My log window is missing in Xcode 4. I don't know what I did, but now there is just a blank gray box where it should be at the bottom the Xcode window.
How can I get it back?
This button should do the trick:
... which, on my window, can be found here:
XCode must have been in a funky state, closing and reopening fixed it.

Is it possible to detach the console/log window in Xcode 6 to Xcode 9? If so, how do you detach it from the main console, into it's own window?
This question was previously asked for Xcode 4 but the answer doesn't work for Xcode 6 to Xcode 9 -
Stackoverflow - Same Question for Xcode 4
See the attached screenshot for illustration of the console/log view in question
Well, better late than never....
I found that I could maneuver and detach the console.
Add new tab.
Name the tab (eg Debugger).
In the new tab, expand the console so it fills the main window.
Right-click the new tab and select open in new window.
You'll have to quit Xcode and restart it to maintain the new window, rather than close projects or windows separately.
Apologize for the delay. Hope this is still useful..
UPDATE
This still works with Xcode 11.3!
To stop seperating the window : Xcode > Behaviors > Edit Behaviors
Then set as in the screenshot:
Solution without restarting Xcode. Thank #David DelMonte for illuminating me.
You can change Xcode behaviors configuration to open a new tab named Debugger in a separate window when project start running.
Then expand console view to full window in the debugger tab, Xcode will remember your reforms.
Has anyone experienced this in Xcode5? All my threads when debugging only shows the top stack entry.
I remember this bug from Xcode 4, but back then it was just a Xcode quit and relaunch. Now that doesn't work. I've tried everything. Even restarted my mac.
Any ideas?
There is a slider at the bottom of the navigation panel, move it to the right.
Whenever I try to run my project (in Xcode 4.6.3), it launces the iPhone Sim., the 'screen' on it goes black, and Xcode displays this same exact thing every time
If anything else such as code of the XIB's I'm using**, I would be more than happy to provide those. Thanks!!
**XIB's I'm using ---- whenever I try to link a button to a view controller (in a .storyboard file) it won't link. I two finger click (right click) and drag, usually, the view controller I want to link will be highlighted in blue, and then I am able to just tap it in the Sim., and it will do a quick animation to the next VC. But it the VC I'm trying to link it doesn't even get highlighted. Once again, I'm running Xcode 4.6.3. Thanks again!!
The picture in your comment says that it crashes when trying to set a key (admissionsButton) for your ViewController object that doesn't exist. This could happen if you deleted a property in code but the IB link still remained. If you open up IB and go to your view controller, expand the utilities window (the right sidebar) and then go to the far right option that shows connections. If there is something there that says admissionsButton, try deleting it.
In order to give you more help than that, I would need to see a more detailed log of where the crash happens.
That message could be for anything during the execution of your code. I would use breakpoints from the moment of launch and step through it using the debugger window.
Every time I set a breakpoint, Xcode 3.2.5 throws in a big blue message bubble taking up two lines of code and disrupting my code structure. It is so annoying. I always have to click on the breakpoint and choose "Hide message bubble".
Is this a bug or can I do a preference somewhere to avoid them?
Yes I know there is Xcode 4. I want to use Xcode 3.2.5 for this project I am working on.
To do this, just open the Debugger window by pressing Command+Shift+Y.
Right click anywhere in the code window and go to Message Bubbles > Hide Breakpoints.
Image is attached. :)
Xcode seems to be doing something annoying today.
I like editing my source code so that I'm typing roughly in the vertical center of my Xcode window. I don't like typing near the bottom or the top of the window as it hides code right before or right after the code I'm busy editing.
Lately, while editing an implementation file, Xcode has a habit of scrolling the text so that I'm editing close to the bottom of the window. This scrolling is triggered every time any code completion takes place.
Has anyone seen this before? If so, how can I turn it off or is it simply a bug?
You may be encountering a bug where one text view scrolls unexpectedly when a second window is open on the same file. Make sure that the file is not open in any other windows if this is what's happening.
I also noticed this in Xcode 5 and earlier. It appears that Apple has fixed this in Xcode 6. I am running Xcode 6.4 and no longer see the issue.
