I use Tweetbot now with the alpha, but it doesn't sync with TweetMarker for some reason. Was hoping that since Apple is all about iCloud and syncing between devices, they would realize syncing twitter feeds might be something smart.

Echofon also syncs your read tweets between mobile and computer, and you can get it for free if you don't mind ads. Also, I guess my CNN experience was just some weird nonsense. So has anyone had any remarkable bugs like at the Lion release, or is this update fine?

Well, my Time Machine is still set to "preparing backup" and it didn't let me login when I woke it up from sleep so I had to restart but I'm still going to lay the blame on some of that on Spotlight still indexing everything (3 days to go!).

What the heck is this Game Center thing? Is it supposed to work even a little bit? I put in my Apple ID and password, and it pops up a blank dialog with only a "Cancel" option. I close it, retype my password, and now when I click login it just doesn't do anything. I think the blank dialog is supposed to pop up a EULA or something, but it doesn't.

Messages will be a really fantastic app some day. Until then, they have a shitload of work to do. Whenever it decides to switch protocols, it gives my contacts a different icon -- which should be unified in the Address Book (Yes, now Contacts, I know) -- making it seem like I'm having this schizophrenic conversation between two or three different people instead of the one person I'm just trying to have a conversation with. When I want to share something from Safari or Preview, why can't it highlight for me the protocol I'm currently using to talk to that person? Why do some messages occasionally go to my iPad, which I have never used Messages on?

When using the share sheet, if you start typing the name of the person, it'll let you choose which address you send to and it does show the protocol. I'm guessing the contact icon thing is because people on some services like google talk, AIM, YAHOO etc can SET their contact icon and that might be different than what's in your address book.

It's frustrating that I can't just tie my phone number to it so that when I send a message to someone that hasn't got my email address they don't get all pissed off and confused as to why there's suddenly two conversations

Alfalfa posted:Appreciate it. I use Tweetbot now with the alpha, but it doesn't sync with TweetMarker for some reason. It seems like at this point in the Alpha it only syncs when you first launch the app, but even that's not totally dependable yet. This is still alpha software though, so I wouldn't worry about it yet. If you need something that works right now, Osfoora is pretty good and it syncs with TweetMarker. quote:Was hoping that since Apple is all about iCloud and syncing between devices, they would realize syncing twitter feeds might be something smart. I'm sure someone at Apple realizes this, but there's not much they can do since they don't make any Twitter apps.

I'm having a problem with iCloud tabs. On my MacBook Air, I installed a new SSD, installed Lion, bought the upgrade to Mountain Lion and upgraded. Then I did a restore through internet recovery pretty much just to see if I would have to install Lion and upgrade again if I wanted to restore. Anyways, now that previous installation of Mountain Lion is showing up in my iCloud tabs and I have no idea how to remove it. Anyone have any ideas? Edit: Should have Googled before. Gotta wait 7 days for it to expire for those who are also curious. birds fucked around with this message at 17:18 on Jul 26, 2012 |

Sent from my iPad posted:Nope. Welcome to the joy that is Apple web services. I wouldn't. I would always encourage people to use Google's services - my free Gmail has been fine since the day I got it, where as the apple services have gone down several times and transitioned through several iterations, each incompatible with the previous. One good thing from ML - Skype now no longer require the discreet graphics even when it is not on a call - it now uses integrated and kicks it up to discreet only when in a call. This means one less thing for GFX status to deal with and I no longer need to explain to my friends why their brand new MBP only gets 3 hours battery rather than 7

The focus groups no longer target tech savvy people, and this is due to more and more nontechnical people buying computers. I can't remember where Siracusa made a similar point in that lengthy review. Jony posted:We don’t do focus groups — that is the job of the designer.

In Messages, you can select a person, then "Show Info". Under the "Address Card" tab, there's a preference "Always use this picture". That will tell Messages to always use that Contacts photo instead of whichever avatar the person has set for the particular protocol. Unfortunately it looks like that needs to be set per-person.
