For those with 13inch rMBPs, how is the performance with screen space maxed? Do Mission Control/fullscreen animations play well/at all? Part of me assumes they must since Apple shipped the product, but they also shipped laptops with GMA950s, so I have no idea what to think.

Yep, all the animations seem fine to me. It's really useful to have this option available. Some great uses for it.

My understanding of TIme Machine is that it backups my whole hard drive so in case it crashes, I can look at my backup and just start from where I left off. I would rather just want something that automatically backs up specific folders that I can just drag and drop on a new computer. Is there a software that does this?

There isn't a facepalm big enough, but I just realized today that you can drag and drop directly from the spotlight dropdown. And then I figured of course, if you just hold down command + click, it'll reveal the location of the file in the finder. Anyways most people probably know this, but figured I'd mention it for the few that don't. It's a time saver, and so much better than running search in the finder to find the path of a file.

Previously I'd just let spotlight finish then click the "show all results" or whatever button at the bottom then sift through to find the real file. This will be a huge timesaver

I'm looking to extend the life of an external backup disk, and one of the steps I'm taking is to unmount the disk from OS X every time it is done backing up. This should prevent things like read/writes from the drives (which should obviously increase the mechanical parts lifespan)... but does a disk spin up/have activity if a disk is unmounted? Is unmounting a disk post-backup a non-needed step?

My LaCie Porsche drive never stops spinning, no matter what.

It's also a feature of the USB spec being used- if it's a USB 3.0 drive, there are now idle, sleep, and suspend modes in USB 3.0. The good USB 3.0 controllers will auto-sleep a drive if it detects no significant I/O activity coming from the host, like the ASMEDIA chipset in my super cheapo Inland USB 3.0 enclosure does.

Something that has bugged me since I purchased my Macbook Air, when I highlight text and immediately start typing the first few letters that I type are automatically highlighted and then deleted. Has anyone else noticed this bug? For example: if I write "hello world" and then highlight it and start typing "goodbye world" it comes out as "odbye world". This only seems to happen with drag highlighting, if I double click to highlight a word it works fine.

Has anyone else noticed this bug? I got my first Mac earlier this year and have been experiencing this as well. It seems to only happen if I drag highlight from right to left AND start typing less than a second or so after highlighting. Doesn't seem like that huge a deal, but if I'm working quickly it can be very annoying. Googling hasn't yielded a fix, so I've just started getting used to highlighting left to right. Edit: Just did a little more testing. It seems to be a problem with 3-finger drag. Click dragging with the trackpad and using a mouse don't cause this. Also, dragging left to right doesn't work as well as I've been thinking. I've almost always had to highlight to the end of a line so I didn't realize it's buggy as well. If you left-right highlight in the middle a line and type, it'll start selecting entire words to the right of your highlight. For example, I type "hello world and stuff" left-right highlight "hello" and start typing "goodbye" and it comes out "goodbye stuff."

Sounds like either a defective trackpad or keyboard (I've seen dozens in the past two years) or you might be wearing some jewelry that's interfering with the pad (rings and bracelets can do this) or you are using some kind of emollient on your hands/fingers that's also causing issues. Might want to make an appointment at the nearest Fruit Stand and take it in as they have testing software that can check for bad keyboards/trackpads. I have seen trackpads behave in varying ways, one was so bad that it was as if a poltergeist was randomly selecting icons on the desktop, dragging items to the side to random distances, and creating untitled folders to the point where there was a mountain of them obscuring the hard drive icon.

It isn't defective. When you three finger drag, there is a delay after you lift your fingers before it stops considering it a drag. This is so you can drag, run out of room, plop your fingers down somewhere else and continue dragging. Surely there is a setting for the delay that you can change via the command line, as is the case for a lot of this kind of stuff, but I don't know what it might be. Or not, I guess, I took a look through the defaults and didn't see anything that looked like it and haven't been able to dig anything up with google either. breaks fucked around with this message at 19:40 on Dec 31, 2012 |

I'm not sure why you provided a link to an iPad wallpaper site. If you have a Retina Macbook Pro, check out Interfacelift: http://interfacelift.com/wallpaper/downloads/date/ It should automatically determine your wallpaper size and show you the images that match it.

I separated my Mountain Lion install with the OS on my solid state drive, and my user directories on the HDD. I'm seeing some weird issues that rebooting isn't helping: clicking 'Show in Finder' in any app doesn't actually do that, clicking on links in, say, Notes.app doesn't open them in the browser, I've borked my homebrew install, and I basically want to format the SSD and re-install the OS. However, everything in ~/Library would still be predicated on the old installation. I'm thinking about removing everything in ~/Library except Application Support/. Does that seem sane?

Definitely less laggy and buggy than TotalFinder (plus now I can right click to make a text document which is the one Windows habit I never broke over the past seven years).

Is the Network tab in Activity Monitor considered inaccurate? I don't know how I could have sent 14 GB in 2 days. Are there any programs that track apps data usage? I installed Little Snitch to see what's running but I don't think it has that info.

Does your router have traffic statistics you could verify those numbers against? Not sure if Activity Monitor tracks loopback traffic or not.

Since Mission Control won't show minimized applications like Expose in Snow Leopard, I'd like to make one of my "Hot Corners" in Mountain Lion show me Expose. That doesn't seem to be an option though. I can set four-fingers-down to Expose in Trackpad settings though, so it's not like Expose no longer exists. Anyone know how to assign Expose a hot corner or get mission control to shoe minimized apps?

I'm about to replace my drives in my early 2011 MBP (from 256 ssd/500gb platter to 512 ssd/ 1tb platter). Doing a fresh install of ML from a USB key. Is it feasible to install with case-sensitive filesystem these days? Other than insuring a more UNIXy system I suppose it's not terribly necessary, but I'd feel good about it. Though in these days I'd find it hard to believe that anything outside of Carbon apps would care about it.

Activity Monitor tracks everything that goes in or out of a network port, not just traffic that makes it to the Internet. Nope. I use dropbox but haven't added anything to it. Would iCloud use a lot of data backing up or syncing data in the background between my Air and iPhone? I haven't added or streamed anything from iTunes Match. I suppose it's nothing serious, just curious where all this data supposedly is coming from. Right now, I have an uptime of 6 hours and Activity Monitor is at around 2 GB sent and received.

To go in the opposite direction of the thread a bit, I installed OS 9 on an old iBook G3 I had knocking about. Out of curiosity I decided to test out Sherlock 2. I was floored when I saw a few search plugins still work. That said, it's rather disconcerting that some of these sites still use the same search code as they did in the late 90s. drat.
