Really? I had no idea that beta software might have issues. I thought that the beta tag meant it was super special!

Some people, especially those whom would be the type to use alpha or beta software, tend to want to find out if a problem they are having is localized or is a wider issue. It goes along in a process called troubleshooting that is used by many Information Technology Professionals to solve many computer problems.

I was troubleshooting. Several people described their issues and I diagnosed the problem: using beta software.

Solved. Shall we move on then?

I have run into an issue with 10.11. I know its beta and thats all good, but when I came home yesterday apparently my computer had crashed and rebooted, and since then I can't play any blizzard games. I can play dota2 and civ (thats all i have tried) but any time i load up any blizzard game the screen glitches(flashing, crazy colors), but only in full screen. if i command M and go to windows mode it works fine. The only other thing that is messed up is on my login screen to OS X the font is messed up. Unreadable. All other functions appear to be working perfect. Its something with full screen mode. If i move the game to my second monitor the same thing happens.

I have tried to do first aid on the SSD. I did the command D and did the online system check and it came back 100% fine. I cleared my pvram. So I assume that somehow my installation of El Capitan is messed up. Is there a way to repair it? Or is there a way to reinstall it from the app store? Trying to avoid a good old wipe clean and start over if I can.

Sounds like a graphics driver issue. Hopefully it's not hardware-related, but to find out you'll probably either have to wait til the final release or restore/wipe back to 10.10. Unless you could boot 10.10 off an external drive and try your games there.

Yeah it works pretty well's all I'm saying. I have a lot more N64 ROMz than I care to admit and they do alright on OpenEmu.

But maybe I'm just comparing it to the darker days of emulation where you could emulate Mario 64 and Ocarina of Time and were in good shape.

Apparently I am know going to be doing some programming now, starting in Ruby on rails, but apparently moving over to iOS as well. I have not done any coding in forever. What do I need? Some Japanese guy says the Atom is like awesome, and has Plugins already set up for the Japanese market, but I am willing to listen.

If there is an editor with built-in text expansion that would help because I cannot type. Also something that picks out typos for me would help.

If not, what's a good text expander?

Free as in beer would help, because this is all out of pocket on my side, but with my typing, I assume I will have to pay .

I vaguely remember something about Macs getting confused if you replace their stock hard drives and it takes longer for them to "find" the new disk, making the boot times seem longer. But that might be something else completely

I have a question that I thought would be easy enough to google an answer for, but alas...

Say you have a group message (imessage) with people (all on iMessage), and one person leaves the conversation. if the person is brought BACK into the conversation X messages later, do they see the messages they missed?

Like googling, I've only seen that if you have a group message, and add someone into it, they only see the conversation from when they were brought in. However, in the scenario that a person was in the conversation, and then brought back in, I want to know if they'd be "brought up to speed" and given all the messages they "missed".

Can anyone say for sure?

Can't say 100% for sure, but I THINK the only iMessages they'd see were ones sent to their devices. So no, they wouldn't be caught up. I don't think Apple stores conversations on their servers, they just pass messages to the people who are in the group conversations at that point in time.

Probably a stupidly simple question, but I'm not finding exactly the answer by googling: if the hard-drive on my MacBook is pretty full, and I'm routinely backing it up with Time Machine (and have a second Time Machine drive that I more occasionally run in case my main one is broken/stolen), am I generally okay to delete old photos off of my main computer and just figure I can pull them off either of my Time Machine drives when I want them?

Okay, so big picture Time Machine isn't for long-term storage of stuff you don't want to keep on your laptop, it's just for "my laptop got crashed/stolen, I'm hitting the button to dump everything from my last TM sweep onto my new computer" ?

So if I want to have a drive where I keep things long-term that I don't keep on my laptop, I just need to click decline when it asks if I want to format the new drive as Time Machine?


I'm uploading my 6,000 photos to Amazon Cloud now. Just to make sure I'm not totally off here: once I have all those photos securely on Amazon Cloud, and I also have them on an extra drive that, although I have it set up as TM, I don't routinely plug it in so I should be able to just transfer it all to a non-TM drive later. So at this point I should be safe to delete all those photos off my laptop and free up that ton of space?

That sounds about right. Although if you use iCloud for storing photos, you can tell Photos.app to optimize space on your machine so you can keep low-res versions of the images on your computer and the library sort of grows and shrinks depending on your free space available. Although that might not be ideal for you.

So, a quick update...I managed to get the disc out of the drive and it's a 10.6.7 install disc. I can boot from it but it refuses to install, just giving a generic "This cant be installed on this computer" ( I'm paraphrasing the error) type of error, nothing really specific.

If I recall correctly, some OS X install discs came with certain models of Macs and weren't compatible with all models as a generic install disc. That disc might be from an iMac or something and the previous owner of the Macbook tried using it and gave up.

