I just installed Lion and now I can't access my Quicken data.

I just installed Lion without knowing I would lose access to my Quicken data. To make things worse, I'm a computer moron and didn't make an external back-up. I have an old non-intel mac, is there any way to transfer my Quicken data to it?

The only version of Quicken that will work with Lion is Quicken Essentials. Quicken 2007 for Mac (and prior versions) will not. I recommend checking the Intuit website for information regarding using Quicken Essentials with Lion before upgrading to Lion. More information is available here: http://quicken.intuit.com/support/articles/getting-started/upgrading-and-convers ion/8207.htmlhttp://quicken.intuit.com/support/articles/getting-started/upgrading-and-convers ion/8207.html

Just installed Lion and now my trackpad will not zoom

Just installed Lion and now my trackpad will not zoom in and out and the direction of going up and down have reversed.

I have had Lion since it was first released July 20th, and I have noticed that I can not zoom in on everything that is on the internet, some things seem to not be able to be zoomed in on. Are you saying that no matter what website you go to (this one for eample) the zoom function does not work?

I just installed Lion and now my adobe flash doesn't work at a website where i like to use it to cam

I just installed Lion and now my adobe flash player doesn't work to allow me to cam at a website that uses adobe flash to support camming there. It worked fine yesterday when I had Snow Leopard installed but right after I installed Lion it stopped working.

Just installed Leopard and now I can't send an e-mail

I just finished installing Leopard and now I can't send or forward an e-mail. It wont even let me click on send. I'm not getting any error messages either. Anyone know why I can't send an e-mail?

Since upgrading to Leopard, we have had trouble sending email. Usually couldn't but sometimes it would allow an outgoing message. Hours spent with tier 2 tech support, at Apple, AT&T and Netopia. All Mail settings were verified as correct. I saw a possible solution somewhere else in this discussion forum and tried it. Now Mail is working fine, with consistent email sending. Solution for us was to get the DNS numbers from AT&T and enter them on the Mac under System Preferences/Network/Advanced/DNS. The only DNS number listed there was the one for our Netopia 3347 modem. I clicked the + and added both the Primary and Secondary DNS numbers provided by AT&T. Clicked "OK", "Apply". Then I rebooted--don't know if that was necessary--but now email sends easily and so far no more "server does not support authentication" error messages. It was an easy solution, so it's worth a try.

Just installed Lion and now my Word, Excel and Powerpoint no longer work. What can I do to open all old documents?

I just installed Lion to my Powerbook that I purchased in October 2010. My Microsoft Word documents no longer open and my Mac version of Word, Excel and Powerpoint no longer work. What can I do to open all old documents?

Upgrade to Office 2011.
You must be running Office 2004, which was designed to run on PowerPC Macs.
PowerPC apps would run via "Rosetta" on Snow Leopard, but with Lion, Apple has finally pulled the plug on PowerPC apps.

I've just installed Mavericks and now I can't log in to my Mac because it's refusing to recognise my password

My computer is not recognising my password and I can't log in since just installing Mavericks...how can I get into my computer?

Startup your Mac in Safe Mode
A Safe Mode boot takes much longer than a normal boot so be patient.
Then follow the instructions here > OS X: Apple ID can be used to reset your user account password
When you are done, click Restart from the Apple () menu.

I down loaded Lion and now I can not access Quicken

I down loaded Lion and now I cannto acces Quicken or any of my financial information. What do I do? Is there any way for me to be able to access Quicken again?

cglasgow123, although you should have checked compatibility of your apps with Lion before upgrading, since any major system update can cause these sorts of problems, that does not help you solve your problem. Just keep it in mind for the future, so you don't make the same mistake.
There are a number of Quicken replacements out there. See Finding a Replacement for Quicken for some excellent guidance. I strongly suggest you begin migrating to one of these programs soon, as Intuit has a very poor record with how it treats its Mac-using customers. They have promised an update to the years-outdated Mac version of Quicken "sometime in the spring." I wouldn't hold my breath, though.
You could try using Quicken Essentials in the short term, which is a dumbed-down version of Quicken for Mac users that will run on Lion.
If nothing else works for you, and you absolutely have to run your old copy of Quicken, you have three choices. One, you could install Snow Leopard and Quicken on an external hard drive and boot from that whenever you need to use Quicken. Two, you could install Snow Leopard Server in a virtual machine and run it, and Quicken, within Lion. (Post over on the Snow Leopard Server forum for assistance with that, I don't know the details.) Three, you could revert to Snow Leopard entirely, though that will be a painful process requiring you to erase your hard drive and reinstall Snow Leopard and everything else from scratch.

