Michaellaneous posted:Since I used VPNs fairly often a friend of mine suggested Viscosity and yep, it is a brilliant VPN program. Would not use anything else anymore. I use the stock VPN, which works fine. Is there any way, either with a program like this, or by fiddling around in the network preferences UI, to tell OS X not to use the network until a VPN connection is established? I'm looking for something like "these are my home and office networks, anything else and don't do anything until the VPN is up."

Mercurius posted:You need to plug a USB drive that's large enough to have the ISO put onto it in first or the installer has nothing to make a bootable thing from. There should be another option above the 'Download the latest Windows support software from Apple' thing there about making a USB installer. Is your USB stick being detected in disk utility? This is just a guess here, but maybe, just maybe, he has an internal optical drive, and Boot Camp Assistant won't do the ISO thing with that?

GobiasIndustries posted:Yep; I've actually tried 2 different USB drives, a 16 & a 64gb. Both show up in Finder/Disk Utility, but I don't see any other options in the Boot Camp Assistant. I've tried restarting after plugging each one in just in case, too. Do you have an integrated Smart Drive? If so, you can't use BootCamp to to create a bootable USB. (well, you can but you have to edit a plist file, Google will help you with that).

Quick question - I've upgraded to Mavericks, and the new iWork suite. I need to use Keynote from iWork '09, but when I try to open in finder/the dock nothing happens - no bouncing icon or anything. The other '09 apps are not opening either. Please send help!

If I'm remembering this right, I had the same issue where apparently having a disc drive means flash drives don't exist for some reason??? anyway I was able to find the .app of a Bootcamp Assistant from a MacBook Air, and that ran fine. I don't think it had to be modified, either.

The "sending iMessages from an email address" is really starting to annoy me. It happened to another one of my friends last night. Am I the only person that's seeing this behavior? Also, now Photo Stream is starting to gently caress up. I have about 10 sporadic photos from my iPhone from the past few days that aren't getting pulled down by iPhoto. They show up on my iPad, so I know they've been uploaded. Clean install of Yosemite, new iPhone 6, ugh.

Four photos I took last night (in one "session") aren't showing up in iPhoto, but photos from before and after that have synced fine. Maybe a temporary glitch with iCloud? I don't have photostream enabled on my iPad so can't see if they're syncing there, but I'm also on Yosemite on the Mac side.

FWIW I disabled and re-enabled Photo Stream from the iCloud panel in Preferences and that pulled down the missing photos. It remains to be seen if that fixed the photos getting dropped in the first place, though.

We use VirtualLab Data Recovery for both Windows (NTFS) and OS X (HFS) data recovery. Works pretty well, I have no complaints. I use it combined with SpinRite for small-scale data recovery and have had good success.

; I immediately stopped him from doing any other file operations on it and I ran a deep scan using Disk Drill and it recovered a large portion of the files on the drive, but there's a number of Quicktime Prores files stored on sparse disk images that didn't ever make it and I'm kind of pissed now. Oddly enough, I have a bunch of MTS and MP4 files from the same sparse images that came through just fine, I'm just missing a specific set of Prores videos.

You can put the Android SDK AND NDK in a single folder just fine vs the speed lost and tens of gigabytes a VM would entail.

I upgraded to Yosemite and it didn't break anything which is actually very surprising to me, but anyway, now when I lock my computer & log back in it does all this poo poo. Repositions/resizes my browser windows, switches back and forth between spaces a couple times, looks like it reloads all the web pages... why? Can I turn this off? It shoves Chrome all the way to the right side of the screen, about 200px wide and like 1000px tall.

VirtualBox works fine but it looks like I need to "vagrant up" every single god drat time I log into my computer after locking it now. IE, your VM gets suspended if you lock your computer for a minute. (All the code I write runs on a VM.) Fuuuuuuuuck

I just checked, it's VirtualBox 4.3.18 FYI. From my experience in one of our student labs at work, VirtualBox does some weird poo poo with permissions on some of its files when you log off. I haven't used Vagrant but I wonder if it's more VirtualBox being special. Are there any newer versions of VirtualBox available?

Hmm, 10.10.1 seems to have fixed an issue with Remote Desktop 3.7.2 staying forever in the update list. I'm still gonna apply the combo update when it's released. BTW, if you activated two-step verification on your Apple ID, you're gonna need to have your phone online to get the verification code, it's the first thing Yosemite asks for after the update.

Speaking of two factor, does it apply to the store at all or is it just for iCloud stuff? I signed into a new machine recently to download some (already purchased) stuff and didn't run into the prompt at all.

Remember that FileVault now is not the same as it was in its first incarnation, now it's full disk transparent encryption like BitLocker. I enabled it since it froze up when I tried to do it while setting the laptop up in the first place, and it seems to work fine.

Okay... we all agreed that the guy who posted how bad Apple is for taking longer on his repair while he doesn't have any backup and therefore no access to his data is an idiot, yet every single time FileVault is mentioned, it's somehow "ooh bad" for no given reasons and now the reasons are exactly the reasons that aren't valid for the other guy - got it. Kobayashi posted:Isn't that rather the point? No, it should have super tight security but also "123456" as a password of last resort.
