Am I the only one that finds it amusing that the system setting for default browser is hidden in the Safari preferences? And some Apple apps don't even respect it and open poo poo in Safari regardless.

Security update just went out for Mavericks. It's not 10.9.3, and Apple's page detailing security updates hasn't been modified to reflect it yet.

Lexicon posted:For better or worse, web browsers defaults have always worked this way... in OS X and otherwise. Not quite true. While you could set it within the Safari prefs, there used to be a nice, consolidated defaults general control panel for the default mail client, browser, et cetera. It went away sometime around 10.4. I want to say it was the "Internet" pane in System Preferences. I recall a lot of wailing when this went away because people had to (gasp) open Mail and Safari to change the defaults.

Looks like Apple started a new OS X beta program that allows anyone to download OS X betas. Previously you needed to receive an invitation to the Appleseed program, or pay the $99 for a Developer account.

Still won't make them fix their SMB 1 or 2 file sharing bugs any faster!  Also won't make Radar any less of a black hole.But if people want to run unstable software, then power to them. I've had my share of prereleases that had interesting bugs/uselessness, now everyone else can experience them.

I've pre-ordered a Rift DK2 (shoot me) and wonder if there's some way I'll be able to configure it to be a mirror of just my primary display. So far as I have been able to tell, OS X only supports either mirroring all attached displays as a single display, or extending onto all attached displays, but not mixtures of mirroring and extending.

I have heard that Chrome drains MacBook batteries and I am experiencing the same issue. Last night when using Chrome on battery, my estimated time left was under 6hrs. I quit Chrome and started using Safari and the estimated battery time remaining shot up to 9hrs 30min. Seems like a lot of other people are having this issue so I guess the question is, assuming there is no simple fix, what browser should I be using? Firefox? I am not a huge fan of Safari...

If you're concerned about battery, Safari is the most battery conscious on Macs. Since I use an iPhone, iPad and Macbook.. I just made the conversion to Safari. Its been just fine -- especially with iCloud Keychain. The only thing I don't like about Safari is that Command + 1 doesn't select the first tab, it selects your first bookmark in the bookmark bar. I don't let tabs stay open too long anyways so it hasn't been a deal breaker.

The bad thing about Chrome is that it has a problem where it will use CPU after you wake your Mac from sleep and eat your battery.

The biggest thing stopping me from moving from Firefox to Safari is the utter lack of closed tab history. I undo close tab a lot, and frequently several times in a row (so Safari's undo-to-reopen-tab isn't good enough).

vikingstrike posted:Not in front of a Mac at the moment, but is there not a "Recently Close Tabs" section in the History menu? The main problem is that closed tabs don't retain their browsing history. You can't reopen a closed tab and then use the back button to go to a previous page. Sure, the page visit will (probably) be in the overall browser history but you will have to find it yourself since the browser doesn't associate it with the tab you just reopened.

You're using a very different version of Safari then. I have no “reopen last closed tab” — just undo close tab (which I can use to restore any number of tabs), and it definitely does not remember any history.

I'm not in front of my mac to test the menu list myself but I'd be surprised if it wasn't at least possible via an extension. Maybe SafariStand or Glims or something. I'm working in Safari Version 7.0.3 (9537.75.14). I open it fresh; the starting window shows me my top sites. I navigate Tab 1 to nytimes.com. I middle-click on three different links, so I have 4 tabs open in my browser. On Tab 2 (the first article I opened), I scroll to the "Most Emailed" section and click on one of the links, opening it in the same tab. I press Ctrl-T to open up a new tab (tab 5). In that tab, I type "foobar" then enter, which brings me to a google search page. I hit the first link, opening it up in tab 5. Now I close Tab 2 (the link from the first article I opened), Tab 3 (the second article I opened), then Tab 4 (the third article I opened) in that order. On Tab 5 (foobar.com), I click the "Screenshots" link. I hit Ctrl-T to open a new tab and search for "Hello", which brings up a Google search page. Now I realize that my old Tab 2 had something on it that I wanted. Ctrl-Z will "Undo typing", which doesn't help. I don't have anything in the "History" menu that allows me to open tabs that I previously closed. I do see the two articles from Tab 2 on that list (god forbid I clicked even more on foobar.com in-between), but clicking on either article overwrites the tab I'm currently in. I can middle-click, which does open a new tab, but it means I have a new tab, when what I wanted was Tab 2 back, with its full history stack. In Firefox, I have in my History, a list of "Previously Closed Tabs" that I can browse through to get the tab I want. Alternately, I can right-click on the tab bar and select "Undo close tab" a handful of times to get the tab I want, because I frequently won't remember the title of the page, I'll remember what it looked like. I have seen Glims mentioned as a possibility, but then when I go to a page to download it, I see various comments talking about ads. I will look into SafariStand.

Tippis posted:What ⌘Z does will depend on the context. If you have a text field in focus, it undoes typing. If you have a general page or tab in focus, it will revert to undo close tab. But it won't let me undo close tabs multiple times, which is what I want: to grab the tab that I closed 3 closed tabs ago.

Well, maybe that's a Glims thing then (since I completely forgot that it has tab options — I only got it for the search engine mods… but it still works even if I disable that functionality so vOv), but I can do that just fine. Granted, I will have to do 3 undos to get that particular tab, so it's not the drop-down list other browsers might offer, but I can still undo my way through the stack and just re-close the ones I don't want.

Is anyone else having issues using Parallels 8 to run a Windows 8 partition as a VM? I decided to upgrade and Parallels was previously able to see my Win7 boot camp partition. I thought I was loving up the partition formatting (I use Boot Camp Assistant but am aware you then need to reformat in the Windows installer). Parallels still can't see the loving boot camp partition.

Is it possible to use asr to restore over the root partition without booting into recovery? I have ~30 minis I'd like to image with an updated image, and don't really want to baby sit each one with a keyboard/mouse/monitor to reboot to recovery, restore image over the network, reboot again, change name, move on to next computer. Instead I'd like to ssh in, asr, reboot, screenshare in and set the computer name. If that's not possible is there any easy way to do what I want? (Or a better thread than this to ask?)
