Xabi posted:So, no easy solution unless I wanna pay 80 dollars? Great. It depends on what you define as an "easy solution". You can make VNC over SSH work using free software. Everything you need on the Mac is already there, and on the Windows side just install putty plus your choice of VNC viewer.

Anyone have firsthand experience running 10.11 on a 2009 13" MBP? My buddy is giving me his since I want something that can run Garage Band and will live next to my keyboard so I don't have to keep moving my 2013 rMBP. Going to bump the thing up to 8GB ram and throw an SSD in there so hopefully the only bottleneck should be the CPU/video

Runs fine on my 2010 13-inch but I already have 8GB/SSD and would recommend both.

Has anyone had issues with installing the 10.11.1 patch? I've got a mid-2012 Macbook Pro running El Cap and wasn't able to get the upgrade to work via the App Store. After downloading the patch from Apple, the installer gets to the point where the system tries to reboot, but hangs from there. It seems like Finder doesn't shutdown correctly, or hangs, and interrupts the patch process. Trying to relaunch Finder doesn't work either, and it remains stuck in the "application not responding" state. I've let the machine sit trying to reboot but it is never actually able to proceed, and trying to reboot via the Apple menu doesn't do anything either. I am able to reboot via the terminal (or just do a hard shutdown) but the upgrade process doesn't kick off and instead I'm just booted back into OSX. Any ideas?

My wife's computer is the same, and from what she says, it runs just as well as Yosemite and Mavericks did (8GB of RAM, but regular HDD). She only uses Safari and occasionally Pages, so don't know about GarageBand, but I'm sure it's not gonna be worse with El Cap than anything else.

Seems with uBlock (not Origin), almost every monetized video on Youtube has either an unskippable 30 second commercial, or in the case of one video, an unskippable 2m30s trailer for yet another Tomb Raider game.

At least in my experience, ever since the YouTube Red launch, YouTube ads have become completely ridiculous. It wouldn't surprise me if Google has figured out a way to get around adblock programs for YouTube, and it just happened to start as soon as the new Red service launched. Just speculation from someone who knows nothing about how any of this works.

I thought I remember reading that Safari doesn't allow extensions to interfere with network traffic of plugins, like the APIs just aren't there, and that's the reason ABP couldn't block ads in Flash Player. It should be able to with the HTML5 player though. That was my biggest annoyance back when I tried switching to Safari. Everything else worked, but I couldn't get rid of ads in Flash videos, and I tried eeeeeverything.

I've tried a few of the other options based on the new content blocking, Adamant and I think Wipr but they didn't work as well and they didn't give as much control over blocking as uBlock does. Hopefully there will be better options in the future before there's a Safari update that breaks uBlock.

Yeah, sorry, I mean Chrome Remote Desktop. The only issue I have is there's no real way to increase the quality on it so there's a ton of artefacting. I also use it at home if I'm lazy and on my Windows PC, kinda like a ghetto KVM. My Mini is mostly just a surf-the-net-and-Plex-Server so if I'm going to start a download it's just easier to remote in than futz with plugging in my keyboard/mouse to my mac.

I have two questions involving Macs people here might be able to help with. The first is in iTunes (on multiple Macs on my network) every time I try to download a software update, the update button goes gray, their is a spinning icon near the top of iTunes, and the update never begins to download. Could this be because nobody has installed the new version of the OS or is it possibly a network issue? The other is on my mother's computer in the keychain folder in the library folder, there are more than 2 files (all the other Macs I've looked into this folder have 2 files and an additional folder.) The extra files are names breadcrumbidentifier, login_renamed_1.keychain, and one that's name seems to be a bunch of random letters numbers and dashes. Does is this normal or should I be doing something to fix this somehow? Thanks for any help!

I wouldn't be surprised if it depends on location — that the block lists include some CNDs and mirrors, but not all of them. If that's the case then changing the adblock wouldn't make a difference anyway since you can already choose what block lists you use with uBlock.

I need to run MS project for school starting next week, so I just picked up copy of windows. Right now I only care about running MS project and it's the only piece of software I want to run. I'm planning to pick up either VMware Fusion or Parallels (not sure which yet). How can I minimize the space required to do this? Ideally, I'd love to just run this off an external drive or maybe a thumbdrive. Is that possible?

Right now I only care about running MS project and it's the only piece of software I want to run. I'm planning to pick up either VMware Fusion or Parallels (not sure which yet). You can't boot native Windows easily from an external drive on a Mac, but putting a VM image on an external drive shouldn't be an issue. I mean I'm 99% sure I've done it before. It might be slow, though, get something fast or IO is going to suck. Give it lots of RAM so there's no need to page. You should be fine. Running Windows in a VM on top of OS X is a resource hog so your computer won't be that happy, so bring your charger to class. As for minimizing the space, I think both of the virtualization products you mentioned offer the option of creating a virtual disk that grows with your usage.

How long is the project duration? If a month or less, signup for a trial Azure account and run Project on a Windows VM in ~the cloud~ connected by Remote Desktop.

I'm actually getting my masters in project management so I'm sure I'll be needing it for awhile. Though, you may be on to something. I have a iMac at home with enough space to spare. Then again I'm probably not going to be hurting too bad on the MBP since I got a 512 and most of my big files are gonna live on the iMac.

Am I stupid or is iMovie the most confusing and bug-ridden piece of poo poo ever? It's crashed on me 4 times (pinwheel), hosed my libraries up, and half the options to do anything are always grayed out. Edit: gently caress. Now half my movie is gone after I had to reboot and open my project again.
