You either don't know what a release is or you're using a pre-release version to confirm your preconceived idea that 10.9.0 will be "pure garbage". This is completely baseless and one of the problems NDAs address. And I really don't see where at least the first versions of the last three OS X releases were "pure garbage". (I haven't used any earlier ones.) To me that would mean that they'd have major showstopper bugs, lack major functionality or similar. None of which was the case for most users. (Yes, any given version of any OS has some bugs, but that's not what you're on about.) Mr. Smile Face Hat fucked around with this message at 10:56 on Jun 26, 2013 |

Your comments have me wondering -- if he posts his Apple ID and screen shots what are you planning to do? In your NDA agreement that you got with your "Developer" account does it explicitly say in there to be a loving baby and report anyone you suspect to be violating it? Let's also take for a moment that he's obtained his copy illegally, which you accused him of in your alternative to breaking NDA statement. Hasn't he already taken the time to give Apple his ID, screen shots, system logs and all other relevant information in order to open the bug? Yeah, probably. Since we're making lots of assumptions I'm going to make one. You haven't even read the entire NDA.

I need some advice guys! This week-end I'm in charge of music for a party my company is holding. I'm going to bring my mac as well as my sound system and I wanted a simple app to work as a jukebox, in that my complete library would be there then people could add songs they like to be played next. I'd like something very simple so that no one goes and fucks up my mac. Something like http://www.silverjuke.com/ but free, if that exists somewhere? Anyone has any clue? EDIT: Well I'm using the Silverjuke demo currently and there seem to be no limitations so I'll probably go with that. However if anyone knows a free solution I'd rather have that.

Why not just use iTunes and the "Up Next" feature? You can even control it via an iPhone/iPad, and add music that way too.

Here's a random question that may or may not be due to hardware. I have a mid-2012 MacBook Pro and a Mid 2007 (GMA 950) White MacBook. The MacBook Pro is running 10.8 and the MacBook is running 10.7. When I shut them down at night, the MacBook Pro takes a significantly longer time to shutdown, while the MacBook is near instant. Is this normal with 10.8 or is there something I'm missing? The only extra menu items and apps I would be running are Evernote and Dropbox. Even shutting them down individually results in a longer shutdown screen.

Star War Sex Parrot posted:10.8 broke shutdown time in a spectacular way. It's a frequently reported issue. I would concur with this. My iMac came with 10.8.2 and the Fusion drive. Shutdown and restart was pretty much instant. 10.8.3 and 10.8.4 are much slower to restart and shutdown. I'm hearing good things about 10.9 though. I did a fresh install of 10.8.4 last night, which made absolutely zero difference.

I have a huge network of Macs with ssh/Remote Desktop enabled. I also have a file server that I finished setting up. I want to make it so that EVERY computer on the network automatically mounts the shared folder on the server and has a shortcut on the desktop. What's the easiest way to do this?

After mounting the drive on each mac, go to Preferences > Users & Groups > Login Items and drag the mounts there, and it'll automatically reconnect on login.

Pretty sure you can AppleScript that. Are all your macs connected to a Mac server? If not you'd have to mass-email the script then have people click on it I reckon.

tarepanda posted:That's not the problem -- I'm looking for an easier way to set all of them. You should be able to do this with AppleScript or possibly Automator. I'd build in two checks--check to see if the drive's mounted already and mount it if not, then check login items for the network drive mount and add it if it's not there. After a little poking, I found this which generally deals with the same stuff. You should be able to tailor it to your needs. All of the functions you'll need are there, it'll just be a matter of picking apart the pieces and arranging them in the proper if statements. http://macstuff.beachdogs.org/blog/?p=30

Gnomedolf posted:I use an app called Drive Mounter to do it. Works great. Again, the issue isn't the actual mounting and shortcutting, but running it on a bunch of physically separate machines with a minimum of hassle. I phrased it badly last night when I posted -- I've been pulling 13+ hour days all week long. Basically we have 300ish computers that I need to do this to and I'd rather not be running around four separate buildings for a day to do it.

If you have Lion server or better, you should be able to configure it via that and push it out to everything. There's probably some other ways to do it, too, but I remember being able to specify shares when creating policies for mac users.

