comment Compiling a code in TeXnicCenter produces an empty PDF without any warning and error
If it reads 0 pages, but you still have a PDF, you're looking at the old PDF. See if the simplest possible document builds first. If it does, start cutting down your document until you have the smallest possible document that fails to build. If the simplest possible document fails, then you may want to reinstall TxC entirely.

comment how can I Cite the DSM if BibDesk does not allow for the proper format?
The DSM (any edition) is a book. Western Washington University's library has some information on how the final result should look in APA format. You can probably figure out the BibTeX fields from there. Otherwise, a MWE including your BibTeX style would be helpful for further answers.

comment Missing Font in Apache
How are TeX and the fonts installed on this system? Distribution-maintained packages, installing TeX Live from upstream media, or what? I suspect you have at least a few things installed in your account that aren't available to other users, including the Apache user.

comment beamer header takes too much space
I ran into a similar issue, and ended up restructuring my presentation slightly. Instead of eight sections (in one implicit part), I made two parts, one with six sections, and the other with two.

comment How to make sure that a source file is in UNIX mode?
Notepad++ can handle that. Both an indicator in the status bar, and a set of menus under Edit / EOL Conversion

comment Most efficient method to strip all of the LaTeX code from a document?
I'd definitely start with pdftotext. You won't run into OCR problems when you have a "regular" non-scanned PDF like pdftex and friends produce.

comment pdflatex renders files differently from a strings — example provided
Try single quotes instead of double. Some of your $ characters are being interpreted as the start of shell variables.

comment texlatexmk and mVersion problem
See if you can adapt John Collins' answer to this question. Looks like the same basic problem. Alternatively, if you don't need a numeric version number, would a date/time stamp on the page suffice?

Along the lines of pgfplotstable: importing csv table.
