Lion 10.7.3 issues

I started having problems with Reader right after the last update, so I trashed it and tried to re-download it. It has failed five times, I have used different browsers everything. So is Reader now completely broken in Lion? It is no long in the APP store? What is going on? I have use it for my textbooks!

It seems Reader is broken in Lion.  I'm using 10.7.3 and can start Reader and opens documents with it but it freezes immediately.  Can't even scroll through a document.  Then I have to Force Quit in order to close it.
edit:  Just found this and probably the source of problems with Reader.
If the Java Runtime isn't installed, the following issues can occur in Adobe applications:
Features are missing or behave improperly
The software doesn't start
Prompts to install Java Runtime occur
Applications hang or quit

    While we all have MacBooks in this forum most of us don’t run Lion. There's a Lion Support Community where everybody has Lion. You should also post this question there to increase your chances of getting an answer. https://discussions.apple.com/community/mac_os/mac_os_x_v10.7_lion

  • Lion server file sharing issue with windows API read/write ini file (GetPrivateProfileString)

    Hello,
    I try to config lion server as file server for a windows application we use at work. All other computers are windows 7 or XP, lion server is the only mac. I choose lion server because it's size, quality and personal love of apple products.
    10.7.2 lion server's samba file sharing works almost perfectly with all my windows machines, I can copy, delete, modify any text files or office files without any issue, but the most important windows application for my business doesn't work with samba file sharing. After some digging, I found it is because windows program can't read or write INI file stored on lion share. Windows API GetPrivateProfileString always returns empty if the INI file is store on lion share.
    You can download a small application for read/write windows INI file from codeproject.com to test this problem:
    http://www.codeproject.com/KB/files/ini.aspx
    I can open/edit the in file using any text editor without any problem. The only problem is with those windows APIs. ACL is turned on for my lion share and assigned "delete" rights to samba users.
    I install samba3 on the same server; it works perfectly with windows API. My windows program also works. Looks like there is something wrong with lion server's sambax.
    I'd prefer to use built-in samba even I have samba3 working. Built-in samba is very immature right now, but considered how young it is, I will give apple some time to make it mature.
    Does anyone have same issue or knows how to fix it?
    Thanks,
    Michael.

    All the memory is fine. The server rarely if ever goes down when there are only around 10-12 users connected. When there are 20+ users connected and working heavily it goes down often. When I say working heavily, I mean they are transferring huge files to the SAN (100GB+), sometimes 5 at a time per user, and there are a bunch of others who are reading large video files at a minimum of 220MB/sec from the SAN.
    Though this worked on Snow Leopard without any issues, Lion just doesn't seem to be able to handle it. The odd thing is, on Snow Leopard there was only a single 1GB ethernet connection to a NAS system, whereas with Lion we have a much more powerful machine with a 6-port 10GB ethernet card and a 4 lane 8GB fiber card to a true SAN. You would think that the newer scenario with Lion would handle far more users with ease.
    So far, very disappointing with regards to Lion's file serving performance.

  • OS X Lion DMG and Java Issues

    I have a serious issue with my Lion installation.  In the process of upgrading from Snow Leopard through 10.7 to 10.7.1 to 10.7.2 somewhere in there, Java got badly broken.  I tried re-downloading Java for Lion and reinstalling but it gives me an idiot message that my OS version is not compatible.  ***?
    So I open the package with Pacifist and do an install to default location from the top of the package and all the Java stuff works again.  But then within about three days I can no longer open DMG files.  I double click them and nothing happens.  Disk utility won't launch.  If I reinstall the 10.7. combo update, Disk Utility works and DMG files open but if I try to connect to a streaming Java service such as used by Go To Webinar, I never get anywhere.  So I am at the point where I can either work with DMG files OR I can use Go To Webinar but not both.
    This is idiotic to me, but I cannot even begin to figure out why Java gets broken by applying an update and why my ability to work with DMG files keeps going away and if the two are actually related or there is just some weird timing juxtaposition. 
    Anyone who has seen this problem and figured out a solution, please wade in.
    Thanks!
    Ross

    Well, the issue doesn't seem to be in your User since the Combo Update doesn't touch anything in your User Account. This being the case and assuming you have a backup of your account on another disk, I'd do a clean install of Lion. Then in Setup Assistant migrate over all your stuff.

