I downloaded a Windows 7 iso file from my university through MSDNAA and I have no idea how to burn it with Disk Utilities in order to install it. I right clicked the iso file and selected "Burn…" and then went through Boot Camp and partitioned my hard drive for Windows. Now I'm at the screen where it tells me to insert the Windows installation disk and press the "start installation" button. I press it but it tells me the windows installer was not found. I've also tried mounting the iso and burning the contents, but I get this screen:  And I don't know what to choose.

So every once in a while when loading an intensive page in Safari, this happens: It's not due to bandwidth, normally the site's not something super sized and I shouldn't be DROPPING PACKETS regardless. Any ideas?

moron posted: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. If it's any consolation you can just "upgrade" to the client version and then install Server later and have it configure itself from a backup. The easiest way of doing this would be from a Time Machine backup, of course, but under 10.6's Server Admin you can have it backup and export all of your relevant server settings to a plist from the File menu. At least I think it's under File – it's been a few months since I've had 10.6 installed – but I'm certain the option exists since that's how I did my setup.

Oh god no one do what I just did and spam "Duplicate" to make a ton of copies. I did it on a whim only to find that "Quit and Discard Windows" only works for actual saved files and with unsaved copies you have to close each of them, one by one, and choosing "Close All" only brought up the "Do you want to save the changes you made in the document?" dialog on each individual window uuuggghh.

Speaking of Finder foibles: When is Finder going to be smart enough to realize that when I Cmd-I with a group of files selected I want to act on the files as a group, and I don't want it to bring up 400 Inspector windows. Is it that hard to do? iTunes asks you if you want to act on your selection as a group if you have more than one file selected. Just duplicate that behaviour  That whole inspector window needs a huge revamp in terms of functionality, at least in this respect.

So, despite all the belly-achin' I've been doing in my spare time about Xcode, this new release (at least, as far as I am aware) installs Git for you! Hooray, no more having to Homebrew that package. Not that it's a big deal, but it's nice to have it installed via an official method. Also, this natural scrolling has infected my brain. I've had to go and modify my Ubuntu machine to have it as well: http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2011/07/reverse-natural-scrolling-ubuntu-os-lion/ Overall, after getting used to the weirdness, Lion is pretty good. I'm anxiously awaiting 10.7.1 and 10.7.2 for much needed fixes to little(big) things. unruly fucked around with this message at 01:46 on Jul 31, 2011 |

Well this ping had been running for hours and hours so maybe it had to cycle over the ID? That's a good catch though.

ICMP sequence numbers are 16bit, they should top out at 65535 anyway. So that one's cycled through a couple of times (subtract 65536 * 2 from it, pretty much lines up), and the error message is reporting total number of icmp packets sent instead of icmp sequence, which is a bug but does mean that the ping output is probably normal.

So I've been trying the natural scroll movement, and I was really getting the hang of it. I had every intention of making the switch. ...then I turned the Xbox on and thought "why does the menu keep going in the wrong directio– oh". So yeah, natural direction isn't really an option for me until everything is doing it, evidently.

By default OSX Lion (and Snow Leopard) disable the built-in firewall. Is it recommended to enable it, and if so is it a pain to maintain as it seems I'll need to grant every program manual permissions?

I love it with the trackpad, but I was an original iPad adopter so it seems very natural to me. I don't think I would like it as much if I primarily used a mouse.

Mu Zeta posted:Tried this? Hmm, that seemed to do the trick. Two more questions: Why are my signatures so big when I send mail from Mail? I didn't notice it until a friend asked me why I made my font for my signature so big compared to my messages. It doesn't look this way in Mail, but does in Gmail (as shown below). Is it just a problem with Gmail?   Also, my keyboard shortcut (cmd+\) for 1Password in Safari seems to have broken. It still works in Chrome though. How do I bring it back?

Martytoof posted:Oh whoah, thanks a million. That (first one) should be the default behaviour The Inspector was the default behavior until 10.2. People complained about the inspect window because it was a different behavior from how Get Info worked in OS 9 and prior. You can either of these the default behavior. 1. Go to System Preferences -> Keyboard -> Keyboard Shortcuts 2. Go to Application Shortcuts and Add a new shortcut 3. Choose Finder as the Application, type "Show Inspector" or "Get Summary Info" as the Menu item and press Command-I into the shortcut bar. Show Inspector will now be the default behavior for Command-I 4. Optionally add another shortcut for Finder and call it "Get Info" and set Option/Control-Command-I into the shortcut bar. You will have effectively reversed the commands.

Apologies if this has come up before but does Mission Control just stop working after a little while for anyone else until a restart? I've tried the dedicated key, clicking the icon on the dock, doing the gesture and designating a corner to it to no avail. The only thing I can do is click on the separate applications on the dock but that is really cumbersome, especially with multiple windows open and full screen apps.

I'm trying to install win7 through the boot camp assistant in Lion on a new 21.5" i5 iMac. My win7 was downloaded as an iso from microsoft and burned to DVD. I can read the DVD and everything on it looks fine. When it comes time for the install disk though, boot camp assistant says that the install disk couldn't be found. The boot camp docs say if you get this error then to make sure you are logged in as administrator. I'm the only user on this computer and when it asks for my password for admin stuff the password works fine, so I'm pretty sure I am an administrator. Why can't boot camp assistant find the install disk? It's right there in the drive!
