Lion feature I wish to have in SL: auto reboot after KP
Hi all,
Is there any way to make SL auto restart like in Lion if it kernel panics?
There's no auto-restart from a KP in either SL or Lion. See
What is a kernel panic,
Technical Note TN2063: Understanding and Debugging Kernel Panics,

Have to wait to reboot after upgrade but want the popup reminder to stop
I got the latest update from Firefox automatically so I'm updated. Now I keep getting the darn popup that says "Your computer must be rebooted to complete blah blah blah" I'm in the middle of a UI project and can't reboot but I want the popup reminder to stop popping up because I'm in the middle of gui testing and its' messing with my numbers.
How do I make the reboot reminder to stop?
Thanks,
-Jacquehi jacqueweddle, this doesn't look normal - maybe this is something that can be addressed by a clean reinstall:
# download the full firefox installer from https://www.mozilla.org/firefox/all/
# uninstall firefox from the windows control panel (this won't affect your custom settings like bookmarks, passwords, extensions that are stored in your profile)
# afterwards go to the firefox program folder, which is usually located at ''C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox'', and delete it manually if there are any remains in it.
# finally reinstall the browser with the setup file you have downloaded initially... -
Can you go back to lion if you have already gone to Mountain Lion? I wish I had the old OS back.
Can you go back to lion if you have already gone to Mountain Lion? I wish I had the old OS back.
Try this:
Reinstalling Lion/Mountain Lion Without Erasing the Drive
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.
Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the main menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu.
Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion: Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion and click on the Continue button.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless. -
Can I use iWork '09 on Lion without using new Lion features?
I do not wish to use the new features in Lion, primarily autosave, with iWork, at least initially. In other words have iWork act as it would in S.L. However, I need to purchase iWork in order to continue using a bunch of Appleworks spreadsheets. I am using a new MBP with OS 10.7.1. My plan is to purchase the hard copy iWork '09 from the Apple Store (the AppStore download versions have already been updated). This CD should be some version of 9.0 as they have not put 9.1 on the CD. My idea is to just not let the modules (Numbers, Pages, etc.) get updated until I am ready. My question is -- will Numbers and Pages work properly on Lion without using the final update to the new Lion Features, and which updates to Numbers and Pages should I avoid?
Any help is appreciated.Sjazbec wrote:
Resume can be disabled systemwide in Systemsettings, general section.
Alas, it's reactivated when we shutdown if we don't take care to uncheck the dedicated box.
More, if we ask to restart on an other device, we have no checkbox available to disable Resume.
Happily, it seems that pressing option during the shutdown process disable the beast.

Lion Server: All network users have disappeared
Hi,
A search through the forums and kbase didn't give me anything that mapped well to my problem. Here's the situation:
Specs:
Mac Pro (2008) 6GB RAM, SSD boot with space available, OS X Lion (latest) with Server.app
Services:
File Sharing
Users: less than 15—accounts only used for file server access.
This is the only server on the local network, all network routing is taken care of by a Meraki router.
I went to add a new user to our fileserver, and was unable to connect to the server over Apple Remote Desktop. At the time, file sharing from the server (I *believe*) was still working. I logged in with the file server's local admin account via SSH and tried to use Kickstart to get ARD running again—something I'm well versed in. The script ran as usual, but ARD could still not connect. So, as everyone was in a meeting, I tried to use `shutdown` to reboot the fileserver from the CLI, something I've also done in the past (but not frequently). Usually that takes about a minute to work, and then my shell disconnects—but after 5 minutes, the Mac had not rebooted.
At that point, I decided to walk to the server and manually force it down by holding the power button in. That powered off the Mac, and 30 seconds later, I booted it up.
Back on my Mac via ARD, I was able to remotely control it and got to the Fileserver's log in screen, which featured a red dot in the use field I'd never seen before. It's tool tip read "network users are currently unavailable" (paraphrased, perhaps). I logged in with the Fileserver's local admin user (as usual) and launched the Server.app, only to find that in the `Users` section, there were no users listed, and the plus and minus buttons were greyed out.
I tried rebooting but got the same results. I then repaired permissions and verified the boot drive. Lots of permissions repairs (as usual) but nothing improved. Another reboot after the permission repair and disk repair, just for safety's sakes… and as you can guess by me posting here… no improvement.
I'm not heavily versed in Server. I'm not even sure if those users are stored in a database, and where that DB would live. Does server make dumps or backups of the users on its own? Should I have been? Is this LDAP? Anyone have some next steps I can try? What info would be useful?
My first goal would be to recover a damaged DB. I only have just under 15 users, so re-creation isn't difficult. But, under the department of "I don't know a ton about Lion Server" I don't know if network users act like OS X users… where you could create a new user with the same username, but if their UID is different, then they won't have access to their owned files on the fileserver… is Server that exacting? Does it care who owns the file?
Thanks in advance for any ideas, or resources you can point me to!It gets far weirder……
Now no one, myself included can log in.
Checking the logs, which I'll try to attach a small sample of here (Dropbox link below since you can only attach images here), I see repeated instance of both `opendirectoryd` crashing and respawning, and of server manager unable to authenticate:

