OS X Lion CardDAV Issue

I am trying to implement CardDAV as I previously had done successfully on OS X 10.6.8 (Snow Leopard) , however, for some reason the iPhone will not update with the contacts in Address Book.
I have opened the Address Book ports on the Airport Extreme.
I still have Snow Leopard running on the first hard drive in the server, and when I boot with it, CardDAV works fine.
Note: when adding the CardDAV account on iPhone 4 (4.2.1) the credentials are accepted and the account is added to the phone, however, the list will not update.

can you please tell me how you added carddav to the system. I have 10.6.8 and cannot get it to take any of my settings.

I just restored my 13" MBP i5 at the apple store to the newest version of Lion after issues with a previous Time Machine backup from Snow Leopard- this time I created a new account and just ported files and folders, and now MS Office doesn't work. Help?

I just restored my 13" MBP i5 at the apple store to the newest version of Lion after issues with a previous Time Machine backup from Snow Leopard- this time I created a new account and just ported files and folders, and now MS Office doesn't work.
^^ that's the main problem. Here's the full history.
I bought a new 13" i5 MBP, early 2011 edition. I had an old white Macbook 2.14 ghz core2duo on Snow Leopard. I attempted to port over my time machine backup, but encountered problems in that my User was inaccessible from the new computer after the import finished, and I had to go in and change the root password, etc, and for some reason or another, I couldn't install any programs at all from that administrator's account. By "couldn't" I mean I could install them, but upon installation they would never boot. So, I took it to the apple store and did a clean install from the most up to date Lion OSX. Then, I created a brand new admin account, instead of trying to import the old one, and things seemed great. Then, I just imported my old files from the TM backup, but not any system settings, permissions, or user data. Just my Docs, pics, vids, apps, and itunes stuff.
Here's where things get weird again. I imported this stuff under the name "old", but all of these folders have a red negative sign on them, marking them as restricted. So, from my main admin account, I cannot even peruse these folders. Since I didn't import user data, I can't sign in to the "old" account to change permissions. I already tried to change the permissions from system preferences, but that didn't change anything. And now, for whatever reason, of all the apps that were imported then, MS Office is the only set of apps that does not work. When I click on it, it just says there was a problem and asks if I'd like to send a report to apple. I tried reinstalling it to no avail. I'm an English student, so i really need access to Word. Can anyone help? The Apple store is a major detour for me and would like to fix this issue myself.

Most likely you have Office 2004 which are PPC-only applications and will not work in Lion. Upgrade to Office 2011. Other alternatives are:
Apple's iWork suite (Pages, Numbers, and Keynote.)
Open Office (Office 2007-like suite compatible with OS X.)
NeoOffice (similar to Open Office.)
LibreOffice (a new direction for the Open Office suite.)

