I have installed LION

Hello everyone, first timer here,
I've installed Lion & think it's possibly the worst thing I've ever done, apart from the dire drab grey sign in page, I can no longer access adobe creative suite ( which I no longer have disc for ), how can I go back to Leopard which is a far nicer system to use, I'd be thankful for all answers ( plain english please I love my Mac but not enough to speak it's language!! ).

You can go back to Leopard, by using your backup. If you didn't backup, clone backup now, once you export any data from Apple applications into cross-operating system usable formats. If you need help, ask which application may have changed since Leopard that you use. Cloning is described here*:
http://www.macmaps.com/backup.html
Once you have cloned, then you can reinstall Leopard from your original Leopard discs. Reinstalling Adobe may not work, unless you call Adobe support for replacement discs. Don't lose your discs in the future. A backup is always essential before doing any upgrade. And read through my FAQ* before upgrading again:

Since I have installed Lion onto my iMac it's impossible to to copy any video file from the mac to an external support (ups-stick, Timecapsule). What's happened? What can I do?

If you just did upgrade Lion, give it some time. I recall having similar problems and some articles mention heavy background work after install - such as re-indexing for Spotlight etc. I couldn't even copy from folder to folder or e.g. iphoto to folder on the same disk. Went away after a day or two though.
I do however still have a problem with AFP access to one of the lion machines - kills it's network adaptors rather quickly. No luck solving this so far :|

I have installed Lion and have problems to print PDF from prewiev.

I have installed Lion and have problems to print PDF from prewiev. When trying to print Prewiev locks. Anyone out there with the same problem?

Hello David and Nicole
I just installed Lion on my iMac, which was purchased in 2007, and I cannot print from Preview; it keeps locking up and not responding. So, I have to force quit Preview. I have been sending error reports to Apple. I suggest everyone who has this problem, send error reports!
I can print from other applications, like Pages, with my Canon Laserjet. I do not think it is a printer issue becasue I can print in other application.
I took your advice and installed Adobe reader. Now I can print pdf's.
Thanks
Ed

How do I remove Norton Antivirus *after* I have installed Lion?

How do I remove Norton Antivirus *after* I have installed Lion?
The Norton uninstaller is a PPC native app and Lion won't run it.
Thanks.

You should run the removal applicaiton that came with your installation. Read this from the Norton web site..https://www-secure.symantec.com/norton-support/jsp/help-solutions.jsp?product=No rton+for+Mac+Products&version=current&lg=english&ct=united+states&pvid=f-mac&doc id=v64924250_EndUserProfile_en_us/
Norton AV 12 for Lion is available online.
If you want an AV program compatible with Lion then look at Intego Virus Barrier 6.

You don't. Apple no longer ships Front Row... it's part of the OS... so it goes away when you upgraded.

Is my iMac now useless as i have installed lion and i am no longer able to run cs2 photoshop and illustrator as this is all i use my mac for they should make this clear before buying it i can't afford the latest version of cs2

is my iMac now useless as i have installed lion and i am no longer able to run cs2 photoshop and illustrator as this is all i use my mac for they should make this clear before buying it i can't afford the latest version of cs2 and cant believe what a waste of money it is.

The newest version of CS2 is CS5. And it was made very clear that these applications would not run in Lion. Not only by Apple, but on all sorts of communities and websites. It has been a long time coming - PowerPC apps were outdated six years ago. Lion does not support Rosetta, and therefore not PPC apps.
you have to options. Go back to Snow Leopard or upgrade your software. (MS Office 2004 and older will not run either).
Cheers

I have installed Lion and Microsoft Office 2011. I want to uninstall Office 2004, but of course I cannot run the application to uninstall, because I get the "PowerPC applications are no longer supported" message. Suggestions?

Go to this microsoft site http://support.microsoft.com/kb/312172 and/or this microsoft site http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2398768. I would suggest removing both to start with a clean slate. I had some problems with installing Office for Mac 2011 over 2008 and found out that by completely removing both and starting from a clean slate provided the best solution. Kappy is correct but some sniglets do get left behind. Hope this helps. Cheers.

Since I have installed Lion my computer doesn't shut down properly and I have constant problems with LR and Photoshop. Any suggestions?

Since I have installed Lion my computer does not shut down properly. I sometimes cannot eject a flash drive or eject a disc and my LR and photoshop constantly crash. I ran all the updates. Any suggestions? I purchased the upgrade online so I dont have a disc to reinstall it.

