Prey macos1/2/2024 ![]() That is what make me feel like prey I don’t want an iToy for my daily work I want changes only if they make my work more efficient. Now maybe Apple will get things right in the move forward, but also Apple has already proven that (in Lion) that they will be sloppy and will alter the user interface in ways that degrade usability in all sorts of small ways, and thus add tedium to what have been simple tasks. But that is just a detail, the real issue is the design failure to realize that the conceptually clean Duplicate command (shortcut or not) forces a Duplicate-Save-navigate-rename workflow that is more error prone and time consuming than the near-instant save-as-Enter (cmd-shift-S, Enter) workflow. ![]() Along with the fact that two “Duplicate” commands make it impossible to add a shortcut that works. I don't think that will happen, but as evidence that too little thought is given to the matter, consider the lack of a command-key shortcut for Duplicate in Apple’s Pages progam. What if the end user relies on time-proven features that are simply better for getting work done, features that don’t fit the new iOS religion? I could see command key shortcuts being eliminated, because. One problem is that “making things as they should be” presumes that the target market are teenagers that like Shiny Objects (I like them too, since the iPhone is the most useful phone I have yet used, but I can't get useful work done on my iPhone or iPad, it is just too tediously slow to accomplish basic tasks). Apple has finally moved to address that issue, but the damage was done, forcing many in the video area to start considering alternatives. ![]() Huge investments in training and hardware were thus devalued. Final Cut Pro users know this painfully well, when Apple moved to a “better” product that had no way of opening existing projects. which should make anyone nervous who actually uses their Mac for productive work. Now Apple is surging strongly in the iOS direction. See the in-depth discussion at on 'Mountain Lion'. In my view, 90% of the changes in Lion are useless eye candy (good for marketing), but create their own sticky problems: they degrade the user’s ability to get productive work done. I wrote about the iOS-ificiation of Mac OS X on Feb 6, and how Apple thinks that that a Mac is an iPad or iPhone: It is only a tiny fraction of our users, and most of them run Ubuntu.- SEND FEEDBACK Related: Apple, Apple iOS, Apple iPhone and iPad, Apple macOS, iOS, video We only provide official Linux support for Ubuntu systems. Your device should show up on your account afterwards. These commands will force the configuration interface so you can enter your credentials. Open a terminal and enter the following command: sudo /usr/lib/prey/current/bin/prey config panel Prey version 1.4.1 or lower sudo /usr/lib/prey/current/bin/prey config gui -f Open a terminal and enter the following command: Prey version 1.4.2 and up sudo /usr/local/lib/prey/current/bin/prey config panel Run a Command Prompt as Administrator and enter the following command: C:\Windows\Prey\current\bin\prey config panel A brief command will allow you to force the configuration window, so you can type your credentials and add your device without problems. Oops, I accidentally skipped the configuration window. Just enter your existing or new account credentials and the device will appear on your devices list within a couple of seconds. Any problem with this will be fixed with a clean re-install.Īt the end of the installer, you will be asked if you wish to enter as an existing user or to create a new account. Just open Prey after it was successfully installed and enter your account credentials. Remember your device needs to be connected to internet in order to be added to your account. To complete the device protection, the most important part is to double-check that your device appears on your Prey account, else it will be as bad as if Prey was never installed and we won’t be able to help you if the worst happens. ![]() I've already installed Prey on my device. ![]()
