Having trouble setting up xip.io with MAMP Pro - mamp

I am having a lot of trouble setting xip.io for MAMP Pro on OS X Lion. I am doing this so I can run Adobe Shadow locally.
I have read through 2 tutorials:
http://blogs.adobe.com/shadow/2012/06/19/shadow-xip-io-virtual-hosts-workflow-simplified/
http://www.thenerdary.net/post/24695946158/xip-io-and-apache-serveralias/
done what they have both said and still can't seem to get it fully working.
All I get is a page saying "It works!" but I can't get it to display the index.php page that resides in that folder.
Has anyone else set this up using the same environment or know of a good (more in depth) tutorial that could help ..?
Many thanks, Jack

Appcelerator Live View Console.Log not working

Odd one this. Ever since upgrading to iOS10 and the latest Appcelerator SDK (5.5.0), I can't get even a simple console.log("hi!") to show anything in the console when I'm testing on an iPhone 6s Plus connected to my Mac via USB, using LiveView.
I've tried changing it to Ti.API.info("hi!") - which I believe is the old way to do it - to no avail. If I change it to alert("hi!"), that works fine. However, it's not as useful as console.log used to be when developing things which MUST be tested on a connected device (the camera, in my case).
I've Googled this, plus done extensive searching on StackOverflow.
It may be that this is so new that no-one has noticed yet.
Can anyone help?
It's a known issue. Apple changed something with the way they log data. The Appcelerator SDK has to be adapted to this changes. I'm pretty sure they'll fix it asap. You'll have to await an update.
Greetings
Edit: Here is the corresponding jira ticket (https://jira.appcelerator.org/browse/TIMOB-23786)

Flash Builder 4.7 crashes only when Wifi is off (OS X 10.9.2)

I'm subscribing to Adobe CC just for FB and Flash Pro. This bug seems undocumented but is hugely annoying. It has not always been this way - it developed over time, and for awhile if I toggled wifi and restarted it would work again. It is definitely not a workspace corruption; I've reinstalled FB, I've tried different workspaces. What happens is that when wifi is on, or as long as the computer is allocated an external IP, Flash Builder 4.7 works. If wifi is off, or if it fails to find a network, FB crashes before it tries to load the workspace.
Interestingly, if I create a wifi network, assigning my own box a 192.168.. address, FB launches. But if I turn off wifi while FB is open, it throws an error when I try to save files, and throws another error when I quit, saying it can't save the workspace. It's beyond me why, but FB is obviously failing read/write in the absence of a non-local IP being allocated to the box.
This happens even with a clean install and no projects or dependencies.
Has anyone encountered this one? FWIW, I'm also running Eclipse Helios and Kepler, as well as Flash Builder 4 on the same box for maintaining older code - plus Flash Pro and the rest of the CC without any problems. What is up with FB 4.7 ?! I wish Adobe had just put out a damn Eclipse plugin instead of this pile of **** I'm paying $50 a month for. To be an IDE that fails whenever I can't get online.
I can't upgrade OS X on this box, but I doubt it would make a difference, since this is a Java error of some kind and FB hasn't been updated since 2013 or so anyway. It used to work. Unless I got infected with a worm that's trying to upload things I write, I don't see a reason it stopped unless some perms or base code got corrupted. Any insight would be welcome.
This turns out to be a problem with localhost domain resolution on OS X. A workaround can be found here:

j2me - Delete record store (RMS) files before starting a MIDlet on Netbeans Emulator

Please does anyone of you know how to clear the RecordStore in the NetBeans Emulator??
I found this How do you clear the RecordStore of your midlet in Netbeans? , but the solution in that post suggests using an option that it is not available in the version I'm using (netbeans-7.1.1 and jdk-6u23)
The strange thing about this is that when I installed this very same version on my pc at work and at home it works as expected, that is , every time I run an application RMS is clear, but now that it's time for QA to test my application I give them the same installers I used, but the emulator they have keep the RMS even if I close the emulator. Perhaps this is a configuration thing. To be honest I don't understand what might be happening because as I told you I've already installed this emulator in up to 4 computers with the only difference that in those four computers where the emulator works as expected I have also installed the Nokia sdk (S40_6th). I didn't give them also the nokia installer because I don't use it.
Now three people need to test my app at the same time and we only have one physical device,the one I used for development, the other two will have to use the emulator. The problem is that RMS won't be clear no matter what I do.
Your comments and suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Mac equivalent of UIBarButtonSystemItemAction

Is there an equivalent of UIBarButtonSystemItemAction on OS X Mountain Lion ? I did go through the NSSharingService documentation and could not find anything. It should exist as Preview.app and Safari.app display that kind of icon which is not in their resource files (I did go through the files).
Thanks
This is a similar question to this one. Glad it could be of some help. I find it interesting that the Mac sdk and the ios sdk are still different in areas like this.

Does AIR run on XP embedded?

I cant seem to find any answer to this, other than a series of forum posts asking the same question going unanswered.
Does AIR 2.0 run on XP embedded?
YES it works!
Received the box today, installed air runtime, installed app no issues. I guess it must be well set up image.
Yes and No. Some people have done it. Others say no. I think you will have to try it yourself. If stability is important maybe you should get different hardware or move away from an AIR based application.
