Problem starting up after installing Lion

After installing Lion I get this error message when starting and getting to the desktop:
"You need to restart your computer. Hold down the power button untilnit turns off, then press the power button again."
Starting in safe mode works fine.

That could be the wording presented by 10.7 when a kernel panic occurs.
If so, consider first the possibility of an issue with third party software or hardware.

Starting mail after installing Lion

Hi,
I installed Lion on my MacbookPro (2008) yesterday. Everything is working fine, except mail. When i start mail, it says (ranslated from nowegian): "Mail needs to organize he database, press continue". When i press continue it says: "Transfering data". Then everything freezes. Solutions anyone?

Problem Solved, I'll put it down to operator error.
After checking out the Preferences for Mail and for that one particular email address I found that the password had one too many digits so I reentered the password and it worked just fine.
Don't ask me how come the extra digit as I haven't had any reason to go into Mail Preferences for months and all of the addresses were working fine until after loading Lion.

Problem accessing internet after installing Lion

Hello,
I just installed Lion to my Mac (Mac OS X Lion 10.7.3), and somehow I now seem to have trouble accessing internet. I use Wi-fi, and the actual connection with our internetprovider works just fine (we have other computers in the house, and have not experienced any trouble with them). When I want to use internet I have to go to the network panel, click on "help me", and run a diagnostics. After that, I have no problem assessing internet.
I am SO sorry I am not able to explain my problem any better in english, but I do hope someone can help me sort this out, as it is most annoying.
Hopsi Daisy

Sorry, my bad for not explaining good enough!
When I start the diagnostics, the networkstatus on my left indicates with green dots that everything up until networkprovider is OK (Wi-Fi settings and network settings are all green)
Networkprovider is marked with a yellow dot, and internet and servant (? - not sure of the english word here!) are both red, indicating they do not work.
I then run the diagnostics, no problems encountered, and I am up and running. It does not say what the problem is, nor do I get any indications that something is wrong when trying to access internet in the first place (other than that it will not let me in to the pages I am trying to visit)
This happens everytime I for some reason restart the computer, or if I have been offline for a while (e.g. throughout the night). No problems once I am online.
Never had any such problems until I installed Lion.

Problems with iWeb, after installing Lion

Hi,
Ever since I installed Lion, I have been having problems with iWeb. Any changes I make in iWeb, and then publish to my site, via mobileme, are not saved, and the site reverts to the orignial site, after closing the website, and iWeb also loses the cahnges. I am unable to sue the Publish Site button, and the option for Publish Site changes is not available.
I am using iLife 11.
These problems have only occurred since I installed Lion.
Any help greatly appreciated.

In Lion the Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and hit the Enter button - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.
For opening your domain file in Lion or to switch between multiple domain files Cyclosaurus has provided us with the following script that you can make into an Applescript application with Script Editor. Open Script Editor, copy and paste the script below into Script Editor's window and save as an application.
do shell script "/usr/bin/defaults write com.apple.iWeb iWebDefaultsDocumentPath -boolean no"delay 1
tell application "iWeb" to activate
Just launch the application, find and select the domain file you want to open and it will open with iWeb. It modifies the iWeb preference file each time it's launched so one can switch between domain files.
You can download an already compiled version with this link: iWeb Switch Domain.
WARNING: iWeb Switch Domain will overwrite an existing Domain.sites2 file if you select to create a new domain in the same folder. So rename your domain files once they've been created to something other than the default name.

I am having problems with iChat after installing Lion, can anyone help?

I installed Lion this week after I installed everything seemed to be working great. However, if I open iChat and then log in and log out it will not let me log back into iChat

Try logging on to AIM on port 443 rather than port 5190.
Go to IChat in the menu bar > Preferences > Accounts.
Log out of AIM and then use the Server Settings tab
Set the port to 443(press return/enter(you might have to tick and untick SSL for 443 to stick)).
Log back in again.

Cannot start iTunes after installing Lion

I installed Lion Mac OSx, then I started iTunes.
It didn' work, an error message appeared asking me to check whether this version of iTunes works on this vesion of Mac OS. As well, the message asked me to get the latest iTunes and Mac OS update, which I did.
But the same message appears again.
I totally removed iTunes and re-installed it, but nothing new.
Please help.

you can't install XP on new 2011 Macs.
Boot Camp 4.0 doesn't include drivers, that does not mean you can't install XP.
Boot Camp 4 Lion Installation & Setup Guide (PDF)
While Boot Camp 4.0 will run in eitherSnow Leopard or Lion, it is a requirement for setting up new Windows installations in Lion even though existing Boot Camp 3 installations will continue to work in Lion if you upgrade your systems. What this means is that if you have an existing Windows XP or Vista installation when you upgrade to Lion then Boot Camp will still work, but you will not be able to upgrade it to version 4 or later.
Boot Camp 4 requires Windows 7 or later | MacFixIt - CNET Reviews
You don't NEED new 4.0 drivers, that is settled.
There is one sentence in the above article that needs to be confirmed, I highly doubt the accuracy:
if you decide to set up a dual-boot environment for Windows from a Lion installation then you will need to have Windows 7 or later, as your older XP or Vista discs will not work.
The only way Lion can allow XP to boot if it was there before, but not allow installing, would have to be the GPT partition.
Block = prevent = "cannot install" IS a form of blocking and preventing.
So Apple does block.
OP:
My iMac (27-inch, Late 2009) or iMac (21.5-inch, Mid 2010) displays a black screen during installation of Microsoft Windows 7 using the Boot Camp Assistant. How do I fix it?
The Windows 7 installer does not include required graphics or Bluetooth drivers for this computer. To obtain the necessary drivers and resolve the issue, see this article.

