New Apple Lust Objects for 2010 and onward

#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.

aw shit, "no memory" so it can't be rebuilt. i guess time machine crammed it too full or something??? argh

should i just reformat my time machine drive and start over?

maybe first try entering time machine, deleting a bunch of really old back-ups, then disk warrior it again?

how do you do that? i looked for a way in time machine proper but it didn't seem obvi.

deleting stuff in Time Machine is super annoying, you have to click on the gear that is on the Finder window it displays to you that represents the backup and delete from there

I find it totally counter-intuitive

unless you can't afford another drive, if you decide to abandon this one i would start a new time machine on a new disk. check the old one can at least restore the odd file, then move it somewhere, e.g. your parents.
