House Louse posted:It's definitely compatible, problem is, will it kill the performance? I bought around 20 or so of those models and put 10.9 on them last year. They were fine with 4GB and an SSD to play Youtube videos and use our common apps like Word, SPSS, etc. This is with reducing the transparency. I don't work at the place I purchased them for anymore, so I never moved them to 10.10; however, I can vouch for 10.9 being just fine on them (I imagine the SSD is the important thing as those 5400 drives suck out the box in new machines even).

Is there any way to disable OS X killing Wi-Fi when it "detects" that it may be compromised? It frequently (and only ever) happens to me while I'm streaming video and sometimes it kills my Wi-Fi for a couple of minutes and sometimes it doesn't. I'm pretty sure my Wi-Fi isn't being hacked.

Yeah I was curious to know what's going on here and how OS X is detecting this because I've never seen this feature before. Looking around online it seems like it's a TKIP integrity failure. You should actually disable TKIP on your router if you control it because there are now practical attacks on TKIP. It's probably just from the traffic volume and a bad signal. Forcing AES might solve this.

On the admin page for the router, go to the wireless tab. From there, pick WPA2 personal for the security mode, then pick AES for encryption. Found this on page 15 of the manual if you have that.

I can't seem to find the encryption option anywhere, but I did change the security mode to WPA2 personal, and thinking on it now (having read about various Wi-Fi issues in general) I've actually been meaning to do that for a good while now. I feel that might go a long way to help on its own.

Giving aTank a whirl for simple (and Cheapish $4.99) text expansion. Is there no FOSS tex expander for Mac? I don't need extended capabilities like forms and scripts. I need something that will correct double capitals, words I constantly misspell, and some terminals commands I have to repeatedly type. (aText made six corrections in that last sentence alone!!)

I'm so pissed off. I'm about to go on a long drive so I added two albums to iTunes to listen to which I put into two playlists. I sync my phone and check it, but all my playlists are missing. So I sync it again and now all the music on my iPhone has been wiped for no reason and now I can't leave until it syncs 5,000 songs. Man, gently caress Apple sometimes. ![]() Edit: I think the problem was that iCloud re-enabled itself somehow and that's what broke everything. Now I have to remember to check that poo poo is disabled before I sync I guess. Fanatic fucked around with this message at 03:12 on Aug 1, 2015 |

oversteer posted:Any recommendations for software that will do full/incremental backups - Alternatively there's Arq, but I don't think you want that cause it backs up into an archival form, i.e. kinda pointless with your use of upping it to Crashplan, like uploading your Time Machine backups. But speaking of Arq, it now supports Amazon's cloud storage, which is $60/year for unlimited space. I've been thinking about Backblaze or Crashplan but Amazon's cloud makes Arq a competitive option. Plus you can use it for whatever other storage too instead of just backups. Anyone have experience with Amazon's storage in OS X and/or iOS? kapalama posted:Giving aTank a whirl for simple (and Cheapish $4.99) text expansion. ![]()

Plug in an external keyboard and mouse, and close the lid right after you hit the power button. At least that used to work.

kapalama posted:Yes, I just ran into that. Does it work to do corrections And yeah it does expansions, I have a bunch of shorter ones but I just copied your post and tested it out with your name as the shortcut, worked fine. I wasn't sure of it working with multiple lines before since on regular entry hitting return saves the shortcut, but it looks like copy/pasting it in works around that. One caveat (if it even counts) is there's no spaces allowed, which makes sense cause space/return/tab triggers the expansion.

japtor posted:The standard spell correction seems to handle like and These fine (just typed those here how you typed it there). Although typing three caps in seems to override it like THIs. The NFL etc. are the reason for not correcting the triple. aText also allows US and the like by default. You have saved me money. Nice feature there. I had (I think) TypeIt4Me for System 7 back in the '60's. Apple always makes these little things part of the system which is cool for us, but frustrating for the developers, I imagine. I always wonder what Watson would have become by now, had Apple not just stolen the idea (and then abandoned it). That was a cool program. kapalama fucked around with this message at 08:45 on Aug 2, 2015 |

I've always wondered why time travelers aren't using tech from the pinnacle of human civilization. I mean, why bring System 7 back to the 60's when you have access to OS X Los Angeles River (10.25.2, released just before the zombie plague).

I'm having an issue and I cannot tell if it is El Capitan specific because others experienced it on Yosemite. Every day after the Mac Mini has been idle for an hour or so, nsurlstoraged has to be force quit from the Activity Monitor. It takes up 186% of the CPU and if I don't force quit, eventually OS X will just reboot. Searching through everything on google pointed to deleting ~/Library/Caches/Safari and even the whole ~/Library/Caches contents. I did this, to no avail, the problem persists. Another Google post mentioned its a "MacKeeper" trojan. Scanned with Avast and found nothing. Has anyone experienced this that can offer me help? My last resort is to format and reinstall El Capitan.

Maybe they think the former would be better equipped for the other technology of the day. Tech is a system after all; you can send an iPhone to the 1880s but it won't do much without the supporting infrastructure.

There's also info about removing the "VSearch" malware that can do the same thing. https://discussions.apple.com/thread/6648836

Actually other than recharging it, the iPhone is one piece of tech that would be pretty dang useful in any time. OTOH I am trying to imagine just how useless any operating system would be out of time. The amazing slowness and typing lag of simply running OS X on computer that ran OS 9 blazingly fast was the first round of teaching me why updating is a bad idea in a machine used for production of anything. In this very thread, there was a person wondering about whether a pretty dang fast computer from 6 years ago would be usable if updated to 10.10, and the general consensus was that yes but only massaged just right.

I tried installing this driver to get my 360 controller working on my 2011 MacBook Pro (2.3ghz i5, 10.10.4) and after working the first time after plugging the controller in, it's now non responsive when plugged in (though it shows up in the control panel) and when I unplug it, the computer goes into a hard reboot. I've got no idea how to troubleshoot this or uninstall the driver; anyone dealt with this by chance? http://www.tattiebogle.net/index.php/ProjectRoot/Xbox360Controller/OsxDriver

Grab an updated version from here, it's what I use and it works perfectly. https://github.com/d235j/360Controller/releases I think you can just install this version over the older one and it will work, but I don't remember with 100% certainty.

Man so I switched cold turkey back to Safari a few months ago and it's been 99% fine. One bug that I'm seeing is that when I hit the back button or swipe back, sometimes it'll go back to just a blank white page. Is this widespread? It's not TERRIBLY annoying since cmd-R will fix it but sometimes I'm just like ![]()
