Help-upgraded mac mini to lion and now getting spinning ball

I just downloaded and install Lion on a mac mini and I'm getting the old spinning beach ball from ****. Any suggestions? Can I just turn it off and restart?

Hold down the power button down until the screen goes black. Do not disconnect the power cord from the electrical outlet to turn your Mini off.
Wait a minute then try restarting.

    As I said, there have been reports on there of problems for some people using 2008, as you have experienced with particular components of the suite.
    Best solution would be an upgrade to 2011...I have had no issues at all using 2011 with Mac OS X 10.7.4.

  • I just upgraded to OS X Lion and now I can't open the application Adobe ImageReady CS because PowerPC applications are no longer supported. Is there anything I can do to fix this?

    I just upgraded to OS X Lion and now I can't open the application Adobe ImageReady CS because PowerPC applications are no longer supported. Is there anything I can do to fix this?

    There is no fix. It simply means that the software is outdated. Adobe would need to release a newer non-PPC version that supports Lion. They may have done that already, I don't know.

  • Upgraded to OS X Lion and now Pages has no "save as" option

    I upgraded to OS X Lion, and my Pages has mysteriously removed the Save or Save As options.  It gives me "Save a Version" but doesn't allow me to edit the document name or decide where to save it.
    Help!
    j

    Which operating system are you running ?
    Here are four screenshots which I took under 10.7.0.
    CAUTION, in French, Save… is spelled Enregistrer…
    This one was taken just after creating a new document from an in-the-box template.
    The Save… item is available.
    This second one was taken after:
    changing a word just below the date then duplicating the document.
    As the duplicatewas never saved, the Save… item is available.
    Thirs third one was taken just after replacing the string "titre" par "un titre" in the duplicate.
    As this one was never saved before, the Save… item is available.
    This 4th one was taken after saving once the duplicate then inserting "nouveau" between "un" and "titre".
    As the doc was already saved once, the available menu item is no longer "Save As…" but "Save a Version".
    I hope that this time you saw the Save… (Enregistrer…) item.

  • Created 3 partitions on new Mac Mini, deleted one, and now Bootcamp wont boot anymore! Need help please!

    Here's my dilemma.  I have a new Mac Mini - a week old.  I installed Windows 7 on it using Mac's Bootcamp assistant.  I then set up and configured my Windows 7 world and everything worked fine.  No issues logging in between Lion or Win7 via the restart/option key procedure.  Well, yesterday I split my Mac HD partition one more time to create a third partition (was created as an "extra", e.g. possible future partition for another operating system).  After creating it, I then decided that I didn't really need it.  So I deleted it in Disk Utility and attempted to drag the Mac HD partition line downward so as to "fill in the gap" and reclaim the lost hardrive space.  It seemed as if I could reclaim about 1 gig or so, but I figured...oh well. 
    Well, the Mac HD partition seems to work just fine, but now I've noticed that I can't get into the Bootcamp partition anymore.  It wont boot.  If I try to verify the partition [doesn't even give me "repair" as an option), then it fails and gives me the following error message: "verify volume failed.  invalid request."  When I go to the Startup Disk option in my System Preferences section, it displays the bootcamp partition as a folder and not as a drive anymore.
    I'm assuming that I messed up some permissions or lost some vital links during my attempted resizing/reclaiming of harddrive space.  How do I fix this without having to reload either all of my Mac info or all or my Win7 info?  I'd hate to consider the last two days of my life loading this crap up a complete loss. 
    Thanks in advance!

    Hi surroundsound,
    you can't put more partitions on internal HD once you install winOS with Boot Camp.
    The sure fix is to delete the windows partition (with Boot Camp Assistant, not Disk Utility), then getting rid of the extra partition (with Disk Utility).
    then you can re-install your win& (recreate the win. partition with Boot Camp) - don't add any partitions after.

  • HT5225 I just upgraded to OS X Lion, and now I can't open my Quicken!!!

    I just upgraded to OS X Lion 10.7.3 and now it's telling me I can't open the application Quicken anymore, because PowerPC aplications are no longer supported!  I sincerely hope someone knows how to resolve this.  I'm in big trouble!  I get the same message when I try to open Excel, Word, and a game called Mah Jong.  Thank you!

    The Quicken issue has been a hot topic in the Quicken forum as well as many others.  Intuit did not provided an updated Quicken when Lion came out.  I believe that within the past month Intuit has announced a version that does work in Lion, I looked into it, but was not impressed; there were some technical issues that prevent me from using it (don't recall the details though).  Fortunately, I found out about the Quicken mess when Lion came out, and like many users, migrated the quicken data files over to a common format that could be imported into a number of new financial apps like iBank.  Intuit lost a lot of Mac users over this.
    As for Excel and Word, you have to buy Microsoft's newest version of Office on Mac to be compatible.

