Problem with Trackpad on OSX Lion

I just downloaded the OSX Lion. After 5 miutes of enjoying the new features, I undesrstood that I can't open the files on my desktop with 2 clicks. The same goes for my documents. I have to click 3 times in order to run them. All my work is on this computer and to be honest clicking 3 times to run something slows it down.
Does anyone know how I can fix this or change it back to 2 clicks?

Do you have the Magic Trackpad, or some other brand?
In either case, open System Preferences/Trackpad, and view the options at your disposal. Make sure everything is checked. You can vary the gestures by checking the boxes.

Problems with Boot Camp, OSX Lion Server 10.7.3, and Windows 7

My new Mac Mini Server is running OSX Lion Server 10.7.3. I want to install Windows 7 as a dual boot. I start up Boot Camp and use an ISO image to create a USB boot disk. I don't seem to be able to use the DVD to install, so I use an ISO image on disk. I continue with the Boot Camp installation, with all three options on the main screen checked. When I get to the part where I have to pick a partition on which to install, the only one I can select, and must format, is the partition labeled BOOTCAMP. But the Boot Camp support software Windows is installed there. I can continue with the Windows installation, and boot into Windows 7 with no problem. But since the Boot Camp drivers were wiped out, I cannot connect to the network, etc. I don't have a Boot Camp control panel either.I did this once before on my other Mac Mini Server I have, running the same OSX Lion Server 10.7.3, and it worked without a problem. I'm writing this message on that copy of Windows. But this new install just will not work, after two days of trying. I *must* get this working. I'm stumped.
CAN ANYONE HELP ??? TIA !!!!

First, this is re-post of your other thread.
Your driverrs were not and will not be "wiped out."
Run Boot Camp Assistant. Download the drivers
Your profile says Lion so that will let you store drivers on flash memory card.
They are never placed where Boot Camp created a partition.

How do I sync iMessage on iOS with Messages on OSX Lion?

This morning, an Update for Messages on OSX was announced.
I just downloaded the Beta and it is running quite well.
There is one last question!
How do you sync iMessage on iOS with Messages on OSX Lion.
Example:
I'm texting with Jana on my Mac - but I can't see this conversation on my iPhone / iPad even tho´ the email adress is added in my "iMessages-Settings" on iPhone/iPad.
I also can't start a conversation on my iOS devices and continue them on my Mac.
Anybody out there knowing what to do?
Best regards from Germany.
Andreas

Hi,
I contacted my son on his iPhone by his number.
He did not have his email linked to his Apple ID
When he did that he could message me with that ID rather then the phone number.

Any idea when the MacBook Pro will come with the new OSX Lion?

Does anyone have a clue as to when the MacBook Pro will come installed with the new OSX Lion? In the market for a new Mac laptop but would prefer waiting for the Pro to come with the new system alreayd installed.
Thanks

If you order on-line it will ship with Lion.
Local retail stores vary according to their inventory, more than likely the have Lion ready MBP. Call and ask.

Partition problem with Win 7 and Lion

I have a 2011 Mac Mini with two hard drives - the original 500GB drive and a SSD.   The SSD is laid out as follows:
$ diskutil list
/dev/disk0
   #:                       TYPE NAME                    SIZE       IDENTIFIER
   0:      GUID_partition_scheme                        *60.0 GB    disk0
   1:                        EFI                         209.7 MB   disk0s1
   2:                  Apple_HFS OSX Lion SSD            19.0 GB    disk0s2
   3:                 Apple_Boot Recovery HD             650.0 MB   disk0s3
   4:       Microsoft Basic Data BOOTCAMP W7             40.2 GB    disk0s4
It has my two bootable operating systems and works fine (for now) so I am happy to leave it alone.
The problem is with the second drive. It has:
1) EFI partition 200M
2) Original Lion install 40G HFS+
3) Original recovery partition 650M
4) Space set aside for OSX HFS+ 160G (has some big files in it)
5) Space set aside for Windows NTFS 300G (no files in it yet)
I think there is a problem with MBR vs GPT and Disk Utility vs Disk Management.
Disk Utility or fdisk calls it
/dev/disk1
   #:                       TYPE NAME                    SIZE       IDENTIFIER
   0:      GUID_partition_scheme                        *500.1 GB   disk1
   1:                        EFI                         209.7 MB   disk1s1
   2:       Microsoft Basic Data                         37.6 GB    disk1s2 (these entries are wrong)
   3:       Microsoft Basic Data                         650.0 MB   disk1s3
   4:       Microsoft Basic Data                         161.5 GB   disk1s4
   5:       Microsoft Basic Data NTFS stuff              300.1 GB   disk1s5 (this entry seems right)
and I cannot access the partitions in Lion.
Gdisk calls it:
GPT fdisk (gdisk) version 0.8.1
Partition table scan:
MBR: hybrid
BSD: not present
APM: not present
GPT: present
Found valid GPT with hybrid MBR; using GPT.
Disk /dev/disk1: 976773168 sectors, 465.8 GiB
Logical sector size: 512 bytes
Disk identifier (GUID): 0000303E-4D40-0000-1B4C-0000F9090000
Partition table holds up to 128 entries
First usable sector is 34, last usable sector is 976773134
Partitions will be aligned on 8-sector boundaries
Total free space is 2061 sectors (1.0 MiB)
Number Start (sector)    End (sector) Size       Code Name

