Disk Utility after upgrading to Lion

I couldn't get disk utility app to work from the Finder. I finally figured out to go to the "About This Mac" menu, upper left apple emblem, then clicked More Info.. then Storage then Disk Utility at the bottom right. Then I was able to set up my back up external HD for Timemachine. Took HOURS to figure this out. Hope this saves someone a lot of time.

Mine doesn't look like that. I have a MacBook laptop. It has a "Dock" and in that Dock is "Finder". The old "Disk Utility" is in "Finder" and doesn't work. It's also in "Launchpad" and it also doesn't work. I can't find where my screenshots are going, for some unknown reason, or I'ld show you. The screenshots used to go to my desktop. Anyway the new "Disk Utility" is now in the "Apple" menu at the top of my "Safari" browser window on the left and looks like an apple. I clicked "About This Mac" then "More Info..." Then I chose "Storage" from the 4 options. Then "Disk Utilities" on the bottom right. Okay I figured the screen shots out. Much of the new OS different. See on the right is the "Dock" and I've magnafied the "Finder" by mousing over it. It has the smiley face and under it is "Launch Pad". Top Left is the Apple where the new and only working "Utlity Disk" is now located.

My Macbook won't recognize the disk drive after upgrading to Lion

my macbook read CD's until I upgraded to Lion. The CD drive doesn't even show up as an available drive in the disk utility. What do I need to do to remedy this?

Zap the PRAM and Reset the SMC; then, try again. BTW, does the optical drive show up in Apple menu item->About this Mac->More info?

Time machine fails backing up with a "backup disk not found" error after upgrade to Lion 10.7.2

Time machine fails backing up with a "backup disk not found" error after upgrade to Lion 10.7.2. I've erased and reformatted the drive; reconnected Time Machine(it saw it) and began a new backup. The backup starts again but fails before completing with backup drive not found error. I used the 10.7.2 combo update. Any help on how to fix this problem would be appreciated.

Arghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!
After waiting since October for a fix, I have now upgraded the firmware on the Time Capsule and installed the new Airport Utility, released yesterday, and the situation is even worse.
Up until now, the Airport Utility had an option to disconnect all drives manually and the Time Capsule would then work until the next reboot – a temporary (?) work-around.
Now that option does not exist in the new-look Airport Utility. And the Airport Utility installation can’t be rolled back and the old utility won’t restore.
The sparesbundle is still not accessible. Anyone worked out a work-around in the new environment yet?
I have another Time Machine backup working fine to a trusty old Lacie Drive so erased the one on my Time Capsule to see if that works. I have renamed the Capsule and the Time Capsule Drive. But to build another full backup will take at least two days and I shall be away from tomorrow and am reluctant to leave the Capsule and computer up and running for a week. And I’ll bet the sparsbundle will still be nowhere to be found.
How can Apple screw up so badly when they are to become the richest company in the entire world and – soon – will have more cash in the bank than the entire United States? Can’t they afford someone who really can sort this out? Especially when a Firewire connected hard drive – my trusty and simple LaCie – works fine.
Words, almost, fail me.

After upgrade to Lion, iMovie 11 won't recognize my ReadyNas disk. Anyone else experiencing application NAS connectivity issues after upgrading to Lion?

I have a ReadyNas NV+ which I use as NAS storage. I make a lot of home movies in iMovie 11 (mostly family movies of my daughter growing up) which fills up my local HDD fairly quickly. I setup iMovie 11 when I was using Snow Leopard to connect to my NAS as an additional disk in the event library and project. I would move events and projects after I finalized and shared them to the NAS disk in iMovie so it would both clear up space on my local HDD but still be available in the iMovie 11 application.
After I upgraded to Lion, I can no longer see the NAS disk in either the project library or event library. I'm concerned if I have created a condition where I won't be able to access the projects and events which I moved to the NAS disk when I upgraded to Lion. Has anyone else experienced this issue and has anyone else found a solution to this? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Did that work for you? I was looking at that too, but was discouraged by having to use a sparsebundle given Snow Leopard had such great NAS support.
FYI to everyone else, I upgraded my ReadyNAS firmware to 4.1.8. NetGear indicated the following updates with the nre firmware, but it didn't fix this problem:
     New features and enhancements
     1. Added support for Mac OS X 10.7 “Lion”.
     2. Added warning when NFS access to home shares is enabled.
     3. Added a redirect for http://<host>/ip to https.
     4. Added enhancements to advanced AFP permission settings.
     5. Provide download links for exported users and groups instead of asking for email.
     6. Updated ReadyNAS Remote to the latest revision.
     Bug fixes
     1. Fixed javascript error in FrontView.
     2. Delay auto power-off if backup jobs are still queued.
     Limitations
     1. IE 6 no longer supported.
     2. Drives greater than 2TB are not supported.
I found this link which I thought had some useful information: http://carryflag.blogspot.com/2010/06/imovie-event-library-on-network-drive.html
Some people reported success with the terminal command:
     defaults write -app iMovie allowNV -bool true
But apparantly, after the Lion update, fewer people reported success with it. Still looking though... If anyone else has more symptoms to add, please let me know. I might try to use a sniffer program and see if I can pull a packet capture. That might reveal some info....
On another note, has anyone had any problems connecting to their Time Capsule in the same fashion? I had an idea of connecting a USB Raid Array to it and connecting through the TC, but wanted to know if anyone had any thoughts or experience with that.... Thanks.

