The post Reconnect Bluetooth Devices After Waking From Sleep appeared first on Justin Silver.
]]>My Macbook goes to sleep when I leave it idle for a few minutes which saves energy and locks the screen. Quite annoyingly – for a long time – upon waking up from sleep my Bluetooth devices would no longer be connected, and I was unable to reconnect them without rebooting. This was true for my headphones, my Jambox, and my cordless mouse.
After searching Google I found a few suggestions but none provided a permanent solution. A couple of things I tried –
I was finally able to determine that the underlying cause is a conflict between the WiFi and the Bluetooth radios – and it’s possible to fix without rebooting!
You should be good to go! Enjoy your rediscovered cordless freedom.

]]>This guide will show how to install PHP 7.0 on on Mac OS X. This version of PHP is also known as PHPNG to indicate it is the “next generation” of PHP. Many fundamental improvements have been made – for example WordPress sites should see a 100% performance increase switching from PHP 5.6 to PHP 7.0.
To start you will need to install Brew so that we can use it to install additional dependencies. Open Terminal and at the prompt enter the following.
ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)"
Once Brew is installed, install the dependencies we’ll need using the following command. Make sure you have tapped homebrew/versions
to access all dependencies (it won’t hurt to run it again if you’ve think you’ve tapped it, but aren’t sure).
brew tap homebrew/versions brew install \ autoconf \ automake \ bison27 \ freetype \ gd \ gettext \ git \ mariadb \ mcrypt \ t1lib \ zlib
Now we need to clone the PHP-7.0.0 branch of the PHP source and compile it using the built in scripts.
git clone -b PHP-7.0.0 https://github.com/php/php-src.git cd php-src ./buildconf --force env YACC=`brew --prefix bison27`/bin/bison ./configure \ --prefix="/usr/local/opt/phpng" \ --with-config-file-path="/usr/local/etc/phpng" \ --enable-bcmath \ --enable-calendar \ --enable-exif \ --enable-ftp \ --enable-gd-native-ttf \ --enable-gd-jis-conv \ --enable-mbstring \ --enable-pcntl \ --enable-sysvmsg \ --enable-sysvsem \ --enable-sysvshm \ --enable-wddx \ --enable-zip \ --with-bz2 \ --with-curl \ --with-iconv \ --with-freetype-dir=`brew --prefix freetype` \ --with-gd \ --with-gettext=`brew --prefix gettext` \ --with-gmp \ --with-jpeg-dir=`brew --prefix gd` \ --with-mcrypt=`brew --prefix mcrypt` \ --with-mysqli=`brew --prefix`/bin/mysql_config \ --with-openssl \ --with-pdo-mysql=`brew --prefix mariadb` \ --with-png-dir=`brew --prefix gd` \ --with-zlib=`brew --prefix zlib` make -j`sysctl -n hw.logicalcpu_max`
Now create the package installer and complete the installation via the GUI.
env INSTALL_ROOT=$PWD/phpng-pkg make install pkgbuild \ --root phpng-pkg \ --identifier net.php.phpng \ --version 7.0.0-dev \ --ownership recommended \ phpng-dev.pkg open phpng-dev.pkg
By default OS X will use the PHP binary located at /usr/bin/php
, which as of this writing is PHP 5.5. To have PHPNG take precedence, will need to symlink to the /usr/local/bin
directory. Run php -v
to make sure you have the correct version, and if it’s not what you expected try which php
to see the location that is being selected based on your $PATH
.
