Since upgrading to OSX Lion, am having problems with my mouse
If rhe computer is dormant for a day or so, when I go to use the mouse, it leaves grey boxes wherever it tracks. Have to turn off the computer in order for the mouse to work (have chaanged the batteries in the mouse a couple of times).
Such collapsing menus are controlled via JavaScript ([http://kb.mozillazine.org/JavaScript_is_not_Java JavaScript is not Java])
You do not seem to have installed many extensions and in your case it is possible the other (security) software is blocking JavaScript.<br />
Boot the computer in Windows Safe Mode with network support (press F8 on the boot screen) as a test to see if that helps.
You can also check the connection settings.

Since upgrading to osx lion I can't log in to certain webpages.
Since upgrading to osx lion some online functions seem to have stopped working.
When I'm trying to log on to my university database I get the message that I cant log in due to "You can't log in because your browser settings doesn't support frames, tables, cookies, javascript". I know that my settings at least supports java and allows cookies. Keep in mind that this wasn't a problem before changing to lion, and best to my knowledge my settings seems to be the same as before.
Theres also an other website that doesn't allow me to log in, it just keeps going back to the log in window. This didn't happen before.
Also, perhaps unrelated. Some sites seems to be redirecting me to their mobile versions? Even though I'm using regular Wi-Fi and not as I'm sometimes doing, use my iphone bluetooth for internet access.
This isn't isolated to safari, using firefox or chrome doesn't help either.
Appreciate any help I can get.I'm not receiving the error you mentioned. I don't know what the error in red says.
I entered a bogus ID/password and got the image below. I'm running Safari 5.1.1 from Lion 10.7.2. -

Ever since upgrading to iOS5, I've had problems with my photo albums. Anybody else having problems?
I have a Verizon iPhone 4 and updated to iOS 5 on the release date. Ever since, I've had all kinds of problems with photos. In my albums, whether it be Camera Roll or Photo Stream (which I have since disabled), either the thumbnails are repeated when they shouldn't be, or they appear as a gray box. If I do happen to see a photo, it's blurry. In either case, if I choose "Edit" the correct picture appears and is clear. If I save or cancel, it either goes back to the wrong photo or the gray box. I do not sync my photos. I've searched all over the net and can't seem to find anything about this being a known issue. Has anybody else had this happen and if so, what did you do to fix it?
Reset all settings !

That helped me with the same issue.
Good luck !! -
DW CS5.5 in OSX Lion - anyone seeing problems with Spaces?
DW seems to have problems with Spaces in OSX Lion.Switching into DW from other spaces is not 'clean'. When DW comes up, sometimes the Code/Design is blank white, and windows within the workspace don't show their headers. Clicking on Code/Design redraws that window, but the only thing that seems to recover the window headings is switching to and then back from another app in the same Space.
Seems like screen redrawing triggered by switching apps within the same Space is a little different than that triggered by switching apps across Spaces.
Anyone else seeing this?I did report it as a bug, using the link kindly provided by you and Shocker.
The two Macs I've tried this on now are a Mac Pro and an iMac, so there's no Automatic Graphics Switching option to enable/disable.
I was only able to check this out on the iMac late last night.
Hardware synopsis:
Mac Pro Early 2009
Processor 2 x 2.93 GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon
Memory 16 GB 1066 MHz DDR3 ECC
Graphics NVIDIA GeForce GT 120 512 MB
Software Mac OS X Lion 10.7 (11A511)
The iMac isn't available to me at the moment, I'll have to fill in missing details later (can't remember the exact graphics card info):
DW is CS5, not CS5.5, was also installed well ahead of the Lion upgrade
Computer is iMac instead of Mac Pro, about 1.5 years old
Quad-Core i7
4GB memory
Mac OS X Lion 10.7
I used the same procedure upgrading to Lion on the iMac...
Ran Cocktail 'Pilot' to clean up the system prior to install (runs Daily, Weekly, Monthly maintenance scripts, clears System, User, and Internet caches, repairs disk permissions on "Macintosh HD", clears log files)
OS10.7 was purchased through the Mac App Store and installed.
