Lion is causing me grief!

I've had nothing but trouble since going from 10.6.7 to Lion. Every worked smooth in Snow but now I'm pulling my hair out with Iion. Like for no reason only my iP4 can access my two AirPort express's, Snow had no trouble with that and freeze ups I've never seen so much freeze ups on a Mac thanks to Lion.
I don't know about you but I can't put up with Lion any more.

Sounds like something's wrong with your system.  I haven't had any of those problems with Lion.  It is, of course, your choice to downgrade if you want, but I'd advise doing some basic troubleshooting to see if you can get Lion working.  Reboot into the Lion recovery partition by holding down command and r while starting up.  (You can let go once you see the Apple logo.)  Repair the hard drive with Disk Utility.  Once done, reboot normally.  Then repair permissions in Disk Utility.  (You want to do that while booted normally, not from the recovery partition.)  You may also want to consider clearing caches with something like OnyX.  (Note that this is a troubleshooting step only, don't assume you need to do this periodically as some would have you believe.)

    I face a problem with my macbook air or i think it's from the lion OS cause i didn't happen with snow leopard OS the massage says ( you can't open the application ....... because powerPC applications are no longer supported). any advice ??

    Mac OS X Lion has dropped support for Rosetta, the feature that allowed you to run PowerPC apps on previous OS X systems. Check if you can find a newer version of the app you are trying to run that supports Intel processors.
    What application are you trying to run? Maybe I can help you find a version that runs on Lion.

  • Lion update causes Safari two "quit unexpectedly"

    Most recent Lion update causes Safari two "quit unexpectedly" on 2 of my iMac's and my Macbook.  Has anyone else had the same problem, and/or can anyone help with this?  Firefox is working fine.

    My Safari had the same issue last week "quit unexpectedly" right after it started.
    Any way, this linked helped me

  • 10.8.2 Mountain Lion Update Causes Major Problems

    I'm running an early 2009 iMac and I made the jump to Mountain Lion about a month ago. Initial upate ran OK, I had some problems but overall it ran pretty decently. I held off on updating to 10.8.2 because I wanted to see if it caused any issues, but decided to go ahead about a week and a half ago. Since then, my computer has had daily problems. To name a few, my computer completely crashes when going into sleep mode and will not return, the sound frequently disappears and goes unrecognized. iTunes has been an utter disaster - I have an iPod classic, which as soon as I plug in causes iTunes to crash. I've had similar issues with my iPhone 4. Airplay drops regularly when I never had that issue prior. Homesharing in particular causes iTunes to crash, which was working infrequently as of just yesterday.
    I've had quite a few issues, which over the past few weeks has rendered my iPod classic and old iPhone completely useless as I cannot sync them to put music on them (I restored iPod to see if that would fix it, but it didn't. So now I have an empty iPod that won't sync). And the workaround of using homeshare was viable as an alternative, but now does not work at all. Connecting to my Apple TV takes 5-10 times longer than it previously did, and the connection occasionally drops. I used all these features with a regularity which makes this extremely frustrating.
    Not sure if Apple plans to fix this with iTunes 11 update, but I'm hoping something will come about soon. I called support to inquire about downgrading back to Snow Leopard, but the guy on the phone convinced me to reinstall the OS, which I did. It has not solved any of my issues (although I was finally able to update my iPhone 4 to the latest firmware, it will still not sync or do Homeshare). Any ideas how I could solve these problems? These all started happening the day I updated to 10.8.2 and, as I said, I hadn't experienced anything like them previously. 

    I have done that, several times.
    So this is where I'm at now - last night, immediately after finishing a movie that was on my WD hard drive, which holds all of my media, music, movies - I restarted my computer and then it would not read the drive. It said it was unreadable.
    I brought the Mac and the drive into an apple store today - they said basically it was my hard drive causing the issues. I used my iPod classic as my media back up as the 160 gb could hold all my stuff. Well, as I mentioned previously, that can't sync and I restored it, with no success. So in essence I lost my media drive and the back up. Tough to swallow, I'm angry, I think it's still mountain lion causing the drive to fail.
    So I resolved to go home and restore my computer to one of my time machine back ups and do a Snow Leopard reinstall. Well, the moment I returned from the apple store, the time machine drive is now listed as unreadable. I called support, spent hours with them - I now have two drives which fried within 10 hours of each other in the same error. The senior support manager agreed it sounds like mountain lion is indeed corrupting my drives somehow. My iMac currently won't start into the recovery disk. So I went out spent $200 to get a new hard drive, which I am now backing up my data onto with a new Time machine.
    In the last week, I've lost my iPod classic, iPhone 4, two external hard drives and now possibly even the Mac itself. I'm going to install snow leopard and see if it alleviates any of my issues, or hopefully can read my drives. I truly believe Mountain Lion is the problem.

