? about osx lion

Ok im a newbe on here, but have owned macs for years. (once you go mac you never go back) my question is if i buy the download of osx lion from itunes for my wifes macbook pro running 10.6.8 sno leaopard,as wll as mine can i use the same download to load lion on my mac and if so how do i transfer it to mine

Lion is in the Mac App Store, not iTunes, just to clarify. Yes you can download it on both, just sign in to the Mac App Store on both computers using the same Apple ID. If you have alreadfy purchased it once ($29.99), an "INSTALL" button will appear in its place on the 2nd computer.

Have I received poor advice about osx lion upgrade?

I have a 2011 13" MBP, Intel Core i5, 4GB ram model (Purchased new from an Apple store in April 2011).
I have asked an Apple store assistant if I will be able to upgrade to the forthcoming Lion osx but was told the 13" MBP with i5 processor would probably struggle to run Lion, but the i7 processor would be ok as would all the 15" MBP.
Have I been poorly advised or will my 3 month old MBP actually run Lion ok (I hope so)
Thanks in advance for any answers!

I think you've been poorly advised. Apple states in their documentation: Your Mac must have an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7, or Xeon processor to run Lion
Notice there are two processor families on the list slower than yours. You're smack in the middle of the sweet spot.
The proof won't come until general release and someone has load that machine, however I wouldn't worry about it. I think your machine will be just fine.

Questions about OSX Lion features on my white 4,1 macbook

Hi im just wondering what kind of gestures would work on my macbook? For example, if swiping left and right with two fingers will work.
Thanks

You're limited to the basic gestures. The Late 2008 model 5,1 Aluminum Unibody was the first MacBook with a glass trackpad.

Wi-Fi issue in OSX Lion 10.7.2

Shall i begin to say i love Apple and their great products so much! iI bought a 27'' iMac with snow leopard on it. I really was excited about OSX Lion, and it definilty make it expantasion clear it's a great os!
However since the upgrade to Lion there are some issues with the wi-fi conection it sometimes drops then i must reconect the iMac to my router then it works agian. Also the internet connection is very slow. i tried anything you can think of: Switch of wi-fi and then turn it on agian, remove the wi-fi and then enter the same router,switch security settings,switch the channel,reset DRAM it does't solve the problem. I really hope Apple can fix this issue,Aside from the Lion wi-fi drops my iPad had a issue with wi-fi as well under iOS 4.2 the wi-fi sometimes dropped under iOS 5 this is solved.

That does not work for me. I've done it numerous times on various wi-fi networks I use. On one unsecured network, the wi-fi connection came back automatically as I did other work, but I could not replicate how. Also, at two other locations that are important, and where I cannot influence the router settings (which work for all other user, as far as I can tell), I cannot restore the connection for the life of me. My wi-fi icon shows greyed-out bars with an exclamation point icon through the middle. I am on 10.7.4 now, but have had problems since 10.7.2. Here is some of the crap I get:

Updated to OSX Lion and about 3 days later I can't acces my own website

Updated to OSX Lion and about 3 days later I can't acces my own website from my computer, but it works on other computers. Using a java wordpress site, can't even access my admin panel. Anybody else have this problem. What might have caused this. Even tried reinstall Lion, no success

I can't access my cPanel or just the website itself. I can't access the admin panel for the Wordpress workings either.
And it all worked fine until I updated to Lion.
Any help you can provider would be very helpful. My host is claiming they can access it fine so they aren't able to help. They verified my IP isn't blocked on their end.
And I can access it straight away in Safari.Do you have any anti-virus or third party programs, especially secrity related installed?
Can you access any other sites you regularly go to?
Is your Wordpress program up to date to be compatable with Lion (check developer's site)

Is anyone out there finding OSX Lion a disappointment compared to previous Mac OS? After nearly 20 yrs of using and enthusing about AppleMac, I am suddenly not enthused. What am I missing?

You're not heavy on specifics on what you don't like.
Most people have little technical expertise but are wanting more and more, requiring more complex computers, ideally ending up with one from Star Trek where you basically don't have to know anything how to really use a computer and it just provides you with the exact answer you need to a not particularly well-phrased query. If you're missing things like configuration options and the rest, well frankly I think many people are happy not to have to make complicated decisions for themselves such as in which opening do they insert a system installer disc.

I'm trying to use Internet recovery feature to reinstall osx lion how do I go about that?

How do I use Internet recovery feature to reinstall osx lion?

Restart with the COMMAND+OPTION+R keys pressed and held until you see a spinning globe. This boots into Internet Recovery and the Apple servers. You can then download/install the most current version of OS X that was pre-installed on your Mini.
To restart into the Recovery HD, press and hold the COMMAND+R keys until you see the Apple logo. This boots into Recovery Mode from your internal drive's Recovery HD. You can then download/install the most current version of OS X that is installed on your Mini.

I own a late 2009 Macbook Pro, and it keeps freezing after OSX Lion installation.

