Anyone else installing Lion with a Drobo FS?

Yesterday I wrote a question because filing tasks on my iMac with Lion newly installed had slowed to a glacial pace. Several solutions were suggested, the bulk of which involved erasing my hard drive and starting over. I took quite a bit off of the drive, but later discovered that the issue seems to have been an unhappy interaction with my Drobo FS. I got the clue when attempting to access my Drobo with another computer running Snow Leopard. It showed 0 files on the Drobo. Ah ha! Lion reorganized them according to the new format. When I turned off the Drobo (which I had to do since Lion would not let go of it) and rebooted, the problem was solved. Now I'll check with Drobo to see what they have to say. It happened, by the way, after I installed Drobo's latest upgrade. Have others of you had a similar problem? a solution? I'd still like to use my Drobo with this machine.

I have had problems with my Drobo FS with Lion (and with Snow Leopard) with their latest release, thus, i backed off to my prior version.  The basic problem I had was dismal performance backing up to the Drobo with Time Machine - I spoke with their QA folks who confirmed to me that there are (or were back in September) performance problems under Snow Leopard.   I have not yet upgraded to Lion because of that reason and because I'm still waiting to hear that Microsoft has fixed their crash problem with Office 2011 Communicator under Lion.
Hope this is helpful.

    Happy to report that iTunes Match has returned to working like normal on iTunes 10.7 on my computer today. If any iTunes engineers read this thread, I really appreciate the fix.
    Has it returned to normal for you?

  • Is anyone else having issues with Aperture 3 since downloading Lion?

    Hi All,
    Is anyone else having issues with Aperture 3 after downloading the Lion update? Aperture 3 is running so ssssslllloooowwww !!! I am a sports photographer who needs this to run the way it used to with Snow Leopard. Any suggestions?????
    Thanks,
    George

    It was one of the many issues I had when I was running Lion. I watched the beach balls and the very, very slow rendering of image edits and restored back to my SL clone immediately. It was looking like Aperture 2 and my sanity just couldn't take that again.
    I have to assume that Apple must have tested Lion with Aperture 3, but you wouldn't know it from how it behaved on my system.

  • Is anyone else having issues with airplay after the Lion update?

    Is anyone else having issues with airplay after the Lion update? It sees the libaray but won't connect...

    I'm having the same issue.  So far all lion has done for me is make all my microsoft office documents un-readable until I upgrade (about $150) and lose my home share capabilities...can anyone assist with this?

  • Is Anyone Else Having Problems With 10.6.1 Freezing?

    Is anyone else having problems with iTunes 10.6.1 freezing? On a perfectly-maintained Windows PC, 10.6.1 is suddenly freezing for no reason. This means that my iPhone or iPad can't be synchronized.

    From my experience, involving three hours of troubleshooting using Apple's tutorials, without help from Apple:
    1. Do the steps here to remove and reinstall all Apple software on your machine, "Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP," at http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1925.
    2. If you care, they don't tell you or ask you to uninstall MobileMe in those steps.
    3. After I did as they wrote to do, iTunes wouldn't recognize either my iPhone or iPad. On my own I found that Applie's software reinstallation failed to install the Apple Mobile Device Software Driver. So I followed the steps at, "iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows," which took me 25 minutes alone to find. See http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538
    Those steps solved everything and iTunes is now back to normal.

  • Has anyone else encountered problems with Adobe CMM clobbering Photoshop add-in filters?

    I recently tried to install Adobe CMM, as a pop-up window suggested after I installed Photoshop CS5 on a new computer, running Win7x64 Ultimate. Before trying to install CMM, my Akvis Sketch Plug-In for Photoshop worked fine. Afterwards, Akvis Sketch runs under the filters menu, but will not accept mouse clicks from my Wacom tablet. Prior to Adobe CMM, all was fine. Somehow, the frustrating attempt to use Adobe CMM broke links to Akvis Sketch.
    By the way, Adobe CMM setup tried to run and vanished without a trace - no indication of success or failure. CMM doesn't show on my control panel as installed software, so I can't de-install it.
    I did un-install Akvis Sketch and re-install it. No luck as a filter, nor as a stand-alone program.
    Additional point of interest - a second identical software/hardware workstation continues to run Akvis Sketch just fine because we didn't try installing Adobe CMM on that machine. It certainly looks like CMM is the culprit here.
    Since Akvis Sketch is broken as a stand-alone, I doubt that de-activating, uninstalling and then re-installing, re-activating Photoshop CS5 will help, but it will take a lot of time to recreate actions and re-install other add-ins, plus preferences settings.
    Has anyone else encountered problems with Adobe CMM clobbering Photoshop add-in filters, and have you found a work-around?

