OS X Lion (10.7)
14,63€

Why are you bothering to upgrade to Lion?
If your machine is one of those that can't upgrade to the better Mountian Lion, then it's much better off remaining on Snow Leopard because of all the legacy software your running won't need to be replaced.
The Lions and beyond won't run your PPC software, and likely most of your Intel software neither, no Rosetta!
A older machine that can only run Lion is a dated machine, and likely due to expire soon.
I can't see even bothering to go to Lion and having to buy all new software for a old machine, not at your stage.
A newer 10.8 machine would be a better choice, because you know Apple releases a new OS X version every year now and the year is almost up, so if you get to 10.7, then your going to be behind again shorty anyway on the old machine, but the new machine you can upgrade OS X to the latest new version.
It doesn't make much sense at this point and time to upgrade to Lion for you, the older machine will run best with Snow Leopard anyway.
If you MUST use one of the OS X Lions, then I suggest a new machine, that way it can be upgraded further.
Apple is still issuing security updates for Snow Leopard, it's got a 1/3 apx market share.
OS X 10.4/10.5 need to upgrade, 10.6.8 ok still

Why does my iPhoto seem to get "stuck" a lot of times to the point where I have to force quit it and how do I fix it?

Why does my iphoto seem to get "stuck" a lot of the times when I try to exit it to the point where I have to "force quit" it and how do I fix the problem that causes it?

With the amount of information you've provided it's impossible to offer a potential solution. We can't see your computer so we need to know the details of your problem and setup, i.e.:
what version of iPhoto are you using?
what system version are you running?
does this only happen when you try to quit iPhoto?
what fixes have you tried?
where is your library located?
did you apply any updates or upgrades just prior to the problem occurring?
are you running a "managed" or "referenced" library?
what type of Mac?
how much free space on your boot drive?

Why does it take ages for my video files to be listed in the menu?

I have my apple tv 2nd generation connected to my airport extreme first generation via ethernet. I have my mac mini connected to the same network (though not connected to the airport extreme) with video files and tv shows in itunes. My itunes media is stored on a hard drive connected to my mac mini and home sharing is on.
It takes ages for my apple tv 2 to list the videos/tv shows in its menu. For example I have my films listed by genre. If I select a genre, it takes sometimes as long as 5+ minutes to list the videos within that genre.
Can anybody help with this frustration?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
You probably have a problem with your LAN. If you are using wifi:
You can download and install iStumbler to help you see which channels are used by neighbouring networks so that you can avoid them, but iStumbler will not see household items.
Refer to your router manual for instructions on changing your wifi channel.

Why does it take forever to load mail messages once clicked on on the left

My mail seems to have trouble loading in the view side of the mail window. this happens with all the new mail old mail is usually opened immediately. The New ones just keep showing a loadind icon in the window. Does anyone know how to fix this?

Seems like it is still in the downloading process which may provide some lag time. Do you have slow or limited internet?

Why does it take for a month to get internet services?

I'd like to know why does it take for a month to get internet services? I ordered my service on Jan 18,2012 and I got the installation kit on Jan 21,2012. But I can't use the internet and I have to wait until Feb 9,2012 for my service ready date. I think it takes a long time. I need the internet to do my project, but I can't. I'm very disappointed right now. I think I can use the internet after I place my order. (2 or 3 days it's ok, but I have to wait for a month that's terrible) Why can't they just turn on the services? I'd like to know who can i talk with?

Have you tried hooking the modem up, and does it get sync and does the Internet light come on? Even though you technicaly shouldn't do this, the line might already be up and running but they haven't told you yet. I don't know why it takes a month to hook up DSL. In my area, it takes two weeks typically from order to live, whether it's new service or a speed upgrade/downgrade (these are usually one week. They can be done on the spot, though!). No one has ever explained why it takes that long, but I presume it has someting to do with the billing cycle and perhaps line conditioning if they still do that (away from removing bridged taps and load coils), giving a technician time to pick up the service request and perform the task before someone goes, builds the profile for the line and then connects a few cables to an empty slot in a DSLAM and does some other background tasks to bring the connection online.

