Everything Apple (the Mac heads thread)

i have a stupid question. i have done the icloud thing. all of my songs are now available in the cloud (took days to upload btw). so can i go ahead and clear my hard drive? I'M SCARED!

I'm typing this on an iPad... Really like it... Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!!!!!

I don't (and never will) have an iphone so I'm new to all this shit...

Like it... I think...

Nope! I believe it syncs with what you have on your hard drive... take it off your hard drive and it removes it from the cloud! It's in the cloud so you can access essentially whats on your hard drive on other computers and iOS devices...

Best monitor on the market (if you care about colour)

I would agree with that. I have been lusting after one myself. Don't they do a 30" version which would have to trump the 27 as the best monitor in the world?

Yeah, but I was offering the best at the size he was going for.

Seriously though, the few people that have seen mine have lusted after it (the monitor).

Sooooo much money tho', in an ideal world I'd get a 30" NEC or Enzo...

Unfortunately bank account says no...

Your business doesn't care enough about you to get you good equipment? Your boss doesn't either?

Quit, get a better boss.

I am the boss... And a cheap bastard to boot...

Oh you retired?

You might have some mileage with Synergy.

What's your beef Tree Trunks?

Would you like to teabag Bill Gates?

So. 10.5.8 up to 10.6 .1 Do I really have to do a clean install and rebuild my unit from sctatch JUST to up grade my bloody flash player and phone utility?

If you mean you want to run your system on the imac and have access to the files on your laptop, just boot the laptop in target disk mode and connect to the imac via thunderbolt.

If you mean using the imac as an external display for the OS on the laptop, use target display mode on the imac.

If you want both systems running at the same time, you might (as mr_tom suggested) want to use synergy, using the LAN/airdrop/ to move files around.

In an ideal world I'd get 2x 30" NECs

And I think you meant Eizo not Enzo.

That's what I meant, just a brain fart...
