Managing photos on iPhone/iPad iEtc

Syncing photos on the mac for iPhone can be such a pain because syncing and managing it is two separate function. And since I was too cheap to buy appeture or iPhotos, I have to find other ways to manage photos on my macbook.

To manage photos (i.e. download them to your macbook) and not sync and find that your photos is inside a "Photo Database" file which is a 4KB unix file - which actually redirects to the iPhone backup folder. Truth be told, whenever you sync, the files are actually on your computer inside the following path: but you can't use them. its giberish. You need to organise them and this is how:

In short:

1. Connect your iphone
2. Create a folder on your Pictures main folder, I call mine "Aaron's Iphone"
3. Start Image Capture (can be found under applications)
4. Select to import to "Aaron's Iphone" folder and import all.
5. Manage the pictures and the next time you can sync accordingly

hdd recovery

1. try this:
diskutil list
sudo gpt recover /dev/disk3

2. if that fails, try recovery:
- easeu data recovery is pretty good and fast
- disk drill is also pretty good but doesn't remember the file names

Creating your own IPA file from appcelerator

Build the app using the distribution build mode of Titantium
Navigate to the project's build > iPhone > Release-iphonesos folder
If there is a *.ipa file as some get, just use it.
Otherwise create a new folder at that level called Payload
Move the project.app folder to inside the Payload folder
Zip the Payload folder

iPhone SDK: Application failed codesign verification

Check the following:

1. We are using release | device - during compilation, if you cannot select release then chances are configuration for arvm6 was not selected (we need to use standard)

2. check that the codesign has distribution selected and not any other certs

3. the release shoudl be at: Release-iphoneos

4. if there is no popup that asks for permissions to do codesign, then chances are the setup is wrong some where.. for example the active executable is towards that of the iOS simulator and not for release.
