I accidentally installed Safari 6. 1) Is there any way to get back fixed width tabs? 2) I used the "Activity" window *all the time* in Safari 5 to rip FLVs out of pages. Is there any way to get that back or to achieve the same effect in Safari 6?

Dunno if it's cool to ask here, but have any of you other devs figured out how to rehide hidden files? The Terminal command from ML doesn't seem to be working.

Petey posted:I accidentally installed Safari 6. Install Firefox and the VideoDownload Helper extension? That was my solution to the second one (where Safari's ClickToFlash extension didn't find an HTML5 alternative that I could download). I just got used to the tabs being variable width after a few weeks.

Petey posted:I accidentally installed Safari 6. For 1: Glims is an add-on that'll let you do so. For the last 3 months or so I've had it installed, and it hasn't broken anything. Not that that's a guarantee or anything, but it's a nice addon. As for 2: Flash videos are still locally stored in /var/folders/[something]. So navigate to /var/folders/ dick around until you find 'flashtemp(some nonsense). It's cumbersome, but it works. It's not the same function, but the same end result, for what that's worth. And as an aside: Echofon OSX was ended a few months ago, yesterday it died. A few hours ago, they revived the project. So if you're like me and enjoyed the synch between desktop/iOS, that's another option for twitter on OSX/iOS.

I have yet to find a way to get the inspector to show the flv file for a page playing a flash video. Unless you know something specific that I don't, this will not replace the activity window for Petey (not to mention it is far more heavyweight, slow, and cumbersome). If you DO know something, I too would love to hear it.

I am pissed at myself because I had been avoiding upgrading to Safari 6 for this very reason and forgot to uncheck the box when running Software Update yesterday :/ Why the poo poo would Apple remove such a useful, harmless feature (he asked himself rhetorically)

I feel like the new Inspector is way worse than the old one; by trying to simplify it they just made it way harder to use.

I've read the OP and am looking through the software list, but does anybody else have any recommendations for somebody new to OSX? I've always used Windows but my new Macbook Air will be my first OSX machine. Also, how good does BetterTouchTool work for games? I'd like to add multi-touch/gesture support to some different games... (for example, Prison Architect uses WSAD keys for scrolling and it would be nice to convert those keystrokes into gestures, etc) What are some other apps that support the Macbook trackpad gestures?

Gestures should work in-game but I haven't really attempted that. I'm not on my mbp but these are the touchpad shortcuts I have: 2-finger twist left: previous browser tab 2-finger twist right: next browser tab 3-finger down: minimize window 3-finger up: launchpad 4-finger tap: close window 4-finger up: spaces (this may be a built-in gesture, I don't remember)

So in order to pull all of my iCloud synced photos taken with my iPhone onto my computer I need to have iPhoto. I bought a 2010 MBP so I just have whichever version that one came with, but I threw away the CD already because who needs physical media. Does that version of iPhoto 1) have the iCloud features to let me see my last 1000 synced photos and 2) am I able to download it legally somewhere on Apples website? Or do I need to purchase iPhoto '11? I'm on the fence on that one just because I'm gonna buy a new MBA in the coming months and don't want to pay for an older version if a newer one is coming out soon and I can get it for free.

Mac newbie here. I'm trying to get BetterTouchTool set up in Safari so I can tap on the left side of the touchpad to open a link in a new tab in the background, right side for new tab in foreground, center for regular click. Unfortunately when I set this up it passes the original click through along with the cmd-click or whatever, so it wind up opening the link both in a new tab and in the current tab. Is there a better way to do something like this? In Firefox I'm used to Super Drag type extensions that let you do this with dragging links but anything that lets me use just the touchpad would be cool..

Where would I have to go to stop cmd-t bringing up the fonts window in sparrow and some other apps? This one is a particular annoyance of mine when I try to open a new tab in firefox without it having focus, so I get stuck with an annoying little window that doesn't respond to cmd-w or q but has to be clicked on to disappear

I use a single tiptap for switching to the new tab, two finger for opening in the background, and three finger for closing the window. It works well and doesn't click through like you're describing. While we're on the topic I also found setting spaces to use four fingers is nice so I can use the three finger swipe to switch between tabs.

So, here's a peculiar problem I'm interested to see if anybody else has had before I file a support request - almost all of my purchased apps are missing from the 'Purchases' section of the Mac App Store. (And I have checked the 'My Account' section, there are no hidden apps.) They still show up in the 'Updates' section when updates are available and most (but not all) of them show as 'Installed' rather than listing a price in the store itself, but I'd like to have them displayed in 'Purchases' in case I want to download them all again at some point. Has anybody else had this happen? All my Googling turns up people who've hidden apps without realising it.

When I first got a rMBP, Chrome was so much slower scrolling that I had to use Safari. Recently I switched back to Chrome and it's much better than it used to be. I think they're both fine choices. Chrome is my pick mainly because I like everything sync'd with other computers.

I use Chrome exclusively on Windows and Linux, but for Macs I pretty much always use Safari. It feels about the same nowadays and with Safari 7 it will fix most of the niggling issues I've had with it.

Since the upgrade to 10.8.4 my MBP Retina 15" has issues with Wifi when I open up the lid. It finds and connects to the networks fine, but it just doesn't get any data over (which apparently fucks up Firefox enough that I get the "no response" in the Task Viewer). It takes several minutes until I get any data transferred again. If I go into the Network Settings and renew the DHCP lease it works fine all of the sudden. Same issue on several different networks, even the one at home running on a Airport Extreme. Anyone having similar issues? Or any fix for this?

My ethernet port on my iMac is still giving me grief. I made a full time machine backup and then nuked the drive, reinstalled Mountain Lion from internet recovery. The Ethernet port then worked fine until I attempted to set a static IP, which I previously had set up (for sickbeard/SABNZBD+/other port forwarding). The router wouldnt give it the IP set for the MAC address, and when selecting "manually with DHCP" the whole ethernet port becomes inactive and doesnt recognise the cable is even connected, which is exactly where I was before I formatted. Unfortunately theres no way to get it to become active again. The port works fine in recovery mode and before booting (the activity light on the router blinks) but as soon as you hit the desktop it shuts down all activity on the port. Im at work now and the recovery is running at home. Anything I am missing?

I bought a mid-2012 Macbook Pro 13", which is now feeling pretty sluggish as I turned on drive encryption and installed every single stupid piece of software I could find. There's nothing I care deeply about in my home directory that I haven't got backed up elsewhere, so rather than pick out all the crap I figured I'd just reinstall OSX on it. I booted into the recovery partition and hit the 'Reinstall OSX' button, but it came back with an error saying that it couldn't verify my machine's eligibility and that I should contact Applecare. The laptop came with Mountain Lion, but Mountain Lion isn't listed under my purchases in the app store -- presumably because it came bundled with my computer rather than having been purchased individually? Ideally I'd rather not buy another copy of the OS; surely I can reinstall it without having to buy it again? So yeah, I feel like I must be doing something dumb .. it seems like it shouldn't be this difficult. Do I just need to do like the error message says and contact Apple?

You should probably contact Apple, yeah. The reinstall should 'just work' on computers that came with whatever version of the OS you're trying to install.

Yeah, I'm a bit fuzzy on exactly what happened there. I think it may have arrived with Lion, but then I got a free upgrade based on the date I bought the machine. But if that were the case, I would have assumed that Mountain Lion would show up in my app store purchases. But anyway, I'll contact Apple and see what they say. On that note, would taking it in to an Apple store achieve the same as calling Applecare, or are the Apple store employees just going to tell me to go away and phone Applecare?
