After upgrading to Lion 10.7.1 - iPhoto and other programs slow to open and other problems

Am I alone - having lots of problems with 10.7.1.  iPhoto is slow and when I export photos it exists iphoto then I restart and sometimes it will works.  Safari is slower also. Sometimes it justs hangs and I have to force quit.  iTunes is also slower to open. Almost everytime it goes to a checking library for a long time. 
Should I go back to previous version? Will I lose my purchase. I do not have disks for the upgrade.  I do not want to go back - I have a lot of data and always fear of losing it. 
Think Apple knows about the problems or am I the only one and have some other problem?

olegz,
First, thanks for the clear graphics.
Authorization seems to be the hangup here. But instead of dealing with the complications of conflicts in authorization, which might take several weeks to months to iron out - site by site - I urge you to follow a different path.
It looks like you're using Chrome. For this site alone, use either Safari or Firefox, both of which are more likely to have plugins to deal with authorizing your site. Safari is already on your computer, but v.3 of Firefox is stable, too. Frankly, I can't tell you what specifically might be the problem here; but switching browsers will solve the immediate problem.
Sound good? Not so good? Post in this thread so that I or others can solve your problem once and for all!

  • After upgrading to Lion, wifi seems to be much slower, is this caused by lion?

    Hello All,
    After upgrading to Lion, my MMA wifi seems to work much slower than before, and also the start up seems to be slower too. Is that caused by upgrading to Lion? Please help

    Give it a few days and a dozen or so restarts.
    The software may be updating Spotlight indexing and a few other "housekeeping" tasks.
    My upgrade on a 2010 Air resulted in a slowdown at first, but then began to return to normal. At first, the boot time doubled, but within a couple of days, it was back to a 12 second boot.

  • Macbook Pro overheat after upgrading to lion

    After upgrading to lion my 2011 macbook pro is a lot slower and overheats so much anyone else have this problem?

    I have not tried reinstalling lion or cloning my hard drive, but in another support thread here, I was told to reset my PRAM to solve another problem I was having.  This actually fixed my fan problem (now it is running at 2000 rpm with six applications running).  Once you do this, your spotlight index will be erased so for the first hour or so after resetting your PRAM, it will be blazing away.  However, mine stopped after the spotlight index finished.
    Resetting PRAM and NVRAM
    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.

  • After upgrade to Lion, iPhoto will not save events nor save albums after created.

    After upgrade to Lion, iPhoto will not save events nor save albums after created. Once iPhoto is shut down and re-launched, albums and events created no longer exist. How can this be fixed?
    Also, when attempting to create cards, iPhoto freezes.

    Option 1
    Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
    If that fails:
    Option 2
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one. .

  • After upgrading to Yosemite I have lost iPhoto. It has a cross through it in Finder, but I clicked on it and I was directed to download the latest version from the App store, but it is not available in the Australian store. Can anyone help?

    After upgrading to Yosemite I have lost iPhoto. It has a cross through it in Finder, but I clicked on it and I was directed to download the latest version from the App store, but it is not available in the Australian store. Can anyone please help? I am not an advanced user and I would like my photos back, having had no idea I would lose iPhoto in the upgrade!

    Thanks petermac87...but for some reason, the only purchases showing are OS. So assuming iPhoto is in Mountain Lion, I was hoping to look under Hidden Items there as you suggested, but there is no option for that. Only option is to download Mountain Lion again, not iPhoto specifically. Any ideas welcome!

  • 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, I went to open Mail and received the message that it needed to upgrade my Mail database - this may take a few minutes. The bar shows it is about 1/5 along and has been there for over 10 hours. Help!

    After upgrading to Lion, I went to open Mail and received the message that it needed to upgrade my Mail database - this may take a few minutes. The bar shows it is about 1/5 along and has been there for over 10 hours.
    I tried quitting and starting again but it just jumps back to the same spot.

    It is quite large, but I have tried two of the fixes suggested and things now seem to be moving along.
    (I was unable to seach properly before which is why I posted the question - it was a bit of a panic)

  • After upgrading to Lion, the Finder will increase the virtual memory while using external HD

    after upgrading to Lion, the Finder will increase the "virtual memory size" while using external HD. I check it using Activity Monitor and found that "Finder" wll increase the "Virtual Memory Size" and "Private Memory Size". and then after a while. the system told me my HD is full and hanging there.
    My External HD is 1TB. and I have installed new version Paragon NTFS for Mac V.9.01. I am not sure it is related or not.
    but I attached my external HD. the "Finder" will start to increase the "Virtual Memory Size".
    please help out this case and solve this issue.
    thank you !!!