   4        75170456       390588423   150.4 GiB   0700 stuff
   5       390590464       976773119   279.5 GiB   0700 Basic data partition (name is wrong)
Windows Disk Management is happy to see inside the HFS partitions, so I know all my files are at least still there. I had a 5th NTFS partition formatted, but upon going into Lion and back, it disappeared.
I think ideally what I would like to have is a spare Lion + recovery partition on this drive in case my SSD barfs, then a big NTFS partition to hold my Windows files. I guess merging the 40G OSX and 160G HFS+ partitions will be ok. Could the problem be related to MBR having a limit of 4 partitions? There isn't any data on this drive that isn't backed up, but I would rather do this partition fixing shuffle without having to restore big files. Any suggestions on how to proceed?

I managed to fix the problem. First I used Disk Utility to delete the NTFS partition. It hung during the process, so I quit it, and the partition was deleted anyway. Next, I used gdisk to change the partition type from 0700 to AF00 and AB00 for the Lion and Recovery partitions respectively. It worked and I can access the partitions under OSX again. Thanks, everybody, you've been super helpful.

PROBLEMS WITH JAMVOX AND MOUNTAIN LION ?

I USE THE JAMVOX GUITAR INTERFACE WITH MY MACBOOK PRO. EVERYTHING WAS WORKING HUNKY DORY AFTER UPGRADING TO MOUNTAIN LION...BUT THEN, AFTER ABOUT THREE WEEKS, IT JUST STOPPED WORKING. EVERY TIME I TRY TO START THE PROGRAM NOW, GET THE SPINNING MAC "WAIT" BALL. IM SEEING ON VOX'S WEBSITE THAT OTHERS ARE ALSO HAVING SIMILAR PROBLEMS. HAS ANYONE FIGURED OUT A WORK AROUND ? MANY THANKS FOR THE HELP.

I am truly disappointed in the new operating system, is there anyway to switch back to OSX Lion and perhaps get my money back?
Why do you think that is the normal performance for Mountain Lion?
First thing to try is boot into Safe Mode by holding down the Shift key on restart.
It will take a little while to boot as it runs some disk checks. Once it is done, it will show the login screen. Log in and try it out. If everything seems normal, you likely have some third-party software that is incompatible with ML.
If it is still messed up, boot into the Recovery HD (cmd-r on restart) and Repair the disk using Disk Utility.
Restart and see if there are still problems.
If so, I would reinstall ML and see if that fixes the issues.

Problem with Mac OS X Lion 10.7.5, the mac goes crazy!

I have a problem with mi imac g5 Mac OS X Lion 10.7.5 (11G63) bought the last year.
During the last week the system are wrong because when I open a aplication like itunes, illustrator or another one like a simple navigator "Firefox", somethimes this goes crazy, the keyboard write diferent and the finder folder open and close really really slow, and sometimes not even that, and everything goes bad, so I have to close the session or to restart the computer, I already reinstall the software, but nothing goes better It´s the same...It`s really maddening because in the 5 hours more or less I have to restart 4 times! depend of the day...
I reed that The software Lion and Mountain Lion have many mistakes, it`s really?maybe it`s one of them?
Anyone have the same problem? Maybe I have to restart again all the computer with all the programs? Or someone Knows with is the problem and the answer?
Thanks a lot!
I hope you understand me...

