Trackpad won't work with LION new options...Apple said trackpad solid-state and not compatible MACPRO...REALLY???

So frustrated!! Should have had disclamer that it might not work with OLDER 2008 MacPro...

It seems to work fine with my March 2007 Mac Pro. Mind you, you're probably overlooking the need for the Bluetooth adapter. I bought a Belkin adapter from Apple Store. UK, cost about GBP10.

Intuit's Quicken won't work with Lion. Installed and am using Quicken Essentials but it's not as convenient.

Intuit's Quicken won't work with Lion. Installed and am using Quicken Essentials but it's not as convenient.

this has been an issue with Quicken for a long time! Quicken was initially a Mac only application and then they got greedy! i beta-tested Quicken for Intuit for years and when they announced they were not going to support it any more the screaming was loud but not heard!
Quicken Essentials is a crime! i wasn't even asked to beta-test it; probably because they would have gotten an earful!!! it is not essential; it is stupid.... AND, of course, their online version was a disaster. i use Quickbooks Online for business and it works like a charm; i mean it even downloads ignominious PayPal transactions now!
i am also stupid for not really checking out if it would work with Lion - ALL of my financials are on it. I am going to have to do what @cwiens suggested above and either pull out an old Macbook I have or my well stored original Cube in its original box! thank the fates for the double backup i've always done with Quicken - Time Machine & its own key drive!
btw, this is an old Microsoft trick - not having older versions of apps work on OS updates so they force you to buy the new versions.

Microsoft Office. Epson Scan, Canon software won't work with Lion OS

Microsoft Office. Epson Scan, Canon software won't work with Lion OS

Microsoft office 2008 and later work fine on Lion. Office 2004 is a PowerPC application. PPC apps are no longer supported and Lion does not include Rosetta, which was required to run them on OS X. I imagine the Epson / Canon software you are trying to use is the same. Check with them to see if updates are available.

Magic Trackpad won't work with Magic Mouse on brand new 2011 27" i5 iMac

I have a brand new 2011 27" i5 iMac which I bought with Snow Leopard pre-loaded. Naturally, I included the new Magic Trackpad in my purchase, and though there were some problems with the device in SL - such as it going haywire without explanation - it generally worked, although battery levels were erratic (one day 80%, then an hour later 42%, then 80% again).
When I installed Lion I did a clean install after backing up to Time Machine - and a Super Dupered external drive. I had some difficulties trying to install Lion from an external flash drive so I deleted again and reinstalled SL, then reinstalled over the SL install I did (with no other software except Mac OS X 10.6.8 and other system updates to facilitate install). Rather than copying apps from my old SL drive, I downloaded fresh copies and reinstalled one by one. I don't use a lot of apps apart from Microsoft Office, browsers and iLife and have not installed any additional scripts, extensions or add-ons (like USB Overdrive). It's a pretty clean install.
Since then, although I'm generally happy with Lion, the Magic Trackpad won't work! It does work for a little while with basic gestures - mainly moving the cursor and scrolling - then it gives up the ghost and loses connectivity. I have done the following:
Disconnected and reconnected the MTP after turning it on and off. MTP works for about two minutes, goes crazy then no response.
Shut the computer down, pulled out the plug, waited two minutes, then started up again. MTP works for about two minutes, goes crazy then no response.
Run Onyx, shut down computer, then pulled out plug (see above).
Checked options in Universal Access, shut off "Ignore other devices when trackpad in use" (or whatever the option is). MTP works for about two minutes, goes crazy then no response.
Turned off the Magic Mouse. MTP works for about two minutes, goes crazy then no response.
But none of this seems to work! I know the MTP is connected because I can see it in the BT menu in the menu bar and also in System Preferences. I have noticed since upgrading that my permissions - which when I bought the computer were totally clean - now run lines and lines about "Library/Core Services" so I am unsure whether this is related. I also notice a lot of people are in the same boat as me, which makes me wonder if it's either a hardware issue or a release issue - after a week or so of totally silent running, my 2TB Hitachi HDD started up with the grumbly tum. I'd really appreciate any tips from anyone out there!

Hi, marksaner
You could try installing the latest version of the Synaptics driver. Synaptics is the company that makes the UltraNav driver and drivers for many other computer brands. This driver should have the same functionality as the UltraNav driver, so there's no worry there. You can find the driver here.
Hope it helps,
Adam

I recently install Lion OS on my iMac and just found out that my Canon 4400F scanner won't work with Lion, what can I do to get it working again?

I am having trouble with some of my previously installed software before installing the New Lion OS. I just found this evening that my Canon 4400F Scanner will no longer work with the new OS. I need to know if there is a solution for this short of buying a new scanner? I am also upset that my Microsoft Office Professional will no longer boot as well. Anyone know why this took place?

If it will not longer work due to Lion, it's most likely becasuse no drivers for Lion have been released. No way to get aroud it other than going back to Snow Leopard. MS Office wont work if it is '04 or earlier becasue it is a PPC application. Mac switched from PPC to Intel in 2006 and created the Rosetta emulator to allow companies to make their software compatable or allow users to buy new software. After 5 years, Rosetta support was dropped, with the release of Lion. No way to get this software to work with Lion.