    Thanks for your response. Recent evidence points to Wacom's tablet driver, not the plug-in.
    Fact #1 - another identical system with ms mouse worked fine so I swapped out the Wacom tablet and bingo, the Akvis plug-in works again.
    Fact #2 - So does Amazon's Kindle for PC app, which also quit working after running the Adobe CMM setup I'd downloaded.
    Suggestion - since there's a legacy for CS5 users getting the "you should download CMM" pop-up, yet no need to do this, maybe Adobe should remove the CMM download page from its website - or flag this download as unneccessary for photoshop users. All Best, Charles Pierce.

  • Anyone else having problems with popups since the new security upgrade? can't get rid of them

    anyone else having problems with popups since the new security upgrade? can't get rid of them

    You may have inadvertently installed adware. You do not need to download or install anything to fix it. It ought not to be related to any Apple security update.
    For a description of how this may have occurred, how to avoid it in the future, and for Apple's recommended actions read How to install adware. Apple's instructions are linked in the Recovery Procedure near the end of that document. Read and follow them carefully. Pay particular attention to the easily overlooked passages directing you to restart your Mac when required.

  • Does anyone else have problems with iTunes 10.3.1 BETA?, Does anyone else have problems with iTunes 10.3.1 BETA?

    Installed iTunes 10.3.1 on Mac and then all tunes vanished from my iPhone 4.  I hooked the phone to the Mac and Synced them together and everything returned to iPhone.  Next morning the problem was back.  I had to delete iTunes and reinstall an older version from my Time Machine backup.  It now appears to be working.  Has anyone else had problems with this?

    This forum is for questions from those managing sites on iTunes U, Apple's service for colleges and universities to post educational material in the iTunes Store. You'll be most likely to get help with this issue if you ask in the general iTunes for Mac forums.
    BTW, iTunes 10.3.1 is not a beta release. Only the iTunes in the Cloud service is beta.
    Regards.

  • 2 hrs & 1.8GB lost as illust CC download crashes. Anyone else have problems with this?

    2 hrs & 1.8GB lost as illust CC download crashes. Anyone else have problems with this? (It was completely downloaded & just about to install and then it dropped out)

    Bootup holding CMD+r, or the Option/alt key to boot from the Restore partition & use Disk Utility from there to Repair the Disk, then Repair Permissions.
    If that doesn't work...
    To find out if it's system wide or user specific, try this...
    Open System Preferences>Users & Groups, unlock the lock, click on the little plus icon, make a new admin account, log out & into the new account.
    Does it work in the new account?

  • Is anyone else seeing this with the report toolkit

    I am using LV 8.6 and using the LV report functions inside a VI. This VI is my main VI for the TS user interface. What is happening is, I built my main vi into an executable and then I am building a deployment in TS with the executeable included. I get a tremendous amount of errors when I do this saying that the vi's that are part of the report generation in LV are not able to be loaded because they have no front panel or block diagram. So I did some investigating and sure enough the toolkit was changed to Object Oriented for LV 8.6. This explains why i can get it to build on a machine with LV8.5 installed instead of 8.6.
    I was just wondering if anyone has had this problem with the toolkit and TS.
    I also had a meeting with Brian Buress (field engineer for NI) and Jeff Phillips (LabVIEW product manager) they saw this activity (they were here and I showed it to them) and they could not explain it.
    The problem has to lye in the fact that the report VI'S are now object oriented.
    Is anyone else have trouble with this toolkit.
    Joe.

    Yes, I also had a problem with the report toolkit.

  • Anyone else has issues with BC App Store?

    Hi All,
    Has anyone else had issues with the BC App Store?
    Long story short I hope:
    We purchased Client Trainer through the App Store, the app didn't get applied to our account and we waited over an hour before contacting support. Once we contacted support, we were told that the Database on the server had issues and that was the reason why the App wasn't added, but it was now fixed and we needed to the Fresh Install. We logged in and could see that both the Update and Fresh Install buttons where available, we clicked on Fresh Install the OAuth window opened up with the App Name:  Client Trainer (version 1.0.2), App Developer: BC Gurus and Website: which meant to be a live search, we double clicked the input field, nothing happened... Began typing the name of the website... Nothing happened. We then tried a different web browser, nothing happened. We contacted BC support thinking that because it was an OAuth issue to contact them but no, it's not we needed to contact BC App Store support who is owned by BC Gurus. A few emails back and forward between us and support and as I write this post we get another email saying "i have to extend this to Adobe. I should hear back from them early next week. Thank you for your patience.".
    I'm really not happy with the fact that BC App Store is maintained by a 3rd party provider, BC support won't help, BC Gurus can't do anything until Adobe helps them with the issue. I was really looking forward to developing BC Apps, however this has made me not want to develop and I think Adobe need to take over the running of the BC App Store if they want it to take off.

