Anyway to override the "this Mac is being used by a number of users bla bla" when shutting down prompt?

Everytime I try to shutdown my Plex Mac mini through the application's menu I get that shit and have to remote into it (splashtop or screensharing) which sucks.

 

[show me your skeleton]

If you are just going to start fresh you can delete the Windows partition from Disk Utility on the OSX side.

thank youuu

 

[jts]

Oh shit, I have to defrag or backup and restore my HDD to be able to partition it for a Windows 8 install.

I bought Pixelmator 1.6.4 from the appstore when it first launched and im pretty sure they promised free upgrade to 2.0? anyway, i got a new hdd installed lion and now pixelmator has disappeared from my purchases list and it says it will cost me £20.99 to download...what gives? I've already purchased it, even if you just give me my old version i would like to be able to download it (i have my itunes receipt email). Any advice?

Contact them?

 

[noah111]

Contact them?

Yeah, that's probably your best bet.

Are you sure you're signed into the same Apple ID, though?

So did Netflix finally implement Silverlight 5's hardware acceleration in Chrome (for non-fullscreen content)?

My CPU usage is down from 100-140% to around 55% (LOL) while watching.

Chrome 18 Beta, BTW.

It's really easy to get used to if you're a regular PC user. Shortcuts are probably what'll take the most time to get used to, but it's not difficult. Click this.

I split time between my desktop PC and Macbook Pro. I don't think I can go Mac 100% quite yet.

thanks, I was checking that link yesterday. It'll take quite some time to undo 15 years of PC habits. I have a ASUS laptop that I'll probably be selling and just buy a desktop PC(maybe a ALL in ONE PC).

Love the Macbook Pro so far. Build quality is top notch and I'm starting to get the hang of this OS. Only think I really miss so far is Right-click. I realize now how much I used that function now that I can't use it.

 

[Fallout-NL]

/edit: nevermind, solved it.

Click with two fingers. Or Control-click

Click with two fingers. Or Control-click

thanks, but last night after my post I googled 'right click on mac' and found out I can set it for the right or left bottom part of the Trackpad. I now have my easy access right click back! Now i'm 100% happy about my purchase.

There is a curve in adjusting, but you'd be surprised at how quickly you can do it.

I suggest giving things a go 'the mac way' for a while.

mac OS x is pretty infamous for being not as customisable, and trying tob bend it to your will can be an exercise I frustration at times. Going with the flow is often preferable. I know it sounds kind of counter productive, but for the most part, I think they do work.

Hey all,
Hoping for some help. I've been having a heck of a lot of issues with trying to get a Time Machine backup set up, even though my Mac is almost a year and a half old. I did have a good back up, but my external died on me, leading me to get a new drive and start over with a new time machine backup.

My Machine:
27'' iMac Mid-2010
Intel i7 2.93 GHz
12 GB RAM
2 TB Hard Drive

The problem - Time Machine refuses to complete the initial backup. My machine either crashes via a Kernal Panic (screen dims and Restart your computer message in multiple languages shows up), or Time Machine spits back an error stating "Unable to complete backup. An error occurred while copying files to the backup volume".

I normally will simply try to restart the back up, or delete the in progress file and start over, but to no avail. If I don't delete the InProgress file, Time Machine spits back saying there are MORE files to back up then when I started (e.g. - initial backup says 700,000 files to back up, on second try, it will say 850,000, for example).
I downloaded the Time Machine Buddy Widget and here is the message for the last fail. The common answer might be that this specific file is corrupt, but if I ditch the problem file, it just happens on another file...

Also including the last two kernel panic reports:

Can you not upgrade from Leopard to Lion?

You technically need to upgrade to Snow Leopard and then to Lion. There are probably ways around it.

Out of curiosity, is all firmware for mac hardware baked into the device itself? If not does the HD carry the firmware for all current models and just loads the appropriate one at boot?

Basically, I was wondering if I had, say, a Core 2 Duo MacBook, and I buy, say, a new MacBook Pro i5 - can I just remove the HD from one and stick in the other and boot?

No firmware whatsoever is stored on Hard Drives (except for Hard Drive-Firmwares, but those are irrelevant).

So can I take any mac system he and stick it in any mac and boot off it? I'm guessing the OS itself carries all the necessary software to run on any mac?

As long as the Mac OS-version on the drive is the same or newer than the version the other machine originally came with, you should be fine.

I don't guarantee or recommend it. I tried that when I moved from my white MacBook to my Pro 2 years ago and the Pro refused to boot from a straight swap. I had to install fresh onto the blanked drive and migrate from a backup.

 

[mrkgoo]

I guess I meant a bit of both. Drivers in the OS for that particular Mac, but also baked in firmware (such as EFI stuff).

You see what I wanted to do - I was just looking forward and wondering when I get a new mac, if I could just swap in and out.

Jasoco: yeah, i guess that's a much safer method, thanks.

