Is it a good idea to run Memtest 64 from a disc on a Core 2 Duo MBP? The machine got beastly hot (85 degrees C), but processors shut down before they start breaking poo poo, right? The disc drive is honestly acting wonky now and five hours in, Memtest did produce a single error which I'm ready to blame on the heat. e: okay so 85 is the shutdown temp for the mobile C2D according to Overclock.net, it had to have been damned near there since it was at 75 thirty seconds later when I booted to desktop. Jesus, what the hell is the point of a memory diagnostic tool running at 100% CPU. agarjogger fucked around with this message at 13:49 on Sep 10, 2013 |

Sprat Sandwich posted:Hey is there a chance of a Mavericks release date announcement at todays event or what? Very low, Apple tends to focus on one line at a time during these events. They will likely have a separate event for Mavericks, where they may drop the shipping date for the new Pro, since it will ostensibly require Mavericks. Geez, I didn't expect to see them advertise the Mac Pro in theaters but there it was. There'll likely be a separate event for that as well, since it's a brand new thing.

OK, thanks. Pretty excited for it. Aaand I just remembered that the dates of both Lion and ML were announced during the earnings reports and one is coming up in October so it's probably going to be that?

There's a 50%ish chance that they'll announce a refresh on Macs and do a "Buy a Mac now and get Mavericks for free when it releases on Oct XX"

WithoutTheFezOn posted:For info, you can use Crashplan to back up one computer to another on your network, no internet needed. For free. Crashplan owns, and I have both of my machines and all of my family's primary machines backing up to the Cloud and to my server over the internet. You can also back up to a external disk on the free version too. The only real caveat I've found is that you can't point Crashplan's data storage to a Windows share on a Windows host. I got around that by using iSCSI, but it works great.

Molten Llama posted:Time Machine should work just fine, assuming you're running relatively recent versions of Mac OS X on both machines. 10.8 on both. So just create a network share on the Mac Mini and mount from the Air and Time Machine to that? What happens when the Air enters and leaves the WiFi network? Is there a clean way to mount and unmount automatically?

Lexicon posted:10.8 on both. So just create a network share on the Mac Mini and mount from the Air and Time Machine to that? What happens when the Air enters and leaves the WiFi network? Is there a clean way to mount and unmount automatically? Once it's set up, Mac OS X on the notebook will mount and unmount the network share automatically as needed. Any time it can't mount the network share (like the user's out of the office) it'll just skip that backup and try again at the next backup. And 10.8 has mobile Time Machine, too, so any missed backups will live on the local machine and be accessible through the Time Machine interface until they can be synced back to the server. So yes, create a network share on the Mini, mount it on the Air, set up Time Machine... and you're done. Magic keeps it all working from that point.

I assume Boot Camp questions go in here. What's the word on HFS+ software for Windows? Last one I used I think was MacDrive and I found it finicky and limited in how I could actually interact with my files. Recommendations?

Bootcamp itself comes with a read only HFS+ driver. Paragon HFS plus is okay but it costs $$$.

piratepilates posted:Hey here's a thing that happened to me Got this at least somewhat figured out, in case anyone was wondering what to do in this situation: Apparently something hosed up my partition table for the drive, so I got TestDisk and used that to analyze the disk, it gave me the sector start, end, and sizes for the partitions, for some reason it showed it as having 5 partitions but some of them overlapped and didn't seem to make sense, still had the three ones I cared about though (EFI, HFS+, NTFS). From there it turns out TestDisk apparently doesn't work very well with doing Apple partition stuff inside the program, so I got GPT fdisk (or gdisk it's also called) and used that to write a new GUID partition map on the drive using the data I got from TestDisk. Now the drive works fine (as far as I can tell) and I have my data back on both partitions and it's all working great I hope.

Is there a way to use iCloud infrastructure with an arbitrary domain as the external handle? I'm trying to gradually migrate away from Gmail to a handle that I'll use for [hopefully] decades... a me@mydomain.org sort of deal. Ideally this would be my externally visible email/calendar handle, but whose backing store is iCloud. Then when Apple bins iCloud and starts over again in a few years, my identity stays the same and I can potentially migrate between providers somewhat easily. Is this possible?

Martytoof posted:Welcome to Canada, the CRTC sincerely hopes you enjoy your stay. Same deal here in Australia, you can get an unlimited cap with a couple of ADSL ISPs but fibre and cable are capped to hell  I have 120mbit/2.5mbit cable with a 500GB monthly cap - After the cap runs out I'm slowed down to 256k which is basically unusable. My mobile phone plan is even more hilarious, using LTE from my home gets me 90mbit/35mbit which is insane but not much use with my 1GB monthly allowance.  </rant>

You can get the same thing by buying google apps for 50 a year and using its exchange synch, or microsofts office online thing for businesses. Hosted iCloud would be the logical next step for iWork in the cloud and such
