This is an extremely minor annoyance, but is there any way to make moving the mouse wake the computer when it's in sleep mode? It worked just fine in Snow Leopard, but not Lion. I tried looking under mouse and power options, but I'm not seeing anything.

^^^^ Already discussed. No. The reason they did this was because it was super sensitive in Snow Leopard. Waking computers from sleep if someone farted in the room next door. It will only wake with a push of any key or the mouse/trackpad.Abel Wingnut posted:Safari fails to handle 8+ tabs with any reliability.

I use my Mac mini to share my DSL connection over its wifi to a bunch of different devices. In 10.6, everything worked great. I created a PPPoE connection, then enabled Internet Sharing to share the PPPoE connection across Airport. Updating the mini to 10.7 seems to have ruined that. The PPPoE connection still works (I can get to the internet on the mini), and the wifi network I make through the mini shows up and I can connect to it with other devices, but I can't actually get to the internet from the other devices. Any ideas?

Now that I found an omnibar hack for Safari, the only thing keeping me from it is the lack of "reopen closed tab" that Chrome has that I can map to a BTT gesture. Is there a hack anywhere for this? Is it even possible to hack, or do I have to wait for Apple to maybe implement it one day?

Just got Lion up and running a little while ago. Really enjoying the changes so far, and none of my favorite apps are broken (yet). Also, my god, the magic mouse has improved dramatically with Lion. Gestures seem more responsive and also make more sense (e.g., two fingers left/right to swap spaces, versus one finger left/right to move forward/back), and right-clicking is mind-blowingly better now that they actually let you use the entire right side of the mouse instead of the uppermost corner. I'll pick up a trackpad eventually, but it'll be easier to forego for the time being. e: and smart-zooming owns more than I thought it would.

DirtyWorker posted:Apple has refuted this so many times now. They will never make a computer with a touch screen as holding your hand out to touch the screen would kill you after 10 minutes. :P Errr. Right. That's why I mentioned laptops, and the ability to turn the screen around like a tablet and not iMacs.  I'm not saying it's going to happen, but it makes sense to me for a portable computing device, and the success of the iPad kind of points that way. I know Apple maintains that the iPad and laptops are separate, but v  v

Cyne posted:So when do you guys think Pro Tools and Media Composer are going to be qualified for Lion? Well, it looks like I got the answer to the second question. Sweetwater has a Lion compatibility page for audio gear and software, where they write: quote:• AVID: At this time Pro Tools 9 and earlier versions of Pro Tools software are not compatible with OS X Lion. Avid is working directly with Apple in order to establish full compatibility with Pro Tools 9. A little disappointing, but not too surprising I suppose.

Jack's Flow posted:My Kindle for Mac application is pretty much dead since the upgrade to Lion. It doesn't download titles anymore and I can't even log on to my Kindle/Amazon account. I had the same problem. This may not strictly be related to the OS upgrade: I also changed laptops and restored my old Time Machine backup to the new laptop today. However, this process worked: I deleted the app, deleted the Kindle folder from ~/Library/Application Support/ and redownloaded the app from the App Store. It's working for me now, though I have to redownload all my books.

Before Apple bought Shake, customer feedback drove about 90% of the features we’d put into the product. But that’s not how Apple rolls – for them a high end customers are high-bandwidth in terms of the attention they require relative to the revenue they return. After the acquisition I remember sitting in a roomful of Hollywood VFX pros where Steve told everybody point-blank that we/Apple were going to focus on giving them powerful tools that were far more cost-effective than what they were accustomed to… but that the relationship between them and Apple wasn’t going to be something where they’d be driving product direction anymore. Didn’t go over particularly well, incidentally, but I don’t think that concerned Steve overmuch… :-) DirtyWorker posted:Ctrl+Z to much to push?

Mid 2010 MBP (Core i5 2.4GHz, 4GB RAM) here. Safari handles tabs like a champ. I've had up to 20 open so far, no issues whatsoever. Have encountered the iOS-like "we flushed this page from memory, but now that you want to see it again we'll reload it for you" behavior a couple of times. No big deal.

I guess I thought they might want to cut us some slack given that PT 9 hasn't been out all that long, and that they continued to ship old Mboxes with 8 even after it was introduced. Oh well, the upgrade fee to 9 isn't outrageous, but I was hoping to be able to delay it just a little bit.

Anyone else with an MX Revolution (or similar) mouse and 10.7? I'm trying to bind the "search" button above the main scrollwheel to launch Mission Control, but none of the button selections in SysPrefs launches it. So far I managed to bind it to the thumb wheel but that's less than amazing. Also other stuff like the thumb <- -> buttons to actually behave like back/forth buttons in Chrome/etc. Any recommendations?

So I'm going to do a clean install because I have a ton of old apps and cruft built up from my SL install. I know that I can burn a DVD from the DMG; however, if I just download Lion and doubleclick the app, will I have the option to erase drive & clean install? Or must I go the DVD route?

Do you really expect to be able to wipe a system while it's running? I also did an in-place upgrade off the .dmg, so that will be nice for doing multiple machines.

Going to walk downstairs and get a blank DVD now  e: crap, forgot the optical drive on my machine has been freaking out and not recognizing DVDs. I can probably find a thumb drive - but has that been confirmed that you can just pop the DMG on a thumb drive and it works? For that matter, could I just put the DMG on an external USB HD and boot from there? Or are these thumb drives apple is shipping some kind of special deal? e2: found directions! http://www.yourdailymac.net/2011/06/how-to-create-a-bootable-mac-os-x-lion-installation-usb-stick-or-external-hard-drive/ Petey fucked around with this message at 02:55 on Jul 22, 2011 |

Did dragging change in Lion? What I am trying to do is double-tap an icon, but except for releasing on the second tap, dragging instead. That's how I dragged things in Snow Leopard, but it doesn't seem to work now. I found "three fingers to drag" in System Preferences, but, what? Is that the new way of doing things? I feel like I'm learning to walk again.
