Lion bugs

Hello community,
I've been testing Lion (10.7.1) since it came out and have made the following notes on problems I've encountered along the way:
Occasionally the keyboard stops working. The function keys continue to work (ie the volume brightness etc) however I just can't type anything. This seems to be caused by Mission Control. But funnily enough when I kill the Dock process then the keyboard comes back, until I use spaces / mission control again.
NFS share names are not the name of the directory they are mounted to. They appear as the name of the NFS export which is incorrect.
The AD plugin is unstable - UID & GID's do not seem to map to their corresponding names. So when checking permissions in Terminal you see the UID number rather than the relating name.
The text in a window title randomly goes red.
iTunes crashes - generally on the first time I start it. Especially if my iPhone is connected.
Finder menu bar occasionally goes black.
The screensaver does not unlock. You type the password in but the screensaver stays on. You can still switch between spaces and you can see the screen for a moment however it goes back to the locked screensaver. The only way I managed to get around this one was SSH'ing into the machine and killing the screensaver process.
Microsoft Remote Desktop Connection is not very stable. It often crashes when RDP'ing into a machine, particularly straight after putting the password in.
FileMaker is no longer friendly with NFS mounts. In 10.6 I can open FileMaker databases from an NFS share point, however performing the same task from 10.7, FileMaker tells me it cannot find the database.
Just thought I'd get these comments out into the public domain. I'm sure there are other users experiencing similar issues.
Regards,
Luke

I can't comment on the other items, but note that these things are not bugs... these are not normal things that everyone using Lion is seeing. I'd advise you to try some of the troubleshooting tips in the second half of Understanding upgrade nightmares*.

Lion Bug List: How come Lion is loaded with bugs?

Here is my shortened list:
Full-screen apps (in full screen mode):
iTunes:
When retrieving the top bar, sometimes only the icons on the right (clock etc.) is shown, and with no gray background.
Safari:
When retrieving the top bar, it often hangs before going back. The buttons do not always respond when passing the cursor over them (cursor changing for no particular reason between arrow and hand).
More annoying is the bug related to Top Sites. Sometimes when entering/exiting Top Sites the whole page is pushed either down or up and it gets stuck there. When pushed down the edit button on Top Site disappears.
Other:
Also the dock sometimes gets stuck when retrieving the it form the bottom or when just switching to a app in full screen mode.
I have had some issues with iPhoto where the page/layout is pushed/dragged and the the top bar is shown.
And of course: Logic Pro does not work properly in full screen mode. When moving to a desktop via Mission Control, Logic moves to that desktop and leaves a blank (gray) full screen window with the Logic icon on. Probable a Logic update is required.
Lauch Pad:
Why do the icons change places after I have put them where I want? Duplicates seems also to be handled slow still, but better than before the last Lion update.
Other:
Sometimes when switching to an app (not full screen) such as Pages, the top left menu bar does not change from its previous state (for instance from Finder to Pages).
In Safari the quit mark (x) in tabs that is supposed to show up when passing the cursor over it, does not always do that. Also the buttons do not always respond when passing the cursor over them.

The list can go on and on for any newly developed/released software or product of the known defects. Apple is, I'm sure, still workign out the kinks in this system as would any other company. Take for example the first edition of a car. The second generation of that particular model is an improved version of the first. To work out the kinks they need to test out the first one to figure out what's wrong.
To help you solve your issues, I would recomend checking software update weekly for any available updates that may sovle your issues.
I know I didn't directly solve your problem but I figured I would lend a little hand on the explenation if you wanted.

