Two things I hate about the new Safari. 1: I remembers what sites I had open when I close it, and insists on going there again. I just want it to start with my actual start page, dammit! 2: It doesn't reload pages when I hit back, but just serves up a cached page. I loved the reload because it would update the post counters on your bookmarks page in SA's Control Panel. Someone please tell me I'm stupid, and that I can change it in some setting I have missed.

Why the hell does my network drives keep disappearing when I drag them to the sidebar? They'll show the + sign, very briefly show up in the FAVORITES-list and then just, well.. disappear.  Edit: And screw the new mail program. It's not any better than the old one, and so incredibly slow. Crowley fucked around with this message at 19:43 on Jul 21, 2011 |

The Lion changes to Mail and Safari turned out to annoy me enough to make me reinstall 10.6 I'm happy for now, maybe things will get better in a few months.

For some reason the [timg] tag doesn't work like it used to. Now I can't mouse over the TIMGed images for the little blue "make original resolution" button. I've tried googling, but I haven't been able to figure out why it happens. Does anyone else have this problem, and can someone please oh please tell me how to get it back.

wolffenstein posted:Absolutely love CrashPlan. It's secure, reliable, and easy. I used their seed service, which was really easy. They ship you a drive and a paid return label, you back up to the drive, ship it back, and a week later your online backups are incremental from the seed. Crashplan is seriously the best answer. I use it for the whole family and it gets my warmest recommendation. You can't get the drive sent out if you're not in the US, but even uploading it all over the internet I still love it to bits. I just limited the upload limit so it wouldn't saturate my connection at home, and let it take it's time. The unlimited storage is a nice feature too. I don't care how much crap the missus and kids drag home, it's all backed up. It's not free, but god drat it's worth every cent. E: I currently have ~1.5 TB backed up between all the machines at home.

It seems to me that SMB connections are really really slow to establish on 10.7. Is there some way to speed that up a bit?

Why the hell does my mounted drives disappear when I drag them to the sidebar. I can drag them there, and then the instantly go away. I've been trying to see if I unticked some "Show mounted drives" option in the settings, but nope.

unruly posted:I find that both a Time Machine backup and a service, like CrashPlan, is an effective personal backup system. Time Machine covers recent snapshots of data that you're likely to want to recover, and CrashPlan (and others) are for the long haul archival things. Crashplan has version retention too.

If you're using Final Cut this might be something for you. Avid is running a discount on Media Composer, selling it for $995 until Oct. 1st. Link here.

movax posted:Interesting; I've never tried Parallels, always been a die-hard VMWare fan (I love Workstation and have been using Fusion 3 on OSX). Was about to drop $50 on Fusion 4, but now I'm wondering if I shouldn't give Parallels a shot. I picked Fusion originally because at the time I think Parallels was really, really sucking it hard. I'm using VMware professionally and picked up Parallels because Macupdate had a great deal some time ago (thanks goons). I like it a lot.

I downloaded the Logitech Control Center V. 3.5.1-23, but it doesn't recognize my ancient mouse so I can't apply the Logitech driver magic. USB Overdrive. Try it out for free, it does exactly what you want.

I just ordered a new Mini and I have a few questions. If I buy a small SSD disk how can I (for example) put the OS on the SSD and /Users on the slow traditional HDD? Where can I buy a cheap-ish Bottom Hard Drive Flex Cable (part: 922-9560) in the EU?

I use Parallels for a bit of 3D gaming. That works fine, but I wouldn't have gotten it if I didn't get it with a heavy discount with one of those MacUpdate deals.

Bob Morales posted:While they are good quality, fast, and small, I only recommend them for light use. Every $89 Brother printer I've given to special snowflakes that need their own printer always craps out, and then I replace it with a $250 HP printer and never hear from them again. Well, except when they need the toner changed. Of course, these are people in an office environment who are printing > 500 pages a week. For personal use you can't beat the Brother Lasers, but for office environments I really like Kyocera.

Martytoof posted:What do you mean confirm? Like on every purchase? I like the fact that I have one credit card number plugged into my Apple account and I never have to think about it again. When you use the account from a new piece of hardware you have to confirm the card. It prevents misuse of the card if the account has been compromised.

C-Euro posted:My GF has an older Macbook ('06-'07) that she wants to give to her mother, but she wanted me to backup and clear all her party pictures/fetish porn/whatever before doing so. The backup was easy, but is there a command on that model for a "factory reset" so to speak? Or should I just manually delete everything that needs deleting? This worked perfectly for me.

Mercurius posted:10.8 and 10.9 are significantly easier to get working with modern applications and network environments than 10.6 Before 10.8 It was hell trying to make the Macs in our graphics department play well with Active Directory. Since we migrated to 10.8 I haven't had one single issue with a Mac randomly dropping off the AD or simply not recognizing it.

eddiewalker posted:There are some non-Apple NAS devices that advertise TM support, but they aren't raspberrypi-cheap. I use a Synology Deskstation for that. It's not Raspberry cheap, but not all that expensive if you already have a disk lying around. I can't remember which model mine is, but it was the cheapest one you can get.
