After upgrade to Lion I am no longer able to attach files to event

You can open Word files in Pages by default without any problem. Select one of the Word files by clicking once on it in Finder. Press cmd-i to Get Info on the file. In the bottom half of the window that opens, is Open with:. Below that click on the drop down box and select Pages.app. Then click on Change All... and confirm the "Are you sure... " warning. Now, all Word files will open in Pages.

Just upgraded to Lion and can no longer import any .mov files ("file not supported") to 3.1.3. Also can no longer view any .mov or .mp4 files already in library.

Have been using Aperture 3.1.3 with no problems. Importing from a Nikon D80 (RAW & JPEG), Casio (.MOV) and Flip (.mp4). Could import and view all videos without issue prior to Lion upgrade. After Lion installation, can no longer import .mov files (get "file not supported" error) or even view any .mov or .mp4 files currently in library (even though thumbnail is present). Can watch the .mov files directly on my camera using Quicktime in Finder but can't even drag & drop that file into Aperture. Anybody else having similar problems?

Still no resolution and Geniuses at store could not assist. Unfortunately, it looks like not all the applications were ready to support the Lion operating system. We could not import any .mov files, could no longer view any .mov files already in my Aperture library and could not email any .mov files. Totally frustrated. Use Aperture almost daily and can't lose the video functionality. Was also running dog-slow. Constantly looking at the spinning wheel. Geniuses suggested that I wipe out hard drive and reinstall Snow Leopard. Had full backup on external drive with Time Machine.
Not an easy process though...had to reinstall several times (at 5 hours each time) because I continued to have issues. Finally figured out that I needed to delete every backup file from Time Machine on external drive from the date I installed Lion because some of the hidden files were still migrating back to Snow Leopard.
I had to:
1. Delete all time machine backup files from date/time of Lion installation forward
2. Do "clean" installation of Snow Leopard (wiped hard drive using disk utility and booted with Snow Leopard disc)
3. Chose option to reinstall from backup off Time Machine which eventually got me back to Snow Leopard desktop
4. Deleted Aperture program and reinstalled (I had to install Aperture 2 and then install Aperture 3 upgrade.
5. Reinstalled iLife apps
5. Applied all Apple updates available (again this took a few hours because there were several updates from Snow Leopard's original release plus Aperture 3 and other application updates)
Still doing some tweaking on some of my other apps but got everything back to where I originally was. Now plan to wait on a few version updates from Lion before reinstalling.
I am one of Apple's biggest fans, but was very disappointed in the fact that I lost functionality in one of their own pieces of software (which I use the most!) by installing Lion.

I've upgraded to Lion and can no longer access Microsoft Word files. HELP!

What is the easiest or cheapest solution to enable me to access files from Microsoft word now that I've upgraded to Lion?
Thanks for your efforts,

Quark XPress 8 has a few of those PPC only tools, too. Like they they forgot to update them or something.
They were already at v9 when Lion came out and decided that official support would be for v9 only; see here.
According to this, the only thing PPC in v9 and v8 are video encoding for SWF export -- looks like an XTension according to System Profiler. Given their position of not officially supporting v8.x in Lion, that will probably always remain broken in v8. I use v8.5.1 in Lion; works fine for me -- I don't do any SWF exporting.
I have a few other things on my MBP, recently upgraded to Lion; I upgraded just about every app to the latest versions with exception of Quark. The only other PPC things besied that XTension are some scripts from Adobe Illustrator CS5.1, which got installed with CS 5.5. I guess Adobe forgot to upgrade those. No biggie, I never use them.

No longer able to attach files

I received a note from 2 separate users today stating they aren't able to upload files to our wiki server anymore. When they try the receive the error of: The file you selected is too large (maximum file size is %i Bytes)
I logged into the server and under the settings my maximum attachment size has changed to 0 MB. I change it to 300MB and hit save, and it reverts to 0 again.
I then checked the /etc/wikid/wikid.conf and the maxAttatchmentSize key is set to 314572800... but i still am not able to upload any files.
Any ideas why I can't make the changes to the max file size stick in the gui? and why can't we upload files no matter what the setting in the wikid.conf file is set to?
Please help,
thanks,
neil

There was a discussion posted on this a while back:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1545970&start=0&tstart=0
I get this problem on my PPC, but not my Intel machine. Instead of using Server Admin, best to set this value (maxAttachmentSize) in the /etc/wikid/wikid.conf file. The value in Server Admin will still show '0', but I was still able to attach files up to the size I specified in the wikid.conf file.

