Lion software problems

I am still getting used to Lion and have been able to work around most of the issues I have found. I am having some software issues, right now, as far as I know, they are limited to Safari and Pages.
With Safari, I have a home page, but, if I shut down safari and bring it back up, I am not at my home page, but at the last page I was on before I shut it down. Everything looks ok in my setup, but I can't seem to change it so when it launches, I get my home page.
With Pages, I have figured out how to save copies of items I am working on. With Snow Leopard you could save a specific document when you were working on it. Occasionally I will want to work on a document and then change the name and save the new document, but I haven't figured out how to do this either.
Needless to say, any help would be appreciated.
Thank you.

To turn off resume, go to system preferences > general > re-open windows when opening an application (or something like that). Alternately, when you quit Safari, hold down the option key (cmd - option - q).
Your Pages problem can be resolved by using the new feature called "duplicate". This is the new version of "Save As...", and it will do exactly the same.
Best of luck.

I just installed the new mountain lion software on my iMac. I was currently running Snow Leopard. My problem is with my mouse. Now when I scroll down the page it moves in the opposite direction. I checked system S.P. - Natural for scroll feature.

I just installed the new mountain lion software on my iMac. I was currently running Snow Leopard. My problem is with my mouse. Now when I scroll down the page it moves in the opposite direction. In system preferences I tried checking and unchecking Natural for scroll feature. Movement from side to side works fine. Has anyone experienced this problem?

I think this new scrolling behaviour was introduced with Lion. You do get used to it pretty quickly (well I did). Are you sure that deselecting Natural Scrolling in Mouse Prefs doesn't re-instate the previous behaviour, it does here.

Mountain Lion software update problem

I have purchased Mac book pro in July 2012. I wanted to download the Mountain Lion software update. I have redeemed the same from the Mac store. The downloading icon has appeared but it does not seem to be progressing...what could be the problem??

In the past, I have taken certain larger upgrades from apple at non-peak hours (magically everything was installed quickly) other times I have taken large upgrades from apple at peak hours ( I took forever and I questioned what is going on) this could be the issue. "server load" or your ISP (internet service provider)
* peak hours (when a lot of people are off work down loading the newest os or applications)

Email Problems with New Lion Software

I have recently upgraded my computer to the new Lion Software. My email now longer works and is constantly in freefall sending and receiving emails. Since I downloaded the software this problem has happened on and off but now its a permanent problem. I know its the new software that affecting my emails as all my other devices, my iphone and ipad pick emails okay. As a small business owner this is a huge problem.

Hi!
After the new upgrade of software, my iPod Touch has not been able to retrieve any emails from the different a/cs I hv, Yahoo, Starhub, Singnet. All I see is the 1st few lines preview & when I click on that same email to open, its totally empty. Never had this problem b4 the upgrade.

MacBook Pro 13" Early 2011 Backlight Keyboard Not Working?! Software Problem...

So my "MacBook Pro 13" Early 2011" backlight keyboard hasn't been working. I have tried LabTick today, doesn't fix anything. Even in high or low lighting situations (dispite the Adjust keyboard brightness in low light being off) doesn't like to go on. It doesn't give me a circle with a cross like it does with that box checked in day light. It shows on the screen the
16 dots fully light after hitting F6 fully, just it doesn't light up. I one time had to reset my Mac OS at the Apple Store, it fixed the problem, but when I restored with a time machine backup, it went back to this software problem. How can I fix this?! What is wrong with my OS? Mountain Lion? How can I fix this?!

If it does not detect the display automatically, try going to system preferences>displays, click detect displays.

My macbook pro 15 mid2010, crash every time in the last month. What can i do? Is a hardware or software problem?

The problem is that my mac is working very well, in soft programs, like browser or text editing, and then stop. Stop for one eternity, until i do a hard shut down.
After this situation apper´s many times, in a single day, i went to a apple service store and left my mac to repair. At first, the tecnhical manager told me that happens a lot, and the problem are in the logic board. Well, when i pick up the mac, he told me that was a software problem and was solved with the instalation of 10.8.5, but in that same day, he crash 3 or 4 times, in different way´s. Now, he crash´s and restart alone, and at the first try don´t restart appearing one message on the grey screen.
I don´t know what is this problem.
Someone have or had this problem too?
What is the solution?
Thanks a lot...

Maybe find a local who can translate for you. I don't know what to tell you for dealing in another country for service on your computer.
I can offer you something you can do if you want to give it a try. You'll need a backup of your data in your Home folder because you need to erase the drive. You'll also need a solid, preferably fast, internet connection.
Install or Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion from Scratch
Be sure you backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive because the following procedure will remove everything from the hard 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.
Erase the hard drive:
1. Select Disk Utility from the main menu and click on the Continue button.
2. After DU loads select your startup volume (usually Macintosh HD) from the
      left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
3. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Optionally, click on
        the Security button and set the Zero Data option to one-pass. Click on
      the Erase button and wait until the process has completed.
4. Quit DU and return to the main menu.
Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion: Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion and click on the Install button.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible
            because it is three times faster than wireless.

