Yeah, it took longer for me but I'm still on an old spinny drive. I haven't had any issues with the (public) betas either except for the first Yosemite beta.

Look Up has gotten majorly beefed up. If you three finger tap on a link it will pop up a little window and render the destination.

I figured the Force Touch overlay was just an improved three finger tap one that got shipped early.

Hey thread. I have a late 2013 rMBP. I often use it connected to a crappy display via miniDP to VGA adapter. When I first got the computer, the external monitor would not wake from sleep when the laptop did. The laptop would recognize it was connected to the display, but the display itself stayed in sleep mode and said "no input detected." My solultion was to unplug the adapter and plug it back in or to restart the computer. Then apple did a cool update and the problem went away. If I returned to my computer which was in sleep mode, simply moving the mouse would wake the laptop and display. But after that I updated to the latest OSX (before the recent one, I'll check when I get home) and the behavior reverted back to what I described up top. It's super annoying, but it's a first world problem I'm willing to live with. I want to buy a new monitor, and if AT ALL possible, I would love for it to wake from sleep like it's supposed to. Would I encounter this same issue using miniDP--> DVI or mini DP-->DP? Those of you with MBPs and external displays, do your monitors wake from sleep mode or screensaver mode when you move the mouse or wake the computer? My HDMI port works perfectly when hooked up to a TV. It's the thunderbolt ports giving me trouble.

Since installing 10.10.3 on my 2014 Air, it takes way longer to get to the login screen from a cold boot. It used to take four or five seconds from pressing the power button to being able to enter my password, but now it takes about thirty, and almost all of that time is spent on a black screen before the Apple logo appears. Anyone else experienced this? e: Resetting PRAM fixed it. Guess I should have tried that first. The Ass Stooge fucked around with this message at 18:52 on Apr 9, 2015 |

So I can just delete the iPhoto Library file after it makes the new Photos Library file? I have backups if something goes horribly wrong.

If I place my Photos library on an external drive, and use iCloud Photo library, can I then view my online library without the drive attached while using the drive to periodically take full resolution backups?

Has anyone been experiencing issue with iTunes Match lately? Just updated iTunes, and suddenly everything from Match is gone. I turned off match holding the option key to flush the stored files, but when turning it on again, it alerts me to all the files being there, but doesn't display them. Naturally, I checked to see if everything was toggled to show iCloud files, but no solutions there. Everything is checked, and everything looks perfectly fine - just a distinct lack of 3500 songs I have in iTunes Match. Oddly enough, all my other iOS devices see the songs jut fine.

I have a retina MBP and an iPhone 5c for work. I also have poo poo signal in my house. If I try to call someone via facetime audio on my laptop, is it using the mobile network, or the internet? In addition to this, when my iPhone rings my laptop rings - if I answer it on the laptop, which is it using?

FaceTime audio is data. Calls are the circuit network. If it's a FaceTime audio call, the laptop is going to be able to take that on its own through your wifi/ethernet/whatever internet, and your phone won't be involved in any way unless you're tethered. If it's a cell call, it's relayed over Bluetooth from the phone.

Speaking of the handoff feature and everything, why the gently caress can't I SMS from Messages.app? I used to be able to, then it stopped working. Months ago, way before 10.10.3 or whatever. It'll see that I have an active message session with an SMS contact, I'll click the thing in the dock, it'll bring up Messages.app, but I can't send or receive anything there. It's just a blank message session with that contact, but if I send anything it immediately says it failed. Everything else (re: handoff) works fine, just the SMS poo poo broke. I reassociated my number with iMessage and all that, all my settings are correct, OS X certainly thinks I can SMS from Messages, but when I go to do it ... nothing.

Sign back in on the phone, sign back in on the Mac. Had to do it before (though that was my fault - complicated situation)

For some reason, my phone at one point forgot all the devices I had authorized for SMS forwarding. Is your laptop enabled under Settings > Messages > Text Message Forwarding on your phone? For some reason, this setting would sometimes disappear from the page. I think I had to disable and re-enable handoff or iMessage to get it to show up.

It was enabled by default, worked properly, then suddenly it's buried in some menu, and attempting to use the feature doesn't say "hey shithead, you haven't turned it on"... Oh well. Thank you!

I like that WiFi calling is an option, but the majority of the time I am either in public or want to take an incoming call on my actual phone, or I don't want to take the call at all. I wish the notification had a third "ignore" option, similar to how I can click once on the power button to silence an incoming call.

I'm not sure that hiding the icon is really the right solution to Notification Center being broken on your machine. Just sweeping dirt under the rug... Here's another potential solution from stack exchange: quote:This in terminal will show notification center again: If that doesn't work, i'd open console.app and see if anything gets logged when you click the notification center icon. That may give a hint.

So in the new Photos am I overlooking the way to drag photos between date entries* or is that not possible any longer? *I guess that view is now titled Moments. One used to be able to drag and drop photos in this view- whatever it was called on iPhoto I don't remember. spongeworthy fucked around with this message at 09:35 on Apr 11, 2015 |

I have a dumb question. Why is it when I go to open a video file from VLC Open File window, it won't let me double click a folder to navigate into it? It always wants to just add the entire folder to a playlist. I've noticed this behavior with other applications as well. For example, when selecting where to download the contents of a torrent file with Transmission. It's really frustrating. decypher fucked around with this message at 20:47 on Apr 11, 2015 |
