Two things: one, bettersnaptool owns bones and should be investigated for any multidisplay user. Two: the dmg burn trick works on lion final.

El Jackalope posted:I'm downloading Lion for my MBP at home right now, but I have 2 machines at work that I would like to upgrade (they are my macs, this isn't a :files: question since we are allowed 5 installs per Lion purchase) but they are connected to lovely, lovely DSL. Trying to download a 3.5 gig file on those crap phonelines would be bullshit, so can I just throw the .dmg file onto a usb stick and upgrade the work macs via that? Do it before you install Lion on your machine, it will delete the installer after you install it. Strange that XCode 3 works for you, it flat out refused to install when I upgraded.

I can't stand Safari... For work there might be times where I'm doing a lot of copy/paste from context on our backend into the url bar, going back to get a password and then pushing enter on the url bar. In safari unless it's a new window if you click off the url bar everything you typed vanishes. gently caress you Safari. Even with Chrome being "broken" as-is I haven't had issues using it. I'm actually using the Canary build which has fixed scroll bars and they removed the full screen so I guess they're working on fixing it entirely. It's useless on a 3 monitor setup so I could care less and I don't have this stupid Safari problem. Gestures still broken tho.

Anjow posted:Has anyone got sshfs working in Lion, and how? IIRC you need MacFUSE for that. You gotta troll around on Google and find some beta build that someone made because the one on Google Code is ancient as gently caress and doesn't work. If you look in your Console you should see an error message every time you try to use sshfs. Google the error and the beta build should pop up.

Granite Octopus posted:I must be the unluckiest son of a bitch. Is the 13" a 2011? The latest video drivers are kind of buggy and are causing people issues. There are people that said on the gfxcardstatus bug report that their 2011 MBP can only do external display on ATI when in Snow Leopard they would work with both. Me thinks a few version updates should fix that. Have you tried chrome in regards to flash/html5? I had that problem with safari on my 27" and haven't really had issues in chrome. Sometimes in iTunes I'll have a lag but I've yet to have a full lockup on my system.

It was great for resizing apps to use exactly 50% of the screen, then you could rearrange your other smaller apps to use the remainder logically, etc. I don't think your question was answered, but it's BetterSnapTool.

Appachai posted:That's crazy. Do I need to have anti-malware stuff too like ad-aware or malwarebytes? Short answer, no. Long answer, disable automatic execution of files from Safari in the preferences. Reason being so far the malicious vectors of malware have been through websites exploiting this feature in Safari and get the malware on your system. Don't pirate applications as they also have been known to have malware injected in them as well. If your system randomly asks for your password to make changes and you aren't installing an application from a trusted source or doing things like keychain modification click Cancel and you're pretty much protected.

With all the radical changes and breaking of Chrome I just can't take it anymore. I could totally switch to Safari for my browser if there was a way to fix one thing and I'm hoping you guys could help. My issue can be seen thusly: In safari open a new tab and type a url in the bar but don't push enter yet. Switch back to the previous tab and then back to the new tab and the url bar is blank. HOW DO I MAKE SAFARI NOT DO THAT?!

Not sure if this is a software or hardware question, a little of both I guess. Anyways, I'm getting a game which *must* be played on a genesis. I have a plasma tv and don't want to destroy it from the static sprite locations these games typically have and want to play it on my iMac. What is the cheapest capture card I can use on a 2011 iMac that will get a 480i coax analog signal? Edit: I guess if composite can be done much cheaper I could look into procuring a composite video cable as well. flyboi fucked around with this message at 15:17 on Mar 20, 2012 |

Is there a way to remove a resolution from a monitor in OSX? I have two external displays hooked up to my iMac via HDMI because my dvi cables would cause them to artifact like crazy. Long story short Blizzard games always default to 1080i instead of 1080p when I select 1920x1080 on the display which causes the game to look like rear end. There were workarounds for WoW and SC2 but unfortunately they do not work on D3 and require paid software. The easiest method would just be to tell OSX that 1080i doesn't exist on my monitor because I have no use for it. Any help appreciated.

So is there any way to enable the retina display scaling from the MBP on an iMac? I'd buy a second 27" monitor if I could run these at "1080p" and not look like blurry rear end. I use the 720p HiDPI mode which works great, but I need more real-estate for my work apps.

tofes posted:Everything is updated, I even tried installing beta and canary chrome to see if those fix it. Other people are having the same problem: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4028778?start=0&tstart=0 This looks exactly like the crash I was having testing some development stuff in Mountain Lion. I'm going to guess the drivers in the Lion build for MBPR and Mountain Lion are very similar which could cause this. If you *MUST* use chrome, try getting gfxcardstatus and forcing your laptop to the nvidia chipset only and see if it persists. In my 2011 MBP ML would cause kernel panics whenever the integrated/dedicated gpus switched. Really annoying for coding so I gave up working on ML.

Try ditching Firefox and using only Chrome or Safari for a bit and see if it helps. Firefox is a turd in OSX, or at least it was before I forced myself to get used to Chrome 2 years ago.

Lexicon posted:Is it possible to set network interface ordering on a per-application basis? I'm onsite at a client, and I need to be connected to their network over Ethernet, however they must be blocking Gmail IMAP as my Sparrow mail client won't connect to Gmail. When I switch over to my tethered iPhone, Sparrow grabs the mail no problem. That would require figuring out which ips gmail needs to use and then using the route command as root via terminal to force them over the other interface. I.e I use a work vpn and if I do netstat -nr I can see the routes my vpn sets up: code:
route add -net 10.0.0.0/8 123.123.123.123

Lexicon posted:Yeah, I thought about a solution like this, but I was hoping to avoid it because the IPs for gmail IMAP are likely to change on a relatively frequent basis. Is it possible to instead route all types of traffic, rather than route certain IPs? If there is a range that the client uses you could use route to only route those, then everything else through the iPhone

Star War Sex Parrot posted:I can see why Apple is only charging for Mountain Lion. If it cost any more it would be a bit of a tough sell, especially if you're not a heavy iOS user or have a Mac older than a 2011 model. To expand a bit, the iCloud integration is really nice and further enhances the symbiotic relationship between Macs and iPads/iPhones, but if you're an Android user then you really don't care about Reminders or Notes syncing. Too bad full screen is still useless on multi-monitor setups.
