HT4628 Mac Lion OS issues

After installing Mac OS Lion my iMac will not stay connected to wifi. I've read numerous discussion strings and this problem is pervasive with OS Lion. Apple needs to address this ASAP! Is there an answer discovered in the last few days?

These links helped me solve the problems:
First, the Mac Lion OS/Wifi issue:

Second, Mac Lion OS to default wallpaper issue:
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3196420?start=15&tstart=0
So far the problems are solved. Apple fumbled big time on the Mac Lion OS. Lot's of problems and we shouldn't have to search for solutions to petty issues. Apple loyalty eroding.

How can I print to my HP OfficeJet 6500 Wireless Printer from my iPhone 4S which used to work before AirPrint printers were even available? (running Mac Lion OS, all software and HP sw updates are all performed)

How can I print to my HP OfficeJet 6500 Wireless Printer from my iPhone 4S which used to work (on prior iPhones) before AirPrint printers were even available? (running Mac Lion OS, all software and HP sw updates are all performed)
I don't get it, I read one post about why would we have to buy an AirPrint Printer when we have used the "print to a wifi printer" just fine in the past? Yes I feel that's exactly what's happening to me now too. I want to print from my iPhone and iPad to my WiFi Printer which is also now connected to my Airport Express WiFi network just fine. No problems.

Very glad you added that bit of information because I see different problems similar to this. I want to share with them what you did and hopefully you not only fixed your specific problem but you can lend some more advice to others with problems like this. Thanks!
Don't forgot to say thanks by giving "Kudos" if I helped solve your problem.

Mac Lion and Cisco VPN client problems

I just installed Lion 10.7 on my iMac and can no longer use the downloaded Cisco VPN client to connect to Microsoft Remote Desktop and access the PC in my company's office. When I try to launch the VPN client I get Error 51. I used to be able to enter a command in the Terminal as a workaround to use the VPN client when that happened, but that no longer works. I have tried booting into 32-bit mode; doesn't work. I tried to use the Cisco client built into Lion using settings provided by my company. When I try to connect I get the following message: "The negotiation with the VPN server failed. Verify the server address and try reconnecting."
I have searched the web looking for a solution. My company's tech department is stumped; the Apple Geniuses haven't been able to help. Does anyone have any ideas how I can use either the downloaded Cisco VPN client or the client built into Lion?

Here is the link which you can use to configure the inbuilt VPN client in MAC Lion.
http://glazenbakje.wordpress.com/2011/07/28/how-to-create-a-cisco-vpn-connection-in-apple-mac-os-x-lion/
Make sure you configure the attributes correctly.
Secondly the inbuilt VPN client code of Lion is made in collaboration with Cisco so there will not be any issues of compatibility.

Don't know if this is a Lion only issue or what. I've sent the full log to palmlevel3. Hope this keeps someone from ripping their hair out, like I did...
Post relates to: HP TouchPad (WiFi)

this issue was particularly upsetting today, as my phone was at 100% last night, during the night Irene knocked our power out, and apparently something about this drained by battery to only 40% when I woke up. Luckily my laptop is charged, so I can usb charge my phone, but I had hoped to use that later in the day, not first thing in the morning.
hopefully a resolution to this is being worked on.

Mac Lion does not burn or read DVD-R CD

This seems to be a problem for all mac lion osx users (not sure if it includes the mac products that came out this year)... it pertains to DVD-R cd's..... This SHOULD be a BIGGER issue, and Apple just came out with an update today, but the issue persists.

If you want to report it to Apple's engineers, send a bug report via its Bug Reporter system. To do this, join the Mac Developer Program—it's free and available for all Mac users and gets you a look at some development software. Since you already have an Apple username/ID, use that. Once a member, go to Apple BugReporter and file your bug report. The nice thing with this procedure is that you get a response and a follow-up number thus starting a dialog with engineering.

Can't install 14.1.0 update on my Mac Lion, 10.7.5.

Hi there,
I can't install 14.1.0 update package on my Mac Lion, the version is 10.7.5, My Office for Mac 2011 version is 14.0.0, it always tell me: "Office 2011 14.1.0 Update can't be installed on this disk. A version of software required to install this update was not found on this volume." I read the threads about installing update package failed and reinstall Office follow: http://www.office.mvps.org/install/reinstall_office2011.html, but, I can't install update package still.
Any suggestions?
Thanks a lot!

