Startup Item OSX LION
I try to manage my startup item within the users and groups item in pref system. The thing is the mac doesn't memorize my selection on startup item (delete item, od add item diseaper when I start up the mac).
Thank's for your help.

This seldom really works. Reinstall ID, then update to 7.5.2 and try again.

InDesign CS5 crashes on startup - Mac OSX Lion
Hi Everyone,
I've reinstalled InDesign, Photoshop and Illustrator CS5 after upgrading to Mac OSX Lion,
Photoshop and Illustrator work fine but InDesign crashes on startup.
I've followed a few threads on here, one suggested creating a new adimistrator-level user on my machine - and that works, but I can't figure out what to fix in my regular user to make InDesign work in here again...
This is the error report I'm getting:
http://pastebin.com/a2LrMFdw
Help, anyone?
Thanks a lot!I'm having a similar problem but I haven't been able to get it to work. I created a new administer level user but InDesign still won't open under that user. I've tried the other suggestions as well with no success. Please help!!!! It really doesn't help that I'm in South East Asia traveling with no fast internet to be found. :\
Here is my error log.

My imac slow to startup running osx lion
I've recently upgraded to OSX Lion and now it takes at least 4 minutes for my system to load. It recognises the trackpad and keyboard but it won't allow me to scroll, move or select anything on the screen even though both Bluetooth devices are discoverable and working.
When it does load it works perfectly.
I've tried to reinstall lion (that didn't work - error message) and the usual help instructions. but when i try and reboot and use the Command R it does nothing!
I can't even revert to the previous OSX
please help!!Log details: sorry its long...couldn't see many duplicate messages...hope you can help

Indesign 5.5 startup crash OSX Lion
I am running a week old 2.4 GHz Macbook Pro (4gb) running Lion 10.7.2, transferred CS5.5 over to the new computer using Migration assistant from a late 2007 macbook. Indesign worked fine on old computer. On the new computer, all Adobe CS5.5 programs are working except Indesign.
I've looked through many of the forums trying to figure out a way to fix my problem. I couldn't find the SING folder, so I don't think it's that.
I tried to run the activity monitor, but I coudn't even get Indesign to open so I couldn't get a sample.
Here is my crash report from what I sent to Adobe.
Any help is great, Thanks!Denverubow13 wrote:

How to disable automatic opening of previously viewed items in Preview or TextEdit in Max OSX Lion?
How to disable automatic opening of previously viewed items in Preview or TextEdit in Max OSX Lion? It was no such issue on Snow Leopard OS.
Please helpThis is a new behavior introduced in Lion. You can disable it completely via System Preferences, General: uncheck the "Restore windows..." box toward the bottom.
You can disable this behavior on a case by case basis by either closing all windows before quitting, or holding the option key while quitting, or holding the shift key while launching from dock.

How do I keep Firefox automatically starts when I boot up (OSX 10.6 .8 -- MacBook Pro Intel). It is not in the Startup Items in System Preferences, and automatic startup is not checked in Firefox Options.
Hi fullrun-
Once Firefox is open, you should be able to open the Right click context menu on the icon. From there you select 'Options' and then de-select 'Open at Login'. Hope that helps. -
My Mac Hard disk recently broke and was replaced. Now, although my computer is authorised in itunes store, it won't let me re-download purchased items (esp OSX Lion). How can I make computer re-download previous purchases?

the NFSv4 domain name is not necessarily related to the host name or the host's fully-qualified domain name (FQDN). It can be the same like the domain name, but it does not have to.
To find the corrent NFSv4 domain name, you have to look it up in the NFSv4 server's configuration files.

I bought a 13"macbook pro running OSX lion 10.7.3 with 2.4 ghz i5 & intel hd 3000 in the ending 0f 2011.I am completely new to Mac.
1)Last time when i tried to start my laptop. it freezed in the start up screen with speening wheel over half an hour.so i restarted it pressing Shift to open disk utility.after repairing & verifying disk,it started normally.But it started to show numerous notifications like-
Insecure Startup Item disabled.
“/Library/StartupItems/BRESINKx86Monitoring” has
not been started because it does not have the proper
security settings.
2)i had this problem more than one time when installing new applications. It says-
System extension cannot be used
The system extension "/System/Library/Extensions/
CDSDAudioCaptureSupport.kext"was installed
improperly and cannot be used.Please try
reinstalling it, or contact the product's vendor for an
update.
OK
This time after the first notification i started Onyx & excuted for Automotion. It started normally it freezed with progress bar written with 'Deleting misc it
ems...' for more than two hour. somthing must be wrong so i force quitted it.Then the second message showed up & after entering 'ok' each time the last massage continued to come up with other kext files--
“/System/Library/Extensions/KLog.kext”

3)Also another problem remains, although i tried multiple times to take "MacBookPro2011EFIUp2.7" through software update; it takes the update,installs it,but after automatic restart no grey screen appears showing progress bar etc. etc. as told in the update. the funny thing is every next time i open it shows that update again.Which means it's not installed at all. i checked whether it's an appropriate update for mine model,but its alright. Can anybody please help me?
For your convenience-my 500 GB hard drive is almost full(~40 GB remaining) & i have only one partition. Would it be better if i create a different partition on it with OSX ;keep it 50% free all time & keep all other things in the other partition?

