If I upgrade to LION and Word, PP, EpsonScan, Dropbox etc. don't work anymore - what can I do?

If I upgrade to Lion, and Word, PowerPoint, EpsonScan, Dropbox etc. don't work anymore - what can I do?

Even if you could upgrade, Lion does not support Power PC apps / Rosetta.
Lion upgrade questions and answers:  Apple Support Communities
New Macs come with Lion pre installed. If you can purchase one at some point that way you'd still be able to use the apps you mentioned on the PBook and have another Mac running Lion.

  • I just upgraded to lion, and now my wi-fi printers don't work. How do I get Lion to find them again?

    How can I get Lion to find my wifi printers?  When I upgraded to Lion, I could no longer print to them.

    did you run software update to see if any new drivers are available?

    I have the same problem. I can put things into the trash, but when i empty the trash it makes the crumple noise like its throwing it away and the files stay in the trash and the icon stays full. I have 10.7.2. I also have Parallels installed on my machine.
    Before this problem, I was unable to add files to my trash can and then I removed this program called CleanMyMac, which I guess wasn't compatible with Lion, and now I can at least add items to the trash can. It seems I am having a lingering issue due to that program.
    I have a case with Apple Senior Support Analysts and they can't figure it out...
    Please help!! I do not want to format and start all over just to empty my trash can
    I also do not want to install Trash It (which would empty the trash i've heard) but will not resolve my issue only cover it up.
    Thanks!!

  • I recently upgrade my mac air to maverick and now my version of iphoto won't work.  What can I do??

    I recently upgrade my mac air to maverick and now my version of iphoto won't work.  What can I do??

    This screenshot shows which previous versions of iPhoto are compatible with Mavericks.  It also indicates which versions qualify for a free upgrade to iPhoto 9.5.1 and which require a purchase:
    Note 1:  every day more users are reporting problems with iPhoto 8.1.2 so I've included it in the non compatible category.
    Note 2:  If your previous version of iPhoto was iPhoto 7 (08) or earlier you'll need to download and run the iPhoto Library Upgrader 1.1 application on the library before opening it with iPhoto 9.5.1

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    If you are unable to remember your password, security questions, don’t have access to your rescue address or are unable to reset your password for whatever reason, your only option is to contact Apple ID Support, upon speaking to an operator you should explain that your problem is related to your Apple ID, this way you will not be charged for assistance, even if you don’t have an AppleCare plan.
    You will need to show patience with the procedure and be prepared to demonstrate without question that the account belongs to you. Don’t expect access to be restored immediately and if you aren’t the owner of the Apple ID registered to the device the account won’t be reset.

  • Mac Os X Lion 10.7.1: HDMI cable audio still not working. What can I do?

    I updated to Lion 10.7.1 where it said that the audio issue for hdmi cables was fixed, but I can't get it to work. What can I do? Does someone has the same problem?

    Yesterday I connected new MBP 13" to Samsung LED 1080P TV, via Moshi mini-port (firewire) to HDMI cable.
    Sys Pref: DISPLAYS (clicked Detect Displays), found the Samsung TV, clicked it.
    Sys Pref: SOUND (clicked the Samsung option, which appeared after going thru the DISPLAY step)
    After doing that, the sound went to TV, even using my 5.1 Harmon Kardon SS setup, same as when I watch Uverse.
    Good Luck!!

  • Since upgrading to Lion 10.7.3 my USB ports don't work for anything. Any ideas?

    I have been a long-term (nearly 25 years) Apple User, so am reasonably familiar with the system. I upgraded about 1 week ago with an automatic update to Lion and since then I have had massive problems using the USB ports on my Mac Pro (which is from 2009). At first this affected every USB port and I couldn't use my keyboard or mouse, but since restarting a couple of times, and repeatedly inserting and removing them into the various rear ports, I can use these plugged in via monitor cable.
    However, the USB ports for other devices are extremely problematic and frustrating as nothing seems to work consistently on them. This affects all devices that I usually access (and which all worked seamlessly before upgrade), including my iPhone (which will power up but not be recognized when plugged into any front or rear port), external drives, cameras, and my printer. However, for the printer only (a Brother MFC 9840) it will work some times if I restart the computer, but not others. I have tried rebooting, switching ports, using other cables, changing power cords. I have read multiple threads on USB issues with Lion for a solution including those to do with printers (https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3301218?start=0&tstart=0), those to do with external drives (https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3510032?start=30&tstart=0), and even those to to with modems (https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3164614?start=0&tstart=0). Despite this, I note that there appear to be no consistent solutions reported and that in other support threads including reseting PRAM. I do see many more problems than I would have expected.
    I don't know if this is related, but after the upgrade I also had problems with Outlook not working, but for some reason that seemed to stop after a couple of days. Just in case I also checked to see if I was affected by the malware program (https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3856206?tstart=30), but thankfully I am not.
    I am sure this has to do with the upgrade to Lion 10.7.3, and have been expecting something from Apple to address these issues, but nothing so far. I am completely lost for solutions, and any help gratefully received.
    Slightly unrelated, but again speaking to a possible change in culture in Apple that has seen upgrades cause more problems than they solve, I am also affected by the change from MobileMe to iCloud and the loss of push e-mail. For those not aware, this has been an issue for more than 6 months, and on the discussion there are now 35 pages of comments, and no solution in sight (https://discussions.apple.com/message/18050375?ac_cid=142432#18050375).

