Steam stopped working ever since i installed Lion

Anyway of fixing this?
All my games go through Steam and have not been able to play any for months now.

Still working just fine here. Try reinstalling Steam. I did have a problem with it at some point (not linked to the upgrade to Lion), and just threw Steam in the trash and downloaded a new copy. That fixed it for me.

Ever since I installed Lion my internet connection comes and goes, has anyone else had the same experience. have rung Apple Care and they have reset my connection but it is still happening

ever since I installed Lion my internet connection comes and goes....have reported this to Apple Care who have helped me reset my connection but it is still happening...cant believe it is a fault of the ISP as my Iphone does not have this problem, nor does my PC laptop...is this a fault in the new system?

Thanks so much but none of that helped. It was driving me crazy because it would back up another external drive. I just changed the name of the drive from iPhoto/iTunes Library to Media Libraries and IT WORKED!! I guess for some reason it didn't like the drive being called iPhoto or iTunes ???? I don't understand but I have tried so many solutions and exchanging things out but the name change did it????!!!
Thank you for your help and replying to this. Guess I made my own issue!

Ever since I installed Lion, I have not been able to print wirelessly

Ever since I installed Lion, I have not been able to print to my Brother MFC-7840W. It shows in System Preferences, and says "Ready", but when I try to print I get a "cannot connect to device" message. Also in the printer utility it says bonjour malfunction. I have installed the most current drivers as well. Also, all other computers (PC's) on the wireless network are not having any problems printing! Help! I hate it when the household PC lovers mock me!

The Bonjour Multifunction entry under Kind simply indicates that both the printer and scanner queues will be created for the single queue, the same that happens when the device is connected to the Mac via USB. I see the same thing with some Canon AIO's and it doesn't stop the Mac from printing.
With you mentioning that a direct connection also fails, then it suggests that there is an issue with the driver or the printing system. A reset of the printing system is a good starting point. This will require you to create the queue again, but not install the printer drivers. And try it first with the USB connected printer before trying it on the network.
If the direct connection still fails after the reset then the drivers could be a cause. Other Brother owners mentioned having problems with printing after a recent Brother update. From memory they found they had to get a CUPS driver from the Brother web site to resolve the symptom.

Ever since I installed Lion, I have problems using Excell

Ever since I installed Lion, when ever I open Excell ,30 files open and I have to close them before I can start using it. WTH is wrong ?

Disconnect all wired peripherals except the drive in question. The drive should be connected to a built-in USB port, not a hub, and it should have an external power source. Make sure the USB cable is securely seated at both ends. Boot in safe mode.
Test. Same problem? Connect it to a different built-in USB port. Same problem now? Try a different USB cable. Still the same?
After testing, reboot as usual (not in safe mode.)
If you have the same problem with the drive in all the above tests, then test it with another Mac, if possible.

Trouble with finder / spotlight ever since i installed lion.

Lion seems to have caused trouble with finder / spotlight ever since it was installed. Finder is struggling even with basic tasks (moving files)? This occures even when to other programmes are running. I have checked the VM for mds in activity monitor and this is constantly running at around 670MB, which is what I think is affecting finder. Is there any quick fix?

MAIL has stopped working ever since I upgraded to OS10.4.7 ? Please help!

Hi All,
My mail has stopped working(Sending and Recieving both) the moment I upgraded to OS 10.4.7
Someone at work had the same issue when they upgraded to 10.4.7 and after trying for a while when they went back to OS10.4.6 the mail started working again. I dont want to go back to OS 10.4.6
Please help.
Thanks and regards,

Hi Adnan,
The Mac OS X 10.4.7 Update introduced connection issues as a result of (according to the documentation) "Mail now supports connecting to mail servers through a SOCKS proxy". If that's the problem, you must go to System Preferences > Network and disable the SOCKS Proxy in the network configuration used to connect to the Internet, if it's enabled.

For my birthday i was given a ipad FOR Chrismas i GOT A Diary

Hi,
I am having the same issue listed above on my new Mac Mini i just bought, I also contacted Express VPN support and got the same instructions with exception of the command to run in the utilities terminal. I tried the steps listed, and both commands (posted here, and sent to me directly by Express VPN support), and still unable to connect on my Mac Mini running OS X 10.8.2, but I am able to connect on my iPad and my MacBook which is running Mac OS X 10.6.8. Usually Express VPN is spot on with their customer support, but this is taking longer to get resolved. Here is the steps sent to me
Try doing the following to see if the problem gets resolved:
Please follow the instructions here: https://www.expressvpn.org/support/setting_dns_servers_mac_os
(should still be the same for Lion) and then add the following DNS servers: 8.8.8.8 & 208.67.222.220. After adding the DNS servers, please do the following steps as well:
Note: If you're connecting to your ISP via a PPPoE connection, then set the DNS servers on the PPPoE connection itself and then restart your computer for the DNS settings to take effect.
1. Click on Applications
2. Click on Utilities
3. Click on Terminal
4. Type the following command (without the quotes): "sudo killall -HUP mDNSResponder"
5. Press enter and then try reconnecting to the VPN.
If you're still unable to connect, please send us in the latest log files.
Hope this helps. Let us know how it goes.

