I am really crazy for lion frozen. it happened any time

My mbp is 2010 mid 15''. Now, I use lion 10.7.2. The main problem is THE SYSTEM FROZEN. It happened any time. Sometime I use safari, it happened. I use Mail, it happened. I use Finder, it happened. I realy want to crazy. I reinstall the lion, but it not better. oh, I also have the experience for fronzen on the login screen. Every time the system frozen, what I can do is press the turnoff button to shut down the computer. WHO CAN HLEP ME!!!! One more thing, I turn on the function "Restart automatically if the computer freezes", but it also doesn't work.

I didn't add memory, and I also try to reinstall the OS 10.7.2 in a new partition, but it doesn't make sence. The system was frozen again on yesterday night. At that time, I just opened Safari(there are one or two tabs open). When I used Quicktime to open a .MOV video which made by iphone 4, the system was frozen. I could move the mouse pointer, but I cant use it to click any thing. The clock also stop. After I used power button to force turn off the computer and turn on, the system was frozen on the login screen. I used power button turn off it again and turn on again. This time everything seem like ok. However, when I wanted to type the password, I just click the mouse one more time, the system was fronzen. After that, I found that if I force turn off computer due to the system frozen, I have to type the password as soon as possible and shouldn't click the mouse. If not, the system will be frozen on the login screen. One more thing I notified, after restore system from the frozen, the spotlight will be reindexing.

I loaded Mac OS X v10.7 Lion yesterday. Everything's running fine, except for a simple problem. Any time I want to copy a file, JPEG, etc., I am prompted "Finder wants to make changes. Type your password to allow this." I don't want this!! Is there a way

I loaded Mac OS X v10.7 Lion yesterday. Everything’s running fine, except for a simple problem. Any time I want to copy a file, JPEG, etc., I am prompted “Finder wants to make changes. Type your password to allow this.” I don’t want this!! Is there a way to unlock “Finder” or rid this process?

Back up all data.
This procedure will unlock all your user files (not system files) and reset their ownership and access-control lists to the default. If you've set special values for those attributes on any of your files, they will be reverted. In that case, either stop here, or be prepared to recreate the settings if necessary. Do so only after verifying that those settings didn't cause the problem. If none of this is meaningful to you, you don't need to worry about it.
Step 1
If you have more than one user account, and the one in question is not an administrator account, then temporarily promote it to administrator status in the Users & Groups preference pane. You can demote it back to standard status when this step has been completed.
Triple-click the following line to select it. Copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C):
sudo chflags -R nouchg,nouappnd ~ $TMPDIR.. ; sudo chown -R $UID:20 ~ $_ ; chmod -R -N ~ $_ 2> /dev/null
Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Paste into the Terminal window (command-V). You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning not to screw up. If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before you can run the command.
The command will take a noticeable amount of time to run. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign (“$”) to appear, then quit Terminal.
Step 2
Boot into Recovery by holding down the key combination command-R at startup. Release the keys when you see a gray screen with a spinning dial.
When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select
Utilities ▹ Terminal
from the menu bar. A Terminal window will open.
In the Terminal window, type this:
resetpassword
That's one word, all lower case, with no spaces. Then press return. A Reset Password window will open. You’re not going to reset a password.
Select your boot volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name) if not already selected.
Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
Under Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs, click the Reset button.
Select
 ▹ Restart
from the menu bar.

CUE script for dial your extension at any time

I am looking for a script which shows me how to allow people to enter an extension at any time without pressing an option key. How is this done?

From my experience most IVRs just have a prompt such as "if you know your party's extension you may dial it at any time; for sales press 1, for support press 2, etc". Then you collect digits until they quit entering and then you figure out if they entered just one digit (that means its a menu choice) or more (they're dialing an extension). Ordinarily, the menu choices are things like dial-by-name or transferring to some specific extension where it doesn't make sense to additionally collect digits to do a dial-by-extension. I guess the exception might be if it was a (maybe partial) company directory prompt (e.g. 'john at extension 123; jane at extension 124;...') where you might want that. You'd essentially still collect a single digit while playing the prompt (i.e. play the prompt in a get digit string step); then once one has been created you could Goto the section that collects additional digits since then you know that they're dialing by extension.
So it sort of depends on your requirements, but, to be honest, I haven't heard of anyone ask for the ability to dial by extension during each of the sub-menu choices.

I have older 20" iMac that doesn't qualify for Lion. Is there any way I can use iCloud with it?

Can I use iCloud on older 20" iMac?

