I'm using the final version of Xcode 10 on macOS Mojave beta 11. I downloaded the Additional Tools for Xcode 10 package from Apple's website.
When I try to install the Network Link Conditioner Preference Pane, Settings.app displays this error:
“Network Link Conditioner” preferences is installed with macOS and can’t be replaced.
However, the preference pane is not visible inside Settings.app. I even checked under /Library/PreferencePanes - it's not there.
How can I get around this?
I ended up manually copying the .prefPane file to:
/Library/PreferencePanes
After restarting Settings.app, it finally appeared on the list and worked perfectly.
As Martijn Scheffer stated in this comment, the reason for the pane not appearing in System Preferences is that the installer incorrectly puts the file to ~/Library/PreferencePanes instead of /Library/PreferencePanes.
Download in https://developer.apple.com/download/more/ Additional Tools for Xcode 10.1
Network Link Conditioner is already installed but you can't see it on the Settings App.
This worked for me:
Press Command + Space to open spotlight
Search for Network Link Conditioner
It will appear on the result, click on it and it will open Settings
app.
Network Link Conditioner is now visible in the Settings App. Open it
from the Settings app.
Hope this helps!
+1 to brainray, what worked for me was:
Download new Network Link Conditioner
Replace the old one in /Library/PreferencePanes
Open Network Link Conditioner directly from /Library/PreferencePanes
It now appears in my Settings app
In case the NLC is freezing when turning it on in the preferences it's important to note that it has to run as admin.
With the following command the preference app from MacOS can be started as admin:
sudo /Applications/System\ Preferences.app/Contents/MacOS/System\ Preferences

Update on the answer June 2019 Xcode 10.2
Apple has moved Network Link Conditioner Tool to additional tools for
Xcode
Go to the below link
https://developer.apple.com/download/more/?q=Additional%20Tools
Install the dmg file, select hardware from installer
select Network Link conditioner prefpane
Double clicking the Network Link Conditioner.prefPane in the Additional_Tools_for_Xcode_x.dmg worked for me - it appeared in the Settings after asking for permission to install.

Opening it from System Settings - it says it can't be loaded.
Doesnt show up in Xcode .
Any clue? I went thru everything I could find about this
In order to make it work again in Catalina you have to remove the existing Network Link Conditioner from System Preferences and then download it again from Additional Tool for your current Xcode version.
There is a Network Link Conditioner in iOS developer settings on the device...
Aptana studio used to work fine on OS X El Capitan but after updating to Sierra it doesn't work anymore... Can anybody help me fix this? I keep getting a crash log every time screenshot uploaded I open the app. Something I've noticed is that the aptana icon in the applications is a folder and not just a normal app icon. Earlier as I remember it was just a normal app icon on El Capitan. I use aptana on a daily basis as a university student so its vital for me for this to work.
Edit: I have tried a lot of methods including reinstalling java but still it doesn't work. Only way to make it work is to open up the application package and open the terminal executable aptana3. It runs perfectly then but if I launch from the usual app drawer icon it crashes.
This security measure can correct it from System Preferences -> Security and Privacy -> General tab.
By default, Sierra, the option “Allow applications downloaded from does not appear Anywhere “. But with a simple instruction from the command line so we can correct.
Go to the folder Applications -> Utilities -> Terminal
In Terminal, enter or copy…
sudo spctl --master-disable
Type your password (it will not appear, however it is present) and press Enter
Click the lock and enter your Administrator password to make changes.
After changing this option, and can install any software, so if compatible with OS 10.12.
Open finder and navigate to "Applications -> Aptana"
Right click on the Aptana executable and click show contents
Navigate to "Content -> MacOS"
Double click click on AptanaStudio3
You will get a popup saying you need legacy Java SE 6
Click "More Info..." button and download and install it (very slow download, just wait it out)
Once installed double click the AptanaStudio icon in step 4 and Aptana Studio 3 will open
You will need to use that as the shortcut as the Aptana icon from installation will still not work.
Good luck.
I have same problem and solved with some workaround.
First download and install java for mac: https://support.apple.com/downloads/DL1572/en_US/javaforosx.dmg
If this not work or you reinstalled aptana after upgrading to sierra I advice to find a old copy of aptana directory and put it to application directory.
I had the same problems on MacOS Sierra; crashing on load, or the JVM error if I launch from within the package contents.
I didn't find any solution to this directly, but instead I installed the latest version of Eclipse first, then installed Aptana from Eclipse. That seems to be working.
In order to use Aptan on El Capitan, first you must install the legacy java 6 version for mac:
https://support.apple.com/kb/DL1572?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US
The only thing is that you won't be able to access it like a normal application on your mac.
To open Aptana you must run:
Applications -> Aptana(right click to "Show package contents") -> Contents -> MacOS -> AptanaStudio3
I have downloaded Hardware IO Tools for Xcode 7.1 from the Apple Developer site and installed it by opening the DMG and then double clicking Network Link Conditioner.prefPane.
I then go to my System Preferences and can see the Network Link Conditioner is there. I can go into it but as soon as I click the switch to turn it on the whole System Preferences freezes up. Also, I noticed that my keyboard seems to stop working...somewhat. I can still do cmd + spacebar and then type in there to search my system but I can't type into the URL field on safari for example.
