Is the Aperture software compatible with Lion & iDVD

Is Aperture creating either a movie or slideshow compatible with Lion and then iDVD to burn a DVD using iDVD? As it stands now, with Lion, I cannot burn any DVD using iDVD and iMovie, iPhoto or Aperture.. Does this mean iDVD is broken under Lion and those applications ? If so what new $ software should one buy that is compatible with those Apple Applications to burn those applications to a DVD's ? The iDVD lead in's were really nice..

I'm surprised to hear that iDVD cannot burn a DVD on your system. Have you looked into it at all? Have you tried resetting the PRAM and PMU?
Thank you, Frank,
that surprised me as well! The error message I got was "Your Macintosh does not have a supported SuperDrive". It happens only on my MBP 17" 2.2 GHz Intel Core i7 since OS 10.7.3; I tried some hardware trouble shooting, hardware test, resetting the PRAM and PMU, but then ignored it, because I had no need to use iDVD and still can run iDVD on my SL MBP or the Lion iMac.
Right now I cannot do anything about it, because I have installed a Developer Beta Version of MacOS on that MBP; so I cannot do any further Lion Tests on that machine at the moment, or discuss system related issues concerning that machine in a public forum

Has anyone successfully used the Intuit Quicken compatible with Lion upgrade for investment tracking?

Has anyone successfully used the Intuit Quicken compatible with Lion upgrade for investment tracking?

Although I gave up investment tracking for personal reasons (I had used Quicken Deluxe 2002 for many years for that reason), my understanding is that the new Quicken 2007 for Lion/Mt. Lion is completely the same feature wise as Quicken 2007 for PPC. It will run on Snow Leopard, too.
For $15, why not download it and just try it and LET US KNOW!

It sounds to me that you are migrating from a PC computer to a Mac.
To the extent that you are using Microsoft Office on your PC, you should just purchase Microsoft Office 2011 for your Mac. All of your Word, Excel and PowerPoint files should open easily in Office 2011. Your contact/mail program, Outlook, is now also supported in Office 2011, but I personally have no experience in cross-platform data transfer for Outlook. Somewith with cross-platform Outlook experience, please jump in!

Is there a list for applications compatible with Lion?

As I contemplate the move to Lion from Snow Leopard (10.6.8) I have the usual hesitation about applications and utilities working after the move.
This feeling is especially heightened by the final swan song of Rosetta, I think this might be 2nd only to the move from OS 9 to OS X.
I was wondering if anyone had enocountered a list of software compatible with Lion: applications, utilities, etc?

Very shortly after asking this question I found an answer...

Time Capsule 1TB Will this unit still be compatible with Lion OSX ,As I have not switched yet until other programs I have installed on my mac are up to speed

I have had my eye on one of these for quite some time in the past and up until just very recently have puchased a 1TB Time Capsule at rather quite a reasonable price or so I had thought compared to what they had been priced at originally in the past which I had thought to be a bit over the top as is with most of apple's products or should I more say marketing tactic's,
Anyway I was just wanting to know in general is this unit already so to speak on it's way out or becoming obsolete in comparison to the 2TB's and 3TBs Time Capsules ,
Not the implicating the obvious being storage in differences but more so the compatibility issue side of things,
In short will this unit still work with OSX Lion for example, or is it only limited to Leopard and Snowleopard,
The place I had purchased this unit from are more or less in the dark themselves and although more than helpful are more a musical instrument outlet than a computer store as the decision was my choice alone in which I need not to be convinced,
Although I have purchased this item I am yet to recieve as this unit was the one of the last in the country and is to be shipped in from out of town,
But has given me time to think of such in the process during as this unit is no longer advertised amongst it bigger companions,
I use my mac or mac's mainly for composing music with such software as Pro Tools 8 soon to be 9 and also Live 8 Studio as I don't plan to plan to change over to Lion OSX until these programs are up to speed and speaking the same language,

Yes, it's compatible with Lion.

What label maker is compatible with Lion OSX 10.8.2?

what labe maker is compatible with Lion OSX 10.8.2?

You'll have to search online yourself and see their specifications if it meets your requirements.
There are CD label makers, Avery label makers, standalone machines that spit out a label at a time etc., etc. check for Mac compatability also.
A lot of database software also can make labels on a printer using the Avery numbers (or close to it) and similar sized labels, sold in office type stores aka "compatible with Avery 2060" for instance.
A free piece of database software that works on Windows, OS X and Linux is the free LibreOffice suite.
However you have to turn Gatekeep to "Anywhere" first to install it, link here.

Is Acrobat X printer (distiller) compatible with Lion?

What does anyone know about Acrobat X, X pro being compatible with Lion - most importantly the distiller. Reason I ask is I'm having issues sending PDfs to certain PC users when I'm using the built in PDf printer in the print dialog. I'm thinking if I use the real Acrobat distiller I may not have this issue, but I don't know if it works with Lion. Adobe's website is less than helpful and doesn't give straight answers.
Thanks for the help

I was under the understanding that Universal meant it was written in such a way that it would run Intel but bring Rosetta in if needed on a PowerPC. In any case, the research I've done in considering Lion said to get rid of all the PowerPC software as it would not work. It said nothing about Universal software. So now Lion is begining to look even scarier.
I am confused though, that a bunch (25%) of Universal software on my father's laptop (I used him for a guinea pig) is working on Lion.

