What is Reddit's opinion of
OS X Daily?
From 3.5 billion Reddit comments
100 reviews of this app found across Reddit:
They do it on purpose though to force people to upgrade.
Edit: Thank you for the gold and the responses guys. I just woke and I can't respond to everyone but I upgraded to a Samsung as well about 3 years ago. For the people debunking my statement, you may be right. I simply don't know however I do know that Apple is not fulfilling their customers needs by releasing software that may be less compatible with older hardware.
Just so you all know the easiest way to deal with this issue is not to update the software on your phone after the release of a new device. You can turn off 'Auto check for updates' on Samsung in the settings, not sure about Iphone. Here's some temporary solutions for Iphones.
As I've been cautioned. By all means if an update is security related please go ahead and do that in order to keep your data secure.
I had a PDF sent to me on my Macbook that I had to sign. I don't have a printer and didn't want to go drive somewhere to print it/scan it. Then I learned that you can just sign a white piece of paper, hold it up to your mac's camera and it will take your signature and draw it on the PDF. It was awesome
EDIT: Here's a link [link]
EDIT 2: On preview select the button to "show edit toolbar", or do this from the view dropdown menu. Then you should see a button with an S drawn on a line, this is the signature button.
Apple will give you a free upgrade to 10.5, that's the issue, not the hardware, it's the people that won't pay $29 for an upgrade to an OS that's been out for 3 years. So, now Apple will give it to them for free: [link]
This may not be the case everywhere, but it seems Apple may send a free upgrade to Leopord in some cases. Even if not applicable here, may be worth remembering for Redditors in the same situation.
... then a techie reddit user advised them to change their MAC using some of the surprisingly easy methods found on the net. ;)
Of course, this won't work if they have opted to block all MACs except the ones they have specifically registered on their router. You can spoof those addresses but that would kind of be a dick move.
Don't even need a DVD or any kind of "install disc" these days.
It's all done by the (uefi) bios.
Saved me a bunch of times.
The values are always negative. In my experience, around -50 is pretty much the best reception possible, while about -120 is the lowest you can go without losing reception.
>Anything above -80 is good, and would be considered full bars
>Anything below -100 is bad, and would be considered few bars
Did you check Activity Monitor to see if there were any background activities going on? I'm specifically thinking about Spotlight, which will take over the CPU when it's indexing. And the initial indexing can take hours, sometimes days. Then there's the whole systemstatsd issue that occasionally appears. I've personally experienced both on my early 2011 MBP. And with the new MacBook, the other signs of this kind of background activity - HDD thrashing and CPU fan kicking on and spinning hard - would be absent.
Here's the advice I usually give new OSX owners:
1.) Don't kludge up OSX by rushing out and downloading a bunch of 3rd party crapware.
Two of the best things about OSX are:
- It doesn't come with any bloatware.
- It has a lot of great functionality (that most people never take the time to discover)
Spend a few weeks with your machine.. digging deep into it.. and using it like Apple intended. Don't rush out and install a bunch of 3rd party bullshit. The leaner/meaner/simpler/cleaner you keep the machine.. the better it's going to run.
You should REALLY resist the urge to install things. Try to solve any problems you run into WITHOUT installing extra crap. You may find situations where you MUST install something -- that's fine.. but try to make it the rare exception and not "standard practice".
IE = Don't "add complexity". Try to keep your machine lean/mean/simple/clean.
2.) Have Backups.
The built in Time Machine feature.. makes this drop dead easy. Buy an external HDD and plug it in and use it for Backups. Don't be "that guy" who doesn't have Backups.
3.) Keep all your stuff updated. Seriously.
Your OS updates. Your App updates. Your Browser updates. Any App you use regularly/daily. KEEP THINGS UPDATED. Again -- don't be "that guy" who never updates and then complains that things run shitty. Keep your shit updated.
4.) Spend some time getting to know how www.icloud.com works.. and especially how things like "Find My ......" work. Mentally think through what you would do if your Mac was stolen or lost. Consider setting a Firmware password so a thief cannot boot/wipe your drive. Consider setting a "Lost and Found" message on the login-screen ([link]) ... all of these things combined will help protect your system.
> "Lack of Font management."
You can mass install Fonts using Apple Configurator. (here's an example: [link] ) .. the screenshots in that URL are a fairly old version of Apple Configurator,.. but the concept is the same. We do this in the organization I work in,.. during Airwatch MDM enrollment, we silently bulk inject approximately 52 fonts.
