After upgrading to Lion, the Finder will increase the virtual memory while using external HD

after upgrading to Lion, the Finder will increase the "virtual memory size" while using external HD. I check it using Activity Monitor and found that "Finder" wll increase the "Virtual Memory Size" and "Private Memory Size". and then after a while. the system told me my HD is full and hanging there.
My External HD is 1TB. and I have installed new version Paragon NTFS for Mac V.9.01. I am not sure it is related or not.
but I attached my external HD. the "Finder" will start to increase the "Virtual Memory Size".
please help out this case and solve this issue.
thank you !!!

The one has nothing to do with the other. Virtual memory size and Private memory size are used by developers to analyze their software. it has nothing to do with anything related to the user.

After upgrading to Lion the bookmarks in Preview returns error message.

After upgrading to Lion the bookmarks in Preview returns error message : The File "****" couldn't be opened because you don't have permission to view it. To change the perimssion, select the item in finder and Choose File info. I have bookmarked plenty of files in Preview. How to overcome this error message???

Doesn't work Steve. I think it is an issue with Preview being sandboxed (check the sandbox column in Activity Monitor: Preview = Yes). Sandboxed apps restrict file access to those the user has explicitly selected. My theory is that this causes the unfortunate side effect of bookmarked or linked PDFs not working. A simple test: open a file with bookmarks, manually open the bookmarked file and then select the bookmark in the first file - it should open with no complaints about permissions (which leads to a weak workaround: open all the PDFs you intend to work with!).

ITunes won't sync (after "upgrading" to Lion because my four year old macBook can't use Mtn. Lion) With a little ranting sprinkled in.

I hope someone out there has the expertise to tell me what I am doing wrong. I expect a learning curve from a new Mac operating system, but I don't expect weeks of problem solving and glitches. Lion...well, they won't let me use that word.
Since I "upgraded" to Lion, when I hit "sync" in iTunes on the computer, I get one of three things: 1. Nothing happens, or: 2. A message appears that there is not sufficient room on the Nano for the changes, which is not true, or: 3. It syncs down to next to nothing on the Nano and I have to hit revert.
Sometimes I'm confronted with a screen that wants me to check or uncheck each and every album (but not songs) that I want synced. I have already kept up to date a more specific and complete list of the same sort elsewhere in iTunes: the "Music" list in my itunes "Library." Today I unchecked some songs and checked some others expecting to easily have the corresponding changes made on my iPod, as I have for years. This is the list that I have refined over the years based on new music acquired, my changing tastes, and room left on the iPod. Am I really expected to duplicate this process on another list only to end up with no options for individual songs I do, or do not, want synced? What is the purpose of this exercise?
I finally got it to upgrade to iTunes 10.6.3. I was repeatedly getting a message in iTunes that there was an upgrade available. I would hit upgrade within that mesage in iTunes. It would go through the process of checking for new software and then tell me my software was up to date. (I was running iTunes 10.6 (40).) Software update also told me my software was up to date. I had to go to the Apple site to find and download and install iTunes 10.6.3. The change made no difference to the above problem. I'm not used to screw-ups like this from Apple.
I can't think of a single change in Lion that I like. Not one. I hate the new calendar. I hate the new Safari, and I hate the new Mail. I hate the combination of Google search and the address bar. I hate the way hiting a hot link in Mail opens a new tab in Safari instead of a new window. And the number of hassles and fixes and problems to be solved in the move from Snow Leopard to Lion has been like nothing I have experienced before on a Mac.
An iMac and a laptop are not iOS devices. And iPads and iPhones are not laptops or desktops. To try to merge the operating systems is a major error in my opinion. Thanks for putting up with my rant. I never expected to be so frustrated by a Mac "upgrade." And I've been using Macs a log time. Any advise would be apreaciated.