I suspect this is the cause of your problem, your downloads didn't complete correctly.
Your going to have to take the machine to a very fast and reliable Internet connection +5Mb p/s download speeds all to yourself and perform a #18 Reinstall Just OS X
Step by Step to fix your Mac
Them from there you check on the other fixes, wait for updates for your third party software to work etc. -
My Mac (10.7.5) Keeps forgetting startup items.
There doesn't seem to be a OSX Lion categorie, so...
I need a lot of apps to open when I start my computer. I know how to do this but sometimes it resets and there are no items in the startup items.
Also accompanied with this is my User account picture is reset at the same time.
I don't care for my account picture but the Startup items is too tedious and annoying to fix every time this happens.
It also happens randomly. It happened this morning, but might happen again tomorrow, or in a month.
Any ideas for the issue/fixes?Open a Finder window. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
Type or copy paste the following:
~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.loginitems.plist
Click Go then move the com.apple.loginitems.plist file to the Trash.
Restart your Mac. -
I can't open almost any app on my iMac (OSX Lion 10.7.4). Every time I attempt to do so, the affected app "unexpedtely quits", showing a window (sort of expanded dialog box) with the log history, wich form a complete report wich is said to be sent to Apple. Despite that this window has a "restart" button, I haven't been able to go any further from this point, as it repeats the process again and again, impeding me to use the affected app.
This has get to a critical point, as it is afecting apps like iTunes (especifically when I turn to the iTunes Store from within te app), MacApp Store, Software Updates (I can't update anything, given this problem) and many other apps, including Aperture 3, Fusion 4, integrated Dictionary and Wikipedia, as I've been able to verify.
As far as I'm concerned, it hasn't affected apps like Office, Vectorworks, Pixelmator, iDraw, Quick Note...
Can anybody help me on this matter?
Thanks a lot, in advance...
MarcusUse Lion Recovery to repair the startup disk if necessary, or reinstall the Mac OS X.

My new iMac has recently had OSX Lion installed on it and now when I start the machine it looks like its updating something every time, and the wireless doesn't work. So I restart and everything is OK - until I have to start up again the next time - then I have to repeat this again! Any help appreciated.
I've been having the same issue, but have just discovered something on my own that hasn't been pointed out in any of the forums I've visited. In what I thought would be a vain attempt to help myself, I went to System Preferences, Users & Groups, and then clicked on Login Items. I discovered that one of the Items that was listed to open automatically upon login was iTunes Helper and that there was an exclamation point beside it indicating that it was incompatible. I simply deleted that item and now I don't have the situation you described and my wireless is connected. Hope this helps!

High memory usage OSX Lion on iMac
Hi,
Recently upgraded 2006 iMac 6.1 to OSX 10.7.2 (4GB). Noticed performance dropped significantly when 2 or more users are logged in especially when switching users. Observed memory usage for OSX Lion is far higher than Snow Leopard! By startup 2GB real memory already allocated and often down to last 500MB. Performance appear to slow down due to swapping as swap i/o appears to increase.
On snow leopard I had 6 users logged in and 4GB was plenty. Lion appears to be a MS product!!!!
Anyone else experienced high memory usage on Lion and any ideas how to reduce memory consumption?
Unfortunately at the maximum memory capacity for my my iMac so need to find ways to reduce memory usage. There must be a kernel compiler option that could reduce memory.....
Also considering SSD drive to speed up swap i/o read/writes.
Otherwise will have to go back to leopard :-(
Thanks for any help in advance.
-Dav
PS> OSX Lion is alot more stable than previous OSX releases with this iMac model. Especially iMacs suffering the notorious NVDIDIA GPU heat problems...You mac can handle up to 3gb of ram, but slightly more will be available with 4gb installed. For Lion to run smooth, a true 4gb of ram is preferred, which may explain the sluggishness of your mac.

How can I play music on my macbook pro (OSX Lion) through a Pioneer receiver? I've connected them with a mini display port to HDMI cable with audio support bought at the Apple Store, but there's no sound coming through. There are 4 HDMI-in ports on the receiver - BD, DVD, DVR/BDR and audio. In my system preferences for sound, the receiver doesn't show up as an output option. Can anyone please advise.