> "Inability to save files from web. Hopefully this changes with Files.app but if I find an image online I’d like to save to storage, I’d rather it there than in my Photos library. There is no easy way to save media in Safari to the file system even with the new Files app. Sucks."
Not sure what you mean by this. Safari should allow you to download whatever file you want -- presuming you have an App installed that supports that specific file-format. You can download MP3's directly into VLC. You can download image-files into any/all Apps you have installed that support the image format you're trying to download.
> "No way to View Source in Safari."
This doesn't work ?.. [link] (or there also appear to be numerous Apps in the App Store that will View Source)
>Don't you remember all the tablet designs before the iPad? Here's a reminder.
Obligatory counterpoint about how that picture is highly misleading, how they carefully selected "rugged" tablets for medical and in-the-field use, and how sleek and stylish tablets existed before the iPad.
Perhaps the NK leader ordered the interface change based on his personal preferences. From the link: NKNews says the photo can be “confirming long-held rumors of the Kim family’s passion for Apple Macs.”
You got DNS Poisoning, based on certain websites it can do anything with your traffic. Read more here: [link]
Edit:
Here we have a great article about this, but unfortunately it's not in English.
You just need to wipe your Safari's data (Cookies, History Etc...), If you have this problem on Wifi just change your DNS (Tutorial here)
The update to 10.5 is free. That's what no one understands here... All he has to do is install a free update and it will work. I would hardly call that, "making it difficult."
Apple takes care of their customers VERY well. They will upgrade you to 10.5 for zero dollars. I'd say that "just works" for me.
> How does Apple not have a monopoly?
By having only a market share of below 20% in the EU5 (less when UK leaves) and probably below 15% EU wide.
![[link]](http://mspoweruser.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/kantar-may-2016.png){kind=link}
Arguably the numbers for late 2016 look a bit better since Apple has a different release window than other OEM:

In general, what you are talking about is a very US centric view because both iOS as well as in part MacOS (popular only in some nations, but way less popular in most European nations and not relevant in Asia) are way more popular in the US than they are in Europe. The average German doesn't even know what iMessage is for example.
Considering they are number one in customer satisfaction its pretty obvious they treat their customers well for the most part.
I've never run into trouble with my MacBook, but I was allowed to return it for a full refund 3 weeks after I bought it instead of the usual 2.
These are the steps I followed to get it:
- Download El Capitan from the purchases in the App Store
- Use Pacifist to extract /System/Library/CoreServices/Menu Extras/Battery.menu from Essentials.pkg inside of the OS installer
- Remove the battery estimate from the menu bar
- Copy the old file to a permanent location, and open it
If there is sufficient interest, I can write a more detailed tutorial on my website.
Edit: I figured this out on my own. Just now I did some Googling and realized that (obviously) this has been done before. See this OSXDaily post for a detailed tutorial.
According to the following article 70% of freshmen are using macs. Article from August 2010.
Edit: amazing what happens when you google something, and I didn't even use any of the fancy tricks from the Lego instructions above!
Edit 2: forgot the damn link...
Please forgive sloppy and possibly sarcastic post- waiting in line at the grocery.
Ser du har brukt Gyazo til å ta skjermbilde av hele skjermen, så tenkte jeg skulle dele et par alternativer, siden Gyazo tilbyr veldig lite fremfor den innebygde funksjonaliteten i OS X.
- Cmd-Shift-4 gjør om markøren til et crosshair, og du kan ta skjermbilde av et utvalg
- Cmd-Shift-4 og deretter space gjør at du kan ta skjermbilde av et vindu du flytter markøren
Cmd-Shift-4 fungerer også dersom du vil ta bilde av menyer på skjermen. Hvis du holder nede Ctrl i tillegg til Cmd og Shift, så havner skjermbildet du tar på clipboard-et i stedet for som fil på skrivebordet, og da kan du laste opp rett til Imgur ved å rett og slett gå til Imgur og trykke Ctrl-V. Fullstendig referanse her
Video/GIF/Screen recording, sa du? Innebygd i OS X det og. La den tjenesten du laster opp til ta seg av konvertering til animert GIF om du vil seerne dine så vondt.
TL;DR: Gyazo gjør lite som ikke OS X gjør bedre sjøl.
Here's a simple script to do it. [link] You'll need iSightCapture to take a picture via terminal.
