Wait a second, does closing the lid put the computer to sleep no matter if it was on battery or plugged in? Is there a way to turn that off if it's plugged in?

InsomniaX used to do that, but it looks like it's no longer in development. The supported way is to plug in an external keyboard (and a display, possibly) and use that to wake it once you close the lid.

Did the file permission structure change for Mavericks? I use a Print Server at the schools I work at and it's throwing me errors regarding file permissions - acting like the files are open in other programs or that I no longer have permissions to authorize them to be sent to the server. Has anyone else had problems with this? Is there a known fix?

My mother's imac is at the lower end of the requirements to upgrade - 2.4ghz core 2 duo (24 inch). Does mavericks run well at that end?

I think the most intensive thing she uses it for is some light editing in iMovie (not even hd though, just 640x480 footage from her older camera). does imovie get updated with whatever they were talking about w/r/t ilife and iwork?

Yes, iMovie gets updated. And iMovie 10.0 is bugtastic at the moment. But on the plus side, like the iWork apps, the iMovie update leaves the older version in a folder in your Applications folder.

Don't know the best thread for this, since iCloud affects many Apple products. But: How the gently caress do I get Apple to stop sending me warnings that my iCloud storage is almost full? I don't give a poo poo; it's been "almost full" for two months now and they send me an email about it EVERY DAY. There's no unsubscribe option. I'm very tempted to forward them on a daily basis to Eddy Cue's email address until they stop.

I was going to say this wouldn't help me when I'm checking mail on iOS (which is most of the time now), but I googled and to my surprise, iCloud lets you set up server-side filters. Who knew... I'd still love if there was a way to tell them to gently caress off, but this does solve my problem.

I decided to let go of Sparrow's rotting corpse and check out Airmail. It's pretty nice, much like Sparrow only supported and not murdered by Google as of yet. Also at $2 it's a bargain.

Is there a way to show the estimated time left on battery on the battery icon in the menu bar on Mavericks? I see an option to show the percentage remaining next to the icon, but nothing to show the remaining time like you could on previous OS versions.

The word 'lazy' gets thrown around a lot and I don't really agree in this case. Maybe it wasn't on the priority list for the first version of the new Pages, but I'm sure it will be included later. The number of people that have documents created in a 5 year old version of Pages that they never saved in the 4 year old version of Pages is pretty small I would bet. Since everyone has access to Pages '09 still it's not the worst solution.

Look at it this way: Pages '09 had a way of parsing earlier versions so they would open in '09. The same method can be dropped into today's Pages. MS Word can open .docs from the 90s. Come on.

Or they could have just made the design decision to remove that cruft because it's trivial for the incredibly small portion of users who haven't updated their files in the past four years to make a few extra clicks to finally bring themselves out of the Stone Age.

It's ancient and never gets updated but it works fine on Mavericks. You can set it up to just show the hours remaining and put it next to the default battery icon and it's like they never removed that feature.

Arrrrrg. The whole reason I downloaded Mavericks was to fap to higher time remaining on battery numbers than I ever saw on Lion. You'd think with all the emphasis on improved battery life Apple would want to offer more battery stats on the menu bar rather than less. Perhaps constantly recalculating time remaining was draining too much battery..

Yeah the whole "time remaining" is kind of wildly misleading anyway since it's calculated based on the current load. People were likely freaking out when their battery would drop 3 hours as soon as they loaded a YouTube video.

The parallels people email me like every day to upgrade from 8 to 9. I'm struggling to find a good reason. Anyone have any compelling arguments for Parallels 9 vs 8? The company kind of annoys me. I understand building a continuing revenue stream but there's a point in time that they decide they won't fix poo poo in the current version and the new one isn't even out yet... Also I feel like they should fix prior versions and give people better reasons to upgrade to the new one.. not just "Upgrade to Parallels 9 because we fixed bugs we released int he prior version!"

If you're just using Pages on 90% and you see it drop to 2 hours, you know something's up.

What's the easiest way to reinstall Quicktime X? I've been having some weird issues with it that I was hoping that upgrading to Mavericks would clear, but they haven't. I'm pretty sure it's specific to this computer because it works just fine on my other Macs, so I just need to reinstall it. Is there a way to do so without doing the whole OS? EDIT: I just noticed that there seems to be no recovery partition. wdarkk fucked around with this message at 02:09 on Oct 26, 2013 |

From what I've heard this is a ground up rewrite. Some features from Pages '09 aren't even implemented in the new Pages yet. So it's not as simple as dropping it in and saying 'job done', and I don't blame them for cutting it from the design or simply from the release.

(She's on an old 2006ish iMac running 10.6 and the contemporary iWork. Decided to slow down on updating it a few years ago because 10.7 would have required some retraining and it was working fine as is. Was hoping to move her to a new computer soonish; maybe I should wait till a new iWork release to see if they treat it like FCPX and add in some of the missing poo poo over time.)

I have found that Parallels is quirkier with more professional workloads, and VMware hasn't really forced you to upgrade versions because there was a new version of OS X, which I find important now that they are yearly. Also, Vmware is the gold standard for virtualization for Windows, Linux, and enterprise.
