Binary Badger posted:On a new blank hard drive, installing Lion will create a hidden recovery drive partition, forgot the exact size but it's at least 20-30 GB. I'd imagine it'd gently caress up a non-standard setup (anything with partitions other than HFS+) hard, but I'll try it on one of my BootCamped machines and see. The recovery partition doesn't even occupy a gigabyte. It's just big enough (~790MB) to boot a stripped-down OS X environment and let you download Lion to a functional partition.

Asnorban posted:How do I do something similar to Spaces now that that is gone? I used to have one space for all my work related programs, one for tweetdeck / other miscellany, and one for music related programs. As it stands now it is just an unorganized clusterfuck of things I don't need constantly visible (like Tweetdeck). Not dumb at all. Mission Control is a clusterfuck because all your Spaces settings are totally wiped out instead of being translated over to Mission Control. With Mission Control open, you can create up to 16 spaces ("Desktops"). With multiple desktops available, you can assign applications to this/all desktops from the Dock.

You can also see this in action in TextEdit. If you want to see your minimized windows instead of recent documents, sucks to be you. Edit: I should probably clarify that app exposé now displays both minimized windows and recent documents. If you want one or the other, too bad. In Preview, look for the page curl to stay sane. It's clearer in other applications, where windows tend to look less similar to recent documents. Molten Llama fucked around with this message at 18:43 on Jul 20, 2011 |

QWERTTY posted:I wasn't sure where I was supposed to put things and it just wasn't video files it was the project files as well. I just put in a request to get a call from apple tomorrow. From now on if I want a folder I can put all my projects in where should they go? In your own user folder somewhere. Documents, Movies, a folder of your own creation... Just inside the space yourself own. (Coincidentally, Lion ratcheted up the restrictions on system folders to help prevent this sort of thing.) While you're waiting for Apple to get back to you, see if there's a Previous System folder at the root of your hard drive. Wayward files often get shoved there, and I think I have some dead user folders moved there while I was testing Lion. Edit: In Finder, open the Go menu. Pick "Go To Folder", type in "/Storage", and press enter. Or if you keep hitting Command-Up from a Finder window, you should eventually see it.

chizad posted:- Until I get used to Mission Control I'm really going to miss the ability to jump from space N back to space 1 (unless there's an option to restore that behavior that I've overlooked). Having the dashboard as a space is kinda cool though; I tended to forget it was there a lot of the time. The keyboard shortcuts? That's been moved to the Keyboard preferences now. You can also (for some incomprehensible reason) turn keyboard shortcuts on and off on a per-space basis, so if you have an irrational hated of Space 2, you don't have to worry about accidentally jumping to it with Ctrl-2.

chizad posted:The keyboard shortcuts still work fine for switching between spaces. But in SL I could use them to jump right from space 4 to space 1 (or vice versa); that doesn't work in Lion unless there's some setting I'm missing. Keyboard preferences, Keyboard Shortcuts tab, Mission Control. Turn on all the "Switch to Desktop N" options you want to use. They're good and buried. TACD posted:I don't know why everybody is making this so complicated? After Lion creates the recovery partition, you can boot from that and erase from Disk Utility there, and then do a clean install. You don't need to extract any DMG files or mess about with external drives at all. Because the recovery partition doesn't house a Lion installer. It houses the capability to download the installer. If you want to (and can) download 4GB all over again, more power to you, but when you erase the drive you're erasing your existing copy of the Lion installer.

Astro7x posted:So... I use to have this feature in Snow Leopard, is it gone? It's still there. It lives in Universal Access preferences, and for it to work, Zoom needs to be enabled and a setting in the Zoom section's options needs to be turned on. If it's not working for you despite both of those being set correctly, you'll just have to wait for a bug fix in some future version of Lion. (Personally, Zoom works reliably on my MBP but occasionally quits working entirely—not even the keyboard shortcuts work—on my Mac Pro.)

brc64 posted:I read that a few times and I still don't understand what's happening. It reads like Lion is letting people access the LDAP directory without verifying credentials, but I don't see how that would be possible. Authentication happens on the directory itself, not the connecting client, right? I must be misunderstanding the problem. Yeah, that Reg article is terrible. Apparently what's actually happening (putting together the pieces from several other sources and a couple colleagues who have tried reproducing it) is that Lion isn't validating the password again for repeated logins on the same client system. So your machine's bound to an LDAP server, and you sign in as network user bobdobbs with password splendid. Lion will verify that splendid is the correct password and allow you to log in to the client machine. You're done, you log out. You/your coworker/Julian Assange come along to the same client machine and log in as bobdobbs. This time, no matter what password is entered, Lion will accept it and log you back into the client machine. Or at least that's what I've pieced together. From my understanding, this doesn't affect anything except client machine logins where you're using LDAP as the auth source. If you're storing sensitive files on local machines or doing something stupid with network shares it may become a wider issue, but from the sound of things this isn't nearly what the Reg and the echo chamber it's created are positioning it as. Still a stupid problem and a security issue. Molten Llama fucked around with this message at 06:48 on Aug 31, 2011 |

