When sharing directions in maps, my iPad that I sold (and removed my iCloud account from, erased and restored weeks ago) is showing up as a sharing option. Is there somewhere else I need to go to deregister the thing from my account?

Works great in Mavericks too. Only issue is for some reason MS Word ignores it, but other than that I recommend it.

I'm gravitating towards Safari from Chrome primarily due to how snappy Safari is now and how it handles certain things much better like Youtube (gifs still suck for some reason?) but I'm having some issues with addons. Aside from no SALR ( ) my addons page is completely blank. I have a bunch of addons installed, but the page shows nothing. I've actually had this issue since Lion, and all the fixes I've found for it have to do with deleting certain com.apple-files which, if I even have them, affect nothing when deleted.

Anyone tried the new iMovie? It copied (maybe hard-linked?) all my files into a library. Having them all in a library (a la iPhoto) is fine with me, BUT: I tried to quit after it (seemed to be) finished copying my events into its library, but it threw up a warning saying "Are you sure you want to quit? Tasks that are currently in progress will not be completed." What tasks? There's no activity window, and absolutely nothing anywhere to indicate any "tasks" are ongoing. I waited half an hour but it still claimed "tasks" were happening, so I left it alone... ... And at some point it froze. I force quit, opened it again, and it still warned me on quit that "tasks" are running. Waited a while and it froze again. Got info on it and opted it out of App Nap just in case (hey, there's a sign it was never built against the Mavericks SDK. Nice and up-to-date.) and gave it another whirl but it still freezes after a while. What are these "tasks"? Is it actually doing anything at all (activity monitor shows it using anywhere from 0 to 15% cpu)? Do other people have this issue?

On Gmail's end, it has the new label and never loses the old one. Very annoying. Well, strangely enough making the All Mail label visible in IMAP seems to allow me to move emails from one folder to another now. Either that or the fact that I got rid of the [Gmail] path prefix did it (I did both at the same time, oops). Thanks ManPortable, for pointing me to a workaround for that annoying bug. Edit: God drat it. I almost praised Mail's improved handling of "All Mail", in that it no longer counts duplicates in "All Mail" in the unread count. But I just tried to search my email, and 50% of the results are marked as coming from "All Mail", even though I know all of my emails are filed into specific folders (or have specific labels, if you prefer). It's smart enough to filter out the duplicates from search; why not return the result that has more specific information attached to it? loving hell. I'm glad I use search infrequently.

Mavericks seems to have done something to the fan control on my 2013 Air. Prior to installing Mavericks yesterday I could play Civ5 on low settings without any issues. Unless the entire screen was filled with units, or I zoomed out to see the entire map, the fan wouldn't be audible. I was also able to switch windows to Chrome and have Civ sitting in the background without any issue. Since installing Mavericks the fan is audible within a couple of turns of starting a new game (few units, barely any map visible) and whenever I switch windows it goes into full jet-engine mode. Everything else is the same as it was prior to installing Mavericks. Does anyone know anything about this?

I'm fixed. Almost. I changed the version number in the plist to 1.8 and I was able to click on 'Download' in the App Store for Mavericks. But it said I need to have the 1.1 SSD firmware installed. gently caress! I tried internet recovery. Which would start up fine, but then give me the message that I needed to install Internet recovery. gently caress! I tried making another user. No dice. Went to my ex's house to get my ML USB stick. Re-installed ML. Then I had to download the 10.8.5 update. Then I had to download the SSD 1.1 update and it installed, and actually did the update process when I rebooted (the whole gray screen with the progress bar). Success! Then I downloaded Mavericks from the app store and installed it. Had to run it overnight since my parents have slow rear end AT&T DSL. I finished up the install this morning and it was stuck on 'Setting up your Mac' for about 5 minutes and I had to go to work so I left. If it's still hosed when I get home I'm just going over to the Best Buy.

twoot posted:Mavericks seems to have done something to the fan control on my 2013 Air. Probably not, because OS X doesn't control the fans directly. That's done by the SMC (System Management Controller), a chip on every Intel Mac's motherboard which runs all the vital heartbeat functions. It uses a feedback loop with the computer's temperature sensors to determine how fast to run the fans, so increased fan noise implies higher temps implies higher power use. Mavericks is a very power focused release, but some of the rules for applications have changed, and it's easy to imagine apps which were already trying to do the right thing getting faked out by some of the new behaviors. Civ 5 probably tries to cap its own frame rate, running faster in the foreground than in the background. If that code is now hitting a bug when you tab out, and the failure path behavior is no frame rate cap whatsoever, that would explain why your fan's going nuts. That's guesswork, but if something like that is responsible, you may actually need a Civ 5 patch to fix it. Could be either party's fault, though. You could also try a SMC reset, since it can't hurt. You can search for how to do this on Apple's website.