Safari 6.2 does NOT work in Mountain Lion; huge issues

Question is does anyone have any ideas about this.
Also my purpose is to WARN people NOT to upgrade to 6.2!!!
15" mid-2013 MBPr running 10.8.5. Upgraded to Safari 6.2 today and regret it mightily (this is why I rarely upgrade until FORCED). Immediately, could not open most of my Google docs or Gmail. Kept getting this dialog:
"This error has been reported to Google and we'll look into it as soon as possible. Please reload your page to continue."
But I couldn't reload--the error kept continuing. Endless loop of click Ok and it comes back. Plus, got colored spinning beach ball hangs on MANY other sites (including ironically Apple site to go to support forums). and every 3 seconds "webpages have stopped
NONE OF THIS was going on with the same tabs opened in 6.1.x or whatever it was before that. It was slow, but otherwise worked.
I tried to use Time Machine to go back to my last Safari app and of course got the message that Safari is necessary system software and could not be replace.
After trying to get through to tech support twice and getting disconnected (???) I got someone who told me it would NOT be possible in any way to downgrade to previous version of Safari.
I was further informed that "we cannot test new versions of browsers to work with all apps and be sure their functionality is not broken." I said "I would think Google, though, might be kind of a priority as one you would test." it's not like it's an OSCURE APP.
I was also told to upgrade to Mavericks so i could just use safari 7.1. I do NOT want to upgrade to Mavericks for very specific reasons (not the least of which, besides this situation which happens all too frequently, is that there are other things that are broken in Mavericks as i can see on my 13" retina Macbook, particularly with Apple Mail, which I find very annoying, and other functionalities and interface things that I find less friendly in Mavericks). I have one Mavericks machine and I want one Mountain Lion machine. Period. This should be OK.
I asked for a supervisor when the guy suggested i simply use a different browser like Firefox or Chrome. Are you KIDDING me? That's your answer?
I use Chrome and Safari each for specific work things and Firefox for all personal. THat is how I organize my stuff. I edit Google docs related to one client's work in Safari. THat is where my permissions are to access those docs.
I said that any released version Safari should work with major, hugely popular business apps and I should not have to SWITCH AWAY FROM SAFARi. If you are suggesting i NOT USE SAFARI, then it shouldn't be released. Period.
The supervisor told me that I could downgrade only by downgrading my whole system. Only way. (I later realized after I hung up--unless you can tell me otherwise--that means restoring my whole hard drive, NOT just my system,? Like FULL Time Machine restore of everything. If I could do JUST he system, I'd do it.)
He also said that it was "possible I could get Safari 6.2 working with Google docs" IF I "played around with settings and preferences in Safari."
Um. I said, prompting him, ahem…since I called in for support, perhaps you could work with me to give me some ideas of what those settings or changes might be, rather than have me "randomly play with" it?
He reluctantly did so, screen sharing with me, had me do all the things I;d already tried (restring Safari, restarting computer, etc), closing and opening those docs. He saw the error message through screen sharing. he could not explain it. We played around with opening the docs from Drive or email instead of from the bookmarked tabs.
Sometime into the call, it stopped doing it. We never knew why. So he thought we'd solved it (even though no explanation for why it had been, never identified a consistent source). He said "well, so Safari 6,2 DOES work." But after we hung up, it started doing it again. Mainly with Google (error message) but also with other sites (beach ball hangs). I will not bother calling back. I guess I either cant use Safari or need to restore my whole system to get old one back (again, I don't want to go to Mavericks on this machine).
Anyone got ideas?
What i find more concerning than the thing not working (which isn't insignificant ) is the lack of care and lack of knowledge that is now consistently apparent when I call for help, compared to how consistently awesome it used to be.
Sad.
I would appreciate any insights anyone has gleaned re this issue. And again I caution against 6.2.   My machine works great otherwise, Safari worked fien before the upgrade, and NO, i DO NOT have any anti-virus software!

Happy to. It's below.
Not everyone hijacked this thread thread btw--Danabeck for example said having EXACT same problem I am. Furthermore, the Sharepoint "fix" that worked, then stopped working is pretty weird.
and whatever is going on, it wasnt in Safari 6.1 with very same system. But sure--if something unneeded is causing problem with 6.2, I'd be delighted to dump it.

Mac Pro w/ Lion Having Issues

Every since I upgraded my early 2009 Mac Pro 2.66 Quad-core Xeon, I've been having some strange issues.
For example, my accounts were set to log out after a certain amount of time of inactivity. By the time the account logged out, my display would have gone to sleep. When I woke my display to login by clicking the mouse or pressing a key on the keyboard, my display would only show about a quarter of an inch around the mouse pointer. When I further moved the mouse pointer, the display only drew where the pointer had gone.
Now my accounts simply lock after a period of inactivity. When I unlock the account, the translucent menu bar on the top of the screen shows a different desktop picture than the rest of the screen. When the desktop either changes or I change to another workspace, the menu bar will change also and match the rest of the screen.
Also, I've been having a lot of issues with my DVD program accepting the disks that are loaded into the player. The only way to get the DVD player to accept the DVD is to restart the computer (logging out works sometimes, but not all of the time.)
On a different note, my Mac Pro does not go to sleep by itself and hasn't since the summer of 2009. I've tried everything including turning all network connections off -- nothing has helped. I have to put my Mac Pro to sleep manually. Strangely, my Mac Pro sleeps just fine with Windows 7. Hmmm...
I've performed about three clean installs of Lion hoping that would resolve the issues I'm experiencing. Clean installs didn't help.
I wonder if maybe my video card is getting old and causing some of these issues -- particularly those issues related to the display.
Below are my specs:
Mac Pro
Early 2009
Processor: 2.66 GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon
Memory: 8 GB 1066 MHz DDR3 EEC
Graphics: NVIDIA GeForce GT 120 512 MB
Software: OS X Server Lion 10.7.2 (11C74)

That sounds like several different issues, and some of them pre-date Lion. Upgrading is unlikely to ever solve pre-existing problems and more likely to further exacerbate them.
One the 'no sleep' problem. Do you mean the display or the hard disk sleep? I'm assuming you've already looked at the settings in Energy saver. It sounds to me like you have something running in the background that is preventing the hard disk from sleeping. Lots of programs can do this, including iTunes, Transmission or anything that causes hard disk activity. If you can't think of anything that is obviously running, have a look in your login items ( > System Preferences > Users & Groups | Login Items) for some background process (little snitch? clamxav? or anything that scans your system).