If you have more than one user account, these instructions must be carried out as an administrator.
If you have an optical drive, make sure there is no disc in it.
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.
☞ If you’re running Mac OS X 10.7 or later, open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the page that opens.
Step 1
Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left.
Enter "BOOT_TIME" (without the quotes) in the search box. Note the timestamps of those log messages, which refer to the times when the system was booted. Now clear the search box and scroll back in the log to the last boot time when you had the problem. Post the messages logged during the time something abnormal was happening. That time might be before or after the boot.
For example, if the problem is a slow startup taking three minutes, post the messages timestamped within three minutes after the boot time, not before. If the problem is a system crash or shutdown failure, post the messages from before the boot time, when the system was about to crash or was failing to shut down. In either case, please include the BOOT_TIME message at the beginning or the end of the log extract.
Post the log text, please, not a screenshot. If there are runs of repeated messages, post only one example of each. Don’t post many repetitions of the same message.
Important: Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Edit it out by search-and-replace in a text editor before posting.
Step 2
Still in Console, look under System Diagnostic Reports for crash or panic logs, and post the most recent one, if any. In the interest of privacy, I suggest you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if present (it may not be.) Please don’t post shutdownStall or hang logs — they're very long and not helpful.

Does anyone have problems with hotspot connections or WLAN since they have installed Lion?

Does anyone have problems with hotspot connections or WLAN since they have installed Lion?

Same problem for me: Since update to Lion my WLAN connection to my router (AVM fritz!box fon 7141) get's lost almost every time the computer is on idle for a couple of minutes. Deactivating and reactivating helps, but of course only until the problem occurs again.
BTW: I'm running Mac OS X Lion (10.7.3) on a iMac 27" 3.2 GHz i3 (mid 2010 model).
I'm really annoyed by this problem and looking forward for APPLES fix.

I have installed Lion on an iMac Core duo by mistake - how do I rectify..?

I have installed Lion on an iMac Core Duo, via firewire from an iMac i7.
The Core Duo now goes to grey screen, folder with "?", then the "prohibited" sign for a 30 secs and then turns off,
(I now realise Lion is 64bit and the core duo only supports 32bit...).
The core duo will chime but will not boot off the original install disk or mount as a fire wire target disk.
How do I wipe Lion and reinstall Leopard...?

Sounds like hardware error.
Maybe the target-mode did something bad to the EFI, like fed it 210 proof "Everclear" ...
Try a diferent USB keyboard ...
Last resort for me before Genius Bar is either SMC Reset (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964) and/or PRAM reset (http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.7/en/mh26871.html).
I am out of ideas if the resets cannot bring back "C" boot.

My Epson 7900 gives me an error message now that I have installed Lion.

As soon as I install lion my epson printer 7900 refused to work. All i get is an error message now. I know this is a new o/s but you would have thought it would have worked with a popular printer like this. Anyone got any ideas. I ve already checked on the epson site for a new driver but they dont semmed to have one. I am quite desperate to get my work out as I am a photographer and have clients waiting for their pictures. Any help would be appreciated.

Which Epson printer? The Epson LP-7900 is support with a driver avaiable from Apples SU server:
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht3669
The SP7900 is a speciality printer. You will need to download the latest driver from Epson. Their latest 10.6 driver should work.

I have installed lion and now have lost i photo and i movie any suggestions?

I have installed Lion and the Java update but my CS5 PS will not open jpegs to edit.

I have loaded Lion, and updated my Java but for some reason my Photoshop doesn't want to load pictures. I can see them in the layers, but the actual image is just not coming up. Maybe this is nothing to do with Lion, but if anyone has any ideas it would be great! Really don't want to have to reload everything from SL if possible. My other Adobe programs work fine.
PLEASE HELP!!!

After Java is installed, you may need to enable it.
In your Applications > Utilities folder, you should find the Java Preferences.app.
Double click on that, and in the ‘General’ tab, make sure that the enable checkbox at the top is checked.

Since the time i have installed lion my mac book pro is working very slow

its been couple of months since i installed lion, after that my pro is working very slow .
would want to knw what to check ??

I don't really understand why Lion slows down computers, but it obviously does. What worked for me is upgrading my memory from 2GB to 4GB. Also, check your hard drive space. If it is close to full, try upgrading your hard disk to a better model.
If neither of those work, you might have to do a clean reinstall of Lion. This involves cleaning out all your data and reinstalling your OS.
Cache-file cleaners like SpeedUp Mac ($29.99) can help a lot if Lion was pre-installed on your Mac, but if you installed Lion manually, they don't really do much.
Tip: NEVER try MacKeeper to make your Mac "faster": I had the misfortune of it wiping out all my data (movies, music, photos, iMovie projects, iPhoto photo books and faces, etc.)

Is anyone having trouble with kernel panics now that they have installed Lion?

Ever since I installed Lion;I am getting kernel panics, applications crashing, and the internet freezing. None of these problems existed before I installed Lion.

You probably have some bad third-party software that is conflicting with Lion. Can you post one of the kernel panic logs?

I have installed LION