You probably need a generic Snow Leopard disc. I would just pirate it and put it on a thumbdrive or something.

Yeah, iPhoto is dead and was replaced by Photos earlier this year. Photos supports syncing your entire iPhoto library to a device, provided it has enough space.

If the device doesn't have enough space to hold the entire library, the device will cache and delete local copies of the photos as needed.

I'm on 10.10.5

I downloaded an app (Flinto) from the web, but my trial ran out so a few days ago I went to the app store and bought it. However, when I go to the "Purchased" page in the app store, it shows as "Waiting," and instead of Open it gives me the option to Pause. Pause isn't clickable. If I go to the app's page in the App Store, the Install button is greyed out.

The app shows in my launcher, and I can run it - but it won't let me because of the dead trial. So it's like it's not recognizing my purchase, and is stuck. I've restarted. Ideas?

Maybe the App Store is trying to overwrite the trial version in your Applications folder and failing for some reason. Try deleting the app entirely and then installing it from the App Store

Remember, if it's not cheap poo poo garbage, then you are being ripped off 100%. Always buy cheapest. If its not cheap, it's probably Apple trying to chic-gently caress you right in the rear end in a top hat.

Is it really going to be a problem?

If you wiped the device, then no problem. Wiping the drive means that all iCloud/iMessage sessions are gone, so the person you sold it to won't be able to sign into your iMessage at all.

Also iMessage activations are unlimited unlike iTunes so you won't hit a limit with your next device.

Apple really needs to do something about the extraordinary amount of time their updates take. I've got their top of the line MacBook Pro dammit with 512GB of their fastest SSD, the update was only a hair over 1GB, and it still took like 15 minutes after the download and restarted 4 times. I get they're probably running a bunch of stuff like verifying permissions yada yada but you'd think the update would go quicker when there's truthfully few files being replaced. It makes me put off these updates because I *hate* restarting the computer.

I mean, I remember installing OS/2 Warp off of floppies, so it's not as bad as it could be, but it could be better. Even Windows updates are faster...

Woah, woah, woah. Slow your roll, boys.

First, it's not a major update, it's a minor update. Four reboots and that silly progress bar that says "40 minutes remaining" and then counts down a minute every second or so is silly, then just hangs, that's a bit wonky. Also I downloaded the update faster than it took to actually install it. I guess it is a minor complaint. It's just one thing I think Windows does better, their minor updates take basically no time at all.

Anyhow, as to what's wrong with me? I dunno, ask a doctor, but I have a lot of state that gets lost, a lot of remote drives mounted over VPN, bunch of terminals open to a bunch of remote machines, having to reboot means having to gracefully close all of those things and then claw my way back. It's annoying. It's not the end of the world, it's just frustrating. I really wish it was handled more gracefully than a reboot loop and inaccurate progress bars. I'm OK with losing my state, but the process still makes me want to put it off.

whereas in the Windows world, most people (that I know anyway) either don't upgrade to the lastest OS for at least 6 to 12 months, or at least accept the concept that they're "test piloting" poo poo for that first 6 to 12 months.

Especially true now that Microsoft fired their QA staff and now use their users as guinea pigs.

Anyone? I've got 2 machines on 10.11.2 and they're both doing this. Tried an old iMac running Yosemite to make sure I'm not insane and yes it's Fn+Delete to forward delete not shift. There doesn't seem to be any option for this in Prefs.


The only other thing I've found searching for this is on Stack, but again no answers just WORKS FOR ME

This is the worst

Oh, it seems you're running beta software. That's probably the issue.

Does anyone have a copy of Windows Phone for OS X they can host or send me by any chance? Version 3.11 to be exact.

It appears Microsoft pulled it from the Mac store because they are no longer developing it... but I need it to sync my Windows Phone.

I spent the last couple hours searching the web, but most sites just link to the mac app store which no longer works. It's a free app, so I don't think this is a piracy request or anything.

Does it show up in your "Purchased" tab in the Mac App Store? If it's the same as the iOS App Store, then you should be able to download anything you've purchased, including pulled/removed apps. Not 100% if it's the same as iOS though.

Yeah, mine has Scheme on my external drive when I click Erase from the top level drive too. Maybe try erasing it once and see what happens?

Since El Capitan my mouse frequently stops working until I restart. I have a Logitech wireless that works fine generally but for no apparent reason just stops working as though it was suddenly unplugged. I can't find any cause for this at all. Did El Cap change something about this?

One of our interns is having similar issues with his Logitech wired mouse since updating to 10.12.2. Maybe some sort of hosed up driver?

It's also okay to run updates on FileVault machines without unencrypting, right?

From what I understand, updating with encryption on is fine for minor releases, like 10.11.2 to 10.11.3, but not fine for going from 10.9.5 to 10.10.5, for example.

I don't think that this is true