  • Lion 10.7.4 issues with Virtual Machines

    Hi,
    I'm having lot of issues with virtual machines (both Parallels and VMWare)
    since having update to lion 10.7.4.
    I make myself:
    If I switch on Mac OS a run any vitrual machine software
    I can run Windows XP and Ubuntu at same time with no issue and very fluently.
    But, if I switch on Mac OS and start using Eclipse, Safari 5.2 and other production stuff and
    want to use vmware or paralles
    they become unusable even if I quit all the tasks ans "purge" memory.
    (eg: if i click start button on windows I have to wait seconds before the start menu pops up)
    Any Idea?
    I have MacBook Pro 13 Unibody mid 2009 with SSD Drive AND 4GB of RAM
    and I had no such issues with Lion 10.7.3

    As you wrote before, virtual mchines need big chunks of contigous RAM and

    No, it wouldn't. 2.5 GB of free RAM could consist of 5 chunks of 500 MB of contiguous RAM, separated by RAM allocated by other processes.
    Here is a hypothetical memory map. Assume a is application memory, o is operating system memory, and - is free memory.
    boot:           oooo--------------
    run app1:    ooooaao-----------
    run app2:    ooooaaoaaaaaaoo---quit app1:   oooo---aaaaaaoo---
    Maybe there is some issue in the way 10.7.4, in some perticolar situations, handle the process of freeing RAM.
    What you can't accept, and I don't know why, is that before the update to 10.7.4 everithing was fine.
    I don't know why you don't beleve me.
    There is nothing in the 10.7.4 update description that mentions a re-write of the virtual memory system. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5167
    I just worte here to see if someone could give any advice to do further invesigations.
    I know the price of upgrading RAM but I think that this would be a "microsoft like" solution
    and I'm trying to find what service or task or whatever is creating this issue.
    The only thing "Microsoft like" about buying more RAM is the fact that you need it to run your Microsoft operating systems. It has been this way as long as I can remember. I upgraded my MacBook to 4 GB RAM in 2008 just so I could run Windows more easily.
    Perhaps you have your virtual memory settings too high. Depending on what you are doing in the VM, you may not need the default settings. XP will run low-intensity tasks with a 500 MB VM size. It will run just about anything in 1 GB. Linux should run fine in the same range too.

  • Mountain Lion Server PHP Upgrade issue

    I need to upgrade my Server PHP, since my web site needs PHP 5.4 or above to work.
    I have followed the steps from previous discussion
    Updated PHP to 5.4 following steps from here
    Updated bash_profile, httpd.conf, and updated $PATH variables.
    In terminal php version and php path points to correct version /usr/local/php5/
    But phpinfo still points to php 5.3.
    I was able make the update on my local machine running Mountain Lion. The issue occurs only on the Mountain Lion Server.
    It there any other settings that needs to be done to udpate PHP path?

    Thanks for the input. Did you have any issues with running MAMP on server? I was under the impression Server tools, (web, ftp, opendirectory, etc..) are tightly integrated to one another.
    Installing MAMP on a server might be the next option. Did you remove Lion server completely or just the web server part?
    I did test out MAMP on server. It seem to have some database issues and give a blank page when it has to connect with Database. Probably have to work on the db issues, if PHP update is impossible.

  • Lion Macbook Air installation Issues - Won't Install

    I sucessfully installed Lion on my iMac, then I downloaded it with my same user id from my macbook air (1.4ghz). I proceed with the installation, it claims to finish and then reboots. The Lion App store icon then sits on my dock and the computer is still running Snow Leopard at least it seems to be. However, when I go to about this mac it says 10.7.
    This is a mistake since the machine is still physically running snow leopard, there is no mission control, no air drop, etc, AND the lion icon is still in my dock waiting to install!
    I have repeated this process countless times and keep getting the same results.
    Please help!

    did you mean to say 'this problem has been SOLVED' ?
    i'm having the same issue.... and always presumed the downloaded lion install was fine since it does image checking, etc.
    either way.... i'll be giving it another download and try again

  • OSX Mountain Lion post-upgrade Video issues.

    I purchased this MBPRO 13 on Saturday. Upgraded to Mountain Lion this afternoon ... now weirdness has taken over.
    Has anyone see this happen post-upgrade? This happens approx. every 20-30 minutes after starting up. Sure would love to know what this is and a resolution :-/
    I also have a video of the issue here ---> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YDxEYIdlGGU&feature=g-upl

    You have 14 days from receipt to return it for a refund.
    That looks like a Hardware problem to me, unless you have installed a lot of goofy aftermarket stuff.