  • Mac mini slowed down and now will not start up

    Help!
    I couple days ago i noticed my mac was running a bit slower than usual but I just ignored it since I brought it home for the holidays and thought it might just be the internet connection. Then, yesterday, I turned it on in the morning and it was running so slow that it would take up to 10 minutes just to open any window. TODAY, i turned it on again to try to solve the problem after being unsuccessful yesterday, and now the fan starts blowing really loud as soon as i turn it on as if it were hot (i don't know, im not very smart with computers) and it will not load past the first grey screen or the second blue one.
    Any ideas on how to solve this problem? Also, if it matters, i'm not sure what my 'OS' is and since i can't turn my mac on i can't find out what it is at the moment...
    Thanks for any suggestions!

    Thanks for the info about having wrongly applied the PMU reset to your Intel Mini. That will account for the fan running full blast. Only known (cheap) fix is to apply the correct SMC reset.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964?viewlocale=en_US
    (The Mini's reset procedure is at the very end of that link.)
    If that fixes the fan, then we have to consider that your original problem had something to do with the hard drive. Either the hard drive was too full, or else it was starting to fail and needed to re-read sectors -- which would account for things getting very slow.
    Do you have any recollection of how full the drive was? Any warning messages?
    To check for HardDrive failure or file system corruption, typically one would startup the Mini from the install disc that shipped with it and run DiskUtility from the Utilities menu at the top of the screen. But it seems you can't get your hands on that disc -- and you pretty much need the kind of disc that shipped with your model of Mini.

  • Upgraded MacBookPro6,2 to Lion and now computer freezes before login

    Hi everyone,
    As the subjed line says, I upgraded to Lion and everything smoothly (aparently), but after I tried to install Xcode for Lion the pc started getting slower and slower. The 10.7 Core libraries never installed (kept failing) and now the computer freezes before I can login. I tried to reinstall Lion (Pressing ⌘+R after hard powerdown) and following the prompts, but that failed. No reasons why, it just said user cancelled.
    Before I wipe out my hard drive, is there something else I can do? Any help is appreciated.
    Thanks

    I am typing this reply from my MacBook Pro after recovering from the problem above. This post is for anyone else who might have the same problem. These are the steps to follow to be able to log back in:
    Power down the computer and then press ⌘+R while powering up. This is called Lion Recovery, according to this knowledge base article: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4718
    In the options presented, select Disk Utility and verify the hard drive (HD) and repair the permissions on it. If your HD is not OK after verifying it, you will need to repair the HD as well.
    Once the step above is complete, restart the computer.
    Log in as normal.
    Once you log in, it is important to find and solve whatever is causing the freeze.
    In my case, it was a botched Xcode installation. If you do not fix the problem, the computer will freeze again next time you restart it, so make sure you check everything and uninstall anything that you may have installed recently. Some Adobe applications have known issues as of this posting (July 2011), so definitely remove anything new from Adobe you may have installed after upgrading to Lion or in the last couple of weeks.
    Final note: If you cannot find the problem and your computer freezes again the next time you restart, you can regain access to it by following the steps above. Follow them, log in and make a backup of your important stuff and either go back to Leopard or contact Apple support for further instructions.
    Good luck!

  • I upgraded my iMac to Lion and now it won't keep a wireless connection. Any suggestions on what I can try?

    Upgraded my 27" iMac (4 GB memore/3.2 GHz Intel Core i3) to Lion 10.7 and now it won't keep a connection to my wireless. I've had to shift over to working on my MacBook Pro which is also upgraded to Lion but showing no problems whatsoever.
    I bought the iMac this summer, refurbished from Apple. I've also never been able to get it to play video ... might or might not be related to the problem here. (yes, I've updated the silverlight)
    Any suggestions on what it might be or what I can try?

    Have you used Software Update to update to 10.7.1. That update was suppose to fix some WiFi Issues.  http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4764

    Mid-2010 15" MacBook Pros - the bad NVIDIA GPU
    If you're having frequent kernel panics with your 15" mid-2010, or intermittent screen problems, the problem is, more than likely, the faulty NVIDIA GPU found in a number of those machines.
    Here's just a sample of a kernel panic log that points to the faulty NVIDIA card:
    Kernel Extensions in backtrace (with dependencies):
             com.apple.GeForce(6.4.0)@0x82ac4000->0x82b7afff

    Here's the "official" Apple take on the issue - but the very real kernel panics need not be preceded by 'Intermittent black screen or loss of video'... in fact, you might not experience any video problems at all. Although video problems can certainly be a portent of things to come…
    So what can you do? Print out a copy of your kernel panic and a copy of the Knowledge Base article and take them, along with your machine, to your local Apple Store or an Apple Authorized Service Provider. They should be more than willing to install a new logic board at no cost. I have no idea why this faulty GPU is making the headline here on the MacBook Pro forum so often now - could it be because Mountain Lion is just bringing the issue to a head more readily? I don't know - I only know that we're seeing more and more of these kernel panics of late.
    Good luck,
    Clinton
