FCPS 2 work on Lion?

Any developers have luck using Final Cut Pro Studio 2 well with the new Lion OS X 10.7? I know I have heard FCPS 3 works fine but nothing about FCPS 2.

The FCS 2 installer requires Rosetta, which will no longer be supported in Lion.
Possible workaround:
You need a Mac that is running an Intel CPU and Mac OS X 10.5 or 10.6.
This machine must be capable of running and installing FCS 2, because the installer will look at its graphics capabilities, installed RAM etc.
You need the Mac running Mac OS X 10.7 Lion.
Switch both machines off.
Connect the two with a FireWire cable.
Start the 10.5 / 10.6 machine as normal.
Start the 10.7 machine with the T key held down to enter FireWire Target Disk Mode
Insert the FCS installer disc into the 10.5 / 10.6 machine and run it.
Specify the install destination to be the 10.7 Mac.
Run all software updates before opening one of the FCS 2 apps.
Note that this is as yet untested by myself -based on the information I currently have, it should work in theory.

FCP 6 preferred compatibility, Lion or Snow Leopard

I'm planning on buying a new MacBook Pro and install FCP 6, but I hear all new Macs come with Lion operating system, and FCP 6 is best compatible with Snow Leopard. Can anyone enlighten me further on this?

You can only load FCP 6 onto Lion if you first install Rosetta from a Mac OS X 10.6 (Snow) DVD.
Other than that, FCP 6 works fine on Lion.

Adobe flash don't work in lion

adobe flash don't work in lion

I Already tried that. Even tried uninstall and reinstall! Ialso tried uninstall and reinstall of reader then uninstall and reinstall of flash. There is another display quirk with Lion , if I let my mbp go to sleep without logging out or shutting down, I get the last screen frozen. I have to use the curser to erase the area where the login icon is, then I can enter the login pw and get the mbp to be functional again! There are a number of other display related sizes and parameters that randomly happen since lion was installed. UNSTABLE is a good description here !

How do I get Front Row to work with Lion?

Hello fellow Mac users,
How do I get Front Row to work with Lion? I have an iMac 27 inch computer and is the sole entertainment provider for my bedroom. I refuse to put a TV in my room and wanted to know how to get Front Row to work again on my mac? It seems that the upgrade to Lion erased the app.
I have quite a few movies and series that I bought off iTunes and is a shame that I can't use a media center app like Front Row on Lion.

I kind of have the opposite problem. I need to know how to turn off my remote on the computer. I am using the remote for my Apple TV and it keeps making the volume on my Computer go up and down (with annoying sounds).
There used to be a way to un-sync the remote with the comp but I cannot remember how and the Apple help is not much help! I have Lion.
Thanks!
Best,
Tony

Apple Remote stopped working with Lion on iMac

My white Apple Remote does not work with Lion on my iMac 2.4ghz Core 2 Duo anymore.
I'm sure it was working recently as I was able to control the volume on my RadioShark application. Now that doesn't work anymore and I can't seem to get the remote to work with anything.
I've tried restarting my iMac, swapping the remote's battery, and using another remote but still no success. The only response I get is from the remote's 'Menu' button which, when pressed, toggles between two graphics on screen - one a four-way arrow indicator with a centre button, and the other what appears to be a Forward/Back, Centre button with corner indications for Expand/Shrink.
I've tried the 'Pair' option but pressing 'Menu' and 'Fast Forward' does nothing on screen - no sign of the chain-link 'Paired' symbol. Neither of the white remotes I tried is 'Paired' with the iMac.
It seems I must have done something to cause this but can't think of any change I made that could be responsible. I know Front Row is no longer accessible in Lion, but is there any other app I could test my remote on? Any kind of hardware reset needed? (unlikely, I know, with two separate remotes showing the problem).
Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks.

I'm replying to my own question because my remotes are working again.
I'm not sure what I did to fix the issue, but I tried shutting down all open applications (I remembered that by default Lion re-opens with everything as it was). And shortly afterwards I got full functionality back for my Apple Remote.
I'm not sure what caused the issue. I did install Easy Timeline, which I'd downloaded today from the Mac App Store. It has Apple Remote functionality, so I'm not sure if it was in some way implicated. It's working now with my remote, as is iTunes, and RadioShark.
Weird!

How can I get a microphone that works on windows to work on Lion?

I have just recived a headset I ordered off eBay. : http://www.ebay.com/itm/380536763585?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m143 9.l2649
I have a windows laptop, and I plugged in the 3.5 mm jack for the microphone, and it works fine. If I go on my mac, and I plug in the correct plugs the the correct locations, it wont work. I have selected it in settings, and looked at the volume and gain. It wont work on Lion. I am using a 2008 iMac with 4gb of ram, and it is running mountain lion. How can I fix this?

Hi, most PC Mics/Headphones won't work on Macs that use Line level, to use that you'll likely need an iMic...

Internet sharing no longer works after Lion 10.7.4 update

Internet sharing no longer works after Lion 10.7.4 update. Hopefully Apple will fix this shortly. Little excuse for this kind of screw-up.

so here is da answer
1. go to finder>(computer name)>macintosh HD>library>preferences
2. copy the entire systemconfiguration folder and systemconfiguration.old folder to your desktop
3. restart mac and device which you share intenet to
then you have internet that is about 3x slower than the da 10.7.3 intenet sharing, but works
then, just wait for apple to release da 10.7.4 fixed
please use da steps!

