AzureRM PowerShell Mac OS X
I recently had to install Powershell on my Mac (sigh) (bigger sigh) and I run into issues by trying to get AzureRM to work. Among others:
Login-AzureRmAccount : The 'Login-AzureRmAccount' command was found in the module 'AzureRM.profile', but the module could not be loaded. For more information, run 'Import-Module
AzureRM.profile'.
At /Users/iassael/Drive/Code/projects/azure/BulkAddAAD.ps1:5 char:1
+ Login-AzureRmAccount
+ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+ CategoryInfo : ObjectNotFound: (Login-AzureRmAccount:String) [], CommandNotFoundException
+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : CouldNotAutoloadMatchingModule
Everything can be resolved by installing AzureRM from here:
Install-Package -Name AzureRM.NetCore.Preview -Source https://www.powershellgallery.com/api/v2/ -ProviderName NuGet -ExcludeVersion -Destination $home/powershell/modules
Import-Module $home/powershell/modules/AzureRM.Profile.NetCore.Preview
Import-Module $home/powershell/modules/AzureRM.Resources.NetCore.Preview
Import-Module $home/powershell/modules/AzureRM.NetCore.Preview
Login-AzureRmAccount
PS. Import-Module would have to be rerun every time powershell is restarted.
OpenMP for Mac OS X El Capitan (Torch7)
Having followed a plethora of guides to achieve proper OpenMP support on OS X, this is how it can be done:
- Install Homebrew
- run “brew update” (don’t skip that 🙂 )
- run “brew install clang-omp”
- add the following lines to ~/.profile
export PATH=/usr/local/bin:$PATH# CLANG-OMP
export CC=clang-omp
export CXX=clang-omp++# Brew Libs
export C_INCLUDE_PATH=/usr/local/include:$C_INCLUDE_PATH
export CPLUS_INCLUDE_PATH=/usr/local/include:$CPLUS_INCLUDE_PATH
export LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib:$LIBRARY_PATH
export DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib:$DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH
Totally remove TimeMachine Backups.backupdb
To avoid command line errors with a simple sudo you have to run the following command:
sudo /System/Library/Extensions/TMSafetyNet.kext/Contents/Helpers/bypass rm -rfv /Volumes/[disk]/Backups.backupdb/
replacing [disk] with your drive’s name.
Fix Photo Booth’s Black Screen in Yosemite
There are several reasons this problem could be caused. In my case, running Yosemite 10.10, Photo Booth had a black screen and the menu was saying “no camera connected” although FaceTime worked fine.
The common sudo killall VDCAssistant solution didn’t work at all, as well as, reseting my NVRAM.
After a lot of debugging and trial and error, I found out that the problem originated from the fact that I used Dropbox and had created a symbolic link in the place of the ~/Pictures folder.
The solution is to open ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.PhotoBooth.plist with Xcode and change the link of ~/Pictures/Photo Booth Library to the absolute path of your new pictures folder.
Cheers~
Block Spotlight from sharing your searches with Apple
How to restore privacy:
Disable “Spotlight Suggestions” and “Bing Web Searches” in System Preferences > Spotlight > Search Results.
Safari also has a “Spotlight Suggestions” setting that is separate from Spotlight’s “Spotlight Suggestions”. This uses the same mechanism as Spotlight, and if left enabled, Safari will send a copy of all search queries to Apple.
You’d be forgiven for thinking that you’d already disabled “Spotlight Suggestions”, but you’ll also need to uncheck “Include Spotlight Suggestions” in Safari > Preferences > Search.
Advanced users can download the python script: fix-macosx.py to take care of the changes. (first install pyobjc using pip: pip install PyObjC)

Homebrew: ruby bad interpreter: No such file or directory
After installing 10.10 DP1 Yosemite (yeah I couldn’t resist the temptation) homebrew gave me the following error:
/usr/local/bin/brew: /usr/local/Library/brew.rb: /System/Library/Frameworks/Ruby.framework/Versions/1.8/usr/bin/ruby: bad interpreter: No such file or directory
This error can easily be fixed in the following steps:
1) Open terminal
2) nano /usr/local/Library/brew.rb
3) In the first line change “1.8” to “Current”, so it should look like this:
#!/System/Library/Frameworks/Ruby.framework/Versions/Current/usr/bin/ruby -W0

Chrome Spelling for non System Language MacOSX
In order to make chrome check your spelling for a different language rather than the system’s (in this example Greek) you can run the following command in your Terminal.app
defaults write com.google.Chrome AppleLanguages ‘(el-GR)’
Για να ενεργοποιήσετε τον ορθογραφικό έλεγχο για Ελληνικά ενώ τα Αγγλικά είναι η προεπιλεγμένη γλώσσα του συστήματος σας εκτελέστε την παραπάνω εντολή στο Terminal.app . Δυστυχώς αλλάζει και η γλώσσα εμφάνισης του Chrome αλλά ενεργοποιείται ο ορθογραφικός έλεγχος ΕΠΙΤΕΛΟΥΣ!!! (:
