IDisk quits too early, launch too late
i found iDisk is quitting too early, before the apps close. So any app with preferences saved on iDisk will have problems.
Also it launches too late, after the app like Things launch and can't find their database
I thinks is a very bug SL bug.
Also links from iDisk saved in Finder left bar disappear after at every startup

Retina cannot upgrade RAM. Storage can be upgraded, but more $ than upgrading the non-Retina unit.
Non-Retina unit can upgrade RAM base-4 GB to 16 GB for about $85 (cf. OWC.) HD can be replaced with SSD or larger HD.
Therefore lack of "upgradability" in Retina
No optical drive in Retina.
The non-Retina has Ethernet and FireWire ports, and a slot for a secure cable- the Retina none of these ports.

Too early for the retina, too late for the non retina? Which one?
Hi everyone,
Sorry for yet another "Which MBP should I buy" post but I have read through all the of the discussions I can find on this topic as well as around the web.
I am a digital designer who is currently using a PC only because up until now I have never been in the financial position to transition over to Mac.
I am currently trying to decide between getting a a 15" Mac Book Pro or 15" Retina Mac Book Pro.
15-inch: 2.6GHz
2.6GHz quad-core Intel Core i7
8GB 1600MHz memory
750GB 5400-rpm hard drive1
Intel HD Graphics 4000
NVIDIA GeForce GT 650M with 1GB of GDDR5 memory
High res anti-glare screen
versus:
15-inch: Retina display
2.6GHz quad-core Intel Core i7
8GB 1600MHz memory
512GB flash storage1
Intel HD Graphics 4000
NVIDIA GeForce GT 650M with 1GB of GDDR5 memory
I will be using Adobe CS6 Photoshop, Illustrator, Flash and Dreamweaver sometimes all at the same time. I occasionally have a video project where I will be using Premiere and After Effects. I am also looking into upskilling myself and becoming versed in at least basic 3D modelling. I am looking at a MBP because portability is important.
Given my job, going retina seems like a no brainer but I have a few concerns:
Speed, processing power - which will suit my needs?
This is an investment for me, I want it to last at least 3-4 years:
Is getting a standard MBP now just too late and bidding in the past?
Will resale of a standard MBP suck in 3-4 years?
In 3 years time will I need an upgrade, and if so, how will I even do this with a virtually unupgradeable (from what Ive read) Retina MBP?
About 80% of the time I plan on hooking up the MBP to a Thunderbolt display - whats the point in a Retina?
If I don't get a Retina and I need to start designing Retina graphics, will I be faced with added dificulty because I use standard MBP?
Is it realistic to assume Retina graphics won't become mainstream for 3-4 years allowing me to bide my time with a standard MBP, upgrading to a Retina later?
At work I use a 2-3 year old iMac and the screen is already magical compared to my PC and it seems to do fine for me. I've been in store and played with both and I am genuinely confused. I just feel like getting a standard MBP is like jumping on a train when it's already reached it's destination.
Budget wise I can afford the base level Retina MBP I outlined above but if I can save money, that'd be ideal. Being me I will automatically chose the best possible solution but I need to be rational about my needs. Someone please help, I just want a Mac!
Thanks in advance, any help is much appreciatedkytim wrote:

When I Googled the word MacKeeper, several items that appeared warned against downloading this item. Too late! I've already downloaded it.
I was told that, before reversing the download, I needed to unencrypt anything that was encrypted. How do I do this?Remove "MacKeeper" as follows. First, back up all data.
"MacKeeper" has only one useful feature: it deletes itself.
Note: These instructions apply to the version of the product that I downloaded and tested in early 2012. I can't be sure that they apply to other versions.
IMPORTANT: "MacKeeper" has what the developer calls an “encryption” feature. In my tests, I didn't try to verify what this feature really does. If you used it to “encrypt” any of your files, “decrypt” them before you uninstall, or (preferably) restore the files from backups made before they were “encrypted.” As the developer is not trustworthy, you should assume that the "decrypted" files are corrupt unless proven otherwise.
In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Applications
from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-A. The "MacKeeper" application is in the folder that opens. Quit it if it's running, then drag it to the Trash. You'll be prompted for your login password. Then a dialog will pop up asking why you want to uninstall it. You don't have to provide that information. Enter anything you like in the text box, then click the Uninstall MacKeeper button. All the functional components of the software will be deleted. Reboot.
Do not empty the Trash after dragging the MacKeeper application to it. Let the application delete itself.
Do not try to uninstall by dragging the MacKeeper icon in the Dock or the LaunchPad to the Trash.
Here are some general suggestions. If you want your computer to be usable, don't install crapware, such as “themes,” "haxies," “add-ons,” “toolbars,” “enhancers," “optimizers,” “accelerators,” "boosters," “extenders,” “cleaners,” "doctors," "tune-ups," “defragmenters,” “firewalls,” "barriers," “guardians,” “defenders,” “protectors,” most “plugins,” commercial "virus scanners,” "disk tools," or "utilities." With very few exceptions, this stuff is useless, or worse than useless.
The more actively promoted the product, the more likely it is to be garbage. The most extreme example is the “MacKeeper” scam.
The only software you should install is that which directly enables you to do the things you use a computer for — such as creating, communicating, and playing — and does not modify the way other software works. Never install any third-party software unless you know how to uninstall it. -
Tempo change delay! Why is Logic changing the tempo too late?
Anyone a solution for this?
My tempo change is set at e.g. 10.1.1.1 from 60 to 30 bpm. But logic is changing the tempo slightly delayed (about half a second too late.)
It looks like logic is to slow to handle the tempo change on time:
When I restart at 10.1.1.1 with the tempo allready set to 30 bpm, everything is fine. Tempo stays at 30 bpm and is not set to 60 bpm during this 0.5 seconds of delay.
But when I start at an earlier position with a different tempo, I get the wrong tempo again during this 0.5 senconds after the set tempo change at 10.1.1.1Yeah that was it, I realised straight afterwards (I'm just impatient lol). Thanks anyway