I own a late 2009 Macbook Pro, and it keeps freezing after OSX Lion installation. I will post my computer's 'specs' below. I installed Lion, from Snow Leopard, through the App store. The first week, it worked like a dream, and was loving my brand new computer, or so it seemed. I then began to run into problems, and I can't confirm this 100%, but I believe it was after I updated from 10.7.1, to 10.7.2.
The freezes are sporatic at best, and cannot be narrowed down to one app. I googled the issue about two weeks ago, and found a fix involving a temporary log-in, verifying the disk, restarting the computer holding CMD+R, and repairing the disk from there. That fixed the problem. For about three or four days. From there I brought my laptop to Best Buy, where I purchased the computer (start the groans, my dad wanted the accidental damage, and he was paying, there was no argument). My warranty there was still good, but all they were offering was to check my hard-drive, and possibly ship it out. That would not be good for me, as I am a High School student, who works online.
So I then decided to go to the Apple store, see what they said. They said a bunch of people had this problem, it would cost a lot to fix, as I would need a new Logic Board. This did not make any sense to me, as I knew it was Lion's fault, so why would they not make the L-2009MBP Logic Board compatible, and why are only a few people having this problem, well a lot more than a few, but I mean not everyone.
So I asked a friend about it, and we decided to run a back up, and erase the computer, and re-install Lion. Figuring maybe my data was corrupted during install. This helped for a day or two, and happened again. So this time, we backed up only files (music, pics, documents, etc.,) and did a fresh install. I got my computer back last night. Now, I am not saying that didn't help. Previously I would have frozen about 18 times well writing this, but I have not frozen once (hopefully I didn't just jinx myself). I have gone from about one freeze every 10-15 minutes (sometimes worse), to about one every 1-3 hours. Which, let's be honest is still a lot.
So, before I just decide to go and revert to Snow Leopard on my merry way, I ask, do any of you have any other ideas? Or guarenteed fixes? I know a guarentee is a hard thing to ask for, but I am desperate, my teachers are getting angry with me for not sending work, and I know this would help a lot of people. Thank you to those who read through my whole spiel, and thank you to those who will help me!
[Ps, while I am somewhat of a noob, I know my way around a computer, so any help, or knowledge you could bestow upon me is awesome. Especially DIY fixes. (if your only advice is, don't buy a mac at Best Buy, don't bother commenting)]

Once it is downloaded you need to restart the computer if it does not restart automatically. When it next starts up you should note a progress bar appearing below the Apple logo. When done the computer will restart once more. The new firmware should now be installed.

How do I disable the back and forward gestures in F9 for OSX Lion?

The new gestures in Firefox 9 for OSX Lion that enable you to browse forward and backward with a two-fingered swipe are driving me crazy.
I like the idea, but it's way too sensitive. Every time I'm trying to scroll up or down a page (which also uses two fingers), I accidentally go back because I apparently don't have the skills to swipe up and down the track pad in a perfectly vertical line.
If the feature was adjusted so that the back and forth swiping wasn't so sensitive, this would be a wonderful feature. But as it currently is, it's destroying my browsing experience in Firefox to the point where I'm considering switching browsers.
I haven't found a way to disable just this feature and only in Firefox. Help?

You can set the related gesture prefs to an empty string value on the about:config page.
To open the about:config page, type about:config in the location (address) bar and press the "Enter" key, just like you type the url of a website to open a website. 
If you see a warning then you can confirm that you want to access the about:config page. 
*Use the Filter bar at the top of the about:config page to locate a preference more easily.
Filter: gesture 
Double-click the line with the gesture pref that you want to disable and clear its value.

I am running Mac OSx Lion 10.7.2.
My issue is that I am not able to run a search in the finder toolabar on a network server. No files show up nor does it search on the server anymore. I was able to run the search in snow-leopard and am no longer able to do so with Lion. Is there a preference I can change or some kind of app or program I can download that will help me with this issue? This is extremely problematic for me as I am searching for files all day everyday. Thank you!

Hello,
It isn't the fw in Network you want o use or look at, that's for something completely different.
My first suspect is the Power Adapter on the LaCie has gone.
At the Apple Icon at top left>About this Mac, then click on More Info, then click on Hardware>Firewire, what is listed there?
Reset the Firewire bus
If your Firewire or USB isn't recognizing any device. A solution which has worked for some whose hard drive became invisible in 10.4 was simply to follow these four steps to reset the Firewire/USB bus:
1. Shut the machine down.
2. UNPLUG the power lead to the computer and any firewire/USB drive or devices.
3. leave it for 10 minutes.
4. Connect back up and reboot.

How can I use LDAP searching from OSX Lion Server to Mozilla Thunderbird?

How can I use LDAP searching from OSX Lion Server to Mozilla Thunderbird? We have a super awesome contacts server that works great for our Mac users. About 30% of our company are on PCs, and I would like to use the Mozilla Thunderbird mail client for them. I see that in Thunderbird I can set up LDAP searching, and would like to have this feature point to our contacts server. I've tried several different settings, and looked all over the web, but could not find the proper way to configure this. Does anyone know if this can be done, or if not, would have a better suggestion? Thank you for your time!!

try double clicking keychain acces should launch and ask if you want to install login, system, System roots
A dialog box will launch asking where to install the cert since your configuring a vpn I would put the certificate it in system.

Just purchased a iMac a few hours ago, how do I install the free OSX Lion from the UK?

I'm just starting to get used to my new Mac I just purchased, these things are brilliant! I was told by the seller that since I have a new system I'm allowed to download OSX Lion for free, how would I go about that if I'm from the UK? I can only seem to find the US Link.
Please note, that the UK Link is different to the USA link,
Cheers,
Will.

Connection drop iMac to Apple TV - OSX Lion

Hello.
Hope someone might have a solution. Ever since i changed to OSX Lion i have had a really irritating bug with my Wifi. While browsing, downloading and doing everyday stuff my connection is fine.
However when streaming movies and tv-shows to my Apple TV (2nd) i have been getting som nasty connection drops. Its not always but to often to be anoying since i havnt had this problem before.
Scenario: I can start a movie and watch almost an hour when all of a sudden the connection drops on my iMac Late 2009 - OSX Lion 10.7.3. Everytime this happens my Wifi icon turns gray and i need to shut the Wifi off and turn it on again and all works. But once it has started the connection drops every 10 min or so and i need to reboot the machine to be able to watch the movie like "normal".
The connection between my Airport Express and the Apple TV is no problem and works flawless but my Mac cant seem to handle the "heat". I didnt have this issue on SL so im a bit bugged about it.
RSSI: -45
SPEED: 130
This is what ive tried.
1. Repair the permissions thru the OS, and the Command and R at start up, including the "resetpassword" thing.
2. Update firmware on my Aiport Express and downgraded since it just got worse.
3. Updated the airport utility, but needed to install back the old one since the new for Lion doesnt support the switch between 2.4 and 5.0 band.
4. Reset PRAM
5. Reset SMC
6. Rebuild the connection by deleteing and resetting the router.
7. Done some cleanup with OnyX.
Now im out of ideas since nothing seem to work and i hate that i have all this Apple gear for thousands of dollars and the f**** Wifi ruins everything.
Anyone?
Cheers
Chris

I have the same issue

Error 0xc00000e9 when installing windows 7 on OSX lion

I have a mid 2011 model of macbook pro i7 15 inch , and i just upgraded to OSX lion from os leopard . I tried to install windows 7 via bootcamp 4.0 , and the download for the windows support software always hangs at mid point , and must retry several times before it completes. After which when starting to install windows 7 , at the screen where it says loading windows file , suddenly there is an error of 0xc00000e9 , and i could not continue to install after which , even though i have removed all USB. Is there any way to solve this or do i have to downgrade to bootcamp 3.0 to install the windows 7.
Thanks

No downgrade, what you need to do is head to Bootcamp and delete the Bootcamp partition
Then head to Disk Utility and Erase Free Space with Zero. this will take some time and write zeros' to all your spare space on the drive, it also reads those zeros back to confirm and when it can't do that the driver software will map off the problem sector on your drive.
Once that's finished, use the Bootcamp software again and Windows should install.
You should learn about Carbon Copy Cloner and WinClone so you can restore OS X or Windows
https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3045
also read this, if your not going to be using Windows heavily or for 3D games, then this might be a better solution that dual booting.

Mac OSX Lion Server Network User Login Issue

We have in the office a server running Mac OSX Lion, and several network users who've all been running happily for quite a will.
About a month ago I was added to the system, and initially we had a few issues relating to the home directory, but we changed 'something' and it all worked.
Fast forward to now, and we've added a new user - Hannah - to our system.
I've added her in the Workgroup Manager, and set her up everywhere I can find on the server. Her home directory creates on the server fine.
She appears in the Logon list on the client machines, and here's where the trouble starts...
Every time she tries to log on, it fails. The logon box just bounces or wobbles as though the password is incorrect. We've tried changing the password, to no avail. We've tried adding new test users - same problem.
We've tried sudo kinet on the Terminal as a local user, with variable results.
I'm at my wits end, and really hoping someone here can help offer some suggestions or advice we can work through to get to the bottom of this.
Thanks in advance!

Your problems are likely occurring because you added her to the directory with Workgroup Manager.
You should really start avoiding WGM when at all possible as Apple is clearly moving away from it. Because of this, things don't always work as expected when using 'legacy' tools like WGM.
My guess as to what your problem is: When you create a new user in Server.app, two things happen for you automatically that WILL NOT HAPPEN if done from WGM.
First the user is added to the default "Workgroup" group.
More importantly (and the source of much confusion), the user is automatically added to SACLs.
Check the SACL for the user in Server.app, I bet you'll notice that they aren't a member of the File Sharing group like they should be. To solve this problem, you can either delete the user and recreate them in Server.app, or manually add them to the appropriate SACL.
I would opt for recreating them in Server.app if I were you, as I don't trust user accounts that originate in WGM on Lion Server.