    Hi Kati,
    Thanks for the notes on your issue. I completely understand your frustration and apologize for any inconvenience this is causing your business.
    I have found your tickets and am looking into the issue. I can assure you that we take running the App Store very seriously and have worked hard with Adobe engineering to make the purchase and distribution of apps seamless. You are right that some of the issues that come in have to be resolved in collaboration with BC engineering and that is the case with this issue. I'm not sure why you are not getting any sites in the oAuth window - but I know that we'll be able to resolve that as soon as possible. We're still in the early days of the project and continue to come across edge cases that cause problems. We want these resolved for good.
    In the future, if you could direct all App Store related issues directly to BC App Store support, that will save a step if these types of issues come up in the future. The general retail BC support has little to no connection to the under-workings of the App Store - in these early stages, it's imperative that my team is able to get the issue as soon as possible in order to investigate and escalate to our contacts in BC engineering, if the issue is on their side.
    While I understand your concerns about a 3rd party running the marketplace, I hope that we have been able to prove our business in the BC market over the last 6 years. Not only that, but I think most partners would agree they would rather have BC engineers focused on core platform than operation of the App Store.
    I hope that you will still consider developing apps for the platform in the future. If you have any questions, don't hesitate to email me directly: [email protected]
    Thanks again for your patience on this issue.

  • Does anyone else have trouble with the button on I pad to access other apps

    Does anyone else have trouble with the button on I pad to access other apps

    Hello, Kevandsheila. 
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities. 
    Here are some troubleshooting steps that I could recommend when experiencing Home button issues.  The article below is labeled for the iPhone, but the steps are the same for your iPad. 
    The Home button is slow to respond
    If the Home button is slow to respond when exiting one application, try another application.
    If the issue exists only in certain applications, try removing and reinstalling those applications. Get further assistance in installing and troubleshooting applications.
    If the issue continues, Try turning iPhone off and then on again. If the iPhone will not restart, try resetting it.
    If the issue is still happening, try to restore the iPhone.
    Seek service is the issue is still occurring.
    The Home button isn't working
    Put the iPhone to sleep.
    Wait a couple of seconds.
    Press the Home button.
    iPhone should wake up.
    If iPhone does not wake up, then iPhone should be serviced.
    If the issue persists after all the steps have been processed see the last section labeled issue not resolved.

  • Has anyone else experienced problems with the disc burner/driver software not being found?

    I am trying to burn music onto a disc and it is telling me that the disc burner/driver software has not been found. Has anyone else experienced this with their MacBook Pro?

    SuperDrives wear out - it seems that yours might be on the verge of a mechanical failure. I'd just replace it, buying a new drive from Other World Computing and installing it yourself (because Apple would charge a small fortune).

  • Is anyone else having problems with syncing your phone & iPad since the last update?

    is anyone else having problems with syncing your phone & iPad since the last update?

    Here's the problems I'm having with iPad 2 and iOS 5.1:
    Okay ... so, because I had less than a 1 Gig left (as reported by iTunes) on my 64Gig iPad, and the majority of the space was being used by "Photos" ... I decided to not keep my PC photos directory in sync with my iPad (Windows 7). So, in iTunes, I unchecked the option to sync computer photos to the iPad. I got the standard popup warning message that my iPad would not contain those albums after the next sync. I clicked OK and proceeded to sync expecting to have lots of space freed up.
    But weird things happened after syncing.
    (1) I still have all my photos on my iPad .... nothing disappeared at all. (And performed multiple syncs to try to force the change ... still nothing has been removed from my iPad.)
    (2) Somehow, I gained 20 Gigs of free space, as reported by both iTunes and my iPad as well.
    Anyone know what's going on here?
    I do have iMovie and another movie making app, Avid. Both of these contain projects that refer to photos in albums that were supposed to be removed after the sync ... but I can't imagine that would keep them there. Anyone have any ideas?
    I also installed the iPad app, iPhoto. I noticed that it build a directory listing and continuously want to update that listing from time to time.
    Would any of these things cause the iTunes photo sync changes to be ignored? And, how did I get free space to report back with an additional 19Gig or so, when there's no change at all.
    Unsure what's going on ...
