Back to my mac no longer works after upgrading to Lion

Back to my Mac no longer works after upgrading to Lion
After I upgraded my home machines to Lion, I can no longer access them from my work computer, which is running Snow Leopard. When they were both Snow leopard, it worked fine. How can I get them working again? I don't have control over the OS on my work computer. Is it necessary for me to downgrade all of my home computers to Snow leopard in order to get them talking again?
Additionally the binoculars icon appears in the menu bar all of the time. In previous versions, this would only happen when somebody connected to my machine. Could these problems be related?

OK, so further investigation has addressed the BTMM issue on a remote machine.
With all machines running lion, I was having issues trying to log in to a standard user headless machine already running. In Snow Leopard, I had no issues with this since you can log in via screen sharing using an admin login that's running a standard login. Lion allows multiple accounts to be signed in which is handy since you can now run virtual sessions. This means you can admin the remote computer without bothering the remote user.
The problem was that now logging in using admin login brings up the admin account (which makes sense) instead of the desktop to the standard login. I applied a similar solution to a problem that was related to screen sharing I found on this board. What I believe to be the fix is to add the standard user to the screen sharing user list. Then screen share to the remote account using the standard user credentials.
So on the remote computer, in System Settings->Sharing->Screen Sharing, add the standard user to be allowed access. Previously I only had admins. This may not be an ideal solution for what I'm trying to do since the remote computers primary login is the standard user to be used as a common computer, but it now works so I am happy with it.
Now my only "problem" is my AEBS complaining about my MobileMe credentials, but it doesn't appear to have an impact on BTMM performance so I'll quietly wait for a fix down the road.

I have Acrobat 7.0 updated to 7.1.4 which surprising no longer works after upgrading my mac os

I have Acrobat 7.0 updated to 7.1.4 which surprising no longer works after upgrading my mac operating system to OS 10.8.5 (mountain lion), and gives an err message that system no longer supports PPc applications. I guess Acrobat 7 is a PPc application and wanted to know if there is any work-forward here to be able to keep using this product? I didn't see this coming.

There may be parts of it that work if the MAC is anything like the PC. I have been able to get AA 7 to partially work on a Win7, 64-bit machine, but several work-arounds are required. The biggest one is the installation of a PS print driver and such. So, can you open Acrobat and/or Distiller? Do they seem to function? If so, there may be some workarounds. Otherwise you probably need to purchase AA XI. Actually, I would recommend purchasing the newer version anyway -- just trying to give you a picture of what might be possible.
When you say it no longer works it is not clear what you mean. You may need to clarify and also indicated if you have tried repairing the installation and such. I can't say a lot more since I am not really familiar with the MAC.

Script no longer works after Upgrade to 10.4.6

The following script worked fine using 10.4 thru 10.4.5 but no longer works after upgrading to 10.4.6.
When I highlight a folder and then run the script the highlighted folder is moved to a specific "Achive" folder, depending on whether the highlighted folder has a ".0" or ".1" or etc in its name.
When I run the script using 10.4.6 I get an error indicating that the highlighted folder already exists in the destination.
Anyone else having Applescript problems with 10.4.6?

I, too, immediately started having problems with my scripts immediately after updating to OS 10.4.6. I put my scripts in "Library/Applications/..." so that the scripts associated with particular applications are available in the menu bar. I don't know if that has any bearing on the problem, but for me, it was not any particular script, but just about every one that started going funny.
First, I noticed that my scripts would typically work right once, but fail in some odd manner the second time I tried to use one. The second thing I noticed was that the modification dates of my scripts were changing to the time that I last executed the scripts, even though I had not altered and recompiled any of them in weeks. Finally, I noticed that the scripts that were failing were ones in which I had used property statements to initialize some of my variables.
What I think is happening is this: for some strange reason 10.4.6 is recompiling scripts every time they are run, and variables are being initialized, not to the values specified in property statements, but to whatever the variable was the last time the script ended.
I discovered that I could prevent this from happening by (1) recompiling all my scripts to make sure all the property statements were back in effect, and then (2) setting the permissions of all my scripts to read only. This seems to prevent whatever in 10.4.6 is recompiling the scripts from doing this each time the script is run. At least, the modification dates are no longer changing inexplicably, and all my scripts are running reliably again.
It's a bit of a pain to have to remember to reset script permissions to read/write whenever I want to make a change, and then change them back to read only before executing, but it seems to be a reliable workaround. I'd appreciate hearing if anyone else can replicate this phenomenon, or tell me if I'm on the right track.

On 2011 iMac, External Altec Lansing speakers no longer work after upgrading to Mountain Lion. They DO work on a lenovo machine but not my imac

On 2011 iMac, External Altec Lansing speakers no longer work after upgrading to Mountain Lion.
They DO work on a lenovo machine but not my iMac. reset Pram - no luck. took speakers from wife's desktop, they
do not work when jack plugged into my iMac - Sys Prefs "SOUND" only lists "internal speakers/ built in" as available options.
I used my altec lansing speakers on 3 macs including this one for 5-6 years.....now with Mountian Lion I can only get internal speakers???
Ideas? Any/All help would be greatly appreciated - been going nuts with this for 2 days now.

