OSX Lion is real Slow, was it developed for iPhone apps vs iMac

I'm concerned that the new OSX Lion is developed for the new market of iphones and Apps not the graphics power of a desktop.
All the graphics and tools have slowed down terribly. Even the windows move as you would want for your iphone but not for your computer.
This is terrible. Are there any preferences in OSX lion given to the user to remove some of these terrible programming mistakes.
I have a 3.06 GHZ intel Core 2 Duo
8GB MEmeory
ATI Radeon HD 4850
Mac OS XLion 10.7.2

OS X Lion is developed for Mac's, iOS is developed for iDevices. Although I agree Lion is more iOS like than any other previous version of OS X. What "terrible programming mistakes" are you looking to remove?

Downside of developing for iphone with AIR?

I've developed a few games with flash and have wanted to try my hand at some mobile apps. Most of my games are point and clicks and since I already know AS3, AIR seems to be a pretty good option.
I've asked about Android- which I plan on targeting first- and it appears a major downside is that many AIR apps woud require additional software on older phones and that the required software is a bit of a space hog.
What are the downsides for developing for iphone? Does IOS require special software to play AIR apps? Do they run particularly slowly on the iphone?

Whether Flash would be the best tool might depend a lot on whether you know Flash, what kind of game you're doing, and whether all of the features you need to do can be done. For example, if having Game Center and iAds is vital, then you wouldn't want to use Flash for the time being.
Flash based apps on iOS do include the AIR runtime engine, but it isn't an external engine that gets installed once into the system, each app would have a copy of the engine. That's good, in that you don't have to worry whether someone installing a later app might cause your app to stop working. It does mean that each app is a few megabytes bigger download than the Android equivalent.
On Android, the when a user downloads an AIR based app for the first time, they automatically get given the AIR runtime too. After that, any AIR apps that use the runtime that is already on the device only has to download the app itself, unless the app requires a later version of AIR, in which case the user is prompted to download the later version of AIR. It's not too painful a process.
People have requested that the AIR runtime be part of the APK, and I think that will be done one day, but not in the near future.

Is mac mini 2010 good enough for iphone app development?

I'm planning to get a Mac Mini 2010, with 4GB of ram instead of the default basic 2GB. I'm getting it to do iphone app development. Is this computer going to be sufficient? Are there any caveats I should be aware of?
Thanks!

Hi
I got exactly that setup for exactly that purpose... even the 4GB upgrade Even without the ram upgrade it should still be fine for iPhone app development. I've not run into any problems with mine.
I got my ram upgrade because I want to run Windows inside MacOS using virtualization software - that kinda thing requires lots of ram.
You might want to wait two days though before you buy. Apple has an event on Wednesday (October 20th) and it looks like there will be a lot of focus on Mac, possibly some hardware upgrades and a new version of MacOS.

Will Microsoft Word ever work with OSX Lion?/Worth switching to iWork just for

I have the Microsoft Office Suite that I got with my computer, I want to know if it will work with an eventual Lion update before I consider updating to OSX Lion. I would like nothing more than to be able to update, but don't know if I'm willing to justify paying the 60 for iWork and then the 30 for LIon. Any suggestions either way would be great! I have been looking at the iWork package, but don't know how I feel about making the switch over...

Office 2008 and 2011 run under Lion, but Office 2004 and the Office 2008 installer don't.

I have re-installed OSX Lion and I lost the iLife suite, but from app store I can't download it because there is only a version for OSX 10.9

hello to everyone! I just performed a clean install of OSX Lion on SSD and do not want to restore any backup. But I have lost the iLife suite (iPhoto, iMovie ..): if I try to download it from the app store, it tells me that I need OSX 10.9.. I tried to search all previous versions but they are only upgrade.
thanks to everyone

That suggests you've already upgraded to the new versions and downloaded them. Contact Apple Support for assistance:

CAN I USE EPSON TX 110 FOR MY MAC.BOOK AIR OSX LION, CAN I USE EPSON TX 110 FOR MY MAC.BOOK AIR OSX LION

I SEARCH THE EPSON SITE AND CANNOT FIND ANY DRIVERS FOR OSX LION
PLEASE HELP

Try these:
Even better, here is a link to a page with all the versions, if you click the version name a description will be displayed, find the correct one for your Mac and version of Windows.
Finally this page contains a model by model breakdown of which version of Windows will run on which model of Mac.
And yes, I plagiarized this from CSound1.

HT201272 I was re-charged for an app that I re-installed at the game designer's suggestion. How can I get my money back.\?

as above, I was re-charged for downloading an app (game) I had already paid for. This was done at the game designer's suggestion to reset the results. Why was a I charged a second time? What can I do to get a refund?

Unlress you changed it in Settings>General>Restrictions, there is a ten minute window for making additional purchases once you entered you password.
Also, could the charge be for an in-app purchase in the free app?
You can try to get a refund by:

Newbie for development for iphone

Hi there, I wan to start to develop apps for iphone..after few round of research, I know I need basically 2 items to staff: A Mac machine and iphone SDK.
The question is which mac should i get of which more suitable for development?
1) Mini Mac
2) Macbook
3) IMac
Im thinking of Mini Mac, as it is cost effective but Im not sure if it is good enough for development. Any expert advise pls? Appreciate your help.
Note that Im new and never use an Mac before.

Go for the cheapest (Mac Mini) as it will be good enough for your needs.
If development goes well and you sell a few apps or love developing soooo much, you could always buy another machine in the future.
PS It would be a good idea to have an iPhone too - most of your testing can be done in simulator but not all.

HT4623 When I was update ios6 for iPhone 4 , mail and application are hung , why ?

When I was update iOS 6 for iPhone 4, mail and application are hung , why ? How I should do for that ?

They don't let you downgrade. You have to eat what Apple tells you to and think what they tell you to. If you liked the older software better than tough ****. You know what you should do?? You should throw away that garbage that Apple has sold you that they call a phone and get something by anyone else because no one else regulates what you get to do and say about your phone in such an extreme manner. Not being mean to you friend. Just know that as long as Apple is answering your questions that you will never get a definate answer and at best you will get something that you don't like but have to get used too.
