Xabi posted:Yes, I'm just surprised at how easy it seems to be. I was expecting some hellish operation. Make sure that if you copy them to your main HD and then add them, you don't end up with two copies. By default the 'copy to itunes media folder when importing to library' is checked, so you'll end up with a second copy. When I first got my Mac I was wondering where all my HD space went, but I still had a 'music' folder on my desktop. That's where I was used to playing my music from on Linux/PC, and didn't realize there was a second copy of everything in the iTunes library folders.

IS anyone having difficulties with the wireless syncing? My iPad syncs wirelessly fine, and up until about a week ago so did my 4S. Now my 4S won't sync wirelessly on a consistent basis. It worked once earlier today but that's it. Either the phone can't see my Macbook Air or it will show up in iTunes and say "waiting for sync to start" and then time out. I've restored from an earlier time machine backup, rebooted my router, and restored my phone from an earlier iCloud backup from when I know everything worked. Any suggestions? My iPad 2 syncs flawlessly still.

Right click a song in iTunes and click "Show in Finder" just to make sure it copied over the songs onto the iTunes music folder. Then delete the mp3 folder. When you initially added the songs to iTunes did they show up instantly or did it take a while to process through them?

Thanks. iTunes makes me nervous, I'm constantly afraid of deleting something by mistake. I ended up with a million different playlists when I copied my music over. Do I delete my songs as well if I delete the playlists?

The playlists won't touch any files. You can get rid of them.

Even if you delete a song, it'll ask you first. Then it'll ask you if you want to move it to the Trash/Recycling Bin. So even if you mash through and hit yes to those both, it's not off your computer still.

Anyone know of a program that lives in the menu that shows which number desktop space you're currently on? I've gotten used to most of the Spaces changes that Apple made in Lion, but I really miss this small detail. The only workaround I've seen mentioned is to Photoshop the number or an identifier on the desktop background image, but I like to change my backgrounds fairly often so that's not great solution.

Can anyone comment on upgrading an 11" Macbook Air to Lion? I have the 2GB/64GB model, 1.4GHz. I need to upgrade to Lion, because even though you can run Xcode 4 on Snow Leopard you can't do development with ARC.

I know the standard line is, "if you're editing video, get a macbook pro," but I'm trying to squeeze one more year out of my 2008 macbook (Intel Core 2 Duo 2.4 Ghz, 4 gig ram) but I am getting to the point in my minor where I have to start using Final Cut Pro. I'm using FCP 7 this year and our projects are mainly consisting of stills, am I going to be ok? Next semester I am going to have to ramp up what I do, but I also get more school money next year so kind of would rather wait than eat only ramen this semester.

FCP 7 came out in 2009, you should be OK. Edit wait: macbook non pro. You might be OK. Try it and if it's unbearable, then upgrade.

This is normal. The power management isn't as smart in Windows. If you have a 15 or 17-inch, the dedicated GPU will be forced on in Windows at all times as well (thanks for that one Apple.)

It gets even worse if you dare run a game or anything particularly intensive. I once had the thing power itself off (or suspend itself, I forget) after 20 minutes of Mafia II. I installed some fan control, so I'm seeing how well that works with a higher base RPM. The main thing that helps is to use it on something hard, like a desk or a box or something. I've just left it on my bed and that certainly doesn't help the heat build up. But yeah, that's normal – I'm pretty sure my 2006 MBP was just as bad, if not worse.

I use a cooling pad when gaming, otherwise the GPU starts throttling itself, I think.

Lazyhound posted:I use a cooling pad when gaming, otherwise the GPU starts throttling itself, I think. To get decent performance out of the NVidia 9400M in my Macbook Pro, I had to set "Power Management Mode" to "Prefer maximum performance" instead of "Adaptive" under the NVidia control panel. It would throttle the card even when the laptop wasn't hot.

Once again: "Why should Apple provide the same level of support to a competing OS as its own?" Also there's probably other poo poo like Microsoft not providing access to the power management APIs or it being done in a different manner than Apples. Apple would probably shoot down anyone trying to provide this level of functionality to boot.

I used to have a Microsoft-branded one that came with a copy of Streets and Trips (for Windows), and found some drivers on SourceForge but they quit getting updated somewhere in the 10.5 days.

So is there any particular reason why half the time I fullscreen a video using Quicktime, I get logged out of OSX? It's getting pretty old pretty fast, and when it happened just now, the login screen wouldn't respond to mouse clicks or key presses. I remember this happening in Snow Leopard as well but not quite as frequently. Edit: Okay, some more interesting stuff is going on. First, my WiFi got all screwy once I restarted, but I managed to sort that out (by doing the trick with Key Manager), and now no external drives show up on the Desktop (though they do on Finder's side panel thing). Not only that, once I dismounted my main external and plugged it back in, not only will it not show up on the desktop, it's greyed out on Finder's side panel and I can't interact with it in any way. My iPod or any other drives won't show up on the desktop, either. Edit 2: The drive shows up on Disk Utility, though I didn't try anything from there yet. The only way to access the drive's contents is to search a folder with Alfred (presumably Spotlight works too) and open it, at which point the folder opens up in Finder and I'm able to browse the drive's contents. I realize that this might be a hardware issue, but it's pretty clear the whole thing started with the Quicktime force-logout. Stare-Out fucked around with this message at 18:03 on Jan 16, 2012 |

Stare-Out posted:So is there any particular reason why half the time I fullscreen a video using Quicktime, I get logged out of OSX? Force-logout happens when one of the processes in charge of your user session crashes. Most likely it's windowserver or launchd or something like that. Check Console.app for user and system diagnostic reports, and see what process has crash logs corresponding to force-logouts. You can post them here if you want us to try to diagnose them for you. Are you fully updated? Are you running any sort of graphics modifying app like gfxCardStatus? Your other problems sound weird, maybe a Genius Bar trip is in order. Do you have any weird apps installed which mess with the Finder? Crash logs for anything would be informative. FYI there is a Finder preference to not show drives on the desktop, but I assume you didn't set it otherwise you'd know about it.

But from scouring the log it seems that yeah, it was windowserver that snuffed it. I'm fully updated with 10.7.2, newest Quicktime, the works. I have no mods or the like running, save for Perian and that's only for Quicktime obviously. I do use TotalFinder but even after turning it off the drive showed up greyed out. Thanks for the help though, I'm starting to feel like I should take this thing to a Genius Bar anyway just to see if everything's alright.

What's the best way to watch movie files stored on one Mac on another (on the same WiFi network)? It always feels like way more hassle than it should to connect to the other using AFP or SMB, find the file, and eventually watch using VLC. It seems like the time taken is measured in minutes, whereas it ought to take seconds. The comparison is especially stark if you compare the above to the AirVideo workflow of OS X -> iOS. Is there anything similar for OS X, or even just a more robust file sharing method to use?