In lieu of relaxing on Sunday, I've been working on this.
I tried launching Thunderbird (TB) in TB's "Safe Mode". This launches TB like it's being used for the first time - and it didn't crash, which got me hopeful.
So I deleted the TB profile folder and the TB preference file from the ~/Library folder. Then I manually copied them over from my old Mac to my new Mac - figuring that maybe something got damaged by Migration Assistant. After I installed all of the TB files and folders into the right places in my ~/Library folder, I rebooted the Mac (just to be safe) and tried to launch TB - and it crashed upon launching, with essentially the same crash log as shown above.
So it looks like there is something in my TB Profile that Lion doesn't like (but that Snow Leopard was fine with).
Any suggestions for how to find and fix/remove the offending item? Is there something I could search for in the crash log that would point me to the offending item?

How do I retrieve AW 6 documents after upgrading to Lion?

How do I retrieve AW 6 documents after upgrading to Lion?

Find someone who backed up their 10.6 or is still running 10.6 who has Appleworks and Filemaker Pro who will convert the data for you, or if you have a backup, which you should always have when upgrading, downgrade to your backup first, convert the necessary files, then upgrade. See my http://www.macmaps.com/backup.html FAQ* on how to backup if you don't know how.

Fan in overdrive after upgrade to Lion

I have a Powerbook 2.53 Intel Core Duo with 4GB of Ram.
After upgrading to Lion the fan regulary go's in to overdrive. Checked the activity monitor, nothing weird going on.
Also, Lion regulary runs very slow, spinning ball.
I never had these problems before the upgrade.
Any ideas?

Hmmm... the SMC reset usually fixes similar problems (no help to you).
Try running repair disk from yoru software install DVD.

After upgrading to Lion, preview will not print any documents. When selecting "Print" it just hangs with no show of the printing menu.

After upgrading to LION, preview refuses to print out documents to our Ricoh and Canon printers. All other apps work fine with no problems.
Does anyone have similar experience or an answer to resolving this problems.

I had the same problem when attempting to print to my Canon ImageCLASS multifunction laser printer. Canon have acknowledged the problem by saying:
"Cannot print from Preview or TextEdit; causes applications to crash. For PDF documents, Canon recommends that the free version of Acrobat Reader is used."
They go on to say:
"An updated driver for each model will be released as a permanent solution. The driver will be an official driver to support Mac OS X 10.7. The target release schedule is approximately three months after Lion is officially released."
Source:

I've followed their advice and have been using Adobe Reader for viewing and printing PDFs. I'll revert back to the Preview app once the updated drivers become available.

After upgrade to Lion, iPhoto will not save events nor save albums after created.

After upgrade to Lion, iPhoto will not save events nor save albums after created. Once iPhoto is shut down and re-launched, albums and events created no longer exist. How can this be fixed?
Also, when attempting to create cards, iPhoto freezes.

Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one. .

After upgrading to Lion, I went to open Mail and received the message that it needed to upgrade my Mail database - this may take a few minutes. The bar shows it is about 1/5 along and has been there for over 10 hours. Help!

I tried quitting and starting again but it just jumps back to the same spot.

It is quite large, but I have tried two of the fixes suggested and things now seem to be moving along.
(I was unable to seach properly before which is why I posted the question - it was a bit of a panic)

After upgrading to Lion, Preview (5.2.2) appears to have lost the facility to run a slide show by using my mouse to click an icon in the visible menu bar, as I could in the previous version. Can I retrieve that icon and thus that facility?

Unfortunately not. Lion has made many adjustments to the previous system. Try opening your pdfs in keynote.

After upgrading to ios6 my iphone will not open .xls files in emails with the default viewer. Is there a fix for this? The same emailed .xls files still open on my ipad using ios5 while viewing email like they did on my iphone prior to upgrading.

After upgrading to ios6 my iphone will not open .xls files in emails with the default viewer. Is there a fix for this? The same emailed .xls files still open on my ipad using ios5 while viewing email like they did on my iphone prior to upgrading. I have no special software like numbers or anything else installed on either device. Just using the default viewer provided by apple for viewing email.

