Is there a way to disable Safari's "Power Saving" click to play? I already have ClickToFlash installed and this is on a tower besides.

VM talk: I never use the Fusion features of making Windows applications appear on the dock or such, but I just prefer VMware since I can easily migrate my VMs to my Windows machines at home in a pinch.

Star War Sex Parrot posted:Safari > Preferences... > Advanced > Internet plug-ins > Stop plug-ins to save power Speaking of this is there any way to add exceptions. There is a list of sites that start automatically but I have no idea how they got there. There also seem to be some issues like sometimes it doesn't show the notification that something has stopped and clicking on it doesn't work.

I'd like my Time Capsule backups to only happen twice a day or so (as opposed to hourly). Does anyone know if this definitively works? http://osxdaily.com/2012/02/02/change-the-time-machine-backup-schedule/

I just use Time Machine Editor instead of writing out all that stuff, works great and I edited my Time Machine to back up one in the morning and once at night. Pretty much works on all Time Machine-enabled OS Xs. Caveat is that you have to turn Time Machine off in the control panel.

Your windows can request a new activation if you change a lot the VM configuration, I don't remember the exact changes that trigger a deactivation, but it happened to me in the past. IIRC there is a "tolerance" with changes (ie, just adding more memory won't trigger it, but adding more memory and changing the virtual network card and something else COULD do it).

Is there an alternative to MacTheRipper that works on 10.9? Just looking to decode DVDs, not transcode video.

It gets regular updates (last was yesterday!) and works for me on 10.9.1. You can even download a free trial that lets you rip 5 DVDs before nagging you. Scroll through their website and watch the DVD follow your focus

Apologies if this should go in Haus of Tech Support, but I have a question about OS X Server. I work for a small video production/post house, with less than ten employees, and we're pretty much a Mac-dominated business. As assitant editor, I'm in charge of most of our hardware, but I've never had training for system administration or I.T. or anything. That said, I've been charged with getting one of our spare Mac Pros (an early '09 model) to act as a server for the office. For now, its primary function will be to serve as a unified Calendar server. My predecessor began this process over a year ago and got fired before it really got off the ground, and I'm fairly out of my element here. I started doing research and the Mavericks version of OS X Server seemed like the best way to start. So I installed Mavericks and the newest OS X Server. It previously had Mountain Lion and OS X Server Mountain Lion installed on it, so during the upgrade it carried over the previous server settings, but this machine wasn't being used for server purposes yet. It was basically just sitting there. Since the machine was previously tied to the business owner's personal Apple ID, I started by making a new Apple ID and changing the name of the server to reflect that. Now the host name is companyname-server.local and computer name is CompanyName Server. Then I flipped the switch for Calendar service to ON. Aaaand that's as far as I've gotten. I think I'll have to get a new DNS certificate for people to access it outside of work, but for now, intranet service would be fine. Eventually they'd like to be able to view/edit the calendar from home via iCal/Calendar on home laptops or with their iPhones/iPads. I've hit a brick wall and I'm not sure what to do next. Can anyone point me in the direction of a tutorial or maybe feel up to consultation over skype or facetime? Thanks! DammitJanet fucked around with this message at 17:42 on Jan 29, 2014 |

Caged posted:Who provides your company email? Setting up OS X server on an old workstation to provide calendaring isn't ideal. Bluehost. It may get used for more than that at some point, but the idea is that the server machine will then become our business manager's main desktop as she's primarily responsible for scheduling/bookings. So when she makes changes, iCal on all our other machines should update to reflect those changes, etc. That's really all we need it to do for the time being. I have no doubts that it's not an ideal solution, but I'm trying to just get it working to get them off my back (as well as learning some new skills).

I've got a bunch (~200 gig) of high quality mp3 recordings that I want to archive and reduce in size. I know I can drop them into iTunes and do it that way but its a bit of a pain, but is there a drag and drop solution or something?

Yeah that's what I figured but wanted confirmation. DammitJanet posted:Bluehost. With that out of the way...I have no experience with OS X Server so can't help you out  .But if you're willing to use whatever random service, she'd just make a calendar for herself and the rest of y'all Calendar apps would be subscribed to it with the right link shared around. If everyone needs edit access that's possible too but will vary depending on service I think.

There's this one loving form I use for Dungeons and Dragons that doesn't render right in Preview. So I have Adobe Reader installed for that and only that. And it sucks balls.

Yeah, I've been having this very problem on a new 13 inch rMBP. Seems to be a problem with using a static IPv4 address at work, and it only occurs when I'm on battery. It is definitely aggravating. If you have multiple Locations set up under Preferences > Network you can toggle between them to get the adapter to wake up without having to remove it and plug it back in. Please post if you find a better solution!

japtor posted:I remember having to deal with that once. Ended up just doing some print loophole to get an unprotected PDF out of it though There's also a suite of software called DeDRM that'll strip off DRM off protected PDFs so you can read it in whatever PDF reader you like and maintains the metadata, TOC, page numbers, and whatnot. Just doing that to not have Adobe Reader installed is worth it as is using Skim instead.

Is there anyway to get my MacBook to stay connected to the wifi when its sleeping, in the manner of a tablet? Constantly resetting the wireless when I wake the laptop is getting annoying. I don't think Power Nap is enough; it happens even when the computer is plugged in and I have Power Nap on when its plugged in.

I'm currently trying to log in to the Apple discussions forum, but keep getting stuck in a loop at this point: I can enter anything in the Username field, and it just returns me to the same form, with variants of "username is already taken" or "An account utilizing this email address already exists" error messages. Any idea what I'm doing wrong?
