Could be for them, who knows.
FWIW all of my systems run faster than Lion. Battery life is a tiny bit longer on the MacBooks.
Back up your system and if you don't like it, you could always revert. You'll be out all of $20.
I don't miss Lion, Snow Leopard, or any other OS X version, not a bit, and I have used every Mac OS there has ever been. If I preferred an earlier version, I'd be using it instead.

TS1398 Hi...My wifi is not working. It is not dimmed out. When I turn it on it does not pick up any of the networks around me (I know there are a lot of networks available) I have tried resetting my wifi with the steps above but it still does not work. Pl

I have the most recent update.

That you are getting the BONG is a good sign, it's unlikely to be hardware if you are able to hear that.
Start by running SW update. It's not that there is a specific fix, but when updating it may rewrite some system files which may get this going again purely as a side affect. Worth a go, and should not harm the system.
Try reset the PRAM - Resetting your Mac's PRAM and NVRAM
Hopefully one of these quick fixes works, otherwise we'll need to try isolate the issue next - so if still having a problem, I'd try create a new user and login as that user to see if the issue persists (which will tell us if it's system wide or user specific)

How do I move large files from a Windows computer to my MacBook Pro? There are a lot of photos (tiffs

How do I move large files from a Windows computer to my MacBook Pro? There are a lot of photos (tiffs, jpgs, some photoshopped files), iTunes library, word docs. Is there a particular type of external hard drive that can be used or am I limited to copying stuff onto z-drive and moving that way?

If both computers are on the same network, you can share the files from the Windows host using SMB and mount the share on the Mac. Otherwise, the Mac should be able to read (not necessarily write) any storage device formatted in Windows.

Final cut pro X is supposed to accept AVI. Yet the AVI files my client gave me don't work. I know there are softwares that can convert AVI to APPLE PRORES, but does that affect the quality of the media ?

Final cut pro X is supposed to accept AVI. However the AVI files my client gave me cannot be imported in my Final cut pro X. I know there are softwares that can convert AVI to APPLE PRO RES, but does that alter the quality of the media ?

There are apps that will give you tech specs on files. I think Media Info is one. Most likely it's in done delivery codec like DiVX. AVI is a piece of **** as a container anyway and should have been completely abandoned years ago.

I cannot shu down my iMac (for days) as I get the following message:Photos are being imported to the photo library. Now as far as I know there are no photos being imported and even if there were 5 days is crazy. How can I resolve this please?

Open Activity monitor in Utilities, go to the CPU tab>All Processes, and note any process that would appear to be related to importing photos, such as iPhoto, and use Force Quit. This may only be a temporary fix, as it may start all over again when you reboot. If that happens, we need to do some more investigating.
Also, close all open Applications, then open Terminal in Utilities and copy/paste and hit return, then post the output of this command.

HT204409 I am trying to log onto my wireless connection but it keeps telling me I'm unable to locate any wireless network. I know there are several networks nearby. Is this a problem with my phone or my router?

I found a solution that has worked on both iPhone 4's I have that have had the same issues, and also including not being able to download updates in the App store.
Go to Settings > WiFi and turn it OFF.
Next go to General > Cellular > Cellular Data and turn it OFF
Next go back to Settings > WiFi and turn it ON, (wait a few seconds for it to sync with your network)
Finally go back to General > Cellular > Cellular Data and turn it ON.
I had the same issues on both my wife's phone, and my own, and it fixed it immediately without changing any proxy settings or reboots, (which I did try on my phone and did not work, but did not try on my wife's phone)
Hope this helps!

When I open my "Mail" app it only shows 2 messages when I know there are more. How do I resolve this?

When I choose my "Mail" app it only shows 2 messages in my inbox when I know there are more. How do I resolve this? Thanks.

You need to create HTML signatures for use with the Apple Mail apps. You can't just throw in a logo, it has to be stored on the internet and it's location coded into your signature. You may find a service and an app that helps you do that in the iTunes App Store.

AppStore doesn't know there are updates unless you kill it?

I noticed on the web that Fring had updated their iPhone app. I went to the App Store (via the iPhone) and it said all my apps were up to date. I thought, that's odd and tried again, same thing. It was not until I went into the recently used apps tray, killed the App Store, exited the tray and select the App Store icon again that if finally found 9 updates to Apps I own. So, if you never kill it you will never know there are App updates? Really?

Interesting... It may be an intermittent issue then, similar to how I get black squares in the camera roll and pictures that don't show up. That is until the app is killed or the phone is rebooted.
I should mention that I don't believe I had rebooted my phone in several days so this App was backgrounded and each time I'd bring it up to look for updates I'd have none. If the same thing has been happening to you, you might want to try killing the App in the recently used tray and selecting it again from your home screen.
I really am starting to feel like this was sort of rushed to market. This stuff was not tested well, or was released with these issues known (even worse). Maybe there are Apps that cause it to get into this state, some that are not working properly in iOS4?

HT4059 How do you actually search for free books - a few are listed, but not many and I know there are thousands more, but can't figure out how to see the complete list or at least a genre list. Thanks!

How to access the list and genre of the free ebooks, also the paid ones. I have a few, but I know there are thousands of others to choose from, but don't know how to access them. Thanks!