Upgraded from Snow Leopard to Lion, SMB issues - incorrect password

This is a very frustrating issue, and its affecting my work now.
Basically I used to use the SMB sharing quite a lot in work, it was an ideal way for our clients to get to data off my MBP and worked like a dream in OSX 10.6
I was an early adopter, and upgraded to Lion on release date. Problem is now, I have SMB sharing switched on, but no user accounts enabled. When I tick to enable one I get "Incorrect password" (see picture)
I tried disabling SMB and it again prompted me for my password, and to no avail, I got "incorrect password" again.
I updated to 10.7.1, and STILL unresolved. I am very disappointed that this, as well as the Guest account being disabled if you have FileVault enabled (which is a requirement of my employer due to the sensitive nature of the data we handle). I experience persistent Kernel panics triggered by my MBP switching from the Intel HD graphics to the Nvidia chipset, I am extremely frustrated and disappointed overall.

I mistakedly posted this to another topic. It's something that worked for me, I hope it to be of help to others as well.
Try the following:
1. Create a Sharing Only account through "Users & Groups" preference pane, assign a password to the account. Suppose we you create an account named "mike".
2. In Network select your interface, go to Advanced and then WINS. Under Workgroup set the default WORKGROUP and under NetBIOS Name set whatever suits you (let's assume you put "imac").
3. Now go to Sharing select a folder to share and add the "mike" user account you just created for sharing-only purpose, go to Options tick the checkbox for SMB and then for the "mike" account and enter its password when asked for it.
4. When accessing the shares from Windows box enter username in format "imac\mike" and the password for the account.
This should set you up for accessing your Mac shares from your Windows machine.
There still is a problem with adding ad hoc sharing account from the Sharing preference pane, a bug hopefullly resolved in some of the upcoming updates.

Lion Server issues

I recently set up a Lion Server to test it out as a home server but I seem to be running into a lot of issues. All computers are running OS X 10.7.2
What I'm attempting to accomplish:
I'm attempting to create a network test user with a remote home folder (on the server) and log in to that test users account from my macbook pro. I would like that account to use mobile sync to copy over documents and pictures whenever the user logs on and off. I would also like to be able to VPN into my server while out and about to screen share & share files. This test user is simply for testing purposes as of now, once I get it all working I want to set this same config up for my current local users.
What I've done:
I've configured the server to manage domain accounts, and given my server a static IP of 192.168.1.105. I configured it's hostname as a Internet hostname and registered that hostname with Dyndns.com pointing to my External IP address. I also set up my Linksys router with the DynDNS information so that it updates my Dyndns account with my external IP, and port forwarded every VPN port on Apple's list of ports. Server admin tools have been installed, DNS is turned on, and its configured as an Open Directory Master. My macbook pro's dns settings are configured so that it sends everything through the server, and the server is set up to forward all inquries out of my router that it isnt authoritative for. The MBP is bound to the Open Directory and is allowing network accounts to log in. I set up a shared folder on the server that can be used as a home folder.
Issues I've run into:
My network account (Test user) cant log in on my MBP unless it creates a local home folder, which I dont want it to do (i want it to use the shared folder i set up on the server). When I attempt to log in I either get an error, or it shakes, not allowing it to log in. I cannot get the VPN to work, but I'm not too worried about it at this point, I'd rather get the users up and running first. I've spent a ton of time attempting to figure this out and its getting very frustrating. I followed the setup guide provided by wegotserved.com and anandtech.com. If anyone has any suggestions, or see's something I'm doing wrong I appreciate any input.

Yeah, I can log into the server using the OD account I created called test user just fine, I just cant get on my wireless client (macbook pro) with the OD test user account.

OS X Mountain lion download issues

Hi, I just purchased OS X Mountain Lion from the app store.
The download started ok, then my internet connection dropped (which is the issue I am trying to sove for as all my other Apple devices are fine and dandy when it comes to wifi connection except my iMac on OS X 10.7.5) and the download icon dissapeared from launchpad.
I went back to the app store, downloaded it again and now it's permanently stuck "waiting" even with the wifi on.
Any tips/tricks for making this download actually happen? Thanks in advance for any help.

This has worked for some.
- Sign out of the App Store (in the Store menu)
- Quit the App Store
- In Finder - Go>Go to folder... (or Apple-shift-G)
- Paste in the following "~/Library/Caches/ "
- It will take you to a folder. Delete com.apple.appstore
- Launch the App Store. Sign in and then reclick the Mountain Lion buy. It won't charge you again.

