My up to date worked flawlessly, few seconds, and lion is sitting here happily downloading. Thought it was quite impressive. Make sure you have the story name in there right?

Blah, apparently Lion uses AFP 2 or something, and my NAS uses a version that's not compatible. No Time Machine or access to shares for me until I get a software update...weak sauce.

Laserface posted:So AFP has been replaced with AFP2 and theres no backwards compatibility until my NAS firmware upgrades? I'm in the same boat, hopefully mine actually upgrades, sounds like the only company that offers it, is charging a bunch... In the meantime there is this, will work for everything besides time machine I think. http://icomputernrd.blogspot.com/2011/07/freenas-fix-for-afp-connection-issues.html?spref=fb

Sweet, my logitech mouse tilt now switches between mission control spaces....epic. I too didn't think Logitech Control Center would be updated either, pretty awesome. Now get on it NAS drives, Adobe, and everyone else...

Mo0 posted:is there a TVersity equivalent for Mac? I'd like to stream my videos to my 360, but I can't seem to find a player that will transcode stuff; all my Google searches are getting me is Connect360 or people asking for a TVersity Mac version. I think you can run TVersity on the mac, but there are a couple of other ones you could use: PS3 Media Server (http://ps3mediaserver.blogspot.com/) - Has 360 'unofficial' support. Free. MediaLink (http://www.nullriver.com/products/medialink) - Works great, should support PS3/360. $20 Edit: Whoops, medialink is only for the PS3, Connect360 is the one you want - http://www.nullriver.com/products/connect360 Edit2: And for TVersity I was thinking of TwonkyMedia Server, which will run on a mac (haven't used it though). There seem to be a bunch of them that all are front ends to basically open source on the fly video encoders. MrEnigma fucked around with this message at 02:34 on Jul 25, 2011 |

Anybody got a lockup when starting to play a flash video? It's happened to me twice now, have to hard restart, nothing else is responsive even though you have control of the mouse. http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=1196498&highlight= Edit: I'm scared to open flash videos now...

Martytoof posted:Check your Console log and see if coreservicesd segfaulted. I'm exhibiting similar symptoms: Retain mouse control, can drag windows around and interact with them, no keyboard input possible, apps just start crashing after interaction. Happened once when I tried to open QuickTime with Perian (admittedly unsupported thus far) and once yesterday, though I forgot what I was doing at the time. Can't find a segfault. Both times it's happened have been with flash, but with something else going on in the background. This time I was updating two apps from the app store. I'll try to isolate it better next time.

I really dislike preview opening up and showing whatever it was I last looked at... I see there is a hack to prevent it from doing that, but, it seems like there should be something a bit more 'elegant'.

Is there an iPhoto thread, I thought there was but couldn't find one. Anyways, my wife's computer has been having some issues with iPhoto. It started when the drive containing iPhoto started failing. I replaced the drive, and restored from Time Machine backup. I think it restored almost all the photos, however all her videos from 6 months previous stopped being able to play. After verifying the file was in the 'Masters' section, and could be played, I tried rebuilding the library using iPhoto, nothing worked. So I used iPhoto Library Monitor (http://www.fatcatsoftware.com/iplm/) and rebuilt the library. Now here's the really weird thing, it's still missing ~500 files, almost all which are videos. But they all still exist in the Masters section if I go look for them. If I try to reimport it says they are already imported. My theory is that the drive was bombing out, but Time Machine was still able to back up the data, which means some bad data got backed up somehow. I may have lost a bunch of things, but I guess I don't really know. I'd prefer just to have everything working again though. Any thoughts on what I can do? I do have a folder in an old version of iPhoto that has a listing of files, although not sure how to get a list exported out to compare it with the new one and see the file names I'm missing.

If you want to do debugging as well (including SSL monitoring, etc), Charles Proxy is unbeatable. It can do rewrites, monitoring, add headers, modify headers, etc. http://www.charlesproxy.com/ $50 but well worth it.

Bob Morales posted:BackBlaze has a Mac client I've been using backblaze for awhile and it works good. Their newest client auto throttles which is nice, and also seems to not churn my disk as much. For awhile it used to cause time machine to rebackup a lot of things (since it would change it's index, then time machine would have to rebackup the whole back blaze directory). I'm not sure if I fixed that with a time machine exclusion, or the software just got better. The only issue I have now is that every once and awhile I have to go clean out the logs from backblaze, as it'll amass 10gbs of them or so.

DoktorLoken posted:So way back in the day Address Book used to have some bluetooth functionality. It seems that this has been entirely removed from OS X these days. I think you can still sync via bluetooth to address, but you have to do it from the bluetooth side (i.e. set up the connection, and allow the connection to do the address book). There used to be iSync as well, but I think that died in 10.7. BluePhoneElite used to do a bunch of cool caller id stuff, but it's really old and the site seems to have disappeared... http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/16070/bluephoneelite/

DarkJC posted:It costs money to license ActiveSync from Microsoft, not to mention maintenance costs. They don't use it in the Gmail app, I'm not sure you know what you're talking about here. ActiveSync is separate from sending push notifications. ActiveSync gets to run backgrounded, so the notifications are actual "local" ones. Without that support, the app has to handle it in itself. I think the only other option is the long polling imap that was/is offered by yahoo, but not sure anyone else got to do that. Edit: response is a non-sequitur really, but still some good info. I like the ActiveSync

modig posted:Recently (last week or so) using Reeder I've been unable to use my typical pattern of pressing j to stop through stories. On both my MBA (typically full screen) and my work iMac (typically windowed) its like it loses focus from the Reeder window, or at least that part of the Reeder window after a few seconds. If I mash j faster than I can read articles it works, but if I take the time to read the whole post, then j usually won't work anymore. It's not just j, all of the other shortcuts I've tried don't work then either. Very confused about what is going on. This same thing started happening to me on both my macs....if I click back into reeder it works, but otherwise nothing. Annoying!

Star War Sex Parrot posted:I had a "and that's why I love OS X" moment this weekend. Work doesn't require me to travel, so whenever I go anywhere I don't bring my laptop; just my iPad for entertainment purposes on flights, hotels, and such. This weekend I had to head out of town for a family emergency though and brought my MacBook Air with me. Now I expect my iPhone and iPad to adjust automatically to time zone changes. They use location services extensively, have GPS built in, and get time information from Verizon towers. However, I didn't expect to fire up my laptop and for the time to automatically adjust itself 2 hours based on its location. As far as I know, Windows 7 doesn't do that, and I'm not sure about Windows 8. Even better it's an option when you create your account, or in 'Date & Time" so you can turn it off if you want to stay on your old time zone all the time. I think even the calendar app respects the time zone you are in, and auto moves everything around. Pretty great.
