So, you have installed OS X Lion and for some odd reasons Dropbox doesn’t work correctly. What you need to do is to download the latest version of Dropbox, 1.1.35 is the current shipping version. If for some reason the shipping version is not working and you feel a little bit adventurous you can download the latest forums build; 1.2.16 is the latest build as of July 19th, 2011 and it is Lion compatible.
One Uninterruptible Power Supply started beeping earlier today. Upon inspection the battery must be replaced.
It is an 8-year-old APC branded UPS. I need to get a replacement as soon as possible.
Apple released Mac OS X 10.6.8 as expected ahead of OS X Lion. It is available through Software Update and Apple Support Downloads page.
Yet another EVGA graphics card with blown capacitors. The computer failed to boot with this e-GeForce 7600 GT installed.
According to posting on MacRumors forums, iOS 5 beta breaks Netflix and Hulu App. Then again, iOS 5 beta is intended for testing, not for general use. iOS Developers should be if not already aware of this kind of issue.
We are under the assumption that Netflix and Hulu are aware of this issue. Expect the apps to work when iOS 5 is publicly released.
I got a call yesterday from a friend asking me if I could install MCE OptiBay on his 2011 15-inch MacBook Pro. I have worked on a lot of Unibody MacBook Pro but never actually installed an OptiBay on one. I figure that it would be similar to Optical Drive replacements on any Unibody MacBook Pro.
The OptiBay was overnighted from MCE headquarter in Brea, California and arrive on Friday Afternoon. I started taking the MacBook Pro bottom plate off and removing the Optical Drive. The installation was pretty easy, in less than 15 minutes, I had the OptiBay installed.
The OptiBay comes with a USB enclosure for the Optical Drive. The plastic enclosure comes with a few screws and a pretty narrow SATA to USB adapter board. The build quality is not that great but it does the job. The USB enclosure comes with two USB cables, one is for data and the other one is for power.
Pictures coming soon.
Other World Computing also sells something similar and it is called Data Doubler. It costs less but it doesn’t come with the USB enclosure for the Optical Drive.
More details later.
Apple posts instructions on how to avoid or remove Mac Defender malware.
Apple sure did take the time to prepare the response while many pundits are calling the beginning of the “Mac-Apocalypse.”
One thing any Safari users should disable the Open “Safe” files after downloading preferences in Safari.
There is a legitimate software called MacDefender, and it has nothing to do with the malware.
