well i have now seen the "unsupported architecture" icon for the first time, twice actually within the space of two days - first for google chrome, then for the lightroom 3 beta
i guess a computer that apple was selling brand-new 4 years ago is considered so old as to be not worth even releasing one's software for?? fuck you

not sure if that's directed at apple, adobe or google but fuck you all anyway

indexing on snow leopard is ridiculous. every time it wants to index the drive, my 2.6 GHz 15" MBP - that i shelled out top-dollar for - turns into a laggy, buggy mess.
i hate you, indexing.
― moonship journey to baja, Wednesday, 28 October 2009 15:31 (fourteen years ago) link
I used to have that problem on my old 2 GHz MB, but haven't noticed anything on my MBP with Snow Leopard.
Might be that it's just indexing the drives at a more convenient time.

Christ, Apple. The exact-same Zing for iPhone app that they rejected a fortnight ago because they didn't like "henfap" as a keyword, has now been rejected because it might confuse you if you have no internet connection then try to log in to a server on the internet and it doesn't work. I have to make a big flashing "you have no internet" banner to make sure you are not confused. fuck apple.

I took my computer for repair the other day, a couple keys aren't working because of water damage from about six months ago and I wanted to know how much it would cost to get fixed. They quoted me $1280! "Well...other parts could be rusting and rotting inside...and you have a dent on one corner so that could've caused hardware damage...we'd have to send it in and list it as a Tier 4 repair, that's the most major kind, and the flat charge is $1280." "Really? I just have three keys that aren't working...." "You can get a refurbished macbook starting at $999!" Guess I'll just stick with my external keyboard then, THANKS APPLE.
― Maria, Wednesday, 28 October 2009 21:15 (fourteen years ago) link
haha, yeah they are terrible in that regard. when my internal HD died (2 months out of warranty, natch) they asked a crazy figure to repair it. i ended up buying a HD twice as big off newegg, took it to a local shop, the whole thing was way way less than what the Apple Store quoted me.

is time machine a horrible godawful slow mess for anyone else or just me? I can't even have it running on my mac mini (running snow leopard), it slows the entire thing down to an awful crawl.

finally figured out how to get rid of "Apple To Do" mailboxes from showing up in ALL of my IMAP accounts ON IPHONE
1. quit Mail2. open terminal, paste
defaults write com.apple.mail NewNoteToDoAccount -string LocalAccountId
and hit enter.
3. you'l still need to delete the mailbox on the server, but now it won't be created again.
is it just me or does it seem weird that leopard has the permissions to create mailboxes on my own mail server??
― Tracer Hand, Wednesday, 25 November 2009 10:55 (fourteen years ago) link
hey, that's just IMAP (4) and your mail server at work
― Britain's Obtusest Shepherd (Alan), Wednesday, 25 November 2009 10:59 (fourteen years ago) link
fuck now it's back.
WARNING. BUM TIP.
whatchoo talkin bout alang. it isn't my work mail server it's MINE OWN.
― Tracer Hand, Wednesday, 25 November 2009 11:06 (fourteen years ago) link
unless you have done skillz stuff to stop your mail server allowing it, IMAP clients have the ability to make folders when they like innit
― Britain's Obtusest Shepherd (Alan), Wednesday, 25 November 2009 11:10 (fourteen years ago) link
I have a folder INBOX.INBOX.INBOX.INBOX.INBOX.INBOX.INBOX.INBOX.INBOX.INBOX.Trash or something. It's pretty buggy.
― caek, Wednesday, 25 November 2009 11:12 (fourteen years ago) link
the whole point of using IMAP over POP3 is that IMAP can do stuff to yer mail server
would like to know how to get rid of To-do folder too though
― 囧 (dyao), Wednesday, 25 November 2009 11:16 (fourteen years ago) link
I have this golden vision of opening my mail program ON IPHONE and seeing "Inbox" "Drafts" "Sent" and "Trash" for each of my email accounts, and nothing else. Or even a consolidated inbox so I don't have to check each account individually but let's not get carried away.
― Tracer Hand, Wednesday, 25 November 2009 11:18 (fourteen years ago) link
I am sorely tempted to set permissions on /~Home/Library/Mail/IMAP-account/INBOX to read-only so that Mail can't create anything there (but would still be able to alter lower folders) but I'm a big scaredy cat.

has anyone here lost their ability to send out gmail in OS X Mail? I didn't change anything but one day mails in my gmail outbox just stopped getting sent; instead it just spins indefinitely. I've tried removing gmail from Mail and putting it back in, but nothing. And google hasn't helped.
― Yah Kid A (Euler), Wednesday, 25 November 2009 11:29 (fourteen years ago) link
Euler you may possibly be running into a mail relay situation with your local ISP - they may have changed their policy about what ports they accept outgoing traffic on. Have you tried sending it non-securely (port 25), or over port 465 or 587?
IMAP on Mail seems to just suck though. I've spent the last two days trying to get all my accounts moved from POP3 to IMAP, and I'm running into all these weird bugs, like the one caek mentioned.

are you using an IMAP prefix option in the account setup?
does this help?
