I am having start up issues after installing lion

after installing lion on my mac mini it is having major start up issues, sometimes it will not start up at all. Is anyone having the same issues?

After I used MIgration Assistant on my new Mac Mini, Lion would have kernel panics shortly after startup every time. I am pretty sure it was some virus software or network filterting software that ran background tasks that was causing the problem.
Can you startup in single user mode or safe mode?

Time machine issues after installing lion server

I have a macbook pro and an imac in my home network, both running lion 10.7.3.
For some time, I used time machine to back up the macbook over ethernet to an external usb drive attached to the imac, which worked fine.
A couple of days ago, I installed the server.app on the imac, but disabled all services after a couple of days.
But now, all of a sudden, I can't complete my time machine backups anymore, I get this error message:
"Time Machine could not complete the backup. The network backup disk does not support the required AFP features."
I am not sure what to do here,
thanks for your comments,

I am having a similar issue, but in my situation, my users cannot log in. All of my users are network users on Mini's. I am running 10.6.8 on my server. I have created users before with no issues, but have not done so in months. When I try to log the new user in, I get the following error:
xpchelper: Could not get path of user account (uid:1029) home directory:/Network/Servers/server.xxx.net/Volumes/Data/Users/username; error; The operation couldn't be completed. No such file or directory. Using home directory.
CFPreferences: user home directory at file://localhost/Network/Servers/server.xxx.net/Volumes/Data/Users/username/ is currently unavailable. User domains will be volatile.

I have no idea of what to do. I have verified that the user looks the same as my other users in WGM. The user's folder was created on the server. The user has access to the folder. I'm not sure what else could be wrong here.

Serious log in issues after installing Lion Server

Hi all,
I am relatively inexperienced with software involving essentially anything technical, so you will have to pardon my ignorance.
I am currently trying to set-up a wireless network at home using Lion Server, and it would appear I have bitten off more than I can chew. I installed Lion Server on Tuesday, and have been battling with it ever since - attempting to use a 'We Got Served' guide to walk me through.
I installed the Server app on my iMac as I figured the 3 computers on the network would not require very much space, and so there would be little point in buying a whole new machine to run it from. Whilst I was having little luck in making it work as I had hoped - I have now managed to completely lock the iMac. Since it's installation I have had no issue logging in and out of my actual account on OSX, however earlier the computer froze following an Adobe update and I was forced to do a hard restart. However, when I attempted to log back in I now get the following error:
"You are unable to log in to the user account "xxxx" at this time.
Logging in to the account failed because an error occurred."
I have tried everything in my limited knowledge to rectify this, and nothing works it would seem. I've read examples of this happening when trying to log into the actual server app, or where the hard drive is corrupt on the machine itself - this seems to be a hybrid of the two.
I can no longer open the computer in Safe Mode, however when I go into Disk Utility all disks when verified appear to be absolutely fine with disc repair making no difference. The only available drive is now listed as a Server drive so I cannot even re-install Lion on there.
This is causing me much distress as I can as far as I can tell not only log into my computer, but can do nothing to repair the issue bar erasing everthing from it. There is a lot of important data on there and I am confident that it is not actually corrupt, however Server seems to have just locked it completely.
Help would be much appreciated!

IPhoto Issues After Installing Lion

I installed Lion onto my MacBook Pro and my iMac yesterday. Everything seems okay except my issues with iPhoto. I ended up upgrading my iPhoto because I thought that was the issue. My iMac's iPhoto worked perfectly. My MBP on the other hand, did not. The main iPhoto library works fine, but I have another library (sitting on my desktop that I pulled from my extern HD back-up) that I was using prior to the Lion install that has most of my pics on it. I have tried everything to get the pics to come up, but nothing shows up and I have to force quit the program. I tried even opening up and upgrading the iphoto database on my iMac to see if it was just a MBP issue, but it's not working. I hope I didn't lose my pics! Please help!

I came to the genius bar, and we were able to find a way around this issue. Out of the two iPhoto libraries that I had, I was having issues with only one (the one with the majority of my photos). Assuming you have an iPhoto library that DOES work, follow the following instructions for the fix.
Find the icon of the iPhoto library that you are unable to open. CTRL+click on the icon and select "Show Package Contents."
You will see a folder called "Originals." Copy that to your desktop. Then, open the iPhoto library that does work (hold down OPTION key while you click the iPhoto program logo to allow you to choose which iPhoto library to open).
Once iPhoto is open, drag and drop the "Originals" folder from your desktop to your iPhoto for importing. Once you comfirm that you have all of your photos, feel free to delete the old iPhoto library that you weren't using (double check to make sure to delete the correct one), as well as the "Originals" folder.
Pro: You have all of your photos back all in one place.
Con: You have to reorganize all of your photos and you lose the folders that they were in.
Good luck!

I am having problems with iChat after installing Lion, can anyone help?

I installed Lion this week after I installed everything seemed to be working great. However, if I open iChat and then log in and log out it will not let me log back into iChat

Try logging on to AIM on port 443 rather than port 5190.
Go to IChat in the menu bar > Preferences > Accounts.
Log out of AIM and then use the Server Settings tab
Set the port to 443(press return/enter(you might have to tick and untick SSL for 443 to stick)).
Log back in again.

Performance issues after installing lion?

I recently installed Lion fro teh app store. Now everthing is running slow. from Opening programs to screen savers. anyone else experiancing this issue? Was told by apple employee that installing more memory would rectify this issue.

These are the general requirements for Lion:
General requirements
Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7, or Xeon processor
2GB of memory
OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
7GB of available space
Some features require an Apple ID; terms apply.
Some features require a compatible Internet service provider; fees may apply.

