted drive/disk
I would assume when you plugin a disk drive that was already configured to
use Time Machine. Time machine would check the serial number, and start
backing up if it's already "

I'm using NSTask to spawn a process to do some work as per the code below:
-(void)downloadFile:(NSString *)downloadURL

downloadFilePath = [self generateUniqueTemporaryFileName];

Hello everyone,
I'm writing an App, and I have the following list of questions, of which I
couldn't find any satisfying answers elsewhere.
1- How do you ensure only one instance of your app is running? How do you
detect if it stops responding? Can you restart it using something like a
watchdog? An

I'm building a client/server app. The client and server communicate using
FTP. I added my own custom commands, since this application will be in a
controlled environment. The server part is done, now I'm working on the
client. What is the easiest framework/class to embed in my app? I looked

I'm currently developing an App in iTunes, and I'm new to Cocoa and the
entire Mac development world. So far, things are looking great. I have few
questions, about which is the best strategy to follow in order to accomplish
some tasks. This is a special purpose app, in a controlled environment.

The sample you sent is deprecated. This is code from 1992 that uses old
networking APIs. And I read a complete book about networking programming in
C. But my goal is to do it in ObjC/Cocoa. I can't believe that there;s no up
to date code to look at!

Hello,
I'm new to ObjC/Cocoa, I'm trying to write an App that is somehow
similar rsync, but for a specific purpose. More or less it does the
following:
* The App is Leopard only. I don't care about Tiger.
* A GUI Cocoa App which scans a certain directory for files and
displays them in a table vie
