Problems I've found in Lion

These are some of the problems I've encountered in Lion so far using it in my Mac Mini Mid 2010:
1. Screen Sharing is broken from the iPad (sometimes it works and sometimes don't). It may need iPad apps updates, this was working fine in Leopard. I use Mocha VNC abd VNC Viewer. Both apps freezes and won't let the user input the computer password (not the VNC pass but the one needed to log on to the computer), once the app connects with the computer via VNC. In VNC Viewer I have managed to input 3 or 4 letters, then it freezes.
2. Windows File sharing is having problems. The PC sees the mac, but not always can copy files to it or the other way around, this was working fine in Leopard. It may be a permissions problems, but at least it should let me copy files from the Mac to the PC.
3. I can't see the Mac as a Network share from any of my media players (WDTV Live, Xtreamer Pro). If I try to search the mac using the IP address, the media players find the mac, but when I input the correct log in information, the credentials are never accepted (even thought I enter them correctly), this was working fine in Leopard.
4. IMPORTANT: The computer case gets too HOT even if there are no activity at all. I have to place an external fan to the case so it gets warmer.Temperatures can go to the 70-74c,  this was working fine in Leopard.
5. I've seen weird pixel distortions coming from the cursor from time to time, like a thick line of pixels in colors, this I can't make it to reproduce because it's random. Sometimes it happens when I restart or shut down the computer. I've seen the same color pixels from Google Chrome while loading pages.
6. The scroll bars don't disappear when I use stack folders from the dock, they just dim. This feature should be consistent.
7. This is not a bug: What is the real use of the Launch Pad, if I have the Dock with all the apps I need? In the iOS the dock does not duplicate the apps in folders or "finder". I think the Launch Pad should have a different version of the Dock, letting the user drag an icon to this Dock to avoid having duplicated icons. I am not really using this feature at all, it is cool, but not so useful for me, so far.

Well there’s no point in posting that list here. Apple aren’t here. This is a User to User forum and Apple do not promise to read anything here. To communicate with Apple try
iPhoto menu -> Provide iPhoto Feedback
But do this please. The more folks complain the better the chances that your concerns will be addressed.
However: This is not a bug
11) No way to delete an EVENT, for photos I want to stay in my library but be in an album and not an event.
This is absolutely intended behaviour. Events are simply a view of your Library. Every photo must be in the Library, so every photo must be in an Event. So, to be available for use in an Album the photos must be visible in both the Library views: Events and Photos. This has been the case since Rolls back in iPhoto 1, every pic had to be in a Roll, and rolls are just a view of the Library.
Can't get rid of the event intuitively.
Just trash the photos therein.
You worry if you delete the photos from the event to get an empty event (which I think will make the event go away) there is a persistent fear that your are deleting the actual photos from the library.
You’re right to worry: you are.
Far better to highlight an EVENT and press delete; you are then deleting the EVENT but not the photos in the event.
This is never the case. Delete and Event, you delete the contents.
As to why your photos are not geo-tagged on export, are you checking the option to Include Location Information?

  • IPhone 4 problems syncing with iCal in Lion

    I have an iPhone 4 with IOS 5.0.1,  and a Macbook Pro with OS 10.7.2 and itunes 10.5.1. Every time I plug my iphone into the Macbook, it launches itunes and does a sync, but then it gives me a "Sync Conflict" message. It tells me there are 2 conflicts, and these are always the same two Ical items which i have recently changed on my iphone. It asks me how I want to resolve them, and when I click on "using iPhone" and then OK, the message goes away, but the sync does not work and the message pops up again every 5 minutes. I've tried using the iCal items, same problem.
    One detail: About a month ago, i had a brief stint where I tried using ICloud, but I found that all of my ical events were doubled and even tripled and it was a huge mess. I kept having to delete events that were repeated, and they kept coming back. I deleted iCloud and stoped using it. Not sure if this is relevant.
    Another detail, I just switched to Lion about a week ago, I was using OS 10.6 before and never had this problem. Seriously considering uninstalling Lion.

    Hey,
    I have the same issue only I went from a widows 7 OS to a Vista OS to backup mine.
    This seems to be a common fault since the new update of 4.3.3, as there are several people who have done the same as you and I but on several windows OS.
    Therefore one can conclude its not a fault with windows but may lie in the iPhone update.
    Also I have seen a patten in that its the personal computers of the iPhone owner that wont work, yet someone else's system with work just fine?
    Still hopefully there is more to come to resolve this issue.

  • There was a problem connecting to the server lion

    Hi.
    Just upgraded my macbook pro to LionThere was a problem connecting to the server lion 10.7.1 and suddenly I have this message keep on popping on my screen that say's :  " THERE WAS A PROBLEM CONNECTING TO THE SERVER. URLs with the "type:" are not supported. "
    Can you assist me, how can I get rid or fix this problem?
    Thank You.

