[QUOTE=woolio1;43738695]iOS 7.0.4 crashes. A lot. That's about it.[/QUOTE] i can testify to this cause i got a new iphone 5s the other day and i get blue screen of death crashes constantly if i do anything other than texting or light browsing of the internet
[QUOTE=Dysentery;43762432]i can testify to this cause i got a new iphone 5s the other day and i get blue screen of death crashes constantly if i do anything other than texting or light browsing of the internet[/QUOTE] It's great to know that the instability isn't even consistent. My 5S is actually really stable, but then I hear other people like you that have really bad ones. It makes me worry that my iPad Mini is really just suffering from hardware issues, but my iPad 3 crashes in the same areas and my pre-replacement mini crashed too so I'm hoping it's software.
Did your iPads have the issues on iOS 6? If not, then just wait until 7.1 comes out, if the issues aren't fixed then, I'd imagine there could be a hardware problem
I've ordered my first OS X laptop!

(also, it says 128GB HDD but I strongly doubt that a hard disk will fit in that thing, is it an SSD or integrated flash chip?)

[QUOTE=Dysentery;43768708]yeah i'm gonna get my phone replaced and hopefully i get luckier and don't have to deal with these crashes since they seem hit-or-miss according to everyone[/QUOTE] I'm just going to wait until 7.1 and if it still crashes I'll take it to the Apple store.
[url=http://www.macrumors.com/2014/02/05/steve-jobs-os-x-vaio/]Steve Jobs considered OSX-compatible Sony VAIO laptops[/url] Shame things went the way they did.
I've been thinking of getting one of those Black MacBooks recently, how does the GMA 950 do some more low profile games? Minecraft, Civ, the sims 2/3 (either one is fine, plan on keeping snow leopard on it so rosetta)? It's just going to be a laptop I can run OS X on at school, and when I get a new desk I want to get an mStand and boot in to windows, and have a secondary windows computer, for a MC server for when friends want to play and dump like that. I was also thinking of doing some light FCP 7 stuff on there.

Just grab the VAIO copies in 2005, load 'em on Macs with intel processors. It'd probably be a way different Mac line if that would've been done, just think.

[QUOTE=Warship;43797100]Those C2D macbooks were pretty hot, I don't think you'll do any Minecrafting or videoediting without being able to cook eggs on it.[/QUOTE] I should probably invest in a stand made out of nonconductive material then!
Regardless of heat, the GMA950 is shitty enough that Minecraft and The Sims 2 probably won't run well, and The Sims 3 likely won't run at all.

Is there no way to refresh an open folder in finder? I had a network drive open and I needed to refresh but there's no option to do so, so I had to go back and wait for it to reconnect before I could get an up-to-date version of the folder I was in.
Honestly, if you want a black Macbook these days, Colorware's about your only option. That's not to say they don't do a good job. They're actually pretty fantastic. But they're the only ones that do that sort of thing.

iOS 7 is so shit, it even deletes my Music with no reason. Looking for alternative music players right now.

[QUOTE='[EG] Pepper;43860164']Update itunes.[/QUOTE] I just restarted the phone and it worked.
How would I go about installing boot camp on a mac that doesn't have an optical drive?
usb
Or a USB optical drive.
I wish apple and wacom would make some sort of collaboration making the iPad a viable tool for digital drawing
Does anyone else have trouble with their SD Card reader mounting on the MBP?
I have problems with SD card mounting on any computer
[QUOTE=deano270;43881762]Does anyone else have trouble with their SD Card reader mounting on the MBP?[/QUOTE] it only mounts if i plug it in while i'm logged on, not if the lid is shut or anything
[QUOTE=deano270;43881762]Does anyone else have trouble with their SD Card reader mounting on the MBP?[/QUOTE] It's almost impossible to get to work on two of my friends' Macbooks, but maybe there's just dust in the port.
[QUOTE=.Lain;43884165]it only mounts if i plug it in while i'm logged on, not if the lid is shut or anything[/QUOTE] Same shit, also with USB HDDs. I haven't ever had any other problems otherwise.
