Lion upgrade and superdrive

after loading lion the superdrive does not recognize any of my dvds even though with snow leopard there was no problem.

To fix this problem,
1. Open Terminal.
2. Copy and paste this code:
sudo rm /private/var/db/mds/system/mds.install.lock
3. Reboot computer. (If hangs reboot again)
4. Fixed! Enjoy!
Its an easy fix that Apple should include in their next update

I'm about to install my new Lion upgrade and do not have imovie. Which imovie upgrade should I buy?

If you don't have the Apple ID and password, how did you get Mountain Liomn in the first place? Without the Apple ID and password, you'll need to buy it to download it.

Lion Upgrade and Universal Binary Plugins

Hey All,
So I read the apple press release about the Lion upgrade and if memory serves correctly I read that, with Lion, Apple will be discontinuing support for Universal Binary applications.
I'm currently running Logic Express 9.1.4 on Snow Leopard and I have a few Universal Binary AU plugins.
If I do upgrade to Lion, will my Universal Binary AU plugins also cease to work when I run Logic on Lion?
Additionally, will an upgrade to lion require me to run another series of upgrades in order for my system, and all my other apps, to run smoothly?
Not really complaining about this, just weighing the options before I decide whether to upgrade or not

I read about the Universal Binary support as well - don't remember where, did some googling. I'm not a big Apple/computer tekkie, but I have a feeling that going to Lion will be like the OS9 to OSX transition, but as if Classic Environment never existed.
I'd make the Lion decision based on your current hardware and software - is it working now? Or are you looking at some future release that only Lion will support? I bought Macromedia Studio (Academic) 2004 for about $200 or less back then, it's $529 now on Amazon, no cheaper/Academic version available that I can find (well, it's Adobe now.) Final Draft is screenwriting - basic word processing - no need to shell out close to $200 for a new version or a $99 upgrade that does the same thing on Lion (though after fighting with the company about their dropping support for my version, I was offered a cheaper upgrade - still, no need.) Also, MS Office works fine on the mini - again, basic word processing (I only and rarely use Word) seems crazy to upgrade, based on trying a new OS.
My G4 tower (I believe currently running 10.4.x) worked for my needs for what, 8 years? Still does all I need, I'll hold onto it, but chokes up a bit on Garageband, Final Cut 4 drags (but I never use it.)** I upgraded to Mac mini for the Intel processor (for Netflix streaming and any new Intel apps I may desire) and I can see this one with 10.6.8 lasting me for years, since it's running all my old apps and any that are available right now.
Good luck, whatever you choose, but I still say don't do it unless it's a dual boot situation.
**These are hardware issues, OS was never an issue except, of course, for the very first OSX.

OSX LION UPGRADE AND WORD AND EXCEL

Just upgraded to OSX Lion and my old word and excel will not open. Message is "Power PC applications are no longer supported?" What can I do?

Office 2011 works well now that they patched it up. You can get it for $89 on Amazon for a single user license.

Mail won't send after Lion upgrade and AT&T won't help

I upgraded my new MBP to Lion and now I can't send mail if I'm on my network at home. After looking at other threads (like this one: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3192956) and based on the symptoms I'm having, I think the problem is likely an AT&T problem. When I use the Lion laptop on a different network, mail works and I can send mail with no problems. That suggests to me that the network is the issue.
I called AT&T to tell them this and they feel everything is working on their end so it must be my email client. They want to charge me to talk to tech support because I'm using an email client instead of their web interface.
Does anyone using AT&T have the same problem? Does anybody know how you get through to a big company like AT&T who isn't listening?

Hey Kerry,
Believe it or not, sending mail from home seems to now be working for me. The strange thing is that when I made the change I'll tell you about, it didn't work at first, but now it does. The only explanation I can think of is that I've rebooted my machine since I made the change and that seems to have made the difference.
Anyway, here's what I did. In Mail, go to File > Preferences > Accounts. Now, select the account in the left pane if it isn't already selected. In the main pane at the bottom you should see an option for TLS Certificate. Mine had 'None' selected so I opened the combo box and saw there was a certificate I could choose (just a big long string of numbers and letters). I chose that, saved my changes, and that was it.
Like I said, nothing changed immediately after I did this yesterday. But this morning, I can now send mail. So either this change (and a reboot) fixed the problem for me or coincidentally AT&T fixed the issue on their side - I don't know.
Give this a shot and let me know what happens.

