Installed Lion yesterday and Timemachine doesn't work.
Timemachine starts up but then advised that it failed as either the drive was ejected or disconnected. I can see and open the drive with Finder as well as open a couple of files I have on the drive. Once I do that, and restart the backup, the system tells me that the backup file is in use. I have an external drive connected through Airport Extreme and is formatted for the iMac.
No, you were misled, partly because Apple won't put anything on it's website or train their reps.
As noted in the link, it does work, sometimes, to a degree, for some people.
But most likely, your backups will turn up corrupted, probably beyond repair, sooner or later. There are many, many threads in this forum saying exactly that.
This has been the case since Leopard was released (and Time Machine introduced), about 4 years ago.
There might be a new Airport Extreme coming, but after 4 years, an update to the old ones is not in the cards. It appears to be some limitation in the hardware, or Apple would have fixed it already.

StefSo you launch Safari and what? Provide a link to the google site that's not working for you. Update to the latest version of Flash Player. Make sure it's on in System Preferences>Flash Player.

I just installed RH 10 and it doesn't work
Hello,
I apologize for my poor english.
I used to run RH 6 and it worked very well for the past 6 years. My compagny purchased RH 10 a few days ago.
I installed RH 10 and after running a few seconds, it shuts without any message. Just a nice shutdown.
This appears either running my project.xpj or running RoboHTML.exe itself.
My computer runs under Windows XP SP3, Intel Duo CPU 2.93 MHZ, 2.00 GB RAM + MsOffice 2007.
I tried the same with my antivirus software stopped. Same problem.
I have uninstalled and reinstalled three times. No way to make it run properly.
Thank you in advance for your help.
Rémy PAPIN. French author.Hello Priyank
Meanwhile, i think i fixed the problem.
I was using Word 2000 and i noticed RH 10 would prefer Word 2007. So i uninstalled Word 2000 but unfortunately i guess the registry hasn't be cleaned thoroughly. That was probably the problem.
I proceed with some softwares to clean it and had, too, a manual cleaning done.
After installing MsOffice 2007, the computer has been stopped and reboot and RH 10 seems to work properly.
Strange! Weird!
Best regards.

Installed Lion yesterday and now have no way to open Apple Works draw and paint files.
Anyone have suggestions?
Gene, those are incredibly old applicaitons that were based on PPC (Power PC) versions of OS X. Beginning with Lion legacy apps that are PPC based are no longer supported. There are numerous tools availalbe however you will need to do a little legwork to find what you want. I would recommend using Google and search using "Appleworks draw and paint replacements Lion" and you will find a lot of hits. Once you have located one that will import your legacy files then you should be all set.
BTW if you would lke to provide feedback to Apple regarding this you can reach them at www.apple.com/feedback. -

I tried to airdrop Civilization V from a Macbook Pro with Mountain Lion to a Macbook Pro with Lion and it doesn't work. Other apps have but Civ V has not.
Likely because it's a not self contained and/or it's game and copy protected, so install it via the developers instructions instead, which likely means it will have ot be uninstalled off the first machine, the developer contacted for a new license key before installing on the newer machine.
If you want it on both machines, you will need to likely buy another license.
Most developers are fine with transfering license between machines, you have to contact them.
They just want to make sure it's only on one machine so they are not getting robbed. -

I have Adobe Acrobat 9.5.4 installed on my computer and it doesn't work when PDFing
I have Adobe Acrobat 9.5.4 installed on my computer and it doesn't work when PDFing my document using Microft Word 2010. I have tried using the tab add-in, but it doesn't respond either. The only way to convert my document is to save it as a .pdf from the save as drop down box. I need to be able to have the full functionability of creating a PDF document with the tabs and links working.
Please help!From OFFICE 2010 you either have to have AA X or just print to the Adobe PDF printer. You give no information on your operating system or specifically what you mean by PDFing -- there are multiple ways to create a PDF from a WORD document and you have given no information. However, in this case your only choice is to print to the Adobe PDF printer. Otherwise, you need to upgrade Acrobat.

Installed Panther on Older iMac and Mail Doesn't Work Correctly
I installed panther on my son's iMac recently. I created a subaccount for him from my verizon dsl account. I made sure all the info was the same on my mail preferences as in his but we can't send or received anything. I keep getting a message to put in the password for the account and I do and it doesn't let me in, just the same message comes up again. I put his account into my mac's Mail program and it works fine, but on his it doesn't. All the info is the same - I've checked and checked his password and it doesn't work. I even put my account info onto his computer and I have the same password problems. Anybody?
thank you now everything works
