I HATE APPLE

thanks for the click2flash tip! I have it working now again, thank goodness.

hmm setting the screen rez to 1600x900 makes it better and doesn't crapify the monitor TOO much

I keep command-Q quitting finder, and all of my desktop icons disappear and the menu bar disappears, and it takes 5-10 seconds before they show up again. is this ... intended?

wow the apple store's website really shits the bed when you force it beyond a font size of 12

so during the grand demonstration, the imac froze from a webpage w/ flash loaded

thanks adobe

thought briefly about downgrading to snow leopard, but the idea of having to download 4.5 gigs over DSL in case I want to go back to lion was intimidating

I feel my control over my mac is slowly being eroded as steve jobs stamps on my face with his white new balance 991s forever

have had very few problems with lion

I'm still struggling to think of one single thing about Lion that made it worth upgrading from SL.

new mail app

mission control is kind of bogus as is launchpad which is dashboard for apps? didn't notice anything else tbh except that I can't put lion on any physical media that I own

waiting for the ars review

it's already out?

High-resolution cursor
In Lion, the cursor is crisp and sharp at larger sizes.

cool, Apple

I haven't installed Lion yet but I like the sound of revision histories and not having to tell TextEdit et al whether I want to save each goddam file when I close the app/shut down.

dayo, Apple just updated its support page with some thing that lets you create an external recovery disk for Lion: http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1433

yeah but it still doesn't let me upgrade sl on this mbp to the lion of our new imac, the stingy fuckers

ugh

Update on my "flash issue," here is a 53 page (and counting) thread on my exact issue:

https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3194165?start=0&tstart=0

Its not just limited to Flash either, any type of video AT ALL. Brand new comp and cant watch any type of video, awesome!

Lion sucks.

does rkaufmann eventually concede that there's a real problem?

that sounds a lot like what I encountered yesterday xp. thinking seriously about downgrading to SL

cool http://9to5mac.com/2011/07/28/users-report-video-related-freezes-in-lion/

I had the login freeze at the weekend.

This will probably be fixed in the next few days, if it's affecting that many people.

yeah likely, but I dunno if I should downgrade to SL permanently or just ride it out.

effort involved in downgrading to sl v waiting a few days for lion patch

otoh

effort involved in putting up with unuseable lion v using an operating system that works

Aperture has basically been unusable for me since upgrading to Lion. It's opened up a severe memory leak or performance bug somewhere, and the system crawls if I try to do anything.

stable release > new release w/ unknown quantity of bugs

only thing is, if I make a boot volume from lion I dunno what would happen if I tried to install it over SL in case I wanted to upgrade in the future.

Wrong time to say this but THIS is why jumping to a new major release is the worst idea ever.

fwiw i upgraded to lion a few weeks ago and havent had any problems at all. tho i dont do much but ride the information superhighway & use photoshop

The only issue ("issue") I've had is that Starcraft 2 seems to grind a bit after first loading, probably because the system isn't allocating enough memory and it's having to dump apps out of the cache. Who knows, maybe because of more innocuous reasons.

I really like all the gestures and stuff? I'm probably in the "this is a good awesome release" minority.

No issues here either. I'm on a MBP 17" from a couple of years back, with 4 gigs of RAM. I've held off on upgrading my iMac since it's a 2007 model with only 2 gigs of RAM & I'm not sure how it will do.

Can you really still not get a Macbook Air with more than 4GB of memory? Seems ridiculous.

haven't updated yet, last I checked some of my software isn't compatible, though I'm sure it will be soon. I don't mind waiting till more kinks are worked out.

the ars review isn't as overall positive as the SL one was, but I guess there are enough new 'innovations' to keep it around til they fix it

resolution independence... around the corner maybe? seems it's just a matter of updating all the little bitmaps

guess I'll use the 'workaround' which is to tell the imac to never sleep and to just turn it on/off when not in use

i upgraded because i figured the iOS 5 upgrade would be a must and i figured there might be a bunch of lion-only stuff?

best part of iOS 5 is you never have to connect it to a computer again!

ok, I just tried out screen sharing via iChat and holy shit that was simple and cool and awesome for tech support in the future

apparently you can't (or couldn't) copy to usb drives in lion? has this bug been fixed yet? cuz that is fucking lame.

I'm not bothering with this upgrade until i0S5 forces me to (like, if cloud storage for itunes doesn't work in snow leopard)

so I got an iPhone 4 and "restored" from iTunes. and now I don't have apps like FaceTime? how do I shot that?

the restore was from a pre-FaceTime restore backed up to iTunes? You should be able to access all the apps in iTunes and transfer them to the iPhone.

Am I right that my original MacBook won't run Lion?

ive copied to usb drives a bunch of times since i installed lion

I had the copying problem... restarted the finder and its been fine since

What the hell are you talking about? Facetime isn't a standalone app on the iPhone, it's rolled into Contacts or Phone app.

(go into your phone settings and enable FaceTime)

couldn't figure out how to downgrade lion to SL via usb stick

lion v.sluggish on bidey in's 2006 macbook

"apparently you can't (or couldn't) copy to usb drives in lion? has this bug been fixed yet? cuz that is fucking lame."

OH, wow, ya noticed this yesterday I could 'read only' my externals and couldn't change any access privileges! So this is a thing then huh?
