I just had to get my iPad 3 replaced as the home button was broken, and not only did I lose Gmail Push (as it has been discontinued except for Apps and there is no way to upgrade a normal GMAIL account to apps), but I have also lost all my bookmarks on my iPad as they no longer allow direct syncing from iTunes, you can only get bookmarks from iCloud.That would be fine if iCloud bookmark syncing worked, especially with LastPass, which I use to sync my Chrome and Firefox bookmarks with Safarl. The problem is that ages ago my iCloud bookmarks became corrupted, and I could never get them to work right again, and now they seem to be empty. As even with iCloud bookmark sync on, I get no bookmarks on my iPad whatsoever! THIS REALLY SUCKS!!If only apple would allow you to have basic controls over iCloud, like overwrite iCloud with this computers bookmarks (like they used to have), but now it is so dumbed down that my bookmarks are screwed up and I can't fix them, and I can't just sync my bookmarks with iTunes like I always did previously!APPLE YOU HAVE REALLY FUCKED THIS UP! I don't want to have to go into the Apple Store to try and fix this either, but it might be the only method since there is no phone support. I just want my Bookmarks reset on iCloud. Why can't I do this?
Yes you can finally order the new Mac Pro from Apple, but it doesn't ship till February, which makes it really not available this year as promised. And it looks like Mac rumors was right on the pricing of the upgrades.Annoying that even a mouse and keyboard are extra and it doesn't even come with a thunderbolt cable! And with the 6 Core, 32 GB of memory, 1 TB of storage and the Dual AMD FirePro D700's with 6GB of VRAM we are looking at $5799. Not a cheap system at all.
Apple has updated Mavericks to 10.9.1, and it will specifically fix mail to work better with Gmail (though I personally haven't been having too many problems other than really slow update of read e-mail between devices. Check App Store for the update!
Everyone was expecting today to be the day fro the release of the new MacPro as Apple usually does it on Tuesdays, but as of 7:50 AM at least, the site still shows the basic MacPro information, but no info on upgrade costs, as it is suspected that these machines will quickly go up in price.MacRumors does have a list of suspected prices for the upgrades, but until Apple actually releases it is all estimation.Looks like an added $600 to go up to the D700 with 6GB of RAM and $800 for a 1TB SSD and $400 to go up to 32 GB of RAM, which is about all I could afford, as $1500 for an 8 core and $3000 for a 12 core just seems insane.
CNET has an article on preventing App Nap in Mavericks. Easier than you would think, since it is an option in info now!
Edit Geek has a good article on building your own Hackintosh MacPro to try and match the new MacPro's apple will be releasing in December.Still not the serious expansion I would want if I went through building a Mac Pro tower. For me it would have to be huge and I would consider Dual Xeons, though since all the new MacPro's are not dual processor, maybe an i7 would be enough. Dual 6 Cores would be great though, as I could never afford a 12 core.
You can get full NTFS support for OS X Mavericks for $19.95 from Paragon Software Group.
MacNN has heard that the MacPro may in fact have upgradeable video cards. The Rub is that it is a proprietary connector and shape needed, so the card would have to be specifically designed for it, and it is unlikely that say NVIDIA would do that.
