Anyone have a fix for Microsoft Communicator 13.1 and 13.1.1 crashing upon sending or receiving an IM? A colleague said something about a special release, but my google skills are weak today... Continuing on the Microsoft track, I'm hoping the Lion improvements in Mail and iCal will finally allow me to ditch Outlook for Mac...even the 2011 version kinda sucks balls.

Millions posted:Can anyone confirm if Lion has any troubles with HyperDock? No problems here - the author pushed out a good number of updates yesterday and did a major version numbering change for Lion. Version 1.1 is supported under Lion and I've got build 1.1.1. x-virge posted:Choose one of the options that includes the three-finger gesture: oh god thank you!

Is filevault encryption going to screw my ability to share docs and such with coworkers via drop box? Or mess with the contents of the folder so that others aren't able to view and whatnot?

gregday posted:The FileVault2 in Lion is completely different than the old FileVault. It encrypts the whole disk at the logical volume layer instead of the volume format layer, so HFS+ doesn't even know it's encrypted. In other words, nothing whatsoever will be different from a user perspective. Kickass, I thought that to be the case but wanted to double check. She's encrypting now, going pretty fast...thanks!

echobucket posted:Well, I hit my first big software incompatibility with Lion. Office Communicator 2011 crashes when you try to send an IM. Downgrading to build 13.0 will fix this for now - builds 13.1 and 13.1.1 will both crash when sending or receiving an IM.

Am I missing something with Filevault 2 and Time Machine? It looks like I can encrypt my backup drive, but it says it must erase the drive first...which kind of makes the whole time machine thing not work so well. Any tricks to get my existing backup data encrypted or do I really need to start from scratch?

Oneiros posted:Assuming that is your TM backup drive, it appears to be formatted using the partition scheme for the old PowerPC macs (APM). It needs to be GUID and as far as I know there is no non-destructive method to convert between the two. Well that's stupid. Thanks for the info! I don't have a huge problem blowing things away and starting over but I figured it would be best to at least check. Cheers!

I've been running an Intel 320 SSD for a while now, which has been excellent. Recently, I ran the couple commands to enable trim for the drive in Lion. I confirmed after rebooting that the controller saw the feature enabled and haven't thought about it much until today. I was showing a friend how to enable it, and where to check that the change took - I see that the controller on my machine is no longer showing trim enabled. I thought this was a one-time change, can anyone comment on how to make this stick? Should I worry about it on the 320?

markus876 posted:You probably enabled TRIM before installing a 10.7.x update (which contained an updated version of the kext you modified and thus overwrote your modified version with a newer "stock" version that did not enable TRIM for your SSD). Ah-ha, good call! I didn't think about the patch, thanks!

aherdofpenguins posted:Is there a way to just completely remove spotlight's "top hit"? It's never what I want. 99% of the time I want a dictionary definition or an app to open, but 99% of the time spotlight's top choice is finding some random use of the word I typed in the spotlight bar in an e-mail I received like 5 years ago. There's an option to change the order in which results appear, but that does jack poo poo nothing since spotlight's top hit always comes first and it's always wrong. Have you tried something like Alfred? I use the free version as a Spotlight replacement and never looked back. http://www.alfredapp.com/

Sad Panda posted:Anyone else not that fond of El Capitan and SIP? I liked XtraFinder. As someone who came from Windows, being able to press enter to open a file is just natural. I don't see why cmd + o is somehow a better option. I also want my folders back to the top of the list. I've been missing XtraFinder and TotalTerminal quite a bit...considering turning it off but that doesn't seem like a great idea either.

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?

enojy posted:I'm really starting to hate how finicky Messages.app and syncing messages between devices can be. It seems like I'm diagnosing some issue at least once a week. Like today it stopped syncing, so I jumped through my iCloud/iMessage account cycling hoops, but with no dice. Then I remembered my power went out yesterday, and my MacBook decided to reconnect to my 2.4GHz access point instead of the 5GHz one, which is the one my iPhone was connected to, thus causing the sync issue. Argh! That's weird that would cause that issue. I've got one mac on 5.0, another on 2.4, and my phone on 2.4 and everything syncs alright. It is pretty annoying trying to fix issues when they do come up though.

For some reason Outlook 'forgets' the password and then proceeds to get me locked out of my corporate account. I don't save my Outlook password and instead enter it every time I launch the app. This seems to work best for me, no more locked accounts and no more hell of going through the motions when it is time to change passwords in AD.

gariig posted:I just started using a Mac at work but I still need to Remote Desktop into a Windows machine to get work done. When I'm remoted I'd like the command key to always be forwarded to the Microsoft RDP client so I can use Window key combos like (Win + left/right arrow, Win + tab). I found Karabiner which can do some keyboard mapping, but I don't see how to configure it to just send the key combos to the app and not to the OS. Any clue how to do this? Jump Desktop is really, really nice. It might be a tad over kill if you're only connecting to one RDP session, but worth looking into.

Violator posted:Are there any Mac apps to handle Amazon browsing/links? I've been collecting links for stuff on Amazon I want to research/buy for a while in a folder, and I'd love a way to browse them more easily than poorly descriptive link names. Like if I enter an Amazon link, it pulls up the description, price, reviews, etc. in something that I can browse easily in something that looks like the iTunes UI or something. I know there used to be programs where you could catalog the stuff you own. I either create wish lists on the amazon, or place the items in my cart and click on the "save for later" link. A pricetracker app like camelcamelcamel might do what you're asking, too

I've got a mid-2015 macbook pro and am having bluetooth problems. All of the sudden, bluetooth is dropping out, and is listed as "not available" up in the menu. When I try to open the preferences, I get the "it is not available to you at this time" error message. Googling lead me to try and delete this .plist file under /Users/<users>/Library/Preferences/ and doing a shutdown/restart which worked for a couple days. But yesterday the problem started again and I'm wondering if anyone has other ideas?

GutBomb posted:For ad blocking network wide I use a raspberry pi running something called pi hole. All of your dns requests go through it and it just rejects requests for ad networks and trackers and replaces it with blank content. Works great for ads, sponsored stories on news sites, and it works on every device on my network and it's not trackable by the sites themselves so you never get a "disable Adblock for this site" pop up anywhere. It's really cool. It of course requires a raspberry pi and a router that will allow you to select a new default DNS server to route all requests through but I already had one lying around. well that's an awesome idea!
