iPhone Simulator slow and jerky - ios-simulator

My problem is that when ever the iPhone has to push a view (like the keyboard) it takes a really long time (15+ seconds).
I never used to have this problem with the simulator, but after I updated xcode to 3.2.3, the simulator is almost un-usable for anything which requires a keyboard.
For example, on the simulator the springboard app (the one which stores your icons and has the search pane to the far left). When I scroll all the way over to the search, the keyboard pops up immediately but it takes a very long time for it to register any taps and the entire simulator becomes unresponsive.
This happens with any app.
Also, sometimes it can take a very long time for the keyboard to even show.
I'd really appreciate any thoughts!

In my case this was being caused by the NSZombieEnabled flag. Try disabling that if you have it set and the MKMapView may come "back to life".
EDIT: Unfortunately my problem just came back, so the above did not solve this problem. Sorry!

Finally solved this over here. In my case it was caused by a bad stick of RAM. OWC has a good article about checking for bad RAM DIMMs over here: http://eshop.macsales.com/Search/displayFAQDetails.cfm?ID=355 - maybe worth a shot. I re-seated my 2 risers in my Mac Pro, and the simulator is buttery smooth again!

Remember that using shiftkey you can toggle simulator animations slower or faster
pushing down shift for about 2 to 3 seconds toggle simulator to slow/fast animation

How to refresh without cache on Chrome iOS

I'm developing a website for fun and to learn and I'm trying it on my iPad too running Chrome.
Every time I have to make some changes to the CSS, though, I would have had to clear the cache going into Settings->History and cleaning it manually.
Is there an easier way?
If you guys have a keyboard connected to your iPad (I personally have the Logitech Type +) you can hit
Fn+Cmd+R
on your bluetooth keyboard and it will do the trick.

I am looking how to Go Back in iOS Simulator

I am looking for the keyboard shortcut for Going Back (to last screen) using the iOS Simulator.
I have tried searching, I didn't find anything.
I know this thread is old, but am gonna answer, it may help some on.
I dont know about a keyboard short cut to go back to the prev screen but on my iphone 12 simulator, I am swiping from the most left part of the screen to the right horizontally. Its working.
The iOS Simulator just runs iOS, so the way you would "go back" in the Simulator would be the same way you do on device. If you designed you application to "go back" with cmd-b (for instance), you would issue cmd-b in Simulator while your simulator device has focus. If you go back with a given swipe gesture, the same gesture should work in the Simulator.

No luck enabling developer mode on my Chromebook Pixel

I'm trying to get my Chromebook Pixel to run in developer mode. When i reach the recovery screen, I press Control - D and nothing happens. I press it over and over and nothing. I purchased a C720P as a gift for someone, and the Dev mode procedure worked on the first attempt !!! Really frustrating. I just ran through the recovery process with a USB to see if that would help, tried to invoke Dev Mode again and nothing.
Why wouldn't control - d work ? any ideas ?
all help is really appreciated. Thanks in advance.
BTW, this question was answered on the following thread, in case anyone else runs into this issue: https://groups.google.com/a/chromium.org/forum/#!topic/chromium-os-dev/-aAusdRe0LY
To invoke Recovery mode, you hold down the ESC and Refresh keys and
hold the Power button for at least 200ms (until the keyboard backlight
comes on). If you don't hold it for long enough, then it won't work. (Mike Frysinger)

I can't turn off my iPhone after building Project. What to do?

I am building a project. Everything fine. Then I installed that on my iPhone.
My iPhone stack at the front screen and that's it.
Pressing the power off button for long doesn't work.
The xcode says Could not launch "Application Name". permission denied.
Should I just wait till iPhone run out of battery?
Try to restart iPhone using the instructions here:
http://www.apple.com/support/iphone/assistant/phone/#section_1
"To reset iPhone, press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least 10 seconds, until the Apple logo appears."
My iPhone5's display became so large that I could not use it. When I tried to reset the size just like I do on my MacPro, it didn't work. So, I thought I'd restart it, but when I pressed the top button, the screen with the "slide to power off" came on and it was not possible to complete the task. It was frustrating and I thought of taking the battery out and putting it in again, but then I thought to try sliding the bar with my stylus pen and it worked immediately.

xcode 4 switch between header and source

this link
indicates that it is ctrl+cmd+up or down just like xcode says but mine seems to be revealing in finder even though the shortcut says otherwise.
Anyone else having this issue? How do you fix it.
Instead of using key combinations I like to use gestures for most of these kinds of actions in Xcode. For this one simply slide 3 fingers up or down and wait a moment. It will switch between the header and implementation file. I find it works very well on a Macbook Pro trackpad or my Magic Trackpad which has the enough space for these gestures. If you have a Magic Mouse you may not have enough space for this and other gestures.
I think you will find it easier to remember this gesture over the key combinations.
