Everybody settle down about Lion!

So far Lion has been out for 4 days, sure there are going to be bugs its the first version of a new operating system!, of course everything isnt going to be perfect. Apple is already seeding (or about to seed) 10.7.2 for developers and this should fix some bugs and problems.
People need to settle down about simple little bugs, i have two macs that i upgraded a couple of days ago and so far havent had any bugs whatsoever, and even if i come across some i certinetly wont retreat back to Snow Leopard.

LION OS X 10.7 NOT READY FOR BUSINESS!!!!
So from what I gather, everyone should calm down because a couple of guys claim that the majority of users are having no problem.  Those that are having trouble should enjoy the amazing features and perhaps import data back from your time machine backups...
Well I can't.  Sorry.  Cannot get network accounts at all.  When I first 'upgraded' there were no network accounts available so I took the advice from this forum that I should unbind with my 2008 R2 Server and rebind.  Well guess what - now I cannot rebind with them. 
So I look at my backups.  Guess what.  I cannot connect to my My Western Digital (World) drive that connected so happily before - "The version of the server you are trying to connect to is not supported. Please contact your system administrator to resolve the problem."
This would have to be one of the biggest stuff ups of all time.  Clearly this basic functionality (connecting to an MS Network) has not been tested rigourously enough or at all. 
Can we have some fixes please Apple and some advice that the fixes exist.  I would like to have my expensive Apple computer working again on my network in a 'business as usual' kind of way.

    It is indeed all down to what you need to do with your machine.   Snow leopard is an excellent OS and as Baltwo suggests you have to check out your current apps and programs because PPC won't work on any higher OS than the one you have.
    Andy's comment is very interesting and, I suspect, insider knowledge based     Certainly I would wait for Mavericks now it is on the horizon ... and then add six months or so for the bugs to be ironed out.
    Good luck, whatever you do.   I'm staying with Snow Leopard.

  • External LCD Monitor Flickers for 10 - 15 minutes before it settles down

    I have a Lenovo 3000 N100 with a samsung syncmaster 931B as the second monitor. When I activate the monitor, it flickers for around 20 minutes before it settles down. I have the resolution set at 1280x1024 32-bit color 60hertz refresh rate.
    I've had this monitor for more than one year, without any problems. I've recently updated the nVidia Ge Force 7300 video drivers on my Windows XP Pro SP2 system.
    Actually, the problem is not the monitor. I can connect this monitor to a second laptop and it works fine, with no flicker.
    I have PC-Doctor 5 installed and the video tests for the nVidia GeForce 7300 and the external monitor itself ran with no problems. 

    I have a similar issue: external Samsung monitor worked fine on Vista, but I could not stand Vista. I put Win Xp Pro on... and I cannot get any signal out through the VGA port now. The monitor works fine (still), tested with two other latptops.
    My suspicion is that the nVidia driver files, possibly the .INF, may need tweaking / replacement / etc.
    Any assistance appreciated.

  • When running Firefox with normal view with bookmarks and tabs the display for the tab is jumping up and down about 1/4 of inch - display is ok if used in full screen but when go back to normall havers again. this ony started happening last night after

    Am having problems with display hovering in open tabs. I used Full screen last night when browsing for first time and since then when I go back to normal view the window shakes up and down about 1/4 inch and have to go to full screen for steady view. The toolbars are all steady it is only the web page.
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == Last night after using full screen.

    Do you have any saved bookmarks on the Bookmarks Toolbar, or that that Toolbar empty and you have it being displayed??
    Try opening View > Toolbars and click on the Bookmark Toolbar item to remove the check-mark, and then see how that affects that "jumping" or vertical oscillation of the UI.
    If that doesn't solve your problem, you can try the Firefox SafeMode and verify that problem doesn't exist in that troubleshooting mode.

    How can I access my Excel and MS word docs now that I down loaded Lion?

    Isn't it the kind of question which would have been better asked before switching to Lion ?
    Of course it would be more logical to ask in a M…oSoft dedicated forum.
    In case you forgot it, here you are in a forum dedicated to an Apple product named Numbers

    I appreciate the prompt response.  Having read several threads, you can appreciate why I would be hesistant to upgrade to the Lion.  All I basically use is Office for Mac and the other basic functions such as email/calendar/address/contacts...etc. I have read horror stories about peoples stuff dissapearing into cyberspace and obvi dont want that to happen.
    That's all nonsense. Most people don't post anything if they don't have any problems. People who do have problems usually have very specific reasons for them that they have caused themselves.

