Anyone having problems installing fonts in Lion? I can install this font (http://www.dafont.com/ferro-rosso.font) in snow leopard fine but under lion I get 'name' structure table not valid or something. It's driving me nuts as there seems to be not much documentation on font validation errors. Any ideas?

I haven't used Time Machine in a while but since I have to get my iMac's hdd replaced it would make sense to use this feature. What would be the best way to do this? I have a 1 tb external that has 80gigs free on it. My iMac's hard drive should be ~20gigs to backup. Would I need to partition the drive to use as a time machine so it doesn't affect the other files on it or would it be fine to just set time machine to that drive without a partition. I hope to delete the time machine junk off the external once I mirror it back to the new iMac hard drive. What would be the best way?

I got my iMac back from Apple store after having to do the Seagate HDD recall. I used the migration tool with my time machine hard drive to bring everything back to how it was. Everything seems fine except all the Apple programs in the doc such as messages, contacts, iCal, notes, and reminder are all question marks and Mail.app crashes when I try to run it. I'm freaking out cause I need Mail.app. Does anyone know what to do? Am I boned and need to do a fresh install? This sucks! EDIT: WHAT THE gently caress! Those loving geniuses installed Lion instead of Mountain Lion on my machine. gently caress!! Housh fucked around with this message at 01:49 on Nov 3, 2012 |

They said they would return the computer to me with Mountain Lion as that was what I had using so I can just use the migration tool and move over my latest time machine image. I just time machined a mountain lion backup onto an iMac with Lion installed. That's why a lot of stuff is broken and there are dead links to OSX programs that only came out with ML. Also Mail.app is busted cause the time machine backup is probably incompatible with the old version. I gotta redownload ML from the app store and use the migration tool again.

Would've saved me 2 hours if the genius did what he said he would do but I guess I'll forgive and forget. I thought Lion was so random as the iMac initially came with Snow Leopard preinstalled. As for sound of the new drive...I'll have to wait and see. The old drive was silent for most of the 2 years I had this computer. Just in the summer I noticed it getting loud so I wasn't that surprised when I got the recall email. So far so good.

I always regret updating chrome and now it crashes with Facebook. I tried disable the extra instances of flash in the plugins but it still runs funky. How do I fix this?

What's the best boot manager these days? rEFInd? I use Snow Leopard and Windows 8 the same amount equally and want to be asked which to log into whenever I power up my MacBook.

Yes. I don't want to hold option each time or have it load up OSX automatically. I want a choice upon boot up. I'm considering this: http://www.rodsbooks.com/refind/ and wondering if anyone has used it or knows of a better way.

Nope which is really annoying and silly.

Boris Galerkin posted:So a bug was found in Safari on both OS X and iOS over the weekend. I'm not a security person but from what I understand it's Pretty Bad. Something about SSL being compromised. iOS has been patched but OS X is still waiting. In the meantime people smarter than me suggest using Firefox or Chrome in lieu of Safari until the bug is resolved. I think my iMac was compromised or something while reading about this on macrumors. Can't connect to internet using any apple software (safari, mail, app store, itunes) but everything else works. I patched my phone and my snow leopard macbook using firefox is fine. I'm kinda pissed and freaking out.

Just did an upgrade install on my mid 2010 iMac and I'm pleased with the performance. I'm sure the 16GB of ram helps.

Today I noticed the flickering pixel problem again on my mid 2010 iMac. I guess it's definitely software since the Apple store gutted the iMac twice last winter. I couldn't snag a screenshot but I rebooted and it's gone for now. It came back when I upgrade to Yosemite. I honestly wonder if it has something to do with the Retina stuff build into the OS with it's Radeon card. Man, I hope it was just a fluke or it's time to start saving for a new iMac...I love this one though.

What is the current favorite bit torrent client? uTorrent seems to be full of spyware and ads these days. I read Deluge is good but I was wondering what the consensus is around here.

What's the best remote connection software for macOS to windows 10? iOS functionality is a big plus. I've been using RealVNC for a while but I'm curious if there is something faster/better.

Aw I'm sorry dude I read the first post but didn't scroll to the second. My bad... Thanks for the recommendations. I guess I would be happy with something that resembles winRAR. Like basic two plane. I'll try all 3 out.

I transfered a domain name and it's been 24hrs since. Going to the website in Chrome and Safari iOS displays the new site. However, no matter how many times I empty the cache in the develop menu Safari on my mbp still points to the old site. It's driving me crazy! Any ideas?

Tried that to no avail. Checked my PC and it's still showing the old page too. Took my phone off the network and the domain is still pointing to the old page through my data carrier. I'm guessing the DNS still needs another day or two to propagate.

I think you were right. I cleared the cache on my iOS devices and everything is correct. Cleared the cache again in Chrome on two devices and it's correct. Still don't know why Safari is messing up. Cleared cache, rebooted....is there something else I can do?

Cleared the cache and rebooted mbp the third time and it finally worked. My PC using Chrome and MS Edge ( ) still display the old site even though I emptied cache and rebooted twice so I don't know

I hope the isn't considered  but I'm trying to take a screenshot of a TV episode I bought off iTunes to send to the producer of that very TV show as per his request. I can't because of DRM. The screenshots are all grey. Is there a work around or a free DRM removal tool? This sucks.