Why does it take so long to delivery?!

Ordered my Macbook pro today. Dispatch date for the whole order is 1-3 business days. Delivery estimate is 19th - 23rd January (today is the 31st December!!) so why does it take so long for the courier to deliver?? That's over 3 weeks away and a long time between dispatch and delivery!

I'm lucky enough there is one in Southampton where I live and there are two in Bristol where I study so I could easily go and pick one up! Infact I think there is a store within an hours drive of anyone in the UK now, plus there are official Apple stalls (with Apple staff and Genius bar) in most electronic superstores. So not too hard to find!
However, the issue is that I'll be paying for my Pro through finance (Barclays in the UK) so I don't really want to have to cancel that as they do a credit check on you and I'm afraid applying for finance again would affect my rating so I'm not too keen on doing that.
And before any of you suggest it, my finance has already been approved and Barclays will credit Apple within one business day (Tuesday, after the New Year public holiday on Monday) so this is not a reason for the delivery to be slowed up.
Out of interest I went onto the store again and added all my items to the basket. I ordered a MacBook Pro (standard 2.4 GHz 500GB model), Microsoft Office for Mac and Apple Care under university pricing and the delivery estimate was for the 4th January. So I'm wondering what could have possibly delayed my order!!

Why does it take so long to download a podcast on Mac as opposed to iPhone?

Performed a speed test of ISP and results were roughly 40/40. Why does it take 3 hours to download a 22MB podcast on iTunes via Mac?

I have the exact same problem. I purchased apple tv several years ago, and every time I go to rent or buy a movie it takes anywhere from 3 to 7 hours to download the movie. There is no spur of the moment "hey lets rent a movie tonight" because I know it will take overnight to complete the download. I've checked my internet speed and it spot on. I've noticed other threads with people having the same problem but no one seems to have a solution.

Why does it take 121 hours to load a movie on AppleTV?

Why does it take 121 hours to load a movie on AppleTV? We are connected to Wifi with a good signal, but nothing seems to work well. We can play music for awhile, but then it just drops us. Tried apple support, not available 'til tomorrow. Purchased yesterday.
Actually we watched the movie yesterday, and now it has to load again. It's on the ipad and plays, no problem. Want to watch it on the tv. Any Thoughts?
Ready to take it back.

Apple TV has no accessible storage, it will need to load each time. The time it takes is dependent on your network.
What is your current connection via speedtest.net
Make sure DNS is set to auto (settings - general - network)
The signal/network test on the device won't give a proper indication if there is a network issue. You will need to try ethernet to help rule that out, and it will also help to get a network report (istumbler, netstumbler or similar. It will show signal strength and noise as well as nearby networks)

Why does it take so long for your iTunes request to be added

I am a huge fan of the Apple Store, And I was looking through (ps) this is the Australian store, anyway, I was looking for Sonic X, and noticed they didnt have it , So I requested, its been a week since they have not even added it, I really loved that show and would like to have it digitally Downloaded instead of having dvds all over the place Anyway, how long and why does it take forever for a tv series request be finally added to the iTunes store?

A bit young?
They have a request page so people can tell the iTunes Store about media they would like to have but is not currently available. Apple can judge the number of requests for this material and try to enter a contract with the copyright holder to make the product available. It is not an order form, like on Amazon or a fast food restaurant where you put in your order and they find it and have it ready for you. They can't call Sega and ask for one copy of it to make it available to you. They have to enter into a contract giving them rights to offer it for download and have a payment schedule. Not something you are going to be able to do straight away.
And if Sega doesn't want to sell it on the Apple Store in Australia you won't be able to get it from there.

Why does it take me so long time to migrate from my old Mac

Why does it take me so long time to migrate from my old Mac?
I just bought a new MacBook Air and using an ethernet cable to migrate all material from my old MacBook Pro, it has now taken med 4 days
and still not done? What am I doing wrong?

