Everything Apple (the Mac heads thread)

Can't stop thinking about that 30" screen. That was the stuff of dreams a few years ago, but now for 400 odd, it's almost feasible... Wonder if my 13" mbp will manage it though

So much more comfortable working off an external monitor than a laptop screen.

We had a freelancer who worked off a 13" Macbook Air, mad bastard, we're sat there getting tans from our 27" Cinema displays and he's hunched over this little silver Game & Watch, ffs

Plus CS is all kinds of fucked on retina so I need me some regular pixels and some screen real estate for indesign fun.

Anybody got anything Mac shaped going for relatively cheap at the moment? My 2007 mbp just killed its second graphics card and I'm not sure I can be bothered to try and revive it again.

chrisbmx's mac mini?

No one bought it within a week so I panic bought a new screen...

What does it mean when the mac hoots like a ship entering the port? Something like a fire alarm? Overheated?

Unknown error most of the times, dont worry just do a hard restart (hold power button for good 10+ seconds) and get an SSD soon ;)

Yeah, HDD didn't pass the SMART test

SDDs are soooo tiny (and my pockets shallow)

mate not-on-here has a 13" MBP(7,1) for sells, £650-700 I think. was a couple of weeks ago, shall ask if it's still around?

Think I'll probably go for a slightly cheaper mac mini off ebay for now, thanks though.

apple refurb also, always some nice minis on there.
£469 for a 2.5ghz i5 with 4gb ram.

Start researching mini DVI connectors...

When powering on? As in it sounds like the fan is going bat shit crazy?
Could try resetting the SMC...

Is there still any way to downgrad an iPhone 4 to iOS 6 ?

Would restoring do that?

Seems to have some answers... the first link even has a video: http://www.ibtimes.co.uk/articles/507817/20130921/ios7-gm-downgrade-ios6-iphone-ipad-ipodtouch5.htm

Thanks, but this is obsolete.

From all I've read, Apple blocks the downgrade since some days.
Upon restoring, iTunes checks with the update server, which does not accept the 'old' .ipsw-file (any more);
aborts with error "3194" - see also the comments of the youtube video.

Screw this!
Now I'm forced to use a laggy phone or what. This is fucking outrageous.

Isn't there a fix with the 4 something to do with uploading all messages to iCloud? Friend said he had to do the same with his iPhone 4 - it's fine now.

Sorry, I don't get what you're talking about like at all.

I can't remember exactly but iCloud backs up all your messages as they send - try turning that function off and it should speed the phone up.

I can get someone an edu discount mac if anyone needs, im not going to be using my 1 per school year this year for sure

what do you get off the screens?
