Q: Apps bought on iTunes not showing up on the iPhone 4

11:28 AM

An app that i buy on iTunes doesn't show up in the iPhone with iCloud unless i sync it with a cable. Also the reverse applies. Anything bought on the iPhone doesn't show up in iTunes in the computer unless the cable is connected. Any suggestions? Thanks.

This question is weird, two users with auto-assigned names, very close to each other in number (16834 and 16873), almost looks a bit sock puppet (It's not, I'm sure, just looks odd) and no up votes or accepted answers even though the problem seems resolved.

Q: What are some good uses of Hazel?

11:42 AM

I think Hazel is a great idea, but I'm having trouble finding practical uses for it. A short search revealed the below pages, but I still didn't find anything compelling. Why I Started Using Hazel for Mac Mac Automation Tips: Hazel Seven Amazing Uses for Hazel

Bad CW question in the making?

@stuffe What's wrong with sock puppets?

As a professional Sock Puppet, I take that as an insult.

@stuffe not sock puppets, just a coincidence

SU moderators are refusing to migrate the Option-Return in chat topic on MSU I mentioned a few days ago to MSO. Sorry about that, wouldn't have posted there if I had known.

FYI, I implemented a user script for browsers in full screen mode on Stack Exchange sites so that only dialogs are closed when pressing escape.

@DanielBeck Can we start the same request in MAD, or does that defeat the purpose?

@Daniel No idea. I'd wait a few more days. Apparently the mods informed the team. Maybe we'll get a reaction.

Just now on SU chat by Rebecca Chernoff: "I know you've been posting a lot and think things aren't getting attention on MSU. That isn't true. It's just a case of resources and priorities. We see them. We're not ignoring them. You have my word. (;" — I suggest we wait another week or two and see what happens.

(on the topic of rejecting a migration of several topics from MSU to MSO to get them more attention, including the one mentioned.)

this is hilarious - look at the 5th highest user by rep on Sharepoint:

Clever guy ;)

I've thought about renaming our Community user to something more descriptive

But then he won't have the same name as that high-rep user over on Sharepoint.

true

the accounts will still be linked though

It might hurt Community's feelings.

But seriously, what sort of name do you think would clearly communicate who this Community bot is?

11:49 PM

that's the hard part, I don't know

Community has a few not particularly connected functions.

The most visible is the random bumper.

right

We could name Community daviesgeek

:-)

that might be funny

or vice versa :)

On a cooking site it could be called "Pot Stirrer" or something like that.

yeah, some sites have more apt possiblities

but last I checked, we're not a cooking site.

Unless they changed the FAQ over the weekend and I didn't notice.

There was some ridiculous thing from years back, SJ came up with the idea that this little man would pop up and help out, he was going to be called Mac or something.

Amy I talking rubbish here?

I recall some daft story from the original mac

@Daniel yeah, you didn't get the memo? apple.stackexchange.com/faq

@stuffe Sounds like Microsoft Bob

@stuffe I don't think he was going to help, I think that it was supposed to be an easter egg or something
