Since upgrading to Lion I can´t read dvd´s burnt in Windows.

Since I upgraded my OS to Lion, my Macbook Pro can´t recognize DVD´s made in PC´s. After inserting the DVD my Mac hows a message as if I had inserted a blank DVD. I´ve tried to open the files in other Macbook´s with Snow Leopard and the videos play fine. Anyone have a solution? I tried rebooting DVD player but nothing!

Since upgrading to Lion, I can no longer talk to my windows network

I have upgraded to LIon and had not encountered any problems until yesterday when my remote printer on a windows pc refused to print. Whilst the mac book sees the network, workgroup and pc (NetBios name) it will not connect to it.
Has anybody seen this before?

my Lion machines, too, won't connect to my winsloth computer. luckily, i still have a MBP running Snow Leopard ...

Since upgrading to Lion i can no longer see other computers in my network and vice versa. What has gone on?

As the title suggests! I can no longer see any of the computers in my network, Mac or otherwise.
I have checked sharing permissions on all required computers and all seems to be good and have disabled firewalls.
I notice a few people have had similar problems with screen sharing but I am not even seeing another station to pottentialy share a screen with!

Since upgrading to Lion I can no longer mount my external hard drive

I backed up about 10 minutes before installing Lion when I was on Snow Leopard. I know my drive works fine and there are no issues with it.
However, when Lion was installed, I wanted to perform a Time Machine Backup, but it said my backup disk was unavailable. I checked in the Finder and it wasn't showing up in the side bar, even though it was connected to my Mac and the indicator light on the hard drive itself was flashing - suggesting drive activity. I can also hear the drive spinning.
I opened Disk Utility and the external hard drive appears in the side bar and it says 'WD My Passport 071A Media'. Underneath that is the 'Time Machine Backups' drive which is greyed out. I have tried right clicking on it and choosing Mount but it won't mount, and I have also tried Repair Disk which doesn't finish, but also doesn't report any errors either. If I run Verify Disk and Repair Disk on the 'WD My Passport 071A Media' drive (which is the same drive) it does not report any problems and says the drive is working fine.
I have tried updating the drive's firmware and using different ports but neither have worked. I have also tried rebooting my Mac.
I really need to use this drive to backup and I can't format it because I can't afford to lose any data on there. Could someone please give me some advice or tell me how to fix this? I would appreciate it so much.
Thanks,
Nathan

If you want.
or maybe install Snow Leopard using the disc it came on with my Mac and just set it up from a Time Machine Backup on my external hard drive (since it works under SL)?
Did you install Lion on an empty partition, or did you upgrade Snow Leopard? If you upgraded, I'd not recommend erasing it, since your backups are apparently gone. It's doubtful Snow Leopard will recognize them.
It's not just backups on the drive either, there are other important things on there, so why won't they show?
Mixing Time Machine backups and other data is not a good idea. See #3 in Time Machine - Frequently Asked Questions. It sounds like the whole disk is corrupted.
I just really don't understand how this happened. Could it not be an issue with WD because they haven't issued firmware to support Lion yet?
If this is a simple external HD, connected by USB or FireWire, no, unless you installed some of WD's software on it. That shouldn't prevent it from being seen at all, but anything's possible.

Since upgrading to Lion, I can no longer view my previews in Aperture.

Since I updated to Lion, Aperture has been sluggish and annoying and keeps quitting on me...
However, the worst problem I have is that I cannot view the previews of most of my photos.
The files are all referenced and kept on an external hard drive.
I have checked to see if the preview files are in the Aperture library folder in my Pictures file (I looked in Show Contents...) and they all seem to be there.
When I open the projects in Aperture, the outline of the photos appear, but I can't see the images.
Does anyone have any idea why this would be and how to fix it?
Thanks!

As a start you should update your profile it still says you are using 10.6.1 and including the Aperture version would be a good thing also. So have you upgraded to 3.2.1 yet? If not you should.
As a start you should look at Aperture 3: Troubleshooting Basics and see i that helps.

Since upgrading to Lion I can no longer print to my network printer.

I get the error message "/usr/libexec/cups/filter/rastertospl" via http://localhost:631/printers/Samsung - it's a Samsung ML-1510 laser. Printing works fine from a Windows machine - the printer is attached to a network router, and I connect via WiFi from my MacBook Pro.
This worked perfectly before, now it doesn't, so what has changed in Lion?
Thanks very much in advance for any help and advice.

I've finally solved this problem. I used the printer driver for the Samsung ML-1510 from http://guigo.us/mac/splix/ and, another bout of logouts/logins later printing suddenly magically worked. I don't know if it was this driver alone or the restarts that did it, but I'm not going to break it again to find out.
Many thanks to everyone who offered advice, it's much appreciated.
Cheers.

I can't use dual monitors since upgrading to Lion

I use my HD TV as a second monitor for streaming movies etc. Since upgrading to Lion, I can only use one monitor at a time. Is anyone else having this problem?
Thanks

Yes, the blanking of secondary monitors is an issue.
In fact, it is the reason why I went back to Snow Leopard on my 3-screen iMac
I encourage you to contact Apple with feedback

Please give them feedback, and we might get this silly design decision changed.

