My roommate and I are working on a PC program in Visual Basic that can
control iTunes with our skins.  I was hoping to work on a version for
OS X but I can't find the same documentation available in the Windows
iTunes SDK so I am a bit lost.

How can I do this?  If I want to say, add a menu item under the FInder's
"Go" menu. Is there a supported way of doing this?
TIA

whats wrong with this?
stringTemp[strlen(string)] = NULL;

I am a very novice Cocoa programmer, but I seem to have already hit a
wall which I cannot seem to surmount. I'm attempting to access the
photo gallery webservice of a small social networking site that I
use(at the request of the site's owner) and cannot seem to get a

I am wondering if someone could tell me how I would go about access a
remote Subversion repository using SCM in Xcode.  It might be quite
simple but for some reason I can't get it to work properly.

I'd like to see something like WINE for Mac OS 9 PPC PEF executables.
Had anyone started a project like this? It's a bit pointless now with
OS X but I'd like to try. The first problem is creating a PEF loader
for netbsd/ppc or linux/ppc. PEF is always(?) relocatable so the code

i have the macbook pro running 10.4.6 and xcode.

In my application I need to somehow take a screenshot of the mac
desktop.  There must be a way to do it as the command-shift-3 key combo
does it.  I want to do the exact same thing but put the screenshot in
my own internal buffer rather than output to a file.

I'll be setting up a cross plaform project soon and I was wondering if
anyone knew of any tools that allowed for cross platform project
definition.  On Windows, I have visual studio solutions/project files,
on linux I have make files and on mac I'll be having xcodeproj files.

I am considering buying one of the new Macbooks that Apple just
introduced. Previously I have been working with PC's. I am a scientist
and have always used the program "Reference Manager" for keeping track
on my litterature-references.

Cocoa's big problem is... Finding things.
Is there any downloadable reference on Cocoa listing all functions
alphabetically? I wanted to draw a fill rect - it took half an hour to
discover "NSRectFill".