  • OSX Mountain Lion Upgrade causes Restart, Kernel Panics

    Have tried resetting PRAM, repairing permissions, and Disk Repair. This is happening after an upgrade from Snow Leopard to Mountain Lion. A fresh install is not a possibility. of course, I have a time machine backup and can go back to snow leopard if I have to. I cannot do a clean Mountain Lion install although I am planning to do one just to see if this is a hardware issue and not a software issue, and then revert back with time machine. I'm not having any luck discerning what caused the actual reboot.
    There is no particular action I take that causes this. It happens randomly. It has been happening since the upgrade today. I installed XCode4 on the computer from the app store, which did not upgrade but instead put another copy of Xcode. There was a thread I researched where someone suggests removing an AppleProfileFamily file from Sytem/Library, but I do not have that file on my system.

    This software seems to pinpoint the problem. I haven't had the restart issue with Intel onboard graphics only. However, this definitely isn't a problem solved.
    After much more research, I found that people with my video card have been having this issue since OSX Lion and Apple still hasn't fixed it. This is incredibly disappointing. I will be contacting Apple for a refund on Mountain Lion soon if I can't find updated drivers.
    Thanks very much for your help.

  • Updating to Mountain Lion has caused me to lose Adobe Creative Suite - is it possible to upgrade?

    I have recently had to upgrade to mountain lion for my new iPhone 5, however this has caused me to loose my much loved Adobe Creative Suite. As soon the upgrade was completed my photoshop, illustrator and acrobat icons had a white symbol over them that looks like a no entry sign. When I click on it a pop up window appears that says 'You can't open the application because PowerPC applications are not supported. It is an old version of creative suite (the first I think) but I can't afford to buy a new one. Does anyone know whether its possible to upgrade or a solution?

    It must be a very old version of Adobe. I run CS4 and my son runs CS5 with no issues and I believe CS3 can run under ML although I have not seen it as such, only read it here.
    Upgrading is expensive but well worth it if you use Adobe regularly. You can always run Snow Leopard on another partition or external drive and run your old AdobeCS within that if you want.
    Good Luck

  • Lion quarantine causing applications to not launch/open

    Hello all,
    I seem to have tripped over this quarantine bug in Lion. Newly downloaded apps simply sit in the Dock with the sphere pulsing, and disappear when clicked on.
    I've found a few places that talk about possible workarounds with Terminal, but haven't been able to get them to work for me.
    https://discussions.apple.com/message/17933033#17933033
    https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3826648?tstart=0
    http://reviews.cnet.com/8301-13727_7-57374676-263/workarounds-for-quarantine-bug -in-os-x-lion/
    http://reviews.cnet.com/8301-13727_7-57406599-263/tackling-a-newly-installed-app lication-not-opening-in-os-x/
    Is there anything new known about this situation? Is there any other workaround or trick to try? This is stopping me from being able to install any new software properly. I'm hoping I don't have to wipe the system and start over, but I'm not seeing much choice. Assuming I don't trip the bug during the rebuild process and end up back in the same spot....
    Helpful pointers or information greatly appreciated,
    Markie

    Good questions, apologies for the vagueness.
    Download app from 3rd party site, haven't confirmed if something from App Store has the same problem.
    Copy app to Applications folder
    Icon appears in the Dock with the plusing "I'm launching" sphere beneath it.
    That's where it just hangs there, and clicking the icon in the Dock causes it to disappear and the launch to abort
    I don't have an anti-virus running in the background, but I do periodically run ClamXav (about once a week).
    I've tried uninstalling with AppCleaner
    I've tried uninstalling manually
    I've copied and replaced
    I've emptied Trash, Logged out, restarted, tried the Terminal to flip quarantine bit workaround, etc -- all multiple times with no change in behavior
    The App I'm currently battling with
    MacTubes (http://macapps.sakura.ne.jp/mactubes/index_en.html)
    I innocently updated from the previous (working) version just this morning and realized this had happened with another app last week.

