Just took delivery of a new 15" MBP to replace my 13" MBP running Snow Leopard. What's the best way to get all my crap from my 13" MBP shifted over? Migration assistant through firewire? What happens to all the stuff on the 13"? I'm giving it to my younger brother and he'd like to keep the music if possible.

Nearly had a loving heart attack. Downloaded the 10.7.1 update and restarted. Grey screen comes up and I get the startup chime. Then I get the chime again. Then the screen goes black and I get "No bootable device -- insert boot disk and press any key" Panicked for a minute or two until I hard reset and held option to select the drive. Going through the logistics of how Apple Care would work a million miles from any apple store had me making GBS threads myself.

This may be a long shot... Does anyone know of any flight management software? I book upwards of 30 flights a month (not for myself) and keeping track of travel dates, pricing, change rules, unused return tickets, etc is becoming a royal pain in my rear end.

I am using a travel agent right now (3 of them, actually), but it still seems to be tough to get a grip on everything that's going on. strokevictim: I'm going to try out the TripIt for Business trial. Looks like that would help me quite a bit, cheers.

Is there any way I can embed an image/pdf/whatever as an icon in Excel for Mac 2011? I know you can do it in Windows with Insert --> Object, but I can't for the life of me figure this out.

Let's say I have 5 email accounts set up in Mail, but I only want 1 or 2 of them to count for the new mail notification thing in the dock. Any way to do this? Or maybe have one account show up as another colour or something?

I just bought Fantastical and I'm loving it so far. One issue though. I have 5 email accounts set up in Mail. How do I set a default account to send mail from when I invite someone to a meeting? I've gone through the preferences and Googled but I can't seem to make this play nice. Seems to just send from whatever account.

NESguerilla posted:I just finally upgraded to Lion the other day and now I am having airport problems. My network is still set as my preferred network and it is set to automatically connect, but when I open and close the lid on my laptop it either A. disconnects from the network and I have to go back to it manually or, B. Stays connected but the internet wont work until I refresh the page 5 or six times. Help? I have a similar problem. I have a 15"MBP (8,2). I installed the updates that it had been bugging me about yesterday. Since then, when I connect to a network it says I'm connected. However, I can't send/receive any data for 40 seconds or so. Safari says I'm not connected to the internet. When I press the network diagnostic button is says everything is a-ok. Did one of the updates break something?

I've run all the updates on my 15"MBP and I'm having WiFi issues. It shows that the airport is connected to my home network, but I don't have a connection. It takes about a minute to actually get any data traffic. When I open Safari, it tells me I'm not connected. If I click Network Diagnostics it says that everything is working.

Resetting the SMC worked a charm!

I live in the Middle East, but work US hours. I'd like my system clock to change to a US timezone when I'm on my work WiFi and local time when I'm at home. Is there any way to do this? Running 10.8.4 on a MacBook Pro (8,2).

We do meetings fairly often with GoToMeeting. For something ridiculous reason, their 'draw' function is only supported with Windows. I'm looking for a decent app that will let me draw over pretty much anything that's on screen. Being able to save the image would be awesome as well. We'll be running this on an iMac (currently running Mountain Lion) and using a Wacom Bamboo. Any apps that will let me do this?

japtor posted:Panic has an old app called Desktastic that might work but I have no clue if it actually runs properly anymore (it's really old). I'm sure there's similar apps though. Thanks! You weren't kidding about Desktastic being old. It's PowerPC old. Scribbles seems a little buggy, but it's not too bad. Might bite the bullet and buy Deskcribble which seems decent.

I have an early 2011 15" MBP that gets incredibly hot in the back left corner (under the esc key) when doing things Hangout video chat or watching YouTube videos. Also, the bottom left panel is sticking out about 2mm from the rest of the body. It's still under warranty, so I'm taking it in to an authorized repair center. Before I take it in, I want to create an image of the disk just in case. My boot disk is 700GB (I partitioned 50GB off for a Win7 install I never got around to doing) and I'm using about 600GB of that. I have an external, but it's got stuff on it that I don't want to erase. It has about 1.5TB free space. Can I create a clone of my boot disk without wiping the hard drive? If so, how? All the tutorials I've seen start with formatting the drive. EDIT: I'm an rear end, and didn't think this all the way through. I've created a 755GB partition on the external drive (Mac OS Extended (Journaled), GUID Partition Table). I can just throw the clone there, right? angor fucked around with this message at 12:15 on May 4, 2014 |

Is there any way for me to see how many files are in a folder (and its subfolders) without counting the folders themselves? For example: >Folder 1 >>file.doc >>Folder 2 >>>file2.doc >>>file3.doc >>>Folder 3 >>>>file4.doc If I open inspector while Folder 1 is selected, it says there are 6 items. I want it to tell me that there are 4.

Having a boot issue with a MacMini 5,3 after installing Yosemite. It was working just fine, but one day it crashed and got stuck in an ongoing loop of trying to boot, and an error comes up and it restarts itself. This doesn't stop until you hold the power button down to kill it. I managed to get it running by booting into recovery mode and repairing the disk and permissions. It worked for a week or so, but then did the same thing. I tried repairing the disk and permissions again and it DID boot, but crashed when I tried shutting down and now I'm stuck again. Before repairing permissions I booted in verbose mode and took a video. I have no idea what's going on here, but I hope someone can chime in and explain why the issue is happening so I can fix it once and for all. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C5DDREowuMc

japtor posted:Does it say it finds any problems and fixes them? Just wondering if it could be a disk issue. When I ran it before, I can't remember if it fixed anything on the disk, but it definitely repaired a few permissions. When I run it now, there's nothing to repair on the disk and there are no permissions to repair. So I restart and it starts booting, and this flashes up quickly. Managed to get a picture of it: http://imgur.com/Tdipp6Y Looking closely at this...I have AirDisplay installed on this machine. Could that be messing everything up?