Your signature shows you are running Mac OS X 10.7.1.
Is this a different computer than the 20" iMac?
And you can easily add the iCloud calendar to iCAl on an iMac not running Lion/iCloud.
You simply need to add a CalDav to your non-Lion iMac.
Easiest way is to open iCloud.com then Calendar and Share that calendar. It will send an email to that user with the address of the iCloud caldav calendar.
See this -> http://computing.physics.harvard.edu/icloud
Same works for Contacts/Address book.

Can somebody help me install IOS 6.1.3 back to my iPhone 4. IOS 7 or 7.0.4 is not smooth enough as perfect as IOS 6.1.3. I am stuck with this OS, every app gives a break for 4-5 seconds to open up.

Hi...I have this problem, everytime I want to print something out the mac asks me for the computer password...that is really becoming annoying after. That happened since I upgraded to mountain lion. How can I stop the computer from asking me that?

If you are printing via a Windows shared printer and it is the Windows user account that you are being prompted for then you can save this in the Keychain, as shown below.

I have OSX 10.6.8 - how do I make room on mac HD for Lion?

I have a Mac Pro 1.1 with OSX 10.6.8 Snow Leoprad. I want to move all my music, photos, and videos to other hard drives so i will have more room in Mac HD for Lion etc. I have not been to do this. Any suggestions?
Thanks.

If you have a MacBook Pro 1,1 then forget it, stay on 10.6.8.
Use Carbon Copy Cloner and clone your OS X 10.6 boot volume to another blank GUID OS X extended formatted drive. (use the Secure Erase > Zero feature on the drive first to eliminate any bad sectors) this is your 10.6 clone so you can boot and use PPC based apps your going to lose going to 10.7/10.8 or to come back to 10.6 if you won't like the Lions.
Hold option key down on a wired keyboard to boot from the clone drive and check it out.
Next zero erase your entire 10.6 original boot drive holding option from the 10.6 installer disk
Reinstall 10.6 from the disks (same account name), reinstall iLife from the second disks and call Apple if you want to upgrade to 10.7 specifically but your MacPro 1,1 can go to 10.8 directly from AppStore.
Now your machine is bare bones, install your 10.8 compatible third party programs/upgrades etc.
http://roaringapps.com/apps:table
On another drive setup duplicate Music2, Pictures2, Movies2 and Document2 folders and copy your files from the clone into them. Thus only on the boot drive is programs and OS X, no files.
You can command drag items like the original Documents, Music, Pictures folders off the Finder window sidebar and use the Music2, Pictures2, Movies2 etc there instead. However some programs will still try to save things automatically in the original user folders.
When you launch say iPhoto in 10.8 against the older 10.6 iPhoto Library, it will update it.
This sounds like a lot more work, but it's really giving you a solid footing, a stable fast system and free of crapola.
I always take a extra mile in being through to eliminate as many potential issues as possible, as it's cheaper and less hassle than cure, my machines always run well and fast, even Windows ones.

Pro Mac Pro Tip for Lion Users

Been frustrated with your Mac Pro since upgrading to Lion? Maybe I can help.
I’ve spent the last few months just hating OS X Lion. I thought Apple should have given it a better nickname, like “System Hang” or “Patience is a Virtue.” I spent more time starring at the dreaded spinning beach ball of death than I did getting work done. Where I once kept open as many browser windows and tabs as I liked, I began closing everything I didn’t absolutely need right then. Aperture 3, which I adore, had become impossible to use.
Things had gotten so frustrating, I was seriously thinking about doing a clean system install — something I used to have to do every 6-12 months with Windows, and was one of the reasons I made the switch.
But there were other things I could do to speed things up, and here they are in no particular order:
• Replace system HDD with a super fast SSD. But that’s expensive, and a hassle. First you have to clone your existing system on it, and all four of my drive bays are full. So I’d have to put the SSD in a FireWire-freindly enclosure, clone it the slow way, then swap it in for the HDD.
• Put in a faster video card. This seemed the least-likely to do any good, and I’m not exactly taxing the card this machine shipped with more than two years ago.
• New CPU. I could install a non-sanctioned EFI update, and swap out my quad-core Xeon for something sexier. But not only is that expensive, it also voids my warranty.
• More memory! This is usually the go-to upgrade. It’s easy. It isn’t very expensive. And even if it doesn’t do a whole lot, you know you want it anyway.
Now, this Xeon processor has three memory channels, but the motherboard has four memory slots. If you fill all four, your memory takes a speed hit — but you can fit in more memory. If you use just three matched memory sticks, the processor can take full advantage of its memory architecture.
When I bought this box, I also picked up four 2GB memory sticks. I figured I could try it both ways: 3 sticks for 6GB of faster access or all 4 for 8GB of restricted access. Under previous versions of OS X — Leopard and Snow Leopard — things ran faster and smoother with the full 8GB.
Well let me tell you: Lion does not like slow memory. Not one bit.
Yesterday I ditched all four 2GB sticks and replaced them with three 4GB sticks. The 50% increase in memory space is a nice bit of room for Lion to run around in, but I’m wagering that leaving that fourth slot unfilled was what really did the trick. Because let me tell you, right now this Lion roars. All the bad things I said about Lion? I take them all back. And if you’re a frustrated Mac Pro/Lion user, heed my advice.
At this very moment, I’m looking at email, 40 or 50 browser tabs in six windows, my calendar and iTunes blown up to full screen, ripping a Blu-Ray and crunching it down to 720p at 30fps, sorting through more than 2,000 RAW images in Aperture, doodling around with three different Pages documents, and two Christmas shopping spreadsheets — all strewn across nine virtual desktops, while in the background iTunes is serving up two video streams to Apple TVs upstairs and Time Machine is cranking away to keep my data safe.
My Mac is a Mac again.

