Just downloaded Lion to my iMac, cant exit Safari since.

Lion is working good so far but vant seem to exit Safari, wondering if this is normal as my first reaction was a virus holding my connection.

Don't turn off the computer. CTRL- or RIGHT-click on Safari's Dock icon and select Force Quit from the context menu. If that doesn't kill Safari then:
Open Activity Monitor in the Utilities folder. Select All Processes from the Processes dropdown menu. Click twice on the CPU% column header to display in descending order. Select Safari's item in the processes list then click on the Quit icon in the toolbar. Click on the Force Quit button.
Navigate in the Finder to the /Home/Library/Caches/ folder and delete the two folders with com.apple.safari in their names. Re-open Safari and see if that now fixes the problem.

I just downloaded Lion on my iMac. I want to make a copy on a USB for my MacBook. Lion does not show up in my Applications. Where do I find it?

Download it again, don't install again and the file (Lion Installer.app) will be in your applications folder.
It is deleted after installation, that's why it can't be found.

I just downloaded Lion. Now when I open Safari, it automatically opens to the last page visited. How do I reset it to open to a blank page as it did previously?

Dealing With The Resume Feature of Lion
Managing Mac OS X Lion's application resume feature.
If you shutdown your computer you should get a dialog asking if you want applications to resume on the next startup. Simply uncheck the box to prevent that from occurring. Open General preferences and uncheck the option to Restore windows when quitting and re-opening apps. You can also install a third-party utility to control resume features on individual applications: RestoreMeNot or Application State Cleaner.
It is possible to completely stop the Resume feature although I'm unconvinced that it is that annoying. Nevertheless see the following:
If you have not yet done so you must first make your /Home/Library/ folder visible. Open the Terminal application in the Utilities folder. At the prompt paste the following command line:
chflags nohidden ~/Library
Press RETURN. Quit the Terminal application.
In the Finder navigate to the /Home/Library/Saved Application State/ folder. Delete the contents of the folder. Back up to the /Home/Library/ folder. Select the Saved Application State folder. Press COMMAND-I to open the Get Info window. In the Sharing and Permissions panel at the bottom click on the lock icon and authenticate. Set each of the listed entries to Read Only. Close the Get Info window.
Quit all open programs except the Finder (this is very important.) Next, navigate to the /Home/Library/Preferences/ByHost/ folder. Look for a .plist file with "com.apple.loginwindow." in the file name followed by some numbers in hexadecimal. Select the file. Press COMMAND-I to open the Get Info window and in the Sharing and Permissions panel click on the lock icon and authenticate. Set each of the listed entries to Read Only. Close the Get Info window. If you also find a file with the same filename but with a last extension of ".lockfile," then you should delete it.
The above should eliminate the Resume feature system-wide. Note that any future system updates or upgrades will likely undo these changes. You will then need to repeat this procedure assuming there are no major changes in OS X related to it.

Just loaded Lion on my iMac 2 days ago. The whole computer is on valium now. iTunes won't work right. Downloads fail. I AM SO FRUSTRATED I COULD CRY. I hate this.

I just loaded Lion on our iMac 2 days ago and it was the worst thing I have ever done.
How do I uninstall or remove it and go back to Snow Leopard?
I can't get any help right now due to time zones. I have an Apple Care account that isn't doing me any good.
I HATE LION.
iTunes keeps timing out on an update download stating a 685MB download will take 7 hours.
EVERYTHING is slow slow slow like a pc.
I hate this thing.
How do I get rid of Lion and go back to Snow Leopard.
I don't even care about the $29.95, just give me back my old computer!!

This is perfectly understandable. Please ignore the users that try to convince you that Lion is good. It isn't as of 10.7.1 . For production work I highly recommend using Snow until Lion gets its major bugfix update which is not on the horizon as far as "End Users" can foresee. Dev-talk is not allowed here, well they all swear 10.7.2 will do the wonders.. anyhow.
If your Mac was shipped with Snow preinstalled, then you must have either a Restore DVD or a USB thumbdrive. Apple delivered the DVD with all optical-drive equipped macs and the usb for the MacBookAir etc, that don't have a drive.
The procedure would be in all cases to boot the Mac from that recovery medium, thus landing inside Snow's installer which would give you the option to launch disk utility, erase the partition and install Snow onto it .
Your personal data needs to be backed up before , and I do not recommend using Lion's timemachine for that but just copy the complete User Profile Folder with your name to a external drive for example. This will then include your documents // pictures // itunes media // library and so on. All that can be copied back to the same folder names in Snow .

Just downloaded Lion and now iMovie won't respond when I try to open it. Even tried deleting the program (since it was an older version) and bought it new from the app store, but still won't respond.