  • Mountain Lion Upgrade causing issues due to hard drive fault

    I have a question about Mountain Lion crashing your hard drive. I upgraded my Macbook Pro 13' several weeks ago afer the release of Mountain Lion. The download took sometime before it completed it's download and completed without incident. Since that time I've had no issues with the softward update, my hard drive or computer.
    However yesterday evening I went to use my computer and the screen after the Apple logo disappeared showed a circle w/a line thru it and turning gears just below it. After reading several forums and posts it seems that the computer cannot find a bootable disk to load up from. I do not understand this as I not changed the HD and the computer was working fine just the day before.
    I tried to do a reinstall of the original OSX system (snow leopard) - it did download but after the computer re-started the system went back to the same screen w/the circle and line thru it. I then restarted computed hitting options to take me into the recovery / disk utility. From their I tried to verify and repair the HD - still same problem (circle w/line), I then just tried to reinstall Mountain Lion (same results).
    WTH is going on - this was a perfectly good computer working fine & now I cannot get it to boot up or run at all? Could this be a software issue due to Mountain Lion or simply a bad HD? Any advice on how best to correct this issue would be appreciated. I use my laptop for dj'ing and have an upcoming gig in 2 weeks. HELP...

    Heres the problem im having maybe it is similer

  • Automatic filter effect is causing me grief.

    Ive used AF many times before, and ive never had this problem up until now.
    What it is doing is causing the track it is affecting to fade out half way through the song, then it "pops" back in.
    if i stop the song as it starts to fade out, and play again, the effect wont be happening, however later in the song, it will fade out again.
    Im using AF to make stutters during a certain part of the track.
    The rest of the track is unaffected (minus that mysterious fade out), and plays normally.
    anyways, im sorry if that doesnt quite make sense, if you can help of if you need anything clarified please help.

    changing settings doesnt do anything
    i'd rather not remove the filter, ive got...i dunno what to call it. Theres a drop down bar below where you put the notes, you can control the track volume and pan through it, or whatever else you want, and i got the speed settings fine tuned D=
    aaanyways... yeah, ill give that a shot, hopefully my previous info stays.
    EDIT::
    Looks like duplicating the track and turning the filter off, sliding the bar down a point then back up, and turning the filter back on worked....
    Thanks anyways

  • Mountain Lion dock causes kernel panic

    Greetings.
    I have a mid 2009 MacBook Pro, 15" model with dual core i5 processor.  I have a wierd bug that whenever I open an app from the dock the system will shut down and restart.  This has been happening ever since I upgraded to Mountain Lion.  I've cleaned the PRAM, did hardware tests with TechTool Pro, nothing seems to be wrong with the hardware.  I did a clean install of Mountain Lion, then individually re-installed all the software.  I don't have any weird "eye candy" utility apps running either.  Now the computer even shuts down and restarts upon the first startup of the day at the point of entering the logon password.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.  Thank you.    Here is the last panic report sent to Apple:

    Note that if you downgrade this will require you first erase the hard drive. Be sure to make a cloned backup in case.
    My opinion is that you downgrade to Snow Leopard. Unless you have a bootable Lion USB stick you cannot reinstall Lion via Internet Recovery. Mountain Lion would be installed since that's what you now have.
    Downgrade Lion/Mountain 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.
    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.

  • Installing OSX lion has caused my Macpro problems on startup

    Since I installed Lion a few days ago  I am  getting an intermittent blinking of the power button light when I startup. Sometimes it starts up, sometimes it just  blinks,  and then I hold the power button till the computer turns off. Then when I try to start up again I hold the power button till I hear a long sound and a chime. Then it starts up, but only if I do that process. What could be going on? It hasn't done any of this kind of behavior till I installed Lion. I tried running disc repair and permissions repair from start up on another drive, but it does the same thing when I try to restart in that drive. Also a side question; is a download for lion from the app store only good for one installing on one drive? I tried to load lion on my back up Lacie one terabite drive but it wouldn't install.

