Apple Software Update Server Certificate Expired
UPDATE:
Apple updated the SSL Certificate for swscan.apple.com on early Sunday, May 25, 2014.
——-
Late Saturday afternoon, a colleague told me that he was having issues getting software updates through the Mac App Store.
An error has occurred
The certificate for this server is invalid. You might be connecting to a server that is pretending to be “swscan.apple.com” which could put your confidential information at risk.
Upon further investigation, apparently someone at Apple forgot to install new SSL Certificate for swscan.apple.com.
Is it possible that a small company like Apple could not afford at least one person to make sure all their security certificate up to date?
Mr Tim Cook, I am available to do the one job. How about $200,000 a year sound?
Apple Releases iTunes 11.2. to Fix the Hidden “Users” Folder
The Global nightmare is over!
In the early AM of May 17, 2014 Apple releases iTunes 11.2.1 to fix the hidden “Users” folder. After iTunes 11.2.1 is installed, “Users” folder is no longer hidden.
“Users” folder becomes hidden when the following conditions met:
- OS X Mavericks 10.9.3 build 13D65 is installed
- iTunes 11.2 is installed
- “Find My Mac” is turned on
The “Users” folder could be made visible again by changing the visibility flag using the Terminal command:
sudo chflags nohidden /Users/
Users are finding out that even after the “Users” folder becomes hidden again after reboot.
OS X Mavericks 10.9.3
Apple releases OS X Mavericks 10.9.3 build 13D65 on Thursday, May 15, 2014.
One note bale change that made some people talking is that OS X 10.9.3 now hides the “Users” folder from the root level of the drive.
To make the “Users” folder visible again, login as an administrator, launch Terminal.App and type the command:
sudo chflags nohidden /Users
Type in your password when prompted. If you do not have a login password for your admin account, leave it blank.
By the way, why didn’t you assign a password to your admin account? Set a password already.
There are many ways to access the “Users” folder without having to change its visibility.
In Finder menu, click “Go > Go to Folder…”
You can also press the key-combination “Command-Shift-G” to access the “Go to Folder” window.
Type in “/Users/” in the field and click “Go”. Finder will then display the content of “Users” folder.
Another way is to press the key combination Command and Up Arrow on the keyboard from your home folder.