The "Quit all applications" key combination no longer works in Lion

The standard Mac OS key combination to "quit all applications" no longer works in Lion. It only quits some of them some of the time - not all of them all of the time. Could this have something to do with the other "no Save-As" problem?
Either way, it's yet another backwards step - one of several in Lion that are cumulatively slowing down and intefering with my workflow.
I fear someone may jump in here and explain that this is one of the great new features and that it's my fault for being too dumb to appreciate it.....

Your workflow is valuable to us; your opinions help us solve problems.

My cisco vpn no longer works with Lion

After installing Lion, my cisco vpn no longer works. If I force boot in 32 bit mode it works fine, so appears to be a cisco client issue. Does anyone know if CISCO is working on 64bit client compatible with Lion?

Not sure this answer helps me or anyone else. My VPN connection no longer works in Lion. How do I re-set the parameters of my VPN connection to work in Lion?

Var apps no longer working on Lion

Hi All,
Just upgraded to Lion to find var apps not working.
Specifically Office 2004 which wilst I'm not exactly happy with can live without, but still don't appreciate fact this was not sufficently advertised as being an issue BEFORE i upgraded, and now need to buy either upgrade or switch to something else.
But other apps have stopped as well, presumably for same reason.
My Daughter went to play Zoo Tycoon this morning and that seems to have gone the same way.
anyone know if this can be "fixed" or there is an upgrade available for Zoo Tycoon ? or is tehre a version that WILL work on Lion ?
Like I say not happy doing what was billed as relatively minor upgrade (10.7 to 10.8 doesn't SOUND like a significant upgrade) being much more troublesome than anything I've done previously.
any suggestions ?
Thanks
David

This is a fairly well known issue, caused by OS X 10.7 Lion dropping the Rosetta emulator, which allowed PowerPC code to run on Intel systems. My system is set up as a dual boot system, which uses Lion for everyday use, but can also be booted to Snow Leopard when I need access to a few PowerPC programs I have.
If you want to see what is affected, click on the apple on the left of the menu bar, about this mac, more info, system report, and under software click applications. This will take a few moments to populate. Then click on kind and scroll down to find PowerPC. These programs will no longer run under Lion.
Zoo Tycoon 2 is available in a univeral binary which will run on Intel systems. If you buy an older version, here's the upgrade link to the free upgrade so it will run on Intel systems.

ITunes Home Sharing No Longer Working Under Lion

Home Sharing is no longer working between Lion and my Apple TV or iPhone. I am able to watch Netflix through my Apple TV (2nd Gen) so I do have connectivity. I have restarted both devices, and updated iTunes to 10.4. Under "Advanced" in iTunes, Home Sharing is turned on. In Preferences in iTunes under Sharing, it says Status: On, no users connected, even though my Apple TV is connected to the network.
Is this problem isolated, or are others experiencing the same issue?

I'm up and running. Spoke with Apple and they had me go to : preferences, network and create a new location. That seems to have reset something. I had to reset all my devices back to my main network that had stopped working. The guest network will not let Home Sharing work, only the main network.
Others have been able to use Home Sharing without clicking "Done" after typing in their password. After you click "Done" the Shared disappears in iTunes.
Apple help people were GREAT!

My Quicken no longer works with Lion. Any suggestions?

My Qucken no longer works now that I have installed Lion. Any suggestions?

Visit Intuit for their solutions or find another application that works with Lion of which there are many. Quicken is supposed to be upgraded this year for Lion, but that's only the rumor.
You can also downgrade back to Snow Leopard or partition the drive and install Snow Leopard on a different partition provided you can install Snow Leopard on your Mac model
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.

Automator No Longer Works in Lion

Does HP Color Laserjet 2840 work with Lion?

I am considering upgrading from Snow Leopard to Lion. Will my HP Color Laserjet 2840 work after the upgrade?

I don't know if you have sorted this but I posted this elsewhere on the Forum. I have my HP 2840 working fine in Lion. Occasionally the Director software fires up and can't find the printer so I just turn the printer off then on and everything works OK.
I got a reply from HP who said that they don't make the printer any more and so don't support it. It will only fax and print.
Here is my post:
Has anybody had the frustrating time that I have trying to get their precious HP LaserJet all-in-one scanner/fax/printer working under Lion?
I have spent ages looking over the net and on HP's own site and worked out that formally Apple and HP only support printing on these machines now. The so-called in-built functionality of Lion using Image Capture or Preview etc simply won't work with the HP2840: the HP2840 does not appear as a scanner.
Anyhow, I also found that the HP site does not sem to have the old drivers any more but fortunately I had them backed up in Time Machine so I found the old driver (LJMFP28x0OSX10.5Update-v8.2.dmg).
I tried just running install but it falls over quickly as the 'Start here" link is broken. So I dug around the package and found an install app calle Aio. I ran this and after what seemed ages of countless loops and after the installation program closed down every other app running (I've never seen apps closed so quickly but this may be a Lion thing) the Mac re-booted.
And hey presto! My scanner appears to be working. When it has finished I get the "HP Scan quit unexpectedly" window come up. But otherwise everything seems OK. I then ran the Mac software update and it (re-) installed the HP driver updates and the HP Director program still works and scanning is still available.
If anyone else needs the .dmg file let me know and I will uplaod it somewhere. I assume you can post here and I will be notified.
If someone knows more about this problem or can even get HP to do something better about the (lack of) support I'd be delighted to know.
Good luck!
KL
