Printing with Lion 10.7 and an HP b210 A printer

We installed Lion 10.7 on a new mac and the Apple store advised us to buy the HP B210 A printer, and while setting it up, it's saying it's not compatible. Any idea how to get this printer to work?

There was a recent Hp print driver release.

Intuit's Quicken won't work with Lion. Installed and am using Quicken Essentials but it's not as convenient.

Intuit's Quicken won't work with Lion. Installed and am using Quicken Essentials but it's not as convenient.

this has been an issue with Quicken for a long time! Quicken was initially a Mac only application and then they got greedy! i beta-tested Quicken for Intuit for years and when they announced they were not going to support it any more the screaming was loud but not heard!
Quicken Essentials is a crime! i wasn't even asked to beta-test it; probably because they would have gotten an earful!!! it is not essential; it is stupid.... AND, of course, their online version was a disaster. i use Quickbooks Online for business and it works like a charm; i mean it even downloads ignominious PayPal transactions now!
i am also stupid for not really checking out if it would work with Lion - ALL of my financials are on it. I am going to have to do what @cwiens suggested above and either pull out an old Macbook I have or my well stored original Cube in its original box! thank the fates for the double backup i've always done with Quicken - Time Machine & its own key drive!
btw, this is an old Microsoft trick - not having older versions of apps work on OS updates so they force you to buy the new versions.

HT4628 Still having issues with Lion os X and wi-fi

I am still havign issues with Lion os X and wi-fi. I have 3 domputers in my house including the new macbook pro that has lion os x installed. The wifi drops out all the time (every 2 minutes). I have followed all the instructions on how to fix this but I am still having issues. The other two computers work fine, one of the is Lion os X that has been updated but I managed to play with the setting and fix this one. This computer worked fine on Snow leapard and then a soon as I installed Lion the wifi started having issues.
When will apple make an update that is going to fix this problem. You want to buy a new computer that works, I took it into apple and they told me that it is my router, but I know it is the software as there are 100's of blogs and threads about this exact issue occuring only when their computer was updated to Lion.
Is there anything else I can do to fix this issue other then un-installing Lion and buying Snow Leapard?

Does this problem happen with just your airport base station? Do you have a 3rd party wireless router? Can you duplicate the problem using any wifi access point? Did your computer come with 10.7 preinstalled? Did you purchase the applecare with your computer?

I'm having to many problems with Lion freezing up and want to go back to Snow Leopard,how can I do this?

How to revert your Mac to Snow Leopard

Magic Track Pad with Lion 10.7 and Safari zoom aA vs Pinch to zoom

Hi,
I enjoy a Mac Mini (early 2009) hooked to a 50 inch plasma and surf from my couch, stream etc... We browse with Safari 5.X and enjoyed the new Magic Track Pad with Snow Leopard. You could zoom / scale Safari with Snow Leopard beautifully, with a pinch out on the trackpad, same function as aA option on the browser task bar.
Now with Lion, the pinch to zoom feature zooms but doesn't scale the safari window the same way aA option used to. In lion a pinch out to zoom in will push a significant part of the browser screen off / out of view.
The aA option on the safari task bar scales the window, and keeps everything visible but larger, but now in Lion it is not available from the Magic Track Pad Gestures. The Button is still there on the browser but there is no option to access it from the track pad with a gesture.
How can I revert to the old way of zooming / Scaling a Safari web page with my Magic track pad in Lion?
Thanks,
H

You can see in that screenshot that a lot of browser.gesture.pinch prefs have an empty string as their value and thus won't have any effect.
You can restore some zoom feature by modifying the values of the related prefs on the about:config page via the right-click context menu.
* browser.gesture.pinch.in -> cmd_fullZoomReduce
* browser.gesture.pinch.in.shift -> cmd_fullZoomReset
* browser.gesture.pinch.out -> cmd_fullZoomEnlarge
* browser.gesture.pinch.out.shift -> cmd_fullZoomReset
You may want to toggle this pref (I don't know what effect this has):
* browser.gesture.pinch.latched -> false

