echobucket posted:Here's a fun easter egg. Go into Mission Control or Launchpad and Press "Command-M". This turns on Motion Blur animations. Try swiping left and right. Whoosh! Whoa I am glad that is only an easter egg. It takes away all of the context that makes those animations useful.

That's what I was getting too. Change one of the windows from full-size to barely less than full-size and they'll sort normally.

I don't think I could go back to a computer without bettertouchtool. Quicksilver is in a close second after that. Also it seems like a good time to mention that although Quicksilver was dead in the water for a long time, it's recently been picked back up by some new devs and they've been fixing a lot of bugs. There was a problem with the updater at one point so to go from version B61 to B63 (the current version) you will have to download it manually.

I wouldn't be surprised if that's the case, Microsoft Word drives me crazy on Lion. If i'm swiping past spaces and pass a Word document, then Word steals the focus a few seconds later and it automatically switches me right back to Word. It seems that Microsoft just hasn't made office on OS X a priority at all.

There was an actual flash update only a few days ago, and for a little bit I was worried I had actually installed the trojan. The results from following instructions in here seem to indicate that I'm in the clear though.

Quicksilver rocks. I've said this before, but it's been getting a lot of attention these days from some new devs and is worth checking out.

Laserface posted:Having some trouble installing Lion on a RAID1 setup in a mac pro. 12 core xeon with 2x500GB SSDs. I don't know anything about RAID, but you can make a completely-offline lion installer and put it on a usb key or hard drive partition. It's much easier if you have access to a mac from (I think) before mid-2011 where you had to purchase lion from the app store. Make a bootable installer from older macs Make a bootable installer from newer macs

Laserface posted:Wondering if anyone else has noticed this issue with Mail.app on Lion/ML. I noticed this the other day too. After looking around online it appears mail.app doesn't actually specify your font size in your signature. Instead, it just says the signature font size is "medium" and lets the receiving mail client determine what that will look like. I think outlook is one of the worst offenders and interprets "medium" as a huge font size.

Heads up there is only one day left for the MacHeist nanoBundle 3. It's $10 and includes Fantastical, Path Finder and AirServer among others.

Dixie Cretin Seaman posted:Mac newbie here. I'm trying to get BetterTouchTool set up in Safari so I can tap on the left side of the touchpad to open a link in a new tab in the background, right side for new tab in foreground, center for regular click. Unfortunately when I set this up it passes the original click through along with the cmd-click or whatever, so it wind up opening the link both in a new tab and in the current tab. Is there a better way to do something like this? In Firefox I'm used to Super Drag type extensions that let you do this with dragging links but anything that lets me use just the touchpad would be cool.. Use the tiptaps for opening tabs. I use a single tiptap for switching to the new tab, two finger for opening in the background, and three finger for closing the window. It works well and doesn't click through like you're describing. While we're on the topic I also found setting spaces to use four fingers is nice so I can use the three finger swipe to switch between tabs.

h_double posted:I love me some Preview.App except for one thing. I typically have several PDFs open in it at the same time, which I flip back and forth between, in the same window. The problem is, if I go from document X to document Y and then back to X, it forgets the page number and takes me back to the beginning of the document. This behavior bothers me a lot too. The only workaround I found (although maybe it matters that I'm using Lion) is for you to use function+option+up/down arrow keys, which switches between docs without losing your place.

Are you talking about this? http://www.reddit.com/r/apple/comments/1p25c6/mavericks_changes_mailapp_behavior_with_gmail/ Enginerdiest posted:Just in case you, like me, discovered suddenly your email was going crazy, it's because Mail.app in Mavericks changes the way it deals with Googles wild-rear end IMAP scheme. I'm glad I came across this because otherwise I would have been deleting emails for a long time until I figured out that the delete key was no longer just archiving my emails. It seems you can't have the delete key do anything other than move emails to the trash now.

I'm having trouble updating my macbook to Yosemite and was wondering if someone could help me out. I have a fully updated late 2008 (aluminum) macbook running 10.9.5. The 10.10 install process freezes with 22 minutes remaining every time I try. The same problem happens after I have tried trashing and re-downloading the install file as well as repairing the disk and permissions from the recovery partition. I haven't found anyone with too similar of a problem in the helps forums, and I'm not really sure what the next step is from here. The error log is here: http://pastebin.com/FsLMfQT2 Anyone have a guess as to what's going on? The machine hasn't been acting up in any other way.

Quoting myself from last week. I haven't had a chance to try again until today, but even after reinstalling the 10.9.5 combo update I'm still having the same problem. Is this a hardware issue or is my best bet to make a usb yosemite install and do a fresh install (and migrate from time machine)? I'm hesitant to try that since I'm not sure if I would just essentially end up with zero operating systems.ManPortable posted:I'm having trouble updating my macbook to Yosemite and was wondering if someone could help me out.

chimz posted:It looks like the installer is crashing when it encounters a file on your install disk that it doesn't like. Most likely a fresh install would work. Make sure to have a backup! Thanks! I have a time machine backup and a cloud backup so I'll give it a shot.

ShadeofBlue posted:Does anyone have any experience using Yosemite on an old Core 2 Duo laptop? I have a 2.66 GHz C2D MBP with 8 GB memory. Mavericks runs quite nicely, but I don't think I'd be happy if upgrading would slow it down a noticeable amount. I'm still using a late 2008 macbook (2.0 GHz core 2 duo) and have zero issues with yosemite. It has 8GB of RAM, but the best thing I did for it was put in a hybrid hard drive (Momentus XT). I keep thinking I will have no choice but to upgrade to a new machine, but so far it's kept up nicely considering it's age.

Does anyone know if it's possible to still download the Office 2016 mac preview at this point? They extended it's expiration until the end of October, but I don't see a way to download it now. I want to put it on my wife's machine, because once the standalone download is released I expect she can buy it for cheap through her institution. At the moment the office for mac page directs you to buy the 365 subscription.
