Mac OS X Lion and sharing hard disc
Hi,
I have iMac with Mac OS X Snow Leopard and I used sharing of external hard discs where I have pictures and movies for my multimedia player. In Leopard it was so easy - just choose folder or hard disk, click info and put a sing on sharing and that was it. No need for passwords, usernames or anything else. They I instaled Mac OS Lion and all the **** gone wrong. The sharing like in Leopard doesnt work anymore, it just asking for CIFS user name and password. Nothing is working and nothing can be done, I tried hundered times. Now, I am back on Leopard as it is easier to use and no solution is provided still 10.7.2. patch is out but no difference.
Anybode has a clue what can be done to get sharing on Lion to working? Tried diferent solutions on google but no luck.
thanks
well, first thing i would do is update to 10.7.1 see if that helps at all
also right click on the doc. folder and get yourself to SHOW VIEW option
see if everything there is checked to assist in the way you want things
i don't claim to be any kind of expert but, i would strongly suggest checking all your preferences..customization seems to be a pretty strong suit in Lion
in system prefs there are a lot of places to check/uncheck as far as gestures!!
also read some of the tips from TUAWB & Cult of Mac..good tips there
good luck! don't give up New is always a pain at first, but think how great you will feel having mastered this new process!!
Here's a reference for the other ones:
BTW, i changed the scrolling from opposite to same direction scrolling
( check/uncheck Scroll direction / NATURAL) also found in prefs
1 Finger Gestures
Tap to Click
Cursor movement Up/down Left/Right
2 Finger Gestures
Scroll Up/Down Left/Right
Secondary Click - Tap
Zoom - Pinch / Spread
Smart Zoom - Double tap
Rotate - Rotate
Forward/Back Pages - Swipe Left/Right
3 Finger Gestures
Look up Definition - Tap
Drag Drag
4 Finger Gestures
LaunchPad - Pinch
Show Desktop - Spread
Mission Control - Swipe Up
Expose - Swipe down
Swap Desktops - Swipe Left/Right
* Some Definitions can be Changed in System Preferences
The following options are now in System Preferences > Universal Access > Mouse and TrackPad tab > Trackpad options….
Double click speed
Scroll speed
Scroll with inertia
Drag Lock
Ignore built in Trackpad

Downloading mountain lion damaged my hard disc. I took my Mac Pro to apple store. They are unable to repair it and suggest I purchase a new hard disc for $160. It was a perfectly functioning Mac Pro that got damaged by downloading mountain lion.
Software upgrades do not generally damage hardware; your drive's failure must be co-incidental. On most MBP's, a hard drive is very easily replaced by a user. You might want to check out this site for both hard drives as well as install videos (check which model you have so you can check the correct video):

hard drives:

I just recently upgraded my MBP with an SSD; I purchased an kit with an external enclosure from OWC and cloned the current drive to the new one, installed the new drive and was done in no time. -
I have a macbook pro, and the hard disc recently crashed. I lost everthing, but luckily i have my music saved on my ipod nano. How can I now transfer my music from my nano to my mac for free?
Hi there ovadia!
You can transfer the music purchased by your iTunes account from your iPod nano to your MacBook Pro by following the steps outlined in this article:

Time Capsule and external Hard Disc
Hi,
I have a problem with my Time Capsule (1 TB) and External Hard Disc (1 TB). The external HD is connected via USB. The idea is to have use the device as a shared HD in my network. First it worked perfect. After upgrading to Snow Leopard i have following problem.
Once the external HD is turned on my Time Capsule is not longer recognized. I can't connect to Time Capsule and make any backups. It is also no longer appearing in the Airport settings.
Can anybody help?
Thank you.Emma1609 wrote:

you could try a power cycle on your devices. turn off modem, TC, and HD for, say, 10 minutes. turn the modem back on for 2 minutes, followed by the HD, followed by the TC.
then go airport utility > manual setup > disks. see if your HD is showing beneath the TC -
I want to pass my iMAC along to my kids. System is 10.4.11. Have original Lion and Tiger OS discs. What do I need to do to set it up for a new user?
I'm having to guess at which iMac you have. This forum covers three older variants of the iMac family that were made from 1998-2005 with three different processor types.
If yours has a G-series processor, it can run neither Lion 10.7 nor Snow Leopard 10.6. If the processor is a G5 or a G4 (must be faster than 867mHz( you can install Leopard 10.5. If your plan is to reinstall the OS before turing over the computer, let us know which iMac you have (doing "About this Mac" from the Apple menu will give the processor type--that will do for this purpose)
If "About this Mac" says you have an Intel processor, you have a much newer iMac. Let us know and I can ask the Hosts to move it to that separate forum.
If you wish to maintain control over the computer, you can go to System Preferences > Accounts and set up a new standard account. The user logged into that acct can pretty much use anything installing in that account but cannot install new software or modify the system. That means less chance of something bad getting on the computer but also means they wil be asking you to help install stuff as they won't have access.
If you wish to give the kids full control, set up a new account with admin priveleges, then either strip content form your account and leave it, or simply delete it once you are satisfied that the new accout is working.
This Apple support page is chock-full of helpful tips on manageing accounts and security in OS10.4 Tiger"

