Just finished upgrading to Lion and already I'm having problems. My ethernet port is now all but useless. I can assign it an IP and it says "Connected", but I can't ping the Mac from other machines on the network, I can't ping anything from the Mac, and I can't even ping its own IP from the Mac itself. What the gently caress? EDIT: Hurf, durf, that was easy. The upgrade installer nuked the subnet mask in the network config.

Looks like Internet Sharing is busted on Lion. Under Snow Leopard I had a configuration set up where I would share my office wireless connection with my desktop via Ethernet on my MacBook Pro. Worked like a charm, until I upgraded to Lion. Now, while I can get the two machines to see one another and ping one another and even ssh to one another, I can't get the desktop to reach the internet through the MacBook anymore. This loving sucks. I really need this connection. Anyone have any suggestions?

Binary Badger posted:He already said forty minutes ago, he updated his subnet mask, Lion somehow nerfed it, now he is happy. More people who don't think to hit refresh button. Well, to be fair that was to get the two machines to talk to one another. Internet Sharing itself is still hosed. And I have figured out why. You're not going to believe how loving hilariously bad this is. So what I'm trying to do is simple... I have a desktop machine with no connectivity to anything, just a loose ethernet cable. I have my MacBook Pro, which I use to connect to the office wireless network. I then hook my desktop to the MacBook via ethernet, and I enable Internet Sharing on the MacBook so that the desktop can use its internet connection. Worked like a champ in Snow Leopard. Here's how the baby computer-to-computer network is configured: Desktop Ethernet: 10.50.0.19 MacBook Ethernet: 10.50.0.1 So while loving around trying to get Internet Sharing working on Lion, I would do pings, traceroutes, etc. while looking at the logs in Console to see if I could see what the gently caress was going on. Then, by random chance I started a ping from the Desktop to the MacBook just as I fired up Internet Sharing. This is what I saw: code:Desktop Ethernet: 192.168.2.2 MacBook Ethernet: 192.168.2.1 Suddenly Internet Sharing started working just fine. I went back and re-tested a few times to make sure I wasn't hallucinating or missing something, but sure enough, Mac OS 10.7 Internet Sharing from Wireless to Ethernet will only work if your Mac's ethernet address is set to 192.168.2.1. Period. THANKS, APPLE.

Doctor Zero posted:It's really not. If you wanted to see the bottom of a piece of paper in front of you, would you push up on it? or push down? Yeah, that works fine when you're manipulating the data directly. (e.g. Via touchscreen.) With an intermediary device like a mouse or a trackpad, it makes less sense. See: every mouse scroll wheel ever. It's the exact same finger motion, and reversing it would make no sense at all.

I can't stand it, and I shut it off immediately. Like I said earlier, for direct manipulation it's appropriate. But via a mouse or touchpad it's analogous to turning your head. You scroll down when you want to look down, and scroll up when you want to look up.

You're moving your hand to the left so launchpad is scrolling to the left. Augh this makes no sense. Click-scrolling in launchpad works properly but gesture scrolling doesn't. But it does.  Whatever, I'm never going to use launchpad anyway so I guess it's not THAT big a deal.

MarquisDeSade posted:I know this is dangerous but I keep regular backups of everything on my drive with Time Machine so I thought I would try anyway. Is there a way to have Snow Leopard ignore the SMART status of the hard drive in my late 2009 iMac? According to Disk Utility, the drive is failing, but I won't have a chance to get the drive replaced for a few days. Why would you risk corrupting your system by performing a major write operation on a failing hard drive? And if you keep regular backups, you'll end up propagating the corruption to your Time Machine files. Jesus, just wait a few days.

Oddly enough, turning private browsing off automatically logs me back in to this site. That's not a glitch. Private Browsing is 100% segregated from your cache, both read and write. When you turn it on, your browsing session moves to a clean and empty sandbox that stays persistent only while private browsing is on. When you turn it off, the sandbox is purged and you move back to your standard cache.

