  • Latest update 3.3 only for lion users? total mess

    apple did a major step to indicate that aperture is no app for "pro"users. If it should be that it should support not only the latest system version!
    latest update 3.3 only for lion users? total mess.
    I will look for another solution. Sad.

    Hi,
    I was wondering if somebody could give me some guidance please?
    I bought an N73 in September after much research and a lot of deliberating, I decided to purchase one (via O2 in England) even though i had heard lots of unhappy people claiming the phone had ruined their life etc due to its software faults.
    I haven't updated my phone yet since buying it mainly due to being put off by the number of NEW problems the updates can cause.
    I dont have any major problems with my phone, its got a bit slower with time and the camera isnt very quick when uploading and sometimes switches off (but i think its to do with the slide mechanism on the back), anyway i would be grateful if you would give me your honest opinion as to whether i should upgrade to the latest firmware or not!
    Many Thanks
    Richie

  • Pro Mac Pro Tip for Lion Users

    Been frustrated with your Mac Pro since upgrading to Lion?  Maybe I can help.
    I’ve spent the last few months just hating OS X Lion. I thought Apple should have given it a better nickname, like “System Hang” or “Patience is a Virtue.” I spent more time starring at the dreaded spinning beach ball of death than I did getting work done. Where I once kept open as many browser windows and tabs as I liked, I began closing everything I didn’t absolutely need right then. Aperture 3, which I adore, had become impossible to use.
    Things had gotten so frustrating, I was seriously thinking about doing a clean system install — something I used to have to do every 6-12 months with Windows, and was one of the reasons I made the switch.
    But there were other things I could do to speed things up, and here they are in no particular order:
    • Replace system HDD with a super fast SSD. But that’s expensive, and a hassle. First you have to clone your existing system on it, and all four of my drive bays are full. So I’d have to put the SSD in a FireWire-freindly enclosure, clone it the slow way, then swap it in for the HDD.
    • Put in a faster video card. This seemed the least-likely to do any good, and I’m not exactly taxing the card this machine shipped with more than two years ago.
    • New CPU. I could install a non-sanctioned EFI update, and swap out my quad-core Xeon for something sexier. But not only is that expensive, it also voids my warranty.
    • More memory! This is usually the go-to upgrade. It’s easy. It isn’t very expensive. And even if it doesn’t do a whole lot, you know you want it anyway.
    Now, this Xeon processor has three memory channels, but the motherboard has four memory slots. If you fill all four, your memory takes a speed hit — but you can fit in more memory. If you use just three matched memory sticks, the processor can take full advantage of its memory architecture.
    When I bought this box, I also picked up four 2GB memory sticks. I figured I could try it both ways: 3 sticks for 6GB of faster access or all 4 for 8GB of restricted access. Under previous versions of OS X — Leopard and Snow Leopard — things ran faster and smoother with the full 8GB.
    Well let me tell you: Lion does not like slow memory. Not one bit.
    Yesterday I ditched all four 2GB sticks and replaced them with three 4GB sticks. The 50% increase in memory space is a nice bit of room for Lion to run around in, but I’m wagering that leaving that fourth slot unfilled was what really did the trick. Because let me tell you, right now this Lion roars. All the bad things I said about Lion? I take them all back. And if you’re a frustrated Mac Pro/Lion user, heed my advice.
    At this very moment, I’m looking at email, 40 or 50 browser tabs in six windows, my calendar and iTunes blown up to full screen, ripping a Blu-Ray and crunching it down to 720p at 30fps, sorting through more than 2,000 RAW images in Aperture, doodling around with three different Pages documents, and two Christmas shopping spreadsheets — all strewn across nine virtual desktops, while in the background iTunes is serving up two video streams to Apple TVs upstairs and Time Machine is cranking away to keep my data safe.
    My Mac is a Mac again.

