Feenix posted:The strangest thing has occurred since installing Mountain Lion. Things like SickBeard and Transmission will occasionally (not always,) stop working. Sickbeard stops responding and Transmission will tell me an IP:port is blocked. A reboot fixes it. It's just peculiar. Never had one lick of problems with either until the day I got Mountain Lion. I cannot fathom what got changed. If anyone has any ideas, I'm all ears!

You do know you can put the mouse cursor up near the top and pull down a menu that includes a choice to display the Install Log window, right? Select it to display the Install Log and set it to Show All instead of Show All errors and then you can see where the install is failing. You can even do this after the Mac reboots to finish the install. If you wait for the end it'll even tell you how long it took to do the install in seconds. The same thing works in regular Lion during install as well.

I've just noticed that [in ML] airplay devices now show up in the sound control panel as an output device, though it doesn't let me select my airport express. Airfoil still has use!

Any idea how ML performs on a Unibody Macbook (C2D 2.0GHz, NVIDIA 9400M, 4GB)? I'm getting one in a few days and I'm not sure if I should run Snow Leopard, Lion, or ML (when it's released). I have a 64GB Kingston SSD that I'm not using right now, but if a Samsung 830 goes on sale this week I'll pick up a 128GB.

Only issue I've found is that apart from QuickTime Player, video playback on most apps isn't assisted by the 9400M very well, those 3rd party apps need to be updated for ML. As SWSP said, if you're running mission critical stuff wait for ML-specific apps.

I probably will try to just stick it out with Lion for a while, I probably won't upgrade my 2011 Air either - at least until I'm forced to for some weird reason.

I think this is the appropriate thread for this question. I am planning on upgrading the hard drive in my 2010 MBP. My plan is to grab a Ubuntu Live CD and use dd to move my data to the new drive. Are there any gotchas that I need to lookout for?

I have a mid 2008 Macbook on which I have put Lion (maybe a bad idea?). I used to use it with Leopard to run XBMC, but now I've got Lion on it, 720p x264 videos (in box XBMC and Movist) will occasionally stop the sound for a second - as though it's been playing the sound too fast and the video has the catch up. I've looked in activity monitor and nothing's using up the resources too much that I can tell, is this just a case of it not being able to cope with Lion?

How can I replicate this Windows workflow on my new MacBook Air: 1. Manage ID3 tags for FLAC files (Mp3tag in Windows) 2. Convert FLAC files to MP3 V0 using LAME (foobar2000) 3. Manage ID3 tags for MP3 V0 (Mp3tag again) Thanks for the suggestions!

I've never found a tag manager I like much, but for converting from lossless to whatever, XLD is amazing.

From the iPhone thread:Star War Sex Parrot posted:The most notable inclusion of this beta is being able to send/receive iMessages on your iPad with your iPhone # as caller ID. Can you tie iMessages in ML to a phone number now too? I think I remember they said they were unifying it so that would be cool (except I have no one to iMessage with, because all of my friends prefer Android  ).

pretty specific question but does anyone here have any experience with installing Windows 7 via USB drive through boot camp in 10.7.4 on a MBP model with an optical drive? I've tried just about every method that I've seen suggested online and the only conclusion I've reached is that I seem to be poo poo out of luck. my superdrive is broken and doesn't accept discs so I can't just burn a DVD, and I can't get booting from USB to work. I've tried setting up the flash drive both through the Boot Camp Assistant, the official Windows 7 USB tool through VMware, and through Disk Utility and no dice. I just want to play my Steam games

I had the same experience too but with a MacBook. I gave up. The fake BIOS on those Macs doesn't support USB booting. There was something called Winclone that if I had another Mac I would try to use but that has gone to a paid version.

Pissingintowind posted:How can I replicate this Windows workflow on my new MacBook Air: I'll echo everything above, and say I haven't found a great tagging solution. I dropped some cash on Media Rage a while ago, but its interface ended up annoying me. It does do a good job of using regular expressions to tag music based on filenames, or rename files based on metadata. If I have a whole album with messed up tags, I've found MusicBrainz Picard, to do a good job of doing everything automatically. Most of the time, for small changes, I'll just use iTunes, and then when I'm done I'll right click on the songs with edited metadata and do "convert ID3 tags" to save the changes to the files, and not just iTunes' internal database. As for conversion of FLAC to MP3 V0, I'll also second XLD, which is amazing.

Quick question regarding time machine backups. I recently purchased a MacBook Air 2012 and have set it up with programs and settings as I require. If I back this computer up with time machine, then overwrite my old MacBook Pro 2010, will I run into any issues with licensing? Microsoft Office 2011 and the newer suite of iLife are a few grey areas I'm not sure about. There are a couple of system bound applications (Ableton Live and Maple 15) that I look to install on the old MacBook Pro 2010. Will there be any headaches with licensing on this machine when using a time machine backup from the MacBook Air 2012? Coming from a traditional Microsoft Windows background, this process seems rather inconvenient for OSX developers who look to keep a firm grip on licensing.

The hardware change will certainly cause Office to prompt for a registration key. Not sure about the others.

The problem is the windows installer is a complete bitch to get onto a USB drive due to bootloader issues. Not so much an issue in windows because there's a number of tools which do this all for you (WintoFlash springs to mind), but a bit of a bugger in OS X.

Tried on Evernote, Alfred and Mozy Menu extras are from (unsurprisingly) .menuextra files, and are things like Wi-Fi, Sound, Time Machine, etc. Those can be command-dragged off of the menu bar. Apps cannot be dragged off (unless they use a .menuextra to put themselves there). Most of the time, as Gordon Cole said, there's a setting to remove the icon in the app's preferences.

I've never had a problem installing Windows from USB, either on an old Mac Mini, a 2010 Air, or the 2012 rMBP. I just make a USB drive prepped with the Windows USB tool from a Windows ISO file and then it's off to the races.
