I'm planning on dual-booting for gamez using Bootcamp. Anyone have an idea roughly how long it'll take to create/resize the partitions of 1TB drive?

Registered 6 years agoOur new Macbook Pro has keyboard marks on the screen.
We bought a new Macbook Pro, one with a normal screen. There'are two problems with the screen. The first is that, when you shut it, it somehow picks up the silhouette of the keyboard. Is this normal?
The second - and this is worse - is that, like the keyboard 'image', there's this weird grid that's about 3/4 of the size of the screen on the top right and also on the top left.
Each square is about 1/2 a cm. It's not running vertically but at an angle; almost like a tea towel has been left on there. We've tried rubbing it with a screen cleaner and microfibre cloth. It's starting to fade a bit, but it's quite noticeable in reflect light.
What's going on? This thing cost almost £2,000. Does it need taking to Apple?www.hatchetjob.com - more than games. "Seemingly trivial, surprisingly deep"

Registered 6 years agoOther people have had the problem; it's manufacturing issue.
I found a post buy a guy who had the same thing and cleaned the screen with an alcohol wipe. That sorted it. He cleaned the screen at an Apple store after speaking to a 'genius'.
We sorted it with a a specs lens cleaning wipe, one that was sealed in its own little packet. We couldn't get it to go away with a microfibre cloth and squirty lens-cleaning solution.www.hatchetjob.com - more than games. "Seemingly trivial, surprisingly deep"

Registered 11 years agoCommon sense is the best one. Don't open stupid attachments, don't run silly apps, don't use an insecure browser like safari, that sort of thing. Don't trust apple to give a shit about security, they've known for years how easy to hack OSX is and holds the record for the fastest to hack OS for 7 consecutive years.

I'm more worried about getting infected from friends USB drives to be honest. One of the few viruses I've ever had on my windows machine was from a mac using friend. God know how many other people he'd infected.For the emperor!

Registered 11 years agoThere's Panda, Sophos and Avast, but I wouldn't touch the latter considering how useless it is on PCs.

Registered 10 years agoHey all, does anyone know of a way to record non-iPlayer streaming videos off of the BBC website (such as this) on the Mac?
I tried Jaksta trial but it only captures first half (and that isnt the stated restriction of the demo?!) -

Registered 11 years agoYou used to be able to open the Activity window in Safari, find the file which is usually the largest in the list and then save it from there.
Haven't tried this in a while though so I have no idea if the functionality is still there in Safari 6. -
In safari you can either use the page resources viewer under the developer menu or clicktoflash

Thanks HH and Crispy, but I've not had any luck with the Page Resources Viewer (replacement for Activity monitor in latest Safari) it no longer seams to leave a file and even though the BBC supports HTML5 video on iOS ClicktoFlash doesnt seem to work for me (dont get any options just the place holder) -

Registered 6 years agoIf you don't need the sound, you could use QuickTime's built in screen recording function.
If you need the audio and have external speakers, you can run a male/male headphone lead from them (assuming they have a headphones socket) to the line in on the mac.

Fuck that, just use soundflower and record the audio with quicktime.

Registered 7 years agoMy iMac is reporting non-reoverable errors on the main drive. I want to format that drive and reinstall Mountain Lion.
The machine has two user accounts and I want to make sure that I can recover the photos and music for each to the fresh install (all other documents are dropbox'd, so no need to worry about them).
What's the easiest route to do this? Am I going to have to back everything g up to an external drive first? Any gotchas I should be aware of? I'm thinking about the iTunes files specifically, having been bitten by Apple's "This machine is not authorised to play these files" bollocks in the past.
Any help appreciated. -

Registered 7 years agoYour drive is dead, you need to get it replaced. Everything you do to it will make it worse, so you need to backup immediately either using time machine or something like CCC.---------------------------------------------------------

@nickthegun
Piss it.
It's a 1tb drive so I'll need to buy a new external (to back it up) and a new internal (to replace the fucked one).
Any recommendations for either? And is the internal drive simple to fit? It's a 2.4gHz c2d.
Ta fella. -