I have only an I-Mac (Mac OS c (10.5.8), & enjoy all its features. I also have a Mail account; what do I have to do to continue its operation. I'm also concerned if I will lose all my photos in IPhoto. Am I correct to assume ICloud is only necessary if I had multiple tools of Apple products? Since I only have the I-Mac, do I have to go to ICloud? Louise W.
Your .mac Mail account will continue to operate normally as long as you access the account from the Mac's Mail program. Read this:
What if I just want to keep using my email on all my devices?
As of May 1, you can choose to keep using your mail after MobileMe ends, even on devices that don’t meet the iCloud system requirements. Just go to me.com/move and select the option to keep using your email after MobileMe ends. Once you have completed this short process, your mail will continue to work on devices that don’t meet the iCloud requirements after MobileMe ends on June 30th, 2012.
iCloud is a collection of features that allows you to sync Safari bookmarks, Calendar items, Contacts, and iWork documents (Pages, Numbers) among multiple devices, among other things. Your photos in iPhoto will not be affected.
iCloud is most valuable for people with iOS devices and Macs and requires OS X 10.7 "Lion".

Is there an application like "snag it", which is part of the Microsoft Office suite for mac? Does it come with the Mountain Lion OS, or do I have to buy it separately? If it is a separate purchse, what would you recommend?
Built-in to OS X is the ability to capture an entire screen or selected portions. Snaps are saved to the Desktop by default:
COMMAND-SPACE-3 snaps the entire screen.
COMMAND-SPACE-4 lets you select a portion of the screen to snap.
In your Utilities folder is a utility called Grab that provides similar functionality and more.
Then there are dozens of third-party solutions such as SnapNDrag and SnapzProX. You will find them and others at MacUpdate or CNET Downloads. Most have trial versions or trial times so you can test them out. -
I've chosen "never" on my screen saver however the screen saver still comes on and there is no way for me to change it, how do i change it? I don't wish to have a screen saver on when I'm watching TV or movies on my laptop.
Step one is to log into a newly created admin user account and see if the problem persists. Also,

We share Itunes acct. We wish to have single acct.s for each iphone plz help
There is no way to split or merge Apple ID's.
That being said, it is possible to have content from multiple ID's on a single device.
Always use seperate ID's for iMessage unless you want to get each others iMessages.
You can use the same Apple ID for iCloud which will allow for downloading automatically the content wirelessly on the device. This may be annoying though if you turn on automatic syncing of apps.
The best solution is to use a shared library in iTunes and sync the content you desire from the computer. Then use a single but seperate Apple ID on each device.

I am using a new imac with osx lion 10.7.5 and have just bought Apple iLife 11 on dvd so that I can install iWeb and iDVD, as macs no longer ship with these apps. When I click on install iLife I get a message saying "iLife.kpg was signed with an invalid certificate.
Next problem is that when moving through the installer and get to custom install, as I only want to install iDVD and iWeb, I am presented with the option to install iDVD, Sounds & Jingles and iWeb, but not sure what is going on with the other 3 options iLife Support etc, they seem to be greyed out but still look like they may install over the top of the newer versions already on my imac. Is it ok for me to just go ahead and hit install? Or do I have a problem?Yep, just install iDVD (plus sounds and jingles) and iWeb if you want it (but note that iWeb apparently won't work if you upgrade to Mountain Lion).
Then use Software Update to get any late iDVD updates. -

