I have LION on the main computer now and all is well except for one very odd thing that really threw me. After installing LION, the Library folder that was always in the User's Home folder has moved out. It is now on the boot drive, the main hard drive, not in the Home folder. I am wondering if it has something to do with the way all my computers are set up. I often go into the Library folder, Application Support folder, etc., and now I have to look somewhere else. The Library folder used to be one of the default folders, like Music, Sites, Documents, Public, etc. Anyone else see this?

They released the first update to Final Cut X . Added a few features to makeup for all the ones they left out. However it still sounds like you have to jump through some hoops to transfer a project from FCP 7 to FCP X. Here's a link to a story. http://news.cnet.com/8301-27076_3-20108584-248/final-cut-pro-x-gets-first-big-update-and-a-free-trial/ Anyone downloaded the update and tested it yet?

Hello everyone, Many of us wanted use the large venue frequency coordination software, Intermodulation Analysis System, on our Macs (some of us resorting to VMWare to do so). And now we can! A recent update to the popular MacOS/Linux utilities, Wine and Wineskin, which are used to run windows programs, has enabled near full functionality of IAS on a Mac computer. I have posted a guide to install it at this link: http://newendian.com/index.php?title=IAS_for_Mac The only major thing that doesn't work (that I've found), is the intermod product graphs at the bottom of the screen. A proper license is of course required (some people may need to contact Professional Wi…

I just find this really funny --- Apple designs this amazing MacPro, new form factor (which people either love or hate whether they have had experience with it personally or not) and this company comes up with a way to rack mount it and add some expansion. Sonnet Announces Mac Pro 4U Rackmount Enclosure and Expansion Chassis Wednesday March 26, 2014 5:01 pm PDT by Jordan Golson Sonnet has announced a 4U rackmount enclosure and expansion chassis for the new Mac Pro, allowing users to horizontally mount their Mac Pro in a standard data center rack with PCIe expansion capabilities.

I just love cracking myself up. If you have a Siri-enabled iPhone, ask it "Who Let the Dogs Out?" Then sit back and laugh.

So iOS 7 rolled out last night, and I made the jump and decided to put it on my iPad 2. The installation process was painful: Apple's servers were so clogged, it took the better part of 90 minutes to get the update, then wait endlessly for the device to reboot. Once I re-entered all the password information, I pulled up the new iTunes and fired up iTunes Radio... and it sounded horrible. Hideous distortion, clipped, compressed, the works, just unlistenable by any mammals on earth. Resisting the desperate urge to panic, I did a quick Google search on "iTunes Radio Distortion," and sure enough, a few hundred other people had the same problem. The solution: reboot yet ag…

For anyone who has updated from an iPhone 4s to the 5s how much of an improvement are you experiencing with the newer phones battery times? Some real world tests I have read claim they are about the same while Apple claims an increase in battery life with the 5s.

CNET reports that Intel is preparing to launch its Light Peak high-speed computer connection standard as soon as early next year, paving the way for 10 Gbps connections.Light Peak is now on track to appear in products in the first half of 2011--and likely earlier in the year than later, according to an industry source familiar with the progress of the technology. Light Peak is significantly faster than even USB 3.0, carrying data at 10 gigabits per second in both directions simultaneously. Apple is expected to play a key role in the deployment of Light Peak, as the company was said to have played a key role in the development of the technology.. . .Apple is expected to…

Macintosh 128K (1984) As clunky and expensive as it was, the original Mac was the first mass-market personal computer to feature a graphical user interface (GUI) and mouse. Today, we expect any electronic device from TVs to ATMs to come with a graphical user interface. And thanks to the GUI, PCs, laptops, smartphones, and tablets were able to evolve into devices for the everyday consumer. The Mac was the one product that started it all.

After all the security issues that have been dancing around the news of late I started to look into software that manages passwords. There's just no real way for me to remember passwords that are truly secure and varied so I wanted to see what folks were using. I'd love to have an integration of the many computers, tablets and phones that we all use and to see if there's a fairly seamless yet secure piece of software out there. 1 Password looks good according to CNET but I thought I'd see if anyone here was using something that they liked. https://agilebits.com/onepassword/mac Thanks, Scott

Hello, does anyone using the Ipad for backing up daily files? I will be using an Ipad as remote for the sound devices 688 on a feature, and I am looking for a solution to use the ipad to make my own files back up (from CF or SD card to HDD), to avoid bringing along my laptop computer. I am new to Apple world and just got my IPad. So far I figured it is not possible but decided to post the question just in case ;-) Thanks Fred

It is well known now that the traditional method of scrolling in Lion will be REVERSED from the behavior we have all gotten accustomed to for probably the last 15 or 20 years of computer use. We can spend a lot of time debating the logic or philosophy behind the act of scrolling the contents of a window but it is clear that Apple has made a global decision that changes a lot of this thinking. from Macworld website: According to Apple, "When you scroll or swipe in Lion, content now moves in the same direction as your finger." In other words, drag two fingers downward on a MacBook's trackpad or Apple's Magic Trackpad — or spin your mouse's scroll wheel towards you…

Hi all, I have been trying to install Wave Agent on my Mac with the following results: This package is incompatible with this version of macOS. Has anyone encountered this, and is there a workaround or a newer version available somewhere? What comes up to install from Sound Devices seems to be dated 2014, which of course is long before the advent of Apple silicon chips. The reason I would like to have Wave agent working is to split poly files into their mono components for simpler uploading. Best regards, Jim Rillie Production Sound Mixer

Almost one entire year ago, there was a thread about "underage" Chinese factory workers making Apple products, and I was inspired to write some song parody lyrics to the tune of Tennessee Ernie Ford's classic labor song, "16 Tons". Mike Filosa, Crew Chamberlain, and Tom Taylor encouraged me to do something with it, and it took me an entire fucking year to produce the music video for what is now the song parody "16 Yuan". It's not about bashing Apple, it's about the conspicuous consumerism and colonialist attitudes that feed this side of that Chinese factory equation. Most of all it's a song parody, because I'm reasonably sure that's the most protected by law...lol. …

I've been on Verizon for years, so an iPhone wasn't an option till recently. Now that it is... the only holdup I have is navigation. Right now I have a DroidX, and the built-in google turn by turn nav is pretty great. I do a lot of jobs where I am in a new location every day. I can enter the job in iCal, or in Google calendar, and it will sync with my phone. When in my car I drop my phone in the car mount, click the entry in the calendar and the address is a link to launch google maps directions, with one more click and I am getting turn by turn navigation (spoken "turn right on Lincoln Drive in 300 yards"). I have not powered up my Garmin since I got my Droid X in Summer…

"A pair of former Apple Retail employees have filed a class action lawsuit against Apple for lost wages. The lawsuit stems from an Apple retail policy that requires employees have their personal bags and purses inspected by managers before leaving the store for breaks, lunches and at the end of a shift. The lawsuit alleges that employees are made to wait -- off the clock -- for as long as 5 to 15 minutes per shift while waiting for a manager to inspect their belongings for stolen property. The policy is in effect at all Apple Retail stores and could potentially affect thousands of employees going back more than 10 years." Rest of the story along with a copy of the c…
