How to install a beta version of iOS on an iPhone

August 12, 2010 By Leave a Comment

If you are an iOS (iPhone/iPad) developer you might want to try the latest beta release on your device.  To do so you will need to do a complete restore.  But rather than install the latest available to the public you will want to use the latest beta.  Once you have downloaded and mounted the beta release DMG file head over to iTunes to do the restore.

First make sure you have a backup of your device.  Do it twice if you aren’t sure ;) Also may be prudent to “Transfer Purchases” as well just to be safe. When you are ready just do an ALT+Click on the Restore button in iTunes on the device screen to bring up an option to browse for the IPSW file with the iOS software.  After your device reboots you will want to restore from the backup you made earlier (you made a backup…. right?).

Understanding the Sharepoint CAML query

June 28, 2010 By Leave a Comment

Sharepoint allows you to utilize web service calls to retrieve and manipulate data.  To do this though you will need to be able to write CAML to create your queries.  I found this site pretty useful when it came time to really dig into creating my own custom CAML-based Sharepoint queries.

How to create a Sharepoint theme and set it up for others to use

June 7, 2010 By Leave a Comment

This is a pretty common task.  But one that there may be some “mystery” around if you haven’t done it before.  It is actually pretty simple once you get under the hood.  Check out these directions to find out how to create your own custom theme (based upon an existing one) quickly and easily.

Note: when you are editing the server XML file and putting in the new entry for your images, the images folder referenced is actually up a level from your themes directory.  The existing ones start with TH (there is a ton of other stuff in that folder).  Grab an existing one to get your dimensions.

Sharepoint Designer: “The folder name is not valid” error

May 13, 2010 By 2 Comments

This is one of those random WTF kind of issues that I run into when trying to connect to Coke’s Sharepoint servers while not on VPN.  I think I have finally found a nice workaround which is painfully easy.

Instead of clicking the option to open a site via the icon or File->Open Site simply use File->Open instead.  Here enter the full path to the site/subsite you are trying to open.  Worked like a champ for me!

MisFire(fox)

April 26, 2010 By Leave a Comment

If you are having difficulty with Firefox kicking off two events simultaneously and not happening in other browsers, the issue may lie with your $(document).ready or $(window).ready events.  Normally it isn’t a problem to have multiple .ready blocks on your page.  However, I ran into a pesky bug today that only affected Firefox.  Consolidating my initialization scripts into the same $(window).ready() block cured the problem.  This wasn’t ideal since I wanted to keep that code in a separate file, but the fix worked.