I really wish they'd not make the same mistakes Unix made - especially with respect to naming. Naming things tcpd and /sbin is just awful. I imagine everyone reading this is very familiar with Unix and can probably barely remember the first time they read /etc and thought "WTF is that? Why isn't it called /config?" and they you would find out that the only reason is for compatibility with punch cards and teletype (or some rubbish like that) and think "Oh I hope one day someone will write a new operating system and give it sane names like Apple did."
You don't have any compatibility concerns. Please name things clearly and sensibly!
There are other mistakes that look like they are being repeated - reliance on environment variables like PATH, overuse of text based config files.
Sorry to be negative - this really looks like a great effort but I doubt there is going to be more than one new Rust based OS so I think it is important to not just make "Unix written in Rust" along with all its mistakes.
Seriously they may be crappy at making rockets and just generally utterly insane but they're also very smart with being evil.
Domestically they also have their own internet. And no I don't just mean they have a "great firewall" like China, I mean literally, [they invented their own network containing only government run websites.]([link]) But how do they control your computer use when you're offline? Well they invented their own Linux based Mac knock-off operating system. And it's the only one you're allowed to use of course. Except Kim Jong-un himself, he uses an iMac.
NK really does fascinate me. Fucking weird crazy place.
!!! I only own one computer, a Macbook pro, but I love Starcraft. The phenomenon you're describing is called mouse acceleration. Basically, if your mouse moves slower than some speed, OSX will decelerate your mouse by a certain factor, which is supposed to make it "easier to use."
You can fix it with a program called Mousefixers. Here's a link to a forum post on TL that describes what it does and how to get it.
OS X is now rootless by default, that is even 'administrator' accounts do not have access to core system files/components and included in that is UI elements such as these.
It is possible to disable this but as you are finding the theming community for this kind of stuff has mostly dried up since the change and you won't find the tools etc. that there used to be which are likely no longer functional even if you do disable it.
I discovered this all looking into how to get rid of the god damn drop shadows and decided it wasn't worth the effort or risk of mucking about under the hood.
The phone is in field test mode and displaying the reception in db, its not the temperature. If you are interested on how to do it
Btw the SATA speed of your computer is most likely only 3GBps so you need not spend money on the latest and the fastest because your computer won't be able to make use of it. Go for the cheapest samsung available.
Also turn on TRIM - [link]
I have better luck with the command-line <code>softwareupdate</code> utility. The GUI is rather inconsistent, especially for large downloads.
That looks like the firmware password screen to me. If you didn't set one on purpose you can change it by removing or adding RAM to the machine and then reseting the PRAM. This link will help.
I turned off the desktop in the terminal because I wanted to economize on processes running in the background (2008 Al MacBook running Yosemite). It might have helped a little: [link]
The desktop is still a place on my Mac, but it just isn't drawn behind all my windows in the background.
Right click the volume in Finder, select Encrypt "nameOfDrive"... and fill in your password and hint, done. Guide here if needed
You can also make a disk image with Disk Utility and encrypt that to protect select data on the image. And move it wherever it's needed. Disk, USB-stick, whatever.
I did a quick search and found some tutorials for these. Note that these are dated 2010 and 2011, so may be out of date but in my experience not that much changes in the terminal generally speaking between versions of OSX.
That said, here is the normal disclaimer for finding terminal code on the internet: Blindly running terminal code (or code of any kind) can potentially screw up your system or leave you exposed to attackers. Please do your research before running anything as no one else can really protect you. If in doubt, just don't do it.
From OSX Daily:
You don't have to pay anything to upgrade to 10.5
Or you could upgrade to 10.6 from 10.4 for only 30 dollars.
> For tech savy people like most people on /r/technology, Apple products aren't really designed for us.
I disagree with this assertion. If you don't mind I'm going to go on a bit of a rant.
I'm a computer science graduate student at a top 10 school in the US and I personally use a Macbook Pro and an iPhone. I find this to be a common trend in not only academia in general, but specifically in CS. And not just WebDev, but all disciplines. My professor for software engineering uses a Mac. Are we not tech-savvy enough?
NASA scientists use a ton of Macbooks. Are they not tech-savvy enough?
I could go on but I'm sure you get my gist. There's this odd myth that Apple products are exclusively for the elderly or non-tech savvy. I guess it's hard to believe that something can be both user friendly and powerful.