Issues with Lion recognizing keyboard and mouse functions

Hello everyone,
I have read that there were issues with Lion so I waited for months before I upgraded hoping that there would be enough complaints to warrant a fix from the tech lords. I decided to finally upgrade and the issues with incompatible software came to fruition. Fortunately I don't need to upgrade anytime soon but here's my real issue. I have a logitech mouse and keyboard and Lion won't recognize the keyboard, even with product upgrade. Also, the right click button is not functioning the way it should. I can no longer right click and copy and paster anymore. Being a long time mac head from the 80s I know there are always issues but I have never experienced this many. Any suggestions?
Thanks

I had the same setup with the apple BT keyboard and the V270 mouse. I also work with the lid closed and with an external monitor (I bet that you are also using airport)! Both devices seem to intermittently loose connection, and the mouse cursor doesn't track very well. Looking through postings it seems that airport interferes with BT, and the behavior I've seen seems to support this. I stopped using the mouse because I couldn't get it to work adequately. I'v also tried using BT headphones (Motorola HT820) which at best the sound drops out intermittently, and at worse crashes OS X. I'm thinking that BT on the Macbook Pro just marginally works... I'd be curious if you ever had any success with your setup!

How can i partition my hard drive with lion on it and install snow leopard from time machine

How do I partition my hard drive which has lion on it and reinstall os6 from my time machine?

You going to need a second harddrive. It is riskie to resize your haddrive with live data on it. You need a backup of the data. That said, you might as well copy your data to the second harddrive. Repartition. Then copy the data back. I bought a 128gig flash drive from walmart for $32.
There were repartition commands introduced in 10.4.6 to repartition the harddrive.
For what it is worth, you can non-destructively partition a harddrive from single user mode in 10.4.6 or greater. Of course, you should have a backup of the harddrive.

Why do you force us away from genius iweb? Where can I get iweb to my mbook pro with Lion? Upgrade and loose iweb?

Hi
I´m new here so I don´t know if theese questions are reacheing the Apples staff or only for the community useres..
But I put my frustration out here anyway.. :-) (and sry for my norwegian/eng)
I have like 12 differerent wen sites that I manage, very simple made, but working, thats why I like iweb cos it´s simple and it works.
I have now finnaly taken the step away for PC laptop also, so I went buying a brand new macbook pro weith Lion the other day.
Wanted to work on the websites while and travelling, so I copied all the domain info from myc stationary mac to a USB, ready to put into my new friend..
What????
No iweb in the programs..
So there goes that plan into pieces... How to I fix that case? Buying an old ilife and try to intall it?
Then I wanted to upgrad my stationary mac... but reading forums before I do so... DO NOT UPGRADE IF YOU ARE USING IWEB!!!!
Well, thats enough said for me to cancel upgrading for me..
WHY ARE YOU FORCING US AWAY FROM YOUR IWEB???
WHY NOT MAKE A PROGRAM THAT CAN COVERT OUR IWEB INFO TO ANOTHER PROGRAM?
I THINK YOU APPLE GUY´S NOW ARE FORCING US TO DO MOORE AND MOORE STUFF... AND I DON´T LIKE IT ONE BIT!
YOU ARE FORCING US TO LOOK OVER OUR SHOULDER AND BACK TO WERE PC IS AT THE MOMENT.. HAVE THEY IMPROVED SO I CAN GO BACK??
So, as you can understand here, I don´t like the direction that where Apple is going, it´s very roude and to much business now a days..
Not taking care of it´s customers I think..
If you take my point here in basic norw/ eng...
Ok, that smy frustrations, have a nice day all!

That will work. The latest version of iWeb does run on Lion (with a couple of quirks).
But be aware that iWeb is clearly a dead end; fixes/updates/improvements are highly unlikely, and it may quit working with new versions of OSX (possibly even future updates to Lion).
If you're using MobileMe as a host, that will stop in June of 2011, so you'll have to move your site elsewhere. You can still use iWeb with it; a few changes are required on the Site Publishing Settings page, of course, but they're pretty simple. And a few features won't work, but there are workarounds for them.
I recently moved my iWeb site from MobileMe to GoDaddy, and it was relatively painless.
See https://discussions.apple.com/community/ilife/iweb for much more discussion.

