Braun macgeekgab.com @johnfbraun @macgeekgabMountain LionWho's Upgraded & Who Hasn't?Bart - I played dangerously and just upgraded all my machines - I've not yet noticed any problems (I did do two full backups before playing dangerously though)Tim - My Mac Pro cannot be updated to ML without a firmware hack (jabbawok.net/?p=47), but I have an updated video card that can handle it, 16 gigs of ram, and an SSD drive. Should Apple allow users to install ML on a Mac if the user feels they can run it?John - I upgraded on my MBP Early 2008 running Lion, all seems wellTIP...WHen installing, you can view installation log, save to disk, good to stay amused or diagnose install issuesKatie - yep running beta for weeksAllison - Wirecast Studio won't be ready till mid-August so my primary MBP can't go yet, so I used my spare MacBook for the upgradeMountain Lion Supported Models: apple.com/osx/specsDisappointmentsAngry about Airplay limitations - nothing pre mid-2011? (Allison)My friend Kevin got a hand me down mac from his son. bought new RAM last week, installed Snow Leopard at the Apple Store on Monday so he could go to Lion on Tuesday...and Lion was gone. what the heck does he do? (Allison)First app I tried to install I had to get rid of Gatekeeper (Desktop Presenter from Telestream.net)Apps that are already on your Mac when you up-grade get grand-fathered in to Gatekeeper - this probably why I've not hit any snagsApple said in the keynote that you could make exceptions - but I can't find out how on the intertubes, and all my un-signed apps are grandfathered in.Workaround - right click -> OpenDon't like VIP implementation - isn't just new messages802.11g Airport Express no longer worksSnapz Pro doesn't quite work, Ambrosia yet again has an app that doesn't quite work under new OS  (coming soon though: ambrosiasw.com/support/faqs/products/snapz-pro-x)None of my VM software (VMWare, VirtualBox) works, will need to upgrade, what did they change to kill all the VM software? It's not a matter of 'Killing' - you can't expect something so low-level to just work on a whole new OS without so much as an app update! BTW - the latest version of VirtualBox works fine according to roaringapps.com.Odd screen color bug after upgrade, had to go to Displays | Scaled then manually choose resolution to fix.  In other news, there's now a "Best for built-in display" option.  Big Brother is going ot make all the decisions for us now, eh? Or - they are making things easy for human beings?Crashplan was disabled, had to select and reinstall JVM, seems to be working again.No way to choose how long to snooze calendar alerts - some things I want to be reminded of in 5 mins, some in a day - why was this feature removed?Favorite FeaturesLove Safari 6Cool "Ask websites not to track me" and "prevent search engines from providing suggestions" privacy optionsWeb site and search entry field are the same, BLOW MY MINDSafari 6 killed the "Activity" section so you can't use that as a workaround to download videosPrivacy - can tell sites not to track meYou have to love the built-in security features. Gatekeeper + FileVault2 really gives a lot of protection.Yeah what's with warnings around accessing contact list, what are apps (so far I've had WeatherBug, DashBoard and SpamSieve request access) trying to do?I like the privacy controlls around the Addressbook APIsI think we are not seeing it's full potential yet, but the Twitter & Flickr integration and the sharing panes are going to become really useful as more and more apps start to use these APIsSimiarly - I think Notification Centre has great potential, but ATM, most of my apps are still writting to Growl.New version of mail, why?

