I had previously covered how my early MBP Retina (early 2013) had a squeaky command button here. Since the command buttons (⌘) and the space bar have a metal stabilization bar built-in, these keys tend to squeak. After investigating quite extensively, I could not find a good information source on how to get rid of […]
I used to have a 2010 MBP 17″, the best Mac I ever owned. It had a beautiful and functional sleep light, and a separate power button. Then, Apple removed both for Retina and the newer class of machines like the Air. Now, not only we no longer have the separate power button, but the […]
We still have two computers here running Snow, and they have been reliable work horses over the years. Snow Leopard was the last reliable and stellar operating system conceived while Steve was still at the helm, and it was indeed the high-water mark of Mac OS’s. What came after sucked badly, to put it lightly. […]
Today, Apple released 10.9.2. Unfortunately, however, it does not seem to have resolved the issue of having to key in your mail password repeatedly, as documented here, and on this site.
More importantly, 10.9.2 seems to have introduced a new bug that surfaces during Finder copy from local volumes to remote volumes on Mavericks server 3.0.2. Copies partially fail with error message -36. This new problem was not there with 10.9.1 & Server 3.0.2.
Super annoying. Interestingly, my 2010 MBP 17″ also had exactly the same thing with the same key.

Last week, I traveled to Dallas from Chicago. I brought with me an older, original Apple charger cable for my phone. First day, as I tried to charge my iPhone 4, it kept saying “accessory may not be supported”. After many tries, I got another cable from the hotel reception and tried to charge the […]
As we have previously reported here, the Gigabit adaptor frequently causes reboots. Today, we came across to an OS X behavior that we had seen at least once before. Today, the Finder’s menu bar essentially crashed, displaying beachball when pointer was over it. Attempting to restart the MBP Retina resulted in hanging with a white […]
iTunes has always been the consistently most unreliable software from Apple. Ever since acquiring SoundJam and releasing it as iTunes on January 9th, 2001, Apple has been constantly rebuilding this behemoth, with very mixed results. Earlier on up till perhaps version 6, iTunes had significant issues playing music without stutter, which in itself is possibly the biggest […]
I have been using Apple’s Thunderbolt Gigabit Ethernet adapter for about 10 months now with my 15″ Retina (Early 2013), and I have had some interesting experiences. The Thunderbolt Gigabit adapter was buggy with Mountain Lion, but is equally buggy with Mavericks. When the adapter is used, these are typical: Machine frequently does not wake […]
Mr. Cook; I bought my first Mac in March of 1985, and I have been a loyal Apple customer ever since. I have been responsible for sales of hundreds of Apple products over the past 29 years through my passionate Apple evangelism. However, over the past 2-3 years, I have been getting […]