The attachment is an .xls excel 97-2003 spreadsheet. I viewed the file in the email and did not edit it with any software. I can forward the file to anyone that is may want to check it out to see if they can help me. I was wondering if there was some way of forcing another ios6 install on my phone and maybe that would solve it.
Is there anyone out there that is viewing .xls files in email using ios6 w/o any other software installed like numbers or any other add ons? I am not upgrading my ipad from ios5 to ios6 so I can still continue to view the emails on my ipad. Is there an email viewer .xls plug-in that will be availablle in the next ios6 update?

TS2998 After upgrading to Snow Leopard, Mail will not let me archive any mail. All archived messages re-appear in my inbox (I have tried archiving and placing in the trash bin).

After upgrading to Snow Leopard, Mail will not let me archive any mail. All archived messages re-appear in my inbox (I have tried archiving and placing in the trash bin). How do i regain control of my inbox?

The main differences that can cause a problem are scripting additions (64-bit vs 32-bit and security reasons) and the usage of dates (it is not as forgiving). AppleScript itself is basically the same, so if empty paragraphs are what caused your problems the update would have just been a coincidence.

I have once instlled a kind of antivirus, but i have removed it from programs to trash.
Gotcha, Bingo, Bazinga!
Moving the antivirus to trash does not delete or disable some parts of the application.
How to remove the remaining parts of the application depends on the application as the different AV-Systems place there parts at different places and use different preference files.
At first check if the AV is still listed in the startup items (System Settings - Accounts - your account - startup items) and remove them from that list.

After upgrading to Lion, not able to use Quicken 2007. Get the following message: PowerPC applications are no longer supported. Anyone has a solution?

After upgrading to Lion, not able to use a PowerPC Application (Quicken 2007). Any solution?

Quicken Essentials 2010 has less features than Quciken 2007. Keeping track of investments is one feature I need and Quicken Essentials does not include that function. I may have to consider others financial software, such as iBank4, Money4, iFinance, and Money Well.

After upgrading to Lion, Printer error messages.

After upgrading to Lion, I suddenly see the following error message whenever I print to my HP printer: "You can't open the application PrinterProxy because PowerPC applications are no longer supported." Now, my document will print, but I can no longer adjust settings. Help??

PowerPC applications are no longer supported under Lion. If you can't find Lion drivers on HP's website, you either need to go back to Snow Leopard or start looking for a newer, compatible printer.

After upgrading to lion, cant use TM

After upgrading to lion, I can't see any TM backups, and I do not have access to this external harddrive.
In the TM backup, I can see all backups, but cant activate or use them.
When I click to the external HD, an error message says: "The folder "" cannot be opend, because you do not have permission..."
I tried to solve problem as Apple given on website, but didnot help.
Thanks for help!

I had this same problem after I copied my TM backups from a 500GB TC to a larger external USB drive.
After some work, I finally was able to get the backups from the old TC to show up (in pink) on the new external drive, but still was unable to select/use the backups in pink.
After readings lots of the pondini posts, I saw some things that seem to get me access to the pink timeline items.
First, I read this post. At the beginning of it, it read...
Time Machine keeps the backups for each Mac separate, and normally only shows the ones for the Mac it's running on, even if there are other Macs' backups on the same disk/partition.
Also, sometimes Time Machine will start a new "sequence" of backups, as if they were from a different Mac.
To see these "other" backups, you need the Browse Other Backup Disks or (Browse Other Time Machine Disks) option. It's available by Alt/Option-clicking the Time Machine icon in your Menubar, or by right-clicking the Time Machine icon in your Dock.
At the end of the post (scroll to the blue box at the bottom), this also gave me an strategy...
If you've moved from a network location to local, Time Machine will usually continue backing up to the sparse bundle. But when you
Enter Time Machine, it will be looking for local backups. You'll have to manually mount the sparse bundle by double-clicking it in the Finder before entering Time Machine, and may need the Browse ... option.
These ideas helped me, as I am now able to access the pink backups in the timeline.
