HT204032 is this firmware update compatible with Lion?

I have set my MacBook Air to dual boot Lion and Mountain Lion, is this firmware update (MacBook Air SMC firmware update 1.6) compatible with Lion? So if I boot the MacBook into Mountain Lion, accept the firmware update, and then boot into Lion will I have any problems?

Thanks for the responses, but they really don't get me any further because they don't contain anything that I couldn't have inferred myself. I've been developing software for nearly thirty years and just because Lion won't be using this particular feature doesn't mean the change won't break something else.
What I really need is an assurance from Apple that this update has been fully tested on Lion.
I don't have a compelling need for this Power Nap feature so I won't install this update for the moment, unless Apple issues the assurance.

Time Capsule 1TB Will this unit still be compatible with Lion OSX ,As I have not switched yet until other programs I have installed on my mac are up to speed

I have had my eye on one of these for quite some time in the past and up until just very recently have puchased a 1TB Time Capsule at rather quite a reasonable price or so I had thought compared to what they had been priced at originally in the past which I had thought to be a bit over the top as is with most of apple's products or should I more say marketing tactic's,
Anyway I was just wanting to know in general is this unit already so to speak on it's way out or becoming obsolete in comparison to the 2TB's and 3TBs Time Capsules ,
Not the implicating the obvious being storage in differences but more so the compatibility issue side of things,
In short will this unit still work with OSX Lion for example, or is it only limited to Leopard and Snowleopard,
The place I had purchased this unit from are more or less in the dark themselves and although more than helpful are more a musical instrument outlet than a computer store as the decision was my choice alone in which I need not to be convinced,
Although I have purchased this item I am yet to recieve as this unit was the one of the last in the country and is to be shipped in from out of town,
But has given me time to think of such in the process during as this unit is no longer advertised amongst it bigger companions,
I use my mac or mac's mainly for composing music with such software as Pro Tools 8 soon to be 9 and also Live 8 Studio as I don't plan to plan to change over to Lion OSX until these programs are up to speed and speaking the same language,

Yes, it's compatible with Lion.

What iPhoto version is compatible with Lion OSX 10.7.5 and will it let me make photo calendars?

What iPhoto version is compatible with Lion OSX 10.7.5 and will it let me make photo calendars?
I have just upgraded from Leopard to Lion (via Snow Leopard) because I could no longer order photo calendars with iphoto 7.1.5. However, I still have iphoto 7.1.5 and need to upgrade this. From the App store it looks as though I cannot get iphoto 9.5.1 due to the incompatibility with Lion. I was recemmended not to upgrade beyond Lion due to the age of my iMac computer (2008 version) by Stormfront staff.
What is the best iphoto to upgrade to and how do I do this e.g. iLife '09 or '11, or are there any other 'stand-alone' versions of iphoto that would be compatible? How do I know whether my computer is capable of upgrading to Mountain Lion? I definitely want to be able to make photo calendars, books and cards.
Thanks

iPhoto '09 or '11 - purchase an iLife '09 or '11 DVD (amazon or eBay are potential sources) and install iPhoto and update to the latest version for your OS

Camera Raw updates compatible with Snow Leopard

Apple keeps releasing Camera Raw updates that are only compatible with Lion or above. Has anyone heard why they don't seem to support Snow Leopard? There are many of us that don't want to upgrade beyond Snow Leopard for other legacy software reasons.
Come on, Apple. Give us an update!
Carroll Lam

You can send feedback to Apple:
http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphoto.html
We, of course, are just users and have no real knowledge of this.
If you are cynical, you can say that Apple does it to force you to upgrade.
Someone non-cynical would say that it is Apple policy to not support OS's two revisions back.
It could also be that there have been improvements in the RAW decode engine that aren't available in OS 10.6.8.

Is Drobo REALLY compatible with Lion?

