I'm pretty stoked about the new OS update too, however I'm wondering if a year update cycle in "Late Summer" will alter their Mac product release line at all. I know that Lion released and iMac's got refreshed with the "Buy a mac now and get [Mountain] Lion when it comes out" type of stuff.

I've been looking for an answer but I haven't been able to find it. How does home sharing work on the same Mac computer if there are two separate accounts on the mac that want to use that home sharing? Does the non-current user show up in the current user's library, even though technically they are not online as well? We have one centralized Mac, but we both have iPhones, and I have an iPad. We have separate Apple IDs that we'd like to use for iCloud, but home share our music libraries, apps, movies, that sort of thing.

Didion posted:Love this thread and you guys This is not a Mac issue but a Flash Player/Youtube issue. It has happened to me on a Windows Machine, Mac, in all Browsers. When you full screen something on Youtube.. it tries to upconvert the video to HD resolutions (like 720p). When it does that, the player has to go back to Youtube's servers to get the stream in 720p, and the positioning can get thrown off in that mix. You can change this as a setting within Youtube.

wolffenstein posted:iChat is the best way to go. Once it's setup, you just tell your mom to open iChat and then send her a screen sharing request (which she'll see and click accept). It does audio chat while screen sharing so your mom can talk through what problem she encountered. It also does video chat and photo sharing, so essentially it's the best family communicator ever.

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?

kloa posted:You think banks use mainframes because they want to? It's the only hardware/OS that can handle the amount of traffic and transactions occurring every second of the day. This is a common misconception. This common misconception is also total bullshit. You can do pretty much anything with a server farm, and can handle pretty much any amount of traffic you can throw at it. Banks are just federally regulated, lazy, and public companies.

carry on then posted:VNC isn't intended for impromptu over-the-net help requests, though, it requires open ports and a direct connection. Have fun setting that up, I guess. Enabling VNC on a mac is incredibly easy to setup. I could walk someone through it in about 5 minutes. Although I guess if its routed you'd have to port forward.

Anything that is truly needed and cannot be re downloaded or made is a phone call away to fix (like bank accounts, tax return docs, etc)

wolffenstein posted:If I didn't mention the suicide attempt, most responses would have been, "why did you wipe all your devices? that makes no sense!" I plenty know about the effects of depression and suicide. My suggestion was that: quote:Actually what I haven't gotten back is my Apple ID and data, my Twitter accounts, my Dropbox data, and my GitHub account. Those four are the only sites that are strictly enforcing the point of Two Factor Authentication, so be aware of this when using it. All of this is just stuff. Twitter accounts, unless you are like @Wolf or something isn't important at all. Dropbox data... Its all just files, could have pictures.. but really not a big deal. Github may have a multi-million dollar project in it, but I doubt it. The only thing I could see having a financial impact what so ever is purchased apps on the Apple account, which you'd have to re-purchase. But there's only like.. 10 apps that are really worth using so that can't be that big of a deal. I've restarted my email/apple/everything after being ID thefted. It had some initially "oh man thats going to suck", but I'm still humming along just fine. I've already forgotten the actual name of the email that got hacked (was 8 years ago though).

Something is up with Safari. Several pages it takes a few seconds to load, and the entire browser just seems like its locked up during the process. In addition, it looks like safari is using 100% of a core during these lock ups. It has only started in the past week or so, but its intolerable now and I've switched to Chrome for the time being.

If you're concerned about battery, Safari is the most battery conscious on Macs. Since I use an iPhone, iPad and Macbook.. I just made the conversion to Safari. Its been just fine -- especially with iCloud Keychain. The only thing I don't like about Safari is that Command + 1 doesn't select the first tab, it selects your first bookmark in the bookmark bar. I don't let tabs stay open too long anyways so it hasn't been a deal breaker.

This is the case when you have an app to update but you are not signed in under the account that that app was purchased under. If you sign out and then hit updates, it should ask you to login under the user that purchased the app.
