Sound volume problem after upgraded to Lion Mac OS X 10.7? Any help?

I have just upgrade to 10.7 Lion last night. Whenever I change the volume, no matter by pressing the volume up or down button on the keyboard, or using the mouse to change the volume on the top bar, the computer hangs for a while, with no sound, for a few seconds, the youtube video reset or hang, even the Safari hangs for a few seconds.
Anyone has the same problem? Any fix on this?

Another thread suggested this fix see screens
Removal of the following files
~/Library/Preferences/Audio/*.plist
~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.soundpref.plist
This is a possibility for a fix.

Printer Problems after upgrade to Lion

Does anyone have this printer problem after upgrading to Lion. A perfectly functioning laser printer on my network prior to upgrade - now the network seems to drop the printer and show it as "not connected" approximately every 30 minutes ???

Hi Paul,
Been away and just got back to this issue.
Thanks for the info. The OKI site has now posted a list of all their Printers and their relative drivers for compatibility with "Lion". My machine is due an updated driver from OKI in Mid Decmber according to this notice.
Meanwhile, as the printer does work with some tweaking I guess I will use the work around until the new driver is available. My legacy printers that i use for special jobs both work and as I do not have the disks for their drivers I am loathe to re-set the printer system at this time.
Thanks for your assistance in this issue.
Regards,
Mike, Rustington.

Problem after upgrading to Lion

I have a Beyonwiz PVR. I have it connected to my iMac via an ethernet cable. I have never had a problem accessing my computer from the Wiz and being able to watch movies stored on my hard drive. After upgrading my iMac to Lion I now find that my Wiz no longer detects my PC??? I have not changed any settings on the Wiz and file sharing is set up on my iMac.
Any ideas??? This is clearly as a result of upgrading to Lion as it worked perfectly well before.

can anyone explain why this may be happening?

Sleep problem after upgrading to Lion

I have a late 2009 MBP with 2 user accounts setup. I normally log out of my user account and then close lid which puts it in sleep with the indicator light blinking. Now after updating to Lion, it doesn't seem to go to sleep, the light is constantly on and it is gets very warm. I don't have any external monitor attached or anything else. I just tried leaving lid open and choosing "sleep" from login screen, that seems to work right but I don't like to have the lid open. Now with the computer at sleep with lid open, closing lid will do the same as above. Any ideas?

First do this:
Reinstalling Lion Without the Installer
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. Alterhatively, 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.
Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the main menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu.
Reinstall Lion: Select Reinstall Lion and click on the Continue button.
Note: You can also re-download the Lion installer by opening the App Store application. Hold down the OPTION key and click on the Purchases icon in the toolbar. You should now see an active Install button to the right of your Lion purchase entry. There are situations in which this will not work. For example, if you are already booted into the Lion you originally purchased with your Apple ID or if an instance of the Lion installer is located anywhere on your computer.
Second, update to 10.7.1 via Software Update or direct download - Apple OS X Lion 10.7.1.

Since upgrading to Lion, I am having problems getting accurate colors to print with my Epson Stylus Pro 3880. I have the latest printer driver, and my screen is calibrated. I would appreciate any ideas of what to do.

'Mouse' problems after upgrading to Lion

Hi there,
I use the two side buttons on my mouse to expose all windows (ie when I 'squeeze' the mouse it performs this function).
However since upgrading to 10.7 Lion my mouse no longer does this and trying to correct and apply these settings again in Preferences still doesn't fix it.
Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

Hello:
If I understand your issue, the F3 key will do what you wish.
Barry
P.S. The magic mouse has no such buttons...unlike the old mighty mouse.

After upgrading to Lion, Mac MAIL won't import address book!!

After a LONG download of the Lion upgrade, I find that I can't import my old address list from Mac MAIL. Anybody have this problem? Also can't setup any email accounts in Mac MAIL, manually or by import. This was no problem at all with SL.

Robert,
vCard is a sort of standard that can be used in many addressbook-like applications.
Exactly how do you attach them?
Do you export the vcards from AB and then send them as attachment in Mail?
They should be included inyour mail without problem, and on the receiving end, when they have a program that support vCards, they should have no problem importing them.
Mail does it almost automatically, just double clicking will send it to your AB.
.MAc will not think it is a virus.
Do you have just address data in there or do you have something in the Notes field that messed it up?

Is anybody have problem after upgrading mountain lion to 10.8.2?

I have a macbook pro with 16 meg ram
I have a new problem since I upgrade to mountain lion 10.8.2 : My computer freeze and the only way to make it works is to reboot.
Is someone have this same problem?
Any information about that?
Thanks
Pierre

I'm a similar issue, but mine freezes up on almost any program and can't really see a constant reason why. I'm going to try the combo updates as sig suggested to see if that helps.

