Yeah http://www.stackoverflow.com is a great resource also. But it's more designed for people who are already up and coding and looking for help with specific things.

Yeah you can get Xcode and the iOS SDK for free. Paying allows you to; test on device, submit to the app store, and beta test new releases. I wouldn't recommend doing it until you've made some headway on a serious app because it's an annual fee. If you're not planning to put something on the...

I actually really like the wired Apple keyboard with 10 key. I use one at home and work. I've become very accustomed to that style of key layout from the laptops I've owned over the years. My mice are nothing special; cheap, wired, and optical. The one I have at home is a Logitech, at work I...

If you have iBooks you can download a lot of the core texts by Apple such as The Objective-C Programming Language. However, if you don't have a reasonable amount of experience programming in another language I would not recommend these texts as a starting point. You'd be better off finding...

Thank you admin. Splapster, please let me know your result. FYI you have to be a registered Apple iOS Developer ($100 annual fee), and you have to have registered the device on developer.apple.com as a test device. I'm new to iOS dev and haven't tested on the device yet so I'm not certain the...

Edit: Admin, could you please move this to where you think the post is most appropriate. I don't know if this an appropriate place to ask or not, but I'm curious to hear what users experiences are developing in Xcode on their hackintosh's. I haven't seen any threads about it and thought it...

How do I change my boot options after the initial install? I have this same problem with 'GraphicsEnabler=No'. But I don't know if I can fix that because I have not been able to boot with 'GraphicsEnabler=Yes' and when I changed that setting I did a full reinstall of the OS. EDIT: I fixed the...

Can the values displayed in System Information be trusted? I just installed my OS about an hour ago and it says I'm running 10.7.2 (11C74) also, I installed Xcode which it says is version 3.2.1 (4D502). All four of these values are exactly the same as on my Macbook which is completely up to...

Oh I think I figured it out. There's an option for GraphicsEnabler under customization. Now I just need to figure out which version of the BIOS I have, but that won't be too bad. Worst case I spend 20 minutes trying all three. By the way, for anyone who installs using the wrong DSDT you can...

I loaded optimized defaults after setting AHCI instead of before and so it reverted to IDE. I've fixed that and installed to the hard drive now. But my post install didn't go so well. I think I may have used the wrong version of the DSDT for my board. I can't find where the BIOS version is...

K, I'm going to have to boot again because it's not recognizing the drive I want to install on. This is going in another direction, but do you know a work around for that? I'm using an Intel 320 series SSD.

I got to the installer with "GraphicsEnabler=No" Sorry for the useless thread. Although, a screen shot in the install tutorial would make that step more clear.

Computer freezes without any error message. I think it may be for lack of command line tags. I didn't quite understand that instruction because you're never at a command line, but now I'm assuming you type them in while your looking at Chimera, but before selecting USB. I did the Boot in Safe...

I've just got my system built, I adjusted the BIOS (ACHI, 64-bit, booting from USB-HDD). Chimera opens and after selecting my USB I am quickly redirected to the standard Apple loading screen (white screen, grey logo, spinning disk), the disk spins for a few, maybe thirty seconds, then it just...

I found this (viewtopic.php?f=14&t=32853&p=206476&hilit=choosing+a+DSDT#p206476) thread which is useful. That's basically what they said to do, look in go to the BIOS and you can figure out which version you have. I'm using a 16 GB flash drive so I'm just going to put all the DSDT files on...
