Everything Apple (the Mac heads thread)

nah - roboto sold his mint one for £150: https://www.lfgss.com/thread116702.html

Yep, I probably undervalued it, but if I wanted full value for it then I'd probably ebay it.

he lives in stoke newington; must be dodgy

Dalston.

Get nexus 5, great phone ;)

iPhone 5S is much better IMO. A big improvement on the old 4S I had.

Too late - you have now fucked the market value. Your sale is the new point of reference ;-)

I want to create a bootable clone of my mac on an external HDD.
can I just copy the Mackintosh HD to the external disc, or do i need an fancy program?

Am I being thick, can I organise by file type on mac like you can on pc?

Right! got an external blu-ray writer for the purpose of watching films and the like, got any software recommendation as the Apple DVD player doesn't support blu-ray movies?

Sort by Kind?

VLC? Seems to support everything else?

good shot, haven't thought of that, will give it a whir.

Doesn't seemed to work, will dig in a bit more.

Bollox. ImN the middle of a big job and the mac won't start up. I've done the recommendations off that there web. I'm getting a

Disk0s2: I/O error

Don't suppose anyone in southwest London has a Mac OS disk I can grab to do a start up from disk and run disk utilities (I was running 10.6 something)

Ta

I have 10.8 on a key, but I'm in Hackney. Have a shoot in Killburn tomorrow at 11 if that's any help?

does anyone know if i install an ssd, and dont want to copy across my old drive

do i need a usb key to install from, or is there some sort of recovery system to download the OS (i know ive done this before but i dont know if the recovery system is on a partition or wired into the laptop)

You could get a OSX from a torrent and boot it off a usb if you have lost the CD's

will do that then, cheers

Cheers Ben. Unfortunately it seems from doing a search on that error message that my hard drive is fubared.

I'm in a bit of shit as my last back up was about 2 months ago (I know...). If someone on here can rescue my hard drive data there would be serious beer money in it for them

So I installed a new HD and battery in my Macbook Pro yesterday - all went fine and restored from the Super Duper bootable backup etc etc....

However, the battery just ran down and instead of going into low power sleep mode, it just went 'click' and went dead. Working again now that I've got the power plugged in but don't really want that happening every time the battery gets low. Suggestions?

Maverick doesn't work with CS5.5...

Boo...

That's pants. PS CS6 is barely useable on my year old iMac, so i've gone back to cs5.5. Was hoping for mavericks at work but guess not then

is Mavericks any good?

^^ Are you sure? I'm runnng CS5 on Mavericks I think... maybe 5.5?
Mavericks is the same as the others, no real difference.
kboy, wtf have you done to a year old iMac to make it run so poorly? Ran onyx/disc utility at all?

FALSE ALARM!!!