I have a 2nd Gen Drobo (4 Bays with Firewire plug). Ever since upgrading to Lion I have had numerous issues. Super Duper (which was always very dependable) is not backing properly and my computer actually gets frozen quite often. I can usually unfreeze it by unplugging the Drobo. The Drobo website says that it is compatible with Lion and the Drobo Dashboard says that the Firmware is up to date and the drive is healthy, yet I still have problems. My Lion install was a clean install.
Am I alone on this?

My Drobo FS is performing no differently under Lion than it did under Snow Leopard. In other words, it's stable but slow as molasses.
Because the FS is a networked drive, though, I'm able to mount it on my desktop through Finder's "Connect to Server" option rather than rely on Drobo Dashboard. I suspect that's what's causing you trouble — on my computers, Drobo Dashboard has never been a stable piece of software.
Hope you're able to figure it out.

Best update compatible with 10.6.8 with a Core i5

What is best update compatible with my macbook pro - OS X 10.6.8 with an Intel Core i5
I am not sure if Mavericks is compatible with this computer, and wonder if anyone has suggestions on what update to get

You can check below:
Upgrading to Mavericks
You can upgrade to Mavericks from Lion or directly from Snow Leopard. Mavericks can be downloaded from the Mac App Store for FREE.
Upgrading to Mavericks
To upgrade to Mavericks you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 or Lion installed. Download Mavericks from the App Store. Sign in using your Apple ID. Mavericks is free. The file is quite large, over 5 GBs, so allow some time to download. It would be preferable to use Ethernet because it is nearly four times faster than wireless.
    OS X Mavericks- System Requirements
    Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Mavericks
         1. iMac (Mid 2007 or newer) - Model Identifier 7,1 or later
         2. MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer) - Model Identifier 5,1 or later
         3. MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
         4. MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer) - Model Identifier 2,1 or later
         5. Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
         6. Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
         7. Xserve (Early 2009) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
To find the model identifier open System Profiler in the Utilities folder. It's displayed in the panel on the right.
     Are my applications compatible?
         See App Compatibility Table - RoaringApps.
Upgrading to Lion
If your computer does not meet the requirements to install Mavericks, it may still meet the requirements to install Lion.
You can purchase Lion at the Online Apple Store. The cost is $19.99 (as it was before) plus tax. It's a download. You will get an email containing a redemption code that you then use at the Mac App Store to download Lion. Save a copy of that installer to your Downloads folder because the installer deletes itself at the end of the installation.
     Lion System Requirements
       1. Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7,
           or Xeon processor
       2. 2GB of memory
       3. OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
       4. 7GB of available space
       5. Some features require an Apple ID; terms apply.
Or you can stick with Snow Leopard. It's up to you. You can install the above on a separate hard drive or a separate volume on a hard drive in order to check it out before you decide to upgrade your main system. Be sure you make backups before you begin any system upgrade.

Is Acrobat X printer (distiller) compatible with Lion?

What does anyone know about Acrobat X, X pro being compatible with Lion - most importantly the distiller. Reason I ask is I'm having issues sending PDfs to certain PC users when I'm using the built in PDf printer in the print dialog. I'm thinking if I use the real Acrobat distiller I may not have this issue, but I don't know if it works with Lion. Adobe's website is less than helpful and doesn't give straight answers.
Thanks for the help

I was under the understanding that Universal meant it was written in such a way that it would run Intel but bring Rosetta in if needed on a PowerPC. In any case, the research I've done in considering Lion said to get rid of all the PowerPC software as it would not work. It said nothing about Universal software. So now Lion is begining to look even scarier.
I am confused though, that a bunch (25%) of Universal software on my father's laptop (I used him for a guinea pig) is working on Lion.

Is there a list for applications compatible with Lion?

As I contemplate the move to Lion from Snow Leopard (10.6.8) I have the usual hesitation about applications and utilities working after the move.
This feeling is especially heightened by the final swan song of Rosetta, I think this might be 2nd only to the move from OS 9 to OS X.
I was wondering if anyone had enocountered a list of software compatible with Lion: applications, utilities, etc?

