And poo poo there wasn't even an IT department, I was just the only developer that knew anything about anything non-programming

I will have you know that I am very smart and attractive, which is course why I use macs. but for real, I am just trying to find some sort of solution to this issue, I just recently started here and I am far and away the most knowledgeable person about macs and their use in an enterprise environment. It's been 6 years since anyone with any background in macs has worked here and we have a few hundred mac users, all of whom have local admin rights because of reasons. Also doing this while trying to reverse years of history between IT and everyone else fighting a sort of cold war because most people within IT here have refused to attempt to work with other departments, instead of dictating poo poo and talking down to everyone. If I came off as dismissive I didn't intend to, just trying to find a way to make everything work and maintain various requires compliance stuff. I found a third party driver for HP printers that some people have had success with on High Sierra. I have a fixed the smb issues with high sierra 10.13.2 on the image I am building so thats not an issue at the moment, just have the weird HP xshow thing to try and figure out.

The wiki entry's not bad: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Launchd

Pivo posted:launchd is like a mix of a daemon controller and crontab Sorry I'm still not quite clear on one thing. From my understanding, launchd is an automated services for your computer. So you might use it if you wanted to delete some files in a folder every day at 9:00pm. I assume 3rd party applications can and do use it for the same reasons as well? Like Safari, iTunes, etc. I guess I'm asking if I see launchd or launchservicesd taking up a lot on my Activity Monitor one reason could be in fact because of a current application I have open that's using it right?

Yes, third party applications do use launchd. Yes, a third party application may have installed a user agent or created a scheduled task that is failing poorly. Check Console.app for log spam, or use the trial version of LaunchControl to see if you can't find any obvious culprits.

No idea if this is the right place for this, if not please shovel hot coals into my anus. I have a list of book titles in Excel for Mac followed by their year, like My Tank is Fight (2006). I want it to sort alphabetically while ignoring "the" at the beginning of titles, so The Scarlet Letter would be sorted under "s." Is there no simple way to achieve this?

This is definitely going to be a stupid question but since I've used a mac with a trackpad for over a decade, gently caress it I'm flying blind here. I'm switching to a mouse . I was used to pinching the trackpad to open the apps menu or whatever that screen was, and the rest of the swipe gestures to switch screens (two fingers up, then left or right, etc). How do I map these to mouse buttons or keyboard combos?

Bob Morales posted:That's the issue. Upgrading Mac OS fucks up a lot of stuff. Hey this program doesn't even work anymore! Windows shares aren't working now! The printer broke! Some random other thing quit working! We only have 3 Macs, 2 on El Cap and 1 on Sierra (it's newer than the other two), and we're not spending all day troubleshooting their bullshit. When the last marketing director left we got all new staff and I should have forced the fuckers to all use Windows. Two of the people we have now can barely use a Mac in the first place. It's bad enough working out Outlook issues (use webmail, it works in that!) I thought you were being a dick until I got to the bolded part. We got snowed on that deal a couple of times. I NEED A MACBOOK. Yeah sure. And then 200 calls because they are completely lost and can't install Visio.

My first time playing with Samba. I've set up Samba on my Pi, and am trying to access it through OS X. I don't know if this issue is OS X related or Samba related. 1. In Finder - Shared, I see my raspberrypi and a folder called films that I've setup. However, clicking on the films folder shows nothing. If I double click it it says "The operation can’t be completed because the original item for “Films” can’t be found." 2. If I use Connect to Server, put in smb://192.168.1.123 it tells me that I'm attempting to connect to the server, I tell it to connect as Guest, press connect, it shows me Films as a volume to mount, I select it and it says "There was a problem connecting to the server 192.168.1.123" In smb.conf I have code:

You know what would be amazing. If I could have chrome sync its tabs to iCloud just like Safari under OSX so that I could open them on my phone and vice versa. I just cant move myself away from Chrome on OSX as I am tied to it on Windows as well, as horrible as it sounds I would almost take a safari for Windows at this point.
