    Hi b,
    Have you restarted yet?

  • I recently upgraded to Lion and i find that my computer is running slow and applications are crashing.  For example I have Word 2011 for Mac and it crashes all the time I end up losing my work.  It often happens when I'm in notebook trying to record.

    i recently upgraded to Lion and i find that my computer is running slow and applications are crashing.  For example I have Word 2011 for Mac and it crashes all the time I end up losing my work.  It often happens when I'm in class using notebook and when I press record my computer starts thinking and it freezes.
    Also, I feel that it overheats often and my battery runs out pretty quickly.  I had the macbook (black) and this never happened before.  I'm not sure if I'm doing something wrong or if there is something with my computer.I bought my computer summer 2010, I don't think this should be happening. Please Help......

    This is exactly what keeps happening to mine too.  I was at a conference taking notes, and I was
    using the Notebook template, and doing some audio recording simultaneously.  About 3 hours into the conference (not consistently recording, but on and off with the sessions) my file wouldn't save anymore, saying something like "File cannot be modified while in use with another program" and "Invalid file name" when I would go back into my folder to look for it). I tried installing some updates from Microsoft, and when I restarted, I was at least able to open my old notes again, and so far it looks like the audio was working.  However, today at the conference, the same thing happened again, but I wasn't actively recording any audio (though after I had copy and pasted my second file of notes into the original, I went back to using it after re-naming it). 
    Does the crash happen to you under similar cirucumstances?  The update might help a little, but it is definitely not the solution.  Does anyone have any solutions?  Lion shouldn't be this buggy... I moved to Mac to get away from the garbage of bugs and compatibility issues...

  • I recently upgraded to Lion and I had Adobe InDesign which is no longer supported. Problem is, I have several files I need but cannot open because it was PowerPC based. What do I need to do? Thanks in advance!

    I recently upgraded to Lion and I had Adobe InDesign which is no longer supported. Problem is, I have several files I need but cannot open because it was PowerPC based. What do I need to do? Thanks in advance!

    Assuming you registered your older version, you can retrieve the serial number by going to Adobe's site and go into your account. On this page, click the My products link in the right hand column of the first three. You'll be asked to enter your user account name and password. Once in, a list of all software you've purchased will be shown, along with their serial numbers.
    That said, it really won't help you much. A PowerPC only version of InDesign means it's no newer than the original CS version, and won't be worth a cent towards an upgrade discount. To get CS6, you'd have to pay full price again.

  • I recently upgraded to Lion, and immediately started having consistent problems with Open Office 12 (would hang, and need a Force quit to recover). Has anybody else seen these problems? Any solutions other than going back to Snow Leopard? (I did).

    Hi Pete. The repair of disk permissions can help resolve  any application crashing or misbehaving.
    As for Lion and the two camps, I think that is a reasonable observation. In my office we have about a dozen Mac's and about one third of those Mac's had problems after updating from 10.6 to 10.7. The main problem for these Mac's was a loss of wifi stability. But for the other two-thirds, Lion was a smooth transition.
    Personally, my Lion experience was fine. But I did get a new i7 MacBook Pro with Lion already installed and only had to migrate my user data from a 10.6.8 TM backup.
    So I think that is a key for Lion's operational success. A clean install of Lion on a new Mac would not cause too many operational issues. But an installation, or more correctly, an update to Lion from SL increased the chances of failure for some users - especially when old software & plugins resided on the Mac. And I would say that they were the people that you saw at the Apple store.
    As for the "latest release of Lion fixed my problems" statement, my experience with these and other forums is that people mostly only go there to complain about the problems they are having. If they are having no problems then they either keep it to themselves or they try to help the users who are experiencing trouble...

  • HT2020 we upgraded to Lion and lost iChat.  Is there any way to continue with iChat?

    We use iChat for conference calls.  When we upgraded to Lion it was replaced with facetime so it appears we lost the ability to use iChat.  It does not appear facetime allows conference calls (more than 2 locations to connect at the same time).  Is there any way to obtain a multipul connection so we can continue with multipul connections?