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 Image Capture does not work, even though it is intel software. Gives error 9931. What gives?

After upgrading to Lion, Image Capture does not work, even though it is intel software. Gives error 9931. What gives?

Ouch, if it is indeed damaged, then sadly you need to restore the whole danged huge OS!
Didn't used to be this way before Lion/10.7.
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 help Reinstall the OS.

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

After upgrading to Lion can't get Boot Camp to work! Just get "startup dusk cannot be portioned or restored to a single partition"?

After upgrading to Lion can't get Boot Camp to work! Just get "The startup disk cannot be partitioned or restored to a single partition". Anytone?

This message, and threads like yours got asked daily for over two years, now it is only a couple times a week!!
Is it so hard to follow through? you were to have backup already, clones are best, then erase/format and restore.
Then partition.
Some have been able to use Disk Utility booted from OS X DVD or another drive, and repair the drive.
You have to use Boot Camp Assistant (99.9% anyway) to create and achieve a proper Windows Master Boot Record partition.

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.

Significant slowdown of Time Machine after upgrade to Lion; indexing problem

After upgrading to Lion over the weekend I notice a significant slowdown of Time Machine processing. I assumed the first backup or two would take some time but it's been a couple of days. The process always hangs up at the "Indexing backup" stage. It takes a couple of hours to finish.
I found several threads relating to slowed down backups on Lion, most seem to hang at the "Preparing" stage (not the same symptom) but I did find some good diagnostic pointers. I installed the widget to see what kind of messages were being produced and found a few dozen "Waiting for index to be ready (100)" messages at the end of the stream. Further research - this is not a good thing :-) It seems a couple of such messages can be ok, but this many usually indicates a problem. I'm going to discount the possibility of a hardware failure because everything was perfectly fine up to the point I made the upgrade. Plus the prepare and copy seem to proceed at the expected speed (I watched the most recent cycle just to be sure).
Here is the full message log (it's still running at the moment):

I further found the advice and instructions on how to run the disk utility on the sparsebundle. I did a verify and repair, and the results came back that the drive appears to be ok (it did not say that it explicitly repaired anything).
But the problem remains.
I use a 1TB Time Capsule with plenty of free capacity (only half full). The TC and my MacBook are both hardwired into the home network, networking speed has never been an issue.
I'd sure hate to delete the backup file and start from scratch, there's over a year's worth of data there and I have, occassionally, wanted to go in there and pick up a downlevel or subsequently deleted file.
Any advice on other diagnostics or repair options to take? Thanks!
Paul

After posting I decided to keep trying to slog my way through the troubleshooting guide. Some of the steps are beyond my understanding but I did follow the advice in #D2 to delete the .Spotlight-V100 file from the sparsebundle. That action does seem to have done the trick, the backups are now completing in normal time. I ran a couple just to be sure. I've verified the backups with BackupLoupe and entered the Time Machine, all appears to be in order and as expected. The only odd side effect is that the backup volume is no longer ejected after completion but that might just be an artifact of all my mounting/de-mounting and playing with Finder. Anyway a very small price to pay for what looks to be a working system again.
Hopefully the good behavior will last through a few days and a few reboots :-)

Problems with extrenal drive after upgrade to Lion

Hello,
after upgrading to Lion last week I am experiencing some problems with my LaCie 1 TB FireWire (800) external drive.
The problem is not that big however. When I delete files on the external drive they do not appear in the Trash Bin.
However when I unmount and again mount the partitions using the Disk Utility the deleted files do appear in the
Trash Bin. The external drive has 3 partitions: 2 X Mac OS X Journaled and one FAT. The above described problem
appers on all partitions. I performed repair and verify to all partitions but Disk Utility says that everything is OK! Any idea ?
P.S. With Snow Leopard I have never experienced such problem.
Thank you!

