Anyone else have issues with external displays not working on MBP after upgrading to Lion? I have a 13" MBP (mid-2010) and if I connect an external display, the whole system slowly locks up over the period of about 5 seconds. I can keep dragging windows around for a bit, but eventually it stops responding altogether and I have to reboot. Tried a different MiniDP-DVI adapter but had the same problem. Blew into the DP port in case there was crud in there, and wiggled the cable around. The monitor is a cheap samsung (bx2440) which I've been using without issue for about 4 months. There is an old cinema display somewhere I'll try at lunchtime, but trying to work on this tiny 13" screen is quite annoying.

Turns out my MBP external screen hang issue is probably hardware-related, because it only happens when the laptop is connected to power, and I can find hardly any other reports of it happening. Unfortunately, this machine is 2 months out of warranty. Booked an appointment at the fruit stand on Sunday. I'm guessing the only fix is logic board replacement

I must be the unluckiest son of a bitch. 1. Upgraded my 13" MBP to Lion, which is 2 months out of warranty. Now I can't connect external displays to it any more. The whole system just crashes. This is my main work machine, so for the past week I've been coding on the tiny 13" screen. Spaces have actually made this bearable though. 2. Upgraded my 2011 17" iMac to Lion, and I have the horrible bug where playing any video (flash, html5, quicktime, iTunes) will cause the whole machine to lock up. Every time. I really, really hope they fix that video crashing thing soon. It's pretty serious. Though, I am a lot more productive now that I can't browse youtube or watch movies :/

Crush posted:What causes this since it doesn't seem to be for all users? As far as I know it's widespread but only on mid-2011 iMacs. I have not done a clean install though, so perhaps it's something else... It turns out that InsomniaT (a prefpane to prevent your computer from going to sleep with the lid closed) was causing my crazy lockups when connecting an external display to my MBP. I'm incredibly glad I got that sorted before I drove out to the fruit stand tomorrow. :S

All novels though; no way would I try reading a reference/technical book on it. The only downside I have with it is that you have to turn pages more often. Other than that, its better than a physical book in every way (for my needs), and better than a dedicated reader because it's one less thing to buy and carry and charge.

Martytoof posted:For one reason or another I've been rebooting a fair amount lately. I have two iChat accounts set up, AIM and Google Talk. Sometimes I log in and they both connect without a problem, but then sometimes I log in and they both prompt me for a password. I can understand that X connections in a small amount of time might be suspicious, but considering they're BOTH asking me for two separate passwords to two separate services leads me to believe that iChat is the one behind this. Anyone experiencing this issue? Yeah i get this seemingly randomly as well. I hosed around with the keychain a bit but nothing seemed to get better. Though I did figure out that you can just click ok/login and it will still login fine even if you leave the password blank. Hopefully it gets fixed in the next version?

Appachai posted:I just got a macbook air. This is my first mac. What's the best free antivirus? ClamX AV isn't horrible, though I've always told it to only watch my downloads and mail folders, as they're pretty much the 2 big vectors. Also note that if you just install the main part, it won't actually scan anything unless you tell it to; you have to set up watched folders in the Sentry portion of the app to do that. But to be honest, I don't run it anymore. There's no real need, especially now that I've already got a standard set of apps I run, and most of the new stuff is coming from the App Store. On a side note, I tried installing a fresh copy of Lion on my 2010 MBP last night, by burning the Install ESD.dmg image to a dvd. Everything worked fine until it got most of the way through the install then said the installation failed and to try again. Unfortunately, it then kept failing no matter what, and wouldn't let me restart the installation from scratch even after re-partitioning and formatting the hard drive. It turns out the Lion installer records the status of the install in the PRAM, which you need to reset if you want to try completely reinstalling Lion from scratch.

I used to have a certain model Billion router which refused to pass multicast DNS packets between interfaces. This ultimately meant that all the poo poo that relies on Bonjour (file sharing, printer sharing, iTunes sharing etc) would not work if one machine was on the wireless and the other on wired. Haven't come across any other routers with the same issue (even other Billion ones) but it could be possible... unless it only just started happening?

If you're willing to put up with a slightly cumbersome interface you can always use the inbuilt app Keychain Access.app. All your passwords you type in are automagically here, and you can add additional passwords and store arbitrary text notes as well. To actually view a password/note you have to type in the keychain password each and every time so it can be a bit annoying. To avoid having to scroll through the massive list of passwords in the 'login' (default) keychain, you can make a new one and drag existing ones into there, and make any new ones in there. If there was a way to make it so you could completely unlock a keychain and view passwords & notes without having to put in the password every bloody time I'd use it.

