Applications quit after installing lion

for the past few weeks, every one of my applications on my macbook have been "quitting unexpectedly" numerous times a day. why is this happening?! how can I fix it??

Can you be more specific, please? Which apps, for example? Is it just 3rd-party Apps or Apple's own apps, or both? Can we have some names.
Also, can you reproduce the problem at will? I mean is there something you can do that shouldn't but always will crash the app every time?
Details please, the answer is always in the details!

After installing Lion, my microsoft office suite doesn't work anymore, and show this message: Application Power PC no longer available. How can I resolve it?

Is there any possibilty to recover the use of my Microsoft Office suite, which doesn't work anymore after installing Lion?
The programs display this error message: "no puede abrir la aplicación Microsoft Excel (o any other) porque las aplicaciones Power PC ya no son compatibles"
thanks for your help

You will need to upgrade your suite of MS programs.
Older suites, like MS Office 2004, use program versions written for Macs with PPC processors. In order to use those apps in pre-Lion OS's on an Intel-processor machine, it was necessary to install Rosetta, software designed just for the purpose of using PPC-apps on an Intel machine.
Unfortunately, Lion does not support Rosetta, so those apps no longer work.
Solution - update them to a version which will work in Lion, such as the MS Office 2008 suite, or newer if available.

After installing lion, my computer is running slower and having delays connecting to network

please help me resolve my problem. after installing lion my system was running great for about a week. suddenly it is having trouble connecting to the internet, running slow and the history pages are appearing without asking for them.. unable to get my homepage when opening up, just get a white screen. if i go to the history, i can get the homepage. Only able to access my homepage by waiting for ever or getting it from the history.
please help

Peter, thank you for responding. No, I am not referring to the initial start up. I downloaded Yosemite over a week ago and feel it is running very slow when switching websites. Also, I have experienced numerous hangups causing me to force quite much more than before.
I just cleared my Safari history (I am guessing that is what you meant by "clean the old internet-caches" and restarted Safari. I will see how it goes.
I uses a file called "Desktop" from my IPhoto library for my desktop pictures. It contains about 20 pictures. I configured it that way in Preferences, but it seems whenever I shut down and restart my computer it reverts to the generic picture of Yosemite. As for the question mark and "Update Needed" showing on my startup log in screen, I think I fixed that by changing my password in Preferences.
No that I have cleared the Safari history, I will see how things go.

Trustme.app ? - Multiple occurrences in launchpad after installing Lion

After installing lion multiple occurrences of this app in Launchpad have appeared.
I've never seen them before.
What are they?
Clicking on it pops up a message saying that the app cannot be opened because of a problem, and to check whether it is compatible with this version of osx.
The report it wants to send to apple has the following info:

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.

Garbled text in Safari after installing Lion

After installing Lion, Safari now displays many pages with what appears to be missing font, garbled text. Many sites I've visted in the past (including my bank) just have "AAAAAAAA" wherever there's supposed to be text.
My first thought is either missing font or font clash. I never had this under Snow Leopard. Any ideas?

Abiola O wrote:

There are two problems that leads to this.
Mismatching permissions
Corrupted cache entry's
First you should try to clear the safari cache.
To do so, click on the Safari menu bar at Safari and choose there empty cache.
If that does not solve the garbled fonts, perform a permission repair on your system disk, using the Disk Utility.
Before doing that, close ALL running applications.
Ignore upcoming messages like "could not repair on file XY" while performing permission repair, cause this will happen as you perform the task on a running system and opened files can not get changed.
If the problem persits, report back here.
I recommend to perform anyway a permission repair after every major update, cause during the update process, very often file permissions get crumbled. This will also solve some other issues after system upgrades.

Sound Problems After Installing Lion

I see many are having issues with sound after installing Lion. I have sound and then will lose sound after closing and reopening. I have to restart to restore sound. This is getting old quick. Does anyone know a fix or if one is coming? Thanks!