I try my best to be non-biased and as such own Android devices, Windows powered workstations, and control Linux based servers. They're all good tools.
The problem with your assertion is that it propagates this idea that anyone who chooses an Apple product is not tech-savvy, but that's no truer than the idea that everyone who uses an Android is a rooting, ROM flashing, bitcoin mining, power user.
Anyway, sorry for the rant and wall of text.
Yes, those come from iMessage/Facetime, and look like this. Really incredible that they don't tell you which app, but it's astounding that they don't explain that your normal password will never work — you are required to use an app-specific password. Described in this article.
I understand that this is resolved for you, but just in case someone else see this post, it's probably better just to try to wait it out.
I've seen this with some of the machines I've updated and it's taken a very long time to update. (Several hours.) I've left those run over night to come back to a working system the next morning.
For reference: [link]
This is in fact a feature of iOS and has been since iOS 5.
Just because you can't see it happening doesn't mean it doesn't exist kids. Let's remember our basic physics.
Just install virtual box and then iTunes for windows. All free, need like edit: 15GB of space but you can uninstall after you are done.
I did it last night and does not take long at all.
This right here:
Guess people don't care as much as I did, but I would often use the flashlight for periods of time and a quick tap on the home screen would shut it off. Just thought it a nice convenient trick put in there by Apple. Truly not the end of the world, but 'twas nice.
I had been having the same problem and this is how I got around it:
You have to have your phone connected to wifi, then go to settings and touch the blue arrow next to the wifi network you are connected to and on the DHCP tab go to DNS and change it to “8.8.8.8″ for Google DNS, or “208.67.222.222″ for OpenDNS.
Got the info from here: [link]
This is actually due to Lion's resume feature. You can disable it globally by going to the General tab in Sys Prefs and unchecking "Restore windows when quitting and re-opening apps"
You can also do it per-app: [link]
Remember to change your MAC address daily to thwart trackers:
openssl rand -hex 6 | sed 's/(..)/\1:/g; s/.$//' sudo ifconfig en0 ether xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx ifconfig en0 |grep ether
No special program necessary. You can run any screensaver as wallpaper with this command: "/System/Library/Frameworks/ScreenSaver.framework/Resources/ScreenSaverEngine.app/Contents/MacOS/ScreenSaverEngine -background".
Here's what it looks like ([link]) and here's the screensaver I'm using ([link]).
Edit: You could use this ([link]) combined with the command above to run whatever video you like as a wallpaper.
No, in pretty much every iOS since I can remember, you could do two finger tap to select a whole block of text. See this article: [link]
That feature no longer exists in iOS 9.
> Newer ones I can't speak to.
Starting ~2010 Intel CPUs included Advanced Encryption Standard Instruction Set (AES), which provides hardware acceleration for AES-based encryption (which Filevault 2 uses).
>The I/O performance penalty for using Filevault 2 was found to be in the order of 20 – 30% when using CPUs with the AES instruction set, such as the Intel Core i.[13][14]
This quote is from an July 2011 AnandTech article testing Filevault 2 performance. If taken by itself this quote is pretty damning of FV 2 performance. However, the second article linked in this Wikipedia entry reports a very different experience:
>it’s likely you won’t even notice that [FileVault is] on. The truth is, the benefits of Lion’s disk encryption far outweigh the nearly insignificant drawbacks, especially if you’re talking about a new laptop with an SSD in it.
and:
>Bottom line: if you have a Core i3, Core i5, or Core i7 processor, you’ll barely notice the impact of disk encryption, regardless of whether you’re using an SSD or traditional platter drive. Is a tiny performance hit worth the peace of mind of total data security? You’ll have to decide, but if you have sensitive data and a newer CPU on your Mac, it probably is.
Speaking solely from personal experience, FV 2 has had a negligible impact on system performance, and anyone buying a Mac today - especially if it has an SSD - should not worry about any significant performance degradation (although boot up time will be slightly longer).
I performed a test and made sure my settings were set to this (they already were). Then I searched for "test" and Spotlight still shows "Bing Search" for any text entered. In addition, when I say to Siri, "Search the web for XXXX" results returned are from Bing too unless I say, "Google for XXXX" where it opens my default web browser. So, it seems unless I'm missing something, this does not work for OP's request. In fact, the Siri issue is mentioned practically word for word, here
There are less Macs, so it's less profitable to make things for Macs. It takes a lot of effort to make something run on several platforms at once. Since the PC market is so big it makes sense for many games to be made specifically for it.
