Everything Apple (the Mac heads thread)

topping out at 8 :)

also, want the retina mini but had my mini less than a year and seems a bit quick to swap it :(

ooh, installing Mavericks now. If I don't come back it's because I've made a mistake (and tomorrow's day of work is a write-off)

OS X Mavericks my butt. Needless to say it'll fuck up everything, so why upgrade? Oh well, better follow suit...

yeah but, you can reply to imessages without opening messages

I don't know enough people with iPhones to get much by way of iMessages :( also, 34 minute install?! There goes my evening slacking plans.

Mavericks downloaded stupidly quick for me....#csb

Installed! Guess they suffer from windows file transfer countdown syndrome. Jolly good.

the 3d maps are fuuunnnnnn

God dam you mechanical hard drive, install faster

Everyone I text is on iMessage now minus one of my housemates it's great, I don't even need to get my phone out

mac mini is taking its sweet time.
the selected file highlight in finder now has curved edges. I hate it. Searching by file 'colour' is nice, as is tags. Tabbed finder is a bit meh. Back working so not played with anything else.

My MBA is chugging along fairly slowly.

the "apps using significant energy" dropdown on the battery icon is nice.

i cant see anything different.

did it work?

New retina pro with iris is amazing. And for the price.

Price are not bad on the new macbooks shame they absolutely screw ya when you add ram and what not at the checkout... Brutal

Still thinking about a MBA, but at the same time not sure if just for studying whether a Chromebook will cut the mustard.

13inch rMBP, seriously, PCIe based flash and Intel Iris... so fast for such a small machine.

Well this is going well, anyone know how to hard-reset a MBA?

Price are not bad on the new macbooks shame they absolutely screw ya when you add ram and what not at the checkout... Brutal

Just compared prices with crucial* and £80 for 8gb of ram isn't that bad, it's £60 at crucial. Or £160 for 16, compared to £120. It's the least difference in prices I've ever seen, Apple used to double the prices at least.

*checked prices for my mbp 13 from 2012, so might not be that accurate?

crap. my aged 2007 MBP has died. powers on, black screen. was making lots of noise, but working, switched it off. now, nada.

Mavericks completely fucked my Mac Mini yesterday...

Started up the install and it ran for about 3 mins before coming up with an error saying my disk was damaged and couldn't be repaired. Tried to restart in safe mode and the bar got about half way before the machine powered off.

Then I tried to restart into my recovery partition to get to disk utility. That told me that it couldn't repair the disk and that I should just reformat and move on!! I left it imaging the HDD onto an external disk over night and that wouldn't mount this morning.

I decided to take the plunge and format the main disk and do the install in the hope that I could get the image to mount when I had an OS.

Finally it installed and the disk looks like it mounts but I now have no apps / files etc and have to transfer everything over.

Pain. In. The. Ass.

That sounds like hell... glad I didnt update mine last night... was so close to....

Yup.... whatever you do; make sure you have a TM backup of your main drive.

I had two problem-free upgrades, just to balance things out.
