Just upgraded my Mac laptop to Lion to take advantage of iCloud, spent hours trying to get iCloud to work, not happy, tried everything still does not work, this is the first time i have been defeated.

The initial upgrade from Snow Leopard to Lion is 10.7.1. Have you done the system update to 10.7.2 already?
And since there isn't any general overview of what you've tried, see if anything at this site will help" http://help.apple.com/icloud/index.html#

I just upgraded my mac to Mountain Lion and turned on iCloud. Now all of the music stored on my mac shows up on my iphone. My question is, if I listen to this music on my iphone am I using up my data plan?

I just upgraded my mac with Mountain Lion and turned on iCloud. Now all of the music stored on my mac shows up on my iphone. My question is, if I listen to this music on my iphone am I using up my data plan?

No, if you are using the Music app you are playing them on your iPhone.

Just upgraded to Mac Lion... can't access Appleworks6...get this message... "You can't open the application AppleWorks 6 because PowerPC applications are no longer supported".... I've got dozens of documents saved that I can't access?!!!!!

Rosetta is not included Lion, if you are not familiar with Rosetta it was an application included in Tiger, Leopard and Snow Leopard that allowed PPC based apps to run on Intel based machines. That was over 5 years ago so it's time to move on. As has been suggested you can read those documents in Pages which is available on the App Store. Pages is part of the iWorks suite that replaced AppleWorks years ago. Currently iWorks is on iWorks 09 , and includes Pages, Numbers and Keynote. You can find each on the App store.

I just upgraded to Mac OSX Lion and can't attach documents to my hotmail. Can anyone help?

I just upgraded to Mac OSX Lion and can't attach documents to my hotmail. Can anyone help?

Hi there,
Over the last few days, this issue has been driving me up the wall too!
I downloaded Lion OS a few months ago, but it was only until a few days ago did i attempt to logon to Hotmail to check my account & send an email with an attachment.
Normally i use the MAC Mail app, which is synchronised to my hotmail account.
Anyway, I'm not sure whether the Lion OS is the root cause of the issue, however after much digging around on various forums - the issue for me was resolved by downloading the latest version of Microsoft Silverlight 5 (www.microsoft.com/silverlight). Its a free download....

If I upgrade to Mac OS X Lion will I lose Applications/Documents/etc.

I was wondering if I upgrade to Mac OS X Lion tomorrow, will my applications and all the documents that are saved on my computer be there after the upgrade? I do not have money to buy an external hard drive right now to do the back up, so will I be safe without it?

Hi,
Look at it this way...
If you have a Backup and (for whatever reason) Something goes Horrible Wrong.. You have Lost Nothing...
Without a Backup... You could Lose Everything....
Not a Nice Thought At All...
So take all the Advice already Offered and Backup... Backup... Backup...
And then Upgrade your OS...
Just my 2 cents worth...
Cheers,

I just upgraded my mac book pro to snow leopard, now my I photo library dissappeared

I am a novice in all things technical and I need some help figuring out my I photo library. I bought my Mac Book Pro in 2009 and shared/transferred all information from my G5 (2004) to my laptop. I Photo was also transferred and I have started to add more photos to this laptop.
I just upgraded my mac Book Pro to Snow Leopard and now when I open my Iphoto library it shows some of the library but now all. My husband said it is still there but the system is not able to look in the right place due to the sharing...so I am totaly confused?????
WHen I go to the Information it syas it is Where: /users/shared
Under sharing and permission it says: You have custom access
vivianlie read and Write (but this is in light gray)
Everyone (also in light gray)
NOW: My old and faithful G5 all of a sudden is telling me this morning that in order to open I photo I
need to upgrade to work with this verion of I photo
Your photo library will not be readable by previous versions of I photo after the upgrade.
What should I do now?
Thanks so much for any tips and ideas...

On you MBP try the three fixes below in order as needed:
Fix #1
1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your Home/Library/Preferences folder.
2 - delete iPhoto's cache files that are located in your Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder.
3 - reboot, launch iPhoto and try again.
NOTE: If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding the the Option key. You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences.
Fix #2
Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys depressed and follow the instructions to rebuild the library.
Select the options identified in the screenshot.
Fix #3
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option
In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
Click on the Create button.
Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.
On your G5 make a temporary, duplicate copy of the library and run the same 3 fixes.

Upgrade my mac ox to lion

how can i upgrade my mac ox to lion. Also i want to know if i upgrade my ox, the application that i have installed will remain there or i want to reinstall it. I was using Adobe CS5 master collection & Autocad 2011 mainy on my mac.

