Hi Paul, If your company had been doing at least a Time Machine backup you wouldn’t have had "the Mavericks box crashed really really hard - completely unrecoverable.” Make sure you are backing up all of your computers from now on so you don’t have that experience again.
The Apple Developer site is pretty inadequate even for Apple Developers. I think the problem is that they write from the standpoint as they understand things, and they fail to write it for someone who might be encountering the information for the first time. They should have new people evaluate their site whenever possible, but they don’t do that for some reason. They should also provide videos on their various subjects, but they don’t do that either. Fortunately, there are some nice youtube.com <http://youtube.com/> videos that others have made that can help out. Unfortunately some of them are outdated or are not of sufficient screen quality that one can determine what they are doing. You will have to wade through the mess like the rest of us. It takes a lot of extra patience and too much extra time before success happens. Hopefully someone will come up with some better instructions and videos some day. Good luck, and hopefully some others on this list can point you to some better resources.