    Might be coincidence, might be a change in the power-on self test, might be something else entirely (though I don't know what.) I suggest you take the machine to an Apple Store for testing.

  • Mountain Lion is causing havoc with Safari ...

    I am at my wits end! After many Apple tech calls, tons of advice, you name it we've done it! BUT still Safari keeps crashing, pages will not load, iTunes and App Store also playing up. Every few moments my MacBook Pro keeps telling me "I'm not connected to the internet" BUT, again I am always connected! It's completely beyond me, icons missing, unable to load web pages and that darned beach ball keeps appearing even when loggin on. Sometimes, but only sometimes everything seems to work as it should and then you know "You're not connected" etc. etc. I did not have any trouble with Lion and 10.8.1 does not seemed to have helped at all. Is anyone, anywhere having a nightmarish time with OS X (10.8.1)???? aka Mountain Lion! ANY help or advice appreciated but apart from buying a new MacBook Pro (this one is only 3 years old) I think we have already tried everything including removing dozens of files under instructions from Apple Tech. An example is that it took me 10 minutes to get to the support page (not connected) after quitting Safari 3 times...enough! arrrrrh!

    Can you tell me if I should uncheck Enable Java in Safari Preferences?
    You can try but doubtful that's related to your internet connection.
    Try this ...
    Go to Safari > Preferences then select the Security tab.
    Deselect:  Enable plugins
    Quit and relaunch Safari to test.
    If you are able to post here then post a crash report. It might save you a trip to an Apple store.

  • Very disappointed that Lion is causing major problems with disable students assistive software in the UK. Software suppliers are not issuing patches/upgrades until 2012. Totally unacceptable attitude from Apple in ignoring disabled customers

    This is going to affect a large number of disabled UK students as patches and upgrades for the specialist software are not due for release until late 2011/early 2012.
    Only options they have is to revert to Snow leopard, defficult as Apple have even recall resellers stock and upgraded it to Lion.
    I am contacting the UK educational funding bodies with a view to suspending purchasing of all Apple equipment until such time as the situation has resolved itself.

    Ikrups says "Speaking of getting one's professional act together I would take a look in the mirror if I were you. A professional responsible for maintaining the computer equipment and network of a school system would certainly perform extensive testing of any new operating system upgrade before deploying it. Even the smallest corporations don't just upgrade software willy-nilly. If you had thought to set up a test system and verified what software worked and what didn't before deploying Lion to the entire system you would have been protecting your students from these issues. A professional would have discovered these issues and delayed deployment of Lion until the patches you mention were available. But you didn't and now you are trying to deflect blame from yourself and your staff. And you dare to accuse Apple of incompetence. I call hypocrisy"
    I seem to have ruffled a couple of feathers. I do not remember saying I was responsible for computer systems/networks/school systems. Or accusing Apple of incompetence.
    All I did was state that Apple seems to have forgotten or is not aware about the potential impact of Lion on disabled students in the UK and both apple and the assistive software suppliers failed to act together over this omission.
    During our research prior to the launch of Lion we as a specialist group had identified 22 of the 40 applications used in assistive software that had 'Problems' this was communicated to all interested parties. Still waiting for the 'FIX'
    FYI ALL parties have had similar notices on their BB's NOT just Apple.
    despite being given 2 ears and 1 mouth some people do not listen twice as much as they speak.

  • Integrating Facebook in Mountain Lion has caused duplicated birthday events in my Calendar. Is there any way to show only the birthdays of my iCloud contacts, and ignore birthdays from my Facebook contacts?

    I do not have any contacts on my local machine. Before updating to Mountain Lion, I stored all of my contacts and calendars in iCloud. When I updated and integrated Facebook, it added the Facebook contacts and all of their information to my Contacts directory. I have merged all duplicated data, and still my Calendar shows a birthday entry for my iCloud contact, and a second entry for the Facebook version of the same (merged and linked) contact. Is there any way to disable Facebook birthdays in my Calendar? Or, for bonus points, is there any way to merge the Facebook category of contacts with my iCloud contacts so that I never see duplicated data in any applications?

    You can disable the facebook contacts by going to System Preferences -> Mail Contacts and Calendars -> Facebook, and the unchecking contacts.  That will remove your facebook contacts from your contact book.  Not sure if thats exactly what you want, but that's the only thing I could discover.