If you really really really want to play something for the PC, you can try Bootcamp. Here's what a moment's googling brought up for playing Skyrim in bootcamp.
Tiger users can buy the 30 dollar version too.
Or Apple will give them Leopard for free
Double mod bots? this is getting out of control!
I'm not too sure on Apple products, might get more help in /r/applehelp/
Only thing i could suggest is this:
see what is running and if there is anything unusual listed there that you don't recognise.
Did you have the video full screen? ask your partner if they did anything in the video for it to appear or anything happened on their end as well.
Oh yeah, I had to install such a driver on macOS yesterday and to make it work I had to boot into recovery mode to disable system integrity protection, then reboot and finally patch the driver myself to make it recognize the USB IDs of the dongle I used.
On Linux, you just plug in the adapter and it works right away.
iOS has had the ability to recognize common tracking numbers for a long time.
I think the only recent change (as of iOS 9.0) was that the system now parses Notes.app for tracking numbers for flights and shipments, as opposed to limiting that functionality to Mail and Safari.
I don't think anyone ever plans to downgrade but sometimes when using beta software, especially on your primary device, things go wrong and you need a working device. Beta software may include new features but they're very prone to bugs. I've had everything from rapid battery drain to "No Service".
If you're willing to accept that risk, then a backup really isn't necessary.
I would recommend buying a monitor to connect to your macbook when you are at your campus. Another thing. Keep in mind that the 13" macbook pros do not have an n Vidia card in them. That could be an issue, but it probably wont.
Yeah, why would anyone possibly want to build a virus that mainly targets affluent Europeans and Americans?!
Mac isn't like linux. They have a significant market share and they have that market share mainly in wealthier countries.
In general, mac accounts for +-6% of computers. In EU and NA this can be as high as 10-15% Windows malware doesn't have a 50000x bigger return. We are talking a best case of 20x, but realistically 5 to 10x more return because you would be able to get more money from Europe and North America than you can from China or India.
This is of course a lower return on investment when compared to Windows, but the market share difference is not enough to explain why Macs get less malware. With this difference you would expect between 5 and 20 times more malware for windows than mac. This isn't even close to the disparity you are trying to explain.
Just FYI, since you are getting down voted instead of responded to, which is bad because your point is on topic and not trolling. This is just a write to disk and read test, so there isn't anything you can do to influence this as far as app to SoC optimization because on such a simple software task that cpu is never the limiting factor.
HOWEVER, another reason you are getting downvoted that is completely bullshit is that you may be correct in a way. If this is due to the fact that one phone is fully encrypted and the other is not, which is quickly looking to be the case, and other platforms which are also doing their encryption in hardware are not seeing nearly the performance hit, there could be a software implementation issue that is causing a greater than normal performance degradation which future operating system updates could address.
> Firstly, if the hdd has been shown (by seagate) that it can run osx, would it not be possible to just install osx on the harddrive?
Yes. You'll need to find someone with a working Mac, but you can use that Mac to create a bootable USB installer for Mavericks.
Fundamentally, this should also be doable with dd on Linux. I'm not sure of any step by step guide. Theoretically, if you can mount the OS X style .dmg on Linux, you can use dd to copy that onto a bootable USB. In theory that should work, but I've never done it.
> Is this a apple money making thing
100% It's purely about them not being willing to support third party hardware in one of their sealed boxes. There is no technical barrier here, other than those Apple legally imposes on their technicians.
> could I buy one of those slightly dodgy osx installation disks off ebay and do it myself?
Depends on the age of the Macbook. If it's old enough to support the last version of OS X that could be installed by official Apple install disks, that's probably okay. The problem is that newer Macs won't load the older versions of the OS. I wouldn't even remotely trust an "installer" you find on ebay for something like Mavericks which has no disk-based distribution. Basically you need to find a working Mac from Apple and use that to create install media for your machine.
> Any help massively appreciated
If you have bad luck getting OS X on it because of Apple's insane policies, and the Macbook is one of the Intel macs, you can put Linux or Windows on it just fine to get it in a usable condition.
To keep you Mac clean, just a damp rag is all that is needed. No Windex or screen cleaners in a bottle. But seriously…
Mackeeper, CleanMyMac are nearly malware. Terrible choices. Do not use.