    HI,
    Lion = OS X 10.7.x and comes with iChat 6
    Mountain Lion = OS X 10.8.x and comes with Messages.
    Messages is iChat +
    The Plus bit is the iMessages Service from the iOS stable.
    It is compatible with Messages on the iPhone and iPad.
    It takes an Apple ID to "register" with the iMessages service.
    However all the "Accounts" you had with AIM or Jabber work just the same in Messages.
    By default the Buddy lists are combined (but can be unlinked in the general section of the Preferences) are are not on show at the App Start.
    As the Other thread says you get sent to Make your iMessages Registration first before looking at what were iChat Logins.
    From your Buddy Lists you can make the same 3 or 4 way Video chats you did in iChat.

  • I recently upgraded to Lion and my 2004 Microsoft Office no longer functions.  So all of my word docs are unreadable with the Lion system.  If I buy pages, will they be converted?  Also, I used Microsoft Word for editing docs, making comments and tracking

    I need help.  All of my word docs from Microsoft word 2004 cannot be read in Lion.  I can't believe I'll have to pay for a Word upgrade.  Is it worth it?  Is pages as good?  Will all of my docs be recognized once I upgrade to the current word or Pages?  I tried Open Office, but that doesn't synch all of the previous Word docs, it needs to be done one doc at a time.

    It would have been nice to know this before buying a $29 upgrade to Lion. Which now will add a necessary $150 upgrade. Some people may have waited to upgrade to Lion had they known this.
    The fact that Lion is unable to run PowerPC only applications is publicized for months.
    I'm sure that it's well known in the heart of Amazonian forest

  • I recently upgraded to Lion and am using the current version.  I cannot remove the guest account from the startup screen.  I disabled it in the system pref but it still appears.

    I downloaded and installed the most recent verison of Lion for my iMac.  After doing so I noticed that my start up screen now has a "guest" account.  I went into settings and disabled the "guest" account.  Still, the startup sceen displays a "guest" account and allows one to start the computer in a "safari" only mode.
    How do I removed the "guest" account from the start up screen and disable access via the "guest" account?

    Have a read here OS X 10.7.2 with iCloud showing Guest user account at log-in
    To get rid of it, uncheck "Find my Mac" in System Peferences -> iCloud

  • I have a MacBook and I recently upgraded to Lion, but I can't do everything Lion has to offer. For example I can't do the 3 finger slide up gesture to go to mission control it won't go? Why?

    I have a MacBook and I recently upgraded to Lion, but I can't do everything Lion has to offer. For example I can't do the 3 finger slide up gesture to go to mission control it won't go? Why?

    To see which model you have go to the Apple in the upper left corner and select About This Mac, then click on More Info. When System Profiler comes up check the Model Identifier.
    For MacBooks it's only the Late 2008 model 5,1 Aluminum Unibody and the Late 2009 model 6,1 and Mid 2010 model 7,1 White Unibody that have the multi-touch trackpad.

  • I recently upgraded to lion 10.7 and lost my iWork apps. Can I reload iWork?

    Yes, if you purchased them from the App Store just redownload them. If you have the boxed set just reinstall them from the DVD.

  • I recently upgraded to Lion on an iMac and I am trying to run Garageband but get message telling me that the instrument library is invalid and I should choose a valid Instrument Folder or re-install Garageband. Where do I find such a folder?

    I recently upgraded to Lion on an iMac and I am trying to run Garageband but get message telling me that the instrument library is invalid and I should choose a valid Instrument Folder or re-install Garageband. Where do I find such a folder?

