Okay, so in case anyone like me also wanted to re-map their Dashboard key to be the Launchpad key (like on the new MBAs), FunctionFlip is all you need. The TUAW post I was linked to earlier mentioned also using Quicksilver, but that's unnecessary. Just install FunctionFlip, check the box beside F4/Dock, then go into keyboard preferences and you can map Launchpad to the newly-flipped F4 key.

Okay, I used to just swipe left to go "back" in Chrome, and right to go "forward" through webpages. This functionality is broken in Lion and I have no idea how to get it back  Edit: Wow, nevermind, it was right where you'd expect it to be. I just wish Apple gave me more flexibility with assigning gestures.

Yeah, chrome will only work with three fingers. The "fix" I gave is just the only thing that will allow the swiping to work in Chrome at all. Hopefully apple will release an update that gives more options with gesturing.

So far, I'm not really digging the update. Its hard on memory, they screwed up all the gestures and the new features aren't really all that useful.

My question is: how does he restore the old emails from the Time Machine, and after that, where are they located so he can back them up on a DVD? This should be a simple case of opening mail.app, select the inbox then enter time machine from the menu bar It'll then allow you to select messages to restore just as if you were restoring files, I've used this feature before and have to say it's a lifesaver.

Hopefully apple will release an update that gives more options with gesturing. The two finger navigation works pretty differently and has a new API. Chrome would have to adopt the new API to support it. Edit: AppKit release notes, find "Fluid Swipe Tracking". x-virge fucked around with this message at 03:11 on Jul 23, 2011 |

Krakkles posted:The point is that it became less useful to do that FIRST because if I just reinstall SL, I can leave it up and running and downloading Lion, rather than redownloading Lion and then making an install disc then reinstalling it. If it were already on my computer, it would make sense to do that. Since it's not, it's now moot. McFunkerson posted:I know someone brought this up earlier but I didn't see if it was solved. iWork apps start ignoring the keyboard after a couple seconds. Clicking on the desktop and then back will get you a couple key clicks before ignoring it again. Is this just a bug, should I use time machine to roll back to the older version. I don't seem to remember having problems before I updated.

What you want is All Window Expose. shodanjr_gr posted:So I tried Parallels on my sparkly new MBP in order to virtualize my bootcamp partition. Turns out it installs a whole bunch of stuff and takes over file associations for some things on both the macos and windows sides. Is it possible to avoid this aspect of parallels? Particularly the screwing up of associations bit is extremely annoying.... From my experience, it installs some tools in Windows to allow the reading/writing between the different OS'. I haven't noticed it installing or taking over a bunch of file associations on OSX, however. I have a suspicion that you've enabled Coherence which will allow Windows programs to show up in OSX in various places, i.e. spotlight search results. It displays the parallels logo at the bottom of the icons on these. Is my suspicion correct? Personally, I hate coherence mode and only used it once but immediately disabled it after I noticed that Windows programs were showing up in my spotlight results.

It has them grouped by documents opened in Preview, if I understand Mission Control correctly. You should be able to hover over them and flick up (or down?) to get them to spread out.

However, the one thing I miss is, I used to be able to click the scroll wheel on my old mouse to open links in a new tab.. Now I have to right click and choose it from the menu. Is there any cool shortcut to opening links in a new tab with a Magic Mouse?

Okie dokie. 3 days in and I'm genuinely starting to warm up to lion a lot. At first I didn't like it one bit, but thats probably because I'm a stubborn gently caress that is resistant to change. Yeah I changed a few things, fixed the scroll direction, forced it to put the scroll bars back, and shrunk the sidebar fonts, but the fact I *could* do this means apple was aware some of us are just stubborn and catered for us to choose ourselves. Nice. Still not happy about having to change back to ADSL to get around the wireless cap, but oh well. However what I like is the fact that my Snow leopard mac was starting to run like a piece of poo poo when I had certain apps open for a long period of time, and now it runs like the clappers. The performance has shot through the roof. Awesome. Question is: Is there any working software that can detect cats on the keyboard and shut it down. Despite my best attempts, my dear kitty still keeps jumping up and down on my laptop at any opportunity (presumably trying to communicate her coordinates to the mothership) and I know there was some software called "Catnip", but that hasn't really worked in some time now, abandonware and all that.

So I know inverted scrolling has gotten a mixed reception, but as far as iOS style features go, how many people have opted to disable indicator lights for active applications? I've thought about it, but I feel like I'd at least need 8 GB of RAM to safely give no fucks like that.

Molten Llama posted:Keyboard preferences, Keyboard Shortcuts tab, Mission Control. Turn on all the "Switch to Desktop N" options you want to use. They're good and buried. Yeah, those are all set the way I want them to be. I guess the best way to describe my problem is that navigating between spaces no longer wraps around like it used to. In SL, if I repeatedly pressed ctrl+right starting on space 1, it'd cycle through them like this: 2-3-4-1-2-3-4-1-2-3-4-etc. Now with Mission Control in Lion it stops on space 4 and if I press it again I get the "end of the line" bounceback like you do when you scroll to the bottom of a page in iOS.

This may be a dumb question but I am new to Mac. I just got one of the new Macbook Airs today, and the App Store keeps telling me I have updates for the 3 programs in iLife (iPhoto etc). However, whenever I try to update them, it tells me I need to buy them, even though they came pre-installed. At the least I'd like to get rid of the annoying notification telling me I have updates. Anyone know how I can update them, or get rid of the notifications?

Technically, yes. But if you know anyone that has Lion or can get your hands on a Lion boot disk you'll be able to clean install Lion. You'll have to wipe the drive first though, you can't do an upgrade. http://www.macworld.com/article/161087/2011/07/install_lion_over_leopard.html Mu Zeta fucked around with this message at 09:01 on Jul 23, 2011 |