Onyx is a great tool but can get you into real trouble. It should be used with caution.
Cocktail is silly. It's basically sticking a GUI on basic system services.
If your machine is slowing down, here are some good steps to take before you mess things up. You won't have to do this very often (if at all really):
You see, none that is very hard and you don't really need additional software to do these tasks.
For me it's iTunes or Spotify. Nothing wrong with these apps, although the tinkerer in me wishes Foobar was available on Mac. For EQ I use AU Lab.
I equalize only for my M-100 — boost 4kHz by 2dB, 8kHz by 3dB and 16kHz by 1dB to liven them up at the top a little bit.
I'm seriously considering the non-retina display as well. It's currently getting overshadowed by its pretty sister, but you can't doubt its impressive benchmarks.
This article helped convince me after I'd all but made up my mind. The way I see it, Apple just shook things up, but focusing only on the Retina Display is like saying you'll only play video games with the best graphics. There's more to experience than just eye candy.
It'll be a couple of years for the computing world to completely adopt the standards suggested by the MBP with retina display. At that point, if I haven't had a need to increase the (now cheaper) RAM and swap out the (now obsolete) optical drive for a (now cheaper) SSD, then I'll consider the (better and/or cheaper) retina upgrade.
Here are instructions for how to back up an iPhone to an external hard drive. However, I would recommend instead using iCloud for iphone back-ups. It works really well now and is more stable. At the very least, I would do it as a secondary back-up option. Lately, iTunes is resulting a lot of people having corrupted back-ups, which you only discover when trying to restore a new iphone from a previous back up (a problem that doesn't seem to occur with iCloud back ups).
There's a link in the description, but it's from the galaxy theme store for 95c. Just Google "colour powder explosion" or "colour dust explosion" and you'll find tons of similar wallpapers.
Are you shutting the lid or sleeping or turning your computer off? I'm pretty sure it requires your password after a reboot.
Hold option then right click on file. Apparently CMD+Option+Del should work.
You shouldn't need to partition, shit tends to not get fucked up on Unix. If you expand the Macintosh HD drive your user folder is on a separate path. If you really want to try to partition use disk utility(you might need to boot to the recovery partition first w/CMD+R while restarting). I would recommend keeping the default partitioning tho.
Boot camp performs better but you need to reboot for it. Your choice.
Go here for a guide to edit your hosts file(think of it as a local pihole. This is a really good list. If you do this things apply system-wide, instead of just your browser.
If you type in a webpage's name safari will automatically redirect to the site most of the time.
I'd also suggest installing BetterTouchTool for a butt ton of extra utility.
- Remove old drive, install new drive
- Hold R key while booting to access recovery partition
- In recovery partition click Tools in menu bar at top, select Disk Utility
- In Disk Utility select SSD, click Erase give it a name (Macintosh HD, Macintosh SSD, My Awesome New Drive, etc). Erase.
- Close Disk Utility
- Do an internet restore, reinstall OS on SSD.
Optional: Use SATA USB adapter and migrate / copy profile and file information.
Once fully installed and you're back at the main OSX screen:
- Go to Applications -> Utilities and open Terminal
- Type sudo trimforce enable.
- Enter your password, reboot when prompted.
This enables TRIM, which isn't entirely required but may be helpful (and costs you nothing).
PSA within PSA: If any of you have MacBooks and you don't feel like changing your router settings, you can use the Macbook's Internet Sharing option instead. I tested it about 5 minutes ago, and I was able to get Hoopa without changing any router setting (mostly for convenience sake). Network Name is considered the SSID, and as long as you change the WEP network to that name and don't set up any password, you will get the event.
Make sure you have no connections in the 3DS Internet Settings, and enable internet sharing first. Then allow the 3DS to find access points and use the McDonalds Free WiFi as your primary connection. After that, proceed to get your event.
Here's the set-up tutorial I used when I wanted to connect to online using WEP for the DS: [link]
No. It's not available in every app.
>Modern versions of iOS introduced a new gesture-based method of navigating back to prior pages, screens, and panels throughout many apps on the iPhone.
Your statement is like saying on android swipe from the left side and you will get a navigation drawer.
I've never developed on iOS but I imagine that the swipe to go back has to be implemented by the developer.
The link has a cute video of a disk ejecting. On that page you can find a link which corroborates osxdaily's claims.