After replacement of my hard drive iPhoto is no longer compatible with my lion software - why ?

after replacement of my hard drive iPhoto is no longer compatible with my lion software - why ?
any suggestions on how to fix this ?

what version of iPhoto are you using? i can't begin to answer that - it is no longer listed in my applications & has only a shadow of its icon in the dock
what version did you have before the drive replacement? same answer
what system version are you running? 10.8.5 - the one i was using when the hard drive died
what exactly do you see when iPhoto attempts to launch? -it doesn't attempt to launch - i get a message saying "You can’t use this version of the application “iPhoto” with this version of OS X. You have OS X 10.8.5. The application requires OS X 10.9 or later".
what have you tried? wringing my hands ! i daren't try anything after the hard drive crash
where is your library located? there is an iPhoto library folder on my desktop with random photos & albums - not all - put there by me - i vaguely remember a problem with iPhoto when i upgraded from snow leopard
did you apply any updates or upgrades just prior to the problem occurring? after the drive replacement i uploaded saved data from a week old back up and found iphoto looking somewhat sick - no updates were offered in software updates
are you running a "managed" or "referenced" library? i'm afraid i do not know what that means
what type of Mac? a macbook pro
how much free space on your boot drive? about 380 GB
thank you very much for your questions - i hope i find some answers

everything was fine until update to 10.6.8... wifi problem as many of you already know. tried to update to lion, same problem. Got back to 10.6 and then update to 10.6.8 using software update... then formatted again, fresh install 10.6 update to 10.6.8 using combo update, same problem.
tried to delete firewall file, turned off ipv6, changed security of my router from wpa2 to wpa, tried different channels, reset SMC and RAM, all the solutions we can research... all the same

I've read somewhere a new procedure that consists in update to 10.6.8 and before restart do some procedures.... but I can't find it anymore, any help?
I guess that solution is the only one remaining I did not try yet.

Help needed with Lion software update

I've upgraded from Snow Lepord to Lion. Downloaded Lion from app store which takes several hrs here in Aus. Installed Java then did software update, it gets stuck when almost installed at 'moving items into place' stage. Tried full combo also to no avail. Disk had some issues, repaired that reinstalled Lion - same problem. Any Ideas?

I got the following feedback from X-Rite support:
"please proceed as follows:
Go to MacHD/Library/LaunchDaemons and delete the file “com.aladdin.hasplmd.plist”. (You will need administrative rights.)
See if that eliminates the crash."
It worked for me.

Since installing LION having problems getting photo images to upload?

I can't turn on my Mac Book Air after upgrade the Lion software. Please, can you help me?

I bought a Mac Book Air 3 month ago. I upgrade Lion software several hours ago. Later I reboot and I left to work. When I arrive, I can't turn on my MAC. Only light up the capital letter light, all the other parts are
dead o seem to be. Can you tell me what I have to do to solve the problem, please?

We can't, but Apple can, contact customer service, have your serial number ready and for a small fee Apple will send you a replacement.
If you're in a hurry, go to the Apple Store and purchase a copy of OSX ($29 in the US)

Hardware or Software Problem: Firewire Keeps Disconnecting

Hi. The My Book Studio from Western Digital, external hard drive disconnected but when I reconnect it, it won't mount because it can't even be seen by the iMac on both Windows (Bootcamp) and OS X Mountain Lion 10.8.2. I checked it's own SMART diagnostics tool and it says, it's a pass (I also used it's quick test which also says it's pass). If I connect a USB cable though it works fine but I'd rather use the Firewire.
I got to mount it when I flashed the My Book's firmware to the latest once. After that, that method doesn't work anymore. I resetted the SMC and the the PRAM just now, this one mounted. So far so good. I'm not sure if it'll disconnect and never mount again but could this be a software problem or a hardware problem. Is it the iMac's hardware or the My Book? Is it OS X or the software that My Book uses which is came with this external hardisk.
Thank you in advance.
God bless.

Hi. It's most probably a Mountain Lion bug coz' it started after upgrading to that (I've checked the cables, it's got power and is working fine. I've sprayed it and the Firewire on the iMac with contact cleaner, dosed it with compressed air too):

I need my original purchased Lion Software from app store

Why is it that Apple see fit to remove any previous purchased OS software?
What I mean is I am currently working on the latest Mountain Lion software but have taken delivery of an old white macbook which cannot upgrade to Mountain Lion... Therefore I need the original "Lion" software I purchased through the app store....a few years ago.
Surly they have no right to remove what is rightfuly yours from your purchsed software in the app store no matter what version you are running now...
Any suggestions on where I can get this from (Lion OX)
Thanks

Yes I thought that would be the case but it seems 'Easy' is always not the case regarding the app store... See what happened when I tried to download it.... - Contacting Apple as I live in the UK ....I cant see what the problem is myself... Any ideas your end?

Lion is only two years old...
Secondly, any purchases you have made within the App or iTunes Store is your copy.
If the older Macbook is on Mac OS X 10.6 or Snow Leopard, you simply go to previous purchases/purchases tab within the Mac App Store and click on download/install.

Lion sleep problem

Hi folks,
I read all messages on the Lion sleep problem, verified all relevant settings, and tried all that was recommended and applicable, but to no avail. The display goes to sleep as set in energy saver but not the disk. Does anyone has more to offer on this subject? And apropos SleepPlease: I in principle refuse to download software that puts the machine to sleep when it's supposed to do so on it's own. Any help is appreciated.
Best
Frank

I tried both of those suggestions an am still having the problem. My settings are set to sleep the display and the monitor after 10 minutes. Most times it wakes up fine, but it seems that since the update it does not wake up after being asleep for a considerable amount of time.... I have to do a hard reset to get it to come back up.
