New Apple Lust Objects for 2010 and onward

I have been having some thunderbolt display related freezes recently. Sometimes locks up when I am switching between full screened apps and needs a hard reboot.

Never have the issue without thunderbolt.

also fuck a mountain lion IMO, i'll be damned if i can name one benefit of upgrading to lion ... apps in full screen? longer, slower hibernation shutdown and boot up? face time?

s1ocki, reboot if poss and

1) paste the backupd stuff in console (see above)
2) open disk utility (also in Apps/Utils) and check it's SMART status, i.e. click your hard drive in the panel on the left and see if it says "SMART Status: Verified" in the bottom right

I am surprised how much I use full screen. Google apps in chrome at full screen is really nice although chrome has a bug that doesn't quite handle it properly.

Lion is pretty sweet imo, but part of that is my developer-sense understanding how much better the app security model now is and using all the magic trackpad crap

lion fixed a really annoying bug about a ridiculous edge case in time machine that i submitted to apple and an actual apple developer emailed me about, so it's ok by me, but it's a pretty feeble upgrade and i would never encourage someone to upgrade unless lion was coming installed on a new machine

#braggin

he gave me one klout

seems like lion's memory management might make an upgrade worth it on a lower-RAM machine?

yeah i don't use multitouch gestures or full screen but maybe once i get a new screen and new trackpad it will all make more sense

i understand the security angle but as a tradeoff we got the wonders of the app store *and* it's probably going to break fantastical?

oh wait i forgot about reverse scroll and the "bouncing" animation you get when you scroll to the top or bottom of something too fast

with the magic trackpad the gestures are pretty sick

the other day i came upon a website that was designed to be scrolled horizontally rather than vertically. you used to see this back in the 90s, with a few "edgy" sites but it was always stupid then, just different for the sake of difference. now with trackpad gestures it reallllly works

ah, here we go - http://www.pointephemere.org/?cat=10#4

I upgraded to 8gb on my mbp and it's been fine, I need more HD space tho

just got off the phone with applecare who had me jump through all the standard (PRAM, safe mode etc) hoops and told me to see if it happens again

till then tho:

Mar 28 11:21:11 Marks-MacBook-Pro com.apple.backupd[3458]: Starting standard backup
Mar 28 11:21:11 Marks-MacBook-Pro mtmd[34]: Set snapshot time:1332948073 (current time:1332948071)

Mar 28 11:21:23 Marks-MacBook-Pro com.apple.backupd[3458]: Backup failed with error: 19

there seem to be some weird chrome-related errors too

2) open disk utility (also in Apps/Utils) and check it's SMART status, i.e. click your hard drive in the panel on the left and see if it says "SMART Status: Verified" in the bottom right

for my internal or my time machine?

youre smart you can figure it out

(i dont see SMART status anywhere)

so obv im not SMART

(i dont see SMART status anywhere)

uh oh!

jokes

don't worry about the chrome errors

im also getting this right now as we speak, which i assume has something to do with it (my time machine is seagate)

you don't see anything like this (at least no the internal drive)?

http://www.pondini.org/OSX/DU9_files/DU%209a%20Disk%20Utility%20SMART%20status.jpg

i am a bit confused about which drive your problem is with

is time machine running now?

oh yes! i do see it, sorry i had clicked on the partition. it IS verified.

hmm, that looks like some weird seagate program? did you install anything when you got the drive?

SMART! xp

i am a bit confused about which drive your problem is with

so am i! i keep getting these kernel panic things, but ALSO, time machine is refusing to just go ahead and back up, it seems to stall out on "preparing"

and yes it is running now

and no, i never install that HD add-on software garbage... i don't think!!

i think maybe you did but i'm sure it's harmless

this just happened:

Mar 28 12:55:09 Marks-MacBook-Pro com.apple.backupd[363]: Finished scan

maybe it'll start backing up for real now?

fingers crossed anyway

yeah that is not bad news

still preparing :/

i feel like i've been preparing all my life for this backup

put me in, coach

be prepared

do you remember a panic happening during a TM backup? it could be doing a hardcore verification of the TM disk if that happened, in which case this is normal and good behavior

it actually hasn't done a full and real back up in a couple of weeks for some reason

and it is STILL preparing

i wonder if it is a prob with my time machine hd? is there any way to verify that u think?

I'm really nervous over here for you man

not that i know of. i think you need to sit tight.

the good news is you probably have a working backup in the snese that you can recover from it. if that's the case then you can always start a new time machine disk (via $$$)

where do i get this "$$$"

10.7.5 update

short film revenue iirc

I'm pretty sure that Apple is about to release MacBooks with retina displays, so if that matters to you, you should hold off buying until then.

so one prob seems solved, i think my time machine disk is corrupted. i'm diskwarrioring it now.
