After lion my internet is at dial up speed

A week after installing lion my internet has slowed to almost dial up speed, what do I do?

I'm having the exact same problems on my iMac (24-inch Early 2008).
3.06 GHz Intel Core Due
4 GB 800 MHz DDR2 SDRAM
Mac OS X Lion 10.7.1 (11B2118)
Ever since I upgraded to Lion, I've had apps freeze, system freezes, 5 min hangs on login, system crashes after login, freezes on shut down/restart attempts, etc., essentially rendering my iMac unsuable. I've done 4 reinstalls now, including a complete erase and reinstall at the Genius Bar, reset the PRAM, permissions repairs (hardware checks out fine), etc. The best results have been about 5 hours good functioning after the erase and reinstall, and then everything got corrupted again and I'm back to square one. Oh, and this is after phone support with Applecare and one trip to the Genius Bar, in case you were wondering-- I'm headed back to the Genius Bar again tomorrow, and my secret hope is that they can downgrade me back to Snow Leopard.
Either Lion is a lemon and not ready for prime time, or this is Apple's version of planned obsolescence: releasing software that cripples perfectly good hardware. I haven't had OS upgrade problems like this since my PC days and Windows 95. It makes me wonder if with all of Apple's success, quality is taking a big hit. If Apple has peaked and is headed downhill to be the next Microsoft, who will be the next Apple? I'm ready to switch.

So what's broken??
1) My wiring is Test socket (out of master socket) to BT Filter and then out to phone and HH4
2) I've disconnected, pulled apart, switched off, and put back together again all computer/hub/phone connections
3) Phone appears fine, no particular noise on the line.
Feels like not my end except the wife can be a bit heavy handed when doing today's weekly vacuum cleaning.
Needless to say it's pretty difficult and unpleasurable to use the internet at these dial-up speeds.

Connection speed better and high noise margin giving scope for a further speed increase. Any exchange problems shown http://usertools.plus.net/exchanges/mso.php

2. copy the entire systemconfiguration folder and systemconfiguration.old folder to your desktop
3. restart mac and device which you share intenet to

Wireless Slow After Lion

Why did my wireless slow down after Lion. I have a time capsule with airport express. After Lion it slowed about 85% on my 13 inch macbook pro.

I have the same issue. From the moment I installed Lion my internetconnection has slowed to a crawl. It affects my (upgraded to Lion)iMac, and my MacBookPro - which is still on Snow Leopard. Both areconnect to a wireless Thompson modem. No problems at all untilupgrading to Lion.
I've tried resetting the modem to factory defaults, and I've tried all 13 modem channels - no joy. It's still crawling.
I'mspitting mad about this becasue it's completely affecting my business,which is mainly done over the internet. Plus my kids are complainingconstantly about no YouTube. In fact anything video/image based is soslow it reminds me of dial up!
Don't get me wrong - I love everything else aboutLion. But slow internet is a massive no no for me. If I don't find asolution in the next few days I'm going back to Snow Leopard.

WiFi disaster after Lion 10.7.3 upgrade

After Lion Desktop Combo Update 10.7.3 the WiFi Airport connection went down: an exclamation comma on the grey sign.
No InterNet, no WiFi.
After 3 foolish days of work, thanks also to this Forum tips&Trics, this is my walk-around:
1. Lion 10.7.3 makes a seriuos jam of the WiFi Airport settings of your iMac, producing a devious IP address who excludes your computer from any connection: very, very skiddish, indeed;
2. You must set MANUALLY your WiFi connection. Fro Your convenience I suggest to activate Airport Utillity 6.0 and after the System Settings, so You will be have a sound case-control of Your steps in real time;
3. On TCP/Ip sectio: Set IPv4, set the mask AT THE ADDRESS OF THE MODEM, set IP address of the router.
4. On DNS set the DNS address to that of the mai router.
Apply.
Turn Off the AIrport. Wait 10sec. Restar ARport and selection the right network.
Take a look with the Airport Utility (we must wait patiently, if all goes well the lights will turn from orange to green in nearly 30sec).
If all is gone well, You are on line anew.
But, Apple Inc. all of this is very disappointing.
Skiddish, very skiddish!
Best regards !

It sounds like your issue is with your ISP's DNS settings. Please study CNET's DNS Article and MacWorld's DNS Troubleshooting and finally change your DNS settings to:
1. System preferences
2. Network
3. Click Advanced
4. Click DNS tab
5. Click + sign
6. Add 208.67.222.222
7. Click + sign
8. Add 208.67.220.220
9. Click OK.
10. Exit System Preferences

Reformat and reinstall osx lion from internet

Not sure how this works. i have purchased a used macbook pro 13" i7 8gb ram 750 hd. The last guy reformatted the drive in a way that will not let mavericks install. It stated the drive needs to be guid. i have tried many times to attempt this and I still get same message and the disk utility will not let me change anythign about the drive.
I have installed the firmware update that will allow the coputer to get the osX from a broadband connection.
I am wondering if this will refomat the drive so i can put Mavericks onthe computer? If so what are the exact steps to accomplish this?

That's OK. You need to repartition the drive anyway because you cannot install anything on it until you remove what had been installed including the Recovery HD partition.
Install Mavericks, Lion/Mountain Lion Using Internet Recovery
Be sure you backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive because the following procedure will remove everything from the hard drive.
Boot to the Internet Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND-OPTION- R keys until a globe appears on the screen. Wait patiently - 15-20 minutes - until the Recovery main menu appears.
Partition and Format the hard drive:
1. Select Disk Utility from the main menu and click on the Continue button.
2. After DU loads select your external hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. 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. Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed. Quit DU and return to the main menu.
Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion. Mavericks: Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion, Mavericks and click on the Install button. Be sure to select the correct drive to use if you have more than one.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.
This should install the version of OS X that was pre-installed from the factory.

