OSX LION BUGS I HAVE NOTICED

Hi everybody!
Since Lion is out for some time already and all upgrades so far did not fix any of the bugs I am having I decided to make a list of things that are REALLY bothering me.
1.) QUICKLOOK -> when viewing a PDF and pressing the full screen button, the document is alligned vertically. It is impossible to see anything on my MacBook pro 13'' !!! Please let the user choose which way the PDF is going to stretch or just put back horizontal stretch as it was in OSX Snow Leopard.
2.) APP SWITCHER -> Ok this is really messed up.
First, if you cannot put the four finger swipe back then atleast please make a shortcut to just open the app switcher. CMD+TAB doesn't do the job. If pressed and not released it goes all the way to the last app in the switcher which is really annoying.
Second, this is a bit hard to explain. But none the less I will try.
I have some apps that are visible on all spaces. So, when using CMD+TAB to switch from an app open in space 1 to another app open in space 2, the app i switched to is behind all the apps that are assigned to all spaces. This is completely random. Sometimes it works as it should, other times there is a bunch of windows on top of the app that is active.
3.) GAP between spaces in mission control. PLEASE remove it!!!! If you have a fullscreen movie running on monitor 1, and that movie is assigned to all spaces, there is a flickering when switching between spaces. Also, there is some strange fade in effect for icons and windows when switching from space to space. PLEASE REMOVE IT. Its useless and lots of times it fails to fade the open windows or icons so you have to switch to that space once again just to meke it work.
Please Apple take a look at this. And PLEASE fix it!!!

Apple does not read or respond to any threads in the user forums.  I would recommend that you copy and paste everything you typed above and submit it to their  OSX Feedback  : http://www.apple.com/feedback/macosx.html

    Yes.  It won't disturb your user data however a good backup is recommended before updating.

  • I am freeing up some space and am using osx lion, but i have 12gb of back ups, how can i delete these and what are they?

    Gotcha.
    Back-ups are what they are: a safety copy. If you feel you don't need them, you can trash them. They could be of a previous System if you upgraded, or something else. You wont get the full picture from looking at system profiler.
    You may want to look into getting an external drive and offloading some stuff to it.

  • OSX Lion bugs!

    I just loaded OSX Lion and now my computer is slowly failing... MAC mail worked at first but has now crashed, Parallels wont run I need to purchase version 6... I should have listened to the bloggers! More of MY time and money... I miss my Leopard!

    First off, neither Parallels, nor Lion will run on an iMac PPC.  It would be helpful to know what iMac you have.  Click on Apple menu -> About This Mac -> More info and find out your RAM, and your Machine ID.  According to:
    http://roaringapps.com/apps:table/tags/_p/index_tags/_p you need version 6.0.12094 of Parallels to run Lion Smoothly. 
    Check the same website for all your other applications to ensure you have versions known to run smoothly on Lion.

  • I just upgraded to OSX LION and have a problem with "hidden" files

    Okay first please take it easy with me, This is my first iMac and I've had it only 3 days, Everything was working fine until i upgraded to OSX LION, Now I have a problem "Hidden" files on an external hard drive which were visible before the upgrade seem to have vanished.
    Does anyone know what's happened - Did the upgrade delete them somehow (The drive was not connected during the process) or does LION simply hide "Hidden" files, I certainly hope that's the case because there were quite a few files annd I would hate to have lost them permanently.
    Obviously if they are just hidden i would appreciate anyone telling me if\how I can see them again.
    THANK YOU in advance for your help.

    First WOW what a quick response, are Mac users always this quick to help each other out - Never got such a rapid response in all my PC using years.
    Second it is an NTFS drive, Other non-hidden files are still there and still accessible it's just the "hidden" ones that have vanished. As I said this is my first ever Mac so I can't figure out how to unhide them if that is at all possible and if that is in fact what has happened here.

  • Having trouble updating Java Runtime for OSX Lion

    Is anyone having problems updating Java Runtime for OSX Lion?