Thanks for this mha007 - I can now open FF with a new profile. Can I copy my settings from the old profile or will this bring over the same problem, maybe a corrupt file. If it would bring the same problem, is there any way I can check which file is corrupt, apart from taking them over one by one?

I have just downloaded Lion and my AverTv Molar will not work, just comes up can not find device can anybody help please

Hi, I have just downloaded Lion, and my AverTV Volar M will not work, just come up can not find device can anybody help please.

Contact the manufacturer's tech support for help. Most likely it needs a compatible driver.

I downloaded lion on my imac and new icons are not in doc, help!

I downloaded Lion on my imac and nothing is new, there is no new icons in my doc. No launchpad etc.

The installer should have put an icon into the Dock and the Install Mac OS X Lion.app into /Applications. Save a copy somewhere else so you don't have to download it again, then run the Install Mac OS X Lion.app. The installation is a two-step process.

I just downloaded Lion, why can't I open Word?

If they are all PPC-only applications, then yes. CS2 is incompatible with Intel machines. Not knowing how old your iMovie version is, but if it goes back to the same time period then it won't work either until you upgrade all the old software to Intel or Universal binaries from the respective developers.
You can revert back as follows. Erase the drive and restore your Snow Leopard backup or:
Downgrade Lion to Snow Leopard
1. Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer Disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu.
2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the drive in DU's status area. If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing. SMART info will not be reported on external drives. Otherwise, click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
4. Quit DU and return to the installer. Install Snow Leopard.
This will erase the whole drive so be sure to backup your files if you don't have a backup already. If you have performed a TM backup using Lion be aware that you cannot restore from that backup in Snow Leopard (see below.) I suggest you make a separate backup using Carbon Copy Cloner 3.4.1.
If you have Snow Leopard Time Machine backups, do a full system restore per #14 in Time Machine - Frequently Asked Questions. If you have subsequent backups from Lion, you can restore newer items selectively, via the "Star Wars" display, per #15 there, but be careful; some Snow Leopard apps may not work with the Lion files.

I just downloaded Lion. I noticed on the mail app that there is no down arrow on the righthand slider? The slider bar is way too sensitive.

Hi Anne,
Sad but true, no more scroll arrows anywhere... why? Because if you can't use something easily on an iPhone it's gone from iOS7

Hi, I have just downloaded lion and my Photoshop CS is not supported.....why why why. This update will cost me $500 ! Totally useless update

I have just downloaded LION as an update and it is OK, not great but OK. However I am furious because it does not support Photoshop CS for Mac! Great so this update is now going to cost me 500 dollars for a new Photoshop. Well done Apple why is this not supported and why should I buy more software. THIS IS BAD BAD BAD!. Don't update to Lion until you check your other software will run! Does anyone know how to revert back to Snow Leopard or get your money back from Apple.

First off, learn how you must be prepared for Lion before installing:
https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-2465
Next consider one of three courses:
1. If most of your software is supported, and you don't presently have a backup of your older system, get an external hard drive larger than your current,
partition it for enough space for Snow Leopard and your present Lion installation on your hard drive allowing for at least 15% of each partition to have free space after cloning Lion and installing Snow Leopard and your Snow Leopard only compatible applications.
2. If very little of your software is supported, and you don't presently have a backup, get an external hard drive, Install Snow Leoaprd on it, and recover your data on it after using the Migration Assistant to import the data from the Lion on the internal that is compatible with Snow Leopard, and the install applications from your CDs. Once you have it working on your external hard drive, clone it back to your internal, and get a refund from the App Store:
http://www.apple.com/support/mac/app-store/contact.html?form=account
3. If you have a backup from before installing Snow Leopard, just erase and install Snow Leopard, and contact the App Store support for a refund.

Good luck!

I just downloaded Lion and now my computer just shuts down for no reason. What is its problem?

I recently made the same mistake. The thing to do is download the new Quicken Essentials for MAC. After you install the new version follow the instructions on how to transfer your old files. There is a way, it just takes a little time and, if I remember correctly, it takes the info from your quicken backup files. Hopefully you had auto back up on and your files are intact. I didn't and reconstruction was a bear but entirely possible. The new Quicken is quite different but seems to work quite well. Good luck.

Look in the Dock or the Applications folder for an installer for Lion. Then run it.

I downloaded Lion on my iMac (i7 mid 2010) and my Apple applications show up in the first Launchpad screens in two folders labeled as "Utilities". What's up? How can I correct this? At first, I didn't think the applications were there.

Click the Utilities icon/folder to see the contents and then drag the items out of the folder upwards onto the Desktop and they will be removed from the folder.
