IChat no longer works in Lion

Hey all,
I recently upgraded to Lion and now my iChat is totally dead. I can open the app but its impossible for me to sign in. The buddy list hangs on my screen collapsed and says 'offline'
When I swtich my status to available nothing happens. I deleted the accounts in my iChat prefs and readded them all but it still doesn't work. Any ideas?

Hi,
Check iChat is allowed through the Mac Firewall if On
If you have Face Time open it and go to the Preferences and turn it Off.
Restart the Mac and try iChat.

Internet sharing no longer works after Lion 10.7.4 update

Internet sharing no longer works after Lion 10.7.4 update. Hopefully Apple will fix this shortly. Little excuse for this kind of screw-up.

so here is da answer
1. go to finder>(computer name)>macintosh HD>library>preferences
2. copy the entire systemconfiguration folder and systemconfiguration.old folder to your desktop
3. restart mac and device which you share intenet to
then you have internet that is about 3x slower than the da 10.7.3 intenet sharing, but works
then, just wait for apple to release da 10.7.4 fixed
please use da steps!

The "Quit all applications" key combination no longer works in Lion

The standard Mac OS key combination to "quit all applications" no longer works in Lion. It only quits some of them some of the time - not all of them all of the time. Could this have something to do with the other "no Save-As" problem?
Either way, it's yet another backwards step - one of several in Lion that are cumulatively slowing down and intefering with my workflow.
I fear someone may jump in here and explain that this is one of the great new features and that it's my fault for being too dumb to appreciate it.....

Your workflow is valuable to us; your opinions help us solve problems.

My cisco vpn no longer works with Lion

After installing Lion, my cisco vpn no longer works. If I force boot in 32 bit mode it works fine, so appears to be a cisco client issue. Does anyone know if CISCO is working on 64bit client compatible with Lion?

Not sure this answer helps me or anyone else. My VPN connection no longer works in Lion. How do I re-set the parameters of my VPN connection to work in Lion?
Below is what my VPN screen look like:

ITunes Home Sharing No Longer Working Under Lion

Home Sharing is no longer working between Lion and my Apple TV or iPhone. I am able to watch Netflix through my Apple TV (2nd Gen) so I do have connectivity. I have restarted both devices, and updated iTunes to 10.4. Under "Advanced" in iTunes, Home Sharing is turned on. In Preferences in iTunes under Sharing, it says Status: On, no users connected, even though my Apple TV is connected to the network.
Is this problem isolated, or are others experiencing the same issue?

I'm up and running. Spoke with Apple and they had me go to : preferences, network and create a new location. That seems to have reset something. I had to reset all my devices back to my main network that had stopped working. The guest network will not let Home Sharing work, only the main network.
Others have been able to use Home Sharing without clicking "Done" after typing in their password. After you click "Done" the Shared disappears in iTunes.
Apple help people were GREAT!

Automator No Longer Works in Lion

I have about 50 automator scripts that I used in Snow Leopard and almost all of them no longer work in Lion or work inconsistently. Is there anything I can do to fix this issue?

I'm having the same issue:

IChat won't work in Lion

Trying to fire up iChat in Lion & it won't change my status to Available

Most likely there is a message/dialogue somewhere asking for access to your keychain.
Since Lion is a new 'application' (or iChat to Lion, whatever), the old access right no longer works. Once you have given access to your keychain ('always allow') it should work.
Well...that's how it went on my machine when I had the same problem.

Surf stick no longer working with Lion

Hi all,
first time I had a bad experience with apple products:
I have installed Lion straight away and unfortunately my 3G USB surfstick is no longer working. I have the T-Mobile Internet Manager 03 and no connection is available at all.
Seems it has something to do with the Novamedia Disk Suppressor. No longer supported???

Well, heck.
I am so sorry you guys couldn't get through to me. you can email, [email protected] anytime for full support.
On the issue of Lion, and the XLR8 devices?
Apple did change a number of items, that limited the XtraView's ability (this is the one, with the built-in audio on the older 2820 chipset). Audio, just won't work in 64-bit mode.
The easy workarounds are to boot into 32-bit mode (hit 3 and 2) on boot.
To check if you are in 64 bit mode, go to the System Profiler (Apple Menu > More Info > Software (left pane) and see if the 64 bit is loaded.
If in 32-bit mode you are still having an issue, please check that you are running XLR8 version 1.4.6. You can download new versions at http://XLR8.com.
You can email XLR8 for a free audio cable (Mac sound jack to RCA audio), or for $25, XLR8 can upgrade you to the new 2860 device that works in 64-bit mode.
Now, that hopefully, we have you working again... about Daystar. Actually XLR8 has always developed, built and shipped the devices. Daystar just had a bigger name and was an Apple Authorized Reseller. But, the Apple relationship ended, and Daystar closed.
XLR8, LLC will continue to support the devices and we will continue to provide great products and good support (sorry, we are a small company, and due to limited time... I can only provide "good" support. Maybe one day, it will be great.)
We are expanding the website at XLR8.com. You are always welcome to provide feedback and suggestions.
Oh, and lastly, thanks to Thiago, for sending me an email, and alerting me to the thread...
Gary,
XLR8

Screen saver no longer working after Lion upgrade.

Hi,
After standard upgrade about 2 weeks ago (mid July 2012) the screen saver no longer works. I mean I can certainly access the application and the desktop can be made to cycle through different photos etc. But when I configure the screen saver it just refuses to go into screen saver mode at all.
I'm not seeing too much occurance of this through the postings which is a bit worrisome as I'd thought this would be a much wider issue.
Cheers,
Herbie

IChat No Longer Works With Expired MobileMe Trial Accounts?

