Everything Apple (the Mac heads thread)

Thanks so much for early-adopting this predictably-buggy update so the rest of us can watch, eat popcorn, laugh and update in about six weeks.

Meanwhile, I wrote a hardware review.

It's working now...

Gah!
Upgraded to Yosemite yesterday. Safari acting very weird, especially with this site. Keeps telling me that Safari 8 is not supported by this website, and then letting me in perfectly when I restart the laptop.

Safari is a big pile of shit tho'... I use Chrome, also shit... Just not as shit...

You mean easily hackable, shit Safari? Chrome, Firefox or GTFO.... I don't even use safari on my phone.

It certainly has its flaws, but if you have a gmail account/android phone, it's handy.

Yeah, that's why I'm running it... Two eco-systems beating the crap out of each other...

What's even more fun is trying to get your Mac to talk to a Samsung Smart TV... Oh, the lozzles...

Stupid sexy tech wars...

I use Plex for that... or I did until I got bored of it and bought an Apple TV.

Ha! Plex...

Plex hasn't worked for me for about two months, fucking useless... Just as I had it running sweetly too... I have to use Samsung Link now, which is a load of shite... The only thing I use the Apple TV for is streaming the footie onto my TV, other than that it's of very little use as I can't link it to my non iTunes film library...

Yosemite all working swimmingly here with a Bootcamped MBP.

Photoshop still works, too.

@well_is_it just the person I wanted to hear that from actually... I believe we have the exact same requirements mac function wise...

iMac has shit the bed, turn it on and OS (mavericks) doesn't load, just a flashing file symbol with a '?'.

No Apple store will look at it around here, any recommendations for a repair shop in the darkest of South London?

Your HD has bombed or at the very least needs a clean install. Or you could be lucky and startup in safe mode and it'll all be sweet.

Do you have an external drive with a bootable system on it? Or a backup drive?

Don't think I have a back up, the iMac would periodically do a back up but I guess that's no good if the HD dies. I have an external hd but not with the important bits on, just photos and shit.

I'm not very good with computers so looking for trusted repair people. Ta

Projector FTW.

Anyone interested in my hackintosh? Basically a Mac Mini (or the Intel version) running OSX. After £100

Ohhhhhh any more specs please? I might be!

Why wasn't my new imac shipped with yosemite? It wasn't completely OTP you'd think they'd all get it done at once.

Stop moaning

I like how Yosemite looks like OS 9.

OS9 was magic, I didn't go to OSX for such a long time...

Retrogrouch.

Loved os9. I think that whole style was perfected in that os. Perfect balance between rich and out of the way

If you use "increase contrast" under accessability then it looks even more like it.

I resisted OS X for a good while too, I felt it looked too childish and cartoony with the overly rendered icons, ironic how people are saying 10.10 looks childish...

People hate change. Except fanboys maybe.