Mountain Lion upgrade and Internet connection problems ?

Since I upgraded my Macbook Air, it does not want to connect to my home Internet network anymore. My Ipad, Iphone and tablet PC are all working fine, but to connect to the network I need to restart and even reset my router to be able to connect. Needless to say, I lose connection when it gets into sleep mode and when it is shut down. Anyone having the same problem or a solution ?

I'm having similar problems with a 2012 13" MacBook Air. It's brand new, came installed with Mountain Lion.
I get disconnected from the wireless randomly and the wireless icons turns gray. Like you, I have an iPad, multiple computers and they all work fine.
Instead of restarting the router, I go into Safari and do a network diagnostics and it picks up the connection easily enough.
No solution as of yet, but I posted a topic here if you want to follow it:

Mountain Lion upgrade and Numbers, Mountain Lion upgrade and Numbers

I have upgraded both Mountain Lion and Numbers for Mac and iPhone but now when I try to open a file from either an error message comes up saying "The index.xml file is missing." and it wont open.
Please help, this is a very important spreadsheet!!!
Thank you
Karen

iWork '09 installed from the retail disk or from the downloaded trial must be updated through Software Update. In Mountain Lion Software Update has been "rolled into" the Mac App Store. Choose Software Update from the Apple menu just like you always have & the Mac App Store will launch. Depending on what you have that needs updating you may see two sections in the MAS window.
But, as always, if you're not running the latest versions of the iWork apps installed from a retail box or the downloaded trial & Software Update says your software is up to date, make sure the applications are where the installer initially put them. The updaters are very picky. If the location is not where the updater is programmed to look or if the folder doesn't have the name the updater looks for, it will not work. The applications cannot be renamed or moved. If you installed from the downloaded trial or the retail box, they must be in the iWork '09 folder in Applications. That iWork folder must be named iWork '09. If it doesn't have the '09 Software Update won't find them & the updaters won't work.
You can try the standalone updater found on this page.

Lion upgrade and inDesign printing problems

Upgraded to Lion and now inDesign cs4 crashes when I go to print

Did you do an in place upgrade of Lion? Not a great idea.
Clean install followed by a clean install of all applications. You should also take note of the following:

New mt lion upgrade and no more iMovie...what can I do?

If your version of iMovie is too old to run under ML, buy the current version from the App Store.

Mavericks upgrade and superdrive

Hello, Mavericks is installed on my macbook pro 13' mi-2010 since yesterday but now my notebook don't accept any CD or DVD. Is it normal or is thare a solution. Thanks for your help. JEFF

I have posted a fix to the internal Mavericks Superdrive problem in this thread:
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5515067
Pharlock, maybe the trick will work for your external Superdrive too?

I had the same problem after installing Mavericks on a late 2008 MBP.
I tried reseting NVRAPM/PRAM and SMC but that did not work.
Then I ran some drutil commands and eventually got the superdrive to wake up.
I'm not sure which command did the trick so please try running these commands from terminal in the following order.
drutil status
drutil info
drutil getconfig
drutil eject
Now try inserting a DVD. If that doesn't work please try the above sequence with a DVD partially inserted in the drive. I dont think that matters, but I did have a CD partially inserted when I fixed my superdrive.

Cancel Mountain Lion upgrade and refund money

Hi,
I have purchased OSX Lion 10.8 from Thailand App store today. In the same way, I also have requested my copy Mountain Lion through http://www.apple.com/osx/uptodate/ because I had bought new Macbook Pro on 22 June 2012 so, I have qualifition to get Mountain Lion free upgrade. However, there will be a money deduction from my credit card becase I am misunderstanding to download the new OSX from the store, which costs $19.99 so, could I cancel or refund money?
Thank you,

Upgrading Snow Leopard to Lion only affects the system software. The /Users/ folder remains untouched.
