Safari 5.1 doesn't open homepage since installing Lion.

I recently upgraded to Lion. Now when I launch Safari, it opens the last visited webpages instead of my home page. How do I turn this feature off? I want it to open to my homepage when I launch Safari and I can't find a way to fix this. All help is greatly appreciated. Thanks so much!!

Hello Tyj
Go to System Preferences / General. Deselect: Restore windows when quitting and re-opening apps under Number of recent items.
That should do the trick
Thanks

Many years ago synced iCal with Microsoft program. Since installing Lion whenever I try to create an event in iCal it flashes up message "Unable to open Microsoft sync services Power PC applications no longer supported." How do I get rid of message?

Lion no longer supports PowerPC apps. If this is Microsoft Office 2008 (Entourage 2008) then you should disable the syncing services. (I don't have Office 2008 installed anymore so I don't know exactly what it's called anymore.) If you have Microsoft Office 2004 or earlier, then it can't be run on Lion at all since Lion removed Rosetta, which is what allowed a PPC app to run on an Intel based Mac.
Also, I believe Microsoft removed sync services from the current Outlook 2011 (which replaces Entourage) so even upgrading to a newer version of Microsoft Office will not get you back that calendar sync feature. Supposedly Microsoft is working on a new syncing system, but I wouldn't hold my breath.

Pages '09 won't open Word documents since installing Lion

Since installing Lion I can no longer open Word documents. I get the following window
My intel iMac is just a year old and all software is current, both Lion and Pages. If I transfer the word documents to my 4 year old Macbook running the same Pages and Snow Leopard the files open as they should. Can anyone suggest a solution. I would be very grateful. Thanks.

That's what I have done, but then I am a long term Apple user and wised up years ago.

That does sound like you are simply double clicking on the exported .doc file which will open Word.
Try dragging it onto Pages or right mouse clicking > Open with…

Imac Intel freezin & crashing since installing lion

My late 2009 24" iMac has been freezin and crashing since installing lion. Sometimes red dots appear on the display and sometimes the image breaks up and then freezes. Happens in Safari, Photoshop, Word and other programs. Is it a NVIDIA driver issue? Is there a fix?

I don't know if this helps, but OS X Lion has to re-index all of the files (correct me if I'm wrong), therefore, if you have just installed OS X Lion, you need to give it some time untill it has indexed all the files again (which could take a while if you have loads of files), after this it should return to normal.
Otherwise, a clean install?

Weird keyboard quirks since installing Lion

Ever since installing Lion, my keyboard has been acting weird.
I can't quite figure out what's going on. So far, I've just discovered a few weird things, like:
I can't use left shift to capitalize T, though it can capitalize every other letter, and I can capitalize it with right shift. What?
Normally I use cmd-shift-[ or cmd-shift-] to switch through tabs in Google Chrome. I can't use the right cmd to activate this, and I can only use it to select the previous tab, with [. Also tried adding cmd-shift-] as a shortcut in sys prefs, but it won't accept it.
The sys prefs F1-12 behavior preference is flipped from what it should be.
I'm sure there will be more, but that's just what I've discovered so far. There are no hardware issues with any keys. Restarting doesn't help. I'm totally baffled.

@willadler,
Check to see if this issue is occuring system-wide by creating a test account (System Preferences > Users & Groups). After creating a new account and logging in as that new user, does the issue still occur? If so, then it might be a system-wide Login Item, so try Safe Boot to be sure, however, if the keyboard works fine in that new user account, then try the following:
• Delete (or Move) the following files from your home folder:
~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.systempreferences.plist
~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.systempreferences.plist.lockfile
~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.universalaccess.plist
~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.universalaccess.plist.lockfile
• Logout and log back in for the changes to take effect, and test the keyboard (NOTE: deleting the above files will reset much of the customizations you have made in System Preferences, so I'd recommend Moving them to the Desktop in case you need to restore them)

Six kernel panics since installing Lion

So I've had six kernel panics since installing Lion on my sandy bridge MBP. Usually running safari, mail, and excel when they occur. Weird third-party process or something? I actually don't have many applications installed on this computer. Any thoughts?
Perhaps this has something to do with it but I don't know, when looking at my login items there's a flag next to iTunesHelper. I don't know what the flag means.
Thanks

The flag simply means hide this application after it automatically launches. It should have nothing to do with your kernal panic. You need to post the relevant log message for folks to analyse.
There are others who can help with that; I'm not really good at reading the logs.
Although it shouldn't be responsible, you might want to take gfxCardStatus out of your startup just in case. You can always put it back in if that's not the culprit. Others have used it without any kernal panics, so it's probably a bad WAG.