Mac OS X Lion bugs

When is Apple going to realase an update to fix the uncountable bugs in Mac OS X Lion 10.7.1? So far I have found the following:
1. In Preview, when visualizing a PDF document in "Table of contents" mode, Preview changes the view mode to "Zoom to Fit" and then one no longer can zoom in. Pressing Command+= will not zoom in. Going to "View > Zoom In" has no effect. The "Zoom out" works fine.
2. When viewing more than one pdf document in Preview with "Table of contents" mode, it is impossible to select one of the documents to be sent to print. Having multiple documents open and then using the menu File>Print will only print all documents together. If you have one particular document being displayed in Preview, with multiple documents open, selecting menu File>Print or pressing Command+P will always show you a window with all the documents to be printed.
3. Safari disables an extension when there is an update.
4. When an email server goes offline, Mail asks for a password.
5. When an email server goes offline, Mail keeps asking for a password indefintely until the user press "Cancel". After that, Mail stops from checking emails on that account forever. Pressing the toolbar button "Check email [in all accounts]" does nothing, even though the user may believe that Mail has checked the account and found no new emails. One is then forced to display the "Mailboxes" side bar, which now will show the account that went offline with a "disconnected" icon, select the account with the issue then open the pop up menu and select "Get new mail from [account]". This is the only way Mail will continue to check for email acounts after issue 4.
These were all in Mac OS X Lion 10.7.0 as well.

OSX LION BUGS I HAVE NOTICED

Hi everybody!
Since Lion is out for some time already and all upgrades so far did not fix any of the bugs I am having I decided to make a list of things that are REALLY bothering me.
1.) QUICKLOOK -> when viewing a PDF and pressing the full screen button, the document is alligned vertically. It is impossible to see anything on my MacBook pro 13'' !!! Please let the user choose which way the PDF is going to stretch or just put back horizontal stretch as it was in OSX Snow Leopard.
2.) APP SWITCHER -> Ok this is really messed up.
First, if you cannot put the four finger swipe back then atleast please make a shortcut to just open the app switcher. CMD+TAB doesn't do the job. If pressed and not released it goes all the way to the last app in the switcher which is really annoying.
Second, this is a bit hard to explain. But none the less I will try.
I have some apps that are visible on all spaces. So, when using CMD+TAB to switch from an app open in space 1 to another app open in space 2, the app i switched to is behind all the apps that are assigned to all spaces. This is completely random. Sometimes it works as it should, other times there is a bunch of windows on top of the app that is active.
3.) GAP between spaces in mission control. PLEASE remove it!!!! If you have a fullscreen movie running on monitor 1, and that movie is assigned to all spaces, there is a flickering when switching between spaces. Also, there is some strange fade in effect for icons and windows when switching from space to space. PLEASE REMOVE IT. Its useless and lots of times it fails to fade the open windows or icons so you have to switch to that space once again just to meke it work.
Please Apple take a look at this. And PLEASE fix it!!!

Apple does not read or respond to any threads in the user forums. I would recommend that you copy and paste everything you typed above and submit it to their OSX Feedback : http://www.apple.com/feedback/macosx.html

Another Mountain Lion bug

Hi all.
I have discovered another bug in Mountain Lion.
I have Adobe Creative Suite 6 Installed (including InDesign CS6) and have had to also install my old InDesign CS4 to work with clients that use it.
I have chosen an InDesign document that was created in CS4 (and hasn't been opened in CS6) and right clicked - 'Get Info'
Changed the 'Open With' default from CS6 to CS4.
So far so good.
I then clicked "Change All", I get the confirmation message box, and as soon as I click "Yes, please change All to CS4" It immediately changes the default setting back to CS6.
If I change the "Open with" default for a file to CS4, and leave it at that, it works fine for that file,
but the "Change All" function seems to be broken.
The Change All function seems to work fine on Leopard and Snow Leopard. I haven't tried Lion, but I suspect that is where the trouble starts. (It has with other bugs.).
Any light that any of you could shed on this, or even fixes involving the Terminal and the Unix commands, would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks for your time.
Also this forum has a problem with the question form.
below it has asked me for my product - "Macbook Pro"
Then Operating System - and it gives me a choice of iOS from 4 to 7
As far as I know, Apple hasn't inflicted mobile phone operating systems on computers. yet.
perish the thought.

