Mac Lion help

I downloaded OS X Lion 10.7 on my mac and I've been having problems with my mac. I looked online and saw that the 10.7 I installed was the wrong build (11a390). I need help in figuring out how to uninstall it and I don't have a Snow Leopard disk because I gave it to a friend. My itunes won't open and my google chrome isn't working. Some websites on safari won't open also. I just need help in figuring out how I can uninstall and reinstall Snow Leopard without disk.

You can't...Snow Leopard needs to have a disk to do the install...If you can get your disks back from your friend, that would be a good place to start. However, if you can't get it back, you can always call Apple and order one from them for $19.99 and have them ship you one and then you'll be able to restore Snow Leopard.

Hi, After I installed Mac Lion, I have problem with the tamil font while typing in Neo Office. Especially with the letters "e-Ex: தெ" and "ai-Ex:தை". Please help me I know its not bug from Apple It shd be some problem in neo.

Is your problem due to the keyboard or to NeoOffice Characters? You have to change probably the font. Not all fonts are supporting all Unicode sets. Which font you have in your NeoOffice set to write Tamil? Try with Arial Unicode MS for example.
Are the letter e-Ex and ai-Ex right in your posting? If they are right, how you inserted these letters in your posting? By copy and paste or by typing? If by typing, your question is related to NeoOffice. Probably you should reinstall or update NeoOffice? Or switch to OpenOffice?

Back up all data.
Quit Safari. In the Finder, select Go ▹ Go to Folder... from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Copy the line of text below into the box that opens, and press return:
/Library/Internet Plug-ins
From the folder that opens, remove any items that have the letters “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then launch Safari and test.
If you still have the issue, repeat with this line:
~/Library/Internet Plug-ins
If you don’t like the results of this procedure, restore the items from the backup you made before you started. Relaunch Safari again.

When looking at my "About This Mac" it says that I have 60gb of space left on my hard drive, but when I go into finder to find all of these files there is not 300gb worth in anything I search, even searching, "All files on the Mac". Help!?

It says I have over 150 gigs of video on my hard drive. But I have gone through and deleted almost all of what shows up, still it says there is roughly the same amount on the hard drive. Where are these files? I want to delete them so I can have my hard drive clear.
Thanks for your help guys!

Quote from the article.
Time Machine in OS X Lion includes a new feature called "local snapshots" that keeps copies of files you create, modify or delete on your internal disk. Local snapshots compliment regular Time Machine backups (that are stored on your external disk or Time Capsule) giving you a "safety net" for times when you might be away from your external backup disk or Time Capsule and accidentally delete a file.
So what makes a notebook any different then a desktop, other then with a desktop you might have your tm backup drive connected all the time.
The object here is to not indiscriminately delete files you need or want to keep. I personally have never deleted a file I wanted to keep.
In essence a backup is for catastrophic failure of your system. So it can be restored once that failure has been fixed. Not because you go in willy nilly and start deleting files.

How can I print to my HP OfficeJet 6500 Wireless Printer from my iPhone 4S which used to work before AirPrint printers were even available? (running Mac Lion OS, all software and HP sw updates are all performed)

How can I print to my HP OfficeJet 6500 Wireless Printer from my iPhone 4S which used to work (on prior iPhones) before AirPrint printers were even available? (running Mac Lion OS, all software and HP sw updates are all performed)
I don't get it, I read one post about why would we have to buy an AirPrint Printer when we have used the "print to a wifi printer" just fine in the past? Yes I feel that's exactly what's happening to me now too. I want to print from my iPhone and iPad to my WiFi Printer which is also now connected to my Airport Express WiFi network just fine. No problems.

Very glad you added that bit of information because I see different problems similar to this. I want to share with them what you did and hopefully you not only fixed your specific problem but you can lend some more advice to others with problems like this. Thanks!
Don't forgot to say thanks by giving "Kudos" if I helped solve your problem.

Mac Lion and Cisco VPN client problems

I just installed Lion 10.7 on my iMac and can no longer use the downloaded Cisco VPN client to connect to Microsoft Remote Desktop and access the PC in my company's office. When I try to launch the VPN client I get Error 51. I used to be able to enter a command in the Terminal as a workaround to use the VPN client when that happened, but that no longer works. I have tried booting into 32-bit mode; doesn't work. I tried to use the Cisco client built into Lion using settings provided by my company. When I try to connect I get the following message: "The negotiation with the VPN server failed. Verify the server address and try reconnecting."
I have searched the web looking for a solution. My company's tech department is stumped; the Apple Geniuses haven't been able to help. Does anyone have any ideas how I can use either the downloaded Cisco VPN client or the client built into Lion?
Sent from Cisco Technical Support iPad App

Here is the link which you can use to configure the inbuilt VPN client in MAC Lion.
http://glazenbakje.wordpress.com/2011/07/28/how-to-create-a-cisco-vpn-connection-in-apple-mac-os-x-lion/
Make sure you configure the attributes correctly.
Secondly the inbuilt VPN client code of Lion is made in collaboration with Cisco so there will not be any issues of compatibility.

