HDR Mini Cooper

Mike Franklin came to stay this weekend and whilst he was here he took this awesome HDR shot of my Mini Cooper.

I’ve also uploaded some of my own photos here: http://flickr.com/photos/nez/

How to remove the iPhone Configuration Web Utility from your mac

If like me, you installed Apple’s new iPhone Configuration Web Utility for Mac when it was released, which happens to be a ruby on rails app, then you may have found out how hard it is to get rid of.

It’s especially annoying if you are a rails developer since it launches on port 3000 when your mac starts up, meaning you would have to specify a different port every time you want to start your server, very annoying.

So after a bit of googling, I have collected the commands you need to run in the terminal to remove them, they are listed below (you need to be an admin user to run them).

First stop it running:
sudo launchctl unload /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.iPhoneConfigService.plist

Then stop it starting up:
sudo rm /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.iPhoneConfigService.plist

Remove the files:
sudo rm -rf /private/var/db/iPhoneConfigurationWebUtility/
sudo rm -rf /private/var/log/iPhoneConfigurationWebUtility/
sudo rm -rf /usr/local/iPhoneConfigService/

And finally remove the user
sudo dscl . delete /groups/_iphoneconfigwebutil
sudo dscl . delete /users/_iphoneconfigwebutil
