I also just got my rMBP back from Apple after having it's screen replaced under the staingate program. Anyone else see increased fan usage under normal usage, including web browsing and document production?
It would be so good if OS X and iOS became one unified operating system at the base level, meaning that applications etc are universal across both. To do this without messing up the great way Mac works now, apps built for iOS which have flexible size guidelines could just be run as windowed...

Probably Best off to start with the background to the issue.

I'm constantly moving between using my MacBook Pro on the road and then when home, in Clamshell mode. I currently use Specticale and a keyboard command shortcut to centre each window! Window positions are never remembered when I move between clamshell and standalone. Does anyone know of an app...
Normally: when you drag a file from an external drive to the Desktop (for example), the file will copy (meaning the file remains on the external HD AND the desktop)
Is there a way to JUST drag the file and it moves, rather than copies? (like an option, or a keyboard shortcut?)
Hey guys,

In this screenshot I just manually made Safari display an alert from the console with a simple:
alert("This looks a lot like apple's developer sites and iOS")
Have any of you ever seen that?
Do you think...

The other day I was trying to buy something on Amazon when little window tiles popped up offering the same thing at Target. I ignored it because I figured it must be some relatively harmless adware on Amazon. Then it popped up on other sites including Macrumors! I also started getting redirected...
Hi all, I own a Mid 2014 Retina MacBook Pro (2.6GHz, 256GB SSD), and am running OSX 10.11 El Capitan. I much prefer the aesthetics and looks of OSX 10.9 Mavericks, and am thinking about any disadvantages of downgrading? There would need to be some things I have to be able to do if I am going to...
Is there a way to check to see what might be running on my Mac, its 2009 replaced hard drive last year. Maybe its just old but it sounds like something is still running on it, even when not in use. For example I go to bed and I hear like the hard drive noise. Can I use activity monitor to see...
I recently updated to El Capitan after the constant notifications from Apple borderline forcing me to do so. It has performed quite well other than a few app incompatibility issues but they should be fixed by developers. Today however I ran into an issue when trying to watch a film, I went to...
Hi all,
I need your help, like the thread title states, I can't install the nVidia graphics driver update, and the option to choose the nVidia driver as the video card driver is greyed out and the system is defaulting to the Mac driver which is not allowing me to use my GTX 980 in my Mac Pro...
For reference, I'm talking about the text replacement shortcuts (a default one is "omw" for "On my way!")
I seem to remember at one point that these shortcuts would sync between iPhone and Mac through iCloud. It actually happened for me once at long time ago, but never since. Is this not a...
Can anyone point me to some information in regard to the process of standing up an OSX Update Server on a private network not connected to the Internet?

I am trying to install Windows 8.1 on a secondary drive. What I have done is taken out my OSX drive and replaced with the secondary drive. I have booted OSX from a backup on a USB3 hard drive.
