I just upgraded to 10.7.2 and now I can't use Adobe CS, Microsoft word or Xcel for Mac. I can not afford to purchase these again. any Ideas?
This all started when we noticed our phone's and calendars were not syncing. We thought it was because we needed to upgrade from Leopard to Lion and because of ICloud.
You must have PPC-only versions of the software which cannot be used in Lion. If you can't upgrade the software, then you will need to downgrade to Snow Leopard:
Downgrade Lion to Snow Leopard
1. Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer Disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu.
2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the drive in DU's status area. If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing. SMART info will not be reported on external drives. Otherwise, click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
4. Quit DU and return to the installer. Install Snow Leopard.
This will erase the whole drive so be sure to backup your files if you don't have a backup already. If you have performed a TM backup using Lion be aware that you cannot restore from that backup in Snow Leopard (see below.) I suggest you make a separate backup using Carbon Copy Cloner 3.4.1.
If you have Snow Leopard Time Machine backups, do a full system restore per #14 in Time Machine - Frequently Asked Questions. If you have subsequent backups from Lion, you can restore newer items selectively, via the "Star Wars" display, per #15 there, but be careful; some Snow Leopard apps may not work with the Lion files.

I just upgraded to OS X Lion and now I can't open the application Adobe ImageReady CS because PowerPC applications are no longer supported. Is there anything I can do to fix this?
There is no fix. It simply means that the software is outdated. Adobe would need to release a newer non-PPC version that supports Lion. They may have done that already, I don't know.

I just upgraded to 10.7.3 and now I can't install any applications.
I just upgraded to 10.7.3 and now I can't install any applications. Everything else in the OS and in applications seems to work OK. After the installers ask for the system password, they do nothing. I doesn't hang; it just won't proceed any further in the install process. I can press the back button and it seems to do that just fine. I repaired the disk permissions, but to no avail.
After I installed 10.7.3, I tried to install an updater that was listed as being recommended for Time Machine users. That was the first time I tried to launch an installer of any sort and it did the same as above. I've gathered since then that the update wasn't necessary and was already included in the 10.7.3 I loaded today.
Any hints?I'm having a similar problem after installing 10.7.3 and the Messages beta. I've unistalled Mesages with little bit of trouble.. Linc, I followed the step given in your final post any help would be appreciated.
A screenshot of my actual error. I get this error not just for Flash, but also Handbrake. I receieve th error even when I try using a programs automatic update. However, not suprisingly I do not get the message when using Apple's software update.

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 upgraded to OS7.0.6 and now I can't turn off the apps
I just upgraded to OS 7.0.6. Before the apps that were open showed at the bottom of the home screen and I could turn them off. Now nothing shows in that bottom band. How do I know what apps are on and how can I turn them off?
Close all apps in the multi-task window
1.Double-click the Home button.
2. Swipe the app's preview up to close it.
3. Preview will fly off the screen. -
Just upgraded to iTunes 10.4 and now I can no longer...
1. Drag a playlist that was created in iTunes to either of my iPods.
2. Rearrange songs within a play list by just dragging them to where I want them.
Did Apple really kill these features or is there a just a different way of doing it now?Ok, I've been researching this for quite some time today and found a thread in which there was a similar issue and it looks like its related to the use of a Wacom tablet. I plugged in a normal mouse and I can now move songs around freely within my playlists again. Hopefully Apple fixes this annoying little bug soon.

I upgraded to windows 8.1 and now I can not retrieve my documents
I am using a HP pavilion. Was asked with a pop-up to go to microsoft app store to update windows 8 to 8.1. I did that and now can not retrieve my documents. The printer needed reloaded, too. I tryed reinstalling microsoft office, but didn't work.
This question was solved.
View Solution.Hi hainesblum, welcome to the HP Forums. The documents that you cannot retrieve after the upgrade to Windows 8.1, were they in your 'Documents' folder? It is possible that your 'Documents' folder has been moved to 'Documents' under the 'Skydrive' folder.
If that doesn't help, please let me know the model number of your computer.

Please help! I am trying to make a Christian calendar and entered text on to my background layer and can not edit this. I have tried to duplicate the background layer so it is not locked but I still can not edit this text. Does anyone have any suggestions?
The text should be on its own layer. If so, you can delete the layer and start over.
If you have flattened the image layers, open the undo history palette, and go back to the state prior to flattening.
If you saved the original file as .PSD, then the layer structure should remain intact for further refinement in a subsequent session.
