I have an I mac and have just downloaded Lion,

Having downloaded Lion I find that I can no longer use time machine to go back and restore photographs,with snow leopard the I photo Gallery stayed on the desktop and selecting photos and restoring was easy.
Lion does not retain any functionality with time machine back up, having spoken at length to genius bar and apple help lines it would seem apple know this to be a major problem but do not know how or when it may be fixed. They also say that restoring snow leopard may not work as my libraries will have been changed by Lion.
As my business is photography and I need to access old images this is a bit of a problem.
Any ideas.

...I want to know what works best, if i upgrade to Office 2011 or use Neo Office will I be able to send working docs to others who want to edit and then send them back?
Right now i saved a pages doc as a word doc and sent it and they edited and sent it back but i cannot work on it because i cant open it with anything but reader....
The problem with receiving Word or Excel documents is that many times OpenOffice/LibreOffice/NeoOffice will mess up the formatting or tables and such. So "simple" documents will open fine, but anything more than basic text is a toss-up. My work, I'll have to use Word or Excel to open a document about 25% of the time due to formatting issues. If I were just viewing the document, I could probably deal with the formatting issues, but to collaborate and send back an edited document, that 25% pretty much forces me to use MSOffice. YMMV.
The simplest thing you can do is just download OpenOffice/LibreOffice/NeoOffice and try it. It won't cost you anything except a little bit of time. If you get too many "failures", then go ahead and purchase Office for Mac.

I have a Macpro Book and I just downloaded new software to my ipod touch(3rd gen). Now itunes does not recognize it nor will it turn on. I believe it just downloaded but did not update the software. What do I do?

You appear to have a second generation iPod touch, not a third, and those can't be updated past 4.2.1. Apple sold 8GB second generation models at the same time as the third generation ones.

My wife and I both have the IPhone 3Gs and we just downloaded the Ios5 software and now she can't text, anyone have any ideas? It seems like you can only IM to another IPhone user whereas befor the download, we could text anyone.text

My wife and I just downloaded IOS5 onto our IPhones, 3Gs. Prior to, we were able to text anyone, now, she can't text at all except from her IPhone to my IPhone. I'm also unable to IM from my IPad2. Any suggestions?

There are a lot of posts in the forums today with people having problems with iMessage. There was also a published outage yesterday, so it's possible there are still some issues that may be impacting you both.
I would just wait it out - I'm sure it will be sorted out soon.

I have a I-MAC and have used firefox, but lately it will not open from the dock, any suggestions?

As stated above, have used Firefox from the dock for quite a long time, but recently it did not do anything when I clicked on it, just sat there. Have been able to get to it using spotlight, but even then have to go thru extra steps and go thru a step that says something like "this application was downloaded from the internet. Do you want to open it? YES/ NO " Any ideas ? Should I dump it and reinstall, and if so , how would I uninstall?

I have Adobe Photoshop CS4 and have just upgraded my Mac operating system to Yosemite with the newest version of Java 2014 running. When I try to access Photoshop from Bridge or directly open it asks for a Legacy Version of Java 6. As I am a pensioner I cannot afford an upgrade does anyone know of a work-around for this problem?

Hi Daddyfred,
CS4 Photoshop has not been tested on Yosemite. But still you can try the Java 6 update using the below link.

I've just changed from a PC to a mac and have a large number of downloaded WMA music files (not i-tunes purchases) which I just can't get into my i-tunes library. File converters don't seem to work either. Any ideas?

I've just changed from a PC to a mac and have a large number of downloaded WMA music files which I can't get into i-tunes. When the library was in Windows, i-tunes would convert the files automatically, but this doesn't happen now. I've downloaded a couple of file converters, but these don't seem to work either. Any ideas?

iTunes for Windows (but not iTunes for Mac) can import and convert unprotected WMA tracks. If the tracks are protected by DRM (Digital Rights Management) then it will not accept them.
One option would be to install iTunes on your PC, do the conversion, and then transfer the converted tracks from iTunes on your PC to iTunes on your Mac.