HT204032 is this firmware update compatible with Lion?

I have set my MacBook Air to dual boot Lion and Mountain Lion, is this firmware update (MacBook Air SMC firmware update 1.6) compatible with Lion? So if I boot the MacBook into Mountain Lion, accept the firmware update, and then boot into Lion will I have any problems?

Thanks for the responses, but they really don't get me any further because they don't contain anything that I couldn't have inferred myself. I've been developing software for nearly thirty years and just because Lion won't be using this particular feature doesn't mean the change won't break something else.
What I really need is an assurance from Apple that this update has been fully tested on Lion.
I don't have a compelling need for this Power Nap feature so I won't install this update for the moment, unless Apple issues the assurance.

Is Drobo REALLY compatible with Lion?

I have a 2nd Gen Drobo (4 Bays with Firewire plug). Ever since upgrading to Lion I have had numerous issues. Super Duper (which was always very dependable) is not backing properly and my computer actually gets frozen quite often. I can usually unfreeze it by unplugging the Drobo. The Drobo website says that it is compatible with Lion and the Drobo Dashboard says that the Firmware is up to date and the drive is healthy, yet I still have problems. My Lion install was a clean install.
Am I alone on this?

My Drobo FS is performing no differently under Lion than it did under Snow Leopard. In other words, it's stable but slow as molasses.
Because the FS is a networked drive, though, I'm able to mount it on my desktop through Finder's "Connect to Server" option rather than rely on Drobo Dashboard. I suspect that's what's causing you trouble — on my computers, Drobo Dashboard has never been a stable piece of software.
Hope you're able to figure it out.

Depending upon how extensive your library of legacy Microsoft Office data files are, you may want to consider continuing to use Microsoft Office 2004.
Microsoft Office's 2011 version is compatible with Lion and presumably either works with Mountain Lion or an update will make it so. The problem with this approach is that Office 2011 will "convert" your earlier data files and there lies the rub! For example, I have the need to weekly open a chart created in Excel 2004, but Excel 2011 trashes the chart in its "conversion."
So I have approached the overall problem differently.
The reason your applications do not work in Mountain Lion is that they were written for the older PowerPC CPU that all Macs used up to 2006. When Apple made its transition to the Intel CPU, they licensed software that they included in all versions of OS X (from Tiger to Leopard and optionally, Snow Leopard) called Rosetta.
Rosetta miraculously allows PowerPC applications to work on the Intel processor transparently; you do not know it is even present.
The problem is that after 6 years of the transition, Apple's license to use the underlying software expired for OS X Lion and all version thereafter (and it is doubtful that the current owner of the software, IBM, would relicense it, even if Apple were inclined to do so).
So for those of use that need to run Lion, I have offered the option to install Snow Leopard (with Rosetta) into Parallels 7:

Is iPhoto8.1.2 compatible with Lion?

I have several thousand scanned slides stored in iPhoto. I have too many Horror stories about disappearing photos and/or metadata to risk Updating to iPhoto 11. If iP{hoto is not compatible with Lion then Lion is DOA with me

One would expect iPhoto '09 to be compatible however until Lion is released it certainly is impossible to answer the question
As to iPhoto '11 - best you stop listening to horror stories and look at facts - iPhoto '11 is solid and works well and has millions and millions of happy users - and a very few unhappy ones as does every software package - all that is required to protect your precious photos is a good backup - and if you do not have one you will lose them (along with your other files) sooner or later
After Lion is released read the documentation and check to see if people are having problems with older versions of iPhoto

It is certainly not compatable with Mountain Lion so I would doubt if it is supported under ion also. Best way is to download it from here (only 13.5MB)
http://www.kilbot.com.au/2011/10/18/download-e-record/
and if it has a cirle with a line through it, as it does for ML then you will know it is not supported.
You can always contact Kilbot here

Anti-Virus Software compatible w/ Lion

Hi,
I have just downloaded the latest Lion OS X onto my MBPro - Was wondering if anyone know any existing Anti-Virus software that would support the Mac OX S 10.7 ?
Thanks in advance for your response!

VirrusBarrier X6 (latest version) is compatible with Lion, it is probably the most advanced Software for Mac as well ... only inconvenient: it is not free. http://www.intego.com/

How can A new Logic Studio (9.1.1) not be compatible with Lion?!

