I can still use ctrl to zoom in. I've got a trackpad, though. edit: I had to disable pinch to zoom. It works great on my ipad, but on the computer I end up accidently doing it when I don't want to and I'm unable to consistently do it when I do want to.

Astro7x posted:So... I use to have this feature in Snow Leopard, is it gone? It's still there. It lives in Universal Access preferences, and for it to work, Zoom needs to be enabled and a setting in the Zoom section's options needs to be turned on. If it's not working for you despite both of those being set correctly, you'll just have to wait for a bug fix in some future version of Lion. (Personally, Zoom works reliably on my MBP but occasionally quits working entirely—not even the keyboard shortcuts work—on my Mac Pro.)

There it is, thank you! I see it has a bit more advanced options which is nice. Such as just letting it zoom in partially on the screen. Interesting. (Edit: So I can make it full screen Zooming, but not cover up the dock or menu bar, nice!) And I accidentally just discovered something new to me. Holding down Control and Command and scrolling will make the window you are hovering over transparent. Pretty cool.

I know that upgrading a week late means my point of view is really unnecessary, but one more gripe—I used to like running my browser and word processor full screen, which meant that I could just slam my cursor to the right side of the screen and click the scroll bar to jump around in the document. Now the new resize controls mean that clicking there just gives me a useless resize cursor. Any workarounds?

Clicking the scroll bar's fine, it's just that once you get all the way over to the right you're in resize territory. I might just have to throw a "Fitt." ahehahhaha e: Oh, obviously you can just move the window past the edge of the display so that you can still click the scrollbar but you can't actually get to the proper border. Not great but works for me. YO MAMA HEAD fucked around with this message at 03:15 on Jul 30, 2011 |

So I just bought a new shiny 15" MBP and immediately installed lion on it. Once that was done I attempted to install steam. When I attempt to load steam it goes through the updating steam (which downloads about 37megs worth of data) then just starts the download process again. Anyone have any ideas?

Is there a place to manually download Windows drivers? I would use bootcamp, but it gives out some weird error. I can't update OS X, because it's configured to download updates from a specific server.

Okay, navigate here in Finder: /Users/[Username]/Library/Application Support/Steam note: in Lion this folder is hidden by default, so open up Terminal and post this: code:There should be a file called "Clientregistry.blob". delete that and then reopen steam. It usually fixes a lot of stuff.

Is anyone else having a problem with firefox being flakey as all gently caress? At the moment, EVERY time I log into facebook it crashes, and a whole bunch of other pages crash it too. I'm going to try safemode, but this is getting wearying, and firefox is pretty central to my work as a web developer

I must be the unluckiest son of a bitch. 1. Upgraded my 13" MBP to Lion, which is 2 months out of warranty. Now I can't connect external displays to it any more. The whole system just crashes. This is my main work machine, so for the past week I've been coding on the tiny 13" screen. Spaces have actually made this bearable though. 2. Upgraded my 2011 17" iMac to Lion, and I have the horrible bug where playing any video (flash, html5, quicktime, iTunes) will cause the whole machine to lock up. Every time. I really, really hope they fix that video crashing thing soon. It's pretty serious. Though, I am a lot more productive now that I can't browse youtube or watch movies :/

If I've already ejected an external hard drive or iPhone, is there a way to remount it without unplugging and replugging the cable? Something in Terminal perhaps? No reason, just curious.

Grabbing scrollbars with the cursor isn't that hard even if they're set to hide automatically. Moving the cursor immediately after scrolling makes the scroll bars persist longer.

Space Racist posted:Noticing a weird bug with waking from sleep and wifi - basically when I wake the computer from sleep, after a couple seconds the wifi status indicator will indicate a full-strength connection to my router, but the computer isn't able to send or receive any data (e.g., if you load a page in Safari, it gives the 'not connected to the internet' message). Oddly enough, when you open the wifi menu, it only shows my SSID and none of the other surrounding ones as normal. Turning wifi off and then back on clears up the issue. I have this problem too. At first I thought it was the cheap lovely access point I'm using at the moment but if you're getting the same problem with an AEBS it seems to point to it being a Lion issue.

I'm trying to upgrade my Snow Leopard Server to Lion. When I run the installer, it presents me with a message saying 'Waiting for App Store to download Mac OS X Server Add On', but then nothing happens. The App Store doesn't do anything, the download doesn't start, and the installation is stalled. Has anyone else encountered this? I've done some Googling, but didn't find any answers. I'd really rather avoid installing from scratch, if at all possible.

Crush posted:What causes this since it doesn't seem to be for all users? As far as I know it's widespread but only on mid-2011 iMacs. I have not done a clean install though, so perhaps it's something else... It turns out that InsomniaT (a prefpane to prevent your computer from going to sleep with the lid closed) was causing my crazy lockups when connecting an external display to my MBP. I'm incredibly glad I got that sorted before I drove out to the fruit stand tomorrow. :S

japtor posted:...that sounds a lot like a semi old hack called Afloat. You wouldn't happen to have had that installed and forgot about it would you? If it is that, other ways to tell would be Afloat additions in Window menus, ctrl-cmd click drag to move a window, ctrl-cmd right click drag to resize, and ctrl-cmd-A to set a window to float. Well what do you know... I remember installing Afloat a LONG time ago, completely forgot about it until now.

Has anybody had any weird trash problems after upgrading to Lion? Trash seems to take forever to empty, and sometimes it just seems to hang and never empty some files. Now even moving files to trash takes some time. Thoughts?

Granite Octopus posted:I must be the unluckiest son of a bitch. Is the 13" a 2011? The latest video drivers are kind of buggy and are causing people issues. There are people that said on the gfxcardstatus bug report that their 2011 MBP can only do external display on ATI when in Snow Leopard they would work with both. Me thinks a few version updates should fix that. Have you tried chrome in regards to flash/html5? I had that problem with safari on my 27" and haven't really had issues in chrome. Sometimes in iTunes I'll have a lag but I've yet to have a full lockup on my system.

The new "keep apps open after they close" mechanic in Lion has hosed with my Trash behaviour more than once. Both times I downloaded short clips off the web, played them in QuickTime X, quit quicktime and dragged the clips to the trash. A day or so later I try to empty the trash and lo behold "xyz.avi is in use". A quick lsof in terminal reveals QuickTime to be the culprit, despite me having closed all (visual) instances a day prior. Kill -9'd QuickTime and my trash empties just fine. Looks like Apple might not have a QuickTime bug on their hands since I guess it should relinquish all files when it closes.

dexter6 posted:Alright that helped, but I have one video file that is still there that trash says it can't empty because it is still in use. I don't have VLC open anymore...? open terminal: "lsof | grep -i [part of video filename]" will tell you what process is using the file in question Then you can kill -9 [processID] or you can kill it from the Activity Monitor. In any case, see above -- this is exactly what happened to me, except with QuickTime.
