My work flow: In 10.8 it doesn't give me the dialog, it just auto saves the original (which can be reverted, but that's an extra manual step)...unless you have the "ask to keep changes" option on in System Prefs-General, then it brings up the old save or revert dialog when closing the original.

Refreshing never helps, but closing and reopening firefox seems to do the trick. I don't get it. I had issues when I first installed it yesterday with Chrome but a few hard refreshes fixed it.

Anyone had problems with Quick Look Helper before? Lately I've been experiencing slowdowns and some of the time I find that that is cropping up in Activity Monitor, using like 40% CPU for ages. It just appears, if I terminate it it starts again and continues using lots of resources. OS 10.7.4.

If you had enabled TRIM support for a non-apple ssd via terminal, you might want to check if its still active, because mine had switched back to having TRIM off, and I had to reset it.

This is a late 2008 iMac with no SSD, it doesn't crash the machine but it does make it so things like page loading in Chrome is stuttery, and 720p video is unwatchable.

I am migrating from Windows to Mac (at least on the laptop), and I want to just ease into it, but are there any ridiculous default settings that you should always change, when you boot up a fresh OS X? I still remember the dreadful Windows rituals with ClearType, page file size, and whatnot.

I won't get into the details but I spilled almost half a bottle of AstroGlide lube onto the keyboard of my new Macbook Pro Retina. (not me) I installed an SSD and upgraded to ML yesterday. Everything is amazing, however I had trouble booting from an 8GB flash drive. I had to use my old hard drive, boot into Lion and run the 10.8 install from there. zalmoxes fucked around with this message at 22:08 on Jul 26, 2012 |

Is anyone unable to capture screenshots (command control shift 4). I've tried it on two computers, they make the film advance sound but nothing appears on my desktop. I did get it to work once, but that was just a screenshot of me googling to see if anyone else had the issue. Hopefully Apple didn't forget about this feature like they seemed to have forgotten about the NeXT icons. edit: Holy crap, I take that back, there's a new camera icon (but it still doesn't work). edit 2: I'm dumb, not suppose to hold down control (I usually just jam keys until I get the right modifiers). alo fucked around with this message at 23:18 on Jul 26, 2012 |

So I just had something freak me the hell out. After the update to Safari 6 on my Lion machine, all of the sudden the searches I would do from the address bar would redirect me to a russian search site instead of Google. And it wasn't seeming to pay attention to what search engine I had set in Safari's preferences. After a bit of freaking out and checking my DNS and router to see if they had been hacked, I finally realized that prior to Safari's unified search/address bar, I had been using a plugin called "Omnibar" to do the same thing. And apparently the upgrade screwed up it's settings and pointed me at a Russian search site instead of Google. And then I sighed a huge sigh of relief and thought I'd post it in here in case it happens to someone else. I just uninstalled Omnibar since Safari 6 has it built in now.

My Safari 6 (oh my god, I am way too impressed with the new omnibar) just went "Hey this omnibar extension hasn't been tested, so it's turned off." This is a good thing, because I can't figure out where the button is to get rid of it!

For anyone considering downloading Mountain Lion, go into Disk Utilities and check the HDD you want to install to for S.M.A.R.T errors. It straight up wont install to a drive with these errors on it (probably a good thing) but it would be nice if they could check this before shelling out $20 for it. On a positive note, the drive is being replaced next week through Applecare, so I can finally upgrade from Snow Leopard.

On a whim I used the third one (with ML already installed) and it downloaded OS X Server. The Up-to-Date program should be really simple so I'm not sure how they've managed to screw it up this much.

I have a Macbook and like to back up my data onto two external hard drives regularly as I take a lot of photos / make music and losing any amount of data would be disatrous. Is there a program that will let me plug in an external hard drive and then automatially backup any files that have been created or modified in a selected folder since the last time I backed up? At the moment I just do my backups manually but I always worry about forgetting to backup something and it's a really time-consuming process. I tried using Time Machine but it seems to just create an image of the entire computer and I couldn't find an option to select only a few folders to backup. So if anyone has any recommendations they would be much appreciated.

Time Machine does what you want it to do, but the opposite. Basically you need to tell it what NOT to back up. As of 10.8 it now also lets you back up to multiple hard drives, which is also what you want. And it only backs up what has changed each time, and keeps a copy of previous versions of a file until it runs out of space

You're quite correct to suggest everyone should check their hard drive's condition before a major upgrade. However, Disk Utility's SMART triggers won't go off until the drive is beeping and screeching, and smoke is billowing from your computer. The few times I've seen 'S.M.A.R.T. status: failed' in little red letters the drive was already beyond repair. Better to download the trial of SMART Utility and see if it thinks the drive is failing. It will give you a more detailed idea of what's wrong (bad sectors, pending bad sectors, reallocated sectors, etc.) than Disk Utility.

To clarify, if I have a file on my computer that I back up through Time Machine and then delete the file from my Macbook will the Time Machine hard drive retain that file next time I do a back up?

What should I be looking for, something taking up a lot of processing and threads? There isnt a lot running right now, the highest process on the activity monitor is Chrome sucking up a whopping 4% of the CPU.

Yeah I wouldn't complain about the speed either. The time taken for it to return text to your machine is actually very good. I think that guy always complains about having lovely internet so it's probably just him.
