I'm a teacher with Lion Upgrade issues.

I'm a teacher and I use a program that was a power pc. When I upgraded to Lion, I can't use it anymore. It has my lesson plans on it. I really don't want to rewrite them. Any suggestions.

Has anyone successfully used the Intuit Quicken compatible with Lion upgrade for investment tracking?

Has anyone successfully used the Intuit Quicken compatible with Lion upgrade for investment tracking?

Although I gave up investment tracking for personal reasons (I had used Quicken Deluxe 2002 for many years for that reason), my understanding is that the new Quicken 2007 for Lion/Mt. Lion is completely the same feature wise as Quicken 2007 for PPC. It will run on Snow Leopard, too.
For $15, why not download it and just try it and LET US KNOW!

IMac 27" with Lion upgrade ... daily hangs! Need help and support

Dear Apple,
Mid-July we got an iMac27" with Snow Leopard installed. First week of August I upgraded to Lion via web download (from Apple Store).
Since then the iMac has frequently hung. It goes in two stages: 1) the cursor gets round with rolling colors for some time (the "force quit" or "shutdown" menu selections cannot be accessed because the mouse gets inactive for clicks), then 2) the cursor gets in the middle of the screen and resembles the gray round that rotates when the iMac starts up (but without the gray apple above it this time) ... it stays in that mode indefintely. I then have to shut it down via the back lower left button and start again. Now it goes into that "routine" almost daily.
All softwares are up-to-date. I have also performed three of four times now the "Alt at start" manoeuvre, check disk and permissions with repair.
Is it because of the Lion upgrade (instead of a fresh install)? (If so, how do I perform a fresh install and keep all settings/preferences.) Is it hardware-related ... although it looks like working quite good? Is it software-related ... how to clean everything?
In case such issue has not yet come up I will need to call the Apple help center. Can a phone number be provided? Thanks.
Regards.
Pierre

Your situation sounds identical to mine. But, with a 27" 2010 iMac and a 2009 Mac pro. Constant freezes, hangs, programs not quiting, unable to restart , shutdown.
I did a full re-install of Lion on both the iMac and Mac pro, including a full initialization of he disk, and, instead of migrating all my apps and data from time capsule, I individually re-installed each app.
Nada!..same problem..
On this past Monday, I reformatted my Macpro and re-installd Snow Leopard - it works perfect now!
Lion has got to be the worst product Apple has ever released. I have no idea why it works on so many Macs, when it seems to be so bad on many as well.

Unable to see pdf files with Lion upgrade

Since upgarding to Lion I've been unable to see my bank e-statements in Safari or Firefox. When the pdf file appears to load the result is a black statement in Safari and a white screen in Firefox. A right click does not allow me to download the file for viewing. When I spoke with their electronic support the said they have had many calls regarding this problem with newest OS X Lion upgrades. His suggestion was to uninstall or remove Adobe Reader v10.1.1 and allow Safari to read the files. Has anyone found a solution to this problem rather than completely abandoning Adobe Reader?

Hi BDAqua,
Thanks for the info, I dragged a PDF to desktop ctrl-, get info. change all to open with adobe.
Problem solved, many thanks for a quick response.

CS3: Error "Licensing has stopped working" | Mac OS with Lion Upgrade

Hi:
My trusty Adobe Photoshop CS3 has quit working with the upgrade to Lion on my Intel iMac.
Specifically, when I try and launch it now I get "Licensing for this product has stopped working. You cannot use this product at this time. You must repair the problem ..."
I went to this site for advice: http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/global/error-licensing-stopped-mac-os.html
I followed Solution 1: Delete the FlexNet Publisher preferences folder
It didn't work.
Now I'm trying Solution 2: Run the License Repair Tool
I get to step 5g and type:
sudo python /Volumes/LicenseRecovery\ 11.6.1/LicenseRecovery/LicenseRecoveryLauncher.app
I enter my PW.
Then I consistently get an error that reads:
File "/Volumes/LicenseRecovery 11.6.1/LicenseRecovery/LicenseRecoveryLauncher.app", line 1
SyntaxError: Non-ASCII character '\xfe' in file /Volumes/LicenseRecovery 11.6.1/LicenseRecovery/LicenseRecoveryLauncher.app on line 1, but no encoding declared; see http://www.python.org/peps/pep-0263.html for details
Can anyone help? Thank you very much!

