Compatibility issues between OS X Lion and LaCie external HD ?

Hi Community,
My TM is on a LaCie external HD like this one  http://www.lacie.com/support/support_manifest.htm?id=10283
It's working very well under Snow Leopard and even if it's not the top performance and a little bit noisy, it's a very good backup tool.
I didn't upgrade from Snow Leopard to Lion yet - there is no hurry, I let others discover the last bugs and Apple fix them - but I'm starting to think about it and slowly preparing to make a clean install after downloading Lion and creating an installation DVD.
Of course I will need a perfectly working TM to restore so I'm a bit worried about the rumors I saw here and there about compatibility issues with LaCie external hard drives when upgrading to Lion.
Does anyone has an experience to share about this ? Thanks.

I would not rely just on TM for my backup solution. External hard drives are so cheap I would buy one,and clone your current system using either SuperDuper or Carbon Copy Cloner.The advantages being that you will have an exact copy of your current system that you can boot into in the event that you have issues with Lion. The cloning software is very easy to use and offers scheduling options you can use to your own preference daily, weekly, etc.... I have some software that I use that can not run on Lion so I just boot into SL from the external HD and I'm good to go. I personally have never had to restore a system or file from TM although I do backup with TM. I do however boot up to an older system from an external HD all the time. As far as doing a clean install, I don't think that is necessary. I just updated my system as is AFTER I ran SuperDuper to make sure I was up to date on my clone. Other than some older software being uncompatible ( Which I knew in advance) I have had no issues with Lion.
Good Luck

  • Are there any compatibility issues between Firefox 6-beta and Norton internet security?

    I received a warning before installing it that Firefox 6-beta is incompatible with the Norton toolbar - does this imply any deeper compatibility problems with Norton?

    That "test" only implies a number is incorrect in the add-on, nothing more should be read into that message.
    Norton, and many other security software vendors, don't usually support pre-release Beta version web browsers. Firefox only checks the '''maxVersion''' specified in the install.rdf file for the extension that is installed in Firefox, which is a very minor point as far as "compatibility" goes, and that is "set" by the developer of the add-on. The burden for true compatibility is on the developer.

  • Compatibility issue between MSI MS-6575E and a Linksys PCI wireless card

    Hi all,
    I have a Compaq Pavilion a249.pt with a MSI MS-6575E motherboard. I bought a Linksys PCI wireless card to access to network.
    The problem is when I plug in the PCI card the system don't boot. It remains in the HP logo and doesn't jump to system start.
    I plug the card in another computer and I get no problems...
    Do you have any idea about what can be wrong?
    Yhanks,
    CC

    Thanks for your comments and help. The problem is solved! 
    Here are the steps I took:
    1 - Try to find help in HP support team: they don't help me in any way!!!! 
    2 - Try to find help in Linksys support team: they help me isolating the problem and they didn't have any kind of error report regarding with Linksys card and MS motherboard. They told me to try the linksys card in another computer to ensure that the card was in perfect conditions. And it was.
    3 - Download of MSI motherboard manual to find any clue.
    4 - Search for a forum (like this!) and ask for help. You were the only with straight and usefull ideas  . Thanks!!!!!
    And now the solution: After checking the BIOS parameters regarding with LAN boot (you told me to disable it), I switched the card to PCI slot 3. The boot was OK.
    Again, many thanks to you all.

  • Compatibility issues between CS5.5 & new macs?

    Hello all. Does anyone know if there are compatibility issues between Audition CS5.5 and new macs? Just got a 2013 MacBook Pro (OS X 10.9) and haven't been able to install my copy of CS5..5, which I've been using on an older mac for years. I've tried both the original installation disc and a download.
    Thanks!

    Depends entirely on the application. You should probably visit the
    individual product forums for details.
    I will tell you this. For InDesign you're not going to be happy at all.

  • How do I fix the compatibility issue between my iPhone 4S with iOS 7 and my Pioneer car stereo? There was no problem with iOS 6, but now I get a message saying "this device is not compatible" and so I can't use Netflix for example. How do I fix it?

    This is a typical response from the manufacturer. Did you try the fix that Lawrence mentioned. When Apple or any other phone manufacturer update phone software, they have the latest Bluetooth installed. It is usually the problem with the radio manufacturer that they devices are using the older Bluetooth protocols. You can try this support document http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3581 and see if anything there helps, but generally it requires the radio manufacturer to update their firmware.

