I'm having multiple problems with Lion. Please help!

I downloaded Lion on the first day or release and it has been a very frustrating experience. Today, I reinstalled Lion hoping a fresh install would fix my woes but the problems persist. I'm in desperate need of advice and would appreciate any help from the gurus out there!
I have a 24" iMac with the following specs:
Problem 1) Ever since I installed Lion Safari is a nighmare. Roughly 30% of any given website loads. Below is a screenshot of www.apple.com:
Problem 2) No matter how many times I uncheck "restore windows after closing application" my mac opens EVERY window that was open previously. For example, I do a lot of graphics work and use Preview as my image medium. Every time I open Preview 100 + images load unless I go through each one of them individually and close each window. *****.
Supposed solution:
What Preview looks like each time I open the app: 100+ Images
Problem 3) Even with 4 gigs of ram my Ram is constantly ran into the ground ever since the upgrade and my computers performance is in the gutter. I have to constantly use "MemoryFreer" to free ram which is sometimes down to 14 MB free out of 4 Gigs.
PLEASE HELP! Thank you!

TBH, Lion is a bit of let down, regardless fo whether there are issues present or not on your particular setup/system etc.
If a clean install has not fixed the issues above, I would be tempted to appraoch a Genius Bar and show them the problems. This may be faulty RAM and something that needs to be demonstrated, before a fix or repair can be considered.
Best of luck.
Yes you are correct, and as the OP did, questions are asked and other users try to answer. As for the poster I answered, he did not ask a question, but expressed extreme disappointment which he is entitled to do, therefore I suggested he have a read through some of the other threads to perhaps address whatever issues he is having. As you say it could be faulty RAM or a bad installation, or a hundred things inbetween. That is why you need to hunt down similar symptoms to narrow it down. Or if you are under warranty, let the Apple Store fix it.
Good Luck

Problem with replacement iPod - please help!

I just got a new replacement iPod and when I plug it into my computer to transfer my songs, the Updater pops up to restore the iPod, but then it says it can't do anything because the iPod is locked by another program. What can I do? Right now it still says "Do not disconnect."

Do not remove the iPod while do not disconnect shows.
Try using the windows device removal "safely remove hardware" icon in the system tray. If this doesn't work shutdown the PC and when it is powered down remove the iPod and reset it.
start up the PC and run the Updater, do not connect the iPod until the Updater prompts you to do so. If the Updater cannot see the iPod start over, but put the iPod into disk mode before you connect when prompted by the iPod.

I am having major problems with my track pad on my macbook pro. Even though my settings haven't changed...my trackpad is no longer responding as it did before. The left hand corner no longer clicks when I press it and my personal commands which I set up in preferences no longer seem to be workin. Please help!

Some websites have an internal mute or volume setting. If that's not the issue, see below.
From the Safari menu bar, select
          Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Privacy ▹ Remove All Website Data...
and confirm. Close the window. Then select
           ▹ System Preferences… ▹ Flash Player ▹ Advanced ▹ Delete All...

Anyone else having major problems with Safari 5.1 on Snow Leopard?

is anyone else having major problems with Safari 5.1 on Snow Leopard?
- address bar and search box are not resizing with browser window. the address bar and seach box set their size to the window when Safari is launched and remain that size.
- anytime i try to customize toolbar items disappear and i have to restart Safari to get them to appear.
- some 3rd party icons just remove themselves from the toolbar after a period of time
- when i drag a page from the tab bar to create it's own browser window the window disappears but is listed in the windows menu bar. when i select that window from the menu bar the window appears but i can't click on anything.
I've repaired permissions numerous times, reinstalled safari numerous times and restarted my machine numerous times and the issues all remain. i've never had any issues with Safari until now and 5.1 is looking like a huge mess.
besides the bugs above, has anyone had any luck with 1password working with Safari 5.1?

ok, i narrowed most of my issues down to Web Snapper and Videobox by TastyApps. Removed both of those and now everything works better.
I went out to lunch and came back an hour later and magically ALL of my previous toolbar icons that were added to my previous version of Safari appeared. Very strange.
as for 1password, it wasn't working at all before when i posted. everytime i tried installing the extension via the app my, Safari would open a window and hang (never load). I just tried it again and it seems to now be working.