    I have the same problem.  It is not possible to launch the "Java Preferences" app.  When I do, I get the error message:
    'To open “Java Preferences,” you need to install a Java runtime, but you are not connected to the Internet.'
    I am *most certainly* connected to the internet, since I'm posting to this forum. 

  • After re-installing OSX Lion neither USB Ports work

    I have a Macbook Pro 15" Intel Core i7 Mid 2010 model, I had upgraded from the App Store to OSX Lion and was running ok, but at the time had half the disk partitioned into Windows, so got to the stage that I didn't want Windows so wiped it, and backed up the OSX Partition as I figured why not have a nice fresh OSX Lion install . . . . BIG MISTAKE
    Since I've re-installed OSX Lion I now have no connectivity through the 2 USB Ports, or the SD Card as far as I can tell.
    Since I'm a month out of the warranty I don't exist to Apple Support any more, so I've been trying everything I can think of or any suggestions I can find.
    I've tried the PRAM and SMC resets which obviously don't work, I've tried the old 3+2 key trick - yup, you guessed it, NOTHING.
    I have re-installed Lion 3 times, same deal - feck all is being recognised.
    I've resorted to sticking a small Windows partition on at the moment to make sure it's not hardware issue, not sure what else I've tried?? Oh yeah, took it apart, removed the battery for an hour or so, even tried booting with no battery - nothing.
    Any suggestions other than playing frisbee would be welcome, although, to be fair, I might end up having a game of that if this carries on ...

    Ok, so been to the Genius Bar and basically they went through everything I had done already just to test it, and then also their own in-house hardware test that apparently only they can run, which is fair enough - all tests came back reporting the board in fine condition, and that the SD Card and USB Ports were fine, no errors.
    So, we tested again after another PRAM/NVRAM and SMC Reset - still nothing - so he took it away and ran it on their other diagnostic machine which reset all the firmware and put it all back on again, testing at each stage and yet still nothing.
    Basically I need a new Logic Board which will cost £400-£500 to replace, I know what you're thinking, and I am too, how brilliant is that!! .... Not very, but hey, what can I do?
    Next stop, home insurance, I'm sure I pay you for some reason ... wish me luck!
    Oh, I am going to try one more Lion install, just for the **** of it.

  • Trying to upgrade free Mac OSX Lion

    I have a new MacBook Pro and I am trying to upgrade the free Mac OSX Lion. I have followed the link on the box, filled in the various steps etc.
    I keep on receiving an email requesting me to validate my email address and when I follow the link it either goes to a claim reference or back to the uptodate start page. I have not received an App Code via email and being in South Africa I am battling to find support for this issue.
    I did the uptodate over 24 hours ago and still no email with my App Code. Please advise

  • Do you get final cut pro with osx lion

    I have Snow Leopard and I want to upgrade to OSX Lion. I have seen how much all of the new applications cost separately and was wonder if you get them all in OSX Lion when downloaded. If you did you would save a lot of money!!
    Thanks, please answer.

    No, you do not get FCP with Lion, I'm afraid.
    All the major apps like FCP, Pages, Numbers etc you have to buy unless you already own them from a previous OS X installation, in which case they will, in most cases, all continue to work. You can check which of your existing apps will/won't work on OS X Lion here:

  • Help with re install of OSX  Lion

    I  want to re install a clean copy of Osx Lion, as I have corrupted the sytem permissons.  Does a clean install delete other software that I have installed on my laptop?

    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
    You can press Command and R keys while your Mac is starting and reinstall OS X. It will not delete anything and the problem should be fixed. If not, you will have to erase the disk, so you will lose everything on the drive

  • Access Windows Partition from OSX Lion - Tuxera

    I am running OSX Lion and I have used Tuxera to gain read/write access to my Windows 7 Partition under Bootcamp.
    I am trying to place a shortcut/alias to the desktop in Windows, on my OSX desktop, so I can drop and pickup data there... but the folders have a lock symbol on them, and I cannot seem to be able to write files there. NTFS-3G did not give hte this problem under Snow Leopard.
    Does anyone know how to achieve this?