Not sure how much it helps, but here is my experience:
I have found that after a while, midi-style sounds stop playing. Most obvious to me is the crinkle tune when throwing away trash, or the click when placing something into the trash. When these sounds stop playing, I can still set the volume (and the up/down volume sounds will play) but the midi tracks don't start playing.
A while back I was hunting for a solution to this problem and rebooted and messed around, etc, etc. One person suggested changing the midi format since they knew there was a bug in the midi playback in Lion (a beta comment I think). So I used the Audio MIDI Setup application to change the Built-In Output format to 2ch-32bit float. For a while the sounds were back.
Just now, I noticed that they had disappeared again, so I went back to Audio MIDI Setup and changed it back to 2ch-24bit Integer. All of a sudden, a stream of old sounds started playing - presumably everything that had not been correctly played for a while.
Not sure if it will work again, but next time the sound vanishes, I will try to change the format again and report back what happens. My guess is that just changing the format will cause the queue to reset and play any old sounds. Then the sounds will work for a while until the bug is triggered again. Perhaps the workaround for now is to just keep flipping the Ouput MIDI format?

My system preference, powner off, restart disappeared after installing lion twice! Anybody can help?

After installing Lion on my Imac, the System Preference option in the apple menu (Apple sign on top left side of desktop) has disappeared. In addition, the power off, restart options are gone too. I have reinstalled the Lion twice but the problem hasn't been resolved yet. This is happening when I am logged into adm. user. In other users account, the menu seems to be ok. Any suggestions or recommendation to help me fix this issue?

Let me clarify the issue again:
A number of items have gone missing from my apple menu: Software Update, System Preference, Dock, Recent, Restart, and Shut Down are gone.
All that's left are About, Location, Force Quit, Sleep, and Log Out. Can anybody help?

My iPhoto doesn't work after installing lion?

My Iphoto doesn't work after installing lion.
it suggest that I have to instal iphoto again.
where can I find this

If it suggests that you install iPhoto again, install iPhoto again. In your Macs Box that it came in there should be 2 Discs, one is an Applications CD (You need this one) And another is the Mac OS X.
Insert your Applications CD and hold C while the computer is starting up, then you will be walked through the installation of Applications.

Macbook pro won't reboot after installing lion

After installing Lion on a 2007 MacBook pro, it won't reboot. Just gets to the gray screen with the spinning wheel. Have tried re-installing and disk repair to no avail. Anyone else figured out how to fix?

Lion only runs on Intel based systems which have to be core2duo. with a minimum of 2GB RAM.
If these is given on your system, in most cases it comes from running old PPC-Applications which are not longer supported since Lion.
Try to start your MB in "Safe Mode" by holding option key (alt) imediately after first chime and disable / delete this applications.

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.

After installing Lion, can't open Quark files?

Can't open Quark files after installing Lion.
It says "You can't open the application QuarkXpress because Power PC applications are no longer supported."
What does that mean???
Thanks!

Hi Lisa,
you must be using an older version of QuarkXPress.
QuarkXPress 7.01 (and higher) and 8.x are Universal Binary, so can run natively on both PowerPC-based Macs as well as Intel-based Macs. QuarkXPress 9 (9.1 is current) is an Intel-only application. So theoretically you need to use at least 7.01.
However since version 9.1 QuarkXPress is officially supported on Lion, so Version 9 is probably your best option on OS X 10.7.x.
Thanks
Matthias

Can I upgrade from Photoshop CS2 to CS5 after installing Lion?

Can I upgrade from Photoshop CS2 to CS5 after installing Lion? Or should I have done it before installing Lion?

I think you are missing my point.
For the last many editions of the creative suite they have each been completely independent. There is no "going over a previous version. Each version stands on its own and is a clean install — as long as you haven't installed that specific version before.
And "obsolete" is a pretty relative term. With products as complex as the creative suite there are often features (or even whole applications) that change between versions. Many people I know keep earlier versions around, just for that very reason.

Time Machine can't find external drive after installing Lion

Time Machine can't find external drive after installing Lion. I have a Laice 1 terabyte external drive that worked fine with Snow Leopard and now no show ... tried connecting it to front port and Mac Pro can't see it. Also lost Office,Quicken, and Final Cut Pro says: " You can't open application because Power PC apps are no longer supported" this is Not a good surprise!

Does the drive work when just directly connected? If so, have you prepped the drive?
Extended Hard Drive Preparation
1. Open Disk Utility in your Utilities folder. If you need to reformat your startup volume, then you must boot from your OS X 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 Installer menu (Utilities menu for Tiger or Leopard.)
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. Set the number of partitions from the dropdown menu (use 1 partition unless you wish to make more.) Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID (only required for Intel Macs) then click on the OK button. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Partition button and wait until the volume(s) mount on the Desktop.
4. Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the drive entry) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
5. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, check the button for Zero Data and click on OK to return to the Erase window.
6. Click on the Erase button. The format process can take up to several hours depending upon the drive size.