Change All works quite well for me for every version of Mountain Lion and on several different computers. It's not an OS X problem. You have some other problem such as possible file permissions' issues. You might try repairing ACLs and permissions in your Home folder by using the "resetpassword" Terminal command that you may access via the Recovery HD. You will not be resetting passwords, btw.
Reset User Permissions and ACLs in Lion/Mountain Lion
Boot to the Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
From the Utilities menu select Terminal. At the Terminal prompt enter: resetpassword. Press RETURN. When the window opens select your startup drive where it says "Select the volume containing the user account:" At the bottom of the window you will see, "Reset Home folder permissions and ACLs." Click on the Reset button.

Safari or Mtn. Lion Bug re: QT?

Since downloading Mountain Lion (10.8.2), Safari won't play QT (10.2). I've tried this on several machines, which leads me to think it's a broader issue. One Apple technician told me there were unsolved bugs related to QT and Lion, and ownder if some of those bugs remain unsolved with this new release.
Not sure what to make of this, since I find it hard to imagine Apple would sustain an issue that renders useless one of its basic programs.
Is anyone experiencing this?

Current official Lion bug list URL?

I am looking to upgrade to Lion, but only when I can determine that the bugs that will affect me most have been eliminated. Is there any web site (at Apple or elsewhere) that maintains a current bug list for Lion? I don't mean an aggregator of unsubstantiated complaints from users, but a list of replicated bugs. I looked on Apple's Support option and could find nothing there. A Google search did not turn up anything either.

Doesn't exist. Don't waste your time looking.

Lion - Changing Custom Website File Location - Potential Lion Bug

I had an interesting problem while setting up and transferring my custom website from a Windows 2003 server to my new Mac Mini 2011 Lion server. I was able to get the site transferred and working correctly. Took a bit of manipulating /etc/apache2...* files but good to go. Now for the interesting part.
I decided to RAID 1 my two intertnal drives so I used SuperDuper (not affiliated with them ... use it if you want) and cloned my boot partition to a MyBook drive I had laying around, rebooted, Raided and cloned back. All good there. For some reason I had the bright idea to move my custom web site files to the MyBook. Did that and all good.
I later came to my senses and tried to move the custom site files back to the RAID 1 partition. Could not do it. Neither through the Server.app interface or via manual entry of /etc/apache2...* files. The solution appears to be due to a potential bug in Lion and Lion Server.app. I found that under directory /etc/apache2/extra the file httpd-vhosts.conf was not being updated by Server.app. Once I changed the file location there all is well.
Hope this helps any of you with the same problem.

Hello, James here.
The reason why you can't find the "System Sounds" folder is because Apple have hidden it in a slightly different location in OS X Lion 10.7.x
To get to the directory with the "Volume Mount" file you need to go to...
Macintosh HD > System > Library > Components > CoreAudio (right-click and show package contents) > Contents > SharedSupport > System Sounds > system
Hope this helped!

Mail 6.0 (Mountain Lion) Bug

I upgraded to Mountain Lion yesterday and I've noticed that sometimes when I go into Mail, there seems to be a graphics glitch and then goes away. Today, I went to Apple and they told me its most likely a bug they'll have to patch since it's the first version of ML. I have a picture to show you. It's mostly when I open mail with a message from something that has links. They sent it to the engineers to see what's wrong. My hardware diagnostic came back fine too. Should I be worried?

No, you're not alone. I am seeing it in Mail, too. I started seeing this issue in 10.8 and now running 10.8.1. However, some insight.....
If you are running a Dual GPU MBP like I am, it seems to happen whenever the integrated GPU (Intel) is being used; if I am on the discrete GPU (AMD Radeon), I do not see it.
My guess is this will be fixed in the next update (ie. 10.8.2) but in the meantime, those affected should submit feedback directly to Apple about it: http://www.apple.com/feedback/

Mountain Lion Bug? Notifications disrupt bluetooth audio

I just noticed what might be a minor bug in Mountain Lion.

As an update, I tried switching the main display to the MBP. Nothing changed.
However, I changed the rotation to 90 degrees and everything is back to Normal! Aside from the fact that I'm looking a 24" screen in the vertical position.