    Why not make 3 partitions instead? One with your existing OSX installation and all Mac applications, second in NTSF format for Windows system and Windows applications only and the third one in FAT32 for all data (My Documents, etc.) that will be shared by both OS's?

  • Final cut 6 on osx lion?

    Ok so i have brand new MacBook Air 13". i have final cut x but i really want to install my disc copy of final cut studio 2, is there anyway to either reinstal snow leopard or install final cut studio 2 on osx lion? i have tried installing on lion using remote disk on my imac, but it doesnt work.

    I would do a search on this, there are so many threads. Basically if you want to use FCS2 with Lion you will need to install Rossetta from your SL disc. I believe you will also have to put your FCS apps into a seperate folder in your applications folder as there will be a conflict with FCPX.
    As I said, do a search.

  • OSX Lion 10.7.4 issue with Windows shares when renaming folders

    Hi,
    Can anyone tell me if its an known issue when a user logs into a smb share with his AD credentials and when trying to rename a folder which he has permissions to, hes unable to do so and osx prompts for login details. When user enters the correct login it prompts them again and therefore he's unable to rename the folder.
    There are also other folders under the main folder and some of those he's able to rename with no problem so this problem only occurs sometimes.
    AD is on Windows Server 2008 R2 with all updates installed and OSX Lion users also have the latest updates.
    Any help regarding the issue is welcome, thank you!

    I think there's nothing to do with the drive manufacturer,
    I used the macDrive for windows, and format it to HFS(not HFS+)
    Ok,
    Actually I have this folder/files,
    InstallMacOSX.pkg (folder)
    Inside InstallMacOSX.pkg(folder) it has files:
    InstallESD.dmg(using ULTRAISO was burned to dvd)
    This files are NOT included in the burn dvd image:
    Bom
    PackageInfo
    Payload
    Scripts
    This files/folder is outside InstallMacOSX.pkg(folder):
    Distribution(file)
    [TOC].xml(file)
    Resources(folder)
    The original .DMG file was MOsXLeoneDieciSetteDue.dmg(but this is fake, it's a Xar compressed)
    The valid .DMG file is inside the .XAR, so I extracted it, and found those files and folders.
    So, I'll include that in the burned dvd?
    thanks

  • Cannot install acrobat 9 pro updates on osx lion

    Hi,
    I have not browsed through the forums here, so please forgive me if this question had been asked before. Are there known issues between Acrobat 9 Pro and OSX Lion? We have a user who has OSX 10.7.5 and Acrobat 9 Pro. He is not able to update Acrobat as there is no option to do so when he clicks on Help. He tried manually downloading and installing updates but when he is asked to select the copy of Adobe product to update, he only has the option to cancel.
    I installed Acrobat 9 Pro on a Macbook running Mountain Lion and did not encounter any problem installing updates.
    Is this a known issue?
    Thanks,
    M

    Hi, yes, understood that they are different things. However, if I'm to
    rely on the link provided on the first reply then does it follow that 9
    Pro is also not supported on Mountain Lion? I have a MACbook here on OSX
    Mountain Lion, and as I've also mentioned on my first post, I was able to
    install 9 Pro and update it as well.
    It really is just odd that Lion is singled out here. I also checked this
    and there is no mention of problems with updating 9 Pro:
    http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/global/known-issues-mac-os-10.html
    Sorry, but just trying to really find a workaround for this issue right
    now. We though of using X Pro instead but, again, if I rely on the system
    requirements on this link -
    http://www.adobe.com/sea/products/acrobatpro/tech-specs.html - the OSX
    version our user has is still not supported.
    Mac OS
    Intel processor
    Mac OS X v10.5.8 or v10.6.4
    512MB of RAM (1GB recommended)
    1.2GB of available hard-disk space
    1024x768 screen resolution
    DVD-ROM drive
    Safari 4 for Mac OS X v10.5.8; Safari 4 or 5.0.x for Mac OS X v10.6.4
    Thanks.
