I purchased Lion, because I was having trouble with Safari, now I have more problems......

I  cant use some of my software programs now because they were for MAC but power based.  I wish Apple said that before taking my money.  I am unemployed and cant go out and buy all new software.  
In addition Lion is not recognizing my usual USB2 cables that always used to work for iPhone charging purposes - they work to connect the iPhone to the computer - and see the iPhone in iTunes, but it wont let me charge the iPhone, the iPhone gives the error message something like charging not supported with this .....
has anyone been able to get anything to work after upgrading to LION?
- these things seem like something that Apple can and should fix - and Apple if you are reading this - This should be restored for all the customers whose computers you have messed up by suddenly not supporting these expensive software programs and cables and equipment were a costly investment and they are not that old that you should stop supporting them – especially the cables – which, I get an error message saying they are not supported, when for years they were supported.

Which operating system are you running? Not sure, click the apple on the left of the menu bar, the click about this mac. It will say version 10.6.x or 10.7.x.

    If you are wondering why you are not getting any responses, it is because you have vented a complaint without any details that make any sense or give anyone something to work on.
    If you want help, I suggest actually detailing what has happened, with versions of software etc. Anything that would let us assist.
    As a start I am guessing that you have not really got the hang of "How it all works". Firstly download the Pages09_UserGuide.pdf from under the Help menu. Read that and view the Video Tutorials in the same place. A good addition would be the iWork 09 Missing manual book and something to help you learn how to use your Mac.
    If there are specific tasks you need help with:

    This issue was resolved! I didnt think about restoring my computer to factory settings but I did and now my computer works like brand new. basically, just back up your files and do the following:

  • Has anyone else been having trouble with safari ever since the update? I have restarted several times,mans it still doesn't work.

    Has anyone else been having trouble with safari ever since the update? I have restarted several times, it still doesn't work.

    Greetings Blueleoapple,
    After reading your post, it sounds like you are experiencing an error with Safari. You may want to consider resetting your device, which is different from restarting. This article provides detailed instructions for Restarting, and Reseting:
    Restart or reset your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
    How to restart
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the red slider appears.
    Drag the slider to turn your device completely off.
    After the device turns off, press and hold the Sleep/Wake button again until you see the Apple logo.
    How to reset
    You should reset your device as a last resort and only if you can't restart it.
    To reset, press and hold both the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons for at least 10 seconds, until you see the Apple logo.
    Thank you for contributing to Apple Support Communities.
    Best,
    Bobby_D

  • Hi all, Since I updated to Mavericks I am having trouble with Safari showing all the buttons/clickable options, but they are gray and will not work. Specifically, the Trash Can/Delete and the "Move to" folder button simply do not work. Any ideas?

  • I was having troubles with Firefox, so I tried to re-download it and I can't find a place to download Firefox for MAC OS X 10.4.11

    There really are no no more details. The only version of Firefox that I can find that is available for downloading is not compatible with MAX OS X 10.4.11
    This means I am really in trouble. I sent the version I was using to the trash because I was having so many troubles with it not connecting to various sites.
    Where can I find a Firefox version that I can download?

    You can get the latest version of Firefox 3.6 from http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html

  • I am having trouble with safari and most apps shutting down when I'm in the middle of stuff what do I need to do to resolve this?

    I am havering trouble with safari and apps shutting down on me all the time what can I do to resolve this problem. Thanks :-)

    Make sure you have enough free space on your iPad. With iOS 7 it is recommended that you have 15-20% of the storage space on the device free.  For a 16 GB device that is 2.4-3.2 GB free. For a 32 GB device that is 4.8-6.4 GB free. For a 64 GB device that is 9.6-12.8 GB free.
    Also try a reset. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. See if that fixes your problem.

  • HT201250 Having trouble with my mac, i have lost my assignment that i was working on and can't find it anywhere on my hard drive or USB. Is there anyway that i can retrieve my Document?

    Having trouble retrieving a word document,
    I cant find my assignment anywhere on my Mac, and when i look at where i saved it, its like it has reverted back to when i first saved it, without all my work that i have completed.
    Is there anyway that i can retrieve my work?

    Hey merodi,
    I dont fully understand your problem here,
    1. Did your computer shut down or 'die' or did you save and then you cant find it?
    2. Have you tried looking in spotlight (little magnifying glass up the corner)
    3. Have you tried opening the program again? In word and pages, if the program exited forcefully, opening it again will restore the document.

  • Also Having trouble with Safari

    I have redownloaded Pantha twice, hoping to redown load Safari but it doesn't work...this is the message I get...Safari cannot open a browser window and may be missing important resources. Try installing Safari again. This started when I did the software update this week. Can I delete the whole program of Safari and then just download Safari and still retrieve my bookmarks and other info without downloading the whole of Pantha.???
    I have never had trouble with anything in over 2 years.

    - Reset the iPod. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.

  • I just purchased the 4S and am having trouble with it at least once a day says Invalid Sim, what would cause this and how do I fix it

    I just purchased the I 4S and at least once a day, it will say Invalid Sim, what would cause this and how do I fix it?

    Then, if there's any data on the drive that you want to keep, you have to back up before you do anything else -- assuming it's still possible.
    Basically you have three options:
    1. Install a copy of the Mac OS on an external hard drive, boot from it, and copy the data from the internal drive.
    2. Start the problem Mac in FireWire target mode (command-T at startup) and connect it to a working Mac with a FireWire cable. The internal drive will mount as a FireWire device.
    3. Remove the internal drive and mount in an external enclosure on another Mac.
    Once you've backed up, follow the sequence in the support article linked below. The article is somewhat outdated. Where it refers to booting from an installation disc, you should boot from your recovery partition (if running Lion) by holding down the key combination command-R at the chime.

  • Help I made a boob.  I was having trouble with my Adobe authorisation in my Override app, it suddenly wouldn't accept my password so I couldn't download books.  I tried everything I could think of but no use.  Finally I had a brainwave I would change my e

    Help please,
    i've made a catalogue of mistakes.  I've had an Overdrive app for ages to access library books which was great but this is what happened-
    1.  Suddenly a message kept coming up each time I logged in saying Adobe acct ........... is saved in your overdrive acct do you want to deauthorise or authorise.   I kept clicking on authorise but thought it might be better to deauthorise and authorise it properly in settings.  I tried this but my Adobe ID didn't work- nothing came up to say it was wrong but I kept getting thrown back to the authorisation screen and could not get any further or download books.  I did check my password was okay by signing into my Adobe account and it was the only one I had which I had used when I upgraded to I.o.s.7 and it was fine.
    I tried logging in and out, resetting my overdrive acct and eventually deleted the overdrive app and then reinstating it but nothing worked.
    2.  I decided if I got a new Adobe acct using my google email address then authorising the Adobe reader through this  might work.  However. It all seemed to go well I created the account then put all the details into my overdrive acct.  thought this was going well but I got a message as I tried to download a book 'fulfil code 2004' , saying another ID could not be used.  I'm now stuck it won't allow me to try my original ID.
    Can anyone help help me out of this mess and can I delete an Adobe ID once created please?
