OS X V10.7 Lion :: Messages Beta Gone Nearly Unusable?

Jun 26, 2012

I've been using the Messages Beta for a while now and its been great. I've it installed on two machines. One machine is fine, but on the other it's nearly unusable. The messages window is all over the place. I click on a message in the left hand side and nothing happens. Double click on another and I get a totally different message. I've odd blank messages... And when I quit and reopen different messages show. Now I reinstalled it a few times now, and nothing has any effect... any ideas while I wait until mountain lion?? Ive also ditched all the prefs I can see.

OS X V10.7 Lion :: Messages Beta Missing Features?

Feb 16, 2012

What I am missing in messages beta is the possibility to see who of your contacts have the application, or are using a device with IOS 5.Now you write the message, and when you want to send it, yu find out that the people are unavailable to imessage. Big advantage of whatsapp or messaging through viber/Skype is that you can see the contacts which uses the application.

OS X V10.7 Lion :: Messages Beta For Mac - Clears History When Closed

Feb 16, 2012

I have a big annoyance with the Messages Beta for Mac. When I close the window and re-open it, all the conversations are gone. This makes it hard to reply to a message I got earlier or review recent conversations. On iDevices, if you close it, everything is still there, unless you delete it.

OS X V10.7 Lion :: Messages Beta Asking To Accept Texts All Of A Sudden?

Apr 11, 2012

For some reason, Messages Beta suddenly began throwing up a dialog when I receve a new text, asking me to accept it. It just started doing this a few days ago. This doesn't happen with every message I receive, and I know the senders that "cause" this message are fellow iPhone users. Could they be using an old version of iOS?

I have a macbook air running OSX Lion 10.7.3. I have installed Messages beta and am using my Apple ID.

MacBook Air :: Stop IMessage Notifications On IPhone When Using Messages Beta On It?

Feb 16, 2012

Just downloaded it right now and it's excellent! However, I notice a possible flaw in which whenever I receive a message from someone, it will notify me on both my Mac AND my iPhone! As you might imagine, it's pretty annoying given iMessages are flying through on my Mac. I was wondering if anyone knows how to stop iPhone notifications when messaging on Mac. I hope this feature will be added in ASAP from Apple if it doesn't exist yet!

OS X V10.7 Lion :: Imac Unusable After 10.7.4

Jun 18, 2012

I desperately seek help from the community as Apple itself doesn't seem to care much.After updating to 10.7.4 my Imac has become unusable. It goes into a loading state just about every 10 minutes at which i can do little more than move the mouse around. I know it is the new update causing this (and not the hardware) because i also have a Bootcamp partition which works totally fine. Does anyone have any advice or solutions? Unfortunately i am currently not in the position to reinstall my system. I have no more space on my external HD to back up everything and am not in the position to purchase a new hard drive. And in my opinion, i shouldn't have to resort to such drastic measures because Apple released such a terrible update.

Applications :: Camino 2.0 Beta 2 Vs Safari 4 Beta?

Mar 4, 2009

I like Safari's U.I. very much, but, everytime I load around 5 pages at the same time it starts to freeze and give me the rainbow circle on the mouse pointer. If I open the same sites with Camino everything works great and even faster than Safari.

I do not want to quite switch to Camino, because its UI is ugly, but its really superior to Safari on speed terms and has the same compatibility as Firefox, because its Gecko engine (?).
I will miss Top Sites and Safari's UI so much

How your Safari works? Is it fast and freeze free?

MacBook Pro :: Wireless Unusable With New MBP

Nov 16, 2010

Internet seemed very very sluggish when working at home via a wireless access point...

Tested with ping and found the reason:

PING rottentomatoes.com (209.237.233.38): 56 data bytes
Request timeout for icmp_seq 0
Request timeout for icmp_seq 1
64 bytes from 209.237.233.38: icmp_seq=2 ttl=54 time=267.700 ms

Request timeout for icmp_seq 10

Request timeout for icmp_seq 12

Yikes... what's going on... almost every packet being dropped causing essentially unusable websites.

