  • After installing Lion, mouse up and down scrolling does not work

    After installing Lion, scrolling with an Apple mouse up and down does not work. Horizontal scrolling does work.

    Hi guys. First, check the scroll outside of Firefox. Is it working?
    Second,
    '''[https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/troubleshoot-firefox-issues-using-safe-mode Start Firefox in Safe Mode]''' {web link}
    While you are in safe mode;
    Type '''about:preferences'''<Enter> in the address bar
    Select '''Advanced > General.'''
    Look for and turn off '''Use Hardware Acceleration'''.
    Poke around safe web sites. Are there any problems?
    Then restart.

  • Mac-pc smb connection failed after installing lion. Mac to pc connection is normal, but pc to Mac won't work.

    I have file sharing enabled and all that jazz. I haven't tinkered with my system settings. It worked fine until I installed Lion. If anyone could help I'd very much appreciate it. Thanks!
    Here's a screeny (posted an image-link to save space)

    someone just informed me that they had difficulty accessing the link I shared above. I went back, found the problem with the link and here's the one that takes you there. See page 2 for the solution I found.

  • Keep getting "finder quit unexpectedly while using PackageKit Plug-In" intermittently after install of 10.9.2 Mavericks, what should i do?

    When i restart, reboot, power down or power up i keep getting (intermittently) an error window pop up saying - "finder quit unexpectedly while using PackageKit Plug-In" - this has only been occuring since after install of 10.9.2 Mavericks. Also powering down or restarting in anyway now takes much longer than normal despite not having any 3rd party apps scheduled to open at startup! - note i also upgraded the memory of my early (2011) 13 inch macbook pro from 4GB to 8GB, but hadnt caused any issues prior to install of Mavericks 10.9.2.
    What should i do, can anyone help with a fix other than suggesting i take it into an apple store (as i'm out of warranty) or without having to do a software re-install from the recovery discs? Thanks.  

    Hello vajrabairava,
    This may be the result of a damaged system component. I would recommend reinstalling Mavericks in order to replace any damaged components. This should not affect any data on the system, but I do strongly suggest ensuring that you have a good backup in place prior to reinstalling Mavericks.

  • Address Book no longer works after installing Lion on MAC Book Air.

    Ive checked my updates and it is not one of them. I am new to MAC and I am clueless as to what to do. Any suggestions?

    By when you write "click on the address book", I'll presume you mean you click on the Address Book icon in the Dock.  Did you ever move around things in the Applications folder?  In general, it's not a good idea to move Apple's applications from their normal locations.
    To verify this, click-and-hold on the Address Book icon, then when the pop-up menu appears, roll to "Options", then to "Show in Finder".  I'll guess that the folder of the resulting window is not of the Applications folder.
    To fix the problem in the short run, drag the Address Book icon out of the Dock.  Then open the Applications folder, find Address Book, and drag it to the Doc.  Eventually you'll want to delete the old applications, but in Lion that's harder to do than previously.

  • I use a two button mouse with my Mac Book Pro.  It works fine, but after installing Lion, the mouse wheel goes in reverse of what it did (rolling the wheel towards your palm goes up not down the page).  Anyone know how to fix this?

    First sentence in OPs question:

    I guess the track pad settings would look similar to my screen shot?

  • My Mac won't mount my external HDD after installing Lion - What can I do?

    My Mac won't mount my external HDD after installing Lion - What can I do?
    HDD: Verbatim 3.5'' External HDD  eSATA & USB 2.0 #48802
    I can not find it in Disc Utilities - so I can not repair it.
    I also haven't found any Driver for the HDD to do an update.
    My Mac is running on the most recent updates of OS Lion.
    The HDD worked before. It contains my former Time-Mashine Backups. I would like to use this drive again. It isn't very old yet.
    It would be much appreciated if anyone could help.
    Cheers,
    Yves

    OK, try restarting in Safe Mode and if that doesn't work try resetting the SMC and PRAM.
    SMC RESET
    Shut down the computer.
    Unplug the computer's power cord and ALL peripherals.
    Wait 15 seconds.
    Attach the computers power cable.
    Wait another 5 seconds and press the power button to turn on the computer.
    PRAM RESET
    Shut down the computer.
    Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command, Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
    Turn on the computer.
    Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys. You must press this key combination before the gray screen appears.
    Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
    Release the keys.