Firewire issue after installing Lion

I use a Western Digital Studio II as my Time Machine back-up drive on my Macbook Pro. I've always had this device connected via the Firewire 400 port and it has worked flawlessly for the 2 years or so that I've had it.
Just upgraded to Lion. Now, the WD drive doesn't mount. No sign of it.
I know the drive's OK because if I connect via USB, all is well (but of course, it's slow).
I've checked WD's support site in case there's a driver update but there's nothing newer than what I already have.
Research via Google reveals a number of alleged issues with firewire drivers for other devices but I can't help wondering is there's an inherent flaw in the way Lion is handling all firewire devices.
Any thoughts? Anyone?

You called Apple Care. So I assume you have a machine that's in warranty. Either that, or you paid for this useless piece of information.
So here's an interesting point...
I have purchased Lion. But I get NO support for it. NO warranty. I will argue that the age of my machine (or the existence of an Apple Care contract) is irrelevant. I have purchased a product and I want support / warranty for that product - nothing else.
If I buy a new refrigerator, I get a warranty for that. It's got nothing to do with any support contract I have on the house that I'm going to install it in.
Why should a piece of software such as Lion be immune from implied fitness for purpose? That's probably a rhetorical question.
So here's what I've done (only applies in the UK).
I have written to Apple and have told them that OS X Lion is not "fit for purpose" in the context of the Sale of Goods Act 1979 and have also told them I exercise my Statutory Rights in English Law and have demanded a full refund.
I strongly recommend that others take the same stance. It may only be for the sake of £21 and a LOT of wasted time but I'm going to stand firm on this and I WILL take legal action if necessary.

Wireless printer issues after installing lion OS

Since installing the Lion Os on 13th September 2011, I have experienced intermittent wireless printing problems.
When you try to print the printer icon comes up with an error, and the message is 'the printer is not connected'. The printer is on and wiFi is lit up. Sometimes by cancelling the print job and then requesting it again clears the problem. When I access the printer in the settings pane it is there and showing idle with a green light, but when you try to print the connection goes.
Sometimes I have to input the administrator password and then it will print. Other times that will not work and I have had to delete the printer and re install it. The problem still exists though.
It exists on all user profiles on the iMac (4)

I have the same problem. I have checked for drivers, and just a couple days ago an updated driver for my printer came through the Mac's Software Update, but it didn't fix the problem. I'm seeing a lot of people with this problem, with different routers and different printers since Lion came out, so I'm fairly certain it's a Lion problem. I hope someone comes up with an answer soon, or I might just break out my PC...

IWeb not showing iPhoto library after installing Lion

Hi, can anyone help with this issue ?
Since I have installed Lion, the iPhoto library that showed up on the right hand side of iWeb is not showing up.
Has anyone else also faced this issue after installing Lion ? Is there a solution ?

Thanks for your reply, but the Media is turned ON, I can see the iTunes content but no pictures from iPhoto.
It keeps on showing, "Loading photos".

Start up Issues with Mountain Lion?

Having start up issues with Mountain Lion. Gray Screen and nothing happens.

If you can't boot in the usual way, try a safe boot. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
Shut down your computer, wait 30 seconds, and then hold down the shift key while pressing the power button.
When you see the gray Apple logo, release the shift key.
If you are prompted to log in, type your password, and then hold down the shift key again as you click Log in.
During startup, you’ll see a progress bar, and then the login screen, which appears even if you normally log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin. Safe mode is slower than normal, and some things won’t work at all. Note: If FileVault is enabled under OS X 10.7 or later, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is on a software RAID, you can’t boot in safe mode. If you're able to boot, launch the Console application in any of the following ways: ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.) ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens. ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid. Select the most recent panic log under System Diagnostic Reports. Post the entire contents — the text, please, not a screenshot. In the interest of privacy, I suggest you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header and body of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.) Please don't post shutdownStall, spin, or hang reports.

My Macbook pro 13" is locking up after installing Lion

Anyone else suffering the same problem?
By locking up I mean is unresponsive, mouse does not move. It became unresponsive while moving the mouse, not making a specific action. The keyboard is not responsive either.
Not sure if its a deadlock/livelock.

I have a 2008 MacBook 13" and I frequently suffer from locking up usually right after logging into my desktop (there is one other user configured). This behavior started almost immediately after installing Lion. I have to hold the power button to shut it down in order to start it up again. Annoying.

Having issues after installing Essbase V9.3.1,configuring the SQL interface

I am having issues after installing Essbase V9.3.1 and configuring the SQL interface. we are using UNIX/AIX box for our Essbase server and UDB DB2 9.1 SP6 as our SQL Interface.
When tried to run an ESSCMD script to perform BUILDDIM operation on Essbase application using the load rule (with the SQL interface), got the error as recorded in the application log file and is attached at the bottom and the .odbc.ini file on the server looks as follows.
Can somebody tell me whether .odbc.ini needs any correction or what else should I do to correct the issue and able to work thru using SQL interface? Appreciate any help provided in this regard. Thanks,

I had similar errors when first setting up the SQL interface. Are you on a 64 bit operating system on the essbase server? If so Essbase needs to use the 32 bit odbc driver, not the default 64 bit driver.
The 32 bit driver is still available here SysWOW64\odbcad32.exe <-----This is the 32 bit (Use)
The Administrative tools by default uses system32\odbcad32.exe <----This is the 64 bit (Don't Use)
Once I opened the 32 bit driver interface directly and set it up the errors went away.

I have been having issues with my computer lagging after installing lion.

I have been having issues with my computer lagging after installing lion. Can anyone please help me get the issue resolved? I need it in easy to follow language.

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, or by a peripheral device.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including Wi-Fi on certain iMacs. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin. Test while in safe mode. Same problem? After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.
