Since I have installed Lion onto my iMac it's impossible to to copy any video file from the mac to an external support (ups-stick, Timecapsule). What's happened? What can I do?

If you just did upgrade Lion, give it some time. I recall having similar problems and some articles mention heavy background work after install - such as re-indexing for Spotlight etc. I couldn't even copy from folder to folder or e.g. iphoto to folder on the same disk. Went away after a day or two though.
I do however still have a problem with AFP access to one of the lion machines - kills it's network adaptors rather quickly. No luck solving this so far :|

  • I replaced my 2010-2011 iMac internal HD i dont have an install disk i created one with my external HD but when i go to install lion onto my imac it stays at the apple logo screen.HELP ME PLEASE!

    Boot from the original Install disc that came with the computer and then format the drive Mac OS Extended (Journaled) using the GUID partition. Then  you can re-install OS X. If you no longer have the original media call AppleCare with the serial number of the machine (look on the bottom of the stand) and for a nominal fee they will ship you replacement media.
    The chances are very good you will have fan problems if you used an off-the-shelf HD, beginning in 2009 Apple began using HD's from vendors that incorporated heat sensors into the HD. If you did not buy the same type of HD your computer will think the HD is overheating causing the fans to run at full speed.

  • Does anyone have problems with hotspot connections or WLAN since they have installed Lion?

    Does anyone have problems with hotspot connections or WLAN since they have installed Lion?

    Same problem for me: Since update to Lion my WLAN connection to my router (AVM fritz!box fon 7141) get's lost almost every time the computer is on idle for a couple of minutes. Deactivating and reactivating helps, but of course only until the problem occurs again.
    BTW: I'm running Mac OS X Lion (10.7.3) on a iMac 27" 3.2 GHz i3 (mid 2010 model).
    I'm really annoyed by this problem and looking forward for APPLES fix.

  • Since I have installed Lion my computer doesn't shut down properly and I have constant problems with LR and Photoshop. Any suggestions?

    Since I have installed Lion my computer does not shut down properly. I sometimes cannot eject a flash drive or eject a disc and my LR and photoshop constantly crash. I ran all the updates. Any suggestions? I purchased the upgrade online so I dont have a disc to reinstall it.

    If you have more than one user account, these instructions must be carried out as an administrator.
    If you have an optical drive, make sure there is no disc in it.
    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.
    Step 1
    Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left.
    Enter "BOOT_TIME" (without the quotes) in the search box. Note the timestamps of those log messages, which refer to the times when the system was booted. Now clear the search box and scroll back in the log to the last boot time when you had the problem. Post the messages logged during the time something abnormal was happening. That time might be before or after the boot.
    For example, if the problem is a slow startup taking three minutes, post the messages timestamped within three minutes after the boot time, not before. If the problem is a system crash or shutdown failure, post the messages from before the boot time, when the system was about to crash or was failing to shut down. In either case, please include the BOOT_TIME message at the beginning or the end of the log extract.
    Post the log text, please, not a screenshot. If there are runs of repeated messages, post only one example of each. Don’t post many repetitions of the same message.
    Important: Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Edit it out by search-and-replace in a text editor before posting.
    Step 2
    Still in Console, look under System Diagnostic Reports for crash or panic logs, and post the most recent one, if any. In the interest of privacy, I suggest you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if present (it may not be.) Please don’t post shutdownStall or hang logs — they're very long and not helpful.

  • I have installed Lion on an iMac Core duo by mistake - how do I rectify..?

    I have installed Lion on an iMac Core Duo, via firewire from an iMac i7.
    The Core Duo now goes to grey screen, folder with "?", then the "prohibited" sign for a 30 secs and then turns off,
    (I now realise Lion is 64bit and the core duo only supports 32bit...).
    The core duo will chime but will not boot off the original install disk or mount as a fire wire target disk.
    How do I wipe Lion and reinstall Leopard...?

    Sounds like hardware error.
    Maybe the target-mode did something bad to the EFI, like fed it 210 proof "Everclear" ...
    Try a diferent USB keyboard ... 
    Last resort for me before Genius Bar is either SMC Reset (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964) and/or PRAM reset (http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.7/en/mh26871.html).
    I am out of ideas if the resets cannot bring back "C" boot.

  • I'm not able to copy and paste files from my mac to hard disk and usb. I have tried dragging the items to those devices but it won't work. I also have tried copying and pasting those files onto those devices but that doesn't work too. Can any one help?

    Hi BobRz
    Thanks for you suggestion but it didn't work - are there other ways for solving this problem? Or is it because my files that I want to copy and paste onto my hard disk etc are too big? (However there is space on my hard disk and it works on a PC)

  • My windows(8.1 64bit) partition is read only from the mac(yosemite) side of things. Anybody have a clue on how to fix this? Also, slightly frustrating as well, windows crashes every time I attempt to open a file from the mac partition.

    my windows(8.1 64bit) partition is read only from the mac(yosemite) side of things. Anybody have a clue on how to fix this? Also, slightly frustrating as well, windows crashes every time I attempt to open a file from the mac partition.

    All Office applications will also try to open a temporary work file in the same location as the source file. This implies the source file directory also needs to be writable for this temporary file. Since the default HFS+ driver provides only read-only access, such temporary files will fail to open, and will cause the application to fail.
    As a test copy the file you want to edit, say an Excel spreadsheet from the OSX file system to the C: drive on the Windows side and try to open it. If you look in this directory, you should see two files, the source and a temporary file. You may have to force the temporary file to be opened on a read-write file system, by manipulating the folder for temporary files.