  • Although I am new to mac, I am not new to computers and purchasing online.  I can't sign into the App store after installing Lion.  I have had to change my password 4 times in 2 days .  I am so sick of this.  I am trying to buy a tutorial for Lion.

    I recently downloaded Lion and since have had nothing but problems with my new i-Mac.  My problem with the App store is only one issue.  Has anyone out there had any trouble with their components after installing Lion 10.7???????   After several hours on the phone with a tech my situation isn't any better.  I think the tech is sick of talking with me.  He was supposed to call me today and the phone never rang.   He told me he was working on something to repair my problems and needed to talk with engineers.  How long could that take????   If it wouldn't hurt the person who gifted me this i-Mac, I would give it back. 

    your itunes accoutn have nothing to d with your computer
    you can go to any computer with internet access in the world and
    login into your itunes account if you have the appleID and password
    the itunes account is placed on apples itunes servers

  • After installing Lion on my Mac mini I no longer get a sound whe I plug in a usb device, and sometimes iTunes does not recognize my iPad.  Is this normal (lack of usb recognition sound)?

    After installing Lion on my mini, I no longer get a "recognition sound" when I plug in a usb device.  Is this normal?

    I am not sure any Mac every had a sound for plugging/unplugging USB devices.
    You may be right. It's only on Windows that the sound is created and heard.
    I know that since Tiger on this MBP, when I plug in my external scanner, I never heard anything.
    And plugging in my Blu-Ray recorder also does not make any sounds.
    I cannot speak for anything but my Mac laptops, however. Desktop Macs might make a sound.

  • Cannot install lion from mac appstore. i have a macbook pro early 2011 model with 10.6.8 and i keep getting a wierd error NSInternalInconsistencyException i have no idea what to do.

    I cannot install lion from mac appstore. i have a macbook pro early 2011 model with 10.6.8 and i keep getting a wierd error NSInternalInconsistencyException i have no idea what to do.

    I changed my wireless broadband to a landline-base DSL wifi and it works like a charm. Sun was the culprit even you fiddle with its router and disable firewall, it won't work.
    try changing yours too and let me know how it goes.

  • My mac has become very slow and crashes frequently after installing Lion

    My mac has become very slow and crashes frequently after installing Lion. I have a 4 GB DDR3 ram and 2.4 GHz Processor. The Mac was running just fine on Snow Leopard. Has anyone else faced this issue?
    Any suggestions on how to solve it?
    Thank you

    I refer you to the TM expert

    As a extra precaution I would copy the user file folders of Music, Documents, Pictures etc to another external drive and disconnect, just in case.
    Always maintain TWO backups of your data at all times, since your messing with one, you need another until your back at two again.

    There are also free alternatives such as Neo Office.
    You can also install the Office 2011 30 day trial if it's urgent.

  • I updated my mac 10.8 to mavericks but after installation the app store ask for the same software update again..i have a slow connection..i cannot install it again and again..what should i do?

    I updated my mac 10.8 to mavericks but after installation the app store ask for the same software update again..i have a slow connection..i cannot install it again and again..what should i do?

    In case you are not aware, Mavericks requires a high speed broadband connection.
    In the event you need to restore or repair the starutp disk, OS X Recovery also requires a broadband connection as noted here >  About OS X Recovery
    You can check your download speed here > Speedtest.net
    15Mbps or less, you may not be able to install Mavericks or use OS X Recovery.

  • Local NAS not connecting after installing Lion, what is the fix ?

    After installing Lion, my local NAS is not connecting, what can I do to fix it.

    I have the same problem with my Conceptronic CH3HNAS and have found a free and easy solution.
    Since a lot of people report they are able to access their NAS using apps other than the Finder itself, I decided to look for a free Lion-compatible File Manager to use instead of Finder.
    I have found muCommander ( http://www.mucommander.com/ ) and indeed it works fine. All I did was click on the button highlighted bellow, go to "bonjour services" and select my NAS. It prompted me for my username and password and voilá, it works fine.
    I keep Finder for everyday use and just load muCommander when I want to access the NAS. At least now I don't have to start my WinXP VM anymore just to access it.
    Hope it helps you.
