My printer is a Samsung ML-2010R. Still looking for a driver solution to run Mac OS X Lion through a new Macbook Pro. Previously, I was running Mac Os X version 10.5.8 through this printer on a 4 yr old Macbook. Any further help is most appreciated:-) Humbly, bowiej
Apple seems to be naming their operating sytems usability based on the respective turd size of the feline in question. Lions are big, very, very, very big.
I had a system that served me well for 2 years until I mistaking bought a new machine which runs mega-turd (Lion). Foolish me, now nothing works properly, its a daily struggle to get anything working smoothly using my NEW mac mini. All my other machines work fine, even the windows machines and my Android tablet see all the network components and can talk to each other.
My Internet service is over 3g which I share to the house using internet sharing via my brand new €800 mac mini running POS Lion, everytime the service is interrupted, Kaboom, the mini resets the DHCP server, but doesn't seem to refresh any of the components so connections drop everywhere.
Its amateur hour at Apple folks.
There are several posts alone relating to internet sharing, I have submitted a bug report relating to the non user controllable DHCP server (which may be at fault), but the response / solution from Apple was lacklustre and ultimately didn't work.
See this, there are some work around's in there;

I have a MacBook running Mac OS X Version 10.4.11 which I purchased in 2006/2007.
Should I purchase a new computer?
I'm planning on purchasing Adobe Creative Suite 4 or 5 and overall I want to make sure my computer (Internet, etc.) is up-to-date.Snow Leopard requires 1gb of RAM too. It sounds like you already have the minimum.
What model of Mac Book do you have? Go to the "Apple" in the upper left hand corner and select "About This Mac". Then click "More Info" and check "Model Identifier" in "System Profiler" is it a 1,1, or 2,1?
You can upgrade the RAM to 2gb in either one for about $40 http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/memory/MacBook/DDR2/
If you like the MacBook I would stick with it. I'm running an older MacBook with CS3 on it and it runs fine for me.
The iMac is a desktop computer not a laptop. With it you get a bigger screen and the ability to hold more RAM and a bigger hard drive. It wouldn't be that much better for running software than a new MacBook or MacBook Pro would be. -

Upgrade Paths to Snow Leopard, Lion, and/or Mountain Lion
You can upgrade to Mountain Lion from Lion or directly from Snow Leopard. Mountain Lion can be downloaded from the Mac App Store for $19.99. To access the App Store you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.6 or later installed.
Upgrading to Snow Leopard
You must purchase Snow Leopard through the Apple Store: Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard - Apple Store (U.S.). The price is $19.99 plus tax. You will be sent physical media by mail after placing your order.
After you install Snow Leopard you will have to download and install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 to update Snow Leopard to 10.6.8 and give you access to the App Store. Access to the App Store enables you to download Mountain Lion if your computer meets the requirements.
Snow Leopard General Requirements
1. Mac computer with an Intel processor
2. 1GB of memory
3. 5GB of available disk space
4. DVD drive for installation
5. Some features require a compatible Internet service provider;
fees may apply.
6. Some features require Apple’s MobileMe service; fees and
terms apply.
Upgrading to Lion
If your computer does not meet the requirements to install Mountain Lion, it may still meet the requirements to install Lion.
You can purchase Lion by contacting Customer Service: Contacting Apple for support and service - this includes international calling numbers. The cost is $19.99 (as it was before) plus tax. It's a download. You will get an email containing a redemption code that you then use at the Mac App Store to download Lion. Save a copy of that installer to your Downloads folder because the installer deletes itself at the end of the installation.
Lion System Requirements
1. Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7,
or Xeon processor
2. 2GB of memory
3. OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
4. 7GB of available space
5. Some features require an Apple ID; terms apply.
Upgrading to Mountain Lion
To upgrade to Mountain Lion you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 or Lion installed. Purchase and download Mountain Lion from the App Store. Sign in using your Apple ID. Mountain Lion is $19.99 plus tax. The file is quite large, over 4 GBs, so allow some time to download. It would be preferable to use Ethernet because it is nearly four times faster than wireless.
OS X Mountain Lion - System Requirements
Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Mountain Lion
1. iMac (Mid 2007 or newer)
2. MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer)
3. MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer)
4. MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer)
5. Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer)
6. Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer)
7. Xserve (Early 2009)
Are my applications compatible?
See App Compatibility Table - RoaringApps.
Am I eligible for the free upgrade?
See Apple - Free OS X Mountain Lion upgrade Program.

I have a iMac running: Mac OS X Version 10.4.11. I have had this since it was new. Can I update it to the latest OS? The computer is very slow now and I want to speed it up.
Hi GLNavigator,
Check your system to see if they meet the requirements for these OSes:

My imac5.1 Intel Core 2 Duo 2.16Ghz 2GB memory is running mac OS 10.4.11 can I upgrade this operating system on my machine to enable me to upgrade browsers etc.? What is the latest OS system and would it work on my machine?
Although you can go to 10.7 Lion, I suggest buying 10.6 Snow Leopard which you need anyway.
It seems that you can go to 4GB memory, which may help. If you do want to try Lion, it's not in the online store, but should be available by calling & paying to get a redemption code.
You should check compatibility of any existing software before considering Lion. -

I am trying to get my system current. I am now running Mac OS X, version 10.6.8 (I believe this is "Snow Leopard"). What should I upgrade to?
The current system is OS X 10.8 which is downloadable from the App store, which you can upgrade to directly if your system meets the system requirements. Note that starting with OS X 10.7, PowerPC-based programs will no longer run. So, for example, people with Office 2004 got surprised when they upgraded and found that the older Office programs would no longer run. Newer Office programs are OK.

I am currently running mac os x version 10.5.8 can I download OS X Mountain Lion directly or do I have to go back and download snow leopard and lion before I can download Mountain lion?
http://www.apple.com/osx/how-to-upgrade/
Snow Leopard is a requirement. Mountain Lion will only be offered via the App Store and the App Store requires 10.6.6 (at least). -