hi all. i just downloaded mountain lion and it seems to have added an old password for admin at the start up, the old password was removed so all i had to do was press enter and off i go, i cant remember it, what to do now??
Eli,
You can reset a Password (lost/forgotten) set on your Mac using 'Reset Password Utility' available with OS X Utilities tool. With OS X Mountain Lion, OS X Utilities tool can be generally found on a local hidden Recovery HD Partition if your Mac has one.
To check If your Mac has got a local hidden Recovery HD Partition, start your Mac holding COMMAND + R buttons. If you hold the keys pressed enough and there is a local Recovery HD Partition on your Mac, you will be presented with OS X Utilities window.
Click the 'Tool' menu item and choose 'Reset password'. Terminal window appears. Type 'resetpassword' into it and press 'Enter'. Reset Password window appears with User Account Names available on your Start-up Volume. Select the User Account Name and rest is simple to follow.
One of the advantages of this method is that it does not require any Authorization method such as administrative authentication to reset a password.
NOTE: If your Mac does not have a local hidden Recovery Partition on its system disk, you can create one using Disk Assistant application available from Apple. Search for the Disk Assistant in the support area. -
After a month some good some bad. BB really messed up on some basic features we used to have
I've been a BB user since they were Blueberry's. I have to say the Q10 after a month of using it is seriously deficient in features compared to my Tour. I thought I was getting the best of the Tour but now with a decent sized screen. Boy was I wrong. So here's my assessment from a road warrior that uses his machine to take care of emails, contacts and access to hotel and airline websites. I don't play games, watch movies or use it as a pacifier like so many do.
1.) Link - Doesn't work on my system. BB support tried and tried but couldn't get it to work on my Lenovo/Windows 7. So I have no easy way to synch Outlook contacts, calendar etc... I think BB Desktop was a far superior interface as was BIS for setting email. I don't know why they had to go backwards on this and not transport the key parts into the new OS interface. It's only programmer/developer time to make it happen.
2.) Not ringing when holstered? C'mon that's a HUGE oversight. I'm a business man in constant travel meetings around the world. I always had the Tour set to vibrate in holster and ring out of it. Now I have to shut the Q10 off or fiddle through a bunch of screen taps. The not ring in holster setting is key for me. Having someone's phone go off (especially mine) in a meeting with me is a big no no. I hope that they can add this feature back in.
3.) Battery Life - Great as expected with a BB
4.) MP3 Player - Looks like I'll have to keep keeping track of another device to listen to my MP3's. Really, what's it take to have high quality MP3 audio?
5.) Screen and ergonomics - Awesome human interface engineering. Too bad the features and supporting expectations are still weak sauce.
6.) Websites Access - Fast 4G, nice screen=Happy with improvement over 3G small screen Tour
7.) Call quality - Great
8.) Basic Operating descriptions - Maybe it's me but I couldn't locate how to make the center button between the volume rockers into a programmable hot key. I'd like that to be the Voice control so I can use it to initiate voice commands. There was no manual in the box and no instructions on where to go to get the user guide. I found the guide via a link on this site.
Bottom line is that I'm going to keep it and hope that Blackberry actually reads some of these as they have no way to get feedback from their users. This is a basic flaw as well. I make my business better by listening to my customers and making my best effort to meet their expectations. It seems BB has gone the "Good enough" route. Maybe it's still early and there's hope.... That's my story and I'm sticking to it (for at least another 2 years).S, Interesting analysis!
I am a user very similar to you. Fortunately for me, I have hit none of the snags you describe and don't care too much about the drawbacks you cite. Whew!...guess I was lucky!
I am enamored with the Q10 because of the positives that you mention as well as numerous others that exist with the Q10.

i need the os x mavericks download, im on mountain lion, and i wish to obtain mavericks on my computer not yosemite
You will need to contact Apple, try iTunes Support. Mavericks was pulled from the MAS when Yosemite was released and the only possible way to get it is by contacting Apple directly.
good luck

Since my last update for Mac OS X Lion 10.7.5 I have been unable to print to either my HP or Lexmark printers! Everything is connected but I get an "idle" message in the queue. I have "Reset printer system" and re-added these printers. No luck. Help?
Hello,
It isn't the fw in Network you want o use or look at, that's for something completely different.
My first suspect is the Power Adapter on the LaCie has gone.
At the Apple Icon at top left>About this Mac, then click on More Info, then click on Hardware>Firewire, what is listed there?
Reset the Firewire bus
If your Firewire or USB isn't recognizing any device. A solution which has worked for some whose hard drive became invisible in 10.4 was simply to follow these four steps to reset the Firewire/USB bus:
1. Shut the machine down.
2. UNPLUG the power lead to the computer and any firewire/USB drive or devices.
3. leave it for 10 minutes.
4. Connect back up and reboot.
