How do you create a .cur (for a mouse cursor), from a GIF image file?
What tool or process can I use?
You need to use a cursor creator, which is pretty much just a bitmap with some header data. I'd use Irfanview if you do not use Visual Studio or what not. If you use Visual Studio, just create a new cursor, and copy and paste the image data right into the editor... I'm sure I could whip up a tool that does this for you on a file basis, but I'm sure they are many tools out there already.
IconStudio is able to aquire from other images.
I just found a reference to a new tool called IconWorkshop lite which is a plugin for Visual Studio. I thought of this question and figured I'd leave the link here for posterity. I don't know for sure if it will do the job asked in the question...

You could also convert it into a .ico which is more common and rename it with the .cur extension.

I have tried several different font style setting in vs2008 so that I can easily distinguish between parenthesis and brackets. { ( ) } .
I have not found a font that is good at parenthesis and brackets but also comfortable to look at all day.
Lucida Console is what I have settled on for now, but can anyone recommend one that they think is easier on the eyes?
(To change the setting, go to tools->options-> environment-> fonts and colors . see stackoverflow:
Change font size and style in Visual Studio 2008)
If you want a font that it nice to read, you shouldn't limit yourself to monospaced fonts.
Personally I use Verdana at the moment.
If you are using VS 2012, you can use open type fonts (more fonts):
Try Inconsolata: http://levien.com/type/myfonts/inconsolata.html
Download: http://www.google.com/webfonts/download?kit=CNj0Ze1H6w4FVgc32wmZS4fD-WQWLbF4rYwcBGowFYY
Another one to try is Droid Sans Mono http://www.fontsquirrel.com/fonts/Droid-Sans-Mono

Update 1:
Also try the ones in http://damieng.com/blog/tag/coding-fonts
especially Envy Code R http://damieng.com/blog/2008/05/26/envy-code-r-preview-7-coding-font-released

I am trying to find a way to more easily see the contents of my Core Data database. Are there any tutorials out there?
I can always write some code to go into my app to loop through all the entities, but I was wondering if there was an actual tool available to do this.
You Can read directly the CoreData sqlite database file using a sqlite viewer.
There are some options for free but of very low quality.
I personally have use navicat premium.
Once you have opened the tools you need to load the sqlite db file and just navigate it.
You can access the dbfile on the Simulator finding the app working directory or on the device exporting the document application path using Xcode.
Hope this helps.

Is this the right place for this Question?
May someone please recommend a text editor like notepad++ for Mac. I trolled through the net and cant seem to find anything close or anything that's free.
I have been using Notepad++ for a while but have recently made an enviornment change to OSX to understand and learn more about other platforms.
If you want free, you can download XCode from Apple for free. It's quite a power IDE, so if you're only after a text editor, it may be too much.
I use TextMate. There's a 30 day trial if you just want to check it out. It's not free but you get what you pay for.

I have an iOS project in which there will be >100 targets created from the same code base. The targets have many similar characteristics, but different info.plist, Default.png files, etc...
I'm considering generating (or mutating) the project file programmatically. Since project file formats are versioned, I should be safe in the short term. Longer term this might not be the most ideal solution though. I'm also looking at scripting Xcode with applescript. It seems like there is a robust dictionary with target objects.
I'm looking for some input on a good approach to managing this. Anyone with experience doing this like to make a recommendation?
UPDATE: I ended up using applescript to script Xcode. This worked great, until XC4 broke everything...

Does anyone have any recommendations of tools that can be of assistance with moving literal values into resource files for localization?
I've used a resharper plugin called RGreatX but was wondering if there is anything else out there.
It's one heck of a long manual process for moving the strings across and think there must be a better way! RGreatX is OK but could be a bit slicker I feel.
Here's one:
http://www.codeplex.com/ResourceRefactoring
It'a actually a Microsoft "open source" Visual Studio(2005 and up) tool that integrates with the IDE. You can easily replace every occurence of a string with a ressource reference with a few clicks.
You may find Zeta Resource Editor useful too.
ReSharper itself (5.0+) now has support for localization which includes moving strings to resource files and highlighting localizabile strings.
Try Visual Localizer - you can batch-process whole code, select which strings may be localized and the tool will add them to a resource file and create a reference instead. Many other features easing localization are included.
