I HATE APPLE

thanks elvis - I had found the library but was annoyed at how hidden it was. My filenames okay, because it's mostly pdfs, but I can see a couple of epubs that it's done something strange to.

that's a good post & otm about the change. I guess the app won't get better quickly – books don't matter much to Apple afaict – so I'll switch to something else. That isn't Calibre.

Woo - 200 Target dollars in my pocket and ailing 1st gen. iPad off my shelf. Thanks, dayo!

hi 5, je55e

Hi mh. What do you want.

oh! lolol

As previously shown on this thread, I can't read very well, and I thought you just said "Hi, je55e" and I didn't understand.

we are $200 gift card bros

*cries*

Probably going to put that money toward a new TV rather than a new iPad or a new ton of random Target stuff.

MY IMAC IS FREEZING DURING BOOT ARGHHHHH. LAST BACKUP WAS TWO WEEKS AGO AND DISK UTILITY CREATE IMAGE IN RECOVERY MODE IS FREEZING AT AROUND %5

ANY INFOS ON DISKWARRIOR? MIGHT THIS HELP ME?

Maybe your logic board is borked

ive reset SMC and PRAM and those didn't help.. that's about all the hardware troubleshooting i know how to do ):

Do you have a clone of your hard drive

What happens when you try to boot from your backup

Maybe your logic board is borked

Definitely the shift-lock key.

unfortunately i opted against the bootable copy for space considerations so i just have a CCC files-only backup that's over two weeks old.. which is better than nothing but i'd rather get those 2 weeks back. lesson learned i guess /:

Dang

I'm all about time machine these days

so like, everything i've bought on iTunes now shows up on my phone with the little cloud download logo.

and if I shuffle all the songs on my iPhone it includes those songs

annoyed

There's a setting in prefs to disable that. Under Music iirc

OH THE AGONY OF CHOICE thanks stet

New desktop system sifting very much toward my old Windows complaint.

Would you like to install updates now or later tonight? HOW ABOUT WHEN I FEEL LIKE IT.

Can't wait for Clippy to show up and ask me for my mobile number.

it's 2013, Clippy's already listening to your mobile calls

ya i hate this

turn it off

how about apple turns it off.

seriously, when I get in my car, the radio's where I left it. the windshield wipers don't come on in case it's raining. it doesn't ask me if I want to put it in drive now or after i back up.

it does lock my doors automatically, and yes, i hate that.

Lol otm just turn it off

you turn it off

i will literally fedex my phone to you and pay for return shipping if you turn it off.

Instead of turning it off you should try complaining on message boards until Apple modified it and pushes out a new iOS update for you to download

GTA 5 gave me $500,000 in virtual dollars. Apple can do the same.

Hey people! my dad has a line on a used rmbp for $1250 and a used 2011 mbp for $1000. I'm trying to talk him into getting the retina with future proofing as my argument. Am I correct in thinking the retina is a much better deal? What other talking points should I be considering?

accessing network shares (i.e. my synology box) has become a nightmare, no matter what protocol i use :(

the only way i can get anything to work is Cmd-K then accessing my box via "cifs://" which i don't like to do, because that's the protocol for corny indie fucs

xposting from ITR because FUCK APPLE:

FYI Apple computers are really fucking annoying when something goes wrong with them

My 2009 iMac's DVD drive began to refuse to eject CDs the other day. I took it into the Genius Bar to have them get the CD out, which they were able to do. However, the drive now thinks it has a blank DVD in it even though it's empty. Furthermore, the drive makes horrible grinding noises every time the computer wakes up. I can replace the internal drive for over $150 or I could buy an external drive for cheaper; I can't get a Super Drive though because the firmware EXPRESSLY FORBIDS them from working together. Finally, the support for the machine is about to be end-of-life'd anyway due to its age.

Oh, and also the display is starting to show discoloration and will cost something like $500 to replace if I decide to do so.

If this had happened with a PC, I could have opened the DVD drive myself and replaced it myself, resolving this whole fucking thing in maybe 90 minutes. Speaking of which, I may be getting a PC this weekend because this fucking machine irks me.

buy a pc and if you want to get rid of windows use Linux - apple is a waste of money - unless you'r e rich

lol optical drives

if you have a way of digitizing 2000+ CDs that doesn't require an optical drive, I'm all ears

throw them out and start again. print is dead.

even worse, digitizing 2000 vinyl records

you can't use a generic USB cd/dvd burner?

I can, yes. I still need to make an appointment to have them disconnect the internal DVD drive so that it stops attempting to claw its way out of the case every time I start up.

borrow half a dozen external drives, rip six discs at a time, give drives back when done

my macbook has a optical drive spasm at weird times too - like if I go to open a file or something - maye its looking at all possible places a file could be or something

also my OS is obsolete and I cannot upgrade due to hardware - F U apple!!

also they were playing "How Soon Is Now?" while dude at the Genius Bar was running diagnostics and I was singing along and dude looked up at me, grinned, and asked "Rockin' out to some Depeche Mode, huh?"

I mean, come on

going to use this opportunity to share that I spent ten minutes thinking my computer was fucked up because I kept putting a blu-ray disc in the blu-ray drive I'd installed, and it kept ejecting the wrong drive tray

it turns out the blu-ray drive was the top one and I was just repeatedly putting a bd in the dvd drive
xp

lolol

YOushoudl have said "yes I LOVE depeche mode, especially when they had Lol Tolhurst!!"

haha perfect

LOOOL kids these days xps

this "kid" was mmmmmmmmaybe 3 years younger than me

or he's led an extraordinarily tough life, dude was weathered

always thought it was " I am the sun and the air" transcendental Moz

why would apple name its shithead minions "geniuses" - to make them more hate-able?