Just upgraded yesterday. Mavericks found 20GB of hard drive space  Only bug / annoyance is that for whatever reason my Finder scrolling randomly stops working. Googling tells me apparently other people have had this issue as well, with both Finder and Mail. The fix is to restart Finder, but that only works for a short while, so in Finder I've been using the scroll bar manually.

Until Tuesday iWork was not included in a new Mac purchase like iLife was; it was always a separate purchase either as a suite on CD or as individual apps in the App Store. If you do have an iWork CD laying around you can turn on DVD / CD Sharing in the Sharing Preference Pane.

Or is it an image in iPhoto? That makes the image an attachment, though. I want it inline (as in mixed with the text). Previously I would click "Picture" and it would open Finder and let me pick an image. Now it opens this iPhoto thing and the "iPhoto Preview" that pops up doesn't show any of my images that have been moved into iPhoto (which I don't want to ever have to do anyway). Fake Edit: All of a sudden my "Photo from File" is no longer greyed out. I should've mentioned that, the second option when I click "Picture" was Photo from File which was grey yesterday. So I'm golden now. This Photo Browser thing still doesn't populate my images, but I'll never click that button again.

I'm opening Safari on my second monitor. In Mountain Lion, it would remember the size and position of the Safari window. If I closed the window or quit Safari, the next time I opened a new Safari window, it would be the same size and in the same place. On Mavericks, it resets each time I close the window or quit Safari. It does remember to open on the second monitor, but it puts it in the wrong place (kind of haphazardly off to one side of the screen, but it is consistent in this default location) and is definitely the wrong size (again, it's consistent in the default size, but it doesn't really make sense why it's that size). Related, other apps don't seem to remember on which display they were last being viewed, so everything opens by default on the internal monitor. In Mountain Lion, it remembered which app/window was where even after a restart. So why is the multiple-monitor thing being pitched as such a feature of Mavericks when (other than the addition of menubar and dock) it seems to work less reliably than with Mountain Lion?

God damnit, god damnit! I have a blanket rule to never update from Apple.. why did I think this time would be any different? I hate the new iWork so much. Why didn't I pay more attention to the fact it was a new version when I clicked the update button? Why?! I use Numbers for assembling science posters, but now I can't work out how to have it separate the Numbers sheets into A3 and A4 sizes so I can tell how large I need to make things for the print job. It was a simple little toggle button before, and now its just... gone? It's certainly nowhere to be found in the gimpy new inspector. Also, most of my documents I've opened in this new version have issues with the old file types, so now my templates are all wonky and text is too big for the cells. Removing features is bad enough, but errors in translating old documents? Are they kidding? Pages too! Text boxes have lost their ability to flow into another text box when full.. another thing I used the program for specifically. Opening the documents I had been working on for an assignment have now got one text box too small for all the words in one column of my page layout, and 4 empty text boxes where it all used to neatly be. Sure I can manually cut and paste it back the way it was.. and just decide to never add more text to any full text boxes at the start of my document.. but, christ.. is this something that we accept now? iMovie is another train wreck - where is my ability to shrink clips down to one frame per clip? Now my longer projects are absurdly hard to manage, and my fairly high-end iMac shits bricks when I scroll through it. Plus navigating through my media seems to have become much more tedious, and I'm not prepared to just accept 'I'm not used to it yet'. At least Aperture seems to have remained unscathed from the 'upgrade'.. god-loving-damnit Apple.. it's poo poo like this that has caused me to stop recommending Apple products to anyone. If my photo library wasn't held hostage to Aperture I'd leave Apple behind for good. Can't wait to find out what else is removed or broken when I start to get my end of semester work ready to hand in.
