Ever since I installed Lion, I have not been able to print wirelessly

Ever since I installed Lion, I have not been able to print to my Brother MFC-7840W. It shows in System Preferences, and says "Ready", but when I try to print I get a "cannot connect to device" message. Also in the printer utility it says bonjour malfunction. I have installed the most current drivers as well. Also, all other computers (PC's) on the wireless network are not having any problems printing! Help! I hate it when the household PC lovers mock me!

The Bonjour Multifunction entry under Kind simply indicates that both the printer and scanner queues will be created for the single queue, the same that happens when the device is connected to the Mac via USB. I see the same thing with some Canon AIO's and it doesn't stop the Mac from printing.
With you mentioning that a direct connection also fails, then it suggests that there is an issue with the driver or the printing system. A reset of the printing system is a good starting point. This will require you to create the queue again, but not install the printer drivers. And try it first with the USB connected printer before trying it on the network.
If the direct connection still fails after the reset then the drivers could be a cause. Other Brother owners mentioned having problems with printing after a recent Brother update. From memory they found they had to get a CUPS driver from the Brother web site to resolve the symptom.

Since I installed Firefox I have not been able to send emails from aol. What is causing this problem and how do I fix it?

Whether I am responding to an email or composing a new one I have not been able to consistently send emails since I downloaded FF. Once or twice I managed to send one but do not know why they went through since typically do not get past the technical problem message. The error always says there is a technical problem but does not specify the actual problem.

Since installing Lion, I have not been able to utilize Time Machine (does not recognize the back-up drive); my wireless mouse does not function properly; I have experienced unreasonable delays in the system. Is there a fix or upgrade coming?

Is there a fix or upgrade to deal with the many problems I am experiencing since I installed Lion? I can no longer utilize Time Machine (Does not see the back-up drive); my wireless mouse does not work properly; my iMac has slowed down considerably. I am reminded of having a PC machine again. Bummer!

Either downgrade to Snow Leopard or try reinstalling Lion.
Reinstalling Lion Without the Installer
Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alterhatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the main menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu.
Reinstall Lion: Select Reinstall Lion and click on the Continue button.
Note: You can also re-download the Lion installer by opening the App Store application. Hold down the OPTION key and click on the Purchases icon in the toolbar. You should now see an active Install button to the right of your Lion purchase entry. There are situations in which this will not work. For example, if you are already booted into the Lion you originally purchased with your Apple ID or if an instance of the Lion installer is located anywhere on your computer.
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 (see below.) I suggest you make a separate backup using Carbon Copy Cloner 3.4.1.
If you have Snow Leopard Time Machine backups, do a full system restore per #14 in Time Machine - Frequently Asked Questions. If you have subsequent backups from Lion, you can restore newer items selectively, via the "Star Wars" display, per #15 there, but be careful; some Snow Leopard apps may not work with the Lion files.

Since installing Maverick, I have not been able to load Bridge. Photoshop seems to be fine.

I have done this on numerous occasions but I think that my Iphone has a defect. After many tries, reinstalls, deletion of content, changing content to be stored on external hard drive, deleting itunes and cleaning computer I managed to get all of the songs on and things seemed okay for a while.
The problem returned about a week ago after downloading a new album from Itunes. I now have 12.5k of songs leaving 10gb spare on Iphone which should be more than enough room to operate properly. Last night it seemed to be dowloading ok (after doing all of the above again for the umpteenth time) this morning it revealed that it had just synched 2.5k of songs and 18gb of "other" on the contents bar. it wont synch now as it says its over capacity. So the 18gb of "other" would probably be corrupted data that means it must corrupt each song as it tries to synch it.
The 2.5k of songs it did synch are working on the Iphone as is every song in the library on Itunes. I did completely delete the new album I bought and redownloaded it from the store then tried to synch just that album and it worked fine.
Just about time to dump apple I think!

1. You did not get an error message telling you that your iPhoto library was getting full. You got a message telling you that your HD was getting full, right?
OS X needs about 10 gigs of hard drive space for normal OS operations - things like virtual memory, temporary files and so on.
Without this space your Mac will slow down as the OS hunts for space on the disk, files will be fragmented, also slowing things down, apps will crash and the risk of data corruption - that is damage to your files, photos, music - increases exponentially.
Your first priority is to make more space on that HD. Nothing else can be done until you do.
Purchase an external HD and move your Photos and Music to it. Both iPhoto and iTunes can run perfectly well with the Library on an external disk.
Your Library has been damaged from being run on an overfull disk.
How much free space on it now?

Ever since I installed Lion, I have problems using Excell

Ever since I installed Lion, when ever I open Excell ,30 files open and I have to close them before I can start using it. WTH is wrong ?

