Been visiting macnn.com about every day since about 1996 (?!) I think. It became a daily fix pretty quickly. Really sad to see it go, thank you MacNN for the 20+ years of great Mac news. I'd go in...

I just had the exact same problem on my MBP17 (2.16) as well. It seemed normal this morning until I called Apple about the problem I had with it shutting down after 15 mins on a full battery. They...

Got my MBP 17 yesterday. I noticed the whine this morning. It's very slight on this machine and doesn't bother me very much.

What's interesting is that it does the exact opposite of what my 15...

Good question - right now I'm repairing tables because I've been doing a lot of testing, but that might be worth trying. Using mysqladmin shutdown works okay.

After having done some Googling...

That's interesting - is this something that Apple is going to change with Tiger?

Hi Gavin,

Thanks for information. I installed MySQL using the .pkg binary available. Normally, I fire up MySQL using the command line. I thought that this might be the problem, so I tried...

Again, I also tried it with a regular Apple menu type of shutdown - not by using the APC software (in fact I tried it twice just to be sure). I'm guessing that all APC's software does is tell the OS...

OS X not being "nice" to MySQL on shutdown? 1,172 Views / 10 Replies  
First, let me explain our setup - we're using a Mac mini connected to an APC UPS, doing MySQL replication. The idea here is to have the mini on battery power so that replication doesn't get screwed...

I think Backup is great, combined with a .Mac account I can schedule daily backups and not even think about it.

My only major gripe is that backing up your Safari settings also backs up the Safari...

They must have realized I needed it more since I'm still using a Pismo!

I chose the "expedited" shipping option. I wonder if those were processed before the others.

Ordered a 15" with the additional video and faster HD on 4/19.

Shipped, but it's sitting around in Shanghai right now. It missed the plane last night :brick:

Should get here Monday.