MarquisDeSade posted:Interestingly enough, when I decided to just erase both partitions, make a new one and restore onto the new, larger one with Time Machine, the Disk Utility from the recovery partition wouldn't allow me to do it, saying it couldn't unmount the the existing partitions. It's been my experience that, given the opportunity, Lion will try to carve out a recovery partition at the end of the target install partition. So if you've got Lion on "MacBook HD Old," your problem may be that your partition table actually looks like this: pre:#: TYPE NAME 0: GUID_partition_scheme 1: EFI 2: Apple_HFS Macintosh HD Old 3: Apple_Boot Recovery HD 4: Apple_HFS Macintosh HD If you've got two recovery partitions, you can nuke the middle one and should (theoretically—I haven't tried to expand a volume backwards in a while) then be able to resize. Pop open Terminal and diskutil list to find the volume identifier, then diskutil eraseVolume JHFS+ NewVolume diskXsY, substituting the correct identifier.

Debating whether I want to install Server components just to get a VPN service running, or whether I should be looking at some third party software. The VPN setup in Lion Server is so simple I paid the $50 at home for that feature alone. Forward two ports, pick a shared key, turn it on. You are done. Hamachi may work if you want something free and self-contained, and don't need iOS devices to use the VPN.

Distorted video on a 2008 MBP, you say? And then problems booting? Visit the Genius Bar, I say. Seriously, though, if you've got one nearby, go get it checked out. It's free, takes like 5 minutes once they actually get to you, and you may win a brand new logic board. In the mean time, see if you can boot from the recovery CD. It could potentially be something boring like a failing hard drive (if it hasn't written itself off yet, it can just. deliver. data... very.... slowly, making boot take forever), which will be evident if it boots fine from the DVD but not from the HDD.

unruly posted:I left it alone for quite a bit longer and nothing changed. No disk activity, no error windows, nothing. So I quit the program and restart the computer. Upon returning to MacOS, I notice I am short on disk space in the amount I had partitioned, but I do not see any partition anywhere in Finder or Disk Utility. It's as though the space is 'gone' (though, Disk Utility does report the correct overall size of the disk). What size is the MacOS partition? Will Disk Utility let you resize it (or add another partition)? Basically what happens when you run through the assistant is that it resizes the Mac OS X partition, and then it creates a new partition for Boot Camp. Odds are it got through half of that, and the space is just unpartitioned at the moment.

If not, anyone else heard it so we can figure out what's doing it? 1Password borrows the system's "rusty lock" sounds (used when you lock/unlock secure preference panes, or in Keychain Access). By default it'll lock its database after 20 minutes, after sleep, or when the screen saver activates. It doesn't offer an option to disable the sound, but maybe there's a secret key for it. Try the AgileBits forums, maybe.

computer parts posted:Probably a dumb question, but can I put all the "Adobe CS#" application folders into a generic "Adobe CS5" folder in /Applications/ without it breaking everything? I'd think yes but it is Adobe, so... Theoretically yes. When you move any CS5 application, the next time you start that application, it will (should) detect it and want to "update the product configuration." Let it. This highly sensitive process requires you authenticate as an admin user. At that point, everything should work, including updates. But maybe it will, maybe it won't, because it is Adobe, so... Worst case it goes horribly wrong and you get stuck reinstalling Creative Suite. But it should work.

moron posted:So, Mountain Lion isn't going to be compatible with my old Mac Pro 1,1. Can anyone shed any light on exactly what prevents it from being compatible? Mountain Lion runs a 64-bit kernel. The original Mac Pro only has 32-bit EFI support and can't boot a 64-bit kernel. Whether this applies only to the current developer preview or will carry through to release has yet to be seen; Apple so far hasn't made public announcements either way. Previous OSes have seen the support list grow as development continues. On the other hand, Mac Pro 1,1 is headed for the vintage products list (5 years since discontinuance) in short order and may well end up unsupported. It doesn't officially go vintage until January 2013, so we may possibly squeak in for one more update. Cross your fingers. Molten Llama fucked around with this message at 23:42 on Feb 19, 2012 |

Where do you connect your third through sixth screens? How do you get rid of the (admittedly decent) space-hogging consumer-grade display many users neither want nor need? A lot of users could technically and theoretically shoehorn themselves onto an iMac courtesy of Thunderbolt, but it would be an unholy abortion of yet-unreleased Sonnet PCIe enclosures and JBOD/RAID enclosures and other crap piled in front of an oft-superfluous 27" iMac screen. And you'd end up at the point you've spent more than the cost of another drat Mac Pro, Mid-2010 refresh date notwithstanding. There is, at this stage of the game, nowhere good for many original Mac Pro owners to go.

jackpot posted:What am I doing wrong that's making my files read-only on windows? How do I avoid this without having to do all my dropboxing from windows? Probably nothing. Even if your Macintosh permissions were read-only, they're not honored by Windows. My guess would be they're not actually extracting the archive. Most versions of Windows treat a zip archive like a folder by default; you double-click it, a window full of files opens, and you can open files directly from it, completely oblivious to the fact those files don't exist anywhere. That you're able to replicate it yourself by actually extracting makes that seem less like the obvious option, though.