Thanks a lot for your answer first.
But, It doesn't work for me :(.
Actually, I have one hard disk drive only and there are two partitions on it, and I installed Mac 10.6 and Office 2011 on partition 1 and installed Mac 10.7 on partition 2 recently, is it the point of the issue?
I removed the Office 2011 installed at partition 1 by running "Remove Office 2011 Uninstaller.pkg" introduced in the "http://www.office.mvps.org/install/reinstall_office2011.html", after did this, I can't install 14.1.0 update package still, the problem is same.

Brand New Bluetooth Keyboard doesn't pair at startup on MAC Lion Server

Hi,
Just got a new Mac Lion Server Mac Mini and went to set up last night.
Apple logo and chime comes up. Then the screen to turn on Bluetooth Keyboard and Magic Mouse comes up. I turned on the power on the mouse and keyboard. The keyboard doesn't pair and the mouse does. As soon as the computer realizes the mouse is connected, it moves on to the setup screens (username, server setup etc.) and doesn't care that the keyboard is not set up yet. Of course, since I cannot type usernames etc. for the server, I get stuck.
I rebooted (hard power shutdown) several times in the hope that one time (accidently) the keyboard would be picked up but no such luck.
My PS3 recognized the Apple Keyboard so it's not the keyboard.
I didn't have a USB keyboard around so I have to wait till tonight to try to set up. I have a couple of questions.
1. Anything with Mac Mini defective? Is it something for me to worry about?
2. After I use the USB Keyboard, will my system recognized the Apple keyboard and keep it memorized. I don't have a problem doing a one time setup in this fashion, but if it continues then I'd like to nip it in the bud.
3. Should I take it to the Apple store?
Thanks for all you help.

This is an all too common issue. It happened for me as well. I don't think there's anything defective on your mini. I used a wireless keyboard (USB) to complete the setup. Once I was in Lion, I paired my Apple BT keyboard and haven't had a problem since.

Mac lion os x 10.7 & hp photosmart c5500.

I am need of DESPERATE help. I've searched all over the internet for answer to this problem I'm having with my HP Photosmart C5500 Printer, I am trying to either connect it via Bluetooth or Network Connection (If this printer is even capable of that?), it will not pair with the bluetooth on my Mac Lion 10.7 for some reason, when I try to link the two devices I get an error message saying "the device does not have the necessary services". If anyone has a solution PLEASE HELP.

Hi aig91,
I had the same issue but I'm afraid that duplex printing isn't possible with this printer. Arrrrrgh! I wouldn't have bought this printer if I'd noticed this fact in advance.
It seems crazy that a brand new printer model from HP would ship without this capability.

How can I reload my copy of Mac lion aftre ereasing the hard disk.

How can I redownload my copy of mac lion again?? I downloaded the the copy via
OS X Lion Up to Date Program then and due to some issues in the copy I tried to reinstall mac lion through rcovery tools upon booting but I received this message " a server with the specified host couldnt be found". then I used the original dvd to boot the system and install leopard via erasing the hard disk.

You can go to the Apple online store and purcahse a copy of Mountain Lion. This will give you a redemption code, which you can use to download Mountain Lion from the App Store. Unfortuantely, I'm not aware of any other way to legally purchase it. I have never seen Apple release Muontain Lion on DVD.
In terms of Apple Service, they just need the serial number of the machine to check the purcahse date. It is usually correct, to within a few weeks. A quick Google search should give you the correct number to dial.
I hope this helps.

C5150 and mac lion OS

I have a HP Photosmart C5150 All-In-One printer using the MAC LION OS. I suddenly cannot scan with out the computer telling me that there is another program using the scanner. I have turned all programs off and rebooted to no avail. Do I need to reload any drivers? I use to be able to scan, save, email and print all scans that I wanted in the past. Anybody got any ideas?