I'm using 1Password and the Chrome plugin, but the autologin shortcut doesn't work on GAF. It fills the username, but the password fields stays blank (or is cleared if there was already text). Anyone experiencing the same?
It works on all other sites.

Its an issue with the bootcamp installer and its a pain in the ass.

I don't really use onyx. Never felt the need to cleanup in general. Maybe some manual housecleaning if you know where to look.

For clearing up RAM, install the Developer Tools, and then run the "purge" command from the Terminal whenever the blue section of the memory pie chart in Activity Monitor gets too big. Actually learning how to use Terminal and Activity Monitor are both good ideas in general.

Gaf, I have a couple of hard drives from my now dead windows pc (the drives still function fine)
I've just ordered this device to hopefully transfer some files (mainly music and photos) across to an imac. I'm wondering if I'm going to encounter any permissions errors whilst doing this or should it all be pretty much striaght foward.

It's going to be no different than transferring files from an external HD.

I use Onyx once in a while to clean out everything. Other times I just manually delete the CONTENTS of the following folders:
~/Library/Cache/
/Library/Cache/
/private/var/folders/

That last one might scare you, but it's okay. It's a cache that is completely harmless, and can be deleted. You will end up having to reclick some buttons or put up with a small amount of forgotten things afterwards, but you can delete it if you notice it getting too huge. The first two are easier and completely harmless as well and usually take up a total of 1-1.5GB on average after a few days or weeks. At least the Home version of the Cache folder.

Note that if you are on a HDD, deleting cache will make your computer run sluggish for a while as caches get recreated, but on an SSD, there will be no slowdown at all. Cache isn't even needed on an SSD as the speed of the SSD negates any benefit the cache once had, but OS X has no way of turning them off so we have to leave them around. If I could figure out a way to trick OS X into writing all cache files into RAM so they get cleaned up at reboot and log out I would. But so far I've had no luck. (I was close once though when I had my computer create a RAM Disk at boot up, but it turned out the RAM Disk would unmount when the computer went to sleep and wouldn't remount which would confuse the shit out of certain programs. Chrome however somehow had no problem with it. And Chrome is an app that complains if you remove its Cache folder while it's still running. But somehow having its cache disappear without warning didn't phase it.)

I am thinking of getting a 128GB SSD for my Mac mini, is there a way I can easily go from my current 500GB HDD (only 65GB of which is being used) to a 128GB SSD? I recently did a fresh install of OS X along with all my applications and would prefer not having to do that all over again if possible..

Carbon Copy Cloner

 

[Tr4nce]

GAF, please help me out.

Since a few weeks, Safari has decided to log me out of some forums I frequently visit. Even though I have the option 'Stay logged in' turned on. It's starting to become very annoying.

I have since reinstalled Safari, cleared the caches and cookies a million times, reset Safari a couple of times, and even deleted the account info in the 'keychain' and put it back in.

The weird thing is though, it never happens to me on this particular forum, only with one certain other forum. It's driving me nuts!

Hey guys, I have Snow Leopard and a Boot Camp installed with Windows XP on my Macbook right now. I want to keep Windows XP as it works much better for using Remote Desktop for connecting to my work PC (work servers are ancient, typical big, cheap corporation).

However, I want to install Lion but I read that Windows XP in Boot Camp doesn't work with Lion. Am I ok because I already have it installed? Is there a work around to keep my existing Boot Camp partition and Win XP as is?

Carbon Copy Cloner

Carbon Copy Cloner can go from a larger driver to a smaller driver for certain? On the features page it states "Simplest method to migrate to a new, larger hard drive, especially if you have lost your original Mac OS X Installation DVD" which is the only reason I ask!

I think they only word that way because that's usually why people swap hard drives (to get larger ones), so they're catering to that public. Also, it covers the chance of messing up due to lack of space in the new hdd.

I'm pretty certain that as long as you have enough free space on the new hard drive, you'll be able to clone the old one, albeit larger. Can't promise you though.

As long as you don't try to copy 100GB onto an 80GB drive. CCC can copy only your Preferences folder onto a thumb drive if you wanted it to. CCC is the go-to cloner software. It's free and powerful. The complete opposite of the expensive underpowered SuperDuper!. And it gets better all the time.

not sure if this is the right place to ask, but I am starting to use Pages and I notice that it automatically can create a separate Word copy of a document for exporting, the only problem is that if I make a change to the Pages version, it doesn't seem to automatically update the Word version? Am I doing it wrong? Is having 2 separate copies of each doc not the best way to go about this?

Well I'm in serious shit right now.

I wanted to format my mac, and when you reinstall lion, you have to enter your apple id. Problem is that it just doesn't work anymore. I don't know how to explain this but I used an old e-mail address a while ago to buy things on the apple store because it wasn't possible in my country. I used this one as well to purchase lion in june.

Anyway, I can't access my e-mail nor my apple id. It's gone. I've tried every possible password, I tried solving the secret question. Nothing works. The e-mail address is gone.

So I'll have to use snow leopard now until I buy lion again. =/
