I recently installed Lion and now my software update won't work

Everytime I try to click on software udpate it says "Checking for new software" with a progress bar and then
"The Software Update Server is not responding. Check to make sure your network connection is operating normally. If there are no issues with your connection, contact your network administrator for assistance."
My internet connection is fine and I suspect this is related to the Lion download. Please help!

Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ If you’re running Mac OS X 10.7 or later, open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the page that opens.
Select "/var/log/install.log" from the file list. Post the messages from the last installation attempt, starting from the time when you launched the Installer or Software Update.
Post the log text, please, not a screenshot. If there are runs of repeated messages, post only one example of each. Don’t post many repetitions of the same message.
Important: Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Edit it out by search-and-replace in a text editor before posting.

  • I installed Lion and now my MS office will not work, is there a way to revert back my original software?

    I installed Lion and now my MS office will not work, is there a way to revert back my original software?

    Back to Snow Leopard from Lion install method
    Read and print out these instructions, your computer is going to be offline and you wil be cutoff from help until your machine is restored.
    Clear the Desktop, Downloads and Trash of anything you wish to keep by placing their files in the respective Documents, Music, Pictures, Movie folders.
    If you have a TimeMachine drive, update it and disconnect for the duration of this restore time. It will be your second backup system and will have to be wiped and setup again after successfully going back to Snow Leopard if it was connected to the OS X 10.7 boot drive. If it wasn't, then leave it disconnected without updating to Lion.
    Backup ALL your Users folders (Documents, Pictures, Movies, Music etc) manually (drag and drop methods) to a (not TimeMachine) external powered drive (HFS+ journaled formatted in Disk Utility) and disconnect, your going to be wiping the entire disk of ALL DATA. (warning, everything will be gone and not recovered)
    Here we go!
    Hold c and boot off the 10.6 installer disk that comes with your computer and second screen in just STOP.
    Look at the Utilities Menu for Disk Utility.
    On the left is the name of your hard drive maker, click it and Erase (format HFS+ Journaled), give it the same name as before, and click Erase...
    This should wipe the drive of ALL partitions (GUID, OS X and 10.7 Recovery, Windows if present)
    When it's done, quit and install OS X 10.6. Then install all your programs from fresh sources and validate/update.
    When you setup a first account, use the same user name as before, this way you can simply drag and drop the content of your previous Users folders from the external drive right back into the new Users folders and everything should work peachy. Links in iTunes to music, playlists and iPhoto links especially.
    Update OS X to 10.6.8 using the Combo Update for best results.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1399
    (Note: If your original machine had 10.5 and you want the free iLife that comes with the disks with the computer, then you'll have to install 10.5 first using the same c boot/erase/format methods as above, then update to 10.6 via the disk, then Combo Update 10.6.8)
    Final step optional but highly receommended.
    A lot of people use a Carbon Copy Clone of their boot drive to a HFS+Journaled external drive as a "hold the option key" bootable backup in case something goes wrong with their boot drive or need to restore to a previous OS X version..  (in addition to TimeMachine drive for more immediate backups.)
    It's not advised to have a Bootable Clone and a TimeMachine partition on the same external drive, as two drives gives hardware protection in case one fails.

  • 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.

  • I installed Tiger and now my printer/scanner won't work

    Hi. I installed Tiger and now my multi function printer/scanner/fax is not recognized by my computer. I have the Brother MFC 420 CN. I downloaded some drivers and such which I thought would resolve the issue, but still it does not work. What can I do? Thank you.

    According to this page:
    http://www.brother.com/E-ftp/macosxstate.htm
    The MFC-420 CN is not listed. Sounds like you have a printer whose driver never was updated. Contact Brother technical support and ask them to fix that issue.

  • I just recently installed Lion and now my 27" imac thinks it's a 24". I can't find any way to correct it, help?

    Pretty much like it says up top.
    I have a 27" imac that was running 10.6. Now that I upgraded to 10.7, it thinks it's a 24" for some reason and the resolution differential is making my mouse track annoying slow while inside programs. (But not on the desktop, oddly.)
    I can't find ANY way to correct this thing's assumptions about how big it is. Can someone help me convince my computer it's not that small?

    Reset the NVRAM/PRAM, and recheck the Display preference pane:

    installed lion and now I have a locked harddrive and do not have the persmissions, how do I fix this?

    Thanks for the link. It is a wealth of good info.  I still haven't been able to determine what caused my crash, but with the link you provided I should be able to track it down.  Hopefully it was just a one time thing.  After using the power button and rebooting all seems ok now.  Thanks again.

  • 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?

    Are you using the latest version of Silverkeeper? - v.2.0.2 is stated to be compatible with Snow Leopard.

  • Installed Lion and now Ical says I don't have permission to use it

    Installed Lion and now my Ical says I dont have permission to use it so it automatically closes.  I have made myself the owner in the get info folder and it still doesnt work.  Any body got any ideas.
    Thanks.
    Bob.

    Have you tried to restart the system? Sometimes this is caused by a running application blocking the access.
    If that does not help, look for a lock file in the iPhoto library package as described here by Terence Devlin:
    Re: The iPhoto Library is locked, on a locked disk, or you do not have permission to make changes to it. iPhoto can try to repair the permissions.

  • I installed Lion and now have 2 system preferences(1 original and 1 alias). How to fix?

    I installed Lion and now have 2 system preferences(1 original and 1 alias). I'm trying to clean up Launchpad and I have 2 system preferences and 2 iTunes apps. How can I merge or remove the unecessary files?

    No. It's perfectly safe. An alias is just a pointer to the actual file, not the file itself.
    BTW, the icons in the Dock are also just aliases, so it's safe to remove those as well, and just keep the ones you use often.