After upgrading to lion I can use my printer HP Laserjet 1200

After upgrading to lion I can no longer print to the copier on our local network. Tried everything but did not work. Please help

If you just upgraded to Lion, you get 90 days of complimentary support, so don't be bashful. Call 'em. I called Apple support and they resolved this specific issue. We first verified that a newly created Admin account could create and edit Address Book. When it did, we rightly assumed corruption in the Address Book Library files.
Here are the steps from that point.
Back up your Address Book: From Address Book, choose File > Export and choose Export vCard to a desitnation of your choosing.
Close Address Book.
From the Desktop, Hold Option and click Go in the menu at the top of the screen.
Choose Library. If this is not an option, you are not pressing the Option key or you are not an Admin.
Expand the Application Support folder and drag the AddressBook folder to the Trash. Close window.
Open Address Book and import your address book vCard.
Lion has changes that remind me of Windows 2000 where folders are hidden even to Admins. Apple is purposefully hiding files and folders they don't think anyone should be seeing. If you want Admin priviledges you had in Leopard or earlier versions, you need to upgrade to a Root user...highly not recommended.

Problem with colors after upgrading to Lion

After upgrading to Lion, I could no longer distinguish between very light greys (e.g., #f8f8f8) and white (#ffffff) on my laptop monitor. The difference is readily apparent on many websites.
If I plug my laptop into an external monitor, the problem goes away, and stays away even AFTER unplugging it.
Neither recalibrating the color profile nor rebooting have any effect.
Any ideas?

iPhoto is not part of Lion. It comes with a Mac. So, the version you own is the one that came with your Mac. If you want the newest version, you'll have to purchase it from the App Store.

After upgrading to lion 10.7 I can no longer use my canoscan 9950f, why?

After upgrading to lion 10.7 my canoscan 9950f scanner is no longer recognized. Have I lost thye use of this scanner by going to 10.7?

Not likely. Make sure the scanner is still available in System Preferences > Print & Scan. You might have to delete the old scanner and add it again if your computer cannot "find" it.
Before you do that, and while you are in Print & Scan, see if you can get it to scan by selecting the Scan tab.
In Lion, all scanning functions have been relegated to Preview, the Print & Scan preference pane, and Image Capture.

Back to my mac no longer works after upgrading to Lion

Back to my Mac no longer works after upgrading to Lion
After I upgraded my home machines to Lion, I can no longer access them from my work computer, which is running Snow Leopard. When they were both Snow leopard, it worked fine. How can I get them working again? I don't have control over the OS on my work computer. Is it necessary for me to downgrade all of my home computers to Snow leopard in order to get them talking again?
Additionally the binoculars icon appears in the menu bar all of the time. In previous versions, this would only happen when somebody connected to my machine. Could these problems be related?

OK, so further investigation has addressed the BTMM issue on a remote machine.
With all machines running lion, I was having issues trying to log in to a standard user headless machine already running. In Snow Leopard, I had no issues with this since you can log in via screen sharing using an admin login that's running a standard login. Lion allows multiple accounts to be signed in which is handy since you can now run virtual sessions. This means you can admin the remote computer without bothering the remote user.
The problem was that now logging in using admin login brings up the admin account (which makes sense) instead of the desktop to the standard login. I applied a similar solution to a problem that was related to screen sharing I found on this board. What I believe to be the fix is to add the standard user to the screen sharing user list. Then screen share to the remote account using the standard user credentials.
So on the remote computer, in System Settings->Sharing->Screen Sharing, add the standard user to be allowed access. Previously I only had admins. This may not be an ideal solution for what I'm trying to do since the remote computers primary login is the standard user to be used as a common computer, but it now works so I am happy with it.
Now my only "problem" is my AEBS complaining about my MobileMe credentials, but it doesn't appear to have an impact on BTMM performance so I'll quietly wait for a fix down the road.

After upgrading to Lion, not able to use Quicken 2007. Get the following message: PowerPC applications are no longer supported. Anyone has a solution?

After upgrading to Lion, not able to use a PowerPC Application (Quicken 2007). Any solution?