Just bought a Dell Studio MT Desktop Q8200 November 30 (3 days ago). I did not buy an extended warranty at the time. I wasn't aware of the arrangement Dell had w/Best Buy about warranties until today and I would like to buy a extended warranty now. Is it too late to do this?
Hey Kbp13 -
Congratulations on your new Dell desktop. I purchased one a few months ago in our stores and thus far I have been quite pleased.
The good news is that you do have 14 days from date of purchase to buy the Performance Service Plan. Keep in mind, the store may ask you to bring the tower in to have it inspected to ensure that it is in like new condition. Your best option is to contact the store prior to driving there and receive clarity from them.
I hope this helps!

HELP! Can I retrieve my previous session? I only just ticked the "open with previous session" preference but it seems too late! Can I still get the old pages/tabs I had open?
That could be a problem, unfortunately.
But most likely the pages you were on are stored in the History list. Try pressing Cmd+Shift+H to get the History window.
To help prevent this from happening to you again in the future, I can recommend the extension [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/2324/ Session Manager]. It is quite powerful but may not be able to help you any more than the History at this point.
Please let us know how above works out, and if we can be of further assistance. Detailed feedback is appreciated and helps us to help more users with similar problems. -

Moving a too late phrase in a Logic Pro region there is no change
Hi.
When I cut, paste and move a too late phrase in a Logic Pro region to an earlier spot it does not change anything when played back!
May be it has to do with automation I have on it? It asks me move or don't move automation when I move it to the right spot, I tried both
no change. And I thought I new something about Logic Pro?! Thank you for your time and patience.
W.W.No.. it isn't likely to be automation...
Is it the entire region you are trying to move or a part of it?
If it is the entire region, just move the region in the arrangement window.
If it is a part of the region, split the region (using the scissors tool) and move the part of the region you want to play back earlier or later, to the place in the arragement you want it to play.. If you want the part of the Automation for that part of the region to 'stick' with the moved region, select yes to the "Do you want to move automation' question.. if not, select no...
Bear in mind the snap value controls exactly where you can drag the region to... It will automatically snap the beginning of the region to the nearest Bar for example, if you have snap set to Bar.... If it is set to Smart, it tries to make the decision for you which may or may not be what you want.. If it isn't.. set the snap value to an appropriate setting from it's drop down menu... depending on where exactly you want the start of the region to 'snap' to... nearest bar, tick and so on.. -
Spring dependency injection too late
I am using JavaFX 2 in conjunction with the Spring Framework, however the injection happens to late. My Controller is instanciated by the FXML-Loader, the Spring injection for member variables of this Controller works, but it works only too late, this means that in (1) injection yet didn't happen and in (2) injection did happen:
public class MainController extends AbstractController
@Autowired
public StatusBarController statusbarController;
// Implementing Initializable Interface no longer required according to
// http://docs.oracle.com/javafx/2/fxml_get_started/whats_new2.htm:
private void initialize() {
BorderPane borderPane = (BorderPane)getView();
borderPane.setBottom(statusbarController.getView()); // (1) null exception!
// Linked to a button in the view
public void sayHello() {
BorderPane borderPane = (BorderPane)getView();
borderPane.setBottom(statusbarController.getView()); // (2) works!
}Any way to let Spring inject statusbarController in an earlier state? I can't let the user have to click a button to load my GUI ;-)
My AppFactory is this:
@Configuration
public class AppFactory
@Bean
public MainController mainController() throws IOException
return (MainController) loadController("/main.fxml");
protected Object loadController(String url) throws IOException
InputStream fxmlStream = null;
try
fxmlStream = getClass().getResourceAsStream(url);
FXMLLoader loader = new FXMLLoader();
Node view = (Node) loader.load(fxmlStream);
AbstractController controller = (AbstractController) loader.getController();
controller.setView(view);
return controller;
finally
if (fxmlStream != null)
fxmlStream.close();
}Thanks for any hint!
Edited by: srynoname on 12.02.2013 04:43It's a while since I used Spring, but if I remember correctly you can define a set method for injection. So you could do this:
public class MainController extends AbstractController
private StatusBarController statusbarController;
@Autowired
public void setStatusbarController(StatusBarController controller) {
this.statusbarController = controller ;
Platform.runLater(new Runnable() {
@Override public void run() {
BorderPane borderPane = (BorderPane)getView();
if (borderPane != null) {
borderPane.setBottom(statusbarController.getView());
// Implementing Initializable Interface no longer required according to
// http://docs.oracle.com/javafx/2/fxml_get_started/whats_new2.htm:
private void initialize() {
BorderPane borderPane = (BorderPane)getView();
if (statusbarController != null) {
borderPane.setBottom(statusbarController.getView()); //
// Linked to a button in the view
public void sayHello() {
BorderPane borderPane = (BorderPane)getView();
borderPane.setBottom(statusbarController.getView()); // (2) works!
}I may not have remember Spring setter injection correctly, but it's something like that. -
I have an iphone 4s with Sprint. Ever since I switched from my iphone 3G with ATT, I have had incredible frustration with the voicemail system. Periodically, my voicemails on the new phone disappear; all messages old and new. This occurs out of the blue. Similarly they at times reappear, but the new messages have no content and all show up as 0.00minutes. Randomly, some messages retrieve their content and I can listen to them, often too late to respond to the caller. This is very annoying and almost questions why the voicemail exists at all. I have taken the phone to Sprint multiple times and performed countless resets with no recourse, hence they suggested contacting Apple. Has anyone else experienced this or know of a viable solution? iOS is up to date, phone only used in USA