Disconnect all wired peripherals except the drive in question. The drive should be connected to a built-in USB port, not a hub, and it should have an external power source. Make sure the USB cable is securely seated at both ends. Boot in safe mode.
Test. Same problem? Connect it to a different built-in USB port. Same problem now? Try a different USB cable. Still the same?
After testing, reboot as usual (not in safe mode.)
If you have the same problem with the drive in all the above tests, then test it with another Mac, if possible.

Since installing Maveric I have not been able to enter my smart groups as addressees in email Any suggestions why?

I have just installed OS XMavericks and since installation have not been able to select smart groups to send emails to. Any ideas why? Also I suddenly can't italicise or embolden text in an email.
Bunnyfw

You have to manually select the addresses from the smart group for the To: button to enable in the Window menu -> Address Panel window. You can't just select the Smart group icon alone.
As for italics and embolden, those are non-standard formats that only work when e-mailing people with certain e-mail clients. Mail menu -> Preferences -> Composing lets you choose message format as Rich Text or Plain Text. Only Rich Text enables italics and embolden. Responding using the same format as original will enable that if the original had bold or italic. Everyone supports plain text.

TS3276 Ever since I upgraded to OSX Lion I have not been able to receive email from Comcast. I can send but not receive. I have dealt with Comcast on several occassions and after trying all the usual remedies they cannot get it to work.

After several attempts with Comcast to fix the problem of receiving mail, I am hoping someone here can give me sound advice. Ever since I upgraded to OXS Lion I can send email through Comcast account but, cannot receive it

Please detail ALL you have done so far in the way of troubleshooting? Need this info to avoid the been there done that scenarios that you have already tried w/Comcast.

I lost my address book when I installed Mountain Lion and have not been able to recover it. WHen I type in a name in an email the address shows up, so I know it is in there. How can I restore my address book?

I don't know how to do this. I typed the question in the bar above, but apparently need to type it again here. I lost my entire address book when I installed Mountain Lion and have been unable to recover it. I know the information is in there as when I type in someone's name in an email the address always shows up right away. How can I find the information for my contacts and restore my address book? Do I need to go to the Apple Store that is 2 hours away and have an expert help me or can I find out how to do it online for free myself?

The auto-complete in Mail addresses comes from two sources: (1) The "Previous Recipients" list, which can be viewed via Mail > Window > Previous Recipients. (2) Your Address Book (now called "Contacts").
If you did in fact lose your Address Book - are you sure you don't have "Contacts" in your Applications Folder? - It sounds like you are getting addresses from source (1). If you did in fact lose your Address Book (now called "Contacts" !!), you will have to restore it from a backup.

Since I updated Firefox I have not been able to open my mail because bing search pops up in the mail window instead. How do I get rid of bing so I can read my mail?

do not send to that email, I will not be able to verify.

You can check:
* [[Removing the Search Helper Extension and Bing Bar]]
You can open the about:config page via the location bar and do a search for bing via the Filter at the top of that page. 
You can reset all related prefs via the right-click context menu to their default values.

Ever since I installed Lion my internet connection comes and goes, has anyone else had the same experience. have rung Apple Care and they have reset my connection but it is still happening

ever since I installed Lion my internet connection comes and goes....have reported this to Apple Care who have helped me reset my connection but it is still happening...cant believe it is a fault of the ISP as my Iphone does not have this problem, nor does my PC laptop...is this a fault in the new system?

Thanks so much but none of that helped. It was driving me crazy because it would back up another external drive. I just changed the name of the drive from iPhoto/iTunes Library to Media Libraries and IT WORKED!! I guess for some reason it didn't like the drive being called iPhoto or iTunes ???? I don't understand but I have tried so many solutions and exchanging things out but the name change did it????!!!
Thank you for your help and replying to this. Guess I made my own issue!

Since I joined creative cloud, I have not been able to sync. Why the difference? Worked good during initial trial.
Also I had installed the Mosaic app for ipad before Lightroom mobile came out and I cannot seem to get rid of it. How can I get mosaic out? I have cancelled, I have deleted, I have looked through the files for visible remnants.

The sync count is 60 and static. The total number synced so far is 500+. None have been synced from the ipad except for corrections made there on those already synced.
I have deleted the Mosaic app from all machines and checked the library folder and have contacted the Mosaic tech support and they have discontinued my subscription. I still get mosaic messages on initiating Lightroom and sometimes at closing.
I have not tried to sync fewer yet, but some catalogs that I have tried are smaller numbers. Initially, it did well on good connections. Nothing works on my home connections over satellite.

Using Safari? Safari/Preferences/Advanced - enable the Develop menu, then go there and Empty Caches. Quit/reopen Safari and test. Then try Safari/History/Show History and delete all history items.