Braun - macgeekgab.com @johnfbraun Siri - apple.com/iphone/features/siri.html iPhone 4S Who upgraded who didn't and why? Difference in AT&T Upgrade Elligability Option to move to a different Carrier Sprint offering some $125 credit to move (have to ask) ETF less than subsidized price Concerns about being out of cycle for iPhone 5 next year Camera I'm impressed but some disquiet on Twitter on noise artifacts. Not the sky in the photo at full res: flickr.com/photos/mcallister_family Battery Noticing very poor battery performance - need a few more recharge cycles? (Don) Siri iOS 5 General: Finding lots of nice tweaks everywhere Has really slowed down my original iPad :( - not QUITE as bad as iOS 4 on an iPhone 3G, but typing should NEVER be laggy! (Luckily it's just for Bart) Upgrade process - 10.7.2, iOS 5, iCloud, iTunes For me, iOS update failed repeatedly, data in Console log ~/Library/Logs/iPhoneUpdater.log ended with "iTunes: Restore error 3200" Apple Support article on restore helped some http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1275 I heard reports that plugging cable directly into device, rather than using dock, helped. MacVoices #1190: John Chaffee of BusyMac Discusses the Transition From MobileMe to iCloud for Calendar Syncing macvoices.com/wordpress/macvoices-1190-john-chaffee-of-busymac-discusses-the-transition-from-mobileme-to-icloud-for-calendar-syncing/ iCloud Disappointed that the iWork suite wasn't upgraded to take into account iCloud sync'ing. Expecting a huge release in the coming weeks with new versions of apps plus full iCloud support for Numbers, Pages and Keynote on the Mac Took several hours to make move (servers swamped) Lost 20,000 archived email messages in the proces Apple recovered - then lost again questionable support experience MailSteward and Time Machine FTW! With a few exceptions like Photo Stream, this seems to be all just Mobile Me 2.0, but with loads of features REMOVED! I'm afraid to migrate to iCloud since I still have one machine on Snow Leopard. Reminders Location reminders very cool - needs some setup in Contacts list Can't do location based reminders on an iPad or Exchange accounts Very basic functionality No ability to share reminders (household to do list) No start/end times Limited categories Everything syncs to iCal iMessage So cool!  If recipient is capable, input field will say iMessage, otherwise, Text Message. Settings | Messages | Receive At shows phone and email messages can be received at, need to use email registered as Apple ID? Settings | Messages | Send as SMS will send via SMS if iMessage fails, I had this happen once with person who was iMessage capable I have no disabled MMS - this is so great for people who HATE those massive bills. Superb for people living in Europe with all those little countries! Photostream Love having photos show up in Aperture No ability to selectively choose what syncs No ability to remove individual photos from stream Wireless sync Settings | General | iTunes Wi-Fi Sync.  Says device must be connected to power, I found I could without power. Only automatic sync needs power. Problems with Podcasts - deleted off iPhone get re-synced with iTunes Notifications Text Tones by person Maps alternate routes Split keyboard on iPad Camera Like new AE/AF lock feature, was able to take pic of neon theater sign at night that iOS 4 camera app would fail on. New Apps - AirPort Utility, Trailers, Find Friends (requires iCloud), Cards iCloud charging us $40 this year? Picks     John - Rubbernet €30 macobserver.

Braun, Mac Geek Gab http://www.macgeekgab.com @johnfbraun Lion Hits the Virtual Shelves: The Good: The app store download was painless, and you CAN easily move the PKG file around to the various machines in your house, so only have to DL once If you know to move it to another drive before you run the installer No problem burning bootable DVD I don't think I was charged, I had downloaded the developer's GM version earlier, is it supposed to be free if you're a developer? Apple have announced a version of USB thumb-drive for those not on Snow Leopard or with bad internets - coming out next month at $69 Full disk encryption with FileVault2 is an absolute breeze - you can even keep using your Mac while the disk is encrypting itself Also, to protect your machine's drive from being mounted Firmware Password Protection http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1352 The OS-wide auto-correct is really nicely implemented - a great carry-over from iOS On the whole, I think the new 'natural' scrolling is a very positive upgrade, it takes us from controlling the scroll bar which controls the page, to just controlling the page we want to read. The iOS-like scroll bounce is a lovely little touch Hard to switch between Macs If you do want to change it back, System Preferences | Trackpad | Scroll & Zoom | Scroll direction : natural -> UNCHECK There is an app to add natural scrolling to Snow Leopard - Scroll Reverser: http://pilotmoon.com/scrollreverser/ Like the full screen apps a lot - more useful to me than Spaces ever were Zoom in window is cool for visually impaired (but I can't find how to zoom the whole screen) Love love love email - threads so clean and crisp, I almost hope I get email from someone on aol! Reverted to older layout (Preferences | Layout | Use classic layout -> CHECK) I prefer msgs on top content on bottom, not side by side - me too, so glad they left the classic option The iOS-like auto-save is both really cool and really disconcerting - will be confusing for a while as apps are updated, but sould soon become the new normal. Saving state when re-opened is nice, you can disable (hold down option to Quit and Discard Windows) The Bad: The total lack of any indication of what does and doesn't scroll is very annoying - particully on web pages where just parts of a page scroll - don't need scroll bars, but surely SOME indication is needed! Scroll doesn't work in Help! Spaces has really been hobbled for power users - more people will use the feature now, but power users are taking a real step back The new monochrome Finder with the most important stuff at the bottom (hard drives) is REALLY annoying " edited entries in com.apple.security.plist and they're gone. No "obvious" way to hide the "message" pane in the new mail layout. When I delete a message it jumps to the next one and marks it as read which I may or maynot want.

