The interactive responsiveness of my Mac Mail has gone to **** since I installed Lion last week. I can type a whole line ahead before it echos the characters. What's with that?

Is spotlight finished re-indexing?
If it is not a drive problem, maybe it is a runaway application. This article shows how to use Activity Monitor to check for that:
Runaway applications can shorten battery runtime

Try this it worked for me Pat Willener gave it to me off the site :
I have not read all you wrote, so I may have missed some points. As I understand it, you installed FP 10 on IE7, but it won't play any Flash content?
Try this
download the FP uninstaller from http://www.adobe.com/go/tn_14157
close all browser windows, then run the uninstaller
download the offline ActivX installer for Internet Explorer from http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player_ax.exe
close all browser windows, then run the installer

I am trying to install flash player on my new Macpro hardrive. It is downloaded but I get the continual message that my I.D. and password are wrong. Help please!

I am trying to install my downloaded flash player on my new MacPro hard drive. I get the continual message that my I.D. and password are wrong. I know they are not wrong and have tried a lot of combinations from old Macs and old passwords too. Nothing works. How can I get the job done?

Hi,
On Mac, this password prompt is presented by your operating system, and is intended to keep you from accidentally installing software which can harm your system. Flash Player does not throw this prompt, Apple does that.
Please provide machine credentials of currently logged in User to continue with the installation.
Hope this helps.
Thanks

By photo CD do you mean you're trying to burn image files to a CD disk from iPhoto? How are you going about this?

I've tried several times to send a document via email and each time the document arrives blank. The document is saved in Adobe and has all the content until I send it. What am I doing wrong?

I Am trying to send an employment application that I have saved to Adobe. Each time I email it to the recipient it arrives blank. What am I doing wrong?

Hi Lee61,
What email client are you using to send the PDF file? If you have a free Acrobat.com account, you can upload your file to your account, and then send a link to it to your recipients.
Best,
Sara

HT4157 I'm trying to add this iPad to an existing AT&T account. I try to type in pass code, then go to the SSN & it deletes the pass code I just typed. What am I doing wrong

I need help adding this iPad to a already existing AT&T account.
I go to type in my pass code for AT&T then my SSN & it then deletes my pass code ... Won't let me add it

I have the same issue.
For those that that have responded to your question and don't know, you can now add your iPad to your existing AT&T data plan if you have the shared family data plan. It's cheaper since it's only $10/month to add the device to share your data plan vice paying somthing like $30/month for 3GB (or whatever level you need).
I was told by an AT&T employee that there are several ways to accomplish this.
1. Call AT&T
2. Do it online at ATT.com (I tried this but their website is down for maintenance)
3. Do it on the iPad (which is what you and I are trying to do).
I have no idea why after entering the passcode and then trying to enter the last 4 of your SSN that the passcode disappears. Or conversely, if you enter the last 4 of your SSN, then go to the passcode field, that the SSN disappears. So when you try to continue you get the please enter valid data message. Seems like a bug in the system.

Im trying to hook up atv but the instructions say to select input and I cant get that far. I have plugged in the hdmi cable and the power cable and nothing happens. What am I doing wrong?

I am working with a hotspot only and maybe thats the problem?

Is this a cable modem? It has to be off for at least 20min and sometimes much longer before it will give up the old settings. You might even need to power down the cable modem overnight.
Tell us exactly what broadband you have with what ISP and exact model of modem..
The new TC cannot be setup without using the latest airport utility 6.3.1 or 6.3.2 and you need Lion - Mavericks to use it.
The computer also needs to have ipv6 setup to local link on whatever you are connecting with, wireless or ethernet.

When uploading photos from my PC to IPad, it gets to the very last stage and then just stops synching. I've tried multiple times and even from scratch, but same unsuccessful result. Very frustrating and not sure what I'm doing wrong.

When synching my photo library (selected folders) to my IPad, it reaches the last (6th) step and then I see the folders appear on my IPad for a brief moment, but then the synch stops and the photos failed to upload. What's the deal? After 6 attempts, I give up. THis should not be that difficult and I've spent way too much time trying to figure this out. Makes me want to throw out my 1st generation IPad and go with another tablet manufacturer. Anyone who has experiened this or knows how to remedy would appreciate hearing from you.

Never have this problem. That's just weird. Maybe there's something wrong with one of the photos?
Try viewing those photos with quicktime first?

I'm trying to export an action I made in Photoshop CC (not CC 2014). The "save" command is greyed out and there's no export command. The action I made in CC isn't under the Adobe presets folder for CC. What am I doing wrong?

I'd like to use the action I created in CC in CC 2014. I'm using Windows 7 Pro, 64 bit. Thanks.

Thanks! That worked.

I purchased Lion and installed it my first Mac. I then went back to the apple store using my laptop to install Lion. Under purchases it tells me I have no purchases. What am I doing wrong?

Another option is to DL with the first Mac and save a copy of the installer app. Then, just copy it to the other machines and stop wasting resources DLing for each machine.

I get an "install failed" message. "Recovery system can't be created-click restart to return to previous version of OS X." This doesn't work. My Mac continues to try to install Mountain Lion. What is the elegant way to get my system back?

The first time I attempted to install ML was on a late 2011 MBP. It ran for three minutes then gave me the error message: Could not install OSX due to an unexpected error. I was using the original ML install app, not a USB or other drive.
After a couple of restarts wiht the same result I saw a message to the effect that the install was trying to close open apps. I closed apps manually a few times to no avail. I shut down instead of restarting then booted into Safe mode (hold down the shift key when starting) and that did it. The install went smoothly after that.
I since installed ML in two iMacs using a cloned copy of the install app on a USB drive. This time I shut down the computers and booted into Safe Mode first and there were no problems.
I don't know if this issue is the one causing you these problems but it is a simple enough solution to try.

After installing Lion, iMovie09 no longer sees my Canon AVCHD. It finds photos. Anybody found a way to fix this?

Is that with the camera directly connected or with the card in a card reader?
I haven't tried in a while, but I know it worked in Lion at some point. I did all my uploading with a card reader, so that may be the difference.
