[QUOTE=Kaabii;41472680]If you use Quartz Debug and check framerates it's usually around 55-60 so I think you're overstating how much it "lags". The biggest issues are very intensive webpages like Facebook, and even then they keep at about 47fps with the newest versions of webkit. Seeing that improvement with web framerates, I would assume it would increase in Mavericks, but it wont necessarily keep at 60fps all the time.[/QUOTE]

I know i'm extremely picky about that, but seeing how a refurbished one will cost me ~2000€ it hurts to see its struggling with simple ui stuff
I did those very same things on one at an Apple store like a month ago and it wasn't as bad as that video, and I was on the weaker 13" model since I don't intend to shell out for the 15". You're not being picky for disliking stutters or sluggishness, but the fact is that with the most current software it keeps at a framerate higher than that video demonstrates. The guy didn't even have Quartz Debug or another framerate tool up, and he tossed it on Youtube which doesn't help analyzing where issues occur and how bad they are.
Hm... I'll test tomorrow in another store, maybe it was somehow a bad model...
It's because there's a million apps open all using resources. I think App Nap in mavericks will fix this.

This is very true... OS X currently has no app culling program, so those test machines will get bogged down really quickly.
Under normal use, such problems rarely crop up.

app culling in what way? like task manager?
[QUOTE=codenamecueball;41474782]app culling in what way? like task manager?[/QUOTE]
Automatic nullification of background processes, if I'm interpreting it correctly.
I should give Mavericks a shot, I just have a feeling that all my shit would break. (In terms of programs, at least)
Does anyone know of a way to get a video and convert it to a screensaver?

So if I just restart the machine it should run smooth?

If you close all the extra shit and wait a few seconds it will run smooth

I see the X and am worried it will be like FCPX.
pro tools man
I still use Final Cut Pro 7. To be fair, FCPX has a lot of the features back, but it's fucking stupid of Apple to re-trickle features out that they already were trickling out in the past few years over updates. Also it lags like fuck on my computer because I only have 4 gigs of RAM, and FC7 doesn't. I'm thinking of making the jump to 8 or 12 soon.
This thread is dead has fuck holy shit
There's not really much to discuss, besides occasional releases and "omg i bought a mac".
I managed to get my netbook (Toshiba NB500-11E) running as a hackintosh, just about. No proper graphics support and no wireless. It's on 10.6.0 at the moment but I wanna update it to the latest snow leopard update it can get, but it's hard to understand which updates will break it. I tried updating it to 10.6.6 using the combo update to get the Mac App Store but it had a kernel panic during the update which left it completely unbootable
And this is one of the reasons I still don't understand Hackintoshes...
Really, an authentic Mac won't cost nearly as much if you know where to buy. A lot of colleges have huge surplus sales at the end of the academic year, and they'll sell them for $2-300 each. Why? Because their budget allows for new workstations the next academic year, and it makes sense to clean out old stock. They don't have to break the proverbial, or literal, bank... Shop around.
This works for all sorts of stuff, not just computers... You can get some really nice furniture from surplus sales too.
I have never seen a university clear out Macs for $300.
[QUOTE=Protocol7;41547289]I have never seen a university clear out Macs for $300.[/QUOTE]
It may happen more often at research universities, since they tend to have more grant money floating around. I know my uni just cleared out all the library Macs, and replaced them with the new, really thin iMacs.
Do the Mid-2010 MacBook Pro's still perform well?
Might be getting the 13" 2.4Ghz version.

I have the 15" 2010 model with an SSD in it and it's still performing amazingly. Without an SSD, it's not too bad. Only problem with the 2010 model IMO is that it only supports SATA2 instead of 3.
AAaaaaaaaaa - go get Mavericks DP4 now

Anyone else have this problem with the iCloud Keychain?

So, my iphone 4 isn't working. I posted this on the support forum.
[QUOTE]Yesterday, I unlocked my phone and was in the SMS app. The touch screen was responsive, but neither of the buttons seemed to work. I would press them, and after a few seconds, it would ask to power down or go to voice control as if I was holding them. I tried to reboot my phone, but then it got stuck at the Apple logo. I tried doing a restore, but it would either get stuck on a black screen or on an apple logo with a loading icon. iTunes would give me a 1603 or 1604 error. I tried the online solutions to these errors, but with no luck. I even tried swtiching computers, updating iTunes, and changing the USB cable, with no luck. It also seem that the phone wont go into DFU mode when I try to put it into it. Instead, it just goes to the standard "plug into iTunes" recovery mode.

Anyone have any ideas? I called apple support and he basically told me that since I'm not under warranty, that I'd might as well buy a new phone.
So I have an iPod touch 3g 32gb and it's having distortion problems (you might remember me, I posted here before)
anything remotely bassy sounds like a horrible mess, and it's just the default music app, I've just tried restoring it and it's STILL doing it
I don't know what to do, I just want this iPod to work properly damnit
Have you considered the audio processing hardware might be shot?
A third party music app he used worked fine until it had an update.
Is there a way to be able to disable the recovery drive being used as recover? I'd love to just use it as a boot drive.