Problem with Dreamweaver CS4 after upgrade to Lion

I am having a problem after upgrading to Lion, with my Dreamweaver CS4 . When I try to use the bold button the text completely dissapears from the screen in design view The text is still there as it shows up in preview and also shows up in code view. Has anyone else had similar problems since the upgrade? and is there going to be a fix for it.

I can't hear sound after upgrading to lion

I have this little annoying problem with my iMac after upgrading to Lion OSX. After waking up my iMac I can't hear any sound from internal speakers, ie: only video on Youtube, but no sound, but whilst pressing volume up/down button I can hear beep. When it happens So I have to restart system everytime it happens. Anyone any ideas or maybe someone out there has the same problem?

I'he double checked everything, only 1 output device (internal speakers). As I said before, it is weird because I can play iTunes and can hear "beep", but neither youtube sound, nor game sound or internet radio seems to be working, no sound whatsoever. But this time system didn't go to sleep, it has just happened suddenly.... Restart again then!

Problem with colors after upgrading to Lion

After upgrading to Lion, I could no longer distinguish between very light greys (e.g., #f8f8f8) and white (#ffffff) on my laptop monitor. The difference is readily apparent on many websites.
If I plug my laptop into an external monitor, the problem goes away, and stays away even AFTER unplugging it.
Neither recalibrating the color profile nor rebooting have any effect.
Any ideas?

iPhoto is not part of Lion. It comes with a Mac. So, the version you own is the one that came with your Mac. If you want the newest version, you'll have to purchase it from the App Store.

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.

Significant slowdown of Time Machine after upgrade to Lion; indexing problem

After upgrading to Lion over the weekend I notice a significant slowdown of Time Machine processing. I assumed the first backup or two would take some time but it's been a couple of days. The process always hangs up at the "Indexing backup" stage. It takes a couple of hours to finish.
I found several threads relating to slowed down backups on Lion, most seem to hang at the "Preparing" stage (not the same symptom) but I did find some good diagnostic pointers. I installed the widget to see what kind of messages were being produced and found a few dozen "Waiting for index to be ready (100)" messages at the end of the stream. Further research - this is not a good thing :-) It seems a couple of such messages can be ok, but this many usually indicates a problem. I'm going to discount the possibility of a hardware failure because everything was perfectly fine up to the point I made the upgrade. Plus the prepare and copy seem to proceed at the expected speed (I watched the most recent cycle just to be sure).
Here is the full message log (it's still running at the moment):

I further found the advice and instructions on how to run the disk utility on the sparsebundle. I did a verify and repair, and the results came back that the drive appears to be ok (it did not say that it explicitly repaired anything).
But the problem remains.
I use a 1TB Time Capsule with plenty of free capacity (only half full). The TC and my MacBook are both hardwired into the home network, networking speed has never been an issue.
I'd sure hate to delete the backup file and start from scratch, there's over a year's worth of data there and I have, occassionally, wanted to go in there and pick up a downlevel or subsequently deleted file.
Any advice on other diagnostics or repair options to take? Thanks!
Paul

After posting I decided to keep trying to slog my way through the troubleshooting guide. Some of the steps are beyond my understanding but I did follow the advice in #D2 to delete the .Spotlight-V100 file from the sparsebundle. That action does seem to have done the trick, the backups are now completing in normal time. I ran a couple just to be sure. I've verified the backups with BackupLoupe and entered the Time Machine, all appears to be in order and as expected. The only odd side effect is that the backup volume is no longer ejected after completion but that might just be an artifact of all my mounting/de-mounting and playing with Finder. Anyway a very small price to pay for what looks to be a working system again.
Hopefully the good behavior will last through a few days and a few reboots :-)

Problems with extrenal drive after upgrade to Lion

Hello,
after upgrading to Lion last week I am experiencing some problems with my LaCie 1 TB FireWire (800) external drive.
The problem is not that big however. When I delete files on the external drive they do not appear in the Trash Bin.
However when I unmount and again mount the partitions using the Disk Utility the deleted files do appear in the
Trash Bin. The external drive has 3 partitions: 2 X Mac OS X Journaled and one FAT. The above described problem
appers on all partitions. I performed repair and verify to all partitions but Disk Utility says that everything is OK! Any idea ?
P.S. With Snow Leopard I have never experienced such problem.
Thank you!

DiskWarrior is on
Step 5: Locating directory date...
Speed reduced by disk malfunction: 339,474, er make that 340,239, er make that 341,327....
should I stop it or keep going??!!!!
