Lion just installed but now Parallels file lost?

Please could anyone give advice re Parallels drive being lost after installing Lion?  I have therefore downloaded Parallels 7 as I was using version 5 prior to the Lion.  Totally confused.....!

Do  you have an Intel iMac? You've posted this in the PPC section.
Lion would not delete any files although it might quarantine incompatible applications. Perhaps you should do some Spotlight searching of your drive. You will need Parallels 7 with Lion. The version you have been using is not compatible.

    Sounds to me like the file is probably corrupt. If you had hard drive corruption or damage, that could easily result in recovered files not being fully intact. If you were trying to recover accidentally deleted files, it's possible they might have been partially overwritten before recovering. There are never any guarantees with file recovery.
    Without more information on the circumstances that led you to try recovery, it's hard to give advice on what to try from here. You could always try another file recovery tool, like Data Rescue 3. Just be sure you're taking appropriate precautions when doing recovery. See Recovering deleted files.

  • Recently upgraded Mac 24" to Lion (clean install) and now no external hard disks work with Time Machine

    Recently upgraded Mac 24" to Lion (clean install) and now no external hard disks work with Time Machine.
    installed new internal disk first with fresh 10.7.3 Lion software. Also upgrade ram to 4GB. Work great, super fast.
    BUT.... my WD 1TB firewire400 external disks no longer work with the Lion enabled machine now.
    FURTHER... I read somewhere that WD is problematic with Lion but Seagate was not... so I went and bought a new 3TB Seagate GoFlex.
    When it didnt work properly either, I patiently searched and found a software/firward upgrade and applied.
    I re-partitioned disk to extened/journaled standard, etc.
    Then assigned the particition to Time Machine. Drive turned the blue/grey color, so I thought it would work.
    But, it has now been in "preparing" mode in Time Machine for HOURS....
    What is up Apple? So dissappointed. Ive read these type of problems are notorious with Lion and I wish I never upgraded.
    Are you trying to make issues with External disks, to drive people to iCloud?  That trick ont work in me. I will not reward bad behaviour Apple.
    Please provide a fix... I wasted hours/days screwing around with this, instead of using the Mac for what its intended!

    Solved by Pondini, on another thread I opened...
    Answer:
    Sounds like either:
    A directory problem on your internal HD.  Verify your internal HD, and Repair any other volumes being backed-up per #A5 in Time Machine - Troubleshooting.
    Something in OSX may be damaged.  You've tried the "combo," so a fresh copy of OSX (that won't disturb anything else) would be worth a try (and you don't need a tech for that).  See Installing the ''combo'' update and/or Reinstalling OSX.

    Sorry for the inconvenience that has caused to you.

    I just installed Yosemite, now I can't clear history without clearing cookies. How do I clear  history and keep cookies?

    I think you guys make a great point, I too don't like how my cookies are erased when I clear history and have to use the go around. Just a reminder and I'm sure you all know, this is a user to user forum and Apple may or may not get to see your opinion. I think you should let them know. You can leave them feedback at the following url. https://www.apple.com/feedback/safari.html

    Hello,
    '''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.
    ''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
    * You can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
    * Or open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
    ''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
    '''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article for that.
    ''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
    ''When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help other users who have the same problem.''
    Thank you.

    How do I upgrade the ram?
    The 2 places I’ve seen recommended most to buy reliable RAM are below. I have purchased RAM several times from Other World Computing and have always been very satisfied with the product and service. They have on-line instructions on how to replace the RAM. OWC has also tested RAM above what Apple states is the maximum. I now have 6GB installed on a machine supposedly limited to 4 GB.

    Do a backup, preferably 2 separate ones on 2 separate drives.
    Revert to a Previous OS X - Yosemite
    Revert to Snow Leopard
    If you do revert, I'd use Setup Assistant to restore your data. This process takes a while, so do it when you won't need the computer for several hours, based on my experience.

    If you install those new OS X versions over the top of what you already have, your files and preferences should remain.  However, it's a very good idea to have at least one complete backup of your Mac's disk before you try anything like that.

  • Just installed.  Now can't open many  Word for Mac files.  How fix?

    I just installed Snow Leopard. Now I find I have many Word documents in file folders that I can double click on, but they won't open. Even when I try other ways to open, they won't. I have a big need for a quick fix. Any suggestions?
    Thanks! Duncan

    Hi Barry,
    I have Office 2004 Version 11.5.5. I can open some files, but others not. When I double click on them, they flash like they are about to open, but then they just sit there. I offloaded some of these non-opening files with my thumbdrive and put them on my wife's iMac. (She hasn't installed Snow Leopard yet.) They open just fine there. So the files are okay. The only difference seems to be the operating systems. Thanks for any help you can give me.

  • Just installed Maverick, updated Pages. Lost power to computer and now Pages crashes on opening every time.

    I've got an imac 27inch, just installed Maverick and updated Pages. Power went out in my house and now, when I open Pages, it flashes a brief recovering screen (do you want to reopen?) then crashes completely. Need help. Thanks.

    I have the same problem. I have never had a problem with Firefox before, and use it as my main browser. However recently, after updating to 3.6.8, its been crashing all the time. Up to 20 times an hour. Usually it occurs when I click a link from a Google search, or in Yahoo. Even if I send in a crash report and restart Firefox, it crashes as soon as the same page is brought back up, or the same link is clicked. I have also had it crash when completely idle. Its very frustrating as it is my favorite browser. I've resorted to using Google Chrome for the time being.