I am having major problems with Firefox. About 3 weeks ago I started experiencing the display only when on Firefox for all web site, that the display would be shifted right about half a screen. It only happens on Firefox and happens for all web sites.

This issue can be caused by the Babylon Toolbar 1.1.8 extension
Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).

Problem with Onlocation crashing - please help!

Hi there - I am having a problem with OnLocation 5.5 crashing when I try to record in HDV. It works OK if I record in DV format. I want to be able to record to tape and Onlocation simultaneously - is it possible to do this when shooting in DV? Does anyone have any fixes for shooting using Onlocation and HDV?

This is most likely the result of a bug where OnLocation sees another video device like a webcam as a supported camera. The workaround is to disable that other device or program. There are numerous forum threads on this issue. Here's one: http://forums.adobe.com/message/3895552#3895552

Immportand. Problems with MB. Please help.

Hello
Im having a problem with my PC in the moust unpleasent moment as I can’t do my college work and I cant afford new PC in the next 4 months, so any help with my problem will be grealty appriciated.
OK.
Here is my problem.
When I work and that’s usualy using Internet and Office XP my PC is starting to slow down (mouse cursor is scroling very slow, I cant close windows) and afther a while its turning off. Whell its not turn off exactly because CPU, GPU and PSU fans are still working but the monitor is turing on stand by. When this happens I can’t do restart so I have to puss power on/off button on the case of the PC to turn the PC off. If I try to turn in on afther that NumLock and CapsLock indicators on the keyboard will flash for a second as well as monitor and again only CPU, GPU and PSU fans works but the system is not starting. This happened several times and every time till now I waited for a day to start my PC again. That was till the last time. Now afther 4 days I still can’t to start my PC.
NOTE.
When I opned the case four led diodes that are on my MSI mainboards were lightning red. In the manual explanation for this is “The procesor might be damage or not instaled properly. Damage/discharge lithium batery”
I doubt that the problem is procesor because the PC will never start if the procesor is damaged of instaled properly.
Iv also changed lithium batery but the problem remained.
And another thing. PC Alert 4 somethimes showd that CPU and system tempetarure were 78 C. Afther this restart the system and went in bios to see if that was the real temperature but the bios showed 32 C for procesor and 22 for system.
I have the latest drivers, bios and updates for windows. Iv checked for viruses with the latest updates for Pc-cillin 2002 and I didn’t find any viruses. Iv cheked every componets on other configuratios and they worked fine.
Now a frend of me told me that the cause of problem are condenzator on mainboard araund the procesor.
If you know whats is the problem please help me to resolve it.
Thank you..

Please tell us more about your system, including PSU.
It sounds very, very much like a melted condensator. It is not hard to check:
Open case and look for brown or darkcoloured... yecch... on the motherboard. Another symtom will be harder and harder to start and more and more frequent shut downs.
There are people here I believe that can guide you to change them. I would get another board because the problem might happen again. In either case, save all important work, logins, etc. to an external unit. Mail it to a friend if nothing else is available.

Having major problems with iPod Shuffle, please help!!

Okay, I have a 2nd iPod shuffle and it just will not connect to my computer. I've used to adaptor that came with it and it worked once but I only added a couple of songs and I want to add more now but I can't! The light blinks orange 3-4 times and nothing happens on my PC. I borrowed my friends charger and absoloutly nothing happens with his. But I can still charge it because I have a USB wall charger which I can connect my charger to and it charges perfectly with that. So, naturally I thought there was something wrong with my PC/USB sockets. So, I tried it on my friends computer - same results as with mine. I can't use the reset utility though because I'm running Windows 7 on 64 bit and there's no download out there for that. Please help somebody - I really want to add more songs to my iPod, and this is becoming really frustrating. :/

Okay, so maybe I wasn't clear enough when I said nothing happens on my PC? Well, literally nothing at all happens on my PC, it doesn't show up in My Computer or iTunes.

