Manky posted:The hdd in my early 08 MBP is finally unusable. No worries, I've got backups. But could someone point me towards a reliable, small, and preferably cheap ssd I could use for just a system partition? The superdrive barely works anyway so I figure I might as well do the optibay thing. I really hope the next MBP has an Optibay-like function from the factory like the Mac Mini. The disc drive is just so legacy and chews so much internal space that could be used for more battery or another hard drive.

Hmm, how does the App store purchase thing by having a friend proxy work with regards to the tying of the copy of Lion to the hardware serial check for the Lion recovery feature? Or was that a Lion beta thing?

I think there might be splitters out there to split the Headset TRS plug out so you can get a somewhat powered mic port and audio out.

Oh god, the 500GB XT from the last gen froze my late 2007 MacBook up for 2 seconds at a time every 10 seconds after a few minutes of bootup. Fortunately, I was able to find some firmware to disable the SSD part which also complete destroys any value in having a hybrid drive. I wouldn't recommend these hybrid drives to anyone. To keep the SSD part going , I had reformatted with zeros, tried the latest firmware, and some other voodoo but it turns out the best thing to do was to just turn the SSD off with the older "shut down the SSD to stem complaints" firmware. No more horrendous 2 second lags.

Desjardy posted:Does Apple usually release new revisions of their Macbook Pro's worldwide, or is it more like the iPhone/iPad with a delayed release in different territories? Another question I think you should ask is about keyboards. I was looking at international keyboards out of curiosity following some hacker news post and I was amazed to see that the Japanese keyboard necessitated a totally different alumininum body atop a unibody MacBook pro.

echobucket posted:Holy crap. someone on macosxhints found out if you go a Get Info on the iWorks apps on a Retina MBP, there's a checkbox there labeled "Use Low Resolution", and it's checked by default on Pages, Keynote and Numbers, and if you uncheck it, the text suddenly looks better in iWork. Some of the images in certain templates are broken if I do this. For example, see the Woodland Invoice app. The leaf is cut off and the photo well drop in for the stamp is missing. The text is fine though.

Well, for Pages at least the functionality is broken. The assets aren't updated too but the broken functionality is more likely to be the reason why that's checked.

Not completely broke, but it's broken. I didn't check for effects on all text documents but here's an example with the "Woodland Invoice" template.

I use it because the auto-update system is good, has a wider selection of extensions, a better security record, and better security defaults (like click-to-run Java during the whole Flashback debacle). In addition, out of third party browsers, they'll never be able to match Safari in nativeness but they try really hard.

I used gigabit ethernet to transfer from my old MacBook to the new one. There was overhead but it was pretty fast. I suppose this won't work if you don't have ethernet on both sides.

jaspertron posted:So I just realized my 2012 13 inch Pro(non-retina) doesn't have audio in. Doesn't look like the retiana models have it either. What's the alternative here, my google fu is failing me and all I found was some people linking to a sketchy website from the 90's selling $300 pieces of hardware.... How about those iPhone headset splitters? Audio pros might object but this should certainly be possible. http://www.amazon.com/Headset-Buddy-01-PC35-PH35-Smartphone-Blackberry/dp/B002SK66OY/ref=cm_lmf_tit_2 This might force you to use headphones though.

There are some funky OS buffer and cache things that have to be dealt with in OSXFuse. Your MBA is streaming across the network which means the filesystem on the external doesn't really matter anymore at that point. If hooking the external directly (not over a network) to your MBA with OSXFuse has it working fine, then I don't know.

I don't think you need to hold T down and do targeted disk mode. I'm fairly certain that they'll hook up over the network that way and you can just see the other computer through the network in the Finder window.

Binary Badger posted:In my experience at least one machine has to be in Target Disk Mode to be connected over Thunderbolt.. There's no network connection that appears in the Network Control Panel if you just plug in a live, already OSX booted Mac with a Tbolt cable. Ah, that's sad to hear. I guess there's not really a replacement for the network support like Firewire except for Gigabit Ethernet I guess. Perhaps a gigabit switch might be helpful here should avoiding use of Targeted Disk mode be desirable. crazysim fucked around with this message at 23:06 on Dec 22, 2012 |

strokevictim posted:Not sure it's worth the $79 - looks nice though The special thing about that disc drive is that it is completely powered by one Apple USB port. If you can ditch this and can bear with a disc drive that uses two usb ports (1 for power and 1 for data and power) or one with an external power supply, then the much cheaper alternatives should suffice.

And a larger throughput SSD. I'm getting 300MB/s R/W on the current SSD. The new rMBP should beat or match the new Air's 800MB/s R/W.

Does this happen with other monitors? I had this problem with my rMBP too. Did you do the Migration Assistant thing? I had a kernel extension that was loving things up which I had to uninstall which came through Migration Assistant. Can you download Pacifist and run the "Display Kernel Extensions Report"? It's shareware but it'll let you run it anyway after a wait. It'll show Kernel extensions that weren't provided by Apple. You can probably fit the data you need to show this thread in a screenshot since there should only be a dozen non-Apple-provided extensions at most. edit: Also, you can't use external monitors if you have gfxcardStatus locked to the Intel card on the 15" rMBP. Discrete/Nvidia only. crazysim fucked around with this message at 21:06 on Aug 10, 2013 |

Oneiros posted:Get gfxcardstatus and use it to force integrated graphics only while you're on battery. It's pretty much the only way to make a 2010 Pro usable that way because every drat thing will trigger the discrete GPU otherwise. I suppose the only drawback of this setup would be external monitors. Apparently, using external monitors on a dual-GPU Retina Macbook Pro with locking to Intel does not work.

marmot25 posted:Went to get my swollen battery looked at, since I don't really want this fire hazard sitting around the house. Evidently Geniuses that can talk about macs are in short supply so the wait at my store was five days. I called them this morning to see if I could do a walk in (and was willing to wait all afternoon) and they said "sure, we can fit you in." Got there, was told "there are two walk ins ahead of you" and I asked to still be put on the list, but they said "no dice." I asked them if I could at least just borrow the tri-wing screwdriver so that I can at least get dump the swollen battery and they also said "no" so I asked for a manager. I sat at the personal setup table for awhile with my computer, underbelly exposed, just sitting there. Several customers were very interested to see what can become of a battery. Eventually I noticed that an appointment opened up in SF tomorrow morning so I'll just do that instead. I should have casually asked if they had a class D extinguisher on the premises while I waited. They probably wanted some data point for their actuaries.

eddiewalker posted:Most non-Apple routers don't do Time Machine backups. Even with significant hacking it won't work reliably. You'd need a very powerful router to make USB3 worthwhile. My 600mhz Broadcom router maxes the CPU writing to a usb2 disk and I manage maybe 10mB/s to the disk. Figure I'll share this anecdote I just found out while researching a router and a firmware to replace my current crappy WRT54GL. I just got an Asus RT-AC66U and it does not support Time Machine. That's cool, I'm covered by Crashplan. Anyway, what's interesting is that the newer but lower specced RT-AC56U does and the corresponding also new higher spec RT-AC68U does. In fact, they read and require a Journaled HFS+ disk through Paragon's proprietary ufs driver to serve a backup that works like a normal Time Machine drive with networked Journaled HFS+ over Appletalk or SMB (dunno in Mavericks) and so on.