A few years back we aliased Word on a user with a known good sense of humor to play a Rickroll via the terminal: [link] That file spread around the company faster than naked cat pictures.
When you get the download link, it redirects to the App Store and starts downloading the OSX El Capitan app just like if you were to download Yosemite from the store. Once that's finished downloading you can create a usb boot disk. This link should help creating the book disk
When you sleep or close the lid on your Mac, it writes its memory out to a sleepimage file. When your Mac wakes, it reads the file into memory again. This also means that there's a file on your computer that is equal in size to the amount of memory you have. The fast sleep/wake times are worth the tradeoff in disk space for 99.9% of users.

I’m not saying that stock OS X is super practical. Your CMV didn’t specify what you mean so I’ll keep giving you tips how to use the OS to make it practical and not confusing.
Yes you can, it just takes a bit of work. I don't use OSX anymore so it's probably different than it was before, but this guide looks about right. You don't need to know how to use terminal to make this work.
> You mean in a barely functional way! Slow as molasses and extremely unstable pre-alpha build that some third party did as a proof of concept. No cellular data! That's hilarious! I fail to see where this an official release.
'Course it's not an official release but it is there.
>Oh what do we have here! Some one did the same thing for iPhone 3G and ran IOS 5.1 on it. Something you claimed was not possible! What's more it works and is useable unlike the G1 running jelly bean! [link]
Gee I wonder. Maybe cause it's actually running 3.1.3 tweaked to look like iOS 5.
> I already have.
You haven't. How many phones have been stated will never get 4.1? Keyword "never".
They aren't using GeekTool for iTunes, it's Bowtie. You can get it in the App Store; it's free. The theme they are using is called Neon, I currently see it on page 8 of the theme browser in the Bowtie prefs.
As for the menubar, see if some of the info here helps.
if you get hold of a copy of lion, you should be able to install it without SL. The only requirement of snow leopard is that you need it to access the app store, to buy lion. apart from that, you can do a clean install.

Yes, but the application must support this feature. For example, Safari does not appear to support it, but TextEdit does. To select sections of non-contiguous text, hold down the Command key while click-dragging with the mouse.

As stated, Command+H will hide your current window... essentially sending it to the background. Option+Command+H will send everything but your active window to the background.
As for the focus following the mouse. I don't think there is anything available system-wide. At least nothing I've seen. If you happen to spend a lot of time in the Terminal, you can turn it on for that.
It looks like there is a folder with all the data.
Mac:
Users/yourname/library/applicationsupport/unity.Hinterland.The Long Dark/save00X
Screenshots of Mac here. Unfortunately I don't have access to a Windows computer ATM.
The user's Library folder (distinct from the shared Library) is a hidden file, see here or here if you don't know how to view it.
Windows Also hidden, but search "%appdata%" and from there it should the same as Mac (unity.Hinterland.The Long Dark/save00X)
Actually "backing up" the save consists of copying the files and storing them somewhere else, like on the desktop. Even if you don't intend to cheat death using backups, it's still a good idea in case files get corrupted (like OP's issue). If you have multiple saves, you'll need to figure out which number is which - most easily accomplished by comparing the timestamps.
First, use disk utility to repair your disk (just to make sure there isn't some file system error that is hanging things up).
If it still persists, try removing the printer from the Printers section of "System Preferences" and add it back.
If that doesn't work, there is probably a pref file that needs to be deleted. This article may help: [link]
Never heard of it?

Here's asus: "Since LCD panel is made up of millions of micro electronic pixels, if one pixel no longer functions normally, it will become a bright or dark dot. By ISO 13406-2 standards, ASUS conforms to the acceptance level between 3 to 5 defective bright/dark pixels. In order to deliver ultimate vision experience to ASUS customer, if your panel is less than or equal to the above number of dots, then, it is considered as an acceptable LCD monitor."
Apple doesn't have an official guideline, but there's a leaked one: [link]
Dell requires six or more dead pixels to cover it, according to their policy.
Samsung has a dead pixel policy, but they haven't stated any specific numbers.
Actually Blizzard updated the installers for Warcraft III and Diablo II so they work with the latest Mac OS. The only game that doesn't work when Rosetta support went away in Lion (10.7.0) is the original Starcraft. Both run great, although the lower resolution of Diablo II is definitely noticed.

Edit: Spelling.
