Why Lion makes the wheel go round

Surely somone at Apple owns a Macbook
and ran it for a month before launching and
thought
"No I wont  launch as there are serious issues
with overheating and the battery life halfs"
I guess not
The wheel goes round but the Hamster is not home

While I do not work for Apple, none in my home have had any issues with Lion on any of our Macs (notebooks and desktop alike)

  • Please help my iMac will not start. The apple logo comes up and the wheel goes round and then I am left with an empty white sceen can anyone help

    Please help, my iMac will not start up, the apple comes up and the wheel goes round but then I am left with a blank white screen. Has anyone any ideas.

    Locate your original install disk (it's grey) and use it to restart your iMac by holding the "C" key during startup. Use the disk utility to repair your harddrive.

  • I cannot sign into icloud on my pc.  The wheel goes round as it it is loading but nothing happens

    Not long had my iphone 5 and not very up on using it.  I cannot sign into icloud on my pc.  The wheel goes round as it it is loading but nothing happens.  Any suggestions please?

    I have the same problem using Internet Explorer so I tried to login on my mom's laptop and IE asked for permission to install an ActiveX control so I did and it worked fine. The IE on my laptop will not ask for the ActiveX so I use Safari and I can login with no problem.

  • Why not make the Detail Navigation column in SDN website?

    I wonder the SDN Team can make the Detail Navigation column like in the portal, which can be adjusting size and minimize. As I always have to hold my  mouse to move the page to the right when reading Weblog and Post Thread.

    Hi Kent,
    The left hand navigation is now collapsible. See Craig's blog:

  • 2.0 GHz Intel Quad core i7 vs. 3.7 GHz Intel Duo Core i7 Processor: Why not make the Quad Core 3.7GHz?

    I don't really understand processors, but is the 2.0GHz Quad Core i7 really a better processor in terms of performance? If it has 4 cores why not give it greater processing speed like 2.7 or 3.0 GHz?
    I am asking because I am thinking about getting the high end Mac Mini, but I see that it's processor runs at 2.0GHz and the others in the line run at 2.5 and 2.7 respectively. Why is this?

    I'm really oversimplifying here, but...
    Let's just assume that each core runs at full speed all the time, the total performance of that processor would be the sum of the running totals of each core:
    Duo Core i7 = 2 (cores) * 2.7 GHZ = 5.4 Ghz total processor power
    Quad Core i5 = 4 (cores) * 2.0 GHZ = 8.0 Ghz
    Like I said, oversimplified.  But, you get the point.  Not to mention, most apps still aren't optimized, so at a given time they only use a single core anyway. In this case, it'd be more beneficial to have more cores, since they would (hypothetically) be able to run more simultaneous processes (four vs. two in your case).
    I gues the greater question is: what were you planning on using the mini for?  Most CPUs go underutilized anyway, so you may be better off getting a 2.0, and maxing out your RAM and maybe adding a SSD.  Those upgrades (the SSD especially) will result in a very noticeable increase in performance.

  • Saving illustrator CS5 files in Mac OSX Lion makes the app to crash

    Hello!
    I have serious troubles with illustrator since i've installed Lion. All my files are stored in a networked Western Digital USB disk connected to the Airport Extreme via USB port. When a file is open in illustrator and try to save ir after a few changes the APP CRASH! No matter if the file was in the desktop or in the networked drive, always crash! The file is saved OK and with no errors but the app crash and need to be "Force Quited" and open again...
    Anybody has this issue with illustrator and Lion? Anybody has a fix for this?
    THANKS!!!

    Like leitowys all of my ai files that are saved over the network (on time capsule) do it... Big or small.
    I should also note I never had this problem in Snow Leopard ... On my laptop I reverted back to snow leopard after upgrading to lion, and my illustrator works fine again saving over network etc.
    Also, when I try to force quit once it has frozen up in illustrator, everything freezes up and I eventually have to power button restart.

  • 10.7 Lion makes the fan in my MacBook Pro roar!

    The fan in my MacBook Pro 13" Thunderbolt (2,3 GHz i5, 8 GB RAM) is driving me wild! As wild as a Lion! I was used to it howling like a starting spaceship whenever I was watching crappy Flash Video, but now with 10.7 Lion, the fan even blows like crazy in Mail.app.
    What’s most annoying is that it doesn't spin at a constant speed but that it's speed, and thus volume goes up and down all the time. The guys at Apple can't be serious about this... The fan action in my previous MacBook Pro 13" (2.26 GHz C2D, 8 GB) was really moderate, but the SandyBridge-based machines seem to be a nightmare.
    I rather accept a slower CPU, than the penetrating and annoying howling. Come on Apple give us some Firmware update! Where is the 'eye of Steve' when you need it?
    P.S.: Please second this!
    P.P.S.: I'm familiar with the Activity Monitor, and closely watch the processes, so it is not that I don't understand what is going on. Yet, still: My last C2D MBP was a zillion times quiter...

