Since installing Lion

Since installing Lion on my i Mac I have noted: 1. wifi connect screen pops up occasionally, 2. when I leave the computer idle for awhile the cursor is frozen & I have to re-start it. This is new for me.

when I leave the computer idle for awhile the cursor is frozen & I have to re-start it.
Does that always happen after a certain amount of time?

Since installing LION having problems getting photo images to upload?

since installing LION having problems getting photo images to upload? anyone else havie this problem? I did finally get a message that the format was wrong, but I have changed nothing on my camera. Only change was the installing of LION.

This is from the Kodak site which says there is no Lion compatible driver/software yet, but it is coming in late August:

If you don't want to wait there is always this kind of device for less than $10 (I don't own or endorse it):

Trouble connecting since installing Lion

Since installing Lion on my Macbook Pro, I'm having trouble acquiring and maintaining connections with my WiFi signal. No such issues with my Snow Leopard/Leopard Macs, PCs, iPhone and iPad.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
JD

JD, I have experienced the same ... losing connection frequently ... what did it for me was to unplug my router (Time Capsule) and network extension (Apple Extreme) for about 15 minutes, then plug back in ... don't know if it will work for you, but it surely is worth trying I'd say

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.

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)

Problem with wifi connection since installing Lion OS X

Has anyone had problems since installing Lion OS X with there wifi connection? I keep getting bumped off my connection in multiple different locations ....that i never had a problem before. I installed Lion on my laptop and my Mac and I am having the same problem with both. Is there something i need to change on my settings?

One way to look at this problem is to install a Stumbler program and look at what channels are being used in your immediate area. You may find the channel you are using is very busy, and switching your Router to a channel with less competition, or setting your Router to automatic channel selection, improves the situation.
Another way to address this problem, especially since it seems to correlate with software Upgrade, is to set it up from scratch again:
System Preferences > Network > WiFI/Airport > ( Assist me ) > ( Set Up ) ...
... and re-specify from scratch, especially using a New Location.

Can't print to my Fuji Xerox C1110 since installing Lion

I can't print to my Fuji Xerox C1110 since installing Lion 4 days ago. I've installed the latest driver (v.2.2). I click on the Print button and nothing happens. I've tried 'Add a printer' but no luck. Is anyone else having the same problem or knows a solution?
Cheers,
David

Where did you get the driver? Was it from Apple's servers?

Since installing lion i can't get my camera to work on all chat rooms?

since installing lion i cant turn on the camera, it works on facetime but not webcam chat rooms

I am having the same problem, I have submited for help on many different sites including adobe. I will let you know if i find out anything. From what I've found out so far is that this is affecting all Lion users.

Since installing Lion my Apple TV can not synch to my MAC.

I receive the messageCheck that any firewall software running on this computer has been set to allow communication on port 3689.

There are no firewalls activated. I have followed all the information provided. I have had nothing by issues with the iMAC since installing Lion OS. So far the worst product from Apple. Wish Apple would have inform everyone that Lion would not be compatible with older MACs and 1st generation Apple TV.

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.

Posting "Check the 'More like this'" area and not simply providing the answer is a great way to make these groups worthless.
You're ignoring context. On the old Apple Discussion Groups I never posted replies like that, instead giving people relatively detailed answers. The new Apple Support Communities made things worse by introducing certain inefficiencies. Then came Lion. The flood of messages that came with Lion required a painful choice for any of the people who had been helping here: (1) Give quality responses to a few questions and ignore the rest. (2) When applicable, give a brief answer such as the one that you found objectionable. (3) Give up all the other normal activities of life and spend full time trying to answer questions here.
People who needed help with Lion problems seemed to have trouble discovering existing message threads that described how to solve their problems. I never posted the suggestion of "Check the 'More like this' area" without verifying that the help that the poster needed could be found there. Even doing that, what I posted saved me time that I could use to help someone else.
The people helping here are all volunteers. None of them is being paid for the time they spend here. They all have a life outside of Apple Support Communities. It's arrogant of you to demand that people helping here spend more time than they already do.