Ever since I installed Lion my screen flicks

It happens when booting, launching applications ~ Any idea why? I wonder if there's something I should worry about considering my AppleCare ends in June 2012. Perhaps it was a latent problem with SL but it is amplified with Lion? In any case it was never noticed with SL.

What type of Mac do you have and is it the Extended AppleCare?
It could be indiciatve of a hardware problem. It couldn't hurt to call AppleCare and report the issue.
They may have you run some tests before suggesting repair. If a bad component is detected, they have you bring it/send it in for service. If it is the Extended AppleCare and it is a Desktop model, if you live within 50 mi. of an Applle Store you can get on-site service.

Ever since I installed Snow Leopard (10.6.8), masking in QuickTime 7Pro has stopped working. Has anybody experienced this? Is there a work around? Can I use FCP to add masks to video?

Ever since I installed Snow Leopard (10.6.8) a month ago, the masking function in QuickTime 7Pro (v. 7.6.6) stopped working. Masks disappeared in old videos where I had previously and successfully added a mask, and I could not longer use QT 7Pro to add a mask to a new video. When I installed Snow Leopard I also installed QT X, but I found QT 7Pro in the Utilities folder, so it is still there but the masking function is definately not working.
Has anybody else experienced this?
Is there a remedy so I can recover my older masked videos, and make new masked videos?
Can I make masked videos in Final Cut Pro?
Thanks!

Since I installed Lion on my macbook the LED light does not pulse when I close the screen - the sleep function does not work.

Since I installed Lion on my macbook the LED light does not pulse when I close the screen - the sleep function does not work neither when chosen after pressing the button nor chosen in the apple menu..

I have had the same problem but on another forum it was suggested that disabling internet sharing would solve this. This fix seems to work on my machine - why it works I do not understand

How come, ever since I installed Mountain Lion, my computer is slower???

How come, ever since I installed Mountain Lion, my computer is slower???

First, back up all data immediately, as your boot drive may be failing.
Launch the usual set of applications you use when you notice the problem.
Step 1
Launch the Activity Monitor application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Activity Monitor in the page that opens.
Select the CPU tab of the Activity Monitor window.
Select All Processes from the menu in the toolbar, if not already selected.
Click the heading of the % CPU column in the process table to sort the entries by CPU usage. You may have to click it twice to get the highest value at the top. What is it, and what is the process? Also post the values for % User, % System, and % Idle at the bottom of the window.
Select the System Memory tab. What values are shown in the bottom part of the window for Page outs and Swap used?
Next, select the Disk Activity tab. What approximate values are shown for Reads in/sec and Writes out/sec?
Step 2
You must be logged in as an administrator to carry out this step.
Launch the Console application in the same way as above. Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left.
Post the 50 or so most recent messages in the log — the text, please, not a screenshot.
Important: Some personal information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Edit it out before posting.

Ever since I installed MAVERICK, nothing now works, Flash Player won't run, printer works but scanner will not and the computer runs so slow. Any help anywhere?

wqn02h, first thing I would do is use Disk utility to repair permissions. Once this is done. Make sure you have the latest versions of the software you use. Also, check the manufacter of your printer/scanner for updated software. If they don't have updated software there are 3rd party alternatives that will work.

Since I installed Lion, Apple Works

Since I installed Lion, Apple Works and Neo Office are gone. I have years of spread sheets on Apple Works that I have to have access to. And lots of other stuff on Neo Office. How can I get them back?

I am new to these kind of problems. Are you saying to use iWork Pages and Numbers and I will be able to open Appleworks? I don't have iWork, but would gladly buy it if it would open Appleworks.
Thanks
Pages will open Appleworks wordprocessing files. Numbers will open Appleworks spreadsheet files. Other types of files will need some other app to open them. But some have no appropriate app. For example, nothing opens an Appleworks drawing file. (At least, people report that it's not 100% satisfactory.)
So if all your documents are wordprocesing and spreadsheet, then Pages and Numbers will work for you. You can download a 30 day trial to see for yourself.