New Mac Pro with Lion and can't install FCP.
I got a new Mac Pro with Lion and can't install FCP that worked fine in SL. Is it not compatible? Is it really a PowerPC program??? I'm a videographer and rely on this software and to spend $300 to continue to use it after spending a lot more for this software 4 years ago! Tell me this is not the case and there is a solution to installing FCP.
How to run FCP 6 (FCS 2) under Lion.
The installer for FCP 6 (FCS 2) is a PPC app. The Programs themselves are Intel. If your trying to install FCP 6 (FCS 2) this work-around will work...
First you need to install Rosetta from your Snow Leopard OS installation disc:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.6/en/27987.html
After doing that you can install FCP 6 (FCS 2). Remember, after installing FCP 6 (FCS 2) you need to apply the updates. This has been discuss many times in the Final Cut Studio forum.
If your trying to install FCP version 5.1 (FCS 1) (a PPC app) and below your out of luck....

If I buy a mac with mountain lion and then upgrade to mavericks will I get iWork for free.
If you buy a new Mac with Mountain Lion, any included software is free and can be redownloaded from AppStore for that machine only. Some software only gets reinstalled if OS X (only) gets installed over itself to fix issues. See #8 Step here.
..Step by Step to fix your Mac
If you upgrade to Mavericks usually only OS X itself is changed (sometimes the hidden User Library is also), all the software (and user accounts) also carries over (compatible or not), and Apple's software is upgraded.
So if your new Mountain Lion Mac comes with free iWork, then when you upgrade to Mavericks it will still be there.
If your new Mountain Lion does not come with free iWork, then it won't magically appear for free if you upgrade to Mavericks.
If you need a free Office suit, I suggest you look at the donationware LibreOffice.
You will likely need to control key or right click to "Open" LibreOffice to approve through OS X's "Gatekeeper".
You will need to manually update it also, as it's not on AppStore.
https://www.libreoffice.org/
Benefit of LibreOffice is it's completely cross-platform compatible, so you can share working files with Windows and Linux users, which you can't with iWork.
You also should learn Microsoft Office when you have the funds, because it's standardized in the business world. -
My current os x is 10.9.5, using final cut express vers. 4.0.1. I have imported .mov clips created on a older mac os x (lion) and when I wanted to import them into fce, a quicktime conversion window opened up and converted them (I haven't experienced this in the past). I then imported the converted quicktime clips into my fce project. After doing this I took selected clips and put those edited clips on the fce timeline. When playing the video back in the fce timeline,I noticed
1) the video wasn't playing back smoothly like the original content
2) when looking at the timecode reading of the timeline, the timecode was sputtering as well as the video and audio. I exported to quicktime just to see if that was consistent, it was.
When I play the converted quicktime content independently of fce, it plays normally (no sputtering of timecode, video and audio. Need help to resolve the sputtering playback of converted video content in the fce timeline. I've never experienced this before. Any suggestions?When you say you converted the clips before importing them into FCE, did you convert to AIC or DV and do the converted clips match your FCE Sequence settings exactly? If not, go back and convert the original files again, using the intended Sequence settings as a guide.

I downloaded Mac OS X Lion and when I go to install, it says file cannot be verified, may have been corrupted during download. How do I determine if it is corrupt and how do I get a clean copy of Lion, since I have already paid for it?
Download again, move the existing file out of the applications folder first.

Incorrect link to "OS X: How to migrate data from another Mac using Mountain Lion and earlier". Should be http://support.apple.com/kb/HT6025
I think the OP is saying OS X: How to migrate data from another Mac using Mountain Lion and earlier (which should be a link to HT4889) just links back to OS X: How to migrate data from another Mac using Mavericks (HT5872).
It does indeed do that, & HT4889 seems to be MIA. -
I just upgraded my mac with Mountain Lion and turned on iCloud. Now all of the music stored on my mac shows up on my iphone. My question is, if I listen to this music on my iphone am I using up my data plan?
No, if you are using the Music app you are playing them on your iPhone.