    Hi ...
    Avoid MacKeeper. Results of an ASC forum search for MacKeeper >  Community Search: Apple Support  Comments are discouraging for the most part. You don't need third party utlities installed to take care of your Mac. For the most part they do more harm than good.
    Not enough free space on the startup disk can slow the system down.
    Right or control click the MacintoshHD icon. Click Get Info. In the Get Info window you will see Capacity and Available. Make sure there's a minimum of 15% free disk space.
    Disabling the Lion "resume" feature may help.
    Open System Preferences > General
    Deselect:  Restore windows when quitting and re-opening apps
    You can use Lion Recovery to repair the startup disk and reinstall the Mac OS X.

  • Is mountain lion free for lion users

    is mountain lion free for lion users

    Keep in mind, as soon as that's offered, if it is offered, that's the time buy from a store a Lion installed Mac.  That way, in event you have Lion compatible software which hasn't been tested with Mountain Lion, at least you'll have the option to stick with Lion until Mountain Lion is ready for you.  So keep your eye on http://www.apple.com/pr and http://www.apple.com/macosx/uptodate/ once summer begins.  Apple has offered up to date programs for a long time, typically up to three weeks prior to the release date, and given you a chance to know when the release date is.  If you order online though, and they are out of stock, you may be stuck with a Mountain Lion only compatible machine.  An authorized Apple retailer should be able to carry at least some models through http://www.apple.com/buy/ so check their stock at that time for what you desire.

  • Will There Be a Fix (for Lion users)?

    Ever since upgrading to Mac OS X Lion, I've noticed issues with Adobe Audition, it kept freezing and crashing when I add an audio file as I'm post edit my radio show.
    Will there be a fix for it soon? It's been occuring since upgrading.

    Hello,
    As of now, there are no known issues with Audition CS5.5 on Lion (Mac OS 10.7). We are running the OS on many machines here and have found the application to be fully complaint with the new operating system.
    As for the crashing you are experiencing, let's try a few things to troubleshoot the issue on your particular system.
    First: The new Mac OS hides the Preferences folder location by default. Here's how you can "unhide" that folder:
    1. Open the “Terminal” application (Applications > Utilities > Terminal).
    2. Enter the following command and hit enter: chflags nohidden /Users/Your_User_Name_Here/Library
    Next: I suggest you try using a new set of preferences in case something has become corrupt.
    Go to the following locations and either delete (if you don't need  the old preference) or instead re-name these files or move them to  another location:
    /Users/User_Name/Library/Preferences/Adobe/Audition/4.0/ - Move or delete the "4.0" folder.
    /Users/User_Name/Library/Preferences/com.Adobe.Audition.4.0.plist - Move or delete the "com.Adobe.Audition.4.0.plist" file.
    Re-launch Auditon and try again.
    If this does not resolve the issue, please tell me if you are seeing this with a particular audio file or format.
    -- Does it happen with all files or just specific files?
    -- You mention that this happens when you add an audio file. Does this mean when you open a file in the single-asset editor or in multitrack?
    As much information as possible will be helpful for us in trying to narrow down the problem.
    Thanks,
    --Ron

  • What USB graphics adapter do you recommend for Lion?

    The Apple geniuses told me Kensington Universal Graphics Adapter.  It doesn't work, even after searching forever for and downloading the Lion drivers.  (Though there is a possibility that it is actually defective.  It isn't lighting up when hooked up which I would think it would do even if the computer is not seeing it.) 
    There are several out there that are Mac compatable but not necessarily compatable with Lion.
    I would like to run my MBP in clamshell with 2 external monitors. 
    I have actually ordered this one: PLUGABLE UGA 125 (displaylink DL-125 chipset) but I don't know for sure that it will work as it doesn't say Lion compatable.  Display Link has a Lion driver so I am thinking it might. 
    Any recommendations would be appreciated!

    I found one that works.  It is the plugable UGA 125 that I mentioned above.  You will have to download the Display Link Lion drivers.  It is also only good for resolutions up to 1280 x 1024 so if you have a monitor with finer resolution as I do then you will not have the best look.  Fortuntaley I only need it for email, web, etc. while I am running PS and Lightroom on my Dell monitor...so..it works.  It only took 6 weeks. 