Following postings helps so solve my problem.
1.
It seems launching again
/System/Library/CoreServices/Language Chooser.app
could help solving this problem.
Give it a try
2.
Don't you just have to active the 24hour format to your whole mac? (You probably also have the 12 hour clock AM/PM in iCal). To do this, simply follow these steps:
-> System Preferences
-> Language & Text
-> Region
-> Chose Germany again and close window.
Thanks for great help in community.

Mountain Lion bug: Switching between virtual desktops not possible when using external screen only.

I think I have found a bug. I upgraded to Mountain Lion last week, 2 days after ML became available. My laptop is a Macbook Pro from November 2011. I ran Lion before and I did an upgrade on my laptop (not reinstall, but upgrade).
I have an external HP screen (24 inch) connected using DVI (standard connection). I also have an external Apple keyboard (bluetooth) and the external trackpad (bluetooth). I concider myself as a power user with long experience. I started using multiple desktops in Snow Leopard, and really liked the "4 finger swipe up" that came in Lion. By swiping 4 fingers up on the trackpad, I can see all "virtual desktops" on the top of the screen and select or more applications to the different screens.
This function does still work, but when I put the Macbook pro in "clamshell mode" (meaning the lid is locked and I am ONLY using the external screen), then this does not work. When I do the gesture (4 finger swipe up), the virtual desktops on top of the screen are not shown.
But if I open the Mac and then having 2 active screens, both the internal LCD on the Macbook Pro and the external HP screen, it works again. It does not matter which screen the "Finder many" is active on.
Picture below show how it is supposed to work. And it still works if no external screen is connected or if the external screen connected but the lid on the Mac is still open (not clamshell mode).
This is how it looks on the external screen when I do the "4 finger swipe up" and the Macbook Pro is in clamshell mode (lid down). Please also note how the background image is not minimized in the same way as before.
Have any other experienced the same problem ? Where do I report this to Apple ? Any e-mail or WEB pages where I can report bugs ?

As an update, I tried switching the main display to the MBP. Nothing changed.
However, I changed the rotation to 90 degrees and everything is back to Normal! Aside from the fact that I'm looking a 24" screen in the vertical position.

Is Adobe planning on fixing any of the LION bugs with CS5?

I've been reading a lot about these bugs with Adobe CS5 applications and LION (here's some> http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/905/cpsid_90508.html). A friend had a ton of problems and ended up sending her laptop back because of them (she wasnt able to downgrade to Snow Leopard over Lion with that particular laptop). I just ordered a new imac, and think I'm going to be using my old one for a while if there are all these bugs. I primarily use my mac for Photoshop, Illustrator and InDesign, and if they are going to be problematic that is going to be a big drawback for me. I talked to an employee at Apple this weekend, and he said Adobe is always behind the ball with getting their software up to speed with new operating systems. Which didnt make me feel anybetter. Lion's been out for a while now, and I assume Adobe received the OS way before it was released to the public in order for them to upgrade their apps to make them compatible. Does anyone know what the status is on when the next big Adobe update is going to happen to address these issues?

As to bug fixes, you'd have to ask Adobe that question. I would presume they'll fix at least some of the issues before the next major release, but what specifically they'll do, only Adobe could tell you. Note, though, that most of the issues Adobe publicly acknowledges are pretty minor and/or are present in earlier versions of the CS suite, not 5.5.

Google Chrome & Lion bug keeps switching app window focus

Since installing Google Chrome, when I type something into the url bar, it immediately switches the Chrome window to the bottom most of all application windows that are open. Very annoying.
For example, if I have 5 app windows open and then in Chrome, start typing in the URL bar, the Chrome window is pushed to the back of all windows. What's weird is although the window is moved to the lowest layer of visibility, as I continue typing, it still is typing in Chome. So no window focus but still abe to type in it.
A very weird bug but also makes Google Chrome almost unusable in Lion. Shame.

I have the same thing. However it is not just Chrome. It often happens when typing in Outlook or Word. It does not happen every time and a reboot often solves the problem. Has anyone else experienced this and - more importantly - found a solution?
I am using an iMac and the only change since upgrading to Lion is that I followed a workaround for NAS access listed at: http://www.alexanderwilde.com/2011/04/os-x-lion-connection-error-with-afp-and-wo rkaround/
