royalejest posted:Is there anything wrong with loading up an iMac with mismatched RAM? I've just done that myself and everything I've read suggests it shouldn't be an issue. The only real advice I've seen is to place the same amount of RAM in each bank. So you'd have: Left ------- Right 2GB ------- 2GB 4GB ------- 4GB Something something about double channel bandwidth.

iMac 2011 owners: Lion specific: If you bring your computer out of sleep and go to watch a video it'll likely freeze with the cursor still moveable. Seems widespread: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3194165

Kilometers Davis posted:I've had this 4-5 times since I got my iMac on Friday. I just wanna watch porn Steve. I just turn my computer off instead of putting it to sleep. One of the guys in that thread thinks the video memory isn't getting cleared before sleep, and when it wakes up Lion thinks it's free to put poo poo in. Seems like plenty of Apple engineers are contacting people asking for logs though, and one said they were working on it over the weekend. I hope they patch it early next week.

Kilometers Davis posted:That makes sense actually. If it's true it should be a fairly easy fix for them. Looking at bit more a few of them are saying their 10.7.2 developer build has it fixed. That has iCloud built into it though, so I'm not sure if Apple would want to release it straight away.

Jolan posted:Does anyone have any gaming experience with the 27" iMac with the core i5 processor and the 2gb graphics card? I'm thinking of getting back into games when I start a more quiet job, and I'm torn between heavily upgrading my old rig or going for that iMac with a Windows dual boot. So how does that iMac perform game-wise? Runs Crysis 2 at 1920x1080 on high/ultra, was running BF3 Alpha at 1920x1080 on high, everything else is fine. Like Zeta said, don't expect to play on the native resolution.

a bad poster yall posted:Anyone doing any design work on the Retina MBP without an external monitor? What's it like? 200% zoom in Photoshop should be equivalent for web stuff, just make sure your documents are sized correctly.

Retina MacBook Pro Top Tip: If you've got folders in your dock, right click and change them to display as 'Folder' instead of 'Stack'. Apparently displaying all those icons stacked on top of each other causes low frame rate when swiping between screens/using Mission Control.

Jealous Cow posted:Went to look at a MacBook Pro Retina at the store today. FYI it's 2880x1800, and Photoshop CS6 doesn't support retina yet. They showed it off at WWDC but there's been no ETA on the update. It will be amazing for designing retina iPad and iPhone apps when its out though.

fart blood posted:What bothers me is Adobe is only implying a Retina update for Photoshop, and has mentioned nothing about Retina updates for their other apps. It would be loving terrible if they didn't update it till CS7 next May or whenever.

Took my rMBP in today to get the screen changed due to image persistence. Should have it back in a few days. Protip: Take a photo of the checkerboard test ( http://www.marco.org/rmbp-irtest.html ) and the resulting persistence before you go. It's generally at its worst after a few hours of use, which is hard to show in a few minutes at the Genius Bar. I showed how badly it was appearing in Photoshop and the guy was cool with changing it.

Hooray, they replaced my Retina LG screen with a Samsung one. Color profile was a little warm so I grabbed this one. All is good.

rsjr posted:Just took my rMBP 15" in to get the screen replaced due to image retention issues. Got to the point where closing my browser would leave an afterimage on the screen for 3-4 minutes. The guy at the store tried to talk me out of it, saying this was normal and expected from an IPS display, kind of funny. I explained that I design on it and had a photo showing how bad the checkered pattern looked test after 3-4 mins. Guy was totally cool with changing it, even though he said it only just failed their "image retention test". They want to ward off any inexperienced users because it costs them ~£450 to replace it. If you sound remotely knowledgable about the issue, they usually won't risk trying to bullshit you. I did get a Samsung screen as a replacement. I imagine they stock more of them, or at least have some way to identify them so users don't come back for future repairs. Hardflip fucked around with this message at Jan 5, 2013 around 15:38 |
