After installing Lion OSX 10.7.1 my MBP went slow. Is not quick and fast like before.

Its been two weeks now, I have installed the Lion OSX 10.7.1. Everday whenever I wake it up from the sleep mode the MBP opens so slowly. It takes about 5 minutes to come on its early stage. Before it wasnt like that. Very quick and fast before.

Backup your files to a external drive and c boot off the 10.6 disk and use Disk Utiltiy to erase the whole drive, format HFS+ journaled and then quit, install 10.6
Set the drive name and user name the same as before. Log in and Software Update to 10.6.8
The install your programs from fresh sources again, then finally return your user files to their respective folders (Music, Pictures etc).
Your computer will be fast and stable again, Lion has tested slower than Snow Leopard and it's glitchy too right now, perhaps 6 months later it will be fast again.

Slowing up after installing Lion OSX

Since I got Lion OSX, my mac has been really slow to start up. When I bought my Macbook, One thing I was really surprised over was how fast it was to start up, like within 10 sec. it was ready to use, but now, especially after installing Lion OSX, it take more than 1 min. What can I do, to make it start up faster?
Thank you for your help

Maybe you are running some system tool that is incompatible with Lion. Double check your Startup Items, and compare with this page here:

Pairing devices fails after install of osx 10.8.5.. It fails at my Iphone and Ipad touch during the pairing about 5 seconds after I confirm the 6 digit number. Does this make sense? Thanks for considering this.

The following entry may indicate a failing harddrive, so doing backups and replacing the harddrive may be in order.
Disk Information:
TOSHIBA MK7559GSXF disk0 : (750,16 GB)
S.M.A.R.T. Status: Failing <-----------
A little bit about drive S.M.A.R.T. status:
"The most basic information that SMART provides is the SMART status. It provides only two values: "threshold not exceeded" and "threshold exceeded". Often these are represented as "drive OK" or "drive fail" respectively. A "threshold exceeded" value is intended to indicate that there is a relatively high probability that the drive will not be able to honor its specification in the future: that is, the drive is "about to fail". The predicted failure may be catastrophic or may be something as subtle as the inability to write to certain sectors, or perhaps slower performance than the manufacturer's declared minimum."

MacBook Pro 13 " going slower in performance after Installing LION OSX

Hey Guys ,
I had noticed some problems in my MacBook Pro 13" which I bought in the MID of 2011 ( i5 processor ) , I had purchased and installed LION OSX and observed after installing that my Backlite ( Keyboard ) dont get on when I start up at the LOG IN , which used to work in SNOW LEOPARD .
Booting takes SO SO SO long as when comapared with the previous OS .
Heating Problem is also a must to mention .
If you guys know how to reduce these problems please help me out !
Thank You .

I'm curious if you ever found a solution for this issue. I recently purchased the SanDisk Extreme II 480GB, replacing my OWC Extreme Pro 240GB. The OWC never experienced the "slow to wake" issue whereas the SanDisk drive does, consistently. To make sure I'm having the same symptoms, this is what happens to me: Put the mac to sleep (either manually or letting it do it on its own, waiting for the led to pulse showing that it is asleep), then wake it up (press a key on the keyboard), the logon screen shows almost immediately but as soon as I try to type the pinwheel/beach ball shows up, I wait between 20 and 30 seconds and then I'm able to type and all is well.
I contataced SanDisk and their support was horrible. They simply told me "contact MAC for this issue" (no joke, not "contact Apple" but "contact MAC", in all caps). I explained that it works fine with the OWC drive just not the SanDisk. They replied with another article showing that all macs have trouble waking from sleep (not true). I replied again indicating that I've never had this issue with any of my 3rd party drives, only this SanDisk. Then the replied simply stating that all mac's have issues with 3rd party hard drives when waking from sleep. At this point I threw a fit and yelled at my screen, even though it wasn't my screens fault.
In any case, their support has not been willing to do any actual troubleshooting. I'd love to return it and I might have to - but as you stated, it's annoying to have this issue but the performance is fine the rest of the time.
Thanks for any input you have.

