Dusty Chalk Posted April 3, 2015 Report Share Posted April 3, 2015 Yeah, but I don't, and I'm pretty sure they've done the same thing to me. (I get weird network problems on several of my machines, and the symptoms sound familiar.) Heck, I don't even have a bit-torrent client. They few times I've used it, I've immediately uninstalled it afterwards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crappyjones123 Posted April 3, 2015 Report Share Posted April 3, 2015 (edited) Still making incorrect assumptions, Dan. Even though I was no where close to the old 250gb limit (used up 132gb in the last 30 days), constantly streaming lectures which aren't even in HD seemed to set them off. I don't see any other reason as the hackintosh sees no torrent data. None of the other computers do either since there isn't any. Wish I had time to watch stuff that would need to be torrented =/ The seedbox was an unnecessary expense and was gotten rid of a long time ago.

HeadphoneAddict Posted April 3, 2015 Report Share Posted April 3, 2015 My son's 2012 15" Retina Macbook Pro developed the GPU Panic issue and is being totally refurbished by Apple under the 3 yr Apple Care warranty, but they would have fixed the GPU issue with just a new logic board even wthout the extended warranty. I didn't know the issue affected our rMBP until after I'd backed it up two 2 disks and restored OS X six times over a 24 hour period, and it kept crashing. A light bulb went off that said "hardware" and I made a genius appointment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luvdunhill Posted May 11, 2015 Report Share Posted May 11, 2015 What do people think of Photos? I am crossing my fingers that the thing converts, been a multi hour process so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blessingx Posted May 11, 2015 Report Share Posted May 11, 2015 I'm a fan, but never used iPhoto much. You do kinda have to surrender control to its organization, especially as photo edits are syndicated across devices. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luvdunhill Posted May 11, 2015 Report Share Posted May 11, 2015 I used to have a method to auto import from a folder housed within the iPhoto app image. This doesn't work with Photos. Any recommendation on a workflow? I am wirelessly uploading photos from my camera and would like Photos to pick them up and process them.

shellylh Posted May 25, 2015 Report Share Posted May 25, 2015 This is why I am leery of a Time Warner/Comcast merger: I use a lot of data, and Time Warner doesn't give a shit. http://www.nytimes.com/2015/05/26/business/dealbook/charter-time-warner-cable-deal.html?_r=0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TMoney Posted June 8, 2015 Report Share Posted June 8, 2015 Should be an interesting WWDC this morning. I'll have it streaming to my phone. I'm worried that any Apple streaming music service will be dead on arrival. I have no idea what advantages they could really have over their competitors other than competing on price. Also, I can't really say that there is a big customer base interested in streaming music whose needs aren't being met. I'll be interested to see what Tim Cook and co. have to say.

Voltron Posted June 12, 2015 Report Share Posted June 12, 2015 I finally got tired of all the upgrade to Yosemite messages and stupidly upgraded my Macbook Air the other day. The battery life is now ridiculous after having been great for years. I unplugged this morning and it went from 99% to 18% in an hour. I am sure there is information out there on why this is so fucked up, but do you guys know how to turn shit off or change settings so that I can use my laptop as it is intended to be used?

crappyjones123 Posted June 12, 2015 Report Share Posted June 12, 2015 (edited) How old is your air, Al? I don't get anywhere near the 9 hours but I get about 3 - 3.5 hours on a full charge. Mine is 2 generations old. Edited June 12, 2015 by crappyjones123 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Voltron Posted June 12, 2015 Report Share Posted June 12, 2015 Mid-2011 model according to "about this mac." I would say I got much more than 3.5 hours in the past but I just didn't have to think about it much. I posted what happened this morning and the other night watching hockey I had the computer open and sitting there and the next time I looked it was drained and shut down.

blessingx Posted June 12, 2015 Report Share Posted June 12, 2015 When Yosemite was released there were many reports of third-party "non-Yosemite optimized" apps killing battery. Any older apps you were running during the drain? Anything unusual showing under CPU usage? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Voltron Posted June 12, 2015 Report Share Posted June 12, 2015 Not much was running and the only non-Apple App was Chrome. How do I check CPU usage? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grawk Posted June 12, 2015 Report Share Posted June 12, 2015 Chrome is to blame Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blessingx Posted June 12, 2015 Report Share Posted June 12, 2015 (edited) Try Activity Monitor Al. It could be Chrome and its shitty (possibly multiple) Flash/Shockwave plugins. Edited June 12, 2015 by blessingx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