Yahoo! Mail glitches with Lion mail client and Address Book app

I had really been looking forward to using my Yahoo! mail account in the Lion mail client but now that it is here and I have set it up and used it for a few days I am noticing the following issues:
New mail is not always received or is received late. Yahoo! Webmail portal shows new items but these sometimes do not appear in Lion mail client even after a manual 'get mail' check.
Mail marked as read in Yahoo! Webmail portal or in mail clients in iOS devices such as iPhone or iPad is not marked as read in Lion mail client, however the reverse does work (i.e. mail marked as read in Lion mail client does mark the message as read in webmail and in clients on iOS devices).
Yahoo! Aliases are not supported. Yes, you can add aliases by inserting the other email addresses in the 'Email Address' field of the account settings, but you cannot add more than one display name.
I have also found that if you turn on Yahoo! contacts via the tick-box in the new 'Mail, Contacts & Calendars' pref pane in System Preferences that I end up with random duplicated contacts. These duplicates are not seen on iOS devices, just in the Address Book app. If you delete a duplicate contact, it deletes the contact altogether. However, I have found that if you keep contacts unticked in the pref pane and add your Yahoo! account the old-fashioned way (i.e. via the Address Book app's own preferences) then the contacts sync through perfectly with no duplications.
I would be interested to know if anybody else is experiencing these issues. It may be worth noting that mine is not a @yahoo.com address but @xtra.co.nz which belongs to my ISP here in New Zealand, but the mail is managed by Yahoo!. The account works perfectly as a Yahoo! account on iOS devices and does appear to be working in Lion, except for these small glitches but I don't imagine these are specific to @xtra.co.nz addresses.
Thanks
Steve

i've had the same experience here.
essentially it seems like lion mail.app just takes an incredibly long time to pickup new changes from the IMAP server at yahoo.
ios and webmail are obviously much quicker.
if it is working on ios, why does is it so delayed in mail?
any solutions out there?

With Lion, How Can I Erase the Hard Drive and Reinstall The System Software?

I plan on buying a used iMac with a Core 2 Duo so that I can run Lion. Since Lion can only be purchased at the Mac App store what if I needed to erase my hard drive and re-install the system software. How can I do this without a DVD with the OS on it like I have for Snow Leapard. I suppose that I could boot from my Snow Leapard DVD and do the erase. Then, I supposed I would be able to download Lion again from the Mac App Store without paying for it again. But, how would you erase a hard drive and reinstall the system software when purchasing a new Mac with Lion already installed and no DVD at all with the OS on it?
-- Kaydell

When someone purchases any Apple computer with a DVD Drive, they should have recieved two DVDs... One contains the Operating System (up to Snow Leopard, Lion no longer ships on DVD) and the other contains the SYSTEM SOFTWARE (i.e. iLife and iWork). To install the software, they just insert the DVD with the SYSTEM SOFTWARE into any compatible Mac and run the installer. There is no need to erase the hard drive to install SYSTEM SOFTWARE. Maybe a friend can let you borrow the SYSTEM SOFTWARE DVD. The other option is to purchase the software via the App Store.
FYI... App Store purchases are linked to the PURCHASER'S APPLE ID. So if you buy a used Mac from a friend and that Mac already has Lion installed on it,that Lion purchase is linked to YOUR FRIEND'S APPLE ID, not yours. So if you want to download Lion again, you will have to enter your FRIEND'S APPLE ID AND PASSWORD. You can always have your friend re-download Lion and make you a DVD copy.

Is there a Mac box set with Lion and iLife? I have Leopard currently.

Would like to update both OS and iLife w/o having to step between with Snow Leopard. Is this possible on my iMac? (core2duo, just want to know if you can buy it this way)
Thanks!

You save $10 by buying Snow leopard and then Lion rather than waiting till August and just getting the USB drive with Lion.
SL - $29 at Amazon
Lion- $29 on the App Store
Price for the USB drive with Lion is $69 (and not available till august)

Upgrade procedure Logic 8 - 9 with Lion, how does it work?

Hi,
so I have Logic 8 (yes, bought) and I find it doesn't work with Lion. The known workaround doesn't work neither because I got myself a new iMac with Lion on it, and Logic setup says I may not install. That's not cool.
So I wonder what happens if I buy the Logic 9 upgrade. Will I be able to install all the stuff (somehow) or do I need to buy the complete Logic 9 retail version?
Thanks in advance.
sgbrl

Before you install on each computer, put the dongle in first then run the installation routine.
You may install Logic Studio on up to two computers but you may not run it on more than one at a time. In fact, if the two computers are networked, you won't be able to run them on both at the same time.
Yes, you may swap as often as you like - there's no limitation, except that you must close down Logic on one before you start the other.