  • Adobe Flash IDE: Migration/Compatibility issues between Adobe Flash Professional CS3 and CS5

    Hi,
    Adobe Flash IDE: Adobe Flash CS3 Professional and Adobe Flash Professional CS5
    I am facing some  migration/compatibility issues between Adobe Flash CS3 Professional and Adobe  Flash Professional CS5:
    I am working on a project that has  been completely developed in CS3 earlier. When I am using CS5 (Flash Player 9 /  Flash Player 10) to compile the FLA files, it is creating some new issues like  some customized radio buttons are getting disappeared while viewing the SWF on a  web page etc.
    So, I would like to  know:
    1) Is there any  migration/compatibility issue between Adobe Flash CS3 Professional and Adobe  Flash Professional CS5?
    2) If yes: Is there any patch  available from Adobe for it?
    3) If no: What could be the causes  and the best possible solutions for it?
    Any help and support would be highly  appreciated. Many thanks in advance!
    Thanks & Regards

  • Work around technique for imcompatibility issues between Firefox 6.0 and Avast Free Antivirus 6.0, esp "Unresponsive Scripts."

    I am using Firefox 6.0, Avast Free Anti-Virus 6.0 and Windows XP.
    I am experiencing slow/freezing web browsing after a recent upgrade to Firefox 6.0. Not all but on most occasions, I also get a warning from Avast of an "unresponsive script." I suspect there is a compatibility issue between these versions of Firefox and Avast--are they any short and/or long term solutions to this. I suppose I can disable the Script Blocker on Avast but that would defeat the purpose of having an anti-virus program.
    Many thanks in advance.

    I have had a similar problem with my system. I just recently (within a week of this post) built a brand new desktop. I installed Windows 7 64-bit Home and had a clean install, no problems. Using IE downloaded an anti-virus program, and then, because it was the latest version, downloaded and installed Firefox 4.0. As I began to search the internet for other programs to install after about maybe 10-15 minutes my computer crashes. Blank screen (yet monitor was still receiving a signal from computer) and completely frozen (couldn't even change the caps and num lock on keyboard). I thought I perhaps forgot to reboot after an update so I did a manual reboot and it started up fine.
    When ever I got on the internet (still using firefox) it would crash after anywhere between 5-15 minutes. Since I've had good experience with FF in the past I thought it must be either the drivers or a hardware problem. So in-between crashes I updated all the drivers. Still had the same problem. Took the computer to a friend who knows more about computers than I do, made sure all the drivers were updated, same problem. We thought that it might be a hardware problem (bad video card, chipset, overheating issues, etc.), but after my friend played around with my computer for a day he found that when he didn't start FF at all it worked fine, even after watching a movie, or going through a playlist on Youtube.
    At the time of this posting I'm going to try to uninstall FF 4.0 and download and install FF 3.6.16 which is currently on my laptop and works like a dream. Hopefully that will do the trick, because I love using FF and would hate to have to switch to another browser. Hopefully Mozilla will work out the kinks with FF 4 so I can continue to use it.
    I apologize for the lengthy post. Any feedback would be appreciated, but is not necessary. I will try and post back after I try FF 3.16.6.

  • Compatibiity issues between Microsoft Office 2013 and Epsom Workforce 1100 Wide Format Printer

    I just purchased a new Pavilion 23 HP computer with Windows 8 Operating System and Office 2013. I bought an Epson Workforce 1100 Wide Format printer several years ago. Upon installing it on my new computer, I noticed it was for operating systems from 2000
    to 7 and did not include Windows 8. I downloaded the recommended driver for Windows 8. My computer recognizes the printer and will print pictures, web-articles, etc. but will not print any text from any of the Office 2013 documents. Can you help me?

    Hi,
    I have a couple of questions about the issue:
    1. Did the print task show in the status bar when you use Office2013 to print?
    2. Did you try to print by using the Notepad?
    3. Did you get some error messages?
    If we cloud not print from the Notepad, it seems a
    compatibility issues between Windows8 and print driver. I recommend you post the issue to Windows 8 forum or connect Epson support. 
    Then，we also cloud upgrade all the latest Windows 8 and Office 2013 patches to test.