Is OSX Lion not the same as OSX Mountain Lion?
Correct. You would need to upgrade to Mountain Lion to be able to utilitize AirPlay with your Apple TV.
Make sure your Mac can run Mountain Lion > System requirements for OS X Mountain Lion
Moutain Lion can be purchased from the Mac App Store - OS X Mountain Lion for $19.99 (U.S.)
A good way to discern one OS X from another is the version number.
Lion   OS X v10.7
Mountain Lion   OS X v10.8
To see which version your Mac has installed, click the Apple menu icon top left in your screen. From the drop down menu click About This Mac.

Is anyone having issues with trackpad after install lion?

Since I have installed Lion(clean install from flashdrive) my track pad makes me "click" and hold to move windows around. I use to be able to just "tap" without fully compressing the trackpad. Is anyone else having this issue?
Thanks

I've noticed peculiarities with the trackpad on both Mac laptops as well as the Magic Trackpad on our home iMac since updating to Lion.
The biggest one is random right-click only where it seems the touchpad gets stuck in right-click mode. The only way to stop it is to "tap" rather than click and it seems to fix it. Otherwise, I've not had problems with dragging or anything.
What you may try is turning the option off/on again in Trackpad under System Preferences that is giving you problems. I had this problem on our home iMac with the Magic Trackpad with three-finger drag. Works fine now.

problems with trackpad

Another possibility is that your trackpad is behaving erratically because of battery expansion. If you have one of the MacBooks with an easily removeable battery you can test for this by shutting down, removing the battery, connecting to your AC power adapter and starting up the MacBook. Test the trackpad.
Examine your battery for signs of expansion. If this is the case, replace the battery.
Best of luck.

Problems with share screen in lion

Hello
I have had problems with share screen since i have installed Lion. I can't share screen even inside the Lan, between Macs and between Mac and Iphone. It's like Lion would had some port block in any hidden place. Anyone knows something about it?

FINALLY! Got Screen Sharing to work! REPLACE ARDAgent (v3.5.1) with the older v3.4
Instructions by tchaga:
1. Download ARD 3.4 (http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1350 RemoteDesktopClient.dmg), mount it, look inside the package/Contents, copy the Archive.pax.gz to the desktop
2. Expand the Archive.pax.gz and navigate inside the resulting folder Archive to /System/Library/CoreServices/RemoteManagement
3. Navigate to the same folder at the root of your HD (i.e. HD/System/Library/CoreServices/RemoteManagement)
4. Copy ARDAgent from your HD/System/Library/CoreServices/RemoteManagement to the Desktop and then delete it from the HD/System/Library/CoreServices/RemoteManagement folder (you need admin password).
5. Copy ARDAgent from Archive/System/Library/CoreServices/RemoteManagement to HD/System/Library/CoreServices/RemoteManagement (you need admin password again).
6. Restart

Hello, Gonzalo andres.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
I had an issue with this after upgrading to OS X 10.9. I would verify that the gestures have been configured in System Preferences > Trackpad > Scroll & Zoom/More Gestures.

Problems with iWeb, after installing Lion

Hi,
Ever since I installed Lion, I have been having problems with iWeb. Any changes I make in iWeb, and then publish to my site, via mobileme, are not saved, and the site reverts to the orignial site, after closing the website, and iWeb also loses the cahnges. I am unable to sue the Publish Site button, and the option for Publish Site changes is not available.
I am using iLife 11.
These problems have only occurred since I installed Lion.
Any help greatly appreciated.
Nozza

In Lion the Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and hit the Enter button - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.
For opening your domain file in Lion or to switch between multiple domain files Cyclosaurus has provided us with the following script that you can make into an Applescript application with Script Editor. Open Script Editor, copy and paste the script below into Script Editor's window and save as an application.
do shell script "/usr/bin/defaults write com.apple.iWeb iWebDefaultsDocumentPath -boolean no"delay 1
tell application "iWeb" to activate
Just launch the application, find and select the domain file you want to open and it will open with iWeb. It modifies the iWeb preference file each time it's launched so one can switch between domain files.
You can download an already compiled version with this link: iWeb Switch Domain.
WARNING: iWeb Switch Domain will overwrite an existing Domain.sites2 file if you select to create a new domain in the same folder. So rename your domain files once they've been created to something other than the default name.