Hi ...
Avoid MacKeeper. Results of an ASC forum search for MacKeeper > Community Search: Apple Support Comments are discouraging for the most part. You don't need third party utlities installed to take care of your Mac. For the most part they do more harm than good.
Not enough free space on the startup disk can slow the system down.
Right or control click the MacintoshHD icon. Click Get Info. In the Get Info window you will see Capacity and Available. Make sure there's a minimum of 15% free disk space.
Disabling the Lion "resume" feature may help.
Open System Preferences > General
Deselect: Restore windows when quitting and re-opening apps
You can use Lion Recovery to repair the startup disk and reinstall the Mac OS X.

I have iMac and need a good photo editing program to use. Reviews say aperture runs really slow with Lion, any suggestions?

I need a program where I can remove objects and touch up dead grass, etc.

Reviews say Aperture runs really slow with Lion, any suggestions?
To add on to Corky02 answer:
The recent Aperture release AP 3.3.x is very efficient, both on Lion and Mountain Lion. But you need a decent hardware to support it. The older Macs will have problems with the storage and CPU requirements. For good performance on large raw images plenty of RAM is important, at least 4GB, but 8GB would be much better, and your library should be on a fast disk, preferably on an internal drive. And don't let the system drive get too full.
Many reports about Aperture being slow are due to putting the Aperture library onto slow disks or acessing the original image files over the network, insufficient RAM, or corrupted or ill-designedAperture databases.
Aperture excels at all kinds of image processing that can be considered image developement - raw processing and color/lighting adjustments, but does not do compositing. If you are shooting raw and want professional image developement I'd recommend to do this in Aperture and not in iPhoto - you will have much more control over this in Aperture (after a steep learning curve). You can also repair and retouch the image to correct minor blamishes. For graphics compositing and inpainting you can set up an external editor and send your images from Aperture to this external editor - any of the editors Corky recommended would be o.k. for this.
To see, if you will want the advanced image processing in Aperture or the easy to use, more basic options in iPhoro will be sufficient to you have a look at the Aperture User manual, or the tutorial on the support page: Aperture Support
But Aperture is a professional apllication, not "plug and play". You should only consider it, if you are willing to spend some time on learning to use it properly and are willing to work your way through the manual.

How do I get the download for Lion OS on my iMac if I don't have the App Store app?

I stopped by the Apple Store and they told me that they can't sell me Lion OS in the store. Since I have an older iMac with out the App store App, they said that I need to contact Apple Support. But do I have to do that via phone or can I somehow email them?

What you need is to get (buy and install) Mac OS Snow Leopard first; that includes the app store. After you install and update it, then you can launch the app store and buy/download/install Lion. Now, how old is your machine? Here are the requirements for Lion:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4949
You will also need a minimum 2 GB RAM, but you really should have a minimum of 4 GB to get good performance.

Where is a rationale or orientation lesson for Lion

Having posted objections to Lion changes on this board, I do NOT want to be misunderstood in this question. My point here is NOT to object or fight the change but try to see if I can embrace the change.
For example, versions. It seems a lot of thought has gone into Versions by the engineers. From comments I read on it, the paradigm they have created is not obvious to all of us.
I can learn by trial and error. This risks a certain amount of error which might even add risk to my data.
If someone clever in user training would put together a training video which illustrates a goodly number of 'how-tos' many of us can learn pretty fast and not only learn the specific lessons given but extrapolate into similar things that obviously seem to follow from the first.
I've considered the demos given in WWDC and similar forums. They are not really good for this. They are design to knock our socks off by the sheer cleverness of what they've done.
I'm not sure that the things I'm asking for may not already exist online. Obviously third party contributions are welcomed. But how many times have I had a question on something on Mac OS X or othr Apple software and asked it here when someone points out there is a nice article posted by Applle on Apple.com that deals with the question.
Does anyone have any hints as how to find such nuggets of treasure on Apple's website or on third party sites? I'm not only asking about things for versioning but other new approaches to user interface and paradigms which Apple is bringing out here.
Thanks.