Quicken Essentials 2010 has less features than Quciken 2007. Keeping track of investments is one feature I need and Quicken Essentials does not include that function. I may have to consider others financial software, such as iBank4, Money4, iFinance, and Money Well.

Can no longer connect to SMB server after upgrading to Lion

We have a MacBook Pro that was running 10.6.8. The user upgraded to Lion, and can no longer connect to a Windows 2008 file server. (We have two offices connected through a hardware tunnel, but i do not think this is the issue.)
We have tried to connect in the Finder (smb://[email protected]/). It asks for usr / pass, and then just hangs on "Connecting to server"
We can ping, have tested these credentials on other computers, and tried other credentials on this computer, to no avail. Furthermore, we installed a fresh copy of Lion on another computer, and successfully connected, so I don't think the issue is with Lion itself.
There must be something from the previous install that did not "upgrade" properly, but I don't know which file / setting it could be. It is system-wide setting, as we have also tried another user account on this same Mac.
We've also run Onyx to fix permissions, clean out all caches, etc.
Any idea what file i can change, modify, or delete?
Your thoughts would be much appreciated.
Thanks.

Yes, but the issue is not with Lion directly; there seems to be something with the upgraded system, perhaps a legacy setting or pref... I've scoured the system to no avail. I'm actually about to reinstall 10.6 - wasted too much time on this issue.
Thanks for your help.

My iMac is no longer visible on my local network after upgrade to lion

Prior to upgrading from Snow Leopard to Lion, my iMac and it's shared folders were visible under the "Network" folder of my Windows 7 PC.
After upgrading to Lion, I can't see my iMac from my Windows 7 PC or, obviously it's shared folders... I suspect there is a configuration setting somewhere that needs to be modified, but I just can't seem to find it.... any suggestions/direction would be greatly appreciated.
Ellen

appears that apple has changed SMB code, and now its not possible login from windows on mac.
i installed snow leopard and now works fine.
apple is capable to make it run paying new license of smb code, but isnted of this, apple has created new protocol smbx and now, all others need to adapt your code to apple..
bad movement.. i am thinking sell imac and no back to apple anymore..

After upgrading to Lion, Printer error messages.

After upgrading to Lion, I suddenly see the following error message whenever I print to my HP printer: "You can't open the application PrinterProxy because PowerPC applications are no longer supported." Now, my document will print, but I can no longer adjust settings. Help??

PowerPC applications are no longer supported under Lion. If you can't find Lion drivers on HP's website, you either need to go back to Snow Leopard or start looking for a newer, compatible printer.

After upgrading to Lion should I have tatty grey screen on opening with boxes for password user?

After upgrading to Lion on Wednesday last I now have a tatty grey screen on booting-up with the two boxes for user name and password.Gone is the old blue screen. Does anyone else have a grey opening screen?
Also this evening on booting the grey screen appeared but I could not immediately type any info into either box.After switching on/off several times I gave up and left the iMAC on with an inactive grey screen.About five minutes later the HP printer went through a re-calibration or cleaning process,of its own accord, and I noticed that the cursor on the screen had moved of its own accord.I then found that I could insert info into the two boxes and here I am with the iMAC open.Anone come across this issue?

Hello again Gary,
After trying your PRAM suggestion, everything was OK however, when I restarted my iMac the next day, the same Grey Screen apppeared whith the request for user name and password?
This has repeated for the last 3 days!
I have tried the Utility to check the HD "Verify Disk Permissions" which shows a long list of "faults"? and I have done this twice now.
Also I have to do the PRAM start-up in order to get online and use other programs. I get frequent messages that say my "Applications" are for the wrong OS?
After using the PRAM keyboard start-up I get a screen with a "Bar" similar to the Windows XP start-up proocess and a grey blob moves along this "Bar" until the iMac starts.
On one site it mentioned that this iMac may need an "Firmware" update/correction; however I can not find any Firmware to download for this machine.
My iMac is a 21.5" Model A1311.
Do I need to do a complete Format of the HDD and re-install Leopard and then try Lion again?
Very frustrated,
Maureen

Time machine stopped working after upgrading to lion

After upgrading to lion my time machine has not been able to back up. It takes a long time preparing and trying to back up and then stops with an error (without an error message being shown to the user).

I finally figured out what was the problem. The disk utility tool found an error in the backup disk and fixed it. I guess some error occurred while the upgrade to Lion was on the way.
