Everything Apple (the Mac heads thread)

Don't run beta next time?

Put the release version on.....

Would anyone happen to know what the Apple store would charge me to fix my power button?

I Use Silverlight a lot for streaming Footie, (BT and Sky sports), it eats up CPU though, fans kick up CPU temp gets around 80º

Any one know a way to stop this?

Don't use silverlight. It somehow manages to be even worse than flash.

Put the release version on.....

I was trying to do this but it wouldn't let me and a message popped up when I synced to my computer saying I needed to turn find my phone off in order to update.

I did a hard reset while it was connected and that worked fine, releaved!

Can't really, their players both use silverlight. : /

Microsoft just seem to make products because they think they should, but never actually put the work in to make them usable. Then just use their clout to get a decent market share

Seen how Skype has gone from barely ok to actually broken? That's all since MS bought it. Nice work there.

Crucial the best choice for more memory?

always worked for me

This.

Routing all traffic via the NSA has certainly increased latency

Jim Richardson on the iPhone 5s camera

With intense use (I’ve made about 4,000 pictures in the last four days) I’ve discovered that the iPhone 5S is a very capable camera. The color and exposures are amazingly good, the HDR exposure feature does a stunningly good job in touch situations, the panorama feature is nothing short of amazing—seeing a panorama sweeping across the screen in real time is just intoxicating. Best of all it shoots square pictures natively, a real plus for me since I wanted to shoot for Instagram posting.

Once I figured out what the camera could do well I began to forget all the things it couldn’t do at all.

*Dude, what the fuck?
What is this shit?

Can somebody explain to me what's so great about instagram all of a sudden?

It's good for sharing, if you're in to that kind of thing

Oh, thanks. Didn't realise that.

Also for the record anyone with ios 7 can shoot squares.

Weird MacBook Air issue here and wondered if any of you uber-geekoids could help. My speakers are working perfectly, so for example I have just listened to and watched a TED video.

However, if I go on Youtube or try and video hosted on Youtube I can't hear a damn thing. What's that all about then?!

Which browser? Chrome was doing this to me for ages, stopped now tho'...

Quit and restart your browser and see if that works...

I assume you've checked that you're not auto muting Youtube videos in the player itself? (bottom left, above the play button)...

Are you using Chrome? You might have conflicting flash plugins which are causing issues...

Type "chrome://plugins" into your browser bar, click 'details' on the top right of the page and find the adobe flash player section (usually first). If you have two files; try disabling the one with the file path in the Chrome app.

Finally, if none of that works, try deleting the following folder: ~/Library/Preferences/Macromedia folder

Cheers, found 'Cinch' in the store as well which is good apparently. Fiver though

Everyone is switching over to HTML5 and no longer using crappy resource hungry flash. So your problem sounds Flash related.

Uninstall flash player then reinstall. make sure you dump the pref files as well in your ~/Library/Preferences/Macromedia