My Mac: OS X Yosemite v10.10.5
My Xcode: v7.2.1 (7C1002)
By the way, I downloaded the 7.1 version of the Hardware IO Tools as they only have a 7.1 or 7.3 version, there doesn't seem to be a version for 7.2. Maybe that is the issue? I can't currently upgrade to 7.3 as that requires me to upgrade OS X to 10.11 but our company policy does not currently allow for that.
Anybody know how I could fix this?
Could this be caused by the fact that I am not an admin on my machine?
My suspicion was correct, it wouldn't start as it needs to be run as an admin.
If you're not an admin, you need to run a command such as
sudo /Applications/System\ Preferences.app/Contents/MacOS/System\ Preferences
or in my case I had to get an admin in the office to do:
su - <admin_username> /Applications/System\ Preferences.app/Contents/MacOS/System\ Preferences
These commands will open the System Preferences as an admin user.
I have noticed that when he Network Link Condition is open in the System Preferences, my keyboard stops working in certain areas still. For example, I couldn't type in here whilst the panel was open (even with it turned off) but as soon as I closed the panel I could type again. I will possibly open another question at a later dare about this though.
I just downloaded XCode_6_beta_6.dmg from the official apple website. However, when prompted to drag the installation to the application folder, it just unarchived the installation but does not install XCode_6_beta_6. When i try to open xcode_6_beta_6 from the applications folder, the new xcode6 beta icon just keeps popping in the application dock and does nothing. How do i overcome this situation so that the new xcode6 beta is installed on my machine?
For some weird reason, apple does not trust this installation and hence does not continue.
Please follow the below instructions to continue with the installation.
Open System Preferences
Open Security and Privacy
Unlock the settings screen if it is not already unlocked.
select "Anywhere" from the "Allow apps downloaded from:" section.
lock and close the preferences screen.
Your installation shall start in a moment!!
Also happened to me. Used Deepak's fix but had an additional strange problem where the Icon would still stay bouncing in the dock. Be patient & wait (for me it took a good 10 minutes!) for a dialogue box to eventually appear saying 'This is an application downloaded from the internet, do you want to open?' Obviously click 'Open'. Odd, considering it's Apple's own app.
I'm trying to get Network Link Conditioner working on my machine that is running OS X Mavericks. I'm running Developer Preview 8 (the latest as of this writing). I downloaded the "Hardware IO Tools for Xcode 5 Developer Preview - June 2013" to get the Network Link Conditioner pref pane. I have also tried the version of Network Link Conditioner from the previous Hardware IO Tools bundle which fails to open with a "Could not load Network Link Conditioner preference pane." error when trying to load it.
With the version for Xcode 5 I get one of two fail states.
First, when I open NLC and click the lock icon to "make changes" I see the administrator unlock window that says:
com.apple.Network-Link-Conditioner.remoteservice.xcp wants to make changes. Type your password to allow this.
When this shows up I am unable to enter my password. No keyboard characters are registered in the password field, or in any other application until I cancel the password prompt. I have no trouble with the equivalent dialog in any other preference panes.
Second, I am sort of able to get past the password issue by uninstalling the latest NLC pref pane, installing the previous version, uninstalling the previous version, and then re-installing the latest NLC preference pane. However, I note that the password dialog is different in this case. I get the more generic:
System Preferences wants to make changes. Type your password to allow this.
In this second failed state, once I type in my password the NLC pref pane is fully accessible but has zero affect on my network link.
Has anyone been able to use the Network Link Conditioner successfully on OS X Mavericks?
Update:
The version of Hardware IO Tools released on October 22 and the final release of Mavericks appear to be working excellent.
Try re-installing it. It fixed the issue for me, though I was having different error messages.
Open System Preferences, right-click (or control-click) on the Network Link Conditioner and click "Remove Network Link Conditioner" to remove it.
In Xcode got to the Xcode menu -> Open Developer Tool -> More Developer Tools...
In the browser window that opens, grab the most recent Hardware IO tools .dmg
Double click the "Network Link Conditioner.prefPane" on the disk image to install it.
How I got it solved was:
Uninstall "Network Link Conditioner", open System Preferences and press CTRL and click on the "Network Link Conditioner" icon. Select "Delete".
Restart Computer
Download "Hardware IO tools" dmg for your version on XCode, from https://developer.apple.com/download/ you have to be logged in for this.
Open it and Install "Network Link Conditioner"
Restart the computer one last time.
It should be working fine now!
I was also having problems with Network Link Conditioner working after upgrading to Mavericks. For me the problem was the default security settings after the upgrade that prevented software from running unless it came form the Mac App Store.
Updating this setting:
System Settings > Security & Privacy > General > Allow apps downloaded from: > Anywhere
and reinstalling the Network Link Conditioner pref pane fixed it for me. Without this setting you can install and enable it, but it has no effect and silently fails.
On macOS Sierra v10.12.1 with Xcode 8.1, I tried a couple of the Hardware IO Tools for Xcode downloads. All of which resulted in a silent failure like #aidaan such that the Network Link Conditioner plain didn't do anything.
After finding this discussion, I uninstalled the previous Hardware IO Tools for Xcode components, and instead utilized the Additional Tools for Xcode 8.1 downloaded from the downloads page, the Network Link Conditioner in the Hardware directory for that .dmg worked perfectly.
