How does the Mac version of Chrome stand up? I currently use Firefox over Safari but was thinking about replacing it.

Looking to upgrade to Lion for the release of iCloud but still worried about some compatibility issues and overall useability. Ideally I would split my partition, install Lion clean and fresh then move everything over and finally delete my original partition and resize. Looking above this doesn't seem as simple as it sounds (due to the recovery partition). Anybody have an easier method?

Been using TuneUp (beta) to try and clean up my disastrous music collection. Prior to that I was using MusicBrainz Picard. Is there another solution that uses GraceNote or freedb that isn't as brainless as TuneUp (and performance horrible) or as technical and clumsy as MusicBrainz Picard. TuneUp would probably be great if my library didn't consist of >40GB of songs over a wide variety of metadata including rips I created back in ~1998 and have since had the CD collection go up in a fire.

I did a fresh install of Lion on my Late 2009 13" MBP and have been getting pinwheeling and hard locks every so often. Anyone take a bat at what it could be? TOP doesn't reveal anything hogging too much of a particular resource but I never had this issue with Snow Leopard. Hardware vs Software anyone have an idea where to start looking?

Holy hell my university internet is fast. I was at the library and did the software update. Took ~1 minutes to download ~1 GB. The install however took pretty long... probably >10 minutes after everything was said and done. I did worry that my computer would never turn back on at one point when the screen went black due to inactivity.

Don't know what is going on but ever since Lion I've been getting pinwheels OFTEN. I've thought it was FireFox but even using other browsers I still get pinwheels and also realized it was happening in practically every other application. Is there some sort of magic that I should know about? I did a clean install of Lion about a month ago and never had any sort of issue similar to this with Snow Leopard. The fact it happens often makes me think it is the HDD but it is less than 6 months old, never had issues before, passes all test utilities I can throw at it with flying colours. Is there some sort of cache I can clear out or secret Lion option I can turn off?

Barack Pwnbama posted:Do you have an external hard drive or multiple hard drives in your computer? This happens to me when an external drive spins down and then it will pinwheel when it spins the HD back up. For some reason there is a lot of things in Lion that make the hard drive spin up, seems to happen way more than Snow Leopard ever did.

Well, a while ago I posted about constant Pinwheels. I believe I've narrowed it down to the replacement HDD I put in a while back. I have a Western Digital Scorpio Blue 640GB drive which from the numerous reports on several other forums and groups has major issues with Macbook Pro's. Even disabling the Apple SMS, as the WD drive itself has a shock monitor, doesn't fix the issue. I can only assume Apple slipped in a firmware update or that Lion only made the issue more apparent. Hardware issue? Software issue? I'm lost at this point. There are a ton of quick fixes but none seem to address the issue completely  I guess I'm in the market for a new HDD unless I want my laptop to beach ball every 2 minutes for no good reason under practically zero load.

So WD is sending me a new HDD even though the one I have is technically fine, just has known issues working with Macbook Pro's (EFI issue). They also upgraded it in size and performance model so as much as I wanted to say "gently caress YOU WESTERN DIGITAL NEVER BUYING YOUR poo poo AGAIN" they remedied the situation so tastefully I will probably recommend them. Rarely does a company get back to you, trouble shoot then give you a great option in <3 days turn around. As to a real software question: Where/how can I sort my download folder automatically? I'd like it done OS side, not just with a browser plugin. Primarily I'd like to send PDF's and maybe some other files to a specific folder.

What would be the easiest way of converting my entire video library. I essentially want to bring down file size while keeping image quality as best I can. I would also like to amalgamate the filetype used. Currently my library consists of .avi, .mkv, .mp4, etc... best option for compatibility would probably be to convert to .avi/xvid. Tried handbrake as it does everything else pretty well but doesn't fit the bill in this case. I want something where I can drag dump a queue of files in and have it spit them out to a folder. Ideas?

So I asked before about how to move PDF's that land in my download folder and had great success with Automator (though it does bork-up from time to time). Does anyone know of a solution to unobfuscate the filenames? I'd like a solution that can either pull a title from the metadata or try and search for a title. I think I might be asking too much, though Mendeley Desktop does something similar -- I'd like something that works in the background.
