Binary Badger posted:Pretty interesting article about Internet Recovery mode, another new feature of Lion: Holy poo poo this owns. If you replace the drive on your new MBA or Mac Mini, you just boot up to Internet Recovery mode, connect to wifi, authenticate your App Store ID and it re-installs Lion for you over the internet. This is the future man.

frunksock posted:I bought and upgraded to Lion on my MBP. I also have a Mini running SL Server because that's what it came with (I don't think I actually use any Server features). So, since my understanding was that buying Lion for one machine entitled you to upgrade all of your machines with it, I proceeded to try to upgrade the Mini, however it's telling me that since I have Server installed, I have to buy both Lion and Lion Server for $80. I believe Lion Server is a $50 add-on to server, not a stand alone product. EDIT: Yup, from the App Store:  EDIT 2: I guess I misread your question, I have no idea if there's a way to downgrade OSX Server. You might be able to pull the .DMG like you can with the Client OS and do an Upgrade and Install option. FCKGW fucked around with this message at Jul 22, 2011 around 03:48 |

Actually a found a helpful document Apple has already created on exactly how to migrate from Snow Leopard Server to Lion Server http://images.apple.com/macosx/serv...ating_v10.7.pdf Space Racist posted:Also, is it just me, or can the mouse no longer be used to wake the display? Not talking about full sleep, just the screen being turned off. Not just you, moving the mouse no longer wakes the screen. You have to click the mouse or tap a key now.

jink posted:Guys, if you have your dock at the bottom iTunes is leaving space for it. On my system I leave the dock at the left and amazingly there is a left side 'gap' in fullscreen mode. The fullscreen for iTunes doesn't take over the dock area. I have the dock on the left and that's not the behavior I'm seeing. Fullscreen mode works properly for me.

ndrake posted:I'm jealous. I'm on macbook air connecting to an airport express (apple gets all my money) and when the computer wakes up it only finds my network 20% of the time. My mbp with snow leopard has no troubles. Just so you're not thinking you're crazy this happens all the time on my Mid 2010 Macbook Pro. I also have an AEBS and I get a connection back from sleep about 20% of the time. It also happens on my 2009 iMac, although less frequently. I also have a 50/50 shot of my MBP not waking up from sleep, so I seem to have a few of the worst bugs some people are talking about

Since upgrading to Lion I'm having a reoccurring issue of the ability to adjust the sound being lost. The sound still works fine, but I cannot adjust the sound using the keyboard or dropdown on the menubar. Repairing the permissions on the drive and restarting seems to resolve the issue, but it will come back later that day or the day after. Here's the system prefs:  I'm almost positive it's a Lion issue. Is anyone else seeing this issue?

japtor posted:Yeah for the machines that can work with 4GB but not actually use it, they still report the full 4GB installed. I think the actual usable amount is 3.3GB...not really sure how someone (OWC?) figured that out but that's the number I remember over the years. "About this Mac" will show the amount installed while Activity Monitor will show the amount accessible.

Yargh posted:I've done what I can, but I'm so lost, I don't know where else to get an answer. From some Googling, it looks like you may be one of the lucky few who have a trojan on your system, specifically Trojan.OSX.DNSChanger.B. What "trojan finder app" did you run? Was it legit? You can try downloading some removal software like http://www.iantivirus.com (site is run by pctools/symantec) or the DNSChanger removal tool. Let me know if that finds anything, I'm kinda curious to what bug you have.

Not as nice a bundle as years past, but if you're in the market for Toast it's a fantastic value.

xie posted:People who know more about Macs than me: If you're really serious about this, it would be invaluable to have a Mac on hand to learn and walk though the nuances of the OS. A few-generations old Macbook or Mac Mini can be had for under $500. Just make sure it's an Intel processor and it might be a good idea that it be able to run Lion. As far as books, Apple has official books for their Training and Certification program. They're pretty thorough, and cover all the subjects like Apple Hardware, OSX Lion and Server, and also the pro apps. http://www.peachpit.com/promotions/...px?promo=135631 It really depends on what your job requires, but I would pick up the OSX 10.6 and OSX Lion support essentials books and maybe the Mac Hardware and Mac Security books.

MacUpdate Holiday Promo Bundle is going on again.           
Not as "must-have" as previous bundles, but a solid pack anyways. TotalFinder, IconBox and Mac DVD Ripper Pro are all things I've used or am using now, they're all great. If you needed any of these things, now would be a great time to buy. FCKGW fucked around with this message at Dec 5, 2011 around 18:48 |

Just got this in my email. Macupdate is doing their promo bundle again and this time it's not half bad. $50 gets your eleven Mac apps.            VMware Fusion, Drive Genius and PDFpen are pretty solid apps. Be aware that new versions may be coming out soon which is why they're so cheap. I'm still using the version of Parallels 3 I got many years ago from this bundle.

Suggestions on some cheap accounting software for Mac? I've got some affiliate sales online but it's very small, only a handful of checks a year. I'd just like to keep track of income and the small month expenditures so I can better prepare the taxes due and write-offs come April.

chupacabraTERROR posted:If it's really such a trivial amount of transactions, why not just track them in Excel/Numbers? I use Quickbooks myself, which is totally overkill for something like this, but I think most accounting software requires decent accounting knowledge to automate everything, while Excel can be used just to track balances manually. Yeah, that's what I'm doing now. I was just wondering if there was anything in the ~$20 range that would be more of a pleasure to use. I think I might still have some old caopies of iBank or whatever else was in the MacHeist bundles.