Very shortly after asking this question I found an answer...

I want to go back to Snow Leopard 10.6 from Lion. Quicken 2007 is not compatible with Lion.

I want to go back to Snow Leopard 10.6 from Lion 10.7.2. Quicken 2007 is not compatible with Lion and I don't like Quicken Essentials 2012.

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.

Is the Aperture software compatible with Lion & iDVD

Is Aperture creating either a movie or slideshow compatible with Lion and then iDVD to burn a DVD using iDVD? As it stands now, with Lion, I cannot burn any DVD using iDVD and iMovie, iPhoto or Aperture.. Does this mean iDVD is broken under Lion and those applications ? If so what new $ software should one buy that is compatible with those Apple Applications to burn those applications to a DVD's ? The iDVD lead in's were really nice..

I'm surprised to hear that iDVD cannot burn a DVD on your system. Have you looked into it at all? Have you tried resetting the PRAM and PMU?
Thank you, Frank,
that surprised me as well! The error message I got was "Your Macintosh does not have a supported SuperDrive". It happens only on my MBP 17" 2.2 GHz Intel Core i7 since OS 10.7.3; I tried some hardware trouble shooting, hardware test, resetting the PRAM and PMU, but then ignored it, because I had no need to use iDVD and still can run iDVD on my SL MBP or the Lion iMac.
Right now I cannot do anything about it, because I have installed a Developer Beta Version of MacOS on that MBP; so I cannot do any further Lion Tests on that machine at the moment, or discuss system related issues concerning that machine in a public forum

Is iPhoto8.1.2 compatible with Lion?

I have several thousand scanned slides stored in iPhoto. I have too many Horror stories about disappearing photos and/or metadata to risk Updating to iPhoto 11. If iP{hoto is not compatible with Lion then Lion is DOA with me

One would expect iPhoto '09 to be compatible however until Lion is released it certainly is impossible to answer the question
As to iPhoto '11 - best you stop listening to horror stories and look at facts - iPhoto '11 is solid and works well and has millions and millions of happy users - and a very few unhappy ones as does every software package - all that is required to protect your precious photos is a good backup - and if you do not have one you will lose them (along with your other files) sooner or later
After Lion is released read the documentation and check to see if people are having problems with older versions of iPhoto

It is certainly not compatable with Mountain Lion so I would doubt if it is supported under ion also. Best way is to download it from here (only 13.5MB)
http://www.kilbot.com.au/2011/10/18/download-e-record/
and if it has a cirle with a line through it, as it does for ML then you will know it is not supported.
You can always contact Kilbot here

and ask if they intend to update it or not.

HT1338 I have version OS X 10.6.8, should I update software with Lion or Mountain Lion ??

I have version OS X 10.6.8, should I update software with Lion or Mountain Lion ??

Read this for apps that are lost whe you go to Lion: http://roaringapps.com/apps:table
But you have more options that you suspect, I think.
You can clone (CarbonCopyClone, $40 download) your drive to an external. This is wise before any upgrade to be able to recover if the upgrade fails.
But also you can keep a SnowLeopard external drive to run your older apps and to preserve your "fallback" in case you decide to go back (I am *not* bashing Lion or ML, just saying some people do want to go back).

Re: Adobe Acrobat compatible with Lion

I just want to be sure Adobe Acrobat 9 is compatible with Lion, as I spoke to an Adobe rep who said it was not.
I ordered Acrobat 9 without checking to see that it was compatible.

This article from Adobe http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/905/cpsid_90508.html (scroll down to "Acrobat Family") says the plug-in doesn't work with Safari 5.1, but the app itself works with OS 10.7 and 10.6. I don't use Acrobat but this implies that the latest version should work with Lion. Maybe an email to them will get an answer for sure.