In the past, you could use an expired .Mac (now MobileMe) trial account's username, to log into and use iChat. But I believe now that this no longer works. Apple must've changed the rules. Can anyone else confirm this? I haven't been able to use iChat for about a month now, logging in with an expired .Mac trial account username.

Have not heard of a expired .me not working.
Try logging on to AIM on port 443 rather than port 5190.
Go to IChat in the menu bar > Preferences > Accounts.
Log out of AIM and then use the Server Settings tab
Set the port to 443.
Log back in again.
might be worth a try .
"change your user login setting to AIM, do not use .MAC setting
in user name field, type your full user name. example : [email protected]
it will not appear the password incorrect error."

Dashcode no longer works with Lion

Snow Leopard 64 with Dashcode - no problems.
Updated to Lion - Dashcode now no longer works.
Any ideas people?

Found the 3.2 but wont works!
I've extract and copied the 3.2 Simulator SDK right alongside the 4.3 (Path where I copied the 3.2 folder: Developer, Platforms, iPhoneSimulator.platform, Developer, SDKs), but won't works! Now I have in Dashcode the option to switch to 3.2 (Ipad) but an error occurres when the ipad try to open: "The simulator can't find the SDK KIT. You need to reinstall it." :-(

Var apps no longer working on Lion

Hi All,
Just upgraded to Lion to find var apps not working.
Specifically Office 2004 which wilst I'm not exactly happy with can live without, but still don't appreciate fact this was not sufficently advertised as being an issue BEFORE i upgraded, and now need to buy either upgrade or switch to something else.
But other apps have stopped as well, presumably for same reason.
My Daughter went to play Zoo Tycoon this morning and that seems to have gone the same way.
anyone know if this can be "fixed" or there is an upgrade available for Zoo Tycoon ? or is tehre a version that WILL work on Lion ?
Like I say not happy doing what was billed as relatively minor upgrade (10.7 to 10.8 doesn't SOUND like a significant upgrade) being much more troublesome than anything I've done previously.
any suggestions ?
Thanks
David

This is a fairly well known issue, caused by OS X 10.7 Lion dropping the Rosetta emulator, which allowed PowerPC code to run on Intel systems. My system is set up as a dual boot system, which uses Lion for everyday use, but can also be booted to Snow Leopard when I need access to a few PowerPC programs I have.
If you want to see what is affected, click on the apple on the left of the menu bar, about this mac, more info, system report, and under software click applications. This will take a few moments to populate. Then click on kind and scroll down to find PowerPC. These programs will no longer run under Lion.
Zoo Tycoon 2 is available in a univeral binary which will run on Intel systems. If you buy an older version, here's the upgrade link to the free upgrade so it will run on Intel systems.

Mail Accounts Shortcut no longer working in Lion

In Snow Leopard I heavily relied on some custom shortcuts for switching between my different email accounts when sending mail as outlined in this site: http://hints.macworld.com/article.php?story=20081120093222315 . Then I upgraded to Lion and much to my chagrin, these shortcuts are no longer working. I have tried everything to get them to work: resetting passwords to defaults, repairing permissions, deleting my universal access and keyboard .plist files. What I have noticed is that it may be a problem with the "<>" characters used by mail in this field. When I create a shortcut in System Preferences I will type "SV <[email protected]>" and exit System Preferences. When I go back in it says ">SV <[email protected]>". No matter how many times I go in and try to fix this it doesn't work. If anyone else is having this problem or if anyone has any suggestions, Please Help!

This is difficult to sort out without hands on access to the webapp. I think Firefox should still allows your webapp to detect the Shift+F9, or at least it does in this simple example:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">
<title>Test Shift+F9</title>
</head>
<body>
<p>Try Shift+F9<br><input type="text" name="textinput" size="25" value="sample value"></p>
<script type="text/javascript">
function keys(key){
if (!key) {
key = window.event;
key.which = key.keyCode;
if (key.which == 120){ // F9 key
if (key.shiftKey){
alert("Shift+F9 pressed!");
} else {
alert("F9 pressed without Shift!");
return false;
document.onkeyup = keys;
document.body.focus();
</script>
</body>
</html>
It's possible that a change in Firefox 19 is interfering with the function triggered by the Shift+F9 keyboard shortcut. Is there another way to run it to see whether that might be the case?

File sharing no longer working under Lion

File Sharing no longer works on our household macs running Lion. Shared volumes show up intermittedly in the finder sidebar. But connections fail.

for what it's worth, i too am experiencing this issue and it is driving me insane... Any chance you two came across a workaround or fix?
i've discovered that clicking on "AirDrop" on the shared Mac seems to awaken the shared services (screen sharing, file sharing etc.) and make them available on networked devices.
i'm beginning to suspect that Bonjour may be the culprit as services advertised using Bonjour suddenly spring to life.
it's short-lived unfortunately as availability eventually ceases... Clicking again on AirDrop reliably brings it back...
That's where I am currently... if anybody has any ideas, I'd love to hear them.

My photoshop no longer works with lion, any solutions?

my photoshop and microsoft office no longer works since i upgraded to lion, and suggestions plz?

Lion doesn't support Rosetta PPC based programs, you either need to FIRST check with your third party software before upgrading a operating system or have a easy means to revert to a earlier OS version.
You can look though my extensive post here and find various ways to go back to Snow etc.