This worked for me (Mac OS) :
1) you should have opened the LicenceRecovery111.dmg file and you should see in the LicenseRecovery directory a file named LicenseRecover.py
2) clic on the right of the mouse, do a copy of the LicenseRecover.py and renamed it at the end .pyOld
3) find in your Mac in the applications the Smultron.app editor (you may need to use a text editor that keeps encoding of the file when it read and save it, Smultron seems to do that), launch Smultron
4) in Smultron do menu : file - open and find, in the LicenceRecovery directory, the file named LicenseRecover.py chose it to open it.
In the options, I did not have to chose, because the default encoding (Occidental Mac OS Roman) worked for me (with menus in english then), but I think you may chose in the option when you open the file the coding : UTF-8
4) the first line in the LicenseRecover.py file was
# encoding: utf-8
. replace it by
# --*-- coding: utf-8 --*--
. save the file
5) try to re-execute the process as mentionned (sudo python ...)

Trouble with Lion upgrade: 2009 Mac Mini not rebooting.

Hi folks,
I'm having trouble with the Lion upgrade. My 2009 Mac Mini (running Snow Leopard) won't reboot. Everything looked fine, but it just went black after the gray and white Apple symbol screen on the restart and I can't get it to get past this. I should mention I'm using wireless keyboard and trackpad (both Apple) and a Philips HDTV via HDMI cable as monitor. Any thought? Looking forward to using Lion.
Thanks,
Chris.

Is anyone else having this problem (an infinite loop of "You need to restart your computer" messages)?
Any thoughts or suggestions? I don't know how I can fix the problem, since I can't properly boot into the OS. I tried holding down the shift button to boot into Safe mode, only to achieve the same results.
Any help would be much appreciated. I'm really looking forward to using Lion.
Thanks,
Chris

Lost ical events with lion upgrade...how do I find them?

Does anyone know how to get all ical events to appear in ical after a lion upgrade?

This may not help but, I've reached a point where I'll backup everything before ANY kind of upgrade or update and I'll even have two sets of Time Machine backups. I guess you'll have to restore forgetting about the upgrade and retry after refreshing the backup on a SECOND drive, don't allow yur current backup to start a new session at all, you may loose it. Maybe too late, but I just saw this now. Good Luck!

Problem with Lion upgrade after running Migration Assistant

I have a MacBook Pro that I purchased earlier this year. I bought a new MacBook Air yesterday.
I used Migration Assistant to migrate some of my data/settings from my old MacBook Pro to the new MacBook Air. After the migration, all of my original data was still available on the MacBook Pro (good as I wanted to keep a copy on the MacBook Pro and not all data was migrated). The new MacBook Air received all the right data and is working well.
I then purchased a Lion upgrade for my MacBook Pro and started the installation process. The installation process seemed to be going fine, but the MacBook Pro eventually hung. I let it "run" overnight hoping that it would finish the process, but the machine was still hanging a day later. I forced the MacBook Pro to shut down using the power button. Now, when I restart the MacBook Pro, I get the "Mac OS X Utilities" screen asking if I want to Restore from Time Machine Backup, Reinstall Mac OS X, Get Help Online, or Disk Utility. Does this mean my data is not longer available on the MacBook Pro? Also, I do/did have the MacBook Pro connected to a Time Machine and it had up-to-date backups at the time I ran Migration Assistant. However, I noticed that after running Migration Assistant, the MacBook Pro was complaining that it was no longer connect to the Time Machine.
My instinct tells me that I should attempt to restore the MacBook Pro using the Time Machine backup, but I'm wondering if it might be able to revive the MacBook Pro without having to take that step. Or, maybe I should select the "Reinstall Mac OS X" option first? Any ideas?
If I need to use the Time Machine backup, do I need to do anything special given the post Migration Assistant behavior I described above?
Thanks for any advice!