"how can i upgrade my mac ox to lion."
Using the App Store which should be in your dock because you are presently running OS 10.6.6 or higher (are you?) pay for and download the Lion installer.
"if i upgrade my ox, the application that i have installed will remain there..."
They should. That said you have a back up plan no doubt just incase?
"I was using Adobe CS5 master collection & Autocad 2011 mainy on my mac."
CS5 runs in Lion but AutoCad may have some problems check all third party apps with their respective vendor. And when you post do include information about your Mac. If it is not a core 2 duo you won't be installing Lion.

The only problem that I forsee is that some have reported problems getting machine-specific builds of Lion via Internet Recovery. Not sure if it's working yet or not. But you could give it a shot, I suppose. Basically what you want to do is 'prepare your computer for resale' - just like it came out of the box. Kappy, a pretty wonderful and very knowledgeable man, has tip for that which I have copied and will paste below:
Boot to the Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Erase the hard drive:
    1.    Select Disk Utility from the main menu and click on the Continue button.
    2.    After DU loads select your startup volume (usually Macintosh HD) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
    3.    Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Erase button and wait until the process has completed.
    4.    Quit DU and return to the main menu.
Reinstall Lion: Select Reinstall Lion and click on the Install button.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.
Good luck,
Clinton

I just upgraded my mac book to 10.6.8 and downloaded the new version of itunes. When I try to open it and error message appears saying, "The iTunes Library file cannot be found or created. The default location for this file is in the "iTunes" folder.

I just upgraded my mac book to 10.6.8 and downloaded the new version of itunes. When I try to open it and error message appears saying, "The iTunes Library file cannot be found or created. The default location for this file is in the "iTunes" folder in the "Music" folder."
I have tried a few things but iTunes closes right after i click okay. Anyone know anything?

Look in your Home > Music folder. There should be an iTunes folder there and it should have a number of files and folders including one called library.itl You want to guide iTunes to that file. If you don't see that file or folder then in your next post you will have to be very specific as to what you do see or how you have your iTunes set up because that's where it should be according to default settings.

Problems Problems after upgrading to Mac OS X Lion

I upgraded my mac os to Lion last week on my Mac air. After loading, my norton could not work probably. Then last night, files in my start up disk doubled and hence error appeared - that my disk is full while I only used 50% of the storage capacity.
This morning my iphone 4 also appeared to be have the SMS messages and photos and every files also appeared to duplicate itself.
Can anyone assist ?

After loading, my norton could not work probably.
Does Norton ever work properly?
Norton is a known troublemaker, and most likely the version you have is incompatible with Lion. You could try updating Norton, but personally, that's one I'd remove immediately and never come near again. If you feel you need AV software on your Mac, the only thing I would recommend wholeheartedly is ClamXav. Sophos' free home AV software would be my second choice, though with some reservations, as I've heard of people having problems with it.
As to the doubling files problem... can you describe more precisely what you're seeing? I've never heard of such a problem before.

I have Adobe Photoshop CS4 and have just upgraded my Mac operating system to Yosemite with the newest version of Java 2014 running. When I try to access Photoshop from Bridge or directly open it asks for a Legacy Version of Java 6. As I am a pensioner I cannot afford an upgrade does anyone know of a work-around for this problem?

Hi Daddyfred,
CS4 Photoshop has not been tested on Yosemite. But still you can try the Java 6 update using the below link.

My Safari browser won't open. I had upgraded to Mac OS X Lion. What do I do?

My iMac is 2008 built. In March 2012, I upgraded to Mac OS X Lion. Since then I had problems after problems. Since the computer was getting slower and slower, I thought the Prosoft Drive Genious 3 would be useful. When I installed it on iMac, it caused more problems. I removed the Prosoft Drive Genius 3 from the internal iMac hard drive and tried to install it on an external drive.
Now I can't access Safari. It doesn't open. I had to download Mozilla Firefox browser. I don't see any links on Apple site for the latest Safari browser for Mac. What do I do to download Safari.

Thank you very much for your email and the post. I copied the segments of the crash report from the Console and pasted and edited in the TextEdit. I don't know what shutdownStall etc is.

If the dialogue appeared once, and you cancelled once, the dialogue may reappear when you next log in. For more certainty I suggest a restart of the operating system, then a log in.
If you like: immediately after the problem is worked around, open the Console utility to see whether — amongst its view of all messages — there is an obvious sign of what caused the dialogue to appear. (If you see nothing obvious, don't waste too much time looking.)
