Good thing that's not the case. Now I can lust after the new air in peace. The real size is maybe 1GB and honestly I'd say it's worth it, especially if you have a computer without an optical drive.

dazjw posted:Is anyone else having a problem where Safari (5.1, Lion) decides to reload your tabs when you switch to them? Kind of like using an iPad 1, but more annoying since my MBP has 8GB of ram and most of it is free. I'm not sure why it happened on a computer with 8GB of ram though. In my experience, Safari has only let OS X dump its Web Content process once or twice and I'm on a 2010 MBA with 2GB of ram. Could be a bug. In any occasion, I don't mind the feature much.

So I decided that it's time I learned to program in Objective C. Of course, Xcode 4 is fairly new, and all the guides I found use 3.2. No problem, I thought, and proceeded to download and install it. I open up /Developers and… no Xcode app. In fact, the folders are mostly empty. Ok, no problem, I'll just uninstall and reinstall it. There's even an easy one-line terminal command to uninstall it: sudo /Developer/Library/uninstall-devtools –mode=all. Except uninstall-devtools isn't anywhere in that folder. Or on my hard drive anywhere. I tried installing 3.2 again without removing it, thinking that maybe OS X would be smart enough to install the files I was missing, but that didn't help. So how to I remove Xcode? And will reinstalling it even work on Lion?

Accipiter posted:I am really loving hating that they did away with "Save As..." because now doing things like adjusting the size of a scanned image in Preview and trying to save it to the desktop is COMPLETELY GODDAMN IMPOSSIBLE without jumping through eight hundred hoops. Rather than just opening the file in Preview, adjusting the size, and choosing "Save As...", you've got to do some hokey horseshit to duplicate the file, make your changes, then "Save..." the file the way you want it and delete the original from wherever the gently caress. I dunno, it makes sense to me and it's only an extra step. Make changes to the file, hit duplicate, then save the duplicate to the desktop. If you want to keep the original the way it is, Preview (and other apps) allow for that—it even pops up a dialog asking you what you want to do with the original when you duplicate it. Not that you need to worry about that, because even if you do accidentally save modifications to the original you can always pop open versions and revert it. If you close the windows before you quit, it shouldn't pop them back open when you open the program again. Mu Zeta posted:So much bitching. After reading the last 20 pages I'm definitely holding off on upgrading my iMac to Lion. Snow Leopard has been fine and I have no complaints. I can put Lion on the laptop to play around with it though. It's not like Lion really adds much for desktop users. Are you comfortable with changes that are awkward and annoying at first, but are better in the long run? Go with Lion. I was unsure about disappearing scrollbars, "natural" scrolling, Versions, Restore, etc. at first but I've come to find that they're all pretty awesome features to have. asecondduck fucked around with this message at 23:37 on Jul 27, 2011 |

Sooooo my adventures with 10.7.1 were going smoothly… until I tried to open Preview. Bounce, bounce, bounce, crash, bug report pops up. So far I've repaired permissions and rebooted, but neither helped. Anyone else got this issue or have any idea how to fix it? [Edit: Pulled an old copy of Preview from a 10.7.0 Time Machine backup and it launches and works just fine. For what it's worth, they both have the same version number (5.5.1) but the app fliesize is ever-so-slightly different; the one in my Applications folder that isn't launching is 42,156,532 bytes while the one that I pulled from the backup is 42,074,274 bytes.

So i've been experiencing an issue with my (brand new!) 2014 MPBR and Safari 8 (I upgraded to Yosemite as soon as I created an account) where the computer is still working (so not completely frozen) but it won't accept input from the trackpad or keyboard. I've been through a few different troubleshooting steps, including changing the resolution back from 1440x900 to whatever "best for retina" is, disabling adblock and click to flash, and uninstalling Flash, but I can reliably replicate the issue even after all that by simply loading a page on YouTube. I've had it happen on both video pages as well as playlist pages. I know the computer isn't completely freezing because the screen updates (the video plays) but I can't interact with the computer for about 5 seconds. It also sometimes happens when I open System Preferences, but not every time. When I replicate the issue in Safari with Activity Monitor open, I have noticed that Activity Monitor freezes for a second or two; when it refreshes, kernel_task jumps to the top reporting ~15% processor usage. Chrome plays and browses YouTube just fine. Is anyone else experiencing this issue?

dik-dik posted:I have the exact same problem. Do you use Chrome, by any chance? I notice if I'm using my computer for any amount of time, Activity Monitor starts filling up with Google Chrome Helper (Not Responding) processes, which I can only get rid of my rebooting. So far I'm just rebooting my computer at least once a day and it's mostly useable but I'd really rather not have to do that. Dumb question but did you check to see if they were still there after you closed chrome? I tried force quitting a couple of them myself and that resulted in various extensions and/or tabs closing.

