Zenostein posted:I kinda figure that fullscreen is meant more for laptops, especially the airs, with smaller screens. This is correct. The feature is primarily meant for laptops. Of which I have one. So I'd really like to have the video fullscreened on one desktop, allowing me to gesture over to another desktop if for some reason I have to do something (respond to an IM/email, for instance).

Safari 5.2 Update 4 is out. Looks like it fixes the "dragged images save as webloc" issue, as well as the graphical glitching in the tab area.

Not sure if this exists.. but I'm looking for a OSX Emulator "Management\Manager" application. Essentially, I'd like to load any ROMs from one interface and also, open zip\rar files, and have the game boxart if possible.

I have a really weird issue and I'm not sure what to do about it. We have a shared network drive on a Windows 2008 server, that 4 Mac OSX machines in our office connect to. The Windows 2008 is an active directory server, but we haven't joined any of the Macs to the domain. We just use Finder -> Go -> Connect to server -> \\servername\share, then type in the username/password for them to get read/write access. The Mac users make heavy use of the label color feature of OSX on folders to mark specific things. The problem is that 2 of the Macs see one set of colors, and 2 of the macs see a different set of color. Mac A: 10.7.3 Mac B: 10.7.4 Mac C: 10.7.3 Mac D: 10.5.8 Macs A and B can see each other's color labels on the share. Macs C and D can see their own color labels on the share. If I change a folder to yellow on Mac A, it's visible instantly on Mac B, but not on C or D. If I change that same folder to green on Mac C, it's visible instantly on D, but on A and B it's still yellow. All 4 macs are signing into the network share using the same username/password. All the permissions read as drwx------ user group. The group is the same on every mac. The user is different on every mac. I don't understand why there seem to be 2 different sets of color labels on the same folders. It's driving me batty.

But the info it pulls will be from that website's project. It's sister site (which isn't anything at the current time) archive.vg is where all that info will be taken from, and it's going to have some kind of API for other apps as well.

I'll be buying Coda 2 from the MAS as soon as Apple allows me to throw my money at Panic. I've been using Coda 1 nearly every single day since it was released. It's minor bugs have become tiresome, so I've been greatly looking forward to this update. The only thing I'm not sure about are the large tabs on top. I was hoping they would follow in the footsteps of espresso and have a vertical list of open files or something. Though knowing these guys they've probably done a good job of it. Diet Coda looks awesome too, and will be a day 1 purchase as well. For $10, why not.

Quick question, or request for regression analysis at least. After a great experience so far with my 13" MBA 2011, I am currently planning on getting my first iMac when the next refresh hits (or at least when they can ship with Mountain Lion, whatever comes first). If I buy a new retail iMac with Mountain Lion on it, would that give me access to upgrade the MBA's OS for free as well? What if I bought an iMac at such a time that they did the "we'll give you a code for the new OS via the MAS when it drops" for it? I know no one can know for sure, but how did this work for Lion's drop? Basically just wondering if I could look forward to the extra gravy of a free OS upgrade on top of all the other benefits of switching to a Mac desktop for the first time, is all. If not, well, there's still plenty to be excited about, and upgrading the MBA certainly wouldn't be too costly if the upgrade is worthwhile.

Yeah, like I said certainly not costly, but it was just one of those points of ecosystem synergy that jumped out like "hey, I could use the included wireless keyboard with my iPad" and "hey, I can have Steam on it so maybe I should buy Assassin's Creed Brotherhood while on it's sale for $8". Didn't make the time limit on that last one. Anyway I just recall that when you bought Lion via MAS last year it let you install it on like 4-5 systems, hence why I ask.

Just, if you're getting it on a new comp, you're not getting it through the MAS. And when they did the "if you bought it during such and such time you get a free upgrade" they tied it to your Mac's serial and you could only install it to that one machine. Still, $29.

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.

I have quite literally spent months looking for a solution and haven't found one. Sorry to be the bearer of less than promising news. I've tried all manner of resolution editors, hacks, workarounds, and nothing Although I will say this: I used to have this problem when I enabled "fullscreen" in TF2. OSX would immediately kick into 1080i mode instead of 1080p. Though the last time I tried TF2 it didn't seem to suffer from this anymore, so perhaps this is something Blizzard has to do on their end. some kinda jackal fucked around with this message at 18:45 on May 22, 2012 |

Safari is being a little bitch lately and freezing up. 'Safari Web Content' is consistently hogging 20-89% of the CPU and keeps making Safari beachball until I force quit, it's been doing this all day. quote:13:54 up 5 days, 5:47, 7 users, load averages: 1.25 1.19 0.99  I don't want to restart.

Hit a really weird Safari bug: I can't download any .dmg files any more. Happened out of the blue, Safari either just displays a dark grey background or loops back to the download page when I try to download a .dmg file. I've disabled all extensions, reinstalled Safari and reinstalled OS X Lion with no success. I can't download another browser to find out what's going on because Safari won't let me do it. I don't have any download managers or anything installed that might cause this.

kim jong-illin posted:Hit a really weird Safari bug: I can't download any .dmg files any more. The easiest way to test if it's account based is to make another user account through System Preferences->Accounts, log into that and try and download a .dmg file in Safari. If it works fine, then the preferences on your normal account are busted. If that's the case you can try resetting Safari's preferences by selecting the Safari menu and clicking on Reset Safari, making sure everything's ticked then hitting Reset. If that doesn't fix it, you can manually recreate the preferences for Safari by opening Finder, holding down alt/option, clicking the Go menu and selecting Library (since it's hidden by default in Lion), opening the Preferences folder, dragging the com.apple.Safari.plist file to the desktop and then opening Safari and trying a .dmg download again. It's probably best to have Safari closed while doing this, and you may find that some of your basic settings revert back to defaults. Give it a try and let us know how you go.

I just wish I would've known about it before!

Mercurius posted:When you reinstalled OS X, did you use time machine to copy your user account across? It sounds like the preferences for Safari are broken and if you restored your user account (or are still using the same user account from before the reinstall), the preferences won't have changed so you'd still have the problem. This is the reason I only back up my documents, desktop, and downloads folders with TM

Bob Morales posted:This is the reason I only back up my documents, desktop, and downloads folders with TM As an aside, I find that VMware Fusion is currently the best virtualisation software on the Mac for performance, but I prefer Parallels' interface and features. If you use Fusion, you should check out VMware's 2012 Fusion Tech Preview and give them feedback on any bugs you find so they can fix them before release. The Tech Preview does a really nice job on virtualising Windows 8 and Mountain Lion if you're looking at playing or testing with those.

For anyone who is curious about VMware Fusion, you can get access to the Tech Preview for the low price of $0 until it expires, if you want to play around with it. Granted you are running beta software, but it has been absolutely rock solid for me, and I'm running an ESXi lab on it. http://communities.vmware.com/community/vmtn/beta/fusiontp2012 So: Free VMware Fusion beta to use until Oct 15 2012. Standard "this is beta software" caveats apply. some kinda jackal fucked around with this message at 03:50 on May 23, 2012 |

I don't know, my ML VM is at work and I'm not there right now. Somehow I doubt it, though. Posted mostly for the benefit of someone who might be interested in trying Fusion without paying for it until October. Not sure what you're using now so I can't really comment on whether it'll be better or not.
