I doubt it'll apply. Your best bet to find out any details about that is to contact AppleCare and find out what they see on their system.

I need an app to move my mouse point around the screen, and click on predefined X/Y coordinates. I know Automator can do this, but I've never made an Automator script. Can Automator repeat such an action on a loop, infinitely? Is there a maximum number of repetitions? Is there a better program you know of for this purpose?

Wow, Diablo 2 won't run on lion. They really need to put a loving sticker on the box so I don't end up spending $30 and popping the box open. Pretty frustrating.

Controller Mate is the gold standard for programming stuff like this in a very easy way although it costs $30 or something. Automator is full AppleScript so could do it for free.

It must have run under Rosetta in earlier versions of OS X. Sucks, but it's kind of miraculous that a nearly 12 year-old Mac game would work on recent versions of OS X at all.

Really I think that Apple should bear most of the blame here. It would be nice for Blizzard to release a fully Intel version of D2 and I'm sure they would if they thought it would be worth it but removing Rosetta from Lion was definitely a dick move by Apple.

Even if they want to stop supporting it they need to let people loving know on the box that their computer isn't going to run it. That's just bad business.

Yeah, it needs to not be featured on sale if it doesn't work on the most recent version of OS X. Still, I think that it had a good run, and I don't resent them for not supporting it after all these years, especially with the new Diablo on the way, as long as they make it dead clear about compatibility and aren't putting it on sale front and center. It isn't that hard to run the game in a VM or Boot Camp, though.

Yeah I know I could work around it but it's not worth the effort. My beef isn't even that Lion doesn't support it. It's the fact that the box is misleading. I think it's a big enough deal that they could at least throw a sticker on it saying "doesn't run on OSX lion."

NESguerilla posted:Oh wait yeah it does. Why would it run on older versions of osx then? Up until Lion, OS X was supporting older PPC software with Rosetta. They announced to developers that they would be moving to Intel and dropping support for PPC in 2005. They have supported PPC for the last 6 years but with the release of Lion, dropped it completely. I know it sucks, but that's the way it goes  Blizzard has to either re-code for the Intel hardware or the customer has to figure out a way to make it work. Either by using the previous version of OS X that still has Rosetta support, or by running a compatible OS via a VM.

As much as that makes sense to me now that you explain it, I still feel like it's something worth letting consumers know. As someone who rarely plays games on PC I wouldn't have known that in a million years and it's issues like that make me not want to touch PC games with a ten foot pole. It's a bummer cause I really wanted some nostalgic fun but I am sure Kmart will take it back if I whine hard enough.

You are absolutely correct, but again, publishers simply don't care about the Mac. They've had at least a year (since the Lion developer betas and the revelation that Rosetta would no longer be installed by default) to do something about this, but nope. They got your money and that's all they care about.

The shocking thing to me is that K-Mart is still selling boxed copies of Diablo 2! If you want to dabble in some games on your Mac, it's worth having a Bootcamp partition - even if you're not a terribly serious gamer, the bottom line is that the vast majority of games are Windows only. Heck, I'm writing this post from my gaming Bootcamp partition!

McFunkerson posted:Serious dick move to actually phase out old obsolete technologies. If I had my way Lion would be a super over bloated mess of 68k, ppc, and intel code so I could run Mac Paint, AppleWorks, Cyberdog, and Mario Teaches Typing. I agree within reason. Apple is a bit too cavalier with these breaking changes. The fact that you can extract and install Rosetta from the 10.6 DVDs proves there's no technical reason they couldn't have allowed it.

I have the newest generation Mac Mini with a USB DVD burner and only became aware recently that Apple didn't bundle iDVD with iLife '11, unless you order a physical copy of it from them. I assume they still provide it with new machines that have a built-in burner. Is there a software alternative to iDVD that is: 1) Free 2) Uncrippled while remaining free I searched and couldn't find any thing that didn't put limitations on burner capabilities if you didn't cough up money for it.

I'm on 10.7.1 and I've just changed from using a Logitech MX Revolution to a G700. The sensitivity is too high, despite being all the way down in system preferences. Does anyone know of a way to get the sensitivity even lower? My cursor still moves too fast.

One of my friends thinks that he has a trojan on his macbook -- it's been running pretty slowly recently and he hasn't been able to update his Mcafee (had to install it to get on a college network). Recently he woke up to find out that his homepage had been changed to usa.com. Google isn't helping, and he says that he hasn't been on anything dodgy site or installed anything. I checked for the fake Flash installer and it's not there, so we're sort of at a loss. Does anyone know any free virus scanner or something we can do to fix this? If this is more for the tech support forum I can move it there, it just seems like it's more about windows viruses than about mac ones.

Just bought Pixelmator. I could get by with Paint.NET just fine, but there is nothing like that, so Pixelmator seems like a nice option. Not very expensive, seemed easy enough to use. I use inkscape a bunch at work, I just wish there were a native OSX version, even if it cost $10 or so. Since most of the time I'm just adding text labels to things, I can probably use Pixelmator for a lot of what I use inkscape for.

I'm looking to switch out my 2011 macbook pro's hard drive to a larger model. Can I just pop my current drive into a usb enclosure and install from that? Lion didn't come with discs so I'm not sure how this works.
