Junk OS Lion

Anyone knows how to downgrade from OS Lion back to Leopard? The OS Lion is a piece of junk, and no support for Java? Then might as well buy a PS3 if going using for games.

Downgrade if you like that's your prerogative. But at least get your facts straight. Okay, Lion didn't ship with Java installed, but that doesn't mean it's not available or unsupported.
Look here.
Seriously, all I did was google the term "Lion Java".

  • How to not "read" Junk Messages In Lion Mail?

    In the new setup in Lion Mail, the left column now has the subject line and first couple lines of the message.
    To create any kind of action with the message, I have to select it.  It then appears on the right and is seen as opened mail.
    For most messages, this is okay, but for junk mailing (foreign entitities wanting money etc.), I don't want to open it but I do want to delete it.
    Does anyone know how I can delete without "selecting" the message and automatically opening it or do I just have to use the alternate older view of Mail that is provided?

    I second this... Some emails I don't want to see at all. (i.e. Prince SoNSo has left me a gazillion dollars, all I have to do is reply...) Is there and edit button in the new mail as similar to the one used on portables?

  • OSX Mountain Lion - piece of junk

    OSX Mountain Lion is a pice of junk!
    (and this is coming from a die-hard Apple enthusiast)
    the system crashes, the promised quicker performance is at at the cost of stability of the system,
    shame on you Apple!
    I cannot even write a review using the reguler channels (from launchpad) because it crashes
    (and believe me, restarted the system several times)
    Lost data during systems forced restarts, this is costing me hours of work!
    (automatic data restoration does not work, dociments do NOT get saved)
    what a joke!
    Give me back my Snow Leapoard,
    wait, you can't!

    As Thomas says, may be an error during the installation, my advice is to re-install wat mountain lion, then download it from macc app store, create a key or a DVD boot:Want to make a Mountain Lion USB stick or SD Card Installer?- 9to5Mac
    save the things you need, reformat and re-install.
    also tries to use utility disk to verify and repair the disk and / errors (prior to the procedure that I outlined above.
    or re-install snow leopard (next you have reformat ) and install mountain lion
    from this address you can see the app compatible with mountain lion

  • Junk Mail Filter in Lion: Any Better or Still Mediocre?

    The junk mail filter in Mail is not that great. I have several domains that I receive mail from and I get about 90 false negatives per day. I select the spam generally and mark as junk mail, but that seems to do nothing. The same sender/same subject/etc. seems to get through every time. It does catch a lot of spam, but the effectiveness of "mark as junk mail". I am not convinced that marking the spam has any effect at all - maybe I shouldn't bother.
    I am still running snow leopard and haven't upgraded to Lion. I am wondering if Lion has better permanent spam erradication.
    thanks

    Sigh... Jeffery and Michael, you are like the Apple Support people... you simply do not comprehend what is happening or what people are talking about.
    First off, the O'Reilly article is from 2004... that's 7 years ago. If you want to believe that OSX has not changed in 7 years, that's your perogative, but it is clearly not in tune with reality. Nor with what Apple is selling. The article may or may not still be accurate... there is no way of knowing.
    It would be nice if the Junk mail filter actually worked the way the O'Reilly article describes. I believe that it did back in Panther, when the article was written. And it might have still worked that way in Snow Leopard, but I do not believe it did. The last I remember it working the way the article describes it was in Leopard. Under Lion, the Junk mail filtering is simpy NOT WORKING -- period.  It can't even recognize Junk mail flagged by either me.com or gmail.com.... despite "Trust junk mail headers in messages" being selected.... and BOTH of those sites have no problem flagging junk mail.
    Second. Yeah, mail rules "sort of" work. The problem with them under Lion, the same as it was under Snow Leopard, is that they are simply NOT applied until you make a change to the rules and get the "apply rules" pop-up. The impression I get from Apple Support's non-responses is ... they are not supposed to be applied "automatically." Or, "they are working as intended," not as expected!
    Tony's response is the most useful one I've seen so far.

