So I was in such a rush to install Lion that I didn't make myself a copy from the installer. Is there a way to do this after you're on Lion? Re-downloading from the App Store doesn't work because it says I have a newer version already downloaded.

zergstain posted:Is it possible to burn a DVD after running the install? I thought making a boot disc was officially supported, so I ran through the process expecting to see some option somewhere. When I didn't see it, I searched Google. Everything I found said to go into the "Install Mac OS X Lion" package, but after installing, it seems to have deleted itself. I wondered the same thing. Anyone know?

In Lion using Safari, Adium, the Twitter app and Spotify, the Web Process process was taking over 1.25 GB of RAM. I wasn't doing anything extravagant, two tabs in Safari. Is this happening to anyone else?

unruly posted:I think it's because of the appearance of high memory usage, where some of that may be unreleased RAM that, if needed, would be reclaimed by the system. Further, the process model for Safari has changed to be more like Chrome -- incurring a larger memory footprint due to having to have a full process amount of RAM allocated per tab. Thanks for the first part of your answer, and I realize that it's all anecdotal, but this is a machine I don't have control over getting upgrades for, so RAM being cheap and plentiful means jack poo poo for me. All I know is that my computer crawled to a halt for no obvious (to me, I'm just looking at system monitor because I don't know what else to look at) reason beyond two tabs in Safari and a few other apps that aren't really doing a whole bunch. It's a new OS and I was wondering if there were similar experiences. Don't answer the question if you guys don't want to. We're not all as well versed in RAM reclamation, so yeah, it's a question that's going to come up.

TACD posted:I just realised I never asked this: Is everybody getting this (presumably buggy) behaviour in the new Mail where both read and unread messages appear in bold? The blue dot still indicates which are unread but I find it very difficult to pick out unread messages at a glance now. The options for 'message list font' and 'Display unread messages with bold font' seem to do absolutely nothing. Yeah, I don't think that's a bug. I just guessed it was how things are now. The blue dot is definitely enough for me, but I can see how others might not like it.

I'm running Lion on my 2008 Mac Pro, which has an SSD for the OS drive and a separate HDD for the user accounts. I created a new user account for my girlfriend, then copied it to the HDD and changed the path in the User Account pref pane. When she logs in, no apps will launch. They'll open for a second and then close. Any thoughts on how to fix this?

mayodreams posted:Try repairing the permissions on both drives. This reeks of a permissions issue. I did that and it didn't work. What DID work, however, was deleting the account, setting it up again, logging in to the account, copying the user folder into the new drive and doing the home folder path change in Prefs from that user's account. I figured I could do it all from the admin account, but that was not the case.

Two questions: does anyone know if Omni Group's software goes on sale ever? I was looking at OmniPlan, but holy poo poo, $200. Second question: anyone else having an issue in Lion where your bluetooth mouse isn't recognized on startup? When that account screen shows up, I have to use a USB mouse to click the account and then I can use my bluetooth mouse after I log in.

mayodreams posted:You can use the arrow keys and enter to select the account on the login screen. Or, you could switch the login screen to a user name prompt and just tab between the fields. I prefer the latter because its harder for someone to 'hack' into my laptop if they dont even know where to start on username. Mine won't let me use the arrow keys, either. I definitely tried when my mouse didn't work.

I fully expect the answer to be "don't use Safari," but after the latest update in Lion, I've noticed that every so often it becomes impossible to highlight text after switching tabs. It won't fix itself unless I restart. Is anyone else experiencing this?

The only one I have on here is 1Password. And like I said, it's totally random. It works like 90% of the time and then it will just... not. Weird. I thought it was just my MacBook Air, but it happened on the Mac Pro earlier. It has to be 1Password, I guess.

Quick question. Let's say I broke up with my girlfriend (I did) and I want to get pictures of us out of my iPhoto library, but not delete them forever (I do). Is there an easy way to do that, or does removing an image from the library destroy it?

fleshweasel posted:Honest to gently caress, I'd love to understand what it is about ECC RAM and Xeons that makes people stick to their 5-years-discontinued Mac Pros. I completely fail to understand why you wouldn't get whatever cash for it you can right now and use it toward a new iMac. I'm talking to a reseller around here about doing just this. I love my Mac Pro, but it isn't long for this earth as far as new OS versions are concerned.

I'm sure this is a simple question to answer, but I'm having a hard time phrasing it as a query for Google. When I restart my computer, the volume level goes waaaaay the gently caress up nearly to the top instead of staying at the level I left it at before it was shut down. Anybody know of a way to fix that? Drives me nuts.

It might have something to do with FileVault, since when I restarted I got an [Update Needed] in place of my username on the grey screen. I'm trying something I read in the support forums. We'll see.

Ok, so I have a Mac Pro running Mountain Lion. It has four hard drives. I have FileVault turned on for the startup drive, but I don't see an option to turn it on for the other three. Is there a way to do that, or do I need to get an encrypting software?

Abjad Soup posted:You might be looking for ctrl-shift-eject then, which turns the display (and keyboard backlight) off and turns on the breathing light to full. Basically just puts your display to sleep right away the same as if you'd let the computer idle for the X minutes set in the Energy Saver pref pane. This also doesn't work with Airs, correct? Because there's no eject button.