Braun - Mac Geek Gab macgeekgab.com @johnfbraun @macgeekgab David Sparks - Mac Power Users macpowerusers.com MacSparky macsparky.com @macsparky Lion - Questions/Concerns Is there an ability to do a "fresh" install We know there's a "hack for the boot CD" What if I don't have Snow Leopard? What about grandpa, move him or not? What if I have limited Bandwidth? What's with all the gesture stuff?  Will one *need* trackpad or touch surface to use OS X?   will this be too confusing? What about special needs users? FileVault 2!  Done right, and works on external drives too Windows migration, take that, Microsoft! Autosave & versioning - particular about window locations this is good...or is it? ForeverSave 2 (utility you can use now for auto-save) Will developers have to write to the APIs? 250 new features: http://www.apple.com/macosx/whats-new/features.html iOS 5 - Questions/Concerns Many of these offered on other devices/platforms (PC-free, WiFi sync) about time Hope Twitter won't be a baby like they have been with third party devs when it comes to development of clients Are we marking the iPad as a PC replacement now? Can iCloud really replace a PC for Backup, Software updates and Sync? What about Podcasts? will they wirelessly sync "Wireless Sync" to your Mac still requires a power cable What about Game Center? Importance of iMessage - is it important? LOVE camera avail from lock screen iCloud - Questions/Concerns Here's the article with details on the transition http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4597 (keep your me.com or mac.com email address and move your MobileMe mail, contacts, calendars, and bookmarks) What about my other MobileMe stuff?  Publishing photos via iWeb?  Back to my Mac? what about iDisk? is iWeb gone? (Hope not) Big Picture - Different visions What if cloud isn't available?  How does this work on local networks?  Will this make DropBox obsolete. I think this will make the need for Dropbox even greater with no iDisk? Will people actually spend more money on other services to replace iDisk? Will people actually spend more money on other services to replace MobileMe functionality? Novice users at my MUG were very concerned about MobileMe going away, they don't want multiple services for cloud storage (dropbox), photos (flickr, and others) and their own domains (homepage). They want something simple and "Mac like" Picks: Katie: CardMunch cardmunch.com , itunes.apple.com/us/app/cardmunch-business-card-reader - Free David: Reeder for Mac - itunes.apple.com/us/app/reeder $10 John: Verbatim InSight 320 drive verbatim.com $119 Allison: Flexiglass from nulana.com/flexiglass $8

Topics in this show include: Skype bought by Microsoft - what does that mean to podcasting? is there a chance they won't screw this up? It's Microsoft, how can they not screw this up? Display problem with new MacBook Pros - screen flicker on Apple cinema displays using Thunderbolt & shift of the bottom 1/4 of the screen (not fixed by recent firmware update) Confusion about where your applications came from when it comes time to reinstall Mac App Store (MAS) Direct from developer - where's my license key/serial number Direct from developer - but they used a web link for authorization If you have CRL checking ON in Keychain Access | Certificates, many operations in MAS take FOREVER What's CRL? CRL is Certificate Revocation List, it's a way for an application to see if any of the certificates it normally trusts have been Revoked. Here's an article with more detail http://www.securitygeneration.com/security/safari-mac-os-x-and-fraudulent-ssl-certificates-comodo/ How excited are we about Final Cut X?

Lion is released New Mac Pros are released I'm finished with all the client jobs I'm in the middle of doing with the current FCP 3 Mac Security - is it time to worry? Fake anti-virus download Want to be clear that this was Malware, best defense is to just not automatically install an app, or disable "Open "safe" files after downloading" in Safari General preferences Skype payload bug Also good discussion, if someone you don't know sends you an attachment, it could be this attack, more detail here http://thenextweb.com/apple/2011/05/06/a-bug-in-skype-for-mac-could-give-hackers-root-access-to-os-x/ Tim runs antivirus apps on all the Macs that other household members use, none on his own But what's in the virus definitions if there are still no viruses (defined as self-replicating malware) Video/Audio movement between Macs and iPads and other media devices DroboFS and FIreFly media server and how it worked for Allison's needs but did not work for Katie's.