JRE installed.
DW on the iMac exhibited the same problem as on the Mac Pro.
To reproduce:
Start DW, open a file for editing
Start any other app in the same Space
Open a new Space, open any other app there.
Test switching between DW and other apps in the same Space compared with switching between DW and other apps in different Spaces.
Consistently, when I switch between DW and other apps in the same Space, DW's windows/panels redraw properly,
and when I switch between DW and other apps in different Spaces, DW's windows/panels don't redraw properly. -
Since selecting the prompt to upgrade my iphone4s, I have experienced significant problems. The "old" Siri disappeared and the new one is slow, ineffective and unavailable much too frequently. The faded colors on my iphone screen are also troublesome. I wish that I could revert back to the default settings
on my iphone4s. Has anyone else experienced the above problems?Apple does not support downgrading to a previous iOS.
You might first try a reboot:
press and hold the home and power buttons until the Apple icon is displayed, then let go.
If it doesn't help, try

Upgrade to OSX Lion – iMac late 2009 – with Parallels & BOOTCAMP Windows XP SP3 (32 bit)
I downloaded Lion just after release and tried to install only to receive the error message “cannot install – no recovery” or words to that effect. I was also not given the option to proceed without creating the recoveryand instead the system was restarted in Snow Leopard.
After potentially giving up and accepting that I had wasted A$31, I tried again 2 months later.
Before I did, I read many forums indicating that Lion could not be BOOTCAMPED with Windows XP. I also found forums saying it could, but only from an older Mac such as mine shipped with Snow Leopard. If you have a newly shipped Mac with Lion pre-installed it appears you must use Windows 7.
First step was to upgrade my Parallels to the new Version 7 from 5. I suggest you do this and ensure that all upgrades are also performed on the Windows side.
Then, the most useful forum I found was the following: http://www.mac-forums.com/forums/os-x-operating-system/245192-installing-lion-no -recovery-error.html
To create the partition,use “disc utilities” and articles on the Apple site if you are unsure how to do it.
You now have 3 partitions: Mac HD, new partition, Original BOOTCAMP.
Now proceed to install Lion, which worked perfectly.
After installation I found that the new partition was also labelled BOOTCAMP. The BOOTCAMP I wanted to use was the 3rdpartition, the original BOOTCAMP.
After no success launching my BOOTCAMP but knowing it was still there, I decided to delete the 2ndpartition and take this out of the equation (make sure you resize your MAC HD partition to take up the empty space this leaves). I’m not an IT expert so it’s possible I don’t have recovery anymore but I did copy Lion to a USB and I have Time Machine doing regular backups.
I also referred to Parallels - http://kb.parallels.com/en/111629. I removed Hard Disk 1 and replaced with HardDisk 1 that seems to direct it to the newly installed Lion. I could not link it with BOOTCAMP as stated in the article.
Once all this was done, it still wouldn’t boot my Windows and I was ready to give up. I left it for a couple of hours to decide whether to reinstall Snow Leopard, then tried one more time with SUCCESS! I think what was happening is that Lion was still busy indexing and that everything took time to catch up. This is my only explanation.
So now everything isworking exactly as before with no issues, very happy I persevered!If you have not already entered in your wireless providers info, you will need to do that. Just like you did when you entered your network info on the mac side.

Having problem with right mouse click
When connected to a database and try to create a table using the right mouse click, only options available are a (grayed out) clear filter and help. Those options are the same when using the right mouse click on other objects. This is a clean install with the newest version available on windows XP service pack 1.
No luck in reproducing this on SQL Developer v1.0.0.14.67, Win XP SP 2, DB 9.2.0.5.
If my connected user has privs to create tables, I get Create Table, Apply Filter, Refresh, Clear Filter (disabled unless I have a filter) and Help.
If my connected user doesn't have privs to create tables, I get Create Table (disabled), Apply Filter, Refresh, Clear Filter (disabled unless I have a filter) and Help.