No Internet with Lion. Stay away until self-assigned IP addresses are fixed!

I have a TimeCapsule (802.11n 3rd gen) and four Macs. Until two months ago all was well and everyone could connect.
Two months ago the Apple apps on the MacBook Pro stopped connecting to the Internet on the TimeCapsule network (Mail and Safari would not connect, Firefox was fine). The MacBook Pro connects on all other networks. I travel a fair amount and the computer has connected fine at all networks tried. I have sinced updated to Lion (10.7.2) and the problem is the same. The error in System Preferences indicates that the computer has a self-assigned IP address and will not be able to access the Internet - but Firefox works, so we know that is not entirely the case.
Last week our desktop stopped being able to access the Internet using the TimeCapsule network. Problems the same as the MacBook but the desktop Mac is using Snow Leopard.
Our older laptop is using an earlier version of OSX and all is well. Out antique Mac laptop is also working well.
We also have a Verizon MiFi and all machines can access the Internet on that.
I have tried every "fix" I can find on the boards and through Google. Nothing works. From the looks of the boards, there are thousands of users with this problem and no answer from Apple.
I was much better off before I switched to Lion. In those days, I just used Firefox and looked at my iPad when I needed mail (and waited to sync at the office). But with Lion comes iCloud and an increased reliance on the App store, making internet connectivity through Apple apps is a must. Can someone from Apple help us fix this? Does anyone have any suggestions?

That is what I told Comcast, but they said since my
computer works "fine" in Safe-Boot,
Classic, and the other PC—then they
conclude there's no problem with their hardware and
that its not their problem; that its Apple's issue.
And nope I'm not connected wirelessly, it's through a
basic ethernet cable.
I don't know who to blame for this. Five years ago, this never happened, but it is common now. It affects both Macs and PCs, but as usual, people like Comcast will make an effort to fix a PC but throw up their hands with a Mac. Go figure.
So, what speed, duplex and adapter type numbers
should I put in?
I don't know for sure. Start with duplex. If it current says "auto", change it to "full". If that doesn't work, or if it already was "full", change it to "half". If still nothing, switch it back to "auto" and fiddle with all the 10/100 speed combinations. You may have to go back and try different duplex and speed combinations! It sounds harder than it is. Try changing the duplex and adapter settings from "auto" before changing the speed. I'm am on my work Dell right now (which needed the same fix BTW), so I can't give you very good step-by-step instructions.
The thing that troubles me is why is it that the
internet works fine in Safe-Boot and Classic, but not
Normal OS X mode?
No clue about that.

FaceTime came with Lion already installed but it isn't shown as installed on the Apps Store...Help?

Facetime doesn't show as installed on the apps store but it normally comes with Lion 10.7 and Lion came pre-installed on my MacBook Pro. Does anyone know why is that? And how come the facetime installed doesn't connect to my iPhone 4 when I try to facetime call it?

It's a different version of Facetime. If you're running Lion, you have Facetime installed but it's not the same version as the one in the Mac App Store. I can assure you that having it show as not installed is normal; that's the way it is for every Mac on which I've installed Lion.
Be sure your brother and you are not using the same ID. You should be able to use an email-style address or a phone number.
I'm finding that establishing a Facetime link takes several seconds, so have a bit of patience - it's not instant. And once your Facetime partner accepts the connection, it takes another couple of seconds.
Be sure the iPhone is connected to your local wifi network, because Facetime will not work with cellular data connections under iOS 4. It will later this year under iOS 5.

Installing Flash on mbp (shipped with lion) safe?

Hello
I have just just received my new MBP with Lion pre-installed and was wondering whether it is safe or not installing flash player?
I'm totally new in the world of mac and after having read a few articles I wasn't that sure anymore of what to do...
thanks

Flash is as safe as Adobe makes it. There are occasional security updates regarding it. Some animated websites require it, while others do not. Play around with websites and see if any really needs it that you really need access to. If you find some do, you should also recommend they consider switching their Flash to HTML5, which eats up less processor cycles, and because it is maintained by the open source community is more likely to be secure. Don't click on animated advertisements and banners, unless you are absolutely certain they are legit. Don't believe any popup saying you should install asking you to install anti-virus software. Just close those windows with the red button in the upper left corner and proceed going through websites. If they make a window you can't close, bookmark any sites you are on, and quit the web browser.
