Glitches on our new iMac with lion osx 10.7.2

Our family has been experiencing various glitches with our computer and we have tried everything to fix it with no success. These are some of the glitches/problems we have experienced:
-When desktop picture changes, it flickers to the next one like an old tv rather than fading like it should
-itunes does not work (doesnt play any song no matter how much you press the play button
-If you try to turn the volume up or down it just shows a circle with a cross and doesnt respond
-Takes far longer to shut down and start up than usual
-Unable to open downloaded applications, eg; minecraft (doesnt open until after 20 or more clicks than shows a crash report), logmein hamachi (says it cant connect to the engine
-Flickers in the middle of the screen when switching between fullscreen apps etc.
These glitches usually only happen when you leave it and login the next day for example.
The store has tried everything from testing and changing the ram, replacing the new computer, and reinstalling the software to no success : (
Any suggestions or advice would be great, but we are running out of things to try and I'm getting really sick of it...

Hi...
Well, as Paul says, you could just let it sleep. I do.
When i will be away for a longer time, i shut it down, and also turn keyboard etc. off.
And yes, its a bit anoying, but hopefully it wil get fixed in some update.
To increase the chances of that, please report this issue to Apple as i have:

Without knowing what you have tried please open System Preferences - Sharing - File Sharing and select File Sharing. If you still have trouble you can call AppleCare in the morning when they re-open. You have 90 days of telephone support if you haven't already bought AppleCare.

Does anyone know why or what is the reason when starting a new iMac with Lion a gray bar sometimes appears when loading software?

Does anyone know why or what is the reason when starting a new iMac with Lion, sometimes a gray bar appears under the Apple that begins to shade to dark as it loads OS? It does this on occasion. One time the system loaded was VERY slow and terrible colors. Pulled the plug, re-started the computer and it did not do this. As I say, its only on occasion, not every time. I noticed in the discussion page there were problems listed for 10.6 nothing for Lion.
Please advise, if possible.

You should see this 4 option menu. Click on Disk Utility:
In Disk Utility, Select FIRST AID and then VERIFY and then REPAIR the disk.
Ciao.

Just bought a new iMac, with Lion, for my wife. When is was wifi with her old iMac on line with it's printer, HP C6200, no problems printing. Now that it is by itself it does not recognize the C6200...It recognizes my laser hp 1012 and laser hp 6300

Now that it is by itself it does not recognize the C6200...It recognizes my laser hp 1012 and laser hp 6300 but will not print to them wanting an autenication

How is the C6200 connected to the iMac, is it via USB or Wi-Fi? If it's via Wi-Fi please make sure it's connected to the router using the printer's Network Wizard. Then click System Preferences - Print & Scan and assuming the iMac is on the same network as the printer, if it is the printer should be seen. If it's not then click the + sign and add the printer. Apple provides instructions in Printing Overview OS X Lion

Recently got new iMac with Lion.....when I try to load my LogicPro software, I get 'OS does not support power PC'. Is there a download to fix or must I spend another 500 on software?

What version of Logic do you have?
And if you end up upgrading, it's only $199 now.

I installed Ilife'11: when I open IDVD it doesn't find the Idvd themes.
What is happening?

To get to the App Store, you need to upgrade the Tiger machine to Snow Leopard.

I was told that my new imac with Lion could burn dvds..so I bought it..now have finished editing a wedding in iMovie full of HD stills mixed with video from a non HD SonyDCR-SX63.. just saw the scary question.. "Where is your iDVD? How do I make a DVD?

If you are still within your 15 day return period. Call Apple they will sent out iDVD at no charge. (There are no realistic substitutes.)
Nicely explain that you may return the computer without iDVD. You MUST speak to a senior advisor to get a free copy. The first tier people cannot do it.

If that doesn't work you can purchase iLife 11 (includes iDVD) on disk.
IDVD is a wonderful piece of software and well worth the low cost of $40.

How do I make my old "Appleworks" documents, open in "Pages", on our new Apple with Lion?

We wrote letters on Applescript for 7 years on our former Imac G5. All were put in our new
Imac, and I marked Imack intel, but I'm not sure what the name of this new desktop with huge screen, is.
But now old letters must be opened in "Numbers", which has a check mark as Default,
and a right clik on the wireless mouse MUST be done, to choose to open it in Pages-
every single one of hundreds of letters (documents).
How do I make open in Pages the Default?
This is even more important, as the wireless mouse is not being recognized, so we bought a
wired mouse, which is like our old one and easier for my husband to use.
But the wired mouse does not have that R clik, and so I can't open ANY documents.
Thanks to anyone who can help.