Can't always connect to remote speakers since upgrading to lion

In one fell swoop I did a lot of upgrading, and ever since I haven't been able to reliably connect to any remote speakers using iTunes on my iMac. From iTunes (or the Remote app on the phone or iPad) I can see remote speakers, but I cannot connect. From iTunes, I just get the stripy progress bar, and it won't ever go away unless I cancel out. From the remote app, it just becomes unrepsonsive.
Context:
I have a iMac with OSX Lion, that I upgraded from Snow Leopard a few weeks ago. At about the same time, I updated iTunes to 10.5 from the last 10.4 release to be able to get the IOS 5 update on my and my wife's phones.
I have an Airport Extreme connected to our broadband, with 3 airport expresses in various places in our house connected on a wireless network to stereos for remote speakers. The iMac is connected to the Airport Extreme via ethernet. After upgrading the OS and iTunes, I got a notice that there was a firmware update for my two most recent airports (the Extreme and one of the expresses). They are running version 7.6 of the firmware, the other two airports are running 6.3.
There has been no change to the physical environment -- no sources of interference or anything like that. I can play music from the Music app on my phone to any of the remote speakers, there is no problem there.
About half the time, if I restart everything (wireless base stations, and then the computer) I can get the remote speakers to work. However, the next time the computer wakes up from sleep mode, I have the same connection problem described above.
Has anyone else experiences these sorts of troubles? I have seen some similar problems with older versions of all these applications and OS's -- and the solution there was to turn off ipV6 -- however, it doesn't look like that's an option now. Is this an identified bug, and is there a fix on the way? Is there anything I can do in the meantime?

Well, after some experimentation and internet-lookin', I deduced that is possibly a wi-fi problem. It seems that many people are having wi-fi problems since upgrading to Lion, and although I'm not connecting directly to my wireless network, it does form a pretty big chunk of my setup describe above.
So I tried the fix outlined on OSX Daily here: http://osxdaily.com/2011/11/06/lion-wi-fi-problems-solution-mac/
Essentially what it has you do is to create a new network location, name it, and then renew your DHCP lease. This seems to have worked for the time being.

I can no longer zoom in my messages in mail since upgrading to Lion

I have a Mac Book Pro with an intel i5 processor and 4GB of ram. Since I have upgraded to Lion I can no longer zoom in on my messages in Mail. I was able to do this in Snow Leopard when ever the text size was too small. Is there a way to make the text larger in the body of the messages I receive?

The zoom has been replaced by the pinch and zoom method just as you would do in zoming into or out of a document or photo. Hope this helps.

Upgraded to Lion, no longer can I read DVD-R

A friend gave me a DVD-R of some pictures we took on a vacation (created out of Windows.) With SL I had no issues importing these photos into Aperature. I have since upgraded to Lion and want want to re-copy the photos onto one of my hard drives. When I put the DVD-R into the same drive I used in SL (HP 1170d) it shows up as a burnable Untitiled DVD. Opening Disk Utility and selecting Info it says that the media is NOT blank, but it is Appendable. No "Volume" shows up. This sounds like a very seriou bug. Can anyone confirm? Thanks.

You'll have to contact Brookstone, the developer of the app in question to find out if they will update the app.

Since upgrading to Lion, i am unable to take screen shots. i get the message that i don't have permission to save files to the place where SSs are saved. how can i regain the ability to save screen shots? thanks

First of all, are you using the OS native screen capture?
If not, make sure the application you're using has been update for Lion. I was using Snapz Pro for years, but I need to update it for use with Lion. Meanwhile Grab and the keyboard shortcuts are working on my Lion load.
If you are using the native capture mode unsuccessfully, I would run the Disk Utility and repair permissions on the drive. For some reason, even in past OS Versions, routine maintenance of permissions makes life a lot easier.

Ever since upgrading to Lion my iMac opens to a different admin than the one last used and has to be switched. How can that be changed?

How can I change which user boots at start up? Ever since upgrading to Lion X my iMac no longer opens to the user on it prior to shut down. It now opens to a user who is virtually never on - which is actually me under a different name. This division of my Mac happened when I switched to my new Mac and didn't know I had to use the same name to transfer my data. My old data is listed as a separate user. Over time my old user name brings up a window full of ???? at the bottom. It looks like no apps ever upgrade there. It is driving me crazy to have to now switch back each time I start my computer. (I am using an iMac with 3.06 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo processor).

Can't find the custom mail stationery folder since upgrade to Lion

I have some custom mail stationery items I created in Leopard and have since upgraded to Lion when it was released. Today I went to edit one of my custom ones and the folder was no longer present in the old location at
User folder/Library/Application Support/Mail/Stationery/Apple/Contents/Resources/Custom
I have searched everywhere looking for the 'custom' folder but can't find it.
Problem is that mail still is showing them as if they still exist (and can use them) but I can't find where they are. I decided to try creating a new template to see where it stored it but I can't find it anywhere and definitely not in the usual place.
Can someone please point me in the right direction .. I'm pulling my hair out!!!!

Binaut's answer is great. However, how I was able to successfully move and place my custom stationery packages so they would show up in the "CUSTOM" category in a new mail using stationery took a different path. I had to place it in the SYSTEM Library FIRST. Of course I made the changes to the Table of Contents.plist and all that. AFTER I placed the package in the System/Library/Application Support etc. (the traditional place for templates) Mavericks Magically created the CUSTOM folder automatically and everything worked.
If I'm off on this, please let me know.
Below is a link to a new discussion I've started.
Hope this works for you! There's also a link to a good tutorial on creating your custom stationery in the first place.
Best to you!
Daniel
