I HATE APPLE

how is this dude a reporter, is this real

I can't remember the last time a non-ActiveX website didn't work in Firefox on either Linux or OS X, so maybe he had installed noscript or something.

well that's the thing that confused me---how would firefox on osx somehow render differently on windows? isn't the whole point of firefox that it's the same across platforms?

There are definitely differences. In testing at work we've identified OS X-specific issues that occur in all Mac browsers and no Windows browsers.

also maybe he was using ie on his old pc

Can anyone suggest a way of automatically turning off time machine when I launch parallels? Sick of my computer grinding to a halt as parallels unpacking its virtual HD initiates a 30GB backup.

Is there a way of turning off 'voice control' on the iphone, and the way the ipod moves into shuffle mode if you're walking up or down stairs?

The best you can do is turn the code lock on to stop voice control. YOu can turn off shake to shuffle in Settings->Ipod.

Delay masturbation until you reach desired floor.

I use a program called Time Machine Editor to switch my Time Machine to only run once a day instead of every hour.

Every two minutes the Apple TV is asking me if I want to upgrade to the latest firmware. EVERY TWO MINUTES. Hopefully one of the things the upgrade fixes is this shit.

THIS IS DRIVING ME INSANE

Chose 'upgrade now' instead of 'upgrade later' by accident and it's stopped my music. SO FUCKING ANGRY RIGHT NOW

Maybe you should upgrade

This upgrade had better come with maggots.

i think it wants u to upgrade

FUCK U IPOD. "No Music" WTF. I can see the fucking files you bastard.

Is there an Apple utility that can rebuild your iTunesDB file?

I was writing a Python script that would do it until I ran into that fucking encryption thing Apple put in to force everyone to use iTunes because they are such incredible cunts.

You could drag the files from the drive into the iPod in iTunes.

I've heard that dragging just one song the iPod can repair the database. Worth a try as well? Do backups first though.

so i spilled beer on my macbook keyboard last night--i turned it off immediately, turned it upside down, let it drain... just turned it off and its working fine (so far) except keyboard shortcuts seem to be totally messed up--some of them dont work at all (command-tab), some of them only work from one command key (command-n in safari). doesnt seem to be a weird system preferences thing so im worried its a bad hardware situation. any hope for me?

maybe let it dry (while off) for another 24 hours?

if the keyboard needs replacing you can DIY for ~100$/£

unfortunately i need it tonight

"oh well"

HOYL FUCKL

Wrong thread, sorry!

external usb keyboard xxp?

external usb keyboard would def be a good temp solution

other than that you could try taking it apart and dipping the entire keyboard in 100% isopropyl alcohol

it's easy I do it all the time

yeah i dont have one lying around, and its not anything crucial, just annoying given how used to keyboard shortcuts i am. ill see if i can borrow one later, or just replace this bad boy. going on 4 years with this laptop anyway and my eye is starting to wander...

dont worry though ill keep this thread updated.

i rebooted my MBP and it hung at the grey screen - didn't get the ? indicating the hard drive dead, just a grey screen

came back later in the afternoon to see what was happening, still the same. cold booted it, same thing again - tried coldbooting it with the option key down to see if would boot off that, same thing - seems to be before that

on i think the 5th cold boot it booted up ok

my mbp from 2007 is fucked, it just makes the startup chime over and over when i turn it on. i think its the logic board >:(

old man yells at apple computer

i rebooted it again to see what would happen and its just rebooted fine - there's been no clicking to indicate a problem with the hard drive, and when it hung it seemed to be before it got to choosing which drive to boot off

maybe its just the time of year, i haven't really been at the races myself either

Sounds like time to back up all your stuff.

backed up w ccc on one partition and time machine on the other (then repeated with an offsite disk once a week ok month)

but the weird thing is...when it wouldnt boot...it wouldnt let me choose to boot from the external either, it hung before that point

(now it boots off both fine)

finally worked out how to wirelessly connect my MBP with my PS3. MAGIC.

why.... would you do that

probably to screen avi files from his laptop to his television (that's why I connected my MB to my 360)

you can also use your laptop as a floating hard drive and stream music through your tv. also wonderful.

is there anyway to screen share so we can watch hulu stuff or is it just folders and files??

just folders and files

lame

surely you can get a vpn client for a ps3, it is huge!

More of an "I LOVE APPLE" post, but...

I lost my iPhone a couple months ago, and assumed it was stolen, because I tried to call it immediately, and it went straight to voicemail. I ended up having to pay the "early upgrade" pricing to get a new one ($500).

Then, a couple of days ago, I got an email from the SF Apple store telling me that a good samaritan had turned in my phone, and that I could come in and pick it up any time. So maybe this is more of a "I LOVE GOOD SAMARITANS" post, but in any case... YAY!

So do you get your money back or do you just pointlessly have two phones?

I think my wife gets a new phone, or I could sell it, maybe?
