Apple treated me right, tho I ordered the wrong replacement memory, so now I have to wait.

An old interview I can across on longform.org this morning where Jobs sounds very different. Thought some of you might enjoy too.

just get a 27" i7 iMac.

Mine came last night. Planning on migrating everything over this afternoon then repacking for transit down South next week. May run a few benchmarks just for fun!

Nice, Stretch!

Oh yes it does! It changes everything [again]. Did he use the words "magical" or "revolutionary"?

Sweet. That thing must smoke. Maybe you can post a few more times a day again with its increased speed.

After migrating all my data over, now it won't boot! Faaaaaaaaaaark. Beginning troubleshooting process. If it's anything more than a disk issue, it'll have to go back for refund as the movers come Monday and it's a little big to fit in hand luggage!

[agile_one]

Bummer, Stretch. How did you "migrate"your data? Time Machine via Migration Assistant? I've had good luck with that in past.

Sorry to hear ... just what you (don't) need at final weekend before an intercontinental move.

[Hopstretch]

Yeah, I used Migration Assistant and it went fine. New Mac was working fine. When I restarted, though, it was White Screen Of Death.

So far, managed to boot from install DVD and repair the startup volume -- but that didn't fix the issue. Now running the hardware test. Last resort will be a full reformat and restore from Time Machine, assuming it can see the external drive.

[shellylh]

Major major bummer Stretch!

[Hopstretch]

Good news is it doesn't seem to be a hardware issue. Doing a clean install and if it boots OK after that then I'll sink the nine hours required into a full restore. Pray for mojo!

[grawk]

do a system migration from the backup rather than a restore

[Hopstretch]

Won't boot from a clean install. I think that's game over.

[Voltron]

FFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Total Apple Rape at the last second. So so sorry.

[Knuckledragger]

That blows, Stretch. Probably better that it happened now than after the move, I suppose.

[Hopstretch]

It's not over until the fat naked lady sings no longer displays her boobs as my wallpaper.

[aardvark baguette]

lots of apple issues on hc lately

[Hopstretch]

This is a weird one. The bugger booted perfectly out of the box and seems physically perfect (awesome display, no yellow tint, no dead pixels, diagnostics OK), but something clearly went awry in the migration process. I nuked the HD from orbit a second time, booted from the install DVD, repaired the startup disk and was finally able to get up and running. Now migrating again from a separate backup volume. Fingers crossed!

BTW, this is my 4th iMac and first ever issue with going from one to another.

[The Monkey]

'Stretch, make them replace the fucker.

[aardvark baguette]

If I ever get another, the only migration will be moving over music ripping stuff; XLD / MAX, maybe VLC. Or I can just download it.

Do you have your itunes music on the OS drive? Or external?

[Hopstretch]

Fuck this shit.

[boomana]

[Hopstretch]

VICTORY IS MINE!

[shellylh]

Congrat! I like how you need two monitors to read head-case.

[Hopstretch]

Corrupt login items. Fffffuuuu.

[Voltron]

NM.