Why apple has not fixed or atleast responded to users on LION Overheating issue???

I am having a MacBook Pro 13 bought last year.
I was happy with my snowleopard but, my friend sugested to upgrade to LION, paid all money and upgraded to LION,
Within a week overheating started, and it was difficult to keep it on my lap.
I have tried all the tricks mentioned in apple communities and other websites to solve this heat ,, sorry OVERHEATING issue .. but no benefit....
My MacBook Pro 13 had been thouroughly checked in apple serivce centre and no hardware issue had been found for the heat issue... so its LION only...
Also to mention that i use very less number of applications opened at a time, like firefox, chrome and itunes. So the heating is not due to usage of heavy applications .
After searching the whole interenet and apple community forum, i am surprised to see that there is no response from anyone in apple.. dont they periodically check what apple users are facing.. ?? dont they monitor the apple community so that they can fix the issues before it gets out of hand.....
I think Apple doesnt care on whats happening in Apple community portal, so we all are on our on...
I had a very good impression abt apple. until before upgrading to Lion... crap my MONEY IS GONEEE.
For anyone who got solution for this issue, other than the trick to delete Citrix plugin, disable spotlight etc, I am ready to welcome any new WORKING solution for this OVERHEATING...

@@ds store i am thinking the same now...
@@Eric. i did trying that 2 weeks back itself.. no improvement
@@OGELTHORPE i already have the iStat Pro. this we can monitor the heat. thats it.. this wont solve the issue.
hmmm dont know.. if i dont get a solution by today i am gonna go back to snow leopard...
Why to burn my aptop hardware due to the stupid LION's overheating....

MBA lion Mail issue: window disappears randomly

hello:
Having some MBA 13' mail issues:
1) mail window will disappear (only using cmd+0 shortcut will bring it back - or going to window>message viewer) randomly without any reason
2) starting up a new email or new note then closing this note or email will close the entire message viewer window...why?
3) emails deleted within the 'inbox' section will not delete in the Gmail section (setup as IMAP, with Gmail defaults)
I am a little concerned with 1 & 2 becuase these are huge user experience issues, it is the most frustrating thing to have to continually use the short cut to open up a window which should not have disappeared in the first place!!
any help would be appreciated, thanks in advance!

Hi Fred
I've got the same issue. It seems to happen randomly but so annoying when it does. Upgrading to Mountain Lion hasn't helped and I've changed my keyboard and reset all the short-cuts to the default settings and still it happens in Mail and Microsoft Outlook for Mac when I'm typing a mail.
Did you find a solution?

Mountain Lion and Lion wifi issues

Don't start on me about there being multiple threads on that subject already. I was told by a very respected member of these forums to start my own thread on the issue.
Dropping wifi started with Lion and for the last 10 months with ML. I've been in touch with Apple, they called me after reading my old post and had me run test for them with no help. I've done completely clean installs on newly reformatted hard drive and using a USB drive to install ML. It won't connect to wifi to finish install half the time so other software isn't the issue.
I've tried just about every fix posted. A lot of them with Apple on the phone. I've replaced my router knowing that wouldn't fix it because I take my Mac with me and it drops wifi on any router or network.
I have 2 Macs and only one has ever had this issue.
You don't have to believe I've tried everything, that I've had Apple call me or that I even have the issue.
I've been asked to post the names of the engineers that have contacted me. Why would you need to know that in order to believe me, especially if you admit to not knowing any.
All I want to know is there a fix? Yes/No
Remember it doesn't want to connect on a clean install.
P.S.:
For all those looking for reason's not to help me, my dog is yawning in the picture not growling. Yes I've gotten mad on other threads but how many times can you be called a liar just because their fixes didn't work for me or I won't post engineers names.

Thanks for that list.
Out of all you posted I tried everything with Apple on the phone.
I'm the only one who uses this Mac and I constantly check my settings incase something was changed on it's own because of some app. But I'll lock it after retrying everything over again.
I'll be glad to get it down to once every few days again. I haven't complaned about it in a long time because I could live with that. That's where I was before it went back to dropping constantly. Lets face it once a day would be great. I've had to reboot just trying to reply.
I've started taking some live on line courses so it's not just an announce to me. It started again before I started classes.
The 10.8.3 update made it worse. But not enough to go back to 10.8.2.
My mail program is affected the worst. When wifi drops and Mail is running I always have to force quit. I know that's an affect no the cause.
I do have another Genius Bar appointment for that and a couple of other issues. The first time they denied there were any wifi issues until I gave them the names of the engineers that called me with their email addresses and phone numbers. I've since lost their phone numbers but still have their email addresses. I know one was a CA area code and the Main one was from TX. I have emailed them this week but still no reply.
Like I said once it went down to dropping every few days I didn't care any more.
I'll keep you up to date.

