Spotlight Search is not working with Lion

I was on 10.6.5 and installed Lion.
Spotlight searching is not working at all now. I have tried everything in the Spotlight preferences Confidentiality, selecting my hard disk and exclusding it quitting putting it back.
I waited 3 days to be sure it was not because indexing is not finished.
I don't know what I can try now..
I have Time Machine I tried Mac OSX Combo 10,7.3.

Try this, lauch Terminal and at the prompt copy & paste
sudo mdutil -i off /
Press return.
You'll be prompted for you password, it will be invisible
Then copy & paste this command
sudo rm -rf /.Spotlight-V100
Press return and finally
sudo mdutil -i on /
Press return

Adobe Photoshop CS5 is not working with Lion.

Adobe Photoshop CS5 is not working with Lion. It is totally non responsive to a point where i cannot work. all other CS5 programs seem to be running well so far. any advice? if no, then how do i revert back to Snow leopard?

I had real problems with all Adobe apps - it said I needed to install a version of Jave Runtime, but kept saying that I wasn't connected to the internet to complete the action. This was not the case - I was connected to the internet.
I followed this link : http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1421 to install a version of Java and all Adobe apps fire up now. Haven't done much testing within the apps, but at least I'm further ahead than I was.
So thanks to the message boards for helping me out.

Why does Corel Suite 10 does not work with Lion OS?

Why does Corel Suite 10 does not work with Lion OS?

Either it's incompatible or it's a PPC-only application. PPC applications are no longer supported in Lion because there is no longer a Rosetta emulator. Contact Corel for support.

How can I go back to snow leopard my epson stylus Photo TX810FW does not work with Lion

My Epson Stylus Photo TX810FW printer does not work with Lion how do I go back to Snow Leopard?

Did you try removing the printer from the queue and then reinstalling it?
I attempted to print this morning for the first time after upgrading to Lion and discovered that while everything appeared normal on my Epson printer, it would never print.
I opened System Preference > Print & Scan and deleted the printer.
I then added the printer back and it now working again. Worth a shoot first I should think.
Much easier the a downgrade.

Tascam US-428 not working with Lion

Tascam US-428 not working with Lion - Does anybody know why and what I can do to fix it?

The Tascam US-428 is a great unit, but like all businesses, Tascam desires to keep you purchasing their equipment and not stay with your old legacy items. If they would consider servicing legacy units, possibly most may stay with Tascam. But this keeps the machine moving when you "force" customers to upgrade their products when new technology shifts..
The "only" reason US-428 users need to upgrade and put aside the unit is if they need 64 bit functionality. I did not have crashing when I loaded Logic in 64 bit mode due to the ability to access my 8 gigs of memory...and is the "only" reason why I need to go 64 bit. 32 bit functionality is limited to 4 gigs of memory. Lion by default is 64 bit, so that is a plus.
But...if Tascam would continue to service some of the legacy units like the Tascam US 428, then some of us would not go to their competitors and may stay brand loyal. I think Alesis has something simular and along the same portability as the Tascam US 428, so some might have to jump ship with Tascam.
If enough people called up Tascam asking about the US 428 or surfs their website and looks for the US 428 (I am sure they keep track of where people are going on their site), they might reconsider....
I have been a Tascam user for may years, but "if" they would put out a driver for the US 428 for Lion, I may stay with them...but they leave us with little choice but to look for something else...they do not have something comparable to the unit right now.

Keynot does not work with Lion OSX 10.7.2

First there was the problem with the hidden Library/application Support/iWeb/domaines, which is an important problem for me as I use my web site to show people what kind of work that I do (videos with still photography); now there's the problem with Keynote, which does not even open with Lion OSX 10.7.2. Up until now, I was using Keynote to do my video projections in small town halls. I use Protools for the sound and Final Cut (that's another problem!) for the photos and then do a Quick Time session which I put in Keynote. It was working just fine - until Lion came along.
It seems to be well known that Apple is going to discontinue iWeb (let's not talk about what they did to Final Cut) - and now it looks like they've got plans for Keynote as well. It looks like the solution is either to use PowerPoint rather than Keynote, or to downgrade back to Snow Leopard. I'm tempted to change to PowerPoint just to keep in the race, but where is Apple taking us? I'm not sure that what Apple want's us to do is really good for us! But is it realistic to hang on to Snow Leopard? Are the PCs better or are they doing the same thing? It almost seems as if there were commercial agreements between those who run everything...but that's another story - or is it?
Théo

Yes, it should work with Lion. It does for lots of folks.
Are you getting an error message of some sort? If so, see #C2 in Time Machine - Troubleshooting.
If that doesn't help, try re-selecting it, via Time Machine preferences.
Or try a "full reset" of Time Machine, per #A4 in the Troubleshooting article.
Or reset the TC itself, per http://support.apple.com/kb/ht3728