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. And it took a bunch of monkeying with "Duplicate" and "Save a Version" to even figure out how to get it to do what I need. And this Version saving poo poo is also awful, since you adjust the size, save a version, and then close/reopen Preview only for it to pop open everything you'd already closed and TRIED to adjust. I can't stand this bullshit. Accipiter fucked around with this message at 22:23 on Jul 27, 2011 |

lelandjs posted: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. Yeah no, none of this is correct. If you make changes to the file and hit duplicate, you end up with a copy of the non-edited version. You have to edit the actual duplicate an then save it out, and god help you if you decide you want to save over the original file. And there is no dialog box asking what I want to do with the original when I Duplicate. It just does it. And when I close all documents and exit Preview, the next time I open Preview by opening the edited document, ALL of them open. This system is not intuitive at all. Maybe it needs some tweaking to make more sense, but its current implementation is crap. Even having a "Save As..." option would make everything all better.

Doctor Zero posted:Really? So I should be closing the doc that I'm working on, going to Finder, finding my doc, copying the file, changing the name, going back into the document again and keep working? Thank you for beating me to the punch. Sometimes you just want to make one edit to a file and save it separate from the original. This is not some crazy unheard of bird-brained operation. And this is just talking about Preview. What about other applications that lack both "Save As..." AND "Export..."? Like say, TextEdit for example. Here's a perfect example. Open TextEdit, create a simple document, and "Save..." it to the desktop. Now make a minor change to the file, and find a way to save it in the exact same format as a completely separate document with a separate filename. YOU CAN'T DO IT.

wdarkk posted:Pretty sure the File->Duplicate menu item will do it in TextEdit. "Duplicate" gives you two options: 1) Don't make any changes to the document, hit "Duplicate" and end up with two documents open - the original, and the new unsaved version. 2) Make your changes to the document, hit "Duplicate", receive a prompt asking what you want to do with the changes you've made. Choosing to continue will maintain the changes through to the new document, and you end up with two documents open. Choosing "Duplicate and Revert" changes the original back to how it was at the last save and carries the changes only to the duplicated version, and you end up with two documents open. I reiterate: you can no longer simply open a document, make an edit, and save it as a different filename without going through the above ridiculous monkey business.

Just found another bullshit feature removal/limitation in Lion. Previously, Spaces allowed you to bring up the interface and manage all windows on all desktops. Not in Lion! Bringing up Mission Control will not allow you to move windows from any desktop other than the active desktop. So if you're on Desktop 2 and you want to bring up Mission Control to move a window from Desktop 3 to Desktop 1, you're loving out of luck because clearly that's too "power user" for Apple. Now you have to switch to the desktop with the app you want to move, bring up Mission Control, and THEN move it. It's like 10.7 is the "add unnecessary steps to all tasks" release of Mac OS X.

First boot is the worst thanks to spotlight indexing, and FileVault has been completely revamped. Plus there's a lot of under-the-hood changes that affect battery life and no doubt system performance that can easily impact temperature. Welcome to a .0 release of Mac OS. Wait for 10.7.1 or 10.7.2 and things should settle down a bit.

Anyone have any idea why Lion will immediately remount a USB flash drive when I "Eject" it? It's the drive itself, because I have like five different USB flash drives and it only does it with one of them. It might just be its specific implementation. It's pretty old (32MB), so it's probably some bizarre first-gen behavior.

rckstar79 posted:You're right. But he was speaking specifically of Preview, which is an app that should logically support Export (because of the many interchangeable image formats). I'm not sure why TextEdit, for example, should support Export. Because there are many different types of text files, not all of them plain text? rckstar79 posted:Likewise, while third party apps aren't free, they might fill some of these gaps/ease this transition. BBEdit supports both "Save As" and the autosave feature. In fact, BBEdit also has an appropriately named "Save a Copy..." option. Save a Copy is essentially the same as "Duplicate" (just without the autosave functionality), so I suspect you'll see "Save a Copy" in BBEdit eventually get replaced with Duplicate to maintain consistency with the new way of things in Lion.