Probably the game's not optimized to work on Mac or the graphics card on their system doesn't perform well enough. In A1398 the GPU uses shared memory, so probably there's a problem with allocation. Also it's an Intel GPU, which are crap for gaming.
Edit: According to this old article some specs may run poorly.

You could just make an invisible folder I have my stash three invisible folders deep I never worry when I let someone borrow my computer.
Fair enough.
Its only unique to Apple because they control both the software and the hardware. That makes it easy for them code the OS updates; per their own admission, they only have 13 devices that they have to account for when building the OS, so they are able to ensure that it runs on all 13 at launch. They also prevent carriers from requiring carrier specific OS changes due to their market dominance.
Google has a vastly different business model. They choose to offer Android as a base foundation upon which carriers and manufacturers can build their own specialized variants. It is that which has allowed for more innovative phone designs - things like pen support, fingerprint readers, dual cameras, etc all debuted on Android variants first - at the expense of platform unity. If you are concerned about always having an up to date OS a Google device (which is designed and built using the same methodology as the iPhone) will be your best bet.
Here's how dictation command works on OS X/iOS:
This is what you'd say:
> “Hey Homer [comma] [new line] What time do you want to see a movie [question mark] I think the [numeral 5] showing is the [all caps] best [period] [new line] Toodles [comma] Bart”
This is what it'll look like on your screen:
> Hey Homer, > What time do you want to see a movie? I think the 5 showing is the BEST. > Toodles, Bart
Thanks this is great. I also found you can have the signal strength placed in the title bar instead of the dots
-Now hold down the Power button until the “Slide to Power Off” message appears, then release the Power button and hold the Home button until Field Test quits -Tap the signal bars or signal numbers to switch between the two
What? You mean your attachments? No, it doesn't use iCloud if you're using Gmail. It uses Gmail's storage, just like all other Gmail apps. That said, if an attachment is bigger than the limit set by Gmail you have a few choices: send the attachment using Google Drive on the web, or use Mail Drop. If you use Mail Drop, that will use iCloud. Here's some instructions: [link]
USB 3.0 16GB Flash drive. Make yourself a bootable OS X installer that besides a clean install if you need it can be also be used as a diagnostic tool.
Yeah, isn't it pulling something like 11 watts at idle? Plus, I can drive two daisy-chained 1440p Thunderbolt Displays with no stutter.
Here's me :) I've made a few minor upgrades in the past couple of years.
Try this: [link] and see if you can save yourself 13 quid. Be really careful if you decide to go down the exfat route as if you don't properly eject your drive it can bugger up for you - I have loose USB ports on my mbp and I've knocked a wd passport drive I use before and had to leave it plugged in overnight to rebuild the FAT as inspect/repair in disk utility said I had fucked it.
You probably need to search for files that are large to see which ones on your system are making the current backup so large.
Here's a tutorial on how to search for files by size in OS X.
Guessing you had a large file that backup up a bit ago and now has been changed so it needs to be backed up again.
BTW: You have a Airport Time Capsule which is the official name. Helps to call things by their correct name when asking for help.
The nexus 7 has magnets in the back that are used to align it for wireless charging. Those magnets are sleeping your Mac screen.
Hi Jackie,
Someone else might be able to give a more simple answer. I'm mindful of the fact that you're really new to Macs, so I hope my suggestion of using the Terminal isn't too scary. I'll try my best to walk you through it.
I'll start with your second question: >how do I completely uninstall an app or completely delete a game?
The easiest option is to use an app like AppCleaner, which is free. It finds preference files and folders installed by an app, which are usually left behind when you delete the app.
In terms of the file save location, for Safari downloads you can set it in Preferences>General>"Save downloaded files to:".
To change where screenshots are saved to is a (tiny) bit more tricky. There are instructions here that should help. (You'll need to press return after entering each command.) To open Terminal, click the Spotlight magnifying glass in the top-right of your screen, and type "Terminal".
The part you need to change to choose the folder is the "~/Pictures" command. (~ means your home folder: if you open a Finder window, that's the folder with the icon of the house in the left sidebar, with your account name next to it.) So this command currently changes screenshots to be saved into your Pictures folder. You can change it to any folder name you'd like, for example "~/Documents/".
(N.B. Note the slash after the folder name.)
Do let me know if you need any more help or clarification.

DMA is not accessible until OSX is unlocked and logged in, so you cannot do a direct hardware attack that way.
There will be data that can be read, but you can easily ensure that the important stuff does not.