Major problems with my ipod...

It's quite irritating, and I'd like to start right from the beginning with it's history. if you're uninterested in the history of problems I've had with it just scroll down.
Anyways, I've had my ipod touch since christmas 2008, and in the beginning (maybe the first 1 or 2 syncs) everything was fine. On the third sync i started having problems, and had constantly had to try to get past them where one day i was finally able to completely sync it. After that 3rd sync I never bothered syncing it again on itunes.
Now i got a new laptop, a Dell Inspiron 1525 which uses Vista Home Premium. Since I got my new laptop I wanted to get it connected to itunes from it, rather than the desktop because I was giving the desktop to my dad for him to use as a server (or something, I'm not quite sure). The first time I plugged in my ipod touch, it caused itunes to freeze, making me unplug it and restart my computer.
(My problem:)
Today, I tried syncing it because I was told by my friend a new update to the software was available via itunes which was meant to fix the recent problems with it. I decided to install it, everything was going great. When the software installed into my ipod touch, I tried to sync it, but alas it still did not work. In the end I tried restoring my ipod, and here's where the major problem happened. It started to restore and near the end it told me my device timed out. I unplug and replug my ipod to get the same message.
After 1-2 times, I closed and re-opened itunes in which I tried plugging my ipod touch in again. It gave me an error message (unfortunately I don't remember it), so I decided to restore it one last time. This caused my ipod to now "not be recognized by itunes" as it malfunctioned. I know people have been posting about this problem, but it's not the only problem my ipod has now. Now my iPod touch won't even turn on. i've done EVERYTHING, I held the power and hold button, I held the power and hold button for 10 seconds and held the hold button for another 20seconds (like someone had suggested) and it did not work, and nothings working.
I plan on returning it in exhange for a new one, but i really don't want this to happen again, which i'm afraid it might.
So I have two questions:
1) Why did my iPod do this, and why won't it turn on no matter what the typical drastic responses tell me to do?
2) What can i do so that my ipod will properly sync on my Window's Vista?

Is your laptop going to sleep in the process of restoring the Touch? To be safe, you might want to temporarily disable "Hibernation" on your laptop while you sync, and make sure that you have external power applied.

Having TWO problems with my iPod mini.

I've had my ipod mini for a year and a half. I only ever use it 2-3 times a week for 30 mins at a time at the gym, and sometimes in the car. Already I'm having two problems.
Problem #1- Battery. I've noticed alot of other people on here seem to be having this problem aswell. I'll charge it fully and leave it in the charger over night. I disconnect it, Start playing it, and 1 or 2 songs later I get the message saying "battery low, please connect to power source" It just came OFF a power source. I have 2 different ways that I charge my ipod. I use the computer. And I have a clock radio that it sits in to play the ipod and charges it at the same time. It dosen't matter which I use.. I have the problem either way.
Problem #2- When the battery actually is working(which is rare) sometimes the music sounds like it's under water. Basically, The music plays, but with very low bass. I usually either listen to it through my car adapter, or through my headphones and I get the same problem either way. This isn't all the time though.
I've never dropped it, gotten it wet or left it in the sun. It's had no physical damage at all.
Does anyone know what may me going on? I've followed the steps and tips from other posts on the battery issue but nothing has worked for me. The only thing I can think of (and probably the only thing anyone can recommend) is that I send it in to get it repaired. However, I refuse to do that. I don't think I should have to pay to repair apple's 1.5 year old products especially since I paid close to $300 for it in the first place. I also don't want to receive a refurbished one, I want MINE fixed or a brand new one(which I know won't happen).
Any suggestions would be appreciated.

1. Place 1 drop of rubbing alcohol on the home button.
2. Press the button repeatedly with pencil eraser making sure to get liquid into area surrounding button.
3. Dry off area with paper towel.
4. Press home button until it works again.

