Who's planning on buying? I sold my 2012 rMBP a few months back and currently have 2015 MB. I plan on getting the 15" and selling this one. I really want dual 4k 27"!!!

I think realistically I'm just going to try to get a deal on the current model 15 inch instead of upgrading to a brand new one. My 2012 non retina is showing it's age but I don't really want the OLED bar or some hosed up keyboard.

Touch ID on laptops is a no brainer but I hope it's not exclusive to the Pro machines.

Just noticed now but anyone else have printer issues after the Sierra update? I am having issues with my brother printer. Not sure if it is from the Sierra update or not.

USB, Wired or Wireless? I have a wireless Brother laser, and no issues. My father has the same model and it was hanging off an Air Port Extreme and he had problems after upgrading to El Cap. But after configuring the wireless network settings on the printer and re-setting it up with Bonjour on his Mac it's been working fine.

Looks like there will be no new iMacs or displays released at the upcoming event, although I'm hopeful Apple will tease us with SOMETHING, at least. http://www.macrumors.com/2016/10/22/kuo-october-2016-mac-predictions/ I'm also hopeful this report is incorrect, but Kuo has a decent track record.

I'm still waiting till 11am on Thursday before I hit purchase on one of the iMacs in the refurbished store though, just in case... anybody have a 2 TB Fusion drive? It work okay?

eames posted:I hope they announce a machine with PCIe slots. The odds are slim to none but surely somebody at Apple must be watching the prices for 5,1 Mac Pros. They still sell for good money even though their single-core benchmark scores are below those of a passively cooled 12" Macbook. Someone should sell a Hackintosh that is literally a trashcan Mac Pro mobo with the lanes from the CPU broken out into a daughterboard.

In all my life I have never seen an iMac get screen burn in, but I just came downstairs and my retina iMac apparently had been on and didn't sleep (but was dimmed) since yesterday afternoon (it's now Sunday night) and my screen has INSANE burn in. Like totally legible webpage, desktop, etc... What the heck??

Leave it for a few hours, or maybe even overnight while you sleep. It'll go away. It's not permanent.

Weird though that in a decade of owning iMacs tonight is the first time I've ever seen such a thing... and I didn't miss it before, it's HELLA noticeable. Thanks again.

If I can get my image persistence to go away, the resale value of my iMac will go up a fair bit.

Although it's weird that it's "hella noticeable" after one night. That doesn't really happen, I've left LCDs on the same screen, even on Macs, for weeks and never got any persistence. It usually happens to panels used for digital signage and stuff like that, where the panel's entire purpose is to display the same pixels for a large part of the frame. I'm wondering if this isn't a problem with the desktop compositing getting messed up and leaving a translucent image part of the render, perhaps a remnant of an animation? It sounds silly to say this in a thread where we're all interested in technology but - have you tried turning it off and then on again? But yeah, typically persistence can be fixed with a bunch of white for as long as it takes, but it happening so quickly is surprising to me.

Yeah it was like 24 hours maybe 30 and I guess for some shitheaded reason my screensaver nor sleep kicked off. The funny thing is I'm sure I've had that happen before where the screen stays on unintentionally but never seen one peep of retention.  [Ed] and yes I powered it off twice.

Some apps like video players turn that off when they're foregrounded (i.e. the ones in the menu bar). I think VLC does it? Not sure if it only does it when playing... I think a bunch of pro tools (and I mean pro applications, not literally Pro Tools) do it too. Well, have fun.

I wouldn't worry. The iMacs at work had this for months and two or three weeks of turning on screen savers stopped it. I was also baffled, though.

I really want dual 4k 27"!!! poo poo, I just want to finally upgrade to a retina display on a laptop that isn't slower than my mid-2012 MBP. A MacBook rAir with a 6th or 7th gen Intel CPU might work. Even if it wasn't as fast, it'd at least have double the battery life. A new Mini would be awesome. It's a testament to Apple's engineering and their lack of new hardware that my Mini and MBA are my longest used computers ever. binarysmurf posted:Looks like there will be no new iMacs or displays released at the upcoming event, although I'm hopeful Apple will tease us with SOMETHING, at least. Skylake? That can't be right. I thought part of this long refresh delay was for something newer than Skylake.

I'm not really sure what I'm asking here so bear with me. Is the Photos app designed to manage just photos you take, or all of your images in general? I have a folder with wallpaper I like, and other images I like that I've found on the internet. And I want to store this on iCloud. Do I let Photos manage these images somehow? Or should I just move the folder into iCloud? What do most people do?

I'm not sure if this is the right place to post this, but any thoughts would be helpful. I've got a 5 or 6 year old MBP and a Drobo with 2 partitions. In my infinite wisdom I made the partition with the time machine backup pretty small (~1GB). I'm starting to think about getting a new MBP, one with a larger HD (500GB or 1TB). I think the current Time Machine partition on the Drobo is too small for this, and I don't really want to fill up the other partition with backups. I started to read up on adding larger HDDs to the drobo, and it seems like the Drobo will put the new extra space on a new volume that it automatically creates. Assuming I want the new computer to start with the old time machine*, what I'm trying to figure out is the order I need to do things in, and if there's anything tricky in directing the new laptop's Time Machine to the new volume. So if I switch out a couple of 2TB drives for 4TB drives in the drobo (one at a time), then plug in the new laptop and direct it to the old time machine backup, then before it makes a new backup, tell it to start a new backup on the new volume, that would work? Also, I've not used anything with Thunderbolt- can I just look for a thunderbolt hub with a FW800 or an adapter or something, and do they work pretty well? Any particular recommendations? *Any reason not to just to start fresh aside from the hassle of installing apps? My last two laptops have hilariously inherited "BetterLekNextTime's Powerbook G4" from a much older computer of mine during their initial firewire disk transfer or time machine transfer at initial install...