After installing Lion OSX on Macbook Air, no longer wakes from sleep

Since installing Lion and after update to 10.7.4, Mac book Air no longer wakes from sleep. Have to hold pwr key for a few seconds and restart. Tried resetting SMC and PRAM but no effect.

If there's no change, do as follows.
Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, or by a peripheral device.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode* and log in to the account with the problem. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
Shut down your computer, wait 30 seconds, and then hold down the shift key while pressing the power button.
When you see the gray Apple logo, release the shift key.
If you are prompted to log in, type your password, and then hold down the shift key again as you click Log in.
*Note: If FileVault is enabled under OS X 10.7 or later, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t boot in safe mode. Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin. Test while in safe mode. Same problem? After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

After installing lion get an error -50 when trying to burn music to cd - hand no problem before lion

Is anyone else having this problem?? I always burn audio books/music to cd and have had no problems doing so UNTIL
I installed Lion. Now I keep getting an error message. It is error -50. This NEVER happened before. I'm very frustrated - -
I tried downloading the books into iTunes again, but still when I try to burn to CD, I get the error message... HELP!

Sorry that I'm not any help, but I got that same message when copying over a music CD and now, it's as if it doesn't read that a CD is in the drive...did you have this problem??
Good luck,
chris

Can't get wifi connection after installing lion osx

I upgraded my OSX to Lion, and ever since i am unable to pull a connection to my wifi, neither at home nor at work. I have tried almost everything... I even reinstalled all of my software and NADA..... And needless to say it took me the whole saturday to do it, since it is recommended to start with the Discs that originally came with the computer..
I´m on the verge of hating my computer!!!
PLEASE HELP....

While we all have MacBooks in this forum most of us don’t have Lion. There's a Lion Support Community where everybody has Lion. You should also post this question there. https://discussions.apple.com/community/mac_os/mac_os_x_v10.7_lion

Slow wake up after installing lion (Macbook Pro 2010)

Hi there,
After installing Lion, my Macbook Pro 15" takes a lot longer to wake up from sleep than before (taking 10 or more seconds, instead of 2 seconds in Snow Leopard).
Am I the only one seeing this? I did a normal install (upgrade from SL) from the Mac App store. RAM is 8 GB.
Thanks!
FR.

I seem to have fixed this issue. I ran Disk Utility and it showed error in the file structure. I rebooted into to Lion Recovery partition and ran Disk Utility, did a repair, and now (for the time being) it wakes as expected without all the whiring fans and falling back off to sleepland.
One gotcha with the recovery partition boot is that it doesn't recognise Magic Mouse, and I had to dig out my USB mouse.
Hope this info is of some help.

You're profile indicates you have a MacBook Pro, did you know this is an iMac forum?
Regarding your issue it would be helpful if you provided much more information. You get the spinning beachball when? Also how much RAM does your MBP have and any other specifics about your problem.

How can I return back to OSx after installing Lion?

I'm disappointed. After installing Lion, everything is slower. The best thing I had last year was my new MacBook Pro, because everything was fast.. (sleep, opening programs, multitasking...etc) Now, everything takes forever. How can I return back to OSx?

Downgrade Lion to Snow Leopard
1. Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer Disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu.
2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the drive in DU's status area. If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing. SMART info will not be reported on external drives. Otherwise, click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
4. Quit DU and return to the installer. Install Snow Leopard.
This will erase the whole drive so be sure to backup your files if you don't have a backup already. If you have performed a TM backup using Lion be aware that you cannot restore from that backup in Snow Leopard. I suggest you make a separate backup using Carbon Copy Cloner 3.4.1.

I am having a similar issue, but in my situation, my users cannot log in. All of my users are network users on Mini's. I am running 10.6.8 on my server. I have created users before with no issues, but have not done so in months. When I try to log the new user in, I get the following error:
xpchelper: Could not get path of user account (uid:1029) home directory:/Network/Servers/server.xxx.net/Volumes/Data/Users/username; error; The operation couldn't be completed. No such file or directory. Using home directory.

I have no idea of what to do. I have verified that the user looks the same as my other users in WGM. The user's folder was created on the server. The user has access to the folder. I'm not sure what else could be wrong here.

Just copy the DMG that you downloaded. Or send it across your local network.
Or try this:
