Well, the App Store COULD install apps somewhere in the user's space (say, ~/Applications/) without needing an admin password if it wanted to. It doesn't give you that option though.

Any other people with a dev account a bit concerned by the very minimal changes in the 10.8.1 seed? Unless it comes with more changes by release, I don't see it fixing many of the bugs in the current build... But then I've never analysed pre-release updates because I don't have a separate test machine, so is this their standard thing? Add incremental bug fixes to dev seeds of updates?

A standard user account should be able to buy and install apps (other than system updates) without an admin account. It works for Linux, why doesn't it work here.

When speaking of MP3s, are bitrate and size a linear relationship? I have 88.4 GB of music on my computer, in 320KBps CBR MP3 format. I need to buy an iPod of some flavor as i'll be working on a ship for a year. If I went to, say, 160KBps, would my music now weigh 44.2GB?

Polymerized Cum posted:When speaking of MP3s, are bitrate and size a linear relationship? If it's CBR, yes. You'll probably want to use VBR or AAC though; VBR will reduce the bitrate in portions of the MP3 that don't need it, and AAC offers better quality for the bitrate all the way around. You'll lose a little fidelity when transcoding, but converting from 320 Kbps will probably not sound perceptibly different.

Since I upgraded to Safari 6, when I click a 'go to new post' button on the forums, it scrolls to about 5-6 posts before that. Is this a safari issue or something that needs to be added to the forums code?

Is this a safari issue or something that needs to be added to the forums code? I pointed this out the day Safari was released... It is because Safari loads the textual potion of the page, jumps to the anchor where the new post is, and then loads images which make the page longer without making sure the spot you're at stays in view. This was how Safari 3 and earlier (iirc) used to behave, and it was annoying as gently caress. I was so happy when they finally fixed it. Now it's back  .

Speaking of Safari6 annoyances, how about how the blue loading bar "finishes" itself when the HTML is done, not when all the images have loaded as it did in v5? Any way to fix that, too?

In Mountain Lion I've got an issue with outgoing mail using Apple Mail. The only way I can get mail to send is to strip out all attachments. Any advice would be appreciated.

Ok, heres one - I have a Mid-2012 (new) Macbook Air on 10.8. I enabled FileVault and now my login preferences are just not taking. I had a username and password prompt before now its the list of users. No checking or unchecking will turn it back. Is there a plist file I can nuke so this stuff takes? I already tried repairing permissions with no luck.

This is the FileVault preboot screen, not the login window. I don't know if there is a way to change it.

Umm, did something change with Safari so that the address/search bar only shows the base website address until you click on it? Like right now if I glance up it just says "forums.somethingawful.com" and when I click on it then it shows the full address. It's a bit different and annoying.

It shows the forums.somethingawful.com in black text, and the rest is in grey. Maybe you just have trouble seeing grey text on a white background?

I mostly forgot they even exist, to be quite honest. It would be neat if the little notification icon lit up when there was something to see, though. I'm still on 10.7 here in the office and to be frank I'm not really sure I'll go through the trouble of upgrading until Apple actually make stuff stop working with Lion. 10.8 is really nice and all, but as a daily driver I'm not noticing any of the new features.

Lexicon posted:They do? I'm enjoying them... one of my favourite features of ML, and a really nice inclusion to OS X generally. Agreed. The only problem is that not enough third-party apps use them. I'm sure that will work itself out over time though. I'm using Hiss to put all my Growl notifications into Notification Center right now. It's not perfect, but I think it's acceptable as a temporary solution. Martytoof posted:I mostly forgot they even exist, to be quite honest.

Yeah I haven't bothered upgrading either. It's got what, notifications? The airplay stuff seems cool if you have an apple tv, which I don't.

You are all forgetting that an option exists to return Expose to its unmolested form. That sole feature was reason enough for me to upgrade!

When I click the "Applications" folder on my Dock in 10.8/Mountain Lion (or any dock folder), the mouse wheel scrolling seems all off. It use to be quicker, with a little bit of over-shoot. It would scroll the page 1 row of icons at a time. With 10.8, it scrolls very slowly. How can I get the Dock folders to scroll like they did in previous versions of Mac OS X??

I logged into a 10.6 system, and each scroll was more like a Page-down. Before 10.8: Quick flick to shoot down the list, click my app. 10.8: I find myself flicking half a dozen times while the jerky Applications window scrolls down. It seriously takes 6+ scrolls to get the same spot 1 or 2 did with previous versions.

For those of you in the enterprise world trying to get Macs to play nicely with Windows file servers (especially DFS shares on Active Directory), I've been playing with the dev build of 10.8.1 at work and whatever they've done has made it super fast to connect again like it was in earlier versions of Snow Leopard. Pathing through folders inside network mounts is pretty much instant now and DFS targets resolve pretty much straight away. If you're using the FQDN of your server to connect it'll mount in under a second but if you're relying on DNS suffixes it takes a little longer. The only thing it still doesn't do properly is set the AD search paths in Directory Utility but that's really a minor annoyance since you can manually do it through a script when you bind to AD.

Somewhere in the last 250 pages or so I remember reading a recommendation from someone about a mac network management client. Something you could use to take care of and maintain a giant network of macs including doing remote software installation stuff, etc. Does that spring anything to anyone's mind?

In the earlier DP releases, the icon was a (somewhat ambiguous) dot inside a circle, and the dot became blue when there were unseen notifications, so the code is probably already in place and it just needs an icon change.

Since upgrading to ML, my mid-2009 iMac is behaving differently WRT sleep/standby. It used to wifi-sync all my iDevices when I plugged then in at night, regardless of when I last touched the computer. Now I have to walk to the machine to wake it up. WTF? Anyone know how to get this back the way it was?