Can anyone help me sync calendars from my iPhone to my Mac and help me figure out how to edit or delete lists in Reminders?

Can anyone help me sync calendars from my iPhone to my Mac and help me figure out how to edit or delete lists in Reminders? I thought upgrading to Mountain Lion would work, but I'm having the same problem as before under Snow Leopard. So, here's my situation.
I'm running 10.8.2 on a Macbook Pro. I have a 3GS iPhone running 6.0.1. I can make entries on my Mac Calendar and they will show up on my iPhone, but if I make an entry on my iPhone, it never makes it to my Mac. Also, I notice that when I log in to my iCloud account on my Mac, it has a "me.com" email address as my apple i.d., but it is not my primary account i.d. and I can't figure out how to delete it. Also, my Reminders application won't allow me to delete lists I created. Contacts, on the other hand, work instantaneously regardless of where the change is initiated.

On you iPhone check Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars>Default Calendar (in the calendars section). Here be sure you have selected the Calendar listed under your iCloud account ID as your default. If you haven't, make this change, then enter a new event on your phone and see if it syncs properly now.
You should be able to delete you reminders list by, from the Lists view, tapping Edit at the top, then tapping next to the list you want to delete and tapping Delete.

Trouble connecting kodak 3.2 to mac lion, trouble connecting kodak 3.2 to mac lion, trouble connecting kodak 3.2 to mac lion, trouble connecting kodak 3.2 to mac lion

Hi there,
I'm having trouble connecting a Kodak 3.2 printer to my Mac (Lion OS 10.7.4) - I've tried it on Wifi but no success and the same with usb. The mac is saying Printer not responding.
I've followed troubleshoot on the kodak support site and also done the usual uninstall - reinstall but to no avail. Any help would be appreciated.

The first question would be if it works while directly plugged in to the machine rather than on Wifi.

Early sat. morning java enabled a new update internally. now I can't get on BNSF website , it says not verified by a trusted source. Is there a patch or fix for this for mac lion system

BNSF help desk says it was an internal update by java and mac users won't be able to use firefox to log on. The update changed things for mac users. The window that popped up said sun.security validator exception. MD2 with RSA disabled. Cannot be verified by trusted source. I really need this web site for my work. I'm also computer illiterate. Is there some kind of patch or fix for mac lion. HELP.

That file could be set as a Launch Agent or Daemon in your ~/Library or /Library, You could try to look for it or Safeboot your computer and then empty the trash. Safebooting disables Launch Agents/Daemon and Third Party Kernal extensions. Here's the article to Safeboot OS X: What is Safe Boot, Safe Mode? - Apple Support

In case someone has a login loop with Mac Lion

Yesterday I had a login loop on my Mac Lion. I spent about 10 hours reading forums and interpretating the system logs, but nothing. Tried to log-in, then grey screen for a second, then back to the log-in screen.
So, in this scenario I managed to have it up and running again
The solution was to go to the recovery mode, that is after starting the MAC press CMD+R. There open a terminal and type resetpassword. A program will pop-up. There you have to activate the root account giving it a password.
After it, you have to let the Mac think you are missing the last step of the installation, following this guide http://www.hackmac.org/hacks/how-to-create-a-new-administrator-account/
Now, it's like you are brought to the very last step of a typical installation. Create an account and do whatever you want included to set (via the root user you activated before) the other login as automatic.
The key is to make one login automatic, maybe the old one to which you could not access.
Hope this will help someone!
p.s. this, obviously, shows how insecure a Mac is, I must sadly admit. Basically everyone can hack every account, even not knowing the password… or maybe I am wrong?

Good tip!

This is not only mac - basically full physical access = full access.
You wouldn't be able to open file vaults though.

I have a small production client looking to run 1 workstation running Mac Lion 10.7.3 and two work stations running Windows7 64 bit. They will all be talking to the same storage array through 8Gb FC. What is there most cost effective way to do this?

Thank you for your help.
The client has already made the jump to 8Gb including HBA's, switch and RAID Storage.
The other question will be if they need a seperate Mac Server to run the Meta Data or are they able to use the current Mac they are running to do this?
The Mac is a 201073 model they say with 12 Dual Core 2.66Mhz processors and 16 GB of Memory. This system is currently doing rendering. It has the XSAN Client but I understand for the solution to work they need to also run XSAN Server on a MDC.