  • Junk mail filtering under Lion

    I upgraded from Snow Leopard to Lion on day 1 ... since then junk filtering no longer works.
    I've reset the filtering twice now, with no change in behavior. (rebooting after resting both times)
    Mail set to mark as junk and move to junk mailbox... neither happens until I manually mark it as junk.
    Mail is set to mark as junks and leave in inbox ... nothing happens in the Inbox, even when I mark it as junk... i.e. message color is not changed, even though selecting the message shows "marked as junk" in the message window.
    And yes, I get a TON of spam... most of it in Cyrlic or Asian character sets.
    A lot of my mail is forwarded from my .mac and Google accounts where IT IS CORRECTLY tagged as junk... only on my iMac is it not tagged.

    I am having the same problem.  Under Snow Leopard Mac junk mail filtering worked like a charm.  Now it's just like Outlook Express - nonexistent.
    Has anyone found any solution?

  • OSX Lion Mail Server Junk Mail Filter blocks incoming mail from any Yahoo address

    I have yet to be able to use OSX Lion Mail Server's Junk Mail Filter.  I have several contacts who use (free) Yahoo Mail addresses.  Whenever I turn on Junk Mail Filter, even at the Most Cautious setting, any incoming mail from Yahoo.com addresses do not make it into my inbox.  I was told last year by an Apple Enterprise Tech Support contact that "..we're still having problems with that Junk Mail Filter, sorry, just leave it off for now.."  WTH  In the meantime, the good news is I'm not missing any incoming e-mails; but, I'm having to sort through and delete a few hundred spam messages each day. 
    Suggestions?  Thanks in advance

    I agree with the points made by Strontium90. If you have any PCs then Apple's mail/contacts/calendar software is a poor choice. Kerio Connect as a mail/contacts/calendar server would not only support Macs but would also do a good job supporting PCs running Outlook.
    If you are going to become a pure Apple site, then you could use just the Apple software and this would be cheaper than using Kerio. For 30 users this might be a suitable solution, however even in a pure Apple environment many people prefer Kerio. For example I find Kerio much more pleasent when dealing with email addresses across multiple domains, email aliases, email group addresses, and so on. Kerio also has built-in email archiving, that is keeping a record of all emails. Kerio also provides a web-browser client for accessing email, calendar and contacts. It is worth noting that as standard Mountain Lion Server no longer includes a webmail feature. While I personally find the Kerio webclient rather ugly it does work.
    There are some annoyances I have with Kerio, firstly they have always charged a 'maintenance' fee for their software. This provided access to software updates, and in the past also provided access to Kerio technical support. Unfortunately they now only let you make two (2) support cases per year for that cost, and you now have to pay extra for any more cases. Also while they added support for EWS (Exchange Web Service) to allow using Outlook 2011 for Mac as a supported email client, they did a poor job of this so that it does not work properly with any other EWS compatible client. This means it will not work in EWS mode with Apple Mail, nor with Outlook for Windows. While there are other ways to connect these other clients, this seems a foolish move and there have been plenty of requests to fix this.
    Apple's Mail client uses EWS to connect to a 'real' MS Exhange server.

  • Getting rid of all the junk left behind from SL after upgraded to Lion

    I still seem to have a-lot of junk that was left behind from SL - I want to get rid of it all as I want to just start with Lion from fresh.
    Can someone tell me how to get rid of all the junk that SL left behind when I upgraded to Lion (like all the old plist files and all of that).  Also I seem to still have some of my SL settings in there as well.
    Ideally i would like to do a fresh install of Lion but I don't want to loose any of the stuff that came preinstalled on my computer (Like iLife and all of that) and since my NAS that I was using for Time Machine wont work on Lion there would be no way of backing up or restoring those.
    Thus I am left with just manually deleting all of the junk.
    Can someone give me some instruction on how I would go about doing that (like anyone that has already upgraded and then deleted all stuff SL leaves behind.)
    Thanks
    jason

    You can start with /Utilities/System Information > System Report > Applications and delete all PPC apps.
    Once you have your Apps cleaned up you could clone the system to another disk, do a clean install and just use Migrqtion Manager in Setup Assistant to migrate only Applications.

  • Junk left over from Lion - can I delete it?

    Having reverted from Lion 10.7 to SL 10.6.8, I find some folders that I think are Lion specific (I know, I did it the wrong way; I should have wiped the disc before cloning back...but its too late now as I already updated a load of stuff, then re-cloned my source to update it before I noticed this stuff).
    Can anyone tell me which of these I can safely delete? I'm assuming I definitely don't need DocumentRevisions-P100, not sure about the Spotlight-P100. I s that Lion specific Spotlight file? I don't think 10.6.8 supports mobilebackups either, and have not idea what .hotfiles.btree is.
    Any help much appreciated.