Even looking at the tables node under a user in the Other Users area I get Apply Filter, Refresh, Clear Filter (disabled unless I have a filter) and Help. -
I'm having problems with a wireless Logitech mouse
Since upgrading to ML i'm having problems with a wireless Logitech mouse that worked well prior to the update. I'm using the current Logitech Control Center software. No other mouse software is on my Mac Mini. If I use a Guest Aacount the problems ( wheel and back button ) are not present. Any suggestions?
You might try the Logitech support site. There are communities on there:
http://www.logitech.com/en-us/support/keyboard-mice-combos
Here is a link to drivers:
Logitech Drivers
You might check your home folder/Library to see if you can find a Logitec .plist.
You need to look in your user Library/Preferences for the .plist. Hold down the option key while using the Finder "Go To Folder" command. Enter ~/Library. Delete the .plist(s) for the mouse.
If you prefer to make your user library permanently visible, use the Terminal command found below.
http://osxdaily.com/2011/07/04/show-library-directory-in-mac-os-x-lion/
You might want to bookmark the command. I had to use it again after I installed 10.8.2. I have also been informed that if you drag the user library to Finder it will remain visible. -
Is anyone having problems with apple mail since upgrading to Yosemite?
MacBook Pro 15", mid 2012 running Yosemite 10.10.1 - ever since upgrading to Yosemite, I have a problem with Apple Mail which is that the from address persists on my screen after I close the email. I have to quit mail and sometimes even restart to get rid of it. Has anyone else experienced this? Any ideas?
No, I mean it lingers when I close the email. What I've discovered since I posted earlier is that if I reopen the email and hover over the address in the actual email the one that is persisting goes away. Thank goodness, because it is very annoying. I am wondering if it is somehow intentional in the SW. Thank you for asking.

Cannot upgrade to OSx Lion no Recovery
I purchased and tried to install the OSx Lion upgrade. My mac is running Mac OSx 10.6.8 and I have bootcamp with Windows 7
It seems that there is some sort of problem in upgrading the OS when bootcamp is installed, but I am not sure of which would be the solution. The error says :
Mac OS X can't be installed on the disk Macintosh HD, because a recovery system can't be created. Visit www.apple.com/support/no-recovery to learn more.
From an internet search I think that a possible solution would be to have an external hard drive and install OSx lion on it. However, the hard drive must be formatted and have at least 13 G free, so that I will have to purchase a new hard drive only for this task :-( . Before doing so, I'd ask to the community if anyone had experience with this issue and what is the solution. Any help will be greatly appreciate ^_^ Thanks!!!
As a side note I'd like to express my deep disappointment in my Mac, fueled by the frustration of being unable to do a simple task, such as upgrading the OS. This is really the last drop. I can honestly say that buying my macbook pro was a very big mistake :-(
Since I bought it, almost one year ago, I had only problems. The OS is slow and crashes very often. I lost countless hour of work due to crashes, and disk failures. Most of the software is either not compatible, or full of bugs, while I had to pay lots of money for any kind of upgrade/assistance. The upgrade to Osx lion is my latest desperate attempt to stabilize the OS. I can't honestly say that there is a single task which this mac can accomplish, beside browsing e-mails.Thanks a lot for the reply. I will be happy to give more infos about my problem
For the triple boot: I am installing rEFIt. I dod not think that the problems with OSx Lion are related to this, as I took the decision to install Linux after failing to update the OSx
I would be glad if we can bring the topic back to ways to upgrade to OSx Lion while having bootcamp. Did anyone ever succeded in doing so? ^_^
About the unstable OS:
I have about 3-4 fatal crashes per week. Sometimes the mac is unresponsive and I have to restart it manually, sometimes the screen goes black and the computer restarts itself.
From what I have noticed I'd say this happens either while I am using some application, or just by using an external hard driver.
About the application: I'd say I can divide the crashes based on percentage of occurrance as follows:
60% with Microsoft Power Point (I can't say if it's because of the program or just because I use it at least 70% of the time) 30% Programming( C++, Fortran or Matlab) 10% Latex (using TeX Shop). The crash is immediate and I am not saving or doing anything in particular. Just typing text.