We have just installed Lion and now cannot connect to MyExpat

we have just installed OS X Lion, v10.7.2 and now cannot connect to MyExpatNetwork on my Macbook pro. Any suggestions?

yeah-find out where you're downloading stuff to, and stick with it. I'm using FireFox and tell it to save the driver and stuff on the desktop, and when I quit FireFox, there it is on the desktop. you'll also need your admin password. It should show up as a .dmg file, then double-click on it to open it. You should see "Brother.pkg" . start up brother.pkg (double click??) and folow the instructions that ought to appear to install the printer driver. If the .dmg file doesn't mount, use Disk Utility** to mount it and get it working. Then you should see the package. and then you can install it.
** you may have to click on the .dmg file and choose "Get Info" then Open with, then choose disk utility, and then open with then change all. then close it. Hopefully that ought to work. If you cannot remember your admin password, I can't help you right now. Looks like you'd need it, to let Brother install that printer driver.
well, enough for tonight
if this didn't help you, then ask me again tomorrow

HT5225 I just upgraded to OS X Lion, and now I can't open my Quicken!!!

I just upgraded to OS X Lion 10.7.3 and now it's telling me I can't open the application Quicken anymore, because PowerPC aplications are no longer supported! I sincerely hope someone knows how to resolve this. I'm in big trouble! I get the same message when I try to open Excel, Word, and a game called Mah Jong. Thank you!

The Quicken issue has been a hot topic in the Quicken forum as well as many others. Intuit did not provided an updated Quicken when Lion came out. I believe that within the past month Intuit has announced a version that does work in Lion, I looked into it, but was not impressed; there were some technical issues that prevent me from using it (don't recall the details though). Fortunately, I found out about the Quicken mess when Lion came out, and like many users, migrated the quicken data files over to a common format that could be imported into a number of new financial apps like iBank. Intuit lost a lot of Mac users over this.
As for Excel and Word, you have to buy Microsoft's newest version of Office on Mac to be compatible.

I just installed lion and now i found i have two itunes, ichat, how do i get rid of the extra app

lion won't let me drag to trash saying it is required by osx
thanks in advance for your help

Try a soft-reset and see if the duplicates still show after the iPad has restarted (a couple of times I've had it happen to me when moving an app whilst it is downloading, and the soft-reset has fixed it) : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

Hello, I've just installed Lion and now I have to restart it frequently. Always my MAC is in panic!, Hello, I've just installed Lion and now I have to restart it frequently. Always my MAC is in panic!

Hello,
Why my MAC is frequenly in panic after I 've installed OS Lion?

There are many possible reasons for this, but we cannot diagnose the issue until you provide a copy of the panic log.

I just loaded Lion and now my quicken program can't be used. What do I do to access my financial info?

I just installed Lion and now my Quicken program can't be used, says it isn't supported. What do I do to access my financial info? Also all my old files created under AppleWorks 6 that weren't converted are no longer accessible. Any help with these is appreciated. I am away from my Time Capsule and can't retrieve anything for 2 weeks. Will I be able to go back and access this info with Lion?

I recently made the same mistake. The thing to do is download the new Quicken Essentials for MAC. After you install the new version follow the instructions on how to transfer your old files. There is a way, it just takes a little time and, if I remember correctly, it takes the info from your quicken backup files. Hopefully you had auto back up on and your files are intact. I didn't and reconstruction was a bear but entirely possible. The new Quicken is quite different but seems to work quite well. Good luck.

HELP!! i have a ton of videos of my boys stored in iPhoto..They played fine on my old OSX system (leopard). However, I just upgraded to snow leopard and then to mountain lion and now i can't open my videos at all anymore. HELP!!

Can you tell us about one or more of the video files - what are they? QuickTime? MP4? Something else? How did you create the video files in the first place?
I do a lot of video and when I upgraded to Snow Leopard I discovered that many of the QT videos that I had created previously (via iMovie & Final Cut) would not play correctly in QuickTime X - the bizarre behavior was that QT X acted as if my video files were only audio files! I reported this to Apple at the time but never heard anything back, and there hasn't been any change in later updates to QT X.
The solution was to (re)install QuickTime 7. But first look in your Applications > Utilities folder. When you upgrade from Leopard to Snow Leopard, the installer normally moves the old QT 7 program to your Utilities folder. If it's there, try using QT 7 to play one of your video files. If QT 7 is not there, you can download and install it from here Make sure you are running at least OS X 10.6.3 before you install QT 7. It's even better if you make sure you are running 10.6.8 which was the last release of Snow Leopard.

I just installed Lion and now I can't access my Quicken data.
