Here are my notes regarding FileVault in Lion. For reference, Legacy FileVault is the Leopard/Snow Leopard implementation.

I'm sure any Mac with Lion installed can use FileVault WDE. Of course it won't be readable by older OS X versions. Encrypted partitions aren't visible to Windows when using Boot Camp, even with Boot Camp 4.0 software.

Martytoof posted:I thought about that, but I'm a little concerned that I'd be adding a second login keychain. Will it give me the chance to rename it or something? I guess I could just try, but this is the kind of thing where I'd rather err on the side of caution.

Terpfen posted:* Mission Control's integration of Spaces. No need to go to the freaking System Preferences pane to set up a grid layout; just go to Mission Control, click, and drag. Though I do miss Spaces' ability to assign an app to a specific desktop. (I used to have a 2x2 grid and would set iTunes to automatically open in the upper right desktop. No longer.) Terpfen posted:* No Reading List toolbar button in Safari. I hide my bookmarks toolbar, so it's odd that Apple wouldn't have a full-size button that could be added next to the URL bar. Top Sites has both a full size button and a bookmarks toolbar button, so why not Reading List?

I understand your hesitance to use Migration Assistant, but it really is the best tool for this case. I suspect your trouble with the Tiger to Leopard migration were related to the different processor architectures, which isn't a problem here.

Xandu posted:It's a fun program, I wish there was an iphone app for it though, at least to do the scanning. I don't have the patience to hold thousands of books up to my computer. vlack posted:I never much had a use of Spaces before, but I'm kind of liking keeping Mail and iTunes in their own Spaces, full-screen. However, whenever I slide back to my main desktop Space, all my apps are out of order! That is, I expect the app I was just using right before sliding over to look at my Mail Space will be on top of the other apps, and having keyboard focus, but it's not necessarily like this when I slide back.

Currently there is no iBooks app for Mac, only iOS devices. I suggest providing Apple with your feedback. http://www.apple.com/feedback/

It's a new feature in Lion. It isn't advertised much. Essentially, "Arrange by" groups files together by whatever characteristic, then you can "sort by" within the groups. http://www.tidbits.com/article/12320

I think Fusion will use integrated graphics when the 3D display driver is disabled and use dedicated graphics when it is enabled.

I took this advice and installed my own copy of Python 2.7, however when I execute Python from Terminal it appears to be running the version that came pre-installed with OS X. How do I get Terminal to use my version so that I can install Django and whatnot?

Migration Assistant will copy all your data to your new notebook. It will not erase anything on the old notebook.

Try "sudo chmod -R 777 ~" in Terminal. This lets all users on the OS to do whatever they want with your home folder's data. Note this is a very bad thing to do security wise, so if things are fixed after this, repair permissions or manually set permissions back.

Yes I made that clear. For the sake of troubleshooting, it's eliminating a permissions problem with the home folder. If the problem persists, something's really hosed with the OS installation or the user account. Disable SSH and file sharing beforehand if they're enabled.

Obviously you haven't read Petey's posts. He's already tried Repair Permissions among other troubleshooting steps. He has backups, he seems to be the only user on his Mac right now, and he's been advised on the danger of the command. It's up to him if he wants to try my suggestion or not. Or hell, use 755.

You could also try chmod -R 755 on ~/Library/Preferences and creating a new user account to see if that error still exists.

They're awful because they don't use any application already included with OS X (You want irssi? Let's download and compile our own version of Perl for an hour). This can waste a lot of space. The other big problem is they have only certain people in charge of updating packages. With Homebrew, everyone can submit a formula, and the author updates Homebrew all the time. If you need to wrie a formula, it's really easy even if you haven't seen Ruby.

The recommendation remains the same: Fusion for stability but not cutting-edge. Parallels for performance but bugs can appear. Both have free trials so you can decide which suites you better. For Diablo 2, either will work, but I recommend Fusion since it's less prone to breaking after an OS X update.

Absolutely love CrashPlan. It's secure, reliable, and easy. I used their seed service, which was really easy. They ship you a drive and a paid return label, you back up to the drive, ship it back, and a week later your online backups are incremental from the seed.

Yes that's very possible with Disk Utility. Use "tmutil compare" in Terminal to see what Time Machine is seeing as different on your Mac compared to your latest backup.

Boot Camp question: I'm playing through Mass Effect 2 and noticing a lot of graphical tearing. I'm using AMD's latest Mac graphic drivers for W7 64bit, but they haven't been updated since January. Is it safe to use the regular Radeon drivers in Boot Camp? If so, which drivers should I install? Mid-2010 iMac, Radeon HD 5750.

For future reference, you can do that with the Flash preference pane in System Preferences. You can also do it at Adobe's website. Not sure why cookies affected Flash's video playing abilities.