Hi bk
Kappy is right but you mighy also check under the Finders help menu.
There is quite a lot about versions etc.

How do I install Utility Mpeg2 Component for Lion?

I know people have asked similar questions, but I don't understand the answers that have been given. I want to use MPEG Streamclip and just bought my first Mac (with Lion). I installed MPEG Streamclip 1.93b7 beta, which I understand is required for Lion. When I open the file, I see the icon for "Utility MPEG2 Component Lion." I understand that I am supposed to open this, but I am not able to. I get a message telling me to double click the file "QuickTimeMPEG2.dmg" in order to open the QuickTime MPEG2 disk image. However, I am unable to find the file "QuickTimeMPEG2.dmg." Where do I find this?
I looked in the Quicktime folder and found a number of files, including QuickTimeMPEG.component and QuickTimeMPEG4.component, but no QuickTimeMPEG2.dmg."
Thank you so much for any help! I am new to Macs and am not really familiar with the terminology.

TS2951 Is there a way to make a dvd Boot Start Up Copy for Lion 7.4.1 ? on a MAC PRO 2011

Hello,
Is there a way to make a dvd Boot Start Up Copy for Lion 7.4.1 ? on a MAC PRO 2011 ? I only have the Newest
Lion Thumb Drive 7.0 and will not allow me to ever Reinstall my MAC. Which I like to do from time to time....
Is the Thumb Drive Suppose to reinstall the entire computer or just upgrade ? Apple Store does not know what
level each customer is at so the Thumb Drives must Totally Start from Scratch.
It worked Once in Nov a Month after I Bought the MAC PRO in 2011 by customer care telling me to Hold down the Option Key When I Turn on the MAC ? I hope That is Correct.
SO WHAT I AM REALLY WANTING TO KNOW ABOUT MACS IS CAN YOU MAKE A BOOT DVD and NOT with Time Machine or an External Hard Drive.
- THANK YOU, JEFF June 22,2012 3:10pm Pacific Time

How do I create 2 Recovery partitions: one for Lion and one for Mountain Lion?

Well that is basically the question:
How do I create 2 recovery partitions: one for Lion and one for Mountain Lion?
Reason is that I would like to keep the option to return to Lion, or even better, have a seperate partition for eacht?

can I access my programs from the other partition, so I can save space ...
No, as far as I know, each one is completely separate - especially if you're dealing with two different versions of OS's.
is it possible to safely make an extra partion on a running drive (it is my main computer ...) The disk is large enough ...
how large would this have to be
I've personally never done it on a running drive - have read it's possible, but don't want to suggest it since I've never done it and wouldn't be sure about the steps. This is how I got to two partitions on my iMac:
Originally, I had just one partition with Snow Leopard. I used CCC to clone that to an external drive. Booted into that drive and used DU to partition and erase the internal. I then cloned the new clone back. Also cloned the same thing to the other partition which I then upgraded to Lion. So I had two OS's - SL and Lion. I've now decided to clone my SL to an external drive for occasional use and installed ML on that partition - so now I have Lion and ML.
There are two ways to get a "fresh" install: either download the OS again and install it on a partition of your choice or, as I've done as well, copy the installer to a safe place so you don't need to download it again. It does include whatever apps/software is included in the OS. I've designated two smaller partitions on externals as my "fresh" installs of both Lion and ML for emergency or reinstall purposes (this is my way of dealing with not having install DVDs) - I took the time to install it there and then slowly add fresh installs of my important apps (either via download or install CD) - don't bother with the little/less used stuff, a current copy of that can be downloaded if and when I need it. I don't really update those two - that can also be done if/when I need it since that'll always change.
So, yesterday, I decided I wanted to start fresh with ML - booted into my fresh install of Lion (on external), wiped the SL partition on my internal and installed Lion. Decided to download a fresh copy of the ML installer and installed that. Then ran Software Update. After that, repaired permissions. Then I methodically opened every third party app and checked for updates - installed those where necessary. After all that, I simply copied (drag 'n drop) my entire Documents folder (which contains all my important data,, photos, etc) over from another backup.
This took a while, but mostly because of the long download times; the installs weren't all that bad. I should be running a really clean system now, especially since nothing was ported over except my Documents folder.

I am really crazy for lion frozen. it happened any time