    I found an answer.  It's a problem with time machine.  If you disable it it should stop.  I am manually turning it on when I connect since I don't stay connected to that hd all the time.  I haven't had the message since.

    Just got off the phone with apple support.  If the photo book completes the assembly process but fails during the upload process the problem is in their overloaded servers.They just started a free shipping promotion for the holidays which has increased the traffic dramatically. I bought a calendar a week ago and it went right through. I'm going to try again during less peak times.

  • I found a fix for problems installing Air on Mac Lion OS

    I had Air installed which I needed to run this porgram You Select it which needs adobe flash and Air to run.. The other day the program would not open up.
    I tried a number of things could not get it to work. Deleted the program, and tried installing Air again, and Flash. Flash would install fine but not Air.
    I searched the WEB and found a forum which said if You install Firefox web browser and run it while you install Air it will work.. I did and got Air and my Program installed fine.
    I have no clue why that worked but it did.

    Thanks - this strange solution worked for me too.  Shaking my head, just as I thought Flash was safely killed, Air pops up as the next Weirdo app

  • Audio Problem since upgrading to Mountain Lion

    Has anyone encountered audio problems with their iMac?  I just upgraded to Mountain Lion on my i7 27" with 16GB of Ram and found that the Audio starts to get distorted and eventually cuts out after about an hour!  It starts cutting in and out when I move the mouse and eventually there will be no sound at all!
      Sometimes it can take over an hour of steady use, my last time was watching a movie on Netflix.  I initially noticed this using a USB DAC Headphone Amp.
    I never had any Audio problems before, my machine is over 1 year old.
    I enjoy watching movies in iTunes and DVDs, but this is making it difficult!  A full restart usually fixes the problem for a time but it will eventually come back
    I'm seriously thinking of going back to Lion for the time being and seeing if it is a Hardware problem.

    i don't know if mine is the same issue, but i had no sound through any of my applications after upgrading to mountain lion.  here is what i had to do to fix it:
    -- applications > utilities > audio midi setup > UNmute all options under "built-in output" (they were mysteriously muted)
    Also, I noticed that the options for "use this device for sound output" and "play alerts & sound effects through this device" were no longer assigned to my Built-in Output device.  They were assigned to some other random sound driver.  To fix, i right-clicked on Built-in Output and reassigned those items to my built in speakers.  All fixed now!
    very weird problem, though.

  • Partition problem with Win 7 and Lion

    I have a 2011 Mac Mini with two hard drives - the original 500GB drive and a SSD.   The SSD is laid out as follows:
    $ diskutil list
    /dev/disk0
       #:                       TYPE NAME                    SIZE       IDENTIFIER
       0:      GUID_partition_scheme                        *60.0 GB    disk0
       1:                        EFI                         209.7 MB   disk0s1
       2:                  Apple_HFS OSX Lion SSD            19.0 GB    disk0s2
       3:                 Apple_Boot Recovery HD             650.0 MB   disk0s3
       4:       Microsoft Basic Data BOOTCAMP W7             40.2 GB    disk0s4
    It has my two bootable operating systems and works fine (for now) so I am happy to leave it alone.
    The problem is with the second drive.  It has:
    1) EFI partition 200M
    2) Original Lion install 40G HFS+
    3) Original recovery partition 650M
    4) Space set aside for OSX HFS+ 160G (has some big files in it)
    5) Space set aside for Windows NTFS 300G (no files in it yet)
    I think there is a problem with MBR vs GPT and Disk Utility vs Disk Management.
    Disk Utility or fdisk calls it
    /dev/disk1
       #:                       TYPE NAME                    SIZE       IDENTIFIER
       0:      GUID_partition_scheme                        *500.1 GB   disk1
       1:                        EFI                         209.7 MB   disk1s1
       2:       Microsoft Basic Data                         37.6 GB    disk1s2 (these entries are wrong)
       3:       Microsoft Basic Data                         650.0 MB   disk1s3
       4:       Microsoft Basic Data                         161.5 GB   disk1s4
       5:       Microsoft Basic Data NTFS stuff              300.1 GB   disk1s5 (this entry seems right)
    and I cannot access the partitions in Lion.
    Gdisk calls it:
    GPT fdisk (gdisk) version 0.8.1
    Partition table scan:
      MBR: hybrid
      BSD: not present
      APM: not present
      GPT: present
    Found valid GPT with hybrid MBR; using GPT.
    Disk /dev/disk1: 976773168 sectors, 465.8 GiB
    Logical sector size: 512 bytes
    Disk identifier (GUID): 0000303E-4D40-0000-1B4C-0000F9090000

    Windows Disk Management is happy to see inside the HFS partitions, so I know all my files are at least still there.  I had a 5th NTFS partition formatted, but upon going into Lion and back, it disappeared.
    I think ideally what I would like to have is a spare Lion + recovery partition on this drive in case my SSD barfs, then a big NTFS partition to hold my Windows files.  I guess merging the 40G OSX and 160G HFS+ partitions will be ok.  Could the problem be related to MBR having a limit of 4 partitions?  There isn't any data on this drive that isn't backed up, but I would rather do this partition fixing shuffle without having to restore big files.  Any suggestions on how to proceed?