  • I down loaded Lion and now I can not access Quicken

    I down loaded Lion and now I cannto acces Quicken or any of my financial information. What do I do? Is there any way for me to be able to access Quicken again?

    cglasgow123, although you should have checked compatibility of your apps with Lion before upgrading, since any major system update can cause these sorts of problems, that does not help you solve your problem.  Just keep it in mind for the future, so you don't make the same mistake.
    There are a number of Quicken replacements out there.  See Finding a Replacement for Quicken for some excellent guidance.  I strongly suggest you begin migrating to one of these programs soon, as Intuit has a very poor record with how it treats its Mac-using customers.  They have promised an update to the years-outdated Mac version of Quicken "sometime in the spring."  I wouldn't hold my breath, though.
    You could try using Quicken Essentials in the short term, which is a dumbed-down version of Quicken for Mac users that will run on Lion.
    If nothing else works for you, and you absolutely have to run your old copy of Quicken, you have three choices.  One, you could install Snow Leopard and Quicken on an external hard drive and boot from that whenever you need to use Quicken.  Two, you could install Snow Leopard Server in a virtual machine and run it, and Quicken, within Lion.  (Post over on the Snow Leopard Server forum for assistance with that, I don't know the details.)  Three, you could revert to Snow Leopard entirely, though that will be a painful process requiring you to erase your hard drive and reinstall Snow Leopard and everything else from scratch.

  • I want to upgrade from Tiger to Snow Leopard...I'm apprehensive about Lion.

    I've been hearing so many "glitch" anecdotes about Lion. Until these problems are resolved
    I want to upgrade from Tiger to Snow Leopard but I'll be buying a new Apple computer to
    do that..
    I presently have a a 10.4 iMAC with only 2.33 GB of memory and I'm getting a new puter
    in order to have 4 GB. Is it recommended to use Lion with a new Apple computer or can I use
    Snow Leopard without missing out on anything? Are the stories about Lion just the usual thing
    that always happens with a new upgrade? Tiger has worked perfectly for me for 6 years but that
    has been on computer that is 6 years old. (POWERPC) Does a new iMAC computer with intel
    require the latest operating system to work at top efficiency? Is my apprehension about Lion
    an over reaction to anecdotal info?

    Some of this is answered best by knowing what model computers are involved. If you are truly getting a brand new (as opposed to a newer used) computer then it will likely come with Lion installed, unless there's some old stock (which even then would have Lion installed but could still run under Snow Leopard which you would have to buy separately).  Macs will normally only run the version system that comes installed, or newer, so if you are getting a brand new Mac you won't have any choice but to run Lion (or its successors). It won't run Snow Leopard unless it is a new used computer.
    As for Lion stories, those would best be answered on the Lion forum. I still run Tiger which I why I'm on this forum.  There's always issues with any upgrade.  For me the biggest drawback to Lion is all my software is PPC generation and Lion stopped supporting PPC completely. If I got a brand new computer I would also have to upgrade all my software which could easily run to over a thousand dollars more.

  • I have 10.5.8 can I down load Lion?, I have 10.5.8 can I down load Lion?

    I have 10.5.8 can I down load Lion?, I have 10.5.8 can I down load Lion?

    10.6.8 introduces the Mac Application Store, the only way to download Lion on the web. However, you can purchase Lion on a USB dongle for $69 US from Apple.
    Although you can't update Leopard from the dongle, you could clone the Leopard volume and erase and install Lion on the original partition and then use the Leopard compatible Migration Assistant. http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1434?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US
    All in all, cheaper to just buy Snow Leopard, and then buy Lion from the Mac Application Store.

  • When I switch between tabs the page jumps down about 20 lines. Why? And how do I stop this?

    I am running on Mac, OS X 10.9.1 .
    When using Firefox if I switch between tabs or open a new tab from a link the page will jump down about 20 lines. This does not happen on all websites. Most notably on Facebook, but a bunch of other sites do it as well.
    Help would be nice.

  • Upgraded new iPad to iOS 5 after successfully using the machine for two weeks. The apps I downloaded are still here, checked for updates, all okay. However, when I try to use iBooks app or even USA Today, icon shakes, settles down then nothing. Help.

    Upgraded new iPad to iOS 5 after successfully using the machine for two weeks. The apps I downloaded are still here, checked for updates, all okay. However, when I try to use iBooks app or even USA Today, icon shakes, settles down then nothing else happens. Several tries, settings appear correct. Suggestions? Safari operates correctly, music icon matches (not from iTunes, simply music on my MacPro and iPod). Is Cloud the issue, perhaps? But everything worked before the upgrade. Using my home network. Hope this info suffices. Appreciate any guidance.

    Problem solved. Saw the solution in a more recent post. Downloaded a free app, then all my other apps started to work again.