Hi,
When you start Messages fro the first time you are asked for an Apple ID
When this is verified and entered it appears in Messages Menu > Preference > Accounts and is Enabled.
The App should have also picked on on those iChat Accounst you had before.
These should be Enabled if they were when you last used iChat.
Exactly which "Accounts" are logged in can be seen in Message Menu > Accounts and will include the iMessage "Account" and Bonjour.
In the Window menu you will see CMD +0 for the Messages window and CMD+1 for the "Buddies" window which is a combined list at this stage.
Go to the Preferences > General Section and Untick the "Collect all accounts into one list".
This will give you separate iChat type Buddy lists.
You can check if that account/Buddy list is set to Invisible or if in the Preferences > Accounts > Security you have settings that will block some people from seeing you as On line.
You are saying Buddies can see you as On Line which implies they are still sending to your AIM based Names (@Mac.com is a valid AIM Screen Name)
I am not sure from your post if you are trying to iMessage their email IDs thinking they are Apple IDs and that they are using Messages as well.
There is no Buddy list for iMessages side
No-one can tell you are "On Line" until they have your details in the "To" spot in Messages with the correct iMessaged contact info (iPhone Number or Apple ID)
Obviously an Apple ID can be an email or look like one.
In some cases they are also valid AIM Screen Names as well.
In the case or the @mac.com name you may have linked this Apple ID to iMessages as well.

Many of my System Preferences will no longer work after installing Mountain Lion. Software update, startup disk, iCloud, etc. no longer will launch. I keep getting a drop down window saying I must restart system preferences in order to use. No go!

Many of my System Preferences will no longer work after installing Mountain Lion. Software Update, Startup Disk, iCloud, Time Machine, Notifications, etc. no longer will launch even though they do show their icons in the system preferences window. I keep getting a drop down window saying I must restart system preferences in order to use with a "Cancel" or "OK" choice. After I click on "OK" the window just keeps reappearing with the same choices and the pane I wish to use still remains inoperative. Third party preference panes DO work.
Reinstalling OSX Mountain Lion did not help. Neither did throwing away preferences.plist.

Hi Jeff,
Tried to reply with my iPhone but not easy! Anyway, back on the laptop now. Yes the crash was bad but Tek support at Prism Sound was really good. In the end I rebuilt the whole system on a new disk which took a couple of days with all the plugins, softsynths etc.... but there seemed to be no alternative in my case, and this was agreed with Prism sound as being the only alternative left to me. I still don't really know what caused the crash but ML and Orpheus are both working fine now. Let's face it, you'll have to update at sometime..maybe best to pick some time between projects On balance, I suspect that my problems were unique to my system and that your installation will go ok.
Hope it goes well,
Rick

Some USB ports no longer working after installing Mountain Lion?

Some of my USB ports are no longer working after installing Mountain Lion onto my 21' 2011 iMac. I used to plug in my iphone 4S and charge it, or transfer files onto my iPad but none of the ports no longer work to do this. Funnily enough, other equipment plugged into the works. I have tried changing the cable. Any ideas?

In my experience, the USB ports on the back of an Apple monitor can be re-enabled simply by unplugging and plugging back in the device in question. You might also check to see that the USB Monitor hub shows up in System Profiler. My Apple monitor USB ports experienced no changes in moving to 10.4.7.

The button's broken. S**t happens. Apple will replace your phone. If in waranty it will be free of charge. If not, you will pay $149.
You can elect to have it repaired at a 3rd party shop near you if you choose, but this will void all warranty if there's any left.

Why are the back/forwards buttons no longer working after upgrade?

Hi, I recently upgraded from Firefox 3.5 (I believe) to Firefox 4.0.1 and now the back and forwards buttons no longer work. I tried resetting the settings under the toolbars > customize, etc. That didn't work. FYI, I'm using a mac. Any solutions? Thanks in advance...

A possible cause is a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.

So to be clear you have Done both the Mofcomp and Added the correct account to the Windows Authorization Access Group?
What is version of SQL are you using?
Is SSRS remote or local to CM12?
What service account are you using for SSRS?
Bases on the error message you are getting this within the console, Does the native SSRS report work? BTW I never recommend accessing the report via the console.

Basic applications no longer work after "upgrade"

Why won't Java work anymore after "upgrading" to Lion 10.7.3? Also, why even after I set up Safari to open with the homepage does it always open with the same page instead? Very irritating.

repairs even if they say successul should just let you retrieve and backup data you don't have.
you should always have an image of your drives, a system you can restore from.
That and keep all data away from the boot drive which should be OS and apps -- only - no data.
Do a clean install with another freshly initialized drive.
Use Setup Assistant from your old drive - maybe - but try to install as much as possible from master copies and that you trust.

My printer (HP Laserjet 2100) is no longer working after upgrading

My printer (HP Laserjet 2100) is no longer working after the upgrade; it just spits out page after page of error codes and blank pages. I've tried using both the HP driver and a generic driver. This is being accessed over a network. Has anyone encountered this problem after upgrading from Lion?

Hi,
Make sure to install the latest HP Printer Drivers 2.11 update as it should resolve a Postscript printing issue and I believe it will resolve the problem.
You may do so by clicking the Apple icon and then Software Update, you should see the update listed.
For any further issue go to Library\Printers and remove the HP folder, then download and install the following package:

Hope it helps,

I finally figured out what was the problem. The disk utility tool found an error in the backup disk and fixed it. I guess some error occurred while the upgrade to Lion was on the way.