  • Osx 10.8 mountain lion compatibility and crashing issues

    I upgraded my old mac laptop a special edition 1278 that is aluminum unibody, yes they do exist. It has 2Ghz intel core2duo 8gb ram a 7200rpm hyrid 500gb hard drive on a 13" frame with the now standard one big button touchpad.  I had gone from snow to lion to now mountain lion.
    Well, FIRST WARNING, I ASSUMED Adobe Creative Cloud should work with mountain lion since it was working with lion, WRONG!
    upon upgrading completeing, and trying to launch Adobe Creative Cloud CS6 Dreamweaver,I was informed by Adobe application control that "your computer is not authorized to use adobe creative cloud....can not activate software....you have already reached the maximum activations of two".
    Well one of the activations was this laptop running lion and now since I didn't know to deactivate the software before upgrading I can't deactivate it and then reactivate it under mountain lion.
    The ONLY adobe solution?....get ready for this....Deactivate my subscription killing all computers ability to use the adobe software, ALL PRODUCTS for....get ready for this....24 hours. Then I can reactivate the two computers i want to use the software on.
    Unacceptable solution. especially since further checking on many sites DO NOT LIST CS6 Products to be compatible with mountain lion.
    Secondly, since upgrading to mountain lion and it upgrading xcode and xcode related files....it crashes when trying to run programs/apps during development.
    It doesn't matter how complex or simple they are...they can be lank apple supplied templates. If i click Products->Run a few seconds later xcode crash!
    If you have a fix for either of these issues please drop me a line with useful suggestions I appreciate it.
    and no. let's be clear on this-although it feels this way, my head is not up my....thank you for that comment or suggestion up front
    I am looking for a serious solution.

    I'm on a 2008 Macbook Pro. The initial installation went smoothly for me. I'm not sure where to download the VUSB software online, I believe it downloaded the file when I was using the Connect Cloud setup interface. I clicked on devices, then add device, then usb printer. It should walk you through the steps and download VUSB during that process.

  • Mountain Lion (Mail 6.0) Issue

    I just purchased and installed Mountain Lion.  If I go into Mail after quitting and re-opening it, I sometimes get this tiny screen glitch over the message (mostly when there is a link).  So I'm just assuming it's from Mountain Lion being buggy since I never had a problem with Lion.  I have a MBP 2011.  What do you think?

    For me the problem is reproducible only when the MBP is using the Integrated Graphics 'Intel HD Graphics 3000'. Once I switch to the other graphics controller it goes away.
    I can also more easily reproduce the issue, when a email has a black background.
    I am trying to understand if this is a hardware or a software problem, since Apple Support doesn't know what it is. While I tend to think it is software related, I don't know when it will be solved.

  • After Lion upgrade, having network issues after wake from sleep

    After upgrading to Lion from 10.6.8 on my MacBook Pro (15-inch, Early 2011), I am unable to connect to the Internet after the computer wakes from sleep.  I should rephrase this - I am able to ping IP's and DNS (DNS servers are present) however none of my apps will connect (Safari, iChat, etc) -> they all indicate the Internet is unavailable.  I have two Airport Express's running 7.5.2 extending a WiFi network off an Airport Extreme running 7.5.2.  This issue is specific to waking from sleep.  Any thoughts or suggestions would be appriciated.

    It's definitely linked to Time Machine and backups.
    I think If I put my machine to sleep/close the lid and Time Machine happens to be performing a backup, when I open the lid again, the network connection is lost and I receive a bunch of errors about the backup disk being unavailable. 
    This means that if my mbp isn't in the middle of a backup when I put it to sleep, wifi comes back up without a problem. 

  • Mountain Lion OS X Trackpad issues

    UPDATE ISSUE RESOLVED:
    I found there were extra settings. Apparently when installing mountain lion my three finger gestures were changed to four finger gestures.
    I have downloaded and installed Mountain Lion today and have come across a very annoying issue.
    My three finger swipes to move between full screen programs no longer works.
    I have found several other users with this issue but their issue seems to have been resolved by disabling the two new gestures in "Trackpad" or disabling the "Screensaver". Neither of these temporary resoultions to the issue have fixed it for me.
    And yes I restarted my mac after disabling the
    Tap to click
    Three finger drag
    Magic Trackpad gestures and disabled screensaver.
    I know that this is an issue for several users and Apple should mend this problem at some point, but are there any other temporary measures I can perform to get back the three finger swipe between programs as i use it all the time. (at the moment im using CMD + Tab to get between programs)
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks

    Mt Lion IS the Operating System. It Is the system you are booting into. It is Not an App.
    If you are talking about the Mt Lion installer that got downloaded from the internet then as mende1 pointed out it get Deleted after the install completes.
    Stupid, YES but then we are dealing with Apple here.