    I managed to fix the problem.  First I used Disk Utility to delete the NTFS partition.  It hung during the process, so I quit it, and the partition was deleted anyway.  Next, I used gdisk to change the partition type from 0700 to AF00 and AB00 for the Lion and Recovery partitions respectively.  It worked and I can access the partitions under OSX again.  Thanks, everybody, you've been super helpful.

  • Strange resolution problem mac mini 2010 w lion 10.7.3

    Hi!
    I use XBMC as a media center client, and did the update to 10.7.3 yesterday. This update gave me a problem with the resolution on a 55 "LED TV.
    If xbmc is running and I switch the source on the television to for example, tuner or blueray player, and then switch back to the mac mini running xbmc, the resolution changes, everything is so big on the screen that you cant read it. I need to force down xbmc and turn back to lion, and then start xbmc again.xbmc is running 1080i 50 Hz PAL, the same for lion.
    My mini is always on, and if i leave it over night or some hours, the resolution in lion changes to 960x540 60 Hz NTSE by itself. therfore i belive the problem is lion and not the xbmc. it looks like the mini forget the settings. I tried to format the mini and installed a frech copy of lion 10.7.3 Still problems!
    Anyone?  please help me, I use the Mini very much and this is an annoying problem

    I ran a few more tests and this problem has something to do with the Video Card sensing the TV (or at least I think). The resolution drops to 960x540 HiDPI 60 Hz NTSC when I return from TV to HDMI (Mac Mini) after any of the following:
    1. Screen saver was activated
    2. Screen was switched off by Lion Power management
    I don't beleive this to do with any application running like Plex or XMBC. I tested this with no applications running just what ever Lion loads in the begining.
    I tried reseting the PMU but that didn't help.
    The only workarround I found was not to uese any screen savers and not allow the screen to switch off (Power Saving Options)
    I have submitted a bug report to Apple hopefully they will look into it.
    Hope this helps.

  • Problem with Mac OS X Lion reinstall - Cannot install on server volume

    Hi
    I have a MacbookPro 2011 that has been upgraded to Lion from Snow Leopard. I can log on and use the computer but I want to reinstall Lion and make a clean start. I have created a rcovery partition on an external drive and booted to this partition using the option command when re-booting. The Lion install process goes well until the screen which asks you to select the disk where you want to install Mac OS X Lion. The Macintosh HD drive is there, but I cannot select it as I get the following message with it:
    You cannot install Mac OS X on a server volume. You need to use disk utility to erase this volume before you can continue to install Mac OS X.
    I have no idea why the install is seeing my hard drive as a server volume. I just want to install OS X Lion, preferably using the archive and install option, on a standard MacbookPro. If I go ahead and erase the HD  will I still be able to install Lion? How will Apple know that I have already paid for the Lion upgrade if the main HD is erased? I have already created a clone of the existing HD so I have a backup of all files I need.

  • Problem with mac os x lion audio mute and web video playback

    I have a 15" MacBook Pro I7
    Strangest thing started happening ever since I installed Adobe Masters Collection Trial Version CS6.
    Randomly, and I can pinpoint exactly when, all of a sudden I will loose my sound.  The muting goes off and I can't get it back on again no matter what I try.  Then I loose web-video playback.  Nothing will playback beyond 11 seconds.  I followed all the support community advice on how to handle this situation with no luck.  Resetting the SCM does nothing.  The ONLY way I can fix it is with a re-install of Mac OS X Lion!  I've reinstalled twice (fixed the problem both times) but the problem just keeps coming back. 
    I'm guessing it's a software issue of somesort but I'm not exactly sure what the problem is or how to fix it.  Any advice?

  • Mail problems since latest OSX mountain lion update

    Since I updated to the latest version of OSX Mountain Lion my Macbook Pro is very slow starting (up to 2 minutes) and my mail program is always stucking (colour-ball turning) so that I have to shut down and restart.
    Does anybody have a solution for these problems?
    Thanks!

    So it's a new 2012 non-Retina model... there are a couple of things that you might want to try - even with only 4GB of RAM (and I truly feel that 8GB is the 'sweet spot' for any modern MBP) you should be having slow startup or Mail beachballs.
    First, let's boot into Recovery mode by holding down the Command and R keys during startup. At the bottom of the window, you'll want to open Disk Utility. Select your hard drive from the left pane and verify and then repair permissions. Some won't be 'fixed' but that's OK. Then with the hard drive still selected, verify your hard drive. If any errors pop up, go ahead and repair the hard drive.
    If neither of these things fix the problem, you might want to redownload and reinstall 10.8.2, using the 'combo' updater found here. Also make certain that you install (or reinstall) the 10.8.2 supplemental update - here.
    And if that doesn't work, we'll just have to dig a little deeper.