Too Late for Mac OS Extended Journaled??
Hi guys! So i got a another firewire HD, 250GB by acomdata. It's formatted under FAT 32 for both windows and mac, after after reading several posts, it's best to format it under mac os extended. the problem is I already put about 30 GB of files on it. Is it too late for me to reformat it? do i have to remove all the files, then do it? If someone can provide step by step instructions that won't harm my files, I'd greatly appreciate it. Thanks!
You understand that if you reformat the drive for Mac OS Extended that you will no longer be able to use the drive on a PC?
If you do reformat the drive you need to do so as follows:
1a (If this is the startup drive.) Boot from your OS X Installer Disk. After the installer loads select Disk Utility from the Installer menu (Utilities menu if using Tiger.) Be sure to use the installer disk for the version of OS X you intend to install.
1b (If this is a non-startup volume or external drive.) Open Disk Utility in the Utilities folder of your Applications folder.
2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
3. Set the number of partitions from the dropdown menu (use 1 partition unless you wish to make more.) Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled, if supported.) Click on the Partition button and wait until the volume(s) mount on the Desktop.
4. Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the drive entry) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
5. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled, if supported.) Click on the Options button, check the button for Zero Data and click on OK to return to the Erase window.
6. Click on the Erase button. The format process will take 30 minutes to an hour or more depending upon the drive size. -

I am trying to watch Prof. Susskind's lectures from Stanford Univ. U-tube lectures work fine.With I-tunes, there is a synchronization problem between audio and video. Is there a way to fix this or the people who uploaded messed up and it is too late?
I had thought this situation was solved but it just got worse. In addition to being without service for several days I am now being charged a cancellation fee for a broadband service that BT disconnected in error. BT Vision was also terminated by BT but the set up charges are still in place. Does anyone know who the relevant Ombudsman is? I called BT from America on Friday - for an hour - while someone called Aruj sorted out why there is an order 'in progress' that I didn't initiate; why I have fees relating to a problem created by BT and why there are references to a house move that didn't take place and a BT Vision service I no longer have but didn't cancel myself. He assured me it would be rectified and my bill would be reduced by 139 pounds and we would get confirmation of this later that day. I asked him what chance there was that this would not actually happen - he said no chance at all; my new bill would be 23.50.
There was no text message. An online chat person today told me there had been a fee reduction request which had been declined and there was nothing else he could help me with as he dealt only with broadband. But he would get BT Vision to email me. They always seem so helpful.............
I'm sure I'm listed somewhere as 'a problem', there's no other explanation for why I get the runaround -

I ordered a MBP with the Apple Care. They already processed and charged me for the Apple Care (nothing mailed to me yet), but have not yet shipped my order. Is it too late to cancel the entire order? ill they be able to refund my money for the Apple Care?
In the UK if you can't cancel the order then you can just refuse the delivery. Apple will then refund. I know it doesn't help you in the USA but it might be of use to people in the UK. CoNsumer rights rule in the UK
