Since upgrading to Lion the screen auto brightness adjusting icon comes on allmost all the time even though i've switched it of in preferences?? it's so annoying..any ideas??

I don't know exactly what the issue is, but I think I do. Are you talking about what happens when you start up your MBP, full brightness, with power cable in - and when you're using battery only, the brightness dims? If so, this is a feature designed to make sure your monitor is bright enough while using batteries - but not so bright as to cause an undue drain on power.
I don't know about a cure to this issue, if indeed this is what you're talking about.

  • I'm using a WD NAS as my time machine backup drive and since upgrading to Lion the time machine won't operate with the drive. How am I to retrieve my photos and documents from it?

    I realise it is the responsibility of WD to maintain the network storage interface for time machine. What is a solution for retrieving files from time machine?
    When trying to re-add the drive a message said the version of the system is not supported.

    I am using an ipad2 with the latest operating system upgrade. My problems started with the upgrade to v6. Before that, portrait and landscape pics were uploaded from camera with no problems.

    Hi,
    I'm from germany so no 'best buy' but I think I will lock around sleeve/bag for a different product with same measures. Any tip?
    The clear plastic case is not what I want. I would like to use the player without such protections. I just want a sleeve to protect the player while its in my jacket/pants.
    Btw, i have bought this version: Creative Zen (maybe european version?). I also doesn't seem to have your mentioned sleeve. I also couldn't find it on the website.
    Anyway, thank you,
    Chris

  • My Mac won't stop speaking the time even though I have turned it off. What can I do?

    I tried to turn off "Announce the time" in "Date & Time" preference pane in "System Preferences" on my Mac running 10.9.4. It is unchecked. Yet it is still speaking the time. What can I do to get it to stop? I have tried unchecking/checking closing System Preferences many times to no avail; it just keeps announcing the time. Any ideas?

    Have you tried a restart?

  • Firefox won't launch 90% of the time even though Internet Explorer does all the time

    Why doesn' Firefox launch? It's my default browser. Internet Explorer always launches when asked.

    One of your add-ons might be the culprit. Try running Firefox in [[Safe Mode]]. If that solves the problem, see [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] and possibly [[Troubleshooting plugins]]

  • IPad WifI drops all the time even though I have pe...

    My iPad 4 is constantly losing connection but as soon as I go into settings and re connect it connects straight away, It only happens upstairs but it is very annoying as I watch alot of youtube videos and it is constantly dropping and I have to re connect. The wireless speed in my bedroom is always between 25-30mbps. Help please.

    If it only happens upstairs then it would suggest that you have a weak wireless signal or there is some thing causing interference such as another wireless network.
    You could try selecting another wireless channel on the Homehub to see if that helps.
    There are apps on the apple store that you can download to show the wireless networks and channels or if you have a windows laptop you can download and run inSSider which will show you the wireless networks in your area and what channel they are on. Select the least congested and strongest channel and change your Homehub to it.

    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.

  • Safari works great on my iMac, but not so well on my Macbook Pro since upgrading to Lion.  I get a message that I am not connected to the internet when I try to open a webpage even though the wireless icon at the top of my screen shows I am connected.

    Since upgrading to Lion I am having problems with Safari on my Macbook Pro.  I am using wifi to access the internet and the internet works in all other application except for Safari.  When I try to access a webpage most times I get a error message saying I am not connected to the internet.  If I click on diagnose the problem, I get connect again to the internet through the diagnostic process and the webpage generally works.  This is not a problem when wired to the internet.

    Check your network settings, in particular the advanced setting "DNS Server". If it is by chance 127.0.0.1, make sure to change is and use a know DNS Server (from Google for example, or your own Router local address).

  • Unable to resize the amp designer or pedal board window since upgrading to lion - any ideas?

    I have no idea why but the pedal board and amp designer plugin windows no longer fit on my screen since upgrading to lion.
    It's driving me crazy has anyone any ideas how I can fix this?
    Thank you

    Sorry to not get back to you sooner. With other devices not having issues connecting to the Home Hub except the AirPort Express definately indicates the Express being the culprit. The only thing I can suggest trying before paying a visit to your local Apple Store, would be to perform a "factory default" reset on it to see if it can connect and stay connected.

  • Ever since upgrading to Lion I keep getting the error message "disk was not ejected properly."

    Ever since upgrading to Lion on my iMac G5 Intel Core 2 Duo, I keep getting the error message "disk was not ejected properly."  I have repaired permissions and reformatted my external LaCie 2TB USB hard disk, but the error continues.  I use this disk for my Time Machine backups.  This always seems to happen when the computer wakes from sleep, but not consistently.  The computer was asleep overnight and backed up as soon as it awakend this morning.  Two hours later I get the improper ejection message.  I have used the same external disk with Snow Leopard (all versions), but never had this error message or problem.  This disk has been in use without any problems since February, 2011. Upgrading to Lion is when this problem began. This is the below message (but from online image from Snow Leopard, but Lion message is essentially the same).

    I had a similar issue. Mine was with a Seagate GoFlex drive. The solution was to install GoFlex for Mac 1.1.2 which included a 64-bit driver to disable the drives built in sleep timer:

    What's the format of your video? That will give you a hint as to what plugin is failing (or missing).
    If you don't know, what's the URL of your site - it shouldn't take long for someone to work out the specifics.

  • Since upgrading to Lion OS, the wifi connectivity keeps blocking up intermittently and we need to manually keep switching on and off the wifi utility to get the connection back. even locking the preferred wifi network in system preferences does not help.

    Since upgrading to Lion OS 10.7.1, the wifi connectivity keeps blocking up intermittently and we need to manually keep switching on and off the wifi utility to get the connection back. even locking the preferred wifi network in system preferences does not help. This never used to happen with Snow Leopard

    This is a big thank you to Rys Sinnefeldt who posted this fix.
    Rys has made this fix very easy to do and takes literally 2 mins. It involves replacing the Atheros Lion driver 4.0 and replacing it with the snow leopard driver. Don't worry, Rys has made this so simple to do even I could do it and so far I have had no more wifi drops.