    Generally speaking, a full recharge and reboot after the recharge will solve the issue with the ports.  Many ports will also start to fail if you leave devices hooked up to them when the machine is asleep.  Unfortunately, many non-Apple devices don't understand the low power mode ports go into after Energy Saver is woken up, and only a reboot solves that problem.

  • My iphone got ran over by a car and doesnt work anymore what can i do to get this fixed?

    MY iphone got ran over by a car and the screen is shattered and the phone wont turn on, what can i do?

    Make an appointment at the genius bar. An out of warranty replacement is $199 for an iPhone 4S. The caveat being that the phone has to be more or less intact... If you take them a "bag of parts", they won't offer a discounted replacement.

  • After I upgrade to Lion OS my Lexmark printer mod. x1185 does not work anymore. I need the scan and copy functions, since I have a HP laserjet for printing. Even in the new (sep/08) driver file from apple there is no driver for my printer. Anyone could h

    Driver for lexmark x1185 (series 1100) for MAC OS 10.7. Anyone has a solution ?

    You should contact Lexmark. They have not released a driver for this printer since 10.3, and they no longer sell it. You could try the Generic PostScript PPD and see if you get limited functionality.
    Hope this helps.

  • I recently upgraded to Lion and i find that my computer is running slow and applications are crashing.  For example I have Word 2011 for Mac and it crashes all the time I end up losing my work.  It often happens when I'm in notebook trying to record.

    i recently upgraded to Lion and i find that my computer is running slow and applications are crashing.  For example I have Word 2011 for Mac and it crashes all the time I end up losing my work.  It often happens when I'm in class using notebook and when I press record my computer starts thinking and it freezes.
    Also, I feel that it overheats often and my battery runs out pretty quickly.  I had the macbook (black) and this never happened before.  I'm not sure if I'm doing something wrong or if there is something with my computer.I bought my computer summer 2010, I don't think this should be happening. Please Help......

    This is exactly what keeps happening to mine too.  I was at a conference taking notes, and I was
    using the Notebook template, and doing some audio recording simultaneously.  About 3 hours into the conference (not consistently recording, but on and off with the sessions) my file wouldn't save anymore, saying something like "File cannot be modified while in use with another program" and "Invalid file name" when I would go back into my folder to look for it). I tried installing some updates from Microsoft, and when I restarted, I was at least able to open my old notes again, and so far it looks like the audio was working.  However, today at the conference, the same thing happened again, but I wasn't actively recording any audio (though after I had copy and pasted my second file of notes into the original, I went back to using it after re-naming it). 
    Does the crash happen to you under similar cirucumstances?  The update might help a little, but it is definitely not the solution.  Does anyone have any solutions?  Lion shouldn't be this buggy... I moved to Mac to get away from the garbage of bugs and compatibility issues...

    Have not a clue if this a LION problem or Microsoft problem.  My gut says Microsoft as they acknowledge the problem in their support section.  Their solution:  Open files with previous version of Word.  That is completely unacceptable as a solution in my opinion.  Why would have I ever bothered to upgrade to 2011 if I had known I need to keep a version of 2008 running on my computer. 
    Honestly I don't know if it's a Lion or MS problem eihter. I have been using Lion for many months with Office 2011 with no problems though.The earliest version I had on my machine was 2008 and 2011 opened those files with no problems at all. As Dave mentioned earlier he opens Office 2004 files all the time with 2011.
    One thing you might want to do is restart the computer while holding down the Option key then select the Restore Volume and run Disk Utility and repair the Disk Permissions on the HD. Run DP at least 2x.

  • Just installed Lion and now my Word, Excel and Powerpoint no longer work. What can I do to open all old documents?

    I just installed Lion to my Powerbook that I purchased in October 2010. My Microsoft Word documents no longer open and my Mac version of Word, Excel and Powerpoint no longer work. What can I do to open all old documents?

    Upgrade to Office 2011. 
    You must be running Office 2004, which was designed to run on PowerPC Macs.
    PowerPC apps would run via "Rosetta" on Snow Leopard, but with Lion, Apple has finally pulled the plug on PowerPC apps.