    The one has nothing to do with the other. Virtual memory size and Private memory size are used by developers to analyze their software. it has nothing to do with anything related to the user.

  • I can't hear sound after upgrading to lion

    I have this little annoying problem with my iMac after upgrading to Lion OSX. After waking up my iMac I can't hear any sound from internal speakers, ie: only video on Youtube, but no sound, but whilst pressing volume up/down button I can hear beep. When it happens So I have to restart system everytime it happens. Anyone any ideas or maybe someone out there has the same problem?

    I'he double checked everything, only 1 output device (internal speakers). As I said before, it is weird because I can play iTunes and can hear "beep", but neither youtube sound, nor game sound or internet radio seems to be working, no sound whatsoever. But this time system didn't go to sleep, it has just happened suddenly.... Restart again then!

  • After upgrading to lion Time Capsule is solid yellow

    Hi
    After upgrading to lion I am experiencing a lot of problems with time caspule
    1. backup fail: it starts and than fails (error message and yellow warning triangle)
    2. unable to connect to TC disk, neither from airport utility, nor from Finder
    3. Airport Utility hangs while trying to manually modify configuration (rainbow weel).
    After a lot of reboot,  reset, disk rename, time capsule reconfiguration etc etc AND TC DISK REINITIALIZATION (ALLA BACKUP LOST!)
    now backup seems to work and I can browse files in Time Machine
    BUT
    Time Capsule is a steady YELLOW and Airport utility says there is an error on disk (The disk is not working)
    Can somebody help me.
    This all happened after Lion installation. Not a problem before
    Franco

    Hi William
    The disk is the internal Time Capsule Disk. It's a 1Tb model.
    My iMac is localized in Italian
    So I write here the Italian message and a possible translation
    The first error message I get opening Airport Utility is:
    Utility Airport ha trovato una Time Capsule 802.11n (2.a generazione) che segnala problemi
    (AirPort Utility has found a Time Capsule 802.11n (2nd generation), which indicates problems)
    If I press on "Continue" I enter a page that says
    "Problema 1 di 1: Il disco Time Capsule non funziona"
    (Problem 1 of 1: The Time Capsule Disk doesn't work)
    "Si è verificato un problema con il Disco Time Capsule. Collega un disco rigido USB al tuo disco Time Capsule e utilizza il pannello Dischi di Utility Airport per archiviare i dati ed eseguire il backup."
    (There was a problem with the Time Capsule disk. Connect a USB hard drive to your Time Capsule disk and use Disk Utility Airport panel to store data and run the backup.)
    While if I go to the manual settings and I select the disk,
    on the disk data info I have
    Stato S.M.A.R.T.: Non funziona
    (S.M.A.R.T status: Not working)
    As I said before, apart from that problem, everything else (time machine, backups and file recovery) looks working good (until proven otherwise eh eh)
    I don't know if to worry about the disk but I find suspicious that everything just started after Lion installation.
    I called the call center and they just said to return the TC for disk repair (have to pay, warranty expired).
    I told them about Lion installation fact and they said it looks like a coincidence but actually it is likely that after a disk initialization or a big amount of data writing the TC disk may break (WHAT ?!?)  and the Apple guy even suggested me to buy an external disk that is less expensive and give less problem than a TC !!!!
    (I can agree on that now, but I was surprised to hear that from them )
    Thank you very much for any help.
    I hope this info helps

  • After upgrading to Lion, FaceTime does not give me a login screen.  Help!

    After upgrading to Lion, I tried to use FaceTime for the first time.  The login screen never launches.  What can I do to get a login screen?

    update: It seems like the XCode update did interfere with itunes. I reran the XCode install this time with itunes not running. This seems to update all necessary drivers and Library items correctly.
    After this IPad and IPod touch were working fine again.

    Unfortunately not. Lion has made many adjustments to the previous system. Try opening your pdfs in keynote.