Problem with Rescue and Recovery after installing Norton Internet Security 2010

Hi all.
It's my first time in this forum.
I have a problem, with Rescue and Recovery, after installing Norton Internet Security 2010 on my T43.
The message I get it:
"Rescue and Recovery is unable to back up the file 'C:\Documents and settings\all Users\Application Data\ Norton\ 00000082\00000109\000003c1\cltMLS1.bat' Because the file is either corrupted or being used by another application. Please close any application that could be using the file.
I tried to close the Norton but I couldn't find how.
Tanks

Hi and welcome to the forum,
the reason for this situation is, that the antivir files are protected from being modified.
This is the reason, why this file cannot be backed up. I assume, that you would get much more such messages, as there are surelly multiple files files, that are protected like this.
So the solution is to block folders from being archived. Please start RnR application and in the configuration set this folder as the excluded one.
This will skip the backup of this file and will fix your situation.
Please let me know, if you have covered this.
Cheers

My MacBook Pro is running very hot after lion install. Are there any hardware changes that will help? What can I do to get it back to normal?

My MacBook Pro is running very hot after lion install. Are there any hardware changes that will help? What can I do to get it back to normal?

I get the impression that most of the users on older hardware experiences similar temperature issues on Lion for a long time now. Awaiting for confirmation from the original poster.
In the meantime I'm just cautious with regards to pushing the machine to such extreme temps, since something tells me such behaviour which includes monitor flickering and the likes is nothing but abnormal for any type of use...
Any clues if 10.7.5 does anything on this? If not I'm afraid i see myself going back to SL for good...

No preview displayed in Aperture and Preview after Lion "upgrade"

Hi everyone,
something (well, maybe many things) has been blown by Lion...I'm only just trying to figure out what exactly is.
Generally the system performs well but I have a big issue with previews within Aperture 3 and in Preview/Quicklook itself.
I'm testing Lion onto a late 2009 unibody macbookpro 13", 2.0 ghz, 8gb Ram; Aperture library is managed, around 100gb, all files are from Canon 30D and 350D, plus some jpegs and videos from a Powershot A620 (I didn't test the videos imported in Aperture yet, in SnowLeopard everything was fine).
In Aperture 3 (I have upgraded to 3.1.3 before installing Lion) my Canon 30D files are displayed correctly both in browser and viewer...Canon 350D files (raw images) aren't...well, the small thumbnail in the browser view is looking fine but when I double click to display the large image..it suddenly disappear! gray or black background, no image at all...back to browser view and the small thumbnail correctly display the image.
So i tried to regenerate the preview...nothing, same behaviour...if I press P for quick preview nothing is displayed, I get nothing even if I press M for master image.
Ok, I said...let's try this...I decide to export a photo, as master, onto the desktop...fine, the image icon is good, correctly displaying the image thumbnail...if I select it and press the spacebar i obtain ...absolutely nothing,a gray window that should be my image.
This happens also for the 30D files when I export them ...within Aperture they're good.
I also tried to export a version (jpeg)...all I obtain is a totally black jpeg.
Seems that Preview is not working anymore or uncapable to display any raw format, only jpegs are correctly displayed, I mean original jpeg shot.
I went through all the basic library maintenance for Aperture, repaired system permission before and after Lion installation...nothing changes.
Anyone experiencing a similar behaviour under Lion? Is Preview not working only in my system? Any suggestion?
I'm trying to find something to fix this...I have Time machine backups, Aperture vault backups so reverting back to SL is only a matter of patience and time...but I would like to stick with Lion and keep testing.
Any help or suggestion will be appreciated...I'm also searching for similiar behaviour (mostly for the problem with Preview) in the Lion OSX forum, this is heavily affecting Aperture.
Best regards,
Alberto

I found a solution that worked for me. Seems like my firewall did not accept the afp connection permissions anymore after installing lion... Since everything worked well turning off the firewall.
So if you don't want to keep your firewall disactivated here is what worked for me:
- Leave your firewall activated.
- Turn OFF afp file sharing in the sistem prefs
- Restart your Machine
- Turn ON afp file sharing
- You should now get a message if you want to accept afp connections...
- click YES
Thats it... Everything fine on my network now.

After lion upgrade time capsule no longer backs up

Time capsule no longer will back up after lion upgrade is anyone else having this problem?

The Time Machine application is part of the Lion operating system, so you will likely get a faster and more informed response if you post in the Lion support area for Time Machine. There are a number of posts there with issues similar to yours.
Mac OS X v10.7 Lion
Click on the Refine This List button under the Lion and then click on Time Machine to get to the support area.

Tie Machine no longer backs up after lion install

After Lion install, Time Machine no longer backs up-will start to back up but freezes after a few kb's-spinning clock will spin 24/7 but backup is stalled

See the green box in #D2 in Time Machine - Troubleshooting.

I've had a similar problem. On my first boot up after installing 10.7.4, Firefox would not open. Crashed every time. Safari was not affected. I have no idea if it was related to the flash plugin, but I did install a the latest version of that a couple of weeks ago.
Here's what fixed it: a second boot up.
