After installing Lion , my computer crashes and the fan runs constantly on high. How is Apple resolving this problem?

Try to reset your SMC, it fixed the same problem for me ;o)

After Installing Lion how do i get the windows partition back?

The Windows Partition is not showing up after installing Lion.
I only get the option of booting Mac or Recovery
How do I get it back.

Hi!
I had the similar problem, where my windows option went missing after installing Lion. I gave up trying to resolve it and did a clean installation on windows again by re-configuring my Windows partition & install Windows 7 on it. It seems to work well for now...
Apple should have warned us that the Windows partition will be unreadable when u install Lion. Hence, allowing users to back their files up on Windows environment before installing Lion.
Thank god I did not have any important files save in Windows.

Is there a way to darken the dates (numbers) on ical. After installing Lion I can barely read the dates of the month in ICal

Is there a way to darken the dates (numbers) on the ICal calender. I can barely read mine after installing Lion.

I should note that the time stays on the left of the event name when I re-enter the text (which I had to do all the time before I found the "show event times" button) so I feel like there's a way.

My computer crashed and the hard drive is no longer. I have purchased a new laptop but now have no access to my old itunes library. My laptop has created a new itunes account with NOTHING in it?? My Itouch has everything loaded but it wont sync with this itunes account....HELP

- Transfer iTunes purchases:
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer
- Transfer other music by using a third-party program like one of those discussed here:
newer copy
- Connect the iPod to the computer and make a backup by right clicking on the iPod under Devices in iTunes and select Back Up
- Restore the iPod from that backup
Note that the iPod backup that iTunes makes does not included synced media like apps and music.

After installing lion, my computer is running slower and having delays connecting to network

please help me resolve my problem. after installing lion my system was running great for about a week. suddenly it is having trouble connecting to the internet, running slow and the history pages are appearing without asking for them.. unable to get my homepage when opening up, just get a white screen. if i go to the history, i can get the homepage. Only able to access my homepage by waiting for ever or getting it from the history.
please help

Peter, thank you for responding. No, I am not referring to the initial start up. I downloaded Yosemite over a week ago and feel it is running very slow when switching websites. Also, I have experienced numerous hangups causing me to force quite much more than before.
I just cleared my Safari history (I am guessing that is what you meant by "clean the old internet-caches" and restarted Safari. I will see how it goes.
I uses a file called "Desktop" from my IPhoto library for my desktop pictures. It contains about 20 pictures. I configured it that way in Preferences, but it seems whenever I shut down and restart my computer it reverts to the generic picture of Yosemite. As for the question mark and "Update Needed" showing on my startup log in screen, I think I fixed that by changing my password in Preferences.
No that I have cleared the Safari history, I will see how things go.

My computer crashed and the shop that fixed it deleted everything on it including my songs on itunes?

My computer crashed and in order to fix it they had to restart everything on it when i redownloaded itunes my songs still apear on it but they won't play because i no longer have the files.
Now the songs show up in the new itunes i installed but the file cannot be located. I just spent the last year in military training so i didnt have time to deal with this until now. To make matters worse befor i left for training my ipod broke and i sold it to the pawnshop for like $5. Im considering buying a new one but am currently refusing to buy anymore Apple products til i solve this. When i try to conntact support it asks for my item serial number but i dont have one being other than my $3000.00+ worth of itunes songs i no longer own anything Apple.
My question is does anyone know how to fix this or how to get ahold of Apple customer support w/o a serial number?

Your data are gone since you no longer have the drive on which they were stored nor do you have a backup. Apple cannot help you with this.
If you purchased your iTunes tracks in the iTunes Store then you can re-download them: Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store. Of course you will need an Apple computer to do so. You will also need your Apple ID and password that you used to purchase the tracks.

2008 Mac Pro Monitor loses picture, computer becomes unresponsive and the fans run fast.

My early 2008 Mac Pro is dropping the signal to the monitor and the fan on the back begins to run at max speed. I have to do a force shut down and start again. It will then run ok for several hours. This typically happens when it wakes up, I log in and begin doing a task. However, it has been known to do this at a random time. This has progressed to a once a day event mostly in the morning after it has been sleeping for several hours.
I pulled the cover when it did it last and pressed the diagnostic button. LED's for the GPU and PWRG did not light.
I am wondering if it is the power supply beginning to fail or if it is the logic board or, is it something else.
Can anyone help with this?
Thank you

When using the Hardware Monitor software (from http://www.bresink.com/osx/216202/Docs-en/faq.html ) -- i emphasized the stuff in red
The sensor X shows the reading Y. Is this normal?
If you want to find out whether a sensor value is within normal limits, please select the menu item Window > Show Overview (or press ⌘+1) and look for the limits in the third and fourth columns of the sensor table. They contain the known official limits Apple has specified for readings acquired at the given sensor locations. If no limit is given in the table, this either means that it does not make sense to specify a limit for this particular sensor (e.g. the battery capacity should not have limits), or Apple hasn't published any specifications for this sensor.
Note that all up-to-date Macintosh models automatically shut down or enter sleep mode if one of the readings exceeds a critical limit. For this reason it is impossible that your computer can be damaged in an overtemperature condition.
For old computers without temperature managment, no limits have been specified by Apple. In this case use the following limits as orientation:
Most older G3 or G4 processors are designed for a maximum operating temperature of 105 degrees Celsius (221 degrees Fahrenheit), measured at the chip die of the CPU.
G4 processors of type 7455 or later (typically used in Macintosh systems with 867 MHz and above) are designed for a maximum operating temperature of 65 degrees Celsius (149 degrees Fahrenheit), also measured at the chip die of the CPU.
Most desktop hard drives are specified for a maximum operating temperature of 55 degrees Celsius (131 degrees Fahrenheit). For exact information, use the Drive Overview window (⌘+8) to get the manufacturer and model code of your hard drive, and then direct your web browser to the manufacturer's web site to download the official data sheet for this drive. The temperature limits are always specified.
==================================
And don't forget you can look at the fan speeds (there are several in the Mac Pro) - that sometimes will give you a hint something abnormal is going on if the fans start running a lot.

My 2008 MacBook overheats and the fan goes constantly. Can you help

In the past three months my MacBook has started to overheat.
The fan runs almost continually.
I thought it might be related to Norton, so did not renew my subscription when it ran out.
Any ideas

I am having the exact same problem!!!! just posted same question

After installing lion, my computer switches constantly between dashboard and current screen

I installed lion this morning and my screen switches rapidly between the dashboard and current screen, initially i thought it was my mouse, but after changing mouse I still get this issue and when my computer has been out of use for a while, i have to "erase" the screen to get to my login, any ideas?

After restarting your computer, try booting into the "recovery HD" by holding down Option at startup and try re-installing Lion. I had the Same problem when I installed Lion but that fixed it.
Rember: back up your data first through time machine so you can restore to the backup once you get Lion reinstalled.

My old computer crashed and the hard drive is non recoverable. Is there a way to recover my saved bookmarks through the Firefox website?

My old computer crashed. I took hard drive to specialist to see if it could be recovered but it can't. I now have a new computer and will be running Firefox. is there a way to recover my Firefox bookmarks and files to my new computer through the Firefox website?

I did sync my old PC but later the hard drive crashed. I do have the recovery key. How do I get all of my saved (synced) stuff onto my new PC? I am now running Windows 8 and Firefox 20.

After Installing Lion I can not restore the latest iOS because I seems that I do not have the rights to do it

haven't you have problems trying to upgrade to iOS 4.3.5? I installed MAC OS 10.7 and now I'm receiving a message saying that I don't have the rights, however I can sync it without any problems.

Sorry to be so late getting back to you. My furnace died and I was a week without heat. Everything's ok now.
I was able to grab an old firefox from an external drive (thank God for backups!) and I used that along with the link that you sent me for older versions and I was able to download the version before the current update.
Thank you for your help.

Imac intel start up problems and fan runs constantly on high

I got my Imac 17 Intel Duo Core on March 16th and 10 minutes after I started it the screen went black and a little light started flashing on the lower right. After holding the power button it finally turned off but would not boot up, just that black screen and blinking light. I was told by tech to unplug everything for a few minutes then put the plug in just the Imac, then hold the power button down while plugging it in. Well it started after that but the fan was on high constantly. This was remedied by unplugging everything for a few minutes and then starting back up normally. Now it runs in stealth mode being virtually silent. If your Imac intel is making noise it's not normal. Check out this site for noise problems.

I second Dave it needs to go back to service. What I have heard happens sometime is one of the temperature sensors is either not put back on properly during reassembly or it comes of soon after. With an incorrect temperature reading that particular fan will run at full speed. You can check the fan speeds by installing iStat Pro: http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/27037