About the external hard drivers: I had some serious crashes due just by plugging in removable hard drivers, or reading/writing on them. This accounts for about 50% of overall crashes. It is not the same hard drive: I had crashes with multiple sources and I think it's some serious issue with the OS. I take extra care in safely removing and ejecting before unplugging from any source. Probably an important comment: most of the flash drivers I have used are also used with Linux systems. I never had a problem in Linux or Windows.
Thanks!!!!! -
Has there been a resolution to the wake up issue created by upgrading to OSX Lion?
Since upgrading to OSX Lion my iMac will not wakeup. Has there been any resolution to this problem?
This is a problem with your computer and system, not with Lion. I suggest you do the following:
Install or Reinstall Lion from Scratch
If possible backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive.
Boot to the Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Erase the hard drive:
Select Disk Utility from the main menu and click on the Continue button.
After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the drive in DU's status area. If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing. SMART info will not be reported on external drives. Otherwise, click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Erase button and wait until the process has completed.
Quit DU and return to the main menu.
Reinstall Lion: Select Reinstall Lion and click on the Install button.
Note: You can also re-download the Lion installer by opening the App Store application. Hold down the OPTION key and click on the Purchases icon in the toolbar. You should now see an active Install button to the right of your Lion purchase entry. There are situations in which this will not work. For example, if you are already booted into the Lion you originally purchased with your Apple ID or if an instance of the Lion installer is located anywhere on your computer.
Because the Lion volume will be erased I recommend you first backup your files so they can be restored after reinstalling Lion. -
HT1338 outgoing e-mail server not working since upgrade to mountain lion
unable to send mail on one of my e-mail accounts since upgrading to mountain lion
I had this problem as well after upgrading to 10.8.
For all e-mail accounts SMTP servers seemed to be unavailable to Mail, regardless of setting TSL/SSL on or off. It turned out, even Thunderbird was unable to send any mail.
After trying every hint on this forum twice – and to no avail; I found the culprit to my problem. Upgrading my iMac to Mountain Lion had changed the name, that my machine was using in my home network. The new machine name had "(2)" added to the old name. The brackets seem to have disturbed the SMTP servers I use. After changing the name back to anything w/o special characters I was able to send mail again.
Very strange, since no error message lead to this direction, and only the SMTP was affected, everything else on the internet worked like a charm.
So if you run into this problem, and no other solution works for you, make sure your LAN-name is not including any special characters, just letters, numbers and "-".
Mind you: the name I am relating to is not necessarily the one you give your Mac in System Preferences > Sharing. It is the name your home router derives from that name. I am using a Fritzbox as a router and DSL modem; and had to access its web interface to check the actual name that my iMac was using to communicate to the web. That's also where I had to change the name back again.
Don't know why ML caused the name to change in the first place, maybe the whole thing was unrelated and purely incidental to upgrading to 10.8. Using another router your mileage may also vary. You may still give it a try. -
Problems with Mail (on O2) since upgrade to Mountain Lion
After having spent a frustrating few days trying to get this sorted, I thought I should make folk aware of the above problem. Since upgrading to Mountain Lion I have not been able to send email using smtp.o2.co.uk. The O2 call centre notes that a number of folk have been having this problem.
Some have suggested setting Custom Port to 25 but this hasn't worked for me.
Apparently O2 are going to get back to me within 5 days with an answer. I'm not holding my breath but am pleased to say I can still use my iPhone to send email.
Can't help but wonder if this has anything to do with the fact that I signed up for an iCloud (***@me.com) account at the same time.
Any thoughts?I got a fix. it works for me. while i'm on ML. safari and mail doesn't work properly. mail can't send emails with attachment and safari unble to open certain webpages.
i've log into my Internet modem, enable router mode from bridge mode. it works fine now. no promlem with sending emails or surfing the web. hope it'll helpful for u guys.