Problem Installing CS on Mac Lion OS

I just upgraded to Mac Lion OS and can't install Creative Suite - I have CS2, CS3 Update and CS5 Update. I have to install CS2 to enable installing CS3/CS5 but CS2 is a powerPC app that Lion doesn't support. Is there a workaround for installing CS5 Update without having to install CS2 first?
Sorry - User malfunction - I didn't need CS2 installed on the system to allow installation of CS5 (that's how I'd always done it in the past - old habits...). Start installing CS5 (not CS2 which is the original qualifying product for the upgrades) and the CS5 installer will ask for the CS5 serial # then it will request the serial number of a qualifying product. It allowed CS3 but didn't have selection for CS2. The CS3 upgrade s/n was acceptable for installing CS5. After that, all of CS5 installed fine and all apps appear to be working correctly.

CS2 is not compatible with the Mac Lion. CS3 or later are compatible with Mac Lion but there are some known issue , please find the link for the same:- http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/global/known-issues-mac-os-10.html
Now to install the CS5 there is no need to install CS2 , CS3 , CS4 and so on , Just run the installation of CS5 and when asked for the previous version serial number put it in and your CS5 will be installed.

Power Mac Lion Won't Boot! Fixes

Ok, I have the following: 2 x 2.66 Ghz Dual-Core Intel Xeon Power Mac that had 10.6.8, 4 GB MHz DDR@ FB-Dimm Ram over 4 slots. I had the original hard drive (Western Digital Caviar SE 250gb Ram HD model #WD2500AAJS-41RYA0) drive in this morning, and cloned it to a Seagate Barracuda SATA 1 TB 7200rpm 32 Cache Hard Drive. When I formated the new drive, I did it journaled. I took out the Western Digital and made the Seagate Barracuda the boot drive. I also installed a second drive, a Seagare Barracuda SATA 2 TB 7200rpm in bay 2. That drive is not journaled since I am storing video on it. Both of the new drives were formated properly and without issue. They worked all day without issue. This evening, I downloaded Lion without issue. It installed and rebooted. Everytime the computer boots, it goes to the "you need to reboot screen" aka "Mac Kernel Panic Screen" with four languages. Here is a link to the image: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3742. Any ideas of what is happening or what I did wrong? Any thoughts on what happened? Any fixes? Help please. Do you need any other information?

OK. ALSO, I installed the OLD hard drive on its own and it boots fine. It seems like it can't find the new drive. Thoughts?

I just restored my 13" MBP i5 at the apple store to the newest version of Lion after issues with a previous Time Machine backup from Snow Leopard- this time I created a new account and just ported files and folders, and now MS Office doesn't work. Help?

I just restored my 13" MBP i5 at the apple store to the newest version of Lion after issues with a previous Time Machine backup from Snow Leopard- this time I created a new account and just ported files and folders, and now MS Office doesn't work.
^^ that's the main problem. Here's the full history.
I bought a new 13" i5 MBP, early 2011 edition. I had an old white Macbook 2.14 ghz core2duo on Snow Leopard. I attempted to port over my time machine backup, but encountered problems in that my User was inaccessible from the new computer after the import finished, and I had to go in and change the root password, etc, and for some reason or another, I couldn't install any programs at all from that administrator's account. By "couldn't" I mean I could install them, but upon installation they would never boot. So, I took it to the apple store and did a clean install from the most up to date Lion OSX. Then, I created a brand new admin account, instead of trying to import the old one, and things seemed great. Then, I just imported my old files from the TM backup, but not any system settings, permissions, or user data. Just my Docs, pics, vids, apps, and itunes stuff.
Here's where things get weird again. I imported this stuff under the name "old", but all of these folders have a red negative sign on them, marking them as restricted. So, from my main admin account, I cannot even peruse these folders. Since I didn't import user data, I can't sign in to the "old" account to change permissions. I already tried to change the permissions from system preferences, but that didn't change anything. And now, for whatever reason, of all the apps that were imported then, MS Office is the only set of apps that does not work. When I click on it, it just says there was a problem and asks if I'd like to send a report to apple. I tried reinstalling it to no avail. I'm an English student, so i really need access to Word. Can anyone help? The Apple store is a major detour for me and would like to fix this issue myself.

Most likely you have Office 2004 which are PPC-only applications and will not work in Lion. Upgrade to Office 2011. Other alternatives are:
Apple's iWork suite (Pages, Numbers, and Keynote.)
Open Office (Office 2007-like suite compatible with OS X.)
NeoOffice (similar to Open Office.)
LibreOffice (a new direction for the Open Office suite.)