***! first Lion makes my 11 Rack's software inopperable, and now I finally got Logic Studio and it says I can't use Logic Pro because it's version 9.1.1. I was already having trouble, and after an our with apple phone support and a few more installing the software it says the install was a success, but then underneath it reads an error occurred and it failed. I never realized how confusing (and confused) Apple can be. Why have an app on a DAW called Compressor, yet having nothing to do with actual audio compressors, What the **** is it ?!! Is it a Logic Studio or a Logic Pro?!! The box only says Studio, what version depends on how knowledgible the salesperson is.There's no way to tell otherwise except by the price. So why then does the app say Logic Pro, which by the way, is the only app (apparently) outdated. All the other apps of the Logic Studio suite bundle have no problems being openend. But as if this isn't confusing enough, check this out:
       I barely had my brand spankin' new MacBook Pro (15') three months, and it never let me down, even when some supposed tech suggests I take it in for a look because of their personal lack of resourcefulness. In other words, if they can't figure it out then it must be my computer. This has happened to me atleast five times already on seperate occasions, and how many of those times was it actually necessary - count 'em - ZERO! It took me a few seconds to figure it out myself after hanging up, and this is my first computer. But I'm getting off course, let me reiterate:
      It says on page 11 of the installation manual "Important:Soundtrack Pro 3 and Compressor 3.5...will be deselected if Logic Studio installer detects Final Cut Studio 2 or earlier on your system" (due to incompatibility issues - what else is new). So my first mistake was calling Apple support, and incidentally, even though I payed extra for a three year support contract at the time of my purchasing my Mac, Logic Studio is only covered for 90 days (I wonder why). I called because of all the items checked for installation, Compressor was grayed out. Turns out that the apps in question don't get along with the iLife '11 Suite, WHAT!!! Avid (Pro Tools, Eleven Rack, etc.) and Apple is one thing. They're competitors, so I wouldn't be surprised the sudden incompatibiliy issues with Lion and 11 Rack was no accident (just like M-Audio's Axiom Pro, also owned by Avid, working best with Pro tools is niether a coincidence) but now I feel I'm giving their resourcefulness too much credit, because now I stand dumbfounded at how a flag-ship Apple product has discrepencies with another flag ship Apple product...wait, what? Did they forget when comprising the new Lion OS, that they were also a leader in Audio Software?
      Anyway, I was sent an email with these directions: 1. From the Finder, choose Utilities from the Go menu.
                                                                                2. Open the Terminal application from the Utilities folder.
                                                                                 3. Enter the following case-sensative command exactly as it appears:
                                                                                    sudo pkgutil --forget con.apple.pkg.AppleintermediateCodec
                                                                                4. Enter an administrative password when prompted.
                                                                                5. Install compressor from the Logic Studio installer.
                                                                                 6. From the Apple menu choose Software Update.
                                                                                 7. Install any available updates.
    Anyway we never made it past #4. The prompt by the way (omitted in the diections) is a solid standing rectangle at the end, as opposed to an empty one, but we're just supposed to magically know this is the prompt. I start typing (after being told to press return - also omitted above) and no letters transpire. The tech then suggests we try it again, even though I followed his suggestion of copy & pasting. We did, same thing, so he then suggests he needs to view my computer, as if I was the one malfunctioning. But that was another issue altogether (which I care not to repeat), and eventually he just gave up and suggested I speak to a "higher-up" specialist, but not before he admitted there was something he overlooked and that he's sorry, this after wasting over an hour of my time, and also after - now get this - he suggested I take my machine in since it would be easier, yea, easier for him, how about the time & effort already wasted.
    This new tech says, that the password is not supposed to show when I type it in, What?! Now this is the real kicker, this time it did appear. So really all they were doing was creating even more unexplainable anomolies. We presumed it did the trick, even though "Compressor" was still grayed out in the list. He told me why, which I didn't care to understand, and as long as it says install next to it that I'll be ok. I then told him, this is exactly how it looked before I even made the call in the first place (hence why I said that was my first mistake), but he was right since Compressor well and present, however *** is up with Logic Pro! Please, anybody, save me from having to call Apple Support again (not that it helps) these are geeks not musicians.

Yea, I know, I figured it out shortly after. I feel kinda silly now but it just seemed too easy after all the fuss with Apple support. Like I said, if they don't really know what their talking about they go off in all sorts of crazy directions. I wasn't even having Compressor issues like so many others do (told ya my computer never lets me down). Not sure what the lesson here was, Apple Care is usually pretty helpful (or atleast moreso than other tech supports), but next time I'm having trouble with anything remotely music related they will be the last ones I call.
     By the way, thanks for the reply anyway and reading my lenghty complaining. I really needed to blow off some steam after that needless ruckus.

What iPhoto version is compatible with Lion OSX 10.7.5 and will it let me make photo calendars?

What iPhoto version is compatible with Lion OSX 10.7.5 and will it let me make photo calendars?
I have just upgraded from Leopard to Lion (via Snow Leopard) because I could no longer order photo calendars with iphoto 7.1.5. However, I still have iphoto 7.1.5 and need to upgrade this. From the App store it looks as though I cannot get iphoto 9.5.1 due to the incompatibility with Lion. I was recemmended not to upgrade beyond Lion due to the age of my iMac computer (2008 version) by Stormfront staff.
What is the best iphoto to upgrade to and how do I do this e.g. iLife '09 or '11, or are there any other 'stand-alone' versions of iphoto that would be compatible? How do I know whether my computer is capable of upgrading to Mountain Lion? I definitely want to be able to make photo calendars, books and cards.
Thanks

iPhoto '09 or '11 - purchase an iLife '09 or '11 DVD (amazon or eBay are potential sources) and install iPhoto and update to the latest version for your OS