Why since installed Lion on my IMac it happened many times that my computer freeze and I have to restart everything before something work again?

Why since installed Lion on my IMac it happened many times that my computer freeze and I have to restart everything before something work again?

To get rid of "pop-up ads and other crap on my computer when I am on the internet", click on Safari in the Menu bar, and select Preferences. Next select Extensions. Delete all of them. Restart Safari.
The first step in addressing the black screen is an SMC reset.
Shut down the computer.
Plug in the MagSafe power adapter to a power source, connecting it to the Mac if its not already connected.
On the built-in keyboard, press the (left side) Shift-Control-Option keys and the power button at the same time.
Release all the keys and the power button at the same time.
Press the power button to turn on the computer.
Note: The LED on the MagSafe power adapter may change states or temporarily turn off when you reset the SMC.

Time machine not backing up since installing Lion

Since installing Lion, time machine get stuck "preparing for backup" but never goes through with it.
Need guidance. Thanks.

Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ If you’re running Mac OS X 10.7 or later, open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the page that opens.
Select "system.log" from the file list. Enter "backupd" (without the quotes) in the String Matching text field. Post the messages from the last backup, beginning with "Starting standard backup." Post the log text, please, not a screenshot.
If there are runs of repeated messages, please post only one example of each. Do not post many repetitions of the same message.
Some personal information, such as the names of your files, may be included — edit that out, too, but don’t remove the context.

Since installing Lion the desktop view occassionally jumps to 'grid' view when I turn the computer on. Why? It is set to manual in the view menu.

Thanks for that information!
I'm sure I will be calling AppleCare, but the problem is, they charge for the phone calls don't they? Because I don't have money to be spending to be on the phone with a support service.
In other things, it seemed like the only time my MacBook was working was when I had Snow Leopard without the 10.6.8 update download that was supposed to be done to prepare for OS X Lion.
When I look at the information of my HD it says that I have 10.6.8 but that was the install that it claimed to have failed and caused me to restart resulting in all of the repeated problems.
Also, because my computer is currently down, and I've lost all files how would that effect the use of my iPhone? Because if it doesn't get fixed by the time OS 5 is released, how would I be able to upgrade?!

My system preferences freezes since installing Lion

My system preferences freezes since installing Lion can no longer gain access AT ALL, frankly really annoyed as Mac is only 3 months old, any idea when the bug fixes are happening.

Could be corrupted preferences...
Go to ~/Library/Preferences
Move the com.apple.systemprefeences.plist file from the Preferences folder to the Trash.
Restart your Mac, open System Preferences, try again.

Very erratic behaviour since installing Lion - where do I start

Since installing Lion a few weeks ago on my Macmini I've have a couple of issues which are bugging (no pun intended) the life out of me. I'm almost at the point of doing a complete erase and install of Lion it's that bad. Normally I always do an erase and install when upgrading OSX but the setup of my mini is such that it would take me a long time to rebuild it from scratch. That'll teach me.. I just upgraded Lion on top of Snow Leopeard, whereas on my MBP I did a clean install of Lion and no problems.
Here are the issues on my mini:
1) In the past couple of days I've had a couple of kernal panics "You need to restart your computer..." I've never had this before on any of my Mac's. The only thing that has changed on my system is that I've updated a driver for my WD MyBook drive, which I use as my TM backup. Since upgrading to Lion I switched off time machine and only turned this back on because I thought I'd reached a general steady state with my system and after installing the driver update. I've since disabled TM so fingers crossed no more problems..
2) On serveral occasions, whilst using back to my mac, to screenshare my mini on my MBP, I've had windows and hard drives disappear off screen. If I do a right mouse click on my finder I can view the windows on screen but when I select them they disapear. I have a feeling that mission control is doing something, but I never use this, nor do I have anything set-up, other than the intial configuration. This is *really* doing my head in. I can usually fix it by changing the screen dimensions on my mini through the Display control panel or switching my TV over to the hdmi input so I can view the desktop directly on my TV (as opposed to screensharing).
I'm not really sure if this is a problem with mission control, or back to my mac, or a video input problem (I'm using a mini displayport to dvi and dvi to hdmi cable to connect the mini to my TV).
Any troubleshooting suggestions would be greatly appreciated, particulalry for issue 2.