  • I am trying to re-install OSX onto my second hand MacBook - I need to redeem my OSX purchase on the Mac App store

    I need to get the OSX redemption code logged into my App le ID account for the OSX re-install to work.
    I cannot log onto the App Store from my MacBook and I have no other Apple devices.
    The Mac App Store only allows log on from an OSX device.
    My friend is concerned that if I log on to the App Store with my credentials it will corrupt his iMAC (used to run his business) - is this an issue?
    If not, when the redemption code is entered, I trust this won't overwrite his existing OSX?
    Will this get my MacBook re-istalled once we get the redemption code in?
    Thank you very much for helping

    I cannot log onto the App Store from my MacBook and I have no other Apple devices.
    As long as you're running OS X, 10.6.6 or later, you should be able to.
    My friend is concerned that if I log on to the App Store with my credentials it will corrupt his iMAC (used to run his business) - is this an issue?
    Absolutely not. He would have to login to your App Store account before anything could possibly happen.
    If not, when the redemption code is entered, I trust this won't overwrite his existing OSX?
    It won't change his computer any more than logging into your account will change my Mac, or anyone else's.
    Will this get my MacBook re-istalled once we get the redemption code in?
    You'll have to explain this further. What version of OS X is your Mac running now? What model MacBook do you have?

  • IMac G5 died and I am trying to access files from the HD via my PowerBook

    My iMac G5 died- evidently because of a power supply issue. Was told it could be up to five business days for repairs but there are files on my hard drive I need access to this weekend....preferably today. Yes, I do backups but I do them once a week and, of course, it has been a week since my last and so I have several days worth of work on the computer I need.
    I removed the hard drive from the iMac and hooked it up to my PowerBook. The drive mounted and I can click on the User folder and then see my user account. But when I click on that folder, the contents are empty. I have rebooted, while holding down the Option Key, on the PowerBook to try and boot to my now external iMac hard drive, but it didn't see it. Another problem might be because the iMac HD is encrypted. How can I log into the iMac HD and access a few of my files (via the PowerBook) so I can copy them to the PowerBook to work on them while the iMac is down?

    If the G5 iMac's hard drive is still okay, you could pull the hard drive from the G5, put it in an external enclosure and hook that up to your G4 Powerbook. 
    Here is an example of an external HD enclosure:

  • How many macs can I install lion onto

    If I install Lion onto my imac can I also put it onto my macbook or do I have to purchase several copies?

    How To: Install OS X Lion on Multiple Macs
    Psst. Here’s a little-known secret that very few people know — even though Apple has done nothing to keep it a secret. One $29.99 purchase of Lion gets you an unlimited license to download it on as many Macs as you like. And it’s super simple to do, too.
    Mac App Store
    Corporate logic would dictate that one install of an operating system would equate to one purchase. But that’s not true of Lion, Apple’s latest iteration of its popular OS X operation system. With Lion, one purchase equals as many installations as you please — on as many computers as you like.
    Say you’ve already downloaded and installed Lion on your primary Mac, but you want to put it on a second machine. Maybe it’s your spouse’s Mac, or a parent or child, or even a friend, for that matter. Heck, it can be your boss at work if you want to suck up. Or just a total stranger on the street. You can give anyone you want a free download of Lion. Whether they use an iMac or a MacBook, it doesn’t matter. And it won’t cost you one extra cent. You just have to get brief access to their computer. Here’s what to do.
    On the second (or third, or fourth, etc.) Mac you want to install Lion on, open the Mac App Store.
    Go to the “Store” drop-down menu, and click on “Sign Out.” Then go back to the same menu and click “Sign In.”
    Here’s the key point. When the drop-down menu appears, sign in to this computer using the Apple ID that you used to download your original purchase of Lion.
    Click on the “Purchased” tab at the top of the App Store. You’ll be presented with a list of every app you’ve ever downloaded for your Mac. Find “OS X Lion” on this list. It should look like this:
    To the far right of Lion should be a button that says “Install.” Click it. You’ll probably get another drop-down menu asking for your password again. Just put it in and your download will begin immediately.
    Once the download is complete (which will take a while — it’s 4GB in size after all!) and the installation is done, remember to go back to the Mac App Store and sign out, so the user of this computer can sign back in with their Apple ID.

  • I have installed Lion and have problems to print PDF from prewiev.

    I have installed Lion and have problems to print PDF from prewiev. When trying to print Prewiev locks. Anyone out there with the same problem?

    Hello David and Nicole
    I just installed Lion on my iMac, which was purchased in 2007, and I cannot print from Preview; it keeps locking up and not responding. So, I have to force quit Preview. I have been sending error reports to Apple. I suggest everyone who has this problem, send error reports!
    I can print from other applications, like Pages, with my Canon Laserjet. I do not think it is a printer issue becasue I can print in other application.
    I took your advice and installed Adobe reader. Now I can print pdf's.
    Thanks
    Ed

  • I accidentally erased Lion from the mac app store

    I accidentally erased Lion from the mac app store "purchased" tab. I already bought it. How can i re-have it in that tab, in order to download the latest version and burn it ?
    Please help me, Luca.

    Go into the Mac App Store. Under the main menu, select "Store", then "View My Account". Sign in , then look under the hidden Purchases section, and un-hide the app you hid by "erasing" it from the purchases.
    Anamusic, that discussion is confusing, because it directs you to iTunes Store, which won't help the OP at all.

  • 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.
