Kobayashi posted:Is there any way to stop all traffic until a VPN connection is established? For example, say I get out my MBP at the airport and connect to the local WiFi. I want to connect to my home VPN before my email client or iCloud connections start syncing data. Is it possible to keep OSX from going hog wild until the VPN connects? I'd be interested in this too. I always get a bit iffy connecting to a completely open wifi waiting during that time it takes my VPN to authenticate.

You could, I'm sure, write something up in pf or ipfw. Just block all outgoing connections except for the VPN and DNS.

I normally use JDiskReport which works fine for large volumes of crap, but I haven't done a clean install in three computers due to finding licenses for a whole bunch of crap, and the Migration Assistant making life so easy. GrandPerspective shows you stuff by file size and it's in a visual format similar to Windirstat. It'll at least show you what the biggest stuff or folders on your computer are.

Yeah, pretty much the only time they'll change a GM is for what they might consider a serious, deal-breaker bug. A problem with Mail that has been manifest (and ignored) since beta 1 isn't going to have that priority. Then again, they probably could be more flexible nowadays since there's no need for lead-time to press CDs or DVDs. Though testing is still important I guess. Nobody wants to fix some minor Mail bug only to discover a couple days later that they've released an OS update that deletes 5% of their users' email.

mayodreams posted:I hate to break it to you, but Apple doesn't regard fixing bugs in Mail very highly. I painfully dealt with a bug in Mountain Lion from 10.8.0 until a few weeks ago when it was fixed with 10.8.5, which was an ENTIRE YEAR where your email literally didn't show up unless you quit the app and relaunched it and prayed it worked. I still have one open from 2010: State:Open Product:Mail Rank:No Value It's a visual bug relating to header views - so nothing horrible. Not even sure it's still an issue in ML since I even forgot I filed it until last week.

Is there a good way to automatically back up my iPhoto library to a network drive? I'm trying to make sure my library is duplicated on my Synology NAS so that it can be included in my CrashPlan backup. I attempted to use the built in Cloud Station software to replicate the library, but that wound up simply corrupting it. I'm now using a trial of Carbon Copy Cloner to replicate my library to a network share, but the horrible performance (70MB transferred in 2 hours) makes me think this won't be a workable solution.

Cool, Microsoft released that Remote Desktop update they were talking about. It looks like it's available through both the iOS and Mac App Stores and it supports RemoteFX, NLA, Remote Desktop Gateways and multitouch gestures on iOS. Now all they need to do is release Office for the iPad. Edit: can't specify custom ports on iOS still

Sure, some people may pay the sub for ms office but it's hard to beat free.

strokevictim posted:I still have one open from 2010: Hah. I've got one open on Safari from 2004.  Of course now that I've checked it for the first time in years, it looks like it's been fixed even though the bug's still open. But I'm pretty sure it took them at least five years, because I used to check on it once in a blue moon and it just kept persisting. (Not that it ever would've been high priority -- it was a minor text wrapping bug. Trailing quote marks and some other punctuation could get wrapped to the next line rather than staying glued to the word they were next to.)

It's just a shame they didn't build the entire application to the standards of the new version's performance. The new Mac RDC is great once you're connected and don't have to use the poo poo-tastic application; terrible up to that point. Judging from the UI, the error dialogs, and the file handling, I'm kinda guessing they didn't let the MacBU do this one. If they did, the MacBU team has apparently been replaced with braindead cats.

So I was testing out gaming on this thing and I get a problem that effectively looks like this: This isn't my picture, and I was running into the same thing in Conuterstrike: Global Offensive, but it basically said it was at max resolution but rendered everything in the top left corner like that. Actually in the game, it worked okay, but when I tried to pause the pause screen still only popped up in that corner meaning I couldn't go to settings, exit the game, or anything like that (since only "resume" was visible). Anyone else seen this before?

You can also log in with your AppleID to iCloud.com and use the free online versions. They are Beta and not as robust as the desktop, but serviceable for most tasks.