Corrupt Data File Quicken 2007 for Mac (Lion)

Bought QM 2007 for Mac (Lion compatible) and without touching my personal data file, opened a new file and immediately got the "...corrupt data in data file" message. I've tried everything I could find including: trashing the Quotes file, my old Quicken 2006 app, removing any 3vix files, intuit preferences, etc. Nothing helped. I then ran QM2007 on Snow Leopard with my old data file, and after trashing the Quotes file, it worked. So I saved this file and transfered it to my Lion machine, trashed the quotes file. Same error, ...data corrupted. Thinking it's my Lion machine, I opened it in Safe mode...no help. Created a new account...no help. Imported .qif file..no help. I've searched the Quicken forum...no help. I'm very desparate; anyone have any ideas?
Mac OS X 10.7.5, Mac Pro (2012), Quicken 2007 for Mac (Lion) 16.1.4.

Thanks, Baltwo. I'm convinced it's something about my Lion installation that's the cause, since others as yourself seem to be OK—although I haven't been able to run it down. The Quicken 2007 is a fresh installation, each time I try out a new approach, I reinstall the software. Now perhaps it's accumulating some ancillary file that doesn't get trashed, but I can't run that down. I did find something interesting in my systematic search for a cause, and that is that when i install it on my Snow Leopard machine, it works fine with a new, unpopulated data file. But if I re-index my Q 2006 file, trash my Quotes file, then import it into QM 2007, the "corrupt data error" comes up. So I know everything (the QM 2007-Lion) works in Snow Leopard without prior re-indexing the data file, just not in Lion. So I saved my data file that worked in the Snow Leopard version (so it's now a QM 2007-Lion file), try to open it on my Lion machine with a new QM 2007-Lion install, and the corrupt data error appears. As I said above, opening in Safe mode, creating a new account, running my disk through Disk Utility and fixing permissions, nothing has worked so far.
So I bit the bullet and created a Snow Leopard virtual machine (Server version) with my Parallels, and it finally works, including downloading my investment, credit card, etc. accounts. Now I can move on with my taxes, but I'm still perplexed why Lion won't let me run it. I don't like my SL VM because Parallels won't permit coherence, so it's kind of kludgy.
That's my story after many hours of troubleshooting. I hope this helps someone else with the same problem. Thanks for trying to help.

Mac Lion Version 10.7.3 not Restoring Windows after force quite

I am getting following error after opening Ooo (Open Office org)
"The application “OpenOffice.org” was forced to quit while trying to restore
its windows. Do you want to try to restore its windows again?"
And nothing is happening after pressing both available button "Restore Windows"
or "Don't Restore Windows".
Even when i am trying to shot down my system Ooo stops me for doing that.
I have to force quite it before restarting/shutting down my system.
Nothing is happening when i am trying to opening any doc or xls file i am
getting same window every time.
I have also tried to install new updated version of Ooo, but problem still
exist.
Steps I followed.
1- Selecte OOo from application list and Make move to trash.
2- Selecte OOo folder from /Users/Fauad/Library/Application Support and make
move to trash.
3- Empty the trash.
4- Install OOo new version.
5- Run it
I have read post about command for terminal like rm -rf .DS_Store
i have tried running it in Appplication, Library/Application support, or on Desktop as well but nothing changed.
As far as i remember the problem is because i have forced quite all open application before shtting down my system.
Please help me how to solve this problem.

Fixed it.
It is OS based problem, since MAC Lione store application state when closing
it.
Solution Steps:
1- Move to trash OOo from application folder.
2- The Library folder is hidden by default so use chflags nohidden ~/Library/
command to unhide it.
3- Move to trash all files which contains OOo in there name from users Library
folder and sub folders.
4- Reinstall OOo.
5- Launch Working

Delay while opening my mac lion 10.7.2 ?taking about 4 minuits to open up..:((

Hi,
Hope somebody will help me..It takes about 4 minuits to start up my mac lion 10.7.2..how can i speed up that?

thank you macjack...
are you sure?
Yes, I'm sure you will run faster with more RAM. I didn't mean it's the solution to your boot time problem, I said it wasn't helping. It also depends which part of the startup sequence is talking so long. If it boots fairly quickly to your Desktop picture, then as Allan says, there may be apps opening.
There is a "Resume" feature in Lion which will open apps in the same state they were in when you shut down the last time. Is this happening? Open apps are indicated by a blue dot under their icons in the Dock.
Or you Mac could be searching for your startup disk, which was mentioned.
Do a restart then go to /Applications/Utilities/Console.log and post the section of your "All Messages" log from the time of startup to the time it's loaded. i.e. those 4 minutes.