    You are seeing a number of files/folders, the dimmed ones, that normally should be invisible. You DO NOT want to delete them. I'm seeing mostly 10.6 ones; there may be one or two that are Lion specific. I don't know Lion, but if they aren't doing any harm, just make them all invisible and forget about them.
    Open the terminal and type or copy/paste:
    To make visible.
    defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles -bool true
    Reverting to the default of NOT showing hidden files ( use this one):
    defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles -bool false
    Restart or Force Quit Finder required to take effect.
    killall Finder

  • Mountain Lion Junked my RSS feeds! How do I get them back!?

    I sumbscribe to about 30+ RSS feeds via my mac mail. I upgraided to Mountain Lion opened my mail to read my blogs.... and they've been deleated! So gutted and ****** off at apple for deciding my blogs don't matter anymore.
    How do I get them back?.. can't remember where they all are.

    Did you back up your previous OSX installation?
    If you did, you could revert back to it.  If not,
    you may still find them in ~/Library/Mail/V2/RSS.
    They will .mbox files.  You may be able to import
    them into a new RSS reader.

  • Lion has been installing for almost 3 days...HELP.. This in junk

    Can someone help me also. I have been downloading lion for two days not and it will not stop.  I get the blue bar on the bottom and it says installing. I turn the computer on and off and it comes back and still says installing. Also I cannot get to any icons or anything else. I did control R on start up and then it says error during instal. Then it goes back to saying installing with the blue bar. How in the **** can abort this crap and install SL back on the computer?
    Thanks

    Thanks
    It sounds like it is installed? Try clicking on the OSX!
    The Recovery HD will download a copy of the installer and install it automatically. It will take a long time for the downloading. You should then have 10.7.2.
    By the way it also includes a Disk Utility to check out and repair the disk first...
    I would recommend doing this because as things are, you are likely to lose your data, trying to get back to SL. Anyway millions of people are using Lion and enjoying it, so don't be put off.
    If you really want to go back to 10.6.0 then you'll need to boot from an external and run Disk Utility to remove the partioning, then do an erase / install. You will need to get your data off the computer first, including Bootcamp if that's what you mean by "Windows". Is it readable just now?

    Firefox doesn't do email, it's strictly a web browser.
    If you are using Firefox to access your mail, you are using "web-mail". You need to seek support from your service provider or a forum for that service.

  • Dual boot, Mountain Lion and Mavericks and Migration Assistant

    Hi all,
    I have a Macbook Pro Retina which cam with Mountain Lion installed, and I want to upgrade to Mavericks. However, I have a need to run some apps in Mountain Lion, as official support for those apps will not go past 10.8.5 (Avid's Pro Tools 10) and I need to be able to open archived projects.
    I also wish to clean install both operating systems fresh, and do a stripped ML partition, with bare bones essentials, on the smallest partion possible. Mavericks will be the main system, and ML won't host user data, only the legacy apps. I am fine with erasing my 500GB SSD.
    My current process is to install ML from the recovery partition, and use disk utility to partition before I do, then install Mavericks from a bootable USB (already made).
    So my questions are these:
    For ML:
    1. What size partition is the minimum necessary to install ML, plus the apps and run without hitch? The legacy apps will take maybe 4GB.I want this as small as possible.
    2. When I do a fresh install of ML, what apps can safely be deleted without affecting the system?
    For Mavericks:
    When migrating my old user account to Mavericks, I don't wish to migrate the apps, just the user settings and the data. I will make an entire backup of the user directory on a separate drive before I start this process, as well as a Time Machine backup. I then plan to migrate the account settings and data, but manually reinstall the extra apps. The reason for this is I have a lot of third party apps, and some are trials I decided to uninstall, and they all leave junk behind.
    3. If I import the user account settings and data only, what cruft or orphaned files should I be aware of?
    4. Are there options to cherry pick the settings that are migrated?
    5. If I manually copy, for example, the mail folder, iCal or messages folder in my user library, and place it into the appropriate user folder in the new account in a worst case scenario, will there be any drama I should be aware of?
    Lastly, a question of Apple ID's/iCloud:
    6. Before doing this process, should I deauthorise my iTunes account, or will that be fine when migrated anyway?
    7. What will happen with my iPhone when I sync to a fresh install on mavericks, will it attempt to wipe my iPhone, or is that part of the user data that is migrated?
    Thank you for your time and patience reading this!