For individual files, you can just drag the file onto the Pages icon in the Dock.
If your mouse doesn't have a Right click, hold the ctrl key when clicking. Apple for many years only had single-button mice, so that method has always been present.

Old iMac with Snow Leopard to new iMac with Lion - can I do this?

Hi folks,
1. I have a 6 year old iMac running Snow Leopard (can't upgrade to Lion)
2. Just bought a new iMac running Lion.
3. I want to migrate all accounts, files, apps, etc from old iMac to new iMac (about 150 Gb worth)..
4. I would normally connect both iMacs either with an Ethernet cable or via wi-fi network and run Setup Assistant to move everything to the new iMac.
Based on my experience doing this on other Macs I have, I know it's gonna take 8 to 10 hours to migrate everything over to the new iMac so I'm looking for ways to migrate so my iMac isn't tied up all day and I don't have to spend all day in front of the computer making sure all is o.k. So, if I make a bootable clone on a separate portable drive using SuperDuper, can I hook that drive up (instead of old iMac) to my new iMac and run Setup Assistant that way? That would free up the old iMac to use while the new iMac crunches away copying all those files from the portable drive. Will that work? Has anyone done this successfully? Any cautions or things to watch for?
Thanks everyone,
Ed

Linc,
Thanks for the info, but I want to use an external FireWire drive as the target disk, not the old iMac. I'd need to keep the external FireWire drive connected to the old iMac in order to use the screen, keyboard, mouse, etc. Could I just connect the FW drive to the new iMac and then start up the new iMac in hopes it would "recognize" the external FireWire drive through Setup Assistant?

PowerPC iMac 10.5 to new iMac with Lion

I will replace my iMac PowerPC running Leopard (not Snow Leopard) next month. Will I be able Migration Assistant to transfer files, applications, etc. to the new iMac? I have heard of problems if incompatible items are installed on the new macs with Lion. What should I do and NOT do?

Hello,
There are caveats migrating from PPC to Intel, I had no problems, but that was to 10.6.8 using Target Disk Mode on the PPC Macs, see Kappy's fine/detailed "A Basic Guide for Migrating to Intel-Macs"...
https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-2295
I'm not sure 10.9 can Migrate from 10.5.8, but to bypass needing a non-existant update for 10.5.8, you need a Firewire cable, likely a Thunderbolt to FW adapter, & boot the 10.5.8 Mac holding the t key, so it appears as a FW Hard Drive to the new one.

If they're both on the same network you can enable file sharing on both and transfer files through your LAN, you don't need any cables.

Leopard iMac now,iPad2 now,new iMac with Lion coming in May,how do I handle moving to iCloud?

especially email, which is now in MacMail.
As titile says I have an aging pre Intel iMac running 10.5.8, an iPad 2 with the latest iOS and I am going to replace the old G5 iMac with a new iMac running Lion in May.
So I will transition my MobileMe to the Cloud before the world as we know it ends...
My question is whether I can get ahead of the game by using my iPad to move to the iCloud now, and catch up with the desktop transition later--will this result in chaos later?
I did not do a search for this because I could not fathom how to phrase the search .
I would be grateful if some iCloud gurus could unravel this for me.
TIA
Caroline

You can do either, if you migrate to iCloud now you will need to use iCloud.com from your browser to access your calendars and contacts though as iCal and address book will cease to sync.

I have new iMac with Lion installed; can I get a free upgrade for my MacBook Pro?

Hello
I recently bought a 27" iMac with Lion installed. Should I be able to download the upgrade for my MacBook Pro without paying. If so what should I do. If I go to the App Store I'll end up paying £20.99
Any help gratefully received
margaret

Margaret,
No you will need to purchase the upgrade. However if you own other Macs you want to upgrade once you have purchased Lion then you can upgrade the additional machines. Of course the additional machines must be using the same Apple ID. As long as the additional machine's meet the minimum system requirements listed below you are all set.
General requirements
Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7, or Xeon processor
2GB of memory
OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
7GB of available space
Some features require an Apple ID; terms apply.
