question for Tony Danza

hi Tony

how do i prevent iTunes from opening automatically when i
turn on the mac on nowadays?

i knew the preference was located in system
preferences/account in the past but i can't seem to find
that anymore

What OS? I'm on Mojave, and the account startup prefs are in
system prefs > users and groups > (your account) > login
items.

Apple churns their features too much but at one time (and
maybe now?) iTunes would open if you had an iOS device
plugged in. Perhaps something else is plugged in or
connected by bluetooth? "Smart" speakers?

im on 10.9.5 btw

do you buy OS updates or..?


 

offline Tony Danza from NAFO Suicide Hotline on 2020-03-05 15:22 [#02596294]
Points: 3623 Status: Lurker



The OS updates have been free for a while now, as long as
your hardware supports them... I could install Catalina but
I like to stay a version behind for compatibility.

yes im not updating as well since i got the comp for
compatibility/permission issues ive got in the past with my
previous 2 macs

i didnt mean exactly updates (i know they're free) i mean
whole OSses

i used to pirate them in the past, never bought a new OS
ever

Maybe it's different in Europe with the laws and licensing
but here we get the whole ass OS for free, ever since... I
wanna say... Mavericks?


 

offline mohamed from the turtle business on 2020-03-05 16:49 [#02596301]
Points: 31145 Status: Regular | Show recordbag



yes looks like its name is Mavericks

i just checked software update and it seems i can get the
newer OS for free as well

it says compatibility it starts from 10.9 onwards

dunno if the hardware can support it but im gonna lose
everything Logic for sure (anoter program i got for free..
from the shop in Egypt where i bought the comp itself)

The problem with Catalina is no more 32 bit app support at
all, at all. They just won't run. I still have a few
utilities I want to keep, hoping they'll get updated before
I'm forced to upgrade.


 

offline Tony Danza from NAFO Suicide Hotline on 2020-03-05 17:15 [#02596304]
Points: 3623 Status: Lurker



Oh and depending how much RAM you have you may not want to
upgrade. 8gb or more should be OK.

Points: 31145 Status: Regular | Show recordbag



my mac has exactly 8gb of ram, not sure if the apps i use
have 32 bits or more, shouldn't be a problem for the use i
make of the comp except for logic

While Logic is running, open activity monitor and search for
Logic, then in the CPU tab the column on the right will say
if it's 64 bit. (it probably is)

No problem, mate!


 

offline mohamed from the turtle business on 2020-03-05 19:22 [#02596332]

yes it says its 64

thanks a lot!

couldnt install catalina, the installer makes me accept the
license then it sticks forever w/o dowloading anything, only
one time of the countless i tried i got the message that
important components couldnt be downloaded at that moment
and to try later, and i cant redowload the installer cos the
software update window says 'installed'.

the thread you did about the synth made my mind up though, i
think im gonna lost some of the few plug ins i have (some
are very old)

it takes a long time, the MacOS installers are 5gb or more
these days. It might be downloading in the background, and
eventually it will show up. It will alert you and ask you if
you want to install now.

Well shit. How long has it been? Did you do a full restart?
Is the installer lurking in your applications folder?

1. didnt calculate the longest waits but i remember checking
a medium one, 5 minutes w/o any dowload to start

2. nothing started

3. yes

if it doesn't work I can upload the Mojave installer for
you. It will be less bother launching unsigned programs
anyways.

Don’t install Catalina unless you want all your 32 bit
apps murdered

i learned that Mavericks was the second free OS update by
apple, i was still at the feline times before that, when
they were still selling them

Argh, fuck, what a waste of time. The signing certificate
probably expired.

Try this - I just found out you can still get it in
the app store even though it's "hidden"

I like dark mode, I have Flux set to activate it at night

not much of a games guy, I play some Steam things once in a
while. I bought Alien Isolation but it makes my computer
heat up like a charcoal (shitty integrated Intel graphics
chipset)

filthy!