How can I fool Time Machine into using the original Backup Folder and just doing an incremental backup?
You can't. after using MA on it you have to start a new backup sequence. you can change computer name in Sharing preferences to anything you like but it won't affect TM backups.

Lion Upgrade - issue with WiFi Network

I recently upgraded to Lion and now everytime I restart my wireless network (Time Capsule) is not recongized and I must manually select it. I have the same issue with my magic mouse, although it does reconginze my bluetooth keyboard. What can I do to fix the issue?

Yes, same WiFi problem with safe mode. Everything was perfect until the upgrade to Lollipop. Now WiFi speed is 1/10 of before, and phone is slow in general. realy sad, sometimes even whatsapp messages takes minutes to be delivered.
Does anyone know how to select only 5ghz channel for the WiFi on the phone?

Issues with Lion upgrade - 2-finger gestures and iTunes

I have a late 2008 13-inch aluminum-body MacBook. Until yesterday I had Snow Leopard installed. Yesterday I upgraded to Lion and installed the updates, So I'm running 10.7.1. I have had two issues already:
1) Two-finger trackpad gestures do not work. Three- and Four-fingered gestures are working fine. I tried the unselect-reboot-reselect fix that worked for others, and it didn't help. Basically, I can't use gestures to scroll, which is exceedingly annoying.
2) I updated iTunes to the current version. My iTunes library has reverted to a version from 2008. None of my app purchases, TV show purchases, podcast downloads, etc. since that time are showing up in iTunes, even after I connected my Store account. The store says I have no new purchases to download. Additionally, iTunes does not seem to recognize the iPod Touch that I've been using with this computer since I purchased it several years ago - it says that the iPod is connected to a different iTunes library and cannot sync unless I wipe the whole thing.
My iTunes library is located on an external hard drive, but I can't seem to locate the actual "Library" file to fix iTunes.
Any ideas?

I just updated tonight and have exact same problem. . No more gestures with 2 fingers etc.

Photoshop CS5 does not load with Lion upgrade

The pop-up note says java runtime is needed but internet connection is not detectable. Diagnostics say internet connections exists. CS5 operated well on Snow Leopard for my intel i-mac. Any ideas why CS5 applications will not load on Lion OS?

Hi, Have you tried to manually download it from the Apple Support Page?
If that didn't work, have you tried to download it on another computer and transfer it and install it?
I've found an KB article from Adobe that lists known issues with Adobe products on Mac OS 10.7 Lion.
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/905/cpsid_90508.html
I use Mac OS X 10.6.8 and Adobe CS5.

Macbook Pro Mountain Lion Upgrade Issues

I recently upgraded my MacBook Pro with a solid state and fresh installed Mountain Lion. Since I did this my laptop has been very hot and it wont completely shutdown. It gets down to the blacks screen but it wont actually turn off and then I have to press the physical shutdown button and then my computer turns on it'll say it shutdown because of a problem.
In addition, it's very loud and it gets up to 80 and 90 degrees celcuis.
Any help would be appreciated.

I found that running the installer ( right click the installer and choose Show Package Contents) look for something that says InstallESD.DMG
Drag it to your desktop and double click it, it should run an installer while still logged in. Make sure all apps are closed.
Before doing this, I would open disk utility and verify and repair disks and permissions before installing and then after installing.

Thousands of safari bookmarks created with lion upgrade

Hi,
Since upgrading to lion OS, thousands of bookmark folders have been created in safari (maybe 50,000) which takes about 30-60s to load. They all have the same name 'Links', but are all empty.
Is there any way to delete these folders at once, while keeping my original bookmarks (maybe about 300).
THanks

Hi..
If you have iCloud enabled...
Open System Preferences > iCloud
Deslect the box next to Bookmarks then reselect it then restart your Mac.