Apple just released Safari v.5.1.2 via Software Update. No tech support note yet.

I'll be buying Coda 2 from the MAS as soon as Apple allows me to throw my money at Panic. I've been using Coda 1 nearly every single day since it was released. It's minor bugs have become tiresome, so I've been greatly looking forward to this update. The only thing I'm not sure about are the large tabs on top. I was hoping they would follow in the footsteps of espresso and have a vertical list of open files or something. Though knowing these guys they've probably done a good job of it. Diet Coda looks awesome too, and will be a day 1 purchase as well. For $10, why not.

This is what I do. The whole-system-jolt while it waits for Flash to spool up is infuriating to me. Hence none of my Macs have it installed anymore. What I don't get is how it appears to be getting worse with every version. Although what's more annoying is how YouTube has started preventing you from playing HTML5 video back on the desktop, so instead I manually switch the user agent to iPad while in Safari to get the sweet sweet h264. Hopefully they wont catch on for a little while...

A few interesting things I noted, being a web developer using homebrew: Homebrew still appears to function fine, which was a huge relief. Web sharing has disappeared from the Sharing preference pane. You have you manually control Apache with apachectl or launchctl. Strangely, once enabled it seems to retain the exact same default configuration. I had a custom httpd.conf file for Apache, which got overwritten during the upgrade from Lion to ML. Instead of deleting the old file though, it was just renamed to httpd.conf~previous, which is super thoughtful. Moved it back and Apache was fine. I also had to re-install php5.3, as heaps of the libraries were overwritten. Everything else seems fine though.

I was going to make a post asking about weird mouse jerks and cursor jumping issues, but I've done some troubleshooting and nailed down the problem so thought I would share. When moving the mouse around, every 10 seconds (on average) the cursor would jump 10-20cm on my 27" iMac. This was happening on a corded Logitech mouse. After unplugging everything then re-plugging, the problem turned out to by my secondary Samsung 22" LCD, but only when powered off. I have no idea why it would cause such an issue. It doesn't occur if the monitor is switched on either. There is nothing in the console about anything weird happening, and Activity Monitor doesn't show anything either.

If you really insist on having something (and the builtin protection is quite good now, even if its not a full system antivirus scanner as such), I'd suggest ClamXav http://www.clamxav.com. Simple, free, open source no-frills virus scanner. If your computer is anything like mine it will probably find shitloads of Windows viruses in your mail folders, and pretty much nothing else, so at least I know it's working somewhat. Should this be in the OP?

I've started having a few issues with my 27" iMac running Mountain Lion. All software is up to date, and I've just verified disk and disk permissions (from the recovery partition), and run a virus scan for what it's worth. I'm getting hundreds of these entries in my console (in /var/log/messages) code:The computer normally gets left on overnight, but twice this week I've woken it up to find the whole system unresponsive, bar the mouse cursor. Looking at the console log, there are again many entries for UBCopyItemListForPath, and also hundreds of entries stating that the file table is full, which I'm pretty sure is why it locked up in the first place. I don't have any idea what is causing this though. My spotlight index also completely corrupted itself and had to be rebuilt, which could be related. I have also been getting messages in the console about quicklookd being unable to process a preview for a corrupted jpg image. Any pointers on where to start looking? I thought it might be the hard drive dying, but disk utility insists everything is fine, for what that's worth.

So I'm at the end of my tether now and would really appreciate any help possible. I don't know enough about low level Unix/OSX stuff to figure this out myself. The problem is my file table keeps becoming full. In the system log on both my work iMac and home iMac I get hundreds of these: code:code:This sucks if it is a problem with iCloud or one of the apps that I use, since I doubt an OSX reinstall would help, as it would probably just come back (not that I've tried yet). Both iMacs are running Mountain Lion 10.8.3. I have tried looking at the output of lsof to determine what is using all my file descriptors but I dont understand what I'm looking at. Is there a logical next step, apart from reinstalling the OS? Is there an easy way to determine which app/service might be causing this? edit: The story unfolds... So I think I've tracked this down to Coda 2, and it's syncing of sites and clips via icloud. If I turn off iCloud syncing in it's prefs, all the UBCopyItemListForPath errors stop occurring, and come back a few minutes after I turn it back on. I'll file a bug report with Panic I guess.

Were you able to do anything to resolve it, aside from just turning iCloud off?
