There isn't a plugin but you can enable something in the advanced menu. I had to google for it. Now I have to click to play any video. So much better. That's safari only of course.

On another note, does anyone here have an Apple TV (4th gen) that they have to reboot every single day in order to get it to reconnect to their iTunes? I've been patiently waiting for them to fix this bug but tvOS 10.2 just dropped and it's the same crap as ever. Oh you're home? Hi, I'll wake up from sleep. You want "Computers"? TURN ON HOME SHARING IN ITUNES. Restarting iTunes doesn't help. The only thing that does is rebooting the Apple TV. Every single day. (Laptop connected via wifi, Apple TV via ethernet; but it doesn't matter, I've tried the laptop via ethernet on the same switch, doesn't make a difference, it just doesn't reconnect)

This seems hopeless, but maybe one of the thread wizards has an idea I can pursue. I just got a MBP at work to replace a Dell notebook. I'm not sure how or why it worked in the past, but I was able to sync my work calendar (Outlook/exchange I guess?) with my iPhone 6, then 7. On the Windows machine, when the phone was plugged in, in iTunes when I selected my phone, there was a dropdown list next to “Sync Calendars” in the Info tab. One of the choices was “Outlook.” Under that was the box with checkboxes for different Outlook calendars like Birthdays, Calendar, United States Holidays, etc, basically what I understand to be sub-calendars in my Outlook account. So now that I have the Mac, I figured interoperability would be at least as good, if not better. No such luck, as the Calendars section of the Info window in iTunes has no dropdown directly to the right of “Sync Calendars,” and the list below is clogged up with all manner of calendars. I recognize the accounts associated with all of them, but didn't expect to see 22 or whatever. They all end in @apidata.googleusercontent.com or @p47-caldav.icloud.com. To be clear, this is a work-provided computer and email account, and a personal phone. There's no official support for this, it's just good to be able to see what I've got coming up tomorrow or have teleconference numbers available in the notes sections of appointments. As far as I can tell I have the same iTunes version on both, everything is as updated as I can get it. Anyone have any bright ideas?

You can select whether you want to pull mail, contacts, calendar, reminders, and notes from your Exchange account there as well. Or install Outlook.app (which is actually pretty good) on your phone. I can't recall the last time I've ever used iTunes to sync that kind of data.

My dad managed to brick both his iPhone 7s last week trying to do an iTunes sync because his PC restarted mid update. Outlook for iOS is better than Mail imo but they're both good enough for Exchange servers. Set the Exchange account up in the settings app of your iDevice and it will just work.

Any kind of iTunes sync has to be cloud-based; the software will destroy your computer and break your spirit.

tuyop posted:He bricked them? They didn't just need a restore? Nope, totally bricked and in the mail back to Apple for warranty work. I reckon it was an unprompted Windows 10 update restart mid iOS update what done it. Either way, the phones throw up error 14 every time we tried restoring them, no matter what we tried and Apple suggested. That kind of poo poo just doesn't happen when you do all your updates OTA.

My mac is constantly 90-100% CPU and I'm going crazy because of how slow it becomes sometimes. These are the CPU core and CPU proximity temps:  Is it thermal throttling? What can I do to fix it?

Because I've only seen those kind of temps in two situations: fan stops working or the heatsink has separated from the CPU and/or GPU. EDIT: Wait, are those temps in F or C? Because I just checked in mine and it defaults the scale to local, so all mine is Fahrenheit. Proteus Jones fucked around with this message at 19:27 on Apr 4, 2017 |

I'd need to buy those penta screwdrivers though. (It's a late 2013 13" macbook pro retina)  I rebooted after leaving it alone for a while so it seems to have calmed down for now but it always goes back to 90% after a couple of hours. The previous screenshots were with a bit more of a day of uptime. tuyop posted:What does Right now it's normal but sometimes kernel_task is going crazy but usually Chrome, electron apps or ruby/node are +100% depending on what I'm working on.

Open, clean, ideally reapply fresh "overclocking-grade" thermal paste. My mac mini had similarly mysterious problems and very high load averages, that fixed it.

gmq posted:Fan speed: 6200 Yeah, that's crazy high for the fan speed and the temp. For instance I on my 15" 2016 rMBP I've got two VMs open, and RDP session and a few SSH sessions running (although the RDP and SSH shouldn't really have much of an impact). I'm seeing an average of 97 ℉ and my fans hovering around 2100rpm. It sounds like the fan and the temp sensors are working because the fan sounds like it's maxed out speed-wise. I'd really look at the heatsink pulling free from the CPU. There should be some good tutorials on how to reapply the heat sink on YouTube for whatever your specific model is (sorry, if you said. I must have missed it if so)

Your CPU is sill running a bit warm under load (also 90% utilization seems high, but I have no idea what you're doing), but that's a major drop in temp for your CPU at that utilization. This should probably move over to the Mac Hardware thread, as well.

Instead of worrying about temps try and figure out what's dominating your CPU. Open a terminal, type "top" without the quotes and take a screenshot and post that.

Yeah, top simply showed whatever I was running. The thing was that it was really really easy to hit 100% and 100% wasn't as powerful at it should have been. I haven't changed anything about my workflow today (besides changing the thermal paste) and it's working a lot better. It's almost like having a new computer.

The things is that if thermal throttling is limiting the CPU to 5% of its normal speed (or whatever the actual number is), any process could hit 100%. It’s not a software problem. There simply aren’t enough CPU cycles to do the work that needs to be done. Platystemon fucked around with this message at 22:39 on Apr 5, 2017 |

Where do trashed files "live"? Like, say I trash a 1gb file in a dropbox synced folder. Does the space reserved for the file still get synced to dropbox or does it exist in a separate trashed folder on my system volume? What about a 600gb file on an external harddrive when my system volume is only 256gb?
