New Apple Lust Objects for 2010 and onward

i actually do copy stuff over manaully, but that says more about me than it does about the OS. just do whatever works gbx

lol xp you monster!

mostly what i am interested in is knowing what, if anything, got transferred

I would bet it just on being files, docs, and preferences

probably also a sense of 'sibling envy'

The "gotta repair permissions after you do everything" people were the bane of the os x world for the last few years

I would bet it just on being files, docs, and preferences

i can't find anything!

Did you create an account on the new computer with the same username, and then attempt to migrate over an existing account?

ROOKIE MISTAKE

It probably created an account parallel to yours named "gbx2" or something.

(I have done this multiple times.)

i didn't! i intentionally created a differently-named acct to avoid just that

Pulled the trigger and am typing on an iPad at Potbelly. The one I have doesn't have the new OS updates.

Oh, and stopped at Marshall's and got a nice leather case/stand for it for something like $7.99.

hot tip: smart covers are THE shit

how do you repair permissions on ipad

lol

gbx: Migration assistant is really good for the Mac stuff. It mostly ignores any unix stuff, you have to move that yourself.

So did that happen? (I'm in the UK so we don't get it anyway)

Yes, it happened two days ago, that is why James posted it as a newsworthy picture

(lol)

ayo gbx http://yieldthought.com/post/12239282034/swapped-my-macbook-for-an-ipad

Jealous of gbx's iMac

Dayo I use atomic web on ipad and it's just like on a MacBook

Also took my 4S back to the Mac store and the 'genius' couldnt even run diagnostics on it so I got a brand new one. Yay!

Lately When my father in law calls he asks what everyone is up to and my answer is 'one is on the iPad (2 y/o), one is one the iPhone (4y/o) and one is on the iMac (pp). Makes for some peaceful evenings tbh

guys how do i burn video (.avi, etc) to dvds that'll work on a dvd player?

it's impossible, just kill yourself

i just did :(

o no

its realy sad he liked to fart and was crazy

Actually I think you are looking for http://burn-osx.sourceforge.net/Pages/English/home.html

anyone use airplay with their apple tv? mine craps out after about an hour every time.

Airplay through the Apple TV is sort of awful. I select my music directly in the Apple TV instead.

Works great for me! I have a relatively recent Time Capsule w/802.11n that the ATV is directly plugged into, though.

crazy that apple is replacing 1st gen ipod nanos. I have one that is absolutely dead - will not turn on. wonder if I can sneak it in.

airplay seems to have completely stopped off my MPB, wonder if it still works off my phone or the other computer in the house....

AirPlay works great for me on a pretty new Samsung TV, iPhone and a very old Onkyo amplifier. I don't think I've ever even tried it with my computer. Would be totally pissed if it did after an hour each time.

After five years (!) with my absolutely beloved first generation core duo macbook (my first laptop after fifteen years of apple desktops, and easily the best computer I've ever owned,) I'm finally ready to upgrade. In most respects it's still doing a good job, but the wifi cuts out whenever it gets hot, the battery only gives me 45 minutes, the left speaker's gone and the screen's starting to give signs of flickering. Now, the inability to upgrade to lion and a payrise has pushed me over the edge. So.

I know the issue of 13inch pro vs air has been discussed a bit already upthread, and I'm pretty positive an air would make more sense for me (I want an ssd, don't give a shit about the optical drive, like the idea of a higher screen resolution and the increased portability is a happy bonus.) The one thing that's given me a tiny pause for thought is the ram. This might sound a bit stupid right now, but I wonder if the hardwired 4gb will feel paltry in three years' time. I don't have particularly dazzling system reqs; beyond the obvious web/mail/vlc/itunes/office stuff, I tinker a bit in photoshop and keep photos in lightroom. And that's pretty much it. This probably isn't something I need to worry about, is it..?

upgrading to 8GB really made a difference with aperture - haven't noticed much else tbh. lightroom is supposedly much leaner, right?

with the price of RAM these days I wouldn't be surprised if 8GB were introduced as standard on higher end models. sucks that you can't BTO 8GB of RAM

Haven't tried aperture but lightroom is usable (but not great) on my current machine. Yeah that's something to think about too I guess - feel like I'd be more upset if in three month's time a new machine came out with a small processor iteration but double the ram than if it was an ivy bridge machine with the same amount. 4gb just seems oddly small for the max possible configuration on the highest-end air.

But I'm aware this might be a problem of my perception from years of "a ram upgrade is the single best thing you can do for your computer" rather than any grounding in reality..

(Which also makes me wonder - would I feel any real benefit in paying an extra 85 quid for the i7 over the i5?)

probably not - increased speeds are felt at the extremes, yeah? not in day to day use

Makes sense!

otoh if you are a "once every 5 years guy" you could justify it by saying, hey 85 quid over 5 years isn't a lot. I haven't regretted getting the middle of the road option back when I bought my mbp. I mean, you get used to it.

I definitely intend to keep this one for a similar amount of time, yeah. When I got the '06 macbook I went for the 2ghz core duo for that reason. Of course having never experienced the slightly lower-chipped one I've no idea if it's ever made a difference or not. And (circular logic time) this is I suppose the thinking that has me a bit worried about ram. Hrm.

how long do y'all think before we'll see something like --> http://twitter.com/#!/zcichy/status/131995137034297344

think it'll be, rather

2013, not 2012. But the small one will be ARM.

not mentioned: the smallest of the four sizes pictured is 17"

No way in hell.

Okay so here's a question -- my gf's iPad (first gen) is running iOS5 without a worry but she's noticed something with Photos that is leaving her a little frustrated: she'd like to prioritize her self-created folders for events and remove (hide/minimize/delete) those she doesn't need like 'last import' and 'saved photos.' I'm guessing you can't exactly do that in full but is there some way to do that in Photos for iPad or should she go for another photo app entirely?

I think you can choose which folders to sink going through the Photos tab of iTunes's iPad section (like when you plug it in). Don't know if this can be done through iCloud.

err, sync
