Makes me wonder why some people are trying to do everything they can to fix a bug on an unfinished OS...

never said I'm doing everything i can

i was just asking if anyone else has encountered a similar problem

and if they knew a fix

if not its not a big deal

i just prefer listening to music on external speakers/headphones

and my ipod doesn't power my DJ headphones very well

WTF is /.MobileBackups?!

Using a lot of Storage!

It's present in SL aswell. It saves every single Backup you have ever done to your iPhone/iPod/iPad. I delete older ones regulary. Can be done safely, if you know what you're doing. ;)

Whoops, mixed things up with /MobileSync/Backups. Sorry!

Yeah I was gunna say! This is new, and it's got files from my desktop in in. Maybe a TimeMachine buffer? So that TimeMachine can continue to run without the extHD plugged in then transfer all the data when it's connected?

very hard to go back :D

Yup, but I had to. Most of the applications I use aren't working properly. :(

I found a new feature btw: If you press and hold a key on your keyboard, let's say the "E", it will give all additional letter options as well similar to iOS and Android.

If I recall correctly, Snow Leopard had new builds every two weeks. This build came on February 24, so we might possibly be getting a new build some time next week.

Those available through Software Update?

I recall updating my Snow Leopard preview... twice during the summer, or thrice, are you sure it wasn?t every month or so? I really can?t remember all that well.

I'm sure it was Snow Leopard, although it's possible some of the earliest builds weren't sent through Software Update.

Lion will almost assuredly use the App Store, though. There will probably be a way to get a new redemption code and download the new build. Although Software Update has the advantage of downloading everything and rebooting, I think sending builds though App Store is more or less going to be the same, since it will download the installer, that runs and then you reboot.

I am however finding it slightly annoying that I cannot find the defaults to write to "flip" the two finger scrolling in my older MBP 2007 which I'm using as a test bed for Lion - oh well, gotta dig deeper.

Apparently the "newer" Touchpad module only works in newer MBPs.

Why go through all the trouble? Software Update makes much more sense and is easier on the servers.

It makes more sense, but I just think Apple will continue to use the App Store, so they can continue to tie a redemption code to your ADC account.

IMHO, as I said previously, they should kill Software Update and deliver all updates for free with no account needed through the Mac App Store.

One single and simple way to update OS X.

It?s really breaking my nuts that we have to create an account with a real credit card number just to buy free stuff.

If they put the new builds on the Mac App Store, I say it?s a good sign of the eminent death of Software update, because this is the way they will beta-test this new functionality. If they push them through Software Update, it?s not true that they will make updates available through the App Store at the last minute without testing anything (user satisfaction at least).

It's only available from the app store, you have to get your redemption code from the developer site

No I'm talking about free apps. He's complaining that he needs to provide credit card details to get free apps from the Store, when he could download them from the developer's website (like we did for all those years before the App Store) for free without handing over any details.

    • Classic Outlook vs New Outlook — Which one do you prefer and why?

      By cooky560 · Posted

      Classic outlook, not only does it have a much fuller feature set, it doesn't include Microsoft attempting to sync my emails from my servers to theirs. If classic outlook is ever removed from office, and the version I paid for in 2021 stops working for some reason, I'll use Thunderbird.

      Kdenlive 26.04.2 by Razvan Serea Kdenlive is an acronym for KDE Non-Linear Video Editor. It works on GNU/Linux, Windows and BSD. Through the MLT framework, Kdenlive integrates many plugin effects for video and sound processing or creation. Furthermore Kdenlive brings a powerful titling tool, a DVD authoring (menus) solution, and can then be used as a complete studio for video creation. Kdenlive supports all of the formats supported by FFmpeg or libav (such as QuickTime, AVI, WMV, MPEG, and Flash Video, among others), and also supports 4:3 and 16:9 aspect ratios for both PAL, NTSC and various HD standards, including HDV and AVCHD. Video can also be exported to DV devices, or written to a DVD with chapters and a simple menu. Video editing features: Multi-track editing with a timeline and supports an unlimited number of video and audio tracks. A built-in title editor and tools to create, move, crop and delete video clips, audio clips, text clips and image clips. Ability to add custom effects and transitions.

Visual effects include options for masking, blue-screen, distortions, rotations, colour tools, blurring, obscuring and others. Configurable keyboard shortcuts and interface layouts. Rendering is done using a separate non-blocking process so it can be stopped, paused and restarted. Kdenlive also provides a script called the Kdenlive Builder Wizard (KBW) that compiles the latest developer version of the software and its main dependencies from source, to allow users to try to test new features and report problems on the bug tracker. Project files are stored in XML format. An archiving feature allows exporting a project among all assets into a single folder or compressed archive. Built-in audio mixer Kdenlive 26.04.2 changelog: Remove not needed actions from render info, fix rough size calculation for rendering.

    • Here's how to watch the Xbox Games Showcase today and what to expect

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Here's how to watch the Xbox Games Showcase today and what to expect by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe The June games showcase week has been a packed one, with everything from major presentations like Sony and Summer Game Fest to indie-focused reveals coming in almost every day. Now, it's almost time for another big one, with Microsoft bringing its Xbox Games Showcase back later today. This is a double feature too, with a Gears of War E-Day deep dive also being attached to it. For anyone wanting to tune in online, the 2026 Xbox Games Showcase is kicking off at 10 AM PT | 1 PM ET | 6 PM BST | 7 PM CEST later today, June 7. The event will be available to watch on the official Xbox YouTube (4K 60FPS), Twitch, Facebook, Steam, Amazon Live, and other portals. Separate livestreams for American Sign Language and Audio Description will also be available. "This year marks 25 years of XBOX, and this Showcase is poised to be a true celebration, offering world premieres, new gameplay, fresh updates, and more for a swathe of projects we cannot wait to share," said Microsoft about this presentation. With a new CEO behind it that is pulling off some interesting moves, Xbox may have some surprises to reveal today. New looks at first-party games like Halo Campaign Evolved from Halo studios, Fable from Playground Games, InXile Entertainment's Clockwork Revolution, Mojang's Minecraft Dungeons II, and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4 from Infinity Ward are to be expected here. We may finally get to see the new Blade from Arcane Studios in action and a new Persona game from Atlus at the showcase too. Surprise announcements may also arrive from other Microsoft-owned studios like Bethesda, MachineGames, Ninja Theory, Obsidian, Rare, World's Edge, or Blizzard. Considering how every new release nowadays is staying away from November and December to avoid Grand Theft Auto VI's release, any launch dates Microsoft announces will probably skip those months as well. Once the Xbox Games Showcase ends, Microsoft will immediately kick off the Gears of War: E-Day Direct. This deep dive into the upcoming prequel from The Coalition should attach gameplay footage and perhaps a release window to the highly anticipated project.

    • 007 First Light review: Satisfying spy adventure that James Bond needed

      By Nick H. · Posted

      So after some fiddling I was able to get it to run at a pretty stable 30FPS. I'm slightly surprised about how much fiddling I had to do to get there though given what I thought was reasonable hardware: Processors: 16 × AMD Ryzen 7 7840HS w/ Radeon 780M Graphics Memory: 16 GiB of RAM Graphics Processor 1: AMD Radeon 780M Graphics Graphics Processor 2: AMD Radeon RX 7700S I think I could do it better if I use Linux rather than Windows, Windows RAM usage is stupid without stripping the system down. But once I got it working in a reasonable state, it was so awesome! I felt like a new Bond! If anyone has any advice to get things going a bit smoother FPS-wise, I'd appreciate it.