I'm another one of the very grumpy customers regarding the problems synching Outlook calendars with the new 2.0 iPhone.
I have another twist: I did not ever have multiple calendars in Outlook until the 2.0 update; I had just one. After I updated the iPhone software to 2.0 I have multiple calendars which I did not create. My iPhone has all the events listed, color coded by these various calendars, but when I look at my calendar(s) in Outlook, I can not see all the events at once. So my iPhone is the most complete, and my computer version is fragmented. This is an unacceptable royal pain. I'm relieved to know it's not just me, my iPhone, my Outlook, etc., but I'm definitely one of the many of us who are grumpy with Apple and impatient for their fix.
My question is: how do I sync my Outlook to my iPhone and delete all these calendars without deleting events? I just want one calendar again: mine, all mine.
PS I do have recurring events, but way too many to hand change them all; that's ridiculous. Even if I didn't have many of those it's ridiculous that the recurrences should create these problems. It's a pretty basic electronic calendar function.

My ipad mail is synced to my iMac mail account. On iPad, I can only see my inbox and sent messages. I can't see any of the folders I have created on my iMac. How do I do that? Probably a dumb question, but I know there's a lot of smart people out there!

My iPad mail is synced to my private email account, which I organise on my iMac. On iPad, I can only see inbox and sent messages folders, not any of the other folders in my email account I have created on my iMac. How do I get iPad to show my other folders? Probably a dumb question, but I know there's a lot of smart people out there.

If you select a mailbox, you should get an Edit button (easier to see in landscape mode). Clicking the button will provide you with check circles for the messages. You also get Delete and Move buttons at the bottom. Check the messages you want to move and then navigate to the mailbox you want to drop them into. I think as long as you can navigate to a mailbox you can move the messages to it.
In the Mac Mail application and probably Outlook on the Windows side, you also setup rules to move messages to specific mailboxes. If the mailboxes are stored on the server, then you can have the sorting done on the server and they should appear that way on the iPad. If your later messages do not show up, you may need to have the iPad app pulled down more messages until they are all showing.

I am trying to find an app or software to burn iMovie slideshow to a dvd. I have a MacBook Pro with Mavericks. There are a lot of DVD Creator apps a the App store. Looking for a recommendation of what to use and tips.

I am trying to find an app or software to burn iMovie 11 slideshow to a dvd. I have a MacBook Pro with Mavericks. There are a lot of DVD Creator apps at the App store. Looking for a recommendation of what to use and tips. Thank you.

I've been using "Burn" for years and it has been the only DVD burning software I have ever used for the mac. I have never needed to look at other apps. Unless you want something that has more bells and whistles such as Roxio's "Toast" : http://www.roxio.com/enu/products/toast/pro/overview.html
There are thousands of quality free apps out there for the mac that are not part of the App Store. All you have to do is read reviews online, do a little search, the Apple forums are full of recommendations from experienced users that have been here for years...

If images are missing then check that you do not block images from some domains.
*Tap the Alt key or press F10 to show the Menu bar.
Check the permissions for the domain in the currently selected tab in "Tools > Page Info > Permissions"
Check "Tools > Page Info > Media" for blocked images
*Select the first image link and use the cursor Down key to scroll through the list.
*If an image in the list is grayed and "Block Images from..." has a checkmark then remove this checkmark to unblock images from this domain.
Make sure that you do not block (third-party) images, the permissions.default.image pref on the about:config page should be 1.
Make sure that you haven't enabled a High Contrast theme in the Windows/Mac Accessibility settings.
Make sure that you allow pages to choose their own colors.
*Tools > Options > Content : Fonts & Colors > Colors : [X] "Allow pages to choose their own colors, instead of my selections above"
Note that these settings affect background images.

There are extensions like Adblock Plus (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) and security software (firewall, anti-virus) that can block images and other content.

It seems like there are a lot of issues with the 3GS on iOS 5.1

It seems like there are a lot of issues with the 3GS on iOS 5.1, should I stay with 4.3.5? Part of what worries me is that my business is completely reliant on this phone and the billing and job tracking software I use, so if something were to happen I would be in trouble. Also, myself not being all that tech savy I am wondering if by hooking my iphone up to itunes once every couple of weeks, is it creating a backup file? If I had to replace my phone could I just plug the new one into itunes and have all of my apps and data transferred onto the new phone? I want to get proactive about this so at the very least I'm not tempting fate.
Many thanks,
Stephan

Looking around here, what you are going to see is problems. People don't come to forums like this to talk about how smoothly their phone is working.
Backing up every couple of weeks is OK, if you can afford to lose several weeks worth of data.
That's one of the huge advantages of iOS5. Wireless backups to iCloud. Plug your phone in to charge at night, and if you have WiFi, it will back up without the need for you to do anything. If it gets run over by a truck, you get a new one, restore from iCloud, and off you go.
if you don't update, you're going to start running into problems soon as new versions of many apps REQUIRE iOS 5.

HASH MISMATCH. Yes, I know there are 100 threads about this!

Hello,
Well, as I read on the forums, this problem seems to be common, and it doesn't have a clear solution. So, I don't care if they say they don't know. There IS a big problem, and they are not giving very helpful answers.
Recently I was feeling nostalgic and bought the game Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic, everything went fine until it reached 200mb downloading. Then as you know the Hash Mismatch error appeared.
I've tried everything, from changing ISPs, to resetting the router/modem.
I have already sent a ticket about this, but clearly they are NOT solving the problem.
We are a lot, so please, don't just look the other way Apple.
Thank you all,
Martin

I am aware of this particular error that folks are seeing... it's perplexing espcially if you haven't downloaded the app previosuly.
If you haven't done so, you could try deleting the cache associated with the App Store.
Go to ~/Library/Caches/com.apple.appstore/Cache.db
Move the Cache.db file from the com.apple.appstore folder to the Trash.
Restart your Mac.
One other thing to try... is to startup in Safe Mode
That deletes system caches that may help.
A Safe Mode boot take a bit longer then a normal boot, be patient.
Once you see the Desktop, click the Apple menu top left corner of the screen then click Restart.