  • Looking for Recommendations for Lion Server + Workstations

    I am looking to move my small business from a pc based system to a Mac Mini w/Lion Server plus a mix of new iMacs and 2 pc's running Windows 7.  Does anyone have experience with the successful implementation?  Would you do it again? or is the mixture more of a problem than going all Mac products?
    The new server would be the hub and the mix of iMacs and pc's would be used as workstations.  Email administration is a big question.  We need to be able to migrate our '@companyname' to the server and not use Groupwise any more.  We also need to be able to push to a mix of iPhone and Android phones.
    Any success stories and reassurance that this is the right direction to lead the business would be appreciated.
    Thanks...T

    I can recommend Macminicolo as a good choice for a co-located Mac mini server. Good people, good service.

  • Video card recommendations for Lion?

    Hi everyone - I'm still on Leopard but want to make the plunge to Lion.  I've spent the last two nights trying to install SL then to Lion as recommended, but couldn't.  I would get the Apple icon on install dvd boot, then the spinning wheel, then it would tell me to power off.  Reset PRAM, the whole works.  nothing. Finally stumbled upon some articles that mentioned that maybe it's my old video cards that were the culprit.  So two questions:
    1) Is that right?  I have two of the video cards seen below, and I'd rather not spend money to upgrade if not necssary.
    2) If it's the video cards, which I'm 95% sure of when reading the other articles - which is the best kind to get?  By best - I mean least hassle.  I'm OK to do a couple of things here and there, but rather not have to deal with firmware issues, flashes, etc.
    Oh - I do have a CalDigit RAID card, but I don't think that's the culprit... (?)
    Thanks in advance for your input.
    Tri
    Mac Pro 2,1
    Quad-core Intel Xeon, 3 GHz (x2)
    8 GB RAM
    NVIDIA GeForce 7300 GT (Slots 4, 2)
    CalDigit RAID card (Slot 3)

    Wait until Lion has matured; wait for drivers and apps to be upgraded and tested.
    And 7300GT is not much of a graphic card.
    Heck, you might look into an 8-core X5355 upgrade which have become popular and cheap.

  • CoreDAVErrorDomain Code=3 for Lion user

    So, up until oh.. today our office was getting along just fine and dandy with iCal. People were syncing on mobile devices, on their desktops, laptops and so forth. Mostly Snow Leopard, by the way, and one user who had already upgraded to Lion. Things had been working just fine, again, up until now.
    The error reported back on the user's Macbook Pro is this: The request (CalDAVAccountRefreshQueuableOperation) for account "so and so" failed.
    2/14/12 2:53:49.340 PM iCal: Account refresh failed with error: Error Domain=CoreDAVErrorDomainCode=3 "The operation couldn't be completed. (CoreDAVErrorDomain error 3.)" UserInfo=0x7ff03437b530 (AccountName=soandso, CalDAVErrFromRefresh=YES}
    Things I've tried:
    Deleted said account from iCal preferences, and readded it. Dumped and rebuilt CalendarCache, also the main iCal plist file.
    Ran disk permission verification and repair.
    Seems to be only with this laptop with Lion that it's happening as every other computer/user is having no issue.

    Its because MKPF-MBLNR does not have a Searh Help.
    You can create your own search help and add it in program in AT SELECTION-SCREEN ON VALUE-REQUEST FOR <field> event.
    You can get ample of sample codes in SCN on this.

  • Desktop/software recommendations for Compiz user?

