Power Nap ONLY applies to total SSD based Retina models. I have a new ivy bridge 15" MBP and Power Nap does not even appear as an option. With 16GB of RAM in my new MBP, I really did not want that much SSD space taken by the hibernation file, thu…

This argument over Fusion vs the various hybrid drives was thoroughly hashed over, several months ago. Fusion is NOT the same as a hybrid drive which uses a small amount of onboard FLASH NAND to cache read/writes to the rotating portion of the dr…

Just tested my ip5 running 6.0.2 and this reported bug is pure bs. I have JS turned off and when I attempt to launch anything that needs JS I get a message the JS is off and must be turned on to view. There is NO automatic JS turnon, at least not in…

Yes, it appears as a single drive to the OS as well as TimeMachine and Superduper. This is first hand info as I am using BYO Fusion on my MBP and have backed up using TM as well as SuperDuper and actually restored from a SuperDuper clone. D…

On late model MBPs, the SATA interface to the HDD is SATA III (ie 6Gb) while the SATA interface to the optical bay is SATA II (ie 3Gb). If you buy a SSD that supports 6Gb and you don't install it in the HDD bay, you will NOT gain the maximum perf…

Not only does Fusion (actually Core Storage) implement a tiered storage model, it operates at the block level as clearly demonstrated by jollyjinx (second post). When you have large files where only a subsection of a file gets routine updates (th…

BYO Fusion UP AND RUNNING It is doable, but as stated, you will have to get down and dirty with terminal and diskutil. I have been running an 120GB OWC SSD and a 750GB Scorpio Black in my MBP for about a year now, but I had manually mo…

I suspect that this issue was WELL known by Apple before the first iphone 5 arrived in a customer's hands. When I picked up my IP5 early on day one at the ATT store, the salesman took mine out of the box and visually inspected it from all angles,…

UPDATE to ATT small hourly data leakage. With the help of DataMan Pro, I tracked down what was leaking data on an hourly basis despite the iPhones being connected to Wifi. Turns out it is APPLE! It is their push notifications. I found an apple…

I am on ATT as a mobileshare customer. I have an IP5 and an IP4S on the plan. Both phones are running iOS6 and both phones, while sitting plugged in and on the local WiFi, ONCE EVERY HOUR, connect to ATT and send between 1 to 5 KBs of data. The …

I am having an issue with Bluetooth, but not the one that everyone seems fixated on at the moment. I have been able to verify that the problem is generic to the IP5 hardware as a visit to the local Apple store allowed us to try several different …

Had a preorder at Bestbuy, but they emailed me that my order (placed early on day one), would not be available and could be as long as 28days or more before they could fulfill my order. Decided to take my chances on the ATT store in Plano (Dallas…

I use two Powermat inductive charging cases and chargers (ip4 & ip4S). They are NOT slower than USB when charging. The Powermat can charge from below to 20% remaining to full charge in less than an hour and while there small inefficiencies a…

I have been running Parallels ever since the original version launched. Parallels 8 is by far the best one yet. The performance is significantly snappier than version 7. Integration into the Mac environment continues to improve and having all t…