Test 1: Unplug wireless access point and plug Ethernet cable directly into MBP

64 bytes from 209.237.233.38: icmp_seq=11 ttl=54 time=255.626 ms

Conclusion 1: It's not the modem or ISP, but the WAP

Test 2: Try wireless with my trusty Linux netbook...

No problems with dropped packets.

Conclusion 2: It is the MBP + wireless that is the problem

Now what can I do about it?

I have googled around and found some older threads about problems with wireless with OS 10.6.3 and various ad hoc solutions, but nothing really current.

Mac Pro :: Bluetooth Mouse Unusable (Lag And Tracking)

Nov 2, 2009

About a month back, I purchased a wireless mighty mouse and tried using it with my 2009 Mac Pro. The lag and tracking were terrible, making it unusable. When connected to my MacBook Air (on the same desk) it worked flawlessly. I assumed at the time there was a problem with the bluetooth on my Mac Pro so I've been meaning to get Apple Support on the case but just haven't got around to it (using the old wired mouse as before).

Now, I'm reading some stories on the peripherals forum that owners of Mac Pro's have issues with lag and tracking with the new Magic Mouse, and some are stating that it's a known problem with the Mac Pro chassis that it doesn't enable adequate bluetooth operation due to all the metal. Is this true? What's your experience using a bluetooth mouse with the Mac Pro?

MacBook Air :: Dock On Left Or Right - Find It Unusable

Oct 23, 2010

But it seems this or hiding it will be the only way to go with the new small air. The thing that I find very badly thought out in apple's implementation is that the furthest left icon on the dock (the finder one) becomes the top on when you put it on the left or right and there's no option to reverse the this. Now when you are switching between windows it takes much more time to travel with your mouth near the top and left or right than it would near the bottom for obvious usability reasons. So you end up having the closest to you those icons (minimized ones, stacks) that you will use less often to switch from one to the other, and the ones you will use more often such as the first few ones the furthest up. I can't see how people can work with this kind of set up and I am always amazed how some people manage to keep their dock on the left or right...

MacBook Pro :: Freezing And Really Slow Bootup - Unusable

Aug 13, 2009

Ive had my macbook for about 2 months and its seemed to working just fine. However today while listening to music it decided to lock up and freeze for a good minute before it would unlock and continue playing the music through itunes. It did this a few times so I finally decided to restart the computer. The first time I booted it it froze on the apple logo and the loading circle. I killed it and rebooted, it takes about four to five minutes to get to the desktop picture, and another five to pull up the main menu bar. I am going to let it sit over night and see if it gives me any error messages, however; I still haven't seen the dock at all, and ive let it start for about twenty minutes now. It will usually show the top menu bar and then the mouse will give me the sbod while it slowly loads up the top menu bar, and usually the clock is a good few minutes behind.

I have tried a pram zap, draining the power off the board, checking the sata connection, unplugging the power, and I ran a hardware check at start up and it said everything was ok. I am currently typing on my tank of a toshiba laptop that still works after being dropped multiple times and has been heavily used for a good 3 years. The mac has been completely useless is most work situations. Its a refurbished 2.53ghz 4gb ram 9600m 512mb 15" mbp. I am thinking of reformatting it and hoping it works, and then selling it and using the money for a new toshiba or a custom built desktop, because I just cant deal with the amount of money and time I have lost trying to deal with this thing while I could have been getting work done.

IMac :: Bright Screen In BootCamp - Unusable

Jan 10, 2010

Have a late 09 i7 27" iMac with XP SP3 installed on Bootcamp partition. Even after turning down brightness in BootCamp control panel all the way down, I still feel like I'm staring at the sun. Screen is still way too bright. No such issue in OS X. Is there any Windows app (similar to Shades) that allows further brightness reduction? With brightness as is, Bootcamp is pretty much unusable to me.

Windows On Mac :: Win7 Unusable When Running Through VMWare

Mar 17, 2010

I've just installed Windows 7 on my new iMac and when running it through VMWare it's extremely slow and basically unusable. Thought it would be super-fast on the i7?!

My set up is as follows:
Windows 7 64-bit on 50GB Bootcamp partition
VMWare 3 using 2 processor cores & 1500MB Ram

Things improve marginally if I use the ultra basic visual theme.