    Mine is roaring too - like a computer readying for lift-off. I think it wants to be the next space shuttle.
    In my case, it's definitely (at least in part) because clamshell mode currently has a major bug under Lion. You should be able to run an external monitor with the MBP lid open and internal screen off. After upgrading to Lion, the MBP screen comes back on as soon as you re-open the lid. So the only way to use only the external display is to keep the lid closed. Lid closed = poorer air circulation = hotter running = mad, mad fan noise plus a much unhappier and unhealthy living environment for the battery and other components.
    One step forward, three steps back... Please fix, Apple.

  • HT4623 Why not make the iOS 7 available to older iPod touch users?

    I am pretty angered. I purchased my 16 GB iPod in May 2013 under the assumption that it was the newest iPod model, only to find out now that it isn't. I was okay with that, until I learned I did not have Siri, and now, with it being that I cannot download the iOS 7.

    All the iOS devices compatible (iPhone 4 and later, iPad 2 and later, and 5G iPod touch) with iOS 7 have at least 512 MB of memory. The 4G iPod only has 256 MB

  • XML Reader - why re-invent the wheel

    Does anyone want to post the code to a good XML Reader that they currently have in use?

    Here is some very simple code that reads all of the nodes in an XML doc. I apologize to the writer of this code, I can't remember where I got it and what his/her name is. If someone recognizes it, please pipe up. Oh yeah, and I can't remember what needed to be referenced so I included a bunch of stuff.

  • My ipod 60gb classic is showing as fully charged until I connect it to my pc when it comes up with the error message, 'please wait very low battery' and the little wheel goes round and nothing happens, can anyone explain why this is and what i can do?

    My ipod 60gb classic is showing as fully charged until I connect it to my pc when it comes up with the error message, 'please wait very low battery' and the little wheel goes round and nothing happens, can anyone explain why this is and what i can do?

    I have worked my way through the assistant and nothing works. I have tried connecting in disc mode but although the screen on the ipod is showing that the device is charged and that it is in disc mode as soon as I connect it to the computer it comes up with the error message 'please wait very low battery' and stays like that until I disconnect when it appears to be OK again. I have tried on both pc and mac.
    BTW the ipod is an ipod video not classic if that makes any difference.
    Thanks

  • Why in the world would Apple make the track pad LESS useful in OS Lion?  I hate that I can't g back to the top of a web page with a singe swipe.  And of course all the other gestures are totally reversed.  IMHO, this was not an imporvement.

    No one here works for Apple.
    Go to System Preferences > Trackpad > Scroll & Zoom, and uncheck Scroll direction: Natural.

  • Why won't simple dissolves make the round trip back to FCP?

    I have read in the Color manual and in certain places (here and the COW), that simple video transitions should be able to make the round trip back from Color to Final Cut Pro.  I have a video that I prepped for Color, only it does contain a few cross dissolves.  Everything is on one track, and the grading is done.  I see my dissolves in the Color timeline.  When I go back to FCP, however, they are gone.  Obviously, with there being no handles on Color video, I can't add them later.
    I understand that I could send the clips I want to perform dissolves on with handles over to color, grade them, and send them back and THEN make the dissolve, but this would be an elaborate waste of time.  Is there a setting somewhere that I'm overlooking?  Why, when all indications are that it will work, will it not work?
    Any input would save me from re-doing this whole edit.
    Thanks.
    Stats:  Running Final Cut Studio 2
                Mac Pro
                FCP version 7.0.3
                Color version 1.5.3
    All clips involved in this edit were QT at MPEG-2 Video, Linear PCM, Timecode
    Dimensions 1280x720
    Let me know if you need more info.

    Color doesn't work with MPEG-2 video.  It works with FCP codecs...  ProRes, DVCPRO HD, HDV, XDCAM.  And only renders out as ProRes or Uncompressed.  I've done over 100 onlines using Color, and every one of them kept the transitions intact.  Every one.  The fact that it isn't for you, means you are doing something wrong...and your codec is the obvious culprit.

  • Why can't Apple and HP get Mountain Lion 10.8.4 to work with the HP OfficeJet 7610?  Does anyone know how to make the wireless scanning work?

    Does anyone know how to make the HP OfficeJet 7610 (latest version) and iMac 3.4 GHz i7 running 10.8.4 work together correctly?  Print function seems to work ok.  Just can't find the scanner in any setup.

    In System Preferences/Print & Scan is there a scan option?

  • HT1752 I both one Mac Pro 15" March 2009  and five month ago I have to change the harddrive and put some actional memories, since I have to make the upgrade for Lion IOS. Now the motherboard fails. What should I do or expect from Apple to solve this probl

    Hi everyone. I both a Mac Pro 15" in March 2009. Five month ago I  was forced to buy by one new hard drive and extent the memory, because I had to make the upgrade (and pay) to install the new Lion operation system. Four days ago the Mother-board fails. To change it will cost a fortune. What should I do or expect from Apple to solve this problem? I am very disappointed because my trust on Apple was destroyed.

    I am not sure why you are upset with Apple. Electronics equipment does fail. If the product is out of warranty or you do not have AppleCare there's not much you can do with Apple. Apple will charge you for the repair. Suggest you look for a third party repair store since they are usually less expensive than Apple. Alternatively you can buy one for about $850US and install it yourself. Sorry, but there aren't many choices in this situation.
