Enabling Location Services Programmatically
AFP548

Location Services is an important part of OS X, but it is not obvious on how to enable it without going through the System Preferences GUI.  The preference that controls it is not in /Library/Preferences, and due to cfprefsd it is hard to find.

Thanks to Tim Sutton for help in finding where this preference lives.

It is a ByHost preference that exists in locationd’s container, at /var/db/locationd/Library/Preferences/ByHost/com.apple.locationd.$uuid.

To enable it, use this script:

View the code on Gist.

To disable it, simply remove the plist and reload locationd.

MacTech Pre-Conference Workshops
AFP548

If you are going to the MacTech Conference this year, you should check out the Workshops that are being offered on November 5th, the day before the Conference starts. These Workshops are designed to prepare you for and then complete a certification/accreditation or give you an in-depth look at a specific topic.

MacTech Conference 2013 Sessions Announced!
AFP548

MacTech Conference 2013 has been announced, and will be taking place from November 6-8 in Los Angeles, California.  Last year’s conference was packed day and night with great content and activities, and this year looks to be even better.

So far, quite a few sessions have been announced, including some from MacTech veterans Greg Neagle, Pam Lefkowitz, and Rich Trouton.  There are newcomers too, covering a wide range of subjects, with Nick McSpadden, Tom Bridge, and of course myself.

The change of venue to the Manhattan Beach Marriott looks to be a very good one. It is a newer hotel, and is many times closer to Los Angeles International Airport than the Sheraton of years past.  This is a very welcome change, as it is now a ten minute taxi ride, rather than a two hour shuttle ride.