    ML
    1. I'd go with at least 40 because you need some extra disk space for the computer to work properly. You can install that one partition, load it, and see how much disk space is used and adjust as required. Also boot from it and make sure it runs okay.
    2. Everything but the Apple applications, which you probably won't be able to delete.
    Mavericks
    Almost all applications are stored in the hard drive level Applications folder. Check your user applications folder and if there are no applications, just copy the entire user folder.
    3. Hard to answer. In theory, none.
    4/5. They may not work due to differences between 10.8 and 10.9. You might want to consider using Setup Assistant and restore from Time Machine. Then delete the stuff you don't want.
    6. Shouldn't matter - same computer. I have 2 partitions and both are authorized for iTunes and the App Store.
    7. If you restore from Time Machine, you should be okay.

  • White macbook Lion performance

    I have a White Macbook 2,1, running Lion 10.7.5. I believe its the late 2006 model., 2G RAM. Replaced the original drive with a 500GB, 7200 RPM drive a couple of years ago. The performance is just dreadful. Constant spinning beach balls, delays in keyboard characters. I've noticed by System memory takes up 1.7G of of the 2G of available RAM. Am I correct is assuming that is the problem, and the machine is just not powerful enough to run Lion efficiently? I've run a variety of maintenance programs to clear out junk files, caches, etc, disk permissions. I do have an very large audio library connected through iCloud, but I don't understand why that would be a problem if iTunes isn't running.
    Any thoughts about what might be causing the performance problems, or is it just the age of the computer?

    You might want to open Activity Monitor and under the (Memory) tab check the amount of (Page Outs) to the hard drive....
    The minimum requirement for RAM under Lion is 2GB.....so you will not have much actual RAM to work with for any extra apps.....that is  why I suggest checking the (Page Outs) in Activity Monitor....it would mean that the MacBook is using the hard drive to store commands that would normally come from the RAM and would be much slower....

  • I have an IMAP mailbox that seems to only show mail 7 days old on my iMac running Snow Leopard.However, all old emails that I have not deleted are showing up on my macbook pro running the next OS (Lion?).  How do I get all my old emails back on my iMac?

    I have an IMAP mailbox that seems to only show mail 7 days on my iMac running Snow Leopard.  However, on my MacBook Pro I can see all old mail that I have not deleted.  It is running the next operating system (Lion?).  Does anyone know how I can get all my old mail back on my iMac.  It is my primary computer and I need some of those old messages.  I have tried to rebuild the mailbox but it has not done anything.

    I have tried to rebuild the mailbox to no avail.  The mailbox behavior says:  Drafts (not checked) store draft messages on the server, Notes (checked) show not in Inbox, Sent (checked) Store sent messages on the server Delete sent messages when (option never selected), Junt (not checked) store junk messages on the server Delete junk messages when (option never selected), Trash (checked) moves deleted messages to the Trash mailbox and (checked)  store deleted messages on the server Permanently erase deleted messages when (one month old option selected).
    I have not set up any rules that I know of other than a signature, in the very least I have not changed any.

  • When I mark a mail in the junk folder as 'not junk', is there a way to have it automatically move to the inbox?

    Apple Mail keeps putting good messages into the Junk folder. I mark them as 'not junk', but then they just sit there. It is really tedious to have to move them back to the inbox, and change the colour back to black. Is there any way to do this automatically?
    I originally placed this question on the Snow Leopard group, but since then I have updated to Lion. I was hoping that Lion would have provided a solution, but it seems not. In the Snow Leopard group, somebody posted a script which apparently works in Snow Leopard, but I have no idea if it works in Lion, as there doesn't seem to be any way to load scripts.
    This is the script, anyway.
    It was given to me by <Bernard Hills> but I don't know who wrote it.

    OK, I've discovered how to access the library.
    It's here: http://techheavy.com/2011/07/access-the-user-library-folder-in-lion/
    But I don't really want to try that script in case it screws something up. I know zero about scripting.