DiskWarrior is on
Step 5: Locating directory date...
Speed reduced by disk malfunction: 339,474, er make that 340,239, er make that 341,327....
should I stop it or keep going??!!!!

Another "horrible performance after upgrading to Lion" post

Hi,
Sorry for yet another "my computer has horrible performance after upgrading to Lion" post. I did search the forum before posting.
I have a relatively new Macbook Pro, 8 GB RAM, 2.8 MHz Intel i7 CPU. I upgraded from Snow Leopard to Lion, then Lion to 10.7.2.
The first time I upgraded, I no longer had my user account, so restored from Time Machine back to SL. After a month or so, I hoped Apple had fixed the bug, so I redownloaded and reinstalled, and this time the upgrade succeeded.
Ever since the upgrade, my MBP runs like a dog. I get the spinning beach ball constantly, across all range of applications, both Apple and 3rd party. Occasionally it doesn't wake up from sleep (close, open lid) and I have to kick it in the head by holding down the power button.
I've tried booting into the recovery partition, running disk utility, and repairing disk and permissions. I've read elsewhere (Google hit) that doing a completely clean install fixes the performance issues (for those users anyway).
I know this is a fairly generic post, but any advice on how to maximize machine performance under Lion, or should I revert to Snow Leopard? Do I really have to wipe the disk, install fresh, restore all non-OS files (don't accidentally wipe a required OS file), then reapply the 10.7.2 maintenance? Yuck.
Thanks,
Scott

try an SMC reset if you are not seeing any weird spikes in Activity Monitor and you've deduced that none of your third party drivers or apps are interfearing with the way lion works.
Resetting the SMC on portables with a battery you should not remove on your own
Note: Portable computers that have a battery you should not remove on your own include MacBook Pro (Early 2009) and later, all models of MacBook Air, and MacBook (Late 2009).
Shut down the computer.
Plug in the MagSafe power adapter to a power source, connecting it to the Mac if its not already connected.
On the built-in keyboard, press the (left side) Shift-Control-Option keys and the power button at the same time.
Release all the keys and the power button at the same time.
Press the power button to turn on the computer.
Note: The LED on the MagSafe power adapter may change states or temporarily turn off when you reset the SMC.

After upgrading to lion, cant use TM

After upgrading to lion, I can't see any TM backups, and I do not have access to this external harddrive.
In the TM backup, I can see all backups, but cant activate or use them.
When I click to the external HD, an error message says: "The folder "" cannot be opend, because you do not have permission..."
I tried to solve problem as Apple given on website, but didnot help.
Thanks for help!

I had this same problem after I copied my TM backups from a 500GB TC to a larger external USB drive.
After some work, I finally was able to get the backups from the old TC to show up (in pink) on the new external drive, but still was unable to select/use the backups in pink.
After readings lots of the pondini posts, I saw some things that seem to get me access to the pink timeline items.
First, I read this post. At the beginning of it, it read...
Time Machine keeps the backups for each Mac separate, and normally only shows the ones for the Mac it's running on, even if there are other Macs' backups on the same disk/partition.
Also, sometimes Time Machine will start a new "sequence" of backups, as if they were from a different Mac.
To see these "other" backups, you need the Browse Other Backup Disks or (Browse Other Time Machine Disks) option. It's available by Alt/Option-clicking the Time Machine icon in your Menubar, or by right-clicking the Time Machine icon in your Dock.
At the end of the post (scroll to the blue box at the bottom), this also gave me an strategy...
If you've moved from a network location to local, Time Machine will usually continue backing up to the sparse bundle. But when you
Enter Time Machine, it will be looking for local backups. You'll have to manually mount the sparse bundle by double-clicking it in the Finder before entering Time Machine, and may need the Browse ... option.
These ideas helped me, as I am now able to access the pink backups in the timeline.
