Everything Apple (the Mac heads thread)

this is super tempting. you do graphics, yes? will it run CAD/3D ok? (no ridiculous 3D renders, just simple stuff)

Too rich for my blood, gonna see how my current set-up pans out...

Erm, I wouldn't know about 3D things I'm afraid... runs everything else fine, even games although it does get a wee bit warm... the SSD makes a huge difference, its faster than my quad i7 iMac at work...

if it's ok with games should be fine. I think.
any reason for you selling it other than lack of screen?
will it connect to old generic monitors ok, it doesn't have to be mac specific?

Erm, I have a VGA adaptor I think?
No other reason, I love it, and it was quite a chore and expense to get the extra bay/drive in, but I can't face a non apple monitor so if I'm going to pay 900 I might as well pay 1500 and get an iMac...
Great logic there.

ha! all the logic.
ok lemme think about it today, I'll get back to you.
and I feel like maybe you should have a "deciding to sell" cooling off period too, in case you reconsider. is it on OS10.8? I have avoided upgrading OS for so long... I dunno if my softwarez will work but it's probably a good way of catching up (I'm always like "not now! something might go wrong! no down time!")

I've got a VGA adapter I'm happy to throw at you if needs be. The mini's got an HDMI port in the back so with an HDMI>DVI cable you'll be sorted for modern monitors. I love mine, even though I never really got the use out of it that I should have and it's now been overtaken by my shinyshiny mbpr. They're tidy, unobtrusive, competent little machines.

cheers 6pt. I had one. I even endured a visit to the apple store to get it (rates as one of my worst retail experiences in recent memory) but now I just have the box. I have no idea where it is :/

this could be one big step into modernity for me :)

anyone got a 120gb ssd to sell ?

Ha, cool, yeah I need to asses my situ and money... off on holiday for a couple of weeks too so end of sept sale (if it goes).
On 10.8 and can supply a fair bit of software (cs6 etc).

Elementary question:

But If I have the same files on an alternate user will they take up double the space?

#playinginthesandpit

if they're in the user's home directories then yes as they'll be duplicates.

it's better to make a folder on the root of the hard drive and put the files in there so everyone can access them from their own accounts.

this is a little more complicated if you're talking about itunes librarys or whatever but i'm sure there's how-to's that cover doing it online.

Wow. On a saver bender at the mo, but ssd is planned for october

really tempted with a Samsung 840 Evo thing... I have the 830 already and notice a massive difference between games on the SSD and ones on the HD.

NOW I remember why the fuck I hate Apple. I have an iPhone. Need to put an mp3 on there. No access to iTunes here. Have VLC installed, but can't drag and drop a file.

WHY THE FUCK NOT ? What the fuck is the retarded reason that Apple will not allow drag and drop ? How the fuck do I get around this (without Jailbreaking as work will remotely disable the phone if I do that).

By downloading iTunes and dragging the files into it.

I think I'm gonna upgrade my MBP to SSD, prices have come down loads!

By downloading iTunes and dragging the files into it.

That's not really an answer. Why on gods earth do I need iTunes when every other phone OS on the planet supports standard drag and drop ?

^^Cold boot to desktop in 6 seconds on mine. No going back.

(runs off back to the Android thread)

I paid £20 for that iCloud music match bollocks. Amazingly useful. All my music available to download/stream on any apple device I have; a nice way of getting a lot more than 16gb of music out of my iPad and having new library additions appear instantly on whatever thing I'm currently using.

all I want to do is sync a mp3 from the c25k plan. It's not for $$$, it's not on iTunes store, and I don't / can't install iTunes where I am.

Fuck it, I guess I'll just stream the damn thing via the web. Seems retarded that I can do that perfectly fine WITHOUT iTunes, but I can't download + play it via Music ...