Mac OS X Lion WiFi issues

Ever since I have upgraded my late 2009-iMac to Mac OS X Lion 10.7 I have been experiencing issues regarding my WiFi. I'm actually loosing connectivity, as in AirPort seems to keep "refreshing itself" for no apparent reason, and disconnecting my WiFi intermittently each time. It's almost like my WiFi card can't keep a stable connection to my router anymore. This problem is not occuring on my iPhone, which is also connected to the same home network on the N Router. It's constantly halting downloads halfway through, or near to the end, and they have to be restarted and this is infuriating when the download has taken ages!
Even reaching this page now took several refreshes, as Safari keeps coming up with blank pages every now and then telling me I am not connected to the internet.
Has anybody else had problems with Lion dropping WiFi connection constantly?

Hi Guys,
My issue more serious than dropping connections. I CANNOT CONNECT!! I keep getting connection timeout from our all office access points. But anywhere else , i can connect decently.
I joined this company for 6 months now and had no problem whatso ever until 1 day after updating to lion. I HAVE NO IDEA , is it software or hardware!! In boot camp also my wireless is not connecting to routers...I cannot believe it is hardware issue because i can connec to all other networks.
Changing the wireless router config is IMPOSSIBLE. it take me 10 days to get appointment to see the IT guys and they are not going to change anyting on router. I end up buying a wireless usb adapter. It is ******* me off. Any help?

Mountain lion performance issues

After installing 10.8 I am experiencing performance issues...is there anything that needs to be done to my macbook pro to improve usability?

First post in the Mountain Lion forum. Second include some detailed information about your "issue."

Lion spotlight issues

Hi,
I've seen a few related issues in the forums. Here's my problem:
I have a MacBook with 3 partitions. One partition has Lion, one has Snow Leopard, one has Leopard. I need it like this for certain reasons and normally all works fine. But everytime I boot into another partition and come back to Lion it starts reindexing for about 10-15 minutes and slows the computer down significantly. In my Lion partition I have the other 2 partitions added to the privacy tab in Spotlight prefs so it shouldn't matter what changes I make in those partitions right? I have read some posts about Lion reindexing the entire drive after booting up but I don't think it's that extreme for me since it would take hours to reindex the entire drive and my slowdown is about 10 - 15 minutes. I have tried to rebuild my Spotlight index and redo the privacy tab and so far same results. Any thoughts?
Thanks,
rc

You didn't mention if you disabled the Lion partition in Spotlight whe using SL or Leopard. That should be why the re-indexing occurs when in Lion. The Lion filesystem gets modified by the other two OS X versions.

My iTunes match on my MacBook Pro hasn't worked since Mountain Lion install. Tried Apple Tech but all their suggestions didn't solve the issue. Guess I will try them again on Monday. Clearly this is a common problem and a Mountian Lion conflict issue.

iTunes match hasn't worked since Mountain Lion install. Cloud icon keeps striking~ off. Won't upload new tracks to iTunes match. Just the eternal circle of step one, two, freeze....then tries again but never gets completed. Worked fine before Mountain Lion. Apple tech tried over phone for an hour but it didn't solve this issue. See others are in the same boat. Any help with this, please??

Same issue here with a MacBook pro recently upgraded to Mountain Lion. I hadn't tried iTunes Match prior to the upgrade so can't say whether or not it worked previously.
Getting quite frustrated!

MacBook Pro 3,1 (Mid/Late 2007) running Mountain Lion audio issue?

Hello Everyone,
A few months ago, I installed the ML (Golden Master) over my copy of Lion. Lion was running great prior to install. After the upgrade, everything ran perfect, but I was having issues with both Ableton Live, Logic, iTunes and audio/video being played in Safari. The audio would stutter and even 'bit degrade' to a point nothing could be heard anymore. It was the weirdest thing I've ever seen. When running Ableton or Logic, songs would play fine, but randomly, my CPU would start spiking to ridiculously high amounts and audio would cut in and out. I had never had this issue previous to me installing ML. I upgraded multiple times as new updates for ML came out, eventually ending with 10.8.3. None of the updates fixed the issue. I was just curious if anyone else was having this issue with the same MacBook Pro model? Any insight would be great!

I guess I'm confused. I had the ML Golden Master. Isn't that the same as the intial release version? Previous to installing that, I was running Lion. What do you mean by 'erase the boot volume'?