Thanks for that gbrenik.
Don't really wanna start reloading all of Lion, but read somewhere that I should start the migration by restarting my source Mac by holding down T during startup, that would do the trick. Is this what I have done wrong?

Why does it take so long to download a saved movie from the cloud

Why does it take so long to download a saved movie from the cloud

Hi first off if your running fcp 7 with compressor 3.5 and fcp x and compressor 4 on the same drive you may run into problems
as you now have a mix up between Qmasters which caused me lots of problems when i did any back ground Rendering via compressor of FCP-X
i had to completly remove compressor 3.5 and compressor 4 then put compressor 4 back on again as the shared rendering out of FCP-X seems to loose the plot with both versions on the same on the same drive there is an app
Here
http://www.digitalrebellion.com/fcsremover/
which you can get allows you to get rid of certain bits of FCS and FCP-X correctly as you may know deleting the app is,nt the whole story as you need to remove the pref etc as well
but its really clearing out every thing to do with qmaster thats is the thing here thats what causes all the issues
really you should follow apple install instructions for FCP -X install ( and put it on separate volumes ) and i know they say there is a way to get every thing working on the same drive ...but it did,nt work for me like you i had massive render times and that 3x crash error
any way
once i had remove done my remove C3.5 ,C4 and reinstall C4 only it worked straight away from FCP-X using all the cores on my machine
get some thing like istats or run activity monitor to make sure Fcp-x is using all your cores to render and you can actually see if its doing anything at all instead of waiting 5 hours for an error
if you want to use multi core in compressor 4 you have to go into the new apple qmaster tab and setup up a quick cluster etc
On another note i alway use Optimized media when doing the import as while you editing its back ground render every thing into pro res making it a much nice codec to compress down to H264 which you need for the ATV
i hope that helps a bit ,some else may have a better solution but worked for me
thanks

Why does it take so long to download a movie rental from I tunes. I want to then transfer to my Ipad

Why does it take so long to download a movie rental from itunes. I am doing this to transfer to ipad.This is a question.

I have noticed this here on several machines in our office, all running Leopard.
I just did a test and subscribed to the same 16.8MB podcast on a machine running 10.4.11 and another running 10.5.8.
The Tiger raced straight through and downloaded at a constant rate, taking about 15 seconds.
The Leopard raced until 1.2MB downloaded and then slowed to a crawl, going up 0.1MB every 10 or 15 seconds.
Very strange. I've noticed the Leopards were having similar problems doing downloads through the Software Update utility.
I compared downloading an update from Support Downloads in Safari and there is no problem.
So (for me) this issue is applying to Leopard rather than Tiger, and only to downloads via SU and ITunes, not regular http downloads through a browser.

Why does it take an eternity to change the name of a Title in my iTunes movie library?

When I goof up and put a movie into my iTunes library with an error in the name, I click on the name and change it. My spinning wheel starts up and just goes and goes and goes. All I did was change the title of a movie; this should be simple. Why does that take an eternity? It happened in Snow Leopard and it happens in Lion.

When you change a tag, iTunes needs to rewrite the file back to the disc.
If the file is a 4MB MP3 it only takes a second, but with a large movie file it can take a while.

Why does it take I movie 6 hours to produce thumbnail for a new project

why does it take I movie 6 hours to produce thumbnail for a new project

Hi
Seems very long time.
When my Mac starts to get into a slow-motion in action eg encoding DVDs or alike - it's nearly always due to that free space on Start-Up (Mac OS) hard disk is to low.
• I try to never have less than 25Gb free space
• 10Gb - might work but slows down
• 5Gb - slow and instable
• less - incredibly slow, instable and if DVD is produced - it usually doesn't work
This space can not be utilized on other hard disks - Neither for Mac OS or iMovie or iDVDs temp. files - Has to be stored here. No-where else.
Yours Bengt W