Anyone else having WiFi problems with the IPod Touch 5th Generation?

I upgraded my old IPod Touch 3rd Generation to a 5th Generation yesterday. I've noticed however that for some reason the wi-fi connection on the 5th Generation drops off all of a sudden for no reason at all and I can't figure out why. Anyone else having similar problems? If so what did you do?

Does the iPod connect OK to other networks?
Does the iPod see the network?
Any error messages?
Do other devices now connect OK?
Did the iPod connect before?
If only your network then it could be a problem with your network
Try the following to rule out a software problem:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Power off and then back on the router
- Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
- iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
- Wi-Fi: Unable to connect to an 802.11n Wi-Fi network
- iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

Anyone else having this problem with the iPod Touch 5g?

I just got the iPod Touch 5g tonight, and I love it, however I have this one little issue with it. Here's a picture of it. As you can see, the app I'm using isn't taking up the entire screen. Is anyone else having this problem? Is this something that needs to be fixed with an update for the app? Several of my apps do this.

The app isn't optimized for the larger screen. You just need to wait for them to update the app.

WRT350N - How to tell if it's V1 or V2? Having major problems with it

I have a WRT350N that I purchased about a year or so ago and I'm trying to figure out if it's V1 or V2. Seems like tons of people are having problems with this series. I was having problems with the wireless connection going dead constantly (5+ times a day). Since I work from home this was obviously not acceptable. I upgraded the firmware after talking with Linksys tech support. After that, the problem got much worse. Now the wireless connection goes down as well the router loses it's internet connection. I finally removed it from my home network and put my old reliable D-Link 614 back in place. It's been working fine and actually has way better range. Before I throw this WRT350 in the trash I would like to see if mine is V1/V2 and if there is anything I can do with it.
Thanks!
Matt

To find out the router's version number look at the bottom of the router, it should say Model Number : WRT350N, right next to the model number if it says V2 then it is version 2 else it is V1...I assume it should be V1...
If you have intermittent connection, you should download and upgrade your router's firmware from here
Follow these steps to upgrade the firmware on the device : -
Open an Internet Explorer browser page on a computer hard wired to the router...
In the address bar type - 192.168.1.1...Leave the Username blank & in Password use admin in lower case...
Click on the 'Administration' tab- Then click on the 'Firmware Upgrade' sub tab- Here click on 'Browse' and browse the .bin firmware file and click on "Upgrade"...
Wait for few seconds until it shows that "Upgrade is successful" After the firmware upgrade, click on "Reboot" and you will be returned back to the same page OR it will say "Page cannot be displayed".
Now reset your router :
Press and hold the reset button for 30 seconds...Release the reset button...Unplug the power cable from your router, wait for 30 seconds and re-connect the power cable...Now re-configure your router...
For Wireless Settings, please do the following : -
Click on the Wireless tab,
- Wireless Network mode should be mixed...
- Provide a unique name in the Wireless Network Name (SSID) box in order to differentiate your network from your neighbours network...
- Set the Radio Band to Standard-20MHz and change the Standard channel to 11-2.462GHz...Wireless SSID broadcast should be Enabled and then click on Save Settings...
Please make a note of Wireless Network Name (SSID) as this is the Network Identifier...
For Wireless Security : -
Click on the Sub tab under Wireless > Wireless Security...
Change the Wireless security mode to WEP, Encryption should be 64 bit.Leave the passphrase blank, don't type in anything...
Under WEP Key 1 type in any 10 numbers please(numbers only and no letters eg: your 10 digit phone number) and click on save settings...
Please make a note of WEP Key 1 as this is the Security Key for the Wireless Network...
Click on Advanced Wireless Settings
Change the Beacon Interval to 75 >>Change the Fragmentation Threshold to 2304, Change the RTS Threshold to 2304 >>Click on "Save Settings"...
Now see if you can locate your Wireless Network and attempt to connect...