    Thanks very much. Yes, I am using the installer files and serial number from the URL you referenced above. I have spent many hours trying to get it to work. I would love some help!!
    The problem is that the instructions that come in the pdf with the downloaded files do not work, because the files that download from that page do not have the names referred to in the pdf, and most of the things that are referred to in the instructions do not happen. Here is what actually happened.
    When I downloaded the files from the website, these are the files that downloaded:
    I double-clicked each one and they extracted into two different folders.
    Then I read a message on the forum that said to move all the extractred files into the same folder, so I moved all files into one file at C:\Creative Suite CS2\Adobe Creative Suite 2.0 as was pictured in the forum message. Here are screen shots showing all of the files in that folder I have now:
    So then I double clicked the "Setup" file and I got this error message:
    So then I tried to install the programs separately from the installer inside the folders Photoshop and Illustrator. I got this far and entered the serial number from the website:
    But then I got this error message, even though I was using the files and serial number exactly from the website:
    I tried both photoshop and illustrator and the same thing happened.
    (I also looked at Solution 2 that you mentioned above but I don't have anything called VCOM on the computer. Also the error message that I got is not that one.)
    I think I really need a set of instructions that lists the steps in order to do, but based on the files that actually download from the website and what happens when you extract the files. I feel as if I have all of the proper files but it still doesn't work.
    Thank you very much!

  • Recently upgraded to Lion O/S and now experiencing Microsoft Outlook crashing

    Have recently upgrade to Lion O/S and my Microsoft Outlook application crashing regularly when accessing the email client .

    I think you're using a Lion developer version. Open  > About this Mac > More Info, and copy Software here. Did you purchase Lion in the App Store?

  • I recently upgraded to lion ,my screen keeps flashing and the dock flickers on and off

    I recently upgraded to lion on my mac book pro but the dock appears and disappears (flashes) and the screen flashes also.  It occurs most when I have Game Manager on the screen although I don't subscribe to it.  I have a game called Cradle of Rome but I have to click the game manager icon to bring it up. That creates another problem - the game keeps freezing up.

    Launch the Messages app from your Applications folder.
    Then click and hold the Messages app icon in the Dock then click Options > Keep in Dock

  • I recently upgraded to ios7 and now my PC is not recognizing my iphone

    I am having several problems.  I recently upgraded to ios7 and now my PC (Windows 7) is not recognizing my iphone.  1) I am getting an error message when itunes opens: "Itunes could not connect to the iphone because it is locked with a passcode. You must enter your passcode on the iphone before it can be used with itunes."  How did it get locked and how do I unlock it without losing my data?  What do they mean by passcode?  I don't have a 4-number code to get into my iphone activated.  In fact, I've never had a passcode.
    2) I cannot download my photos from my iphone onto my computer because my computer doesn't recognize my iphone.  In other words, my iphone does not show up on my computer (no iphone icon, no DCIM folder). 
    3) This is a separate issue but it is also very confusing: I went online to check my iCloud and I cannot see any data (icloud.com).  But I know that I set up iCloud when I upgraded to ios7 and it backs up my data every night. What am I doing wrong, am I unable to see my data and photos?
    Why is this happening?  It was bad enough that when I upgraded to ios7, I lost my Notes - I have no idea why they didn't return.  But now essentially my iphone is not recognized when connected to my computer and this is very frustrating.  I have read numerous previous postings regarding downloading photos onto the PC and regarding this passcode error and cannot find a resolution, so I would appreciate any help.

    No problem!

  • I upgraded to Lion and now my iPhoto won't open and I don't know where my pictures are

    I upgraded to Lion and now i don't have Iphoto anymore.  Where did all of my pictures go??

    To re-install iPhoto
    1. Put the iPhoto.app in the trash (Drag it from your Applications Folder to the trash)
    2a: On 10.5:  Go to HD/Library/Receipts and remove any pkg file there with iPhoto in the name.
    2b: On 10.6: Those receipts may be found as follows:  In the Finder use the Go menu and select Go To Folder. In the resulting window type
    /var/db/receipts/
    2c: on 10.7 they're at
    /private/var/db/receipts
    A Finder Window will open at that location and you can remove the iPhoto pkg files.
    3. Re-install.
    If you purchased an iLife Disk, then iPhoto is on it.
    If iPhoto was installed on your Mac when you go it then it’s on the System Restore disks that came with your Mac. Insert the first one and opt to ‘Install Bundled Applications Only.
    If you purchased it on the App Store or have a Recent Mac you can find it in your Purchases List.