Mister Macys posted:Hoooly poo poo; Yosemite is the most gently caress-ugly garbage I've ever seen. Have you tried enabling "Use dark menu bar and Dock" under General in System Preferences? That way you get dark grey poo poo surrounding your dock instead of light grey poo poo surrounding your dock, which may be more to your liking:  Also the menu bar looks pretty baller too:  Both of those images are taken from Siracusa's review because I don't feel like screenshotting my desktop.

The Milkman posted:Hopefully now that Yosemite is out devs will actually get on making menu bar icons for dark mode. That and the AWFUL folder icon color are the only things that really bother me. I've installed a few third party apps that place poo poo in the menubar. Radiant Player and Gears For Google Music, Creative Cloud, Twitter, and Chrome all handle the dark menu bar properly. The only app that hasn't so far is OneDrive, which I can live with (if I really want to make sure that it's actually syncing I can just click on the blank space where the icon should be and see it there). Dark menu bar is for pro tier users, only scrubs keep their menu bar blind-your-eyes white

spongeworthy posted:So I just received my rMBP 13", making the switch from a MBP 15". This is going to be a difficult move losing so much screen real estate I feel. The pixels are so small that you won't notice a difference. I'm using the "More Space" option right now and everything looks super sharp, so much so that even tiny text like this submission box that I'm currently typing in (it's roughly an 8pt font) can be read easily. Sometimes I think I've capitalized an "i" but didn't and can't tell the difference because of how small the text is, but that's my only issue with this resolution setting. Well, that and there's a pretty significant performance loss from running Dolphin while I have the computer resolution increased, but I'm not really surprised by that.

Here's a link to a folder of them, which also includes the originals, so that you can replace them easily if something goes wrong. It's the same location as the Dropbox example above, just drag and drop them in and choose "replace". Make sure to quit OneDrive first before updating the icons, of course.

Yeah, when I got my rMBP I was marveling at how awesome it looked and remembered how much I liked OS X for its design... then Yoesmite finished downloading and installed and GOD  .The retina display definitely makes it look better, too. I've considered installing a Windows 8 VM to see how it looks in comparison but can't really afford this disk space. Curse my unwillingness to spend an extra $200 to double the storage (really I should just look into sticking some of my larger apps (Garageband, Photoshop) onto an external drive and go from there).

Microsoft apparently released an update back in 2012 to support retina resolutions. Some of the UI uses old images that look lovely, but the actual fonts that you type with and all that look fine. Is it possible that "Open in Low Resolution" is selected in the program's Get Info pane? That said, I hope that the rumors about Office 365 coming to Mac are true, because the new interface is awesome and having to go back to the mess that is 2011 was disappointing.

dirtyfrog posted:I had a link recently to a good guide on installing Windows to an external hard drive, which appeals as I'd only use it rarely so don't want to give up disk space for bootcamp. Buggered if I can find the link again though, and my google-fu is just finding info on formatting drives so they can be read on both. Anyone done this recently? Here's a link to the guide I used: http://bleeptobleep.blogspot.fr/2013/02/mac-install-windows-7-or-8-on-external.html It was way easier than I expected (and works fantastically), though it does require access to a Windows computer or a virtualized Windows install on your Mac. I should note that the guide did get one small fact wrong--when you boot from the external, there's no need to wait for the chime to press the option key. You can press and hold it as soon as the computer shuts down and it'll boot into the boot drive picker. Also a quick (I guess fairly obvious) side note that isn't covered in the guide: after holding down option while booting you'll see three drives; your Mac's HD, one labeled Bootcamp, and one labeled EFI. You'll want to select Bootcamp to boot to Windows, since EFI, well, takes you to Windows' EFI menu. Once or twice the EFI drive has appeared before Bootcamp drive did; just wait a few seconds and the Bootcamp drive should appear. asecondduck fucked around with this message at 06:32 on Nov 20, 2014 |

Slowhanded posted:I use radiant player as I had some weird bugs with fluid. Feel free to stick with it if it works for you. I really liked Radiant Player but it kept on using an abnormal amount of my CPU, to the point where if I tried to skip a song it would beachball for about 15 seconds, so I switched to Gear. It's not perfect--finding All Access tracks is a pain, so I still do most of my library management through a browser--but when it comes to shuffling my Google Play library it works just fine. Media keys work with it too, though it uses a third party program called Media Keys to hijack them (and occasionally I have to hit the buttons twice for them to work).