For the D600 NEF's you have two alternatives: (1) Upgrade to PSE 11. (2) Download and install the free Adobe DNG converter to convert your raw files to the Adobe universal Raw format and the files will open in all versions of PSE (keep your originals as backups and for use in the camera manufactures software) Windows download click here DNG Converter 7.3 Mac download click here DNG Converter 7.3 You can convert a whole folder of raw images in one click. See this quick video tutorial: You Tube click here for DNG Converter tutorial

I have just bought my first mac and have been told that i can get a free upgrade to lion but it seems that this is only an option in the us and canada, not the uk. is this true?

i have just bought my first mac and have been told in pc world that i can get a free upgrade to lion, but it would appear that this is only for those in the u.s. and canada. is this true? also from reading the discussions it seems that lion is not a good thing. i am already regretting my decision to go to a mac.

I have found that both Linux and Mac (unix) are capable of reading "deep" folders while win 32 will have issues, your it people are clearly wrong. I run a network with both win/mac. And as long as the win servers/pc's that have shares are set to allow apple file sharing in their folder properties. And the macs are set to allow smb there should absolutely no trouble with you accessing anything across the platforms, heck, from a Mac to a win pc on some occasions you don't even need to include a "domain" name to log on to, and you can create aliases and make your own shortcuts etc... So you don't have to manually connect each time you boot up etc... But that's all personal preferences I suppose.
All I can tell you is that, I do it on a daily basis managing a small business. So your answer is yes you can.

HT1338 I have OS X 10.6.8 on my mac and have just downloaded 10.7.4 (needed for imovie 11) but it will not update.

I have OS X 10.6.8 on my mac and have just downloaded 10.7.4 (needed for imovie 11) but it will not update. What has happened to the downloaded update?

When you downloaded Lion from the Appstore (and paid 29$) you have 10.7.4.
After the download you will find it in the Applications folder: that is the installer ! The installer vanishes when used, thus if you want to make an installer disk (to avoid a later redownload), you should do it before you run this installer. You can use "Lion Diskmaker" for that (use a 8GB USB stick), http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/39701/lion-diskmaker/

Hi
Error -49 opWrErr File already open with write permission
Trash the preference files while application is NOT Running.
Easiest way to find out if this is the problem is by:
• Create a new User-Account
• Log out of Your old one and into this
• Re-try iMovie
If it now works OK - then 99.9% the problem is iMovie pref. file that needs to be trashed.
from Karsten Schlüter
Some users notice on exporting larger projects from within iMovie that this operation is aborted with an 'error -49'
This issue occurs only on MacOs machines using 10.7x
try switching-off the Local Mobile Backup
in Terminal copy/paste
sudo tmutil disablelocal
Re-launch Mac

I have a Macbook Pro and have just purchased a GSP hidden objects game. It says on the box that it is compatible and when I try and install it it tells me that installation has been successful. However, it then says that PowerPC games not supported. Help?

I have a Macbook Pro and have just purchased a GSP hidden objects game. It says on the box that it is compatible and when I try and install it it tells me that installation has been successful. However, it then says that PowerPC games not supported. Help?
No game icon appears on my desktop and I don't know what I can do.
Really ****** off as i've not played these games since switching from a windows PC to a Mac and was really excited!! All I want is to be able to play my new game that arrived in the post today. If anyone can help I would be really really grateful....
The game says that it needs Mac OS X 10.3 or higher to run so I don't understand what the problem is or how I can fix it!!

beckyj3,
the last version of Mac OS X which supported running PowerPC apps on Intel Macs was Mac OS X 10.6.8 (Snow Leopard). If you’d like to play this PowerPC game on your Intel MacBook Pro, then you’ll need to install Snow Leopard on it and boot into Snow Leopard. (Note that the last MacBook Pro which natively supported Snow Leopard was the Early 2011 model.)
The game was almost certainly published before Mac OS X 10.7 (Lion) was released, so back then, all versions of “Mac OS X 10.3 or higher” would have supported running that PowerPC game.

I have an I mac and have just downloaded Lion,
