Doctor Zero posted:Got an answer from the official Apple supplier of our university. I've already discussed this with my Edu reps a few weeks ago. If you are part of the AELP program, you'll be covered for installations on any computers that are part of the program. How you acquire Lion is up in the air, but once you do, you can use the disk image trick and use it to install or make images from and deploy it out to the remainder of your computers. If you aren't part of AELP, you'll need to get AELP setup. http://images.apple.com/education/pricelists/pdfs/20110621_Education_AELP.pdf I'm not sure how it will work for Enterprise yet, I'm just getting in to that today.

Martytoof posted:Oh whoah, thanks a million. That (first one) should be the default behaviour The Inspector was the default behavior until 10.2. People complained about the inspect window because it was a different behavior from how Get Info worked in OS 9 and prior. You can either of these the default behavior. 1. Go to System Preferences -> Keyboard -> Keyboard Shortcuts 2. Go to Application Shortcuts and Add a new shortcut 3. Choose Finder as the Application, type "Show Inspector" or "Get Summary Info" as the Menu item and press Command-I into the shortcut bar. Show Inspector will now be the default behavior for Command-I 4. Optionally add another shortcut for Finder and call it "Get Info" and set Option/Control-Command-I into the shortcut bar. You will have effectively reversed the commands.

Wow, this is long, but I went and played with both versions of Preview to really study the changes and find out why this is such a problem for some.amf5 posted:I meant "no, try it" as in "no, try it and you'll see that export is not a functional equivalent of save as". Yeah, if you're just switching output formats it works similarly, but if you make a change and want to save it as something else in its original format it won't let you. Also, I don't know if this is a bug or if it's intentional, but if you're using export and change directories, then change output formats, you're put back into the original directory. It's a pain in the rear end and seems like an attempt to fix something that wasn't broken at all. So, I just did this. I downloaded a picture from the internet and I cropped it (and I did other things too). The very first thing it says to me is this:  So then I select Duplicate and it creates a new one with just my crop. Then I close it (the duplicate) and the Save dialog comes up and asks me to name it, what format I want, etc. All the things the old preview save dialog box with the added benefit of preserving the original. Then I went back to the original, and chose "Export", and aside from a few less formats being able to be chosen, the file is exported. It seems the argument that people don't like the fact that "Save As" closing the old version and open the new one with no real communication that this change has occurred has been removed? So, in Preview: - Duplicate is "open me another file so that I can make it different." - Export is "save a copy of the current file as some other format." - Save As... was "close the current file, place the new file where I asked to save it, and then open it" I agree, it's 1 more step. I agree, it seems you can't export to as many formats as you could in the old preview. But it seems way more logical. You always know the status of your file. Fake Edit: I did even more testing on this. Every file I used said "- Locked" - I cropped the screenshot without being prompted to duplicate first. Then, the word "- Edited" showed up at the top of the screen. So I closed it. - Reopening it, I got the cropped one, but I was able to use version control to get back to the original. - So I exported the original, and again, despite having less options, the only difference I see between Preview 5.0.3 and Preview 5.5 is that the exported copy isn't the one that was open at the end of exporting using Preview 5.5. - I then duplicated it, cropped it, and saved it successfully and I don't see how it's any different*. *BUT IT MAY BE FOR SOME and here's my reasoning: I think where some of us are "confused" by this is our workflows are different. Previously, when I knew I wanted to make a change to a file, but keep the original, I duplicated it in Finder first and then edited the duplicate. I did this to make sure that I had a different copy. I didn't rely on "Save As" to make a proper copy. I think some people's workflow was open the original, make changes, then they want to save a different copy, so they went to Save As after making the changes. I always felt that doing it this way made it too easy to screw up and do Apple-S while working and save changes to the original that I didn't want to make. My new altered workflow only requires me not to go into Finder to make my duplicate first, and I feel this is really nice. This is 1 extra step (an alteration of your workflow) if you were in the "work in the original first" camp. It's making your originals safer. This and version control. This is just an alteration of your workflow if you were in the "make a duplicate first" camp. Shin-chan fucked around with this message at 02:03 on Aug 4, 2011 |

x-virge posted:"Locked" means that the application won't auto-save changes on top of the existing file. If you start to edit the file, you will get the dialog you saw above. You'd just have to explicitly say you want to begin auto-saving over the existing file. Yeah, I learned what that meant while writing it that but felt the paragraph about that made a long post even longer and wasn't relevant to what I was trying to convey. I should go remove the sentence about not knowing what that meant. And I do like that feature as well, but I have a feeling it is going to cause a lot of headaches explaining it to end users (who am I kidding, every time we update something we have to re-train end users  )Thanks though, your explanation was clear and hopefully will help others.

Alfalfa posted:Not sure if this is software, hardware, or network related but figured I would start here. When you add the printer are you adding it through Bonjour or are you adding it direct IP? The way I've always experienced it is that if you add a printer with Bonjour, it will look only to that connection (subnets and stuff). So if you added it when the computer is wireless, it won't find it wired and vise versa. Try adding it as an IP printer.

Jolan posted:I do not want Text Editor to re-open unsaved documents I had open when I quit the application. In SL, I would just hit cmd-Q and discard changes, so that next time I opened the app, I got a blank slate. In Lion, I only have the option of not saving previously saved documents, so all unsaved documents that I had open will have to be manually closed one by one to prevent them from returning upon opening the app again. And this sucks immensely. How can I fix this? Hold down Option when quitting to select "Quit and Discard Windows". Use the Keyboard Shortcuts feature in the Keyboard preference pane to permanently make Command-Q "Quit and Discard Windows" for either text edit or all apps that support it.

I think the C2D mini came with 10.5. If you buy it once, you can install it on any computer in your house that is supported. You only need to install 10.6 first if you plan on upgrading the computer vs. wipe and reinstall. Also make sure your firmware is up-to-date.

Whats the official line from Apple when granny wants to upgrade her 10.5 Mac without opening packages and disk utility. Building a Bootable Recovery Disk is: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4848 As you posted in your article, you technically are supposed to do 10.5 -> 10.6 -> 10.7 or 10.8. If you want to get to 10.8 without 10.6 and without opening Disk Utility you're at a loss because at minimum you are going to have to use Disk Utility to wipe your 10.5.x drive to install 10.7 or 10.8 from the Apple sanctioned Bootable Recovery Disk (unless there is an erase + install option, but I've not seen that since 10.7 came out). Or, locate someone with a 10.6 disk, upgrade, then download ML and install. Otherwise: DO THIS. It's super easy and we've all got one.

Sonic Dude posted:This isn't always the case. We do lots of data transfers at work, and even moving through an external with permissions ignored, if we don't reset the owner then we get a call from an irritated customer. Maybe it's something different about how we're copying the data, because we use cp (since the Finder adds an oddly-huge amount of overhead when copying lots of files)? The only way I can think of that you would get shortnameA from the origin computer onto a destination computer of a user with shortnameB is that you setup the destination computer into target mode (or copy to an external drive and then install that drive into a machine) and use the origin computer to do the file copying. In this case, shortnameA would own the files. That said you are correct, you should double check the permissions of the files on the destination machine, but since he's dealing with an ex I'd say it's her problem.

You only need to be able to enter the password on the Mini for the first boot (or if you remotely reboot it), it doesn't require a monitor. If you're the only user setup with filevault access, the password field will be selected, just enter the password and press enter. Drop a sound file in your login items to confirm logging in is completed if you want. Is there a reason you can't just leave the machine powered up? Are you losing physical access?
