Since i have installed OS Lion, my second screen has just gone grey. Why is this?
I can still see my mouse on it and right click for options; but there is no background and i cannot see any windows/apps. When using Snow Leopard i didn's have this issue, it is recent, since installing Lion. I have checked the monitor, it works as a main monitor of the Windows Computer, as a monitor for a PS3, on my familys(and my) MacBook Pro as a second screen. Can anyone help?

I am really cross with Apple for not involving the iDVD with Lion (even if it was an older version, they should atleast have made it compatible).
iDVD is compatable with Lion. I carried it over from Snow Leopard when I upgraded and it runs faultlessly. I do not know what has happened during your upgrade that has caused it to stop working properly.

My ipod will not let me use all but like 3 apps fully without closing me out of the app and i can only use safari or the app store for about 10 seconds without it shutting down the app. This has been happening for about 6 months after the upgrade to ios 4. Please help, should i take my ipod to an apple store?? It is a ipod 2nd generation itouch with ios 4.
We won't know until you try the procedure. The reset will not affect the content of the iPod.

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 :| -
Since I've installed Mountain Lion, my mail does not "UNBOLD" my read mail, even though I have checked in Preferences.
You don't sync the MM calendar anymore, you subscribe to it in iCal,
iCal>Preferences>Accounts, enter the details here.
MM should be the default calendar on all clients. -
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. -
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. -
I have installed mountain lion on my early 2009 macbook (not unibody) and it is terrible, it's like owning a windows pc again (almost) What can I do? I paid for mountain lion, is there any way of giving it back and getting a refund? obvisoulsy after unintalling it. I couldn't see any reason why it would be bad for my particular macbook, and it downloaded without a problem.
In what way is it terrible? Mountain Lion is pretty stable. If you are having problems, most likely they are unique to your particular system and can be fixed. If you don't like some of the new features, that does not constitute reason for a refund.
If that does not suit you, you will have to discuss a refund with Apple, as they are the only ones who can say. Note that the App Store terms do say that all sales are final, so you are not guaranteed a refund, especially since whatever problems you had are not due to defective software. -
I brought a macbook air 11 inch mid 2013 since i have updated mountain lion it shuts down automatically I have done SMC reset still I have the same issue... any suggestions??/
the thing is that when i did the clean install they did check with a hardware test first and nothing was wrong, i guess it was a false-positive, is there anything in the kernel report from which i can say it's either hardware or software related

Since I have update to Lion I have my print not scanning .My classic FTP not supported anymore
Since I have update to Lion I have my print not scanning,. My classic FTP not supported anymore!!!! what is goin on with this update??????
Recover the backup you made before you installed. If you didn't backup, make a backup down, and selectively recover pieces of the backup that will work with the older operating system after erase and reinstalling 10.6. See my backup FAQ*:
http://www.macmaps.com/backup.html
Before you do, you may find your scanner preferences in your printer just need to be set in the Print & Scan preferences in Apple menu -> System Preferences, or some open source scanner and printer drivers can work better*: http://www.macmaps.com/printersx.html
http://www.macmaps.com/macosxnative.html#SCANNER
And in the future ALWAYS backup your data before you install anything. That way you can recover where you went before. Don't cross post in the forum if you can avoid it. Remember this is a user to user forum, so responses may take awhile if you didn't post in an area that really is related to your question. Issues with Lion are best handled in the Lion forum. But as long as I have a chance, I'll respond to this thread. -
I have installed Mountain Lion 10.8.2 but still cannot get email from my work exchange account. I'd appreciate any help. Thank you.
You can go to the Apple online store and purcahse a copy of Mountain Lion. This will give you a redemption code, which you can use to download Mountain Lion from the App Store. Unfortuantely, I'm not aware of any other way to legally purchase it. I have never seen Apple release Muontain Lion on DVD.
In terms of Apple Service, they just need the serial number of the machine to check the purcahse date. It is usually correct, to within a few weeks. A quick Google search should give you the correct number to dial.
I hope this helps. -
I have installed Mountain Lion 10.8.1 but still cannot get email from my work exchange account. I'd appreciate any help. Thank you.
I would delete the account and try to re-enter it. Also, you have to let your firm's IT department know that you want to sync work email on your personal devices before they actually work.

Since I've installed Mountain Lion, I am having lock up issues with multiple programs. MS Outlook has crashed and I've lost all my folders. HELP?
okay I've finally been able to get tor and all the other programs to work according to my plan the only thing that's still making problems is that iptables doesn't work as I want it to, when I start chromium without proxy settings privoxy doesn't seem to forward the information to polipo.. do I need to add another rule to iptables.rules in order for the program to know it has to reroute the information again or how can I get this to work? and is there any way to run rtorrent with proxy support?
anyway, problem 2 and 3 are still to be solved.
and does anybody know where i can get a good dansguardian blacklist that was not designed for 6 year old children and for which I don't need to subscribe? I'm still getting these partypoker popups -.-
//e: with iptables it's the same thing as described in the first post. https works, http doesnt. I get the output "Invalid header received from client." on http sites. still no idea why though.. (and the https-version of torcheck.xenubite says i'm tor unprotected while starting the browser with iptables)

Hello,
I have installed mountain lion on my macbook pro ,but it made my mac very slow. Would someone please tell me how to uninstall this one and reinstall snow leopard? I tried to do it by my original CDs but macbook pro didn't let me to do it.
ThanksIt would be easier to just fix whatever is making your machine slow.
I wrote a little diagnostic program to help show what might be causing these problems. Download EtreCheck from http://www.etresoft.com/download/EtreCheck.zip, run it, and paste the results here.