Hey guys, I'm in the market for a new laptop and I'm seriously looking at the 2013 13.3" MacBook Air. I'm a Windows user but the laptop's role is basically to take notes, write some stuff, maybe draw a few pictures and browse the web. Nothing strenuous. My only apprehensions is that being a Windows user I'm pretty integrated with Google stuffs. How is Firefox for Mac? Speed is not really an issue (I don't care if it's 15ms slower or whatever) but all my bookmarks are synced to it and I'd like to keep it that way. Options for opening and editing .docx files? I do a lot of writing of my desktop but I like to take my notes with me (RPG game notes usually) so being able to edit .docx files on the go would be nice. I'm pretty sure that's it. I hate iTunes but I don't listen to music or films on laptops anyway so that's a non-issue. I'll probably Boot Camp for the occasional Windows game. Is there anything else I should know going from Windows to OS X? Edit: I just noticed the OP is actually laid out  But my questions aren't really covered I guess.

syntaxfunction posted:How is Firefox for Mac? Speed is not really an issue (I don't care if it's 15ms slower or whatever) but all my bookmarks are synced to it and I'd like to keep it that way. It's less popular than Webkit browsers (Chrome and Safari) among Mac users because its UI feels a bit out of place on OS X, but that's not really a big deal, if it's your favoured browser you'll probably find it fine. syntaxfunction posted:
If the files are super basic, TextEdit (which is like Wordpad) will handle them decently them for free. Beyond that and ignoring free office suites, it's Word or Pages. Word is vaguely lovely (ugly UI, slow to start up, etc) but it works perfectly fine. Pages is a really good app, but for some unfathomable reason won't save to .docx. It opens .docx files fine, it exports to .doc fine, but it cannot save a .docx. If you don't mind switching to .doc or .pages, I'd buy Pages. If you need 100% compatibility with Office files, I'd buy Word, but it's not an enormously pleasant app to use.

Everything lua said is accurate about Word etc, but I thought I'd chip in a recommendation: unless you're actually laying out text on paper, you might consider migrating off Word to a better tool, whether on OS X or Windows. Word is a pretty lovely tool for writing compared to something a bit more lightweight and web-suitable.

I just switched to a MacBook myself. Overall I'm very pleased with the switch. If you've got a Windows license and an Office for Windows license already available (which it sounds like you do), then buy Parallels. It is very impressive. Basically you'll be running the Windows version of Office off a Windows VM perfectly alongside the regular OS X software. BTW I'm also running Firefox and it's just fine. There is even a Stylish theme to make the UI look like Safari.

As a Frontend Developer / Interaction Designer, I spend most of my time in browsers, and this is how I feel the current state of performance is for each browser on my 2012 Retina 15" MBP 1.) Safari is the fastest browser in terms of performance, scrolling is really fast on it. This is the most apparent when I'm browsing on Tumblr, or anything with infinite scroll. It seems to handle Javascript really efficiently in regards to performance. 2.) Chrome is awesome its second in line when it comes to performance, It can get a little lovely when doing infinite scroll or some heavy content websites, but it gets there. Scrolling seems smooth unless the content is still sideloading. 3.) Firefox is a joke, the javascript engine is just slow, and the performance of the browser is terrible... Only thing I open Firefox for is to test Firefox specific CSS on it... Now that's anecdotal yes, however I use Chrome 99% of the time, with Safari being the browser I use when I need to log into a website that uses Java (no java plugin for Chrome yet) If Safari had a inbuilt translator like Chrome did, I would switch in a heartbeat. Finally (little off topic) as a developer, Chrome's inspection tool is the best, followed by Firefox's.. Safari's is ok too, but since it's a webkit browser there really isn't a specific need in 99% of the cases to do any inspection tool work in safari, over chrome. (There are some edge cases) All chrome needs is a mac java plugin, and to make scrolling smoother on content heavy pages that employ any kind of javascript to manipulate the DOM, such as infinite scroll.

All Chrome, 'The World's Most loving Advanced Browser,' has to do is come out in a 64-bit version on OS X for Java to work. At the moment, you can either blame Oracle for only deciding to make a 64-bit version of Java on OS X, or you could blame Google for not doing anything for almost five years about making Chrome 64-bit. You can technically dumb yourself down and run Java 6 which comes in 32- bit and 64-bit on OS X (because Apple was maintaining it up until last year or so) but it'd be a security nightmare. You'd think with their massive development power, they could get around to doing this but maybe it's because they put Vince Vaughn in charge of 64-bit development (yes, I saw the movie The Internship). Or more likely it's politically motivated, why make stuff running on a competitor's platform better? Even Firefox runs in 64-bit on the Mac and that's open source, its what people use if Safari shits on a particular Java app.

In certain sectors, like banking, engineering, and science you sure as hell aren't going to get rid of it. Also, try running the latest PhotoShop or Norton/Symantec AntiVirus- when you first install them in OS X now, they ask you to install a Java runtime if you haven't already. I'd love to handwave it away too, but there's a large business behind Java, not just Oracle.

With a slight help from me, she is now flying along and really likes it, more so than her net book that this replaced. It was my foray into a different OS as well and I had no troubles getting used to it. It's a little daunting at first but there are so many guides on the net that your only a search away if you get stuck. I guess what I'm saying is do it, you won't regret it. 10+ hours on a single charge is amazing.