    Hi all,
    I initially came over to Arch from Ubuntu+Compiz, so of course Gnome+Compiz was a natural fit for me. Have tried KDE a few times, up to 4.2 even, but never really got the hang of it.
    The more I think about it, however, the more I realize that I probably don't really need Gnome, as most of the functionality I need is Compiz-related. I do use a lot of the default Gnome apps, however, as well as the panel (purely for displaying an easy-to-click calendar), but primarily do my launching from Alt-F2 or Gnome-do, whichever comes to mind first. I do find the list of applications helpful, however, since sometimes the name of the application or launcher just slips my mind.
    So, I'm asking for recommendations on how best to proceed. Stay the same (compiz+gnome)? Get rid of gnome, keeping only apps I need (compiz standalone)? Get another desktop with compiz? Get rid of compiz altogether (difficult...)?
    Basically, this is what I use/need from compiz...
    1. Cube (negotiable) - seems the most natural representation of my multiple workspaces. Hasn't seen much use recently though, due to....
    2. THE SCALE PLUGIN - this has GOT to be my favourite compiz plugin, use it all the time to see what I have running currently and quickly switch windows. Alt-tab is SERIOUSLY underused on my setup.
    3. Desktop zoom - I sit pretty far away from my screens, and for detail work I like to zoom the entire desktop in with a simple <Super>mouse-scroll.
    4. Adjustable Window transparency - I use this for image comparisons, or just to read something while typing it into the terminal/text editor/whatever.
    Other desktop-related apps I have running are cairo-dock (originally meant it as a gnome-panel replacement, but didn't like the calendar implementation. Launch frequently-used apps from it though), Gnome-do (no explanation needed), and the requisite conky. I'm not actually sure whether cairo-dock has any gnome dependencies for operation... if so please let me know. I guess I could do without cairo-dock, at least, since its just a convenient store for all my launchers, at least till gnome-do goes multi-monitor (separate X) capable.
    So, on to my frequently-used apps, related to Gnome.
    1. Evolution - I was a Thunderbird user in Windows and Ubuntu, but Evo was just quite nicely integrated to the whole Gnome environment, like the calendar and stuff, unlike the cool-but-feels-a-bit-hackish Lightning plugin for Thunderbird (I haven't tried v3 with integration though). This is pretty essential now as the only means of downloading my Microsoft Exchange mail at work.
    2. Firefox - More gtk than Gnome, just thought I'd throw it out. Don't think this will be a problem in any case.
    3. Nautilus - I understand this is tightly integrated to Gnome. Have tried PCManFM, Thunar, and EmelFM2, with the last one being the best in my opinion, but always came back to Nautilus, just like the interface (wish for dual-pane though). I guess this could be adjusted pretty easily.
    So, any suggestions? I know most here have the opinion that everything eventually ends with tiling WMs, but that's a bit scary for me, plus I'm not sure if desktop zoom and adjustable transparency are achievable (especially for one-on-top-of-the-other comparison of images, as I do image-related research, and that's the fastest way to confirm the accuracy of my results). I do realize, however, that my love of the Scale plugin can be seen as a stopgap because I don't use a REAL tiling WM... Suggestions welcome, and sorry for the extra-long post.
    Last edited by ngoonee (2009-08-11 01:06:15)

    Well, seeing as compiz is a WM any of the other WMs are out. Essentially then, you're left with KDE + Compiz, standalone or one of the lighter DEs.
    If you're not a fan of KDE (same here, I try it every two point releases, but I can never get used to how it does things) then the first option is pretty much out. That and I'm sure the KDE team isn't focusing much on compiz integration, what with their own effects.
    Standalone works (with a bit of effort for start-up scripts etc). However, you may miss some of the little DE additions you don't notice until they're gone (like copy&paste that keeps the data even after the app you copied from has closed).
    I'd say you should look into XFCE or LXDE. My suggestion is XFCE. It's pretty much GNOME-lite. Similar panel, similar settings, similar little extras like a settings daemon.
    As for the apps - I've never had any problems running GNOME apps in it (though the libraries add to the RAM usage), it uses GTK+ anyway, and some of the XFCE apps are really great (Mousepad is a great little text editor if you just want to jot down some stuff and Thunar is stable and fast).
    Firefox will only ever have problems if you're running it in KDE, and that's just appearance-based stuff.
    The scale plugin - Awesome has a project called Revelation that I believe implements this. Compiz is your best bet here, though.
    Hope this helps.