Problem opening iTunes after installing Lion

I just installed lion. When I try to open iTunes it says it cannot read my library because it was created by a newer version. It asks me if I wannt to download iTunes. What should I do to fix this?

Uninstall QuickTime then download the file again and reinstall QuickTime. iTunes needs a functional QuickTime in order to operate properly. I had the same error, and iTunes has been working fine.

Sound Problems After Installing Lion

I see many are having issues with sound after installing Lion. I have sound and then will lose sound after closing and reopening. I have to restart to restore sound. This is getting old quick. Does anyone know a fix or if one is coming? Thanks!

Not sure how much it helps, but here is my experience:
I have found that after a while, midi-style sounds stop playing. Most obvious to me is the crinkle tune when throwing away trash, or the click when placing something into the trash. When these sounds stop playing, I can still set the volume (and the up/down volume sounds will play) but the midi tracks don't start playing.
A while back I was hunting for a solution to this problem and rebooted and messed around, etc, etc. One person suggested changing the midi format since they knew there was a bug in the midi playback in Lion (a beta comment I think). So I used the Audio MIDI Setup application to change the Built-In Output format to 2ch-32bit float. For a while the sounds were back.
Just now, I noticed that they had disappeared again, so I went back to Audio MIDI Setup and changed it back to 2ch-24bit Integer. All of a sudden, a stream of old sounds started playing - presumably everything that had not been correctly played for a while.
Not sure if it will work again, but next time the sound vanishes, I will try to change the format again and report back what happens. My guess is that just changing the format will cause the queue to reset and play any old sounds. Then the sounds will work for a while until the bug is triggered again. Perhaps the workaround for now is to just keep flipping the Ouput MIDI format?

Mail search problems after installing Lion

After installing Lion search in mail app dosent work correctly anymore. I keep thousands of emails in my mailbox and usually search needed email by typing sender to search, now it find only few sender. Any help anyone?

I ran into the same problem with only some messages (if any at all) showing up in the searches in Mail. For an example, I have over 100 messages from Netflix within all my mail folders (trash included) but when I search for anything containing "netflix" it would only pull up 2 messages from my trash folder on two random dates. This was the case for ANY searches I was trying to pull up, not just for netflix emails.
I spoke to an iOS Senior Advisor who did a screen share with me (because he had never heard of the problem previously) and after reviewing the issue, he said he will be taking this up to the engineers.
Here is what fixed the problem for me:
1. Enable Indexing
Open Terminal, and type the following: sudo mdutil -i on /
If it asks for your password, type it in and hit return.
Re-open mail. If this didn't fix anything, then you will need to re-index:
2. Re-indexing HD
Go to System Preferences, Spotlight, click on the Privacy tab, click on the + to add the entire Macintosh HD to the list of "Prevent spotlight from searching these locations" and then remove the Macintosh HD by clicking the - button.
Once you've done this is will automatically start re-indexing in spotlight. This took about 90 minutes on my computer, but once it was done, I re-opened mail and it was working properly again.
If you still run into issues, I've heard that in Mail, clicking on "Mailbox" then "Rebuild" can sometimes fix the issue. Let me know if any of those steps worked for you!

I am having start up issues after installing lion

after installing lion on my mac mini it is having major start up issues, sometimes it will not start up at all. Is anyone having the same issues?

After I used MIgration Assistant on my new Mac Mini, Lion would have kernel panics shortly after startup every time. I am pretty sure it was some virus software or network filterting software that ran background tasks that was causing the problem.
Can you startup in single user mode or safe mode?

Apache not starting after installing Lion

After installing Lion, my Apache local service doesn't start anymore.
in System Preferences > Sharing, the Web Sharing is not checked anymore.
If I (try to) check it, it try for half a second, and then is unchecked again.
No error message. I also reinstalled the last Xcode package, rebooted, nothing.
What to do? Thank you!

Commenting out that line simply disables mod_fastcgi (which might caus performance problems under a load).
In case you really need the mod_fastcgi to speed up apache2 you can easily compile and install it given you have the xcode development env installed.
(i've chosen the latest version which is a snap but still roughly 2 years old.)
cd /tmp
curl -O -L http://www.fastcgi.com/dist/mod_fastcgi-SNAP-0910052141.tar.gz
tar zxf mod_fastcgi-SNAP-0910052141.tar.gz
cd mod_fastcgi-SNAP-0910052141.tar.gz
cp Makefile.AP2 Makefile
make topdir=/usr/share/httpd
sudo make install
this will install the apache mod_fastcgi.so into apples apache2 install and you should be able to continue with a fastcgi setup.
So far this has worked for me w/o any problem.
cheers