  • Machine Recommendation for 50 users

    Hey guys,
    I'm looking to setup a network in a fraternity house. I have a server they can use, but I don't know if it has enough power.
    They need to split an unrestricted cable modem (potential bandwidth of 15-20mbit) to at MOST 40 users. I'll say 50 counting Xbox's or other gadgets they might have.
    The extra machine I have is a PowerMac G4 450 with 640mb. It's a single processor. I have access to a Dual 450, but that would be a hassle to transfer.
    They won't be running any sharing services. Just firewall, DNS, NAT, and DHCP. That should take care of what they need. I was planning on just running the Gateway Setup Assistant and letting it run.
    Let me know if they need more horsepower or if there is a simpler setup that wouldn't require a server and maybe just a higher end router.
    It is a mixed network with 15 macs and about 30 PCs and other gadgets like gaming consoles.
    MacBook Pro Core 2 Duo 2.16Ghz   Mac OS X (10.4.8)   2gb, 120gb, DL Superdrive

    Just to get this going (I don't have much experience of large bandwidth cable WANs)...
    If just really acting as an internet gateway, then I would go with the hardware router, purely for ease of setup and reliability. Only bit I'm unsure of is finding one able to take advantage of the available bandwidth (I'm thinking here of replacing existing 'modem' with combined modem/nat router. The G4 would work fine since the bottleneck will still be the cable bandwidth (rather than G4 processing, etc).
    I don't know whether os x server or a hardware router would be best from a gaming perspective, though.

  • ADSL2+ modem recommendation for UK user

    can any UK AEBS owners recommend a good ADSL2+ modem to use (i am a Sky LLU 16MB DSL user).
    i have been looking at the ZyXEL Prestige 660R-D1 which has been recommended as a good performing modem.
    i've heard some poor stories about netgear standalone DSL modems.

    no suggestions then i guess.

  • Cookie manager recommendation for Lion/Safari

    I was wondering if anyone has input on this?  Most of the threads I found in searching the forum were very old.
    While the generic "block cookies from 3rd parties and advertisers" Privacy Preference is ok - one still ends up with hundreds of garbage cookies (over the course of time) that have figured out how to get around the block.
    Ideally, I'd like something like a Whitelist - where I can approve/deny each one as it attempts to get through, and then maintain those on a long term basis.  All denied would be blacklisted forever - so cookies would be kept to a bare minimum 24/7.
    Alternatively, a cookie regurgitator would be nice.  Something simple that would purge all cookies every set amount of time.  If it had a Whitelist feature - all the better!
    NOW - for the HARD PART - it would hopefully be a Safari Extension (Apple approved) - and not install SIMBL or anything else evil on the Mac.  (I base this note on SIMBL from recent troubleshooting with Safari getting corrupted, and sage advice from one of the more prolific/well respected ASC Forum members.)

    Thanks Klaus!  From SafariCookies own site - "Safari Cookies requires SIMBL" 
    It would have hewlped if you had stated what OS you are using.
    Either you missed "Lion" in the title of the post - or you're just kidding?  But just in case I'm not understanding - it's Safari 5.2.1 and OSX 10.7.2 - AFAIK the most current of everything.

  • Need a WiFi laser printer recommendation for Lion and iOS

    I'm looking to get a new printer.
    Here are my needs...
    Home printing, maybe 10-20 pages per week
    Scanner built in
    Laser (I'm tired of being bled dry with HP's $30 ink jet cartridges that last only a month or two). Color is not important
    WiFi and reliable, at that...my current WiFI printer goes to sleep and doesn't wake up unless you go to the printer and press a button
    Budget $100-$200
    While I don't regularly need to print from iDevices, if it did it would be nice, this is not a top priority.
    I've done online searching and as soon as I see an attractive model, the ratings say "doesn't work with Lion"
    Thanks!

    I was in the same boat some months ago, and went with Brother MFC 9120CN. Its a bit over budget but fantastic, just works. They have a BW version as well which should fit your budget. (Never try Samsung had to send 5! back to factory..)
    Hope that helps

    "my HP scanjet 3970 is signed by lion as a pc power programm that is no longer supported."
    Perhaps the HP software is, however due check some of the thrid party software like VueScan and see if your scanner is supported. In any case I found success with Epson scanners.