Quicken for Mac replacement - won't work with Lion

Quicken has sent an announcement to users confirming that Quicken for Mac 2005-2007 will not work with Lion, and encourage these users to begin using Quicken Essentials. Obviously this is not an option for many. I'm going to try out iBank 4 as a full replacement for Quicken for Mac, although I understand online bill pay is not supported.
Any other former Quicken for Mac users using iBank 4? Would love to hear your thoughts about it.

Just to add to the thread..
As Quicken will not be supporting the Mac Lion Update, I will require a replacement financial/banking software package for Quicken 2007.
I tried Quicken Essentials but it does not do what I need.
I am looking for the following features:
Check Printing
Memorized Transactions (QuickFill in Quicken)
Custom Reports
Memorized Reports
Scheduled Transactions
I do not need investment/budget/online banking features.
Sure would appreciate some advice!
Many thanks!

Photosmart C4780 won't work with my new router.

Hi
I have been sent a new plusnet TG582n router after my old one broke and now my wireless printer won't work.
I have tried uninstalling the software and connecting the printer via USB to reinstall on my windows 7 netbook but it came up with drivers failed to install.
On my windows 8.1 laptop I have uninstalled and reinstalled and this was unable to complete. I have now done a restore to a previous setting on both of them so the software and drivers are still on.
I have tried connecting my printer via USB cable but this tries to install the software again.
If I go into devices my printer shows up with error and won't print.
After trying all this I have now done a restore on the printer to factore settings (also trying the uninstall and reinstall via USB after this) and it still won't work.
After doing a wireless test report it came up with my old ssid initially even after installing my new router which has a new ssid. After resetting the printer it now comes up with SigmaplusEOL1. It shows on the report that wirelss is on and working but ssid fail.
I don't know what else to try as I have spent hours tyring different things and done trouble shooting several times.
I have also been told by plusnet that t he routershould work for wireless n or wireless g.
Please help!

Hi Tazza,
Welcome to the HP Forums! I understand that your HP Photosmart C4780, will not work with your new router. I am happy to help you with this! I believe these following guides should help:
The Printer is Not Found During Wireless Network Installation in Windows.
Printer Does Not Maintain Wireless Connection.
Just to make sure the hardware is functional, can you make copies standalone with the printer? Or what happens when you print a status report? Video of Printing a status report.
Hope to hear from you, and thank you for posting!

I heard Lyon won't work with Quicken, what software is taking it's place and will it be easy to transfer data?

I have read reports Lyon won't support Quicken. I use Quicken all the time. what finance software is taking it's place/recommended and will data transfer be seamless and easy?

You have that backwards. Quicken will not work with Lion, and Intuit will not produce a compatible program. They suggest you switch to Quicken Elements.
There are quite a large number of finance software available. You will find them at MacUpdate or CNET Downloads
I believe a good candidate is Mind Your Own Business - MYOB, but there are many others. You will have to find one that suits your particular needs best.
The Quicken you now have is able to export some of its data files to .csv format that can be used with other software that cannot read the standard Quicken file format.

Truecrypt won't work with lion.

Truecrypt worked great with Snow Leopard. Won't with Lion. Get message about "MacFUSE file system not available." There is info I need to get from Truecrypt. Help please.

I have just found that it indeed does work, but only after I downloaded a new revisionof Macfuse, which I learned from another forum.

Touchscreen and trackpad won't work after installing new OS

i want to ask why that after i upgraded my os, and during the start up when i have to scroll down the aggrements text my trackpad and my touchscreen won't work. is that any way to solve this problem? i beg you to answer my question please. i would be very grateful. thanks

Did you actually upgrade to OS 7.0 or to OS 7.1?
What OS were you previously on that you want to downgrade to?
For the application in question, go to Options > Device > Application Management. Find the app and delete it.
Now, go back to AppWorld and install it again and see if it works correctly.
For most apps that I know of, if they worked correctly on OS7, they will be fine on OS7.1

I upgraded to Snow Leopard because I want to upgrade to Lion so that I can upgrade my IPad2 to IOS5! All sorts of problems with this - but one is that iCal won't work (I haven't completed upgrade to Lion yet) and I can't find an update to make Ical work with Snow Leopard.

Oh and it also says:

My USB printer (Lexmark E350d) worked fine with the old Airport, but I'm having trouble with the new one. When I try to print, I get a USB Waiting message on the printer, and when I force a page to print by pressing Go on the printer, I get a page that says ERROR: syntaxerror OFFENDING COMMAND: true. . . .cvt . . . fpgm . . . x . . .lglyf . . . <..J head . . . STACK: / [ -mark- /sfnts I’ve tried shutting down the printer and disconnecting it and the Airport, but that doesn’t help. I reset the settings on the printer. I upgraded the Airport firmware and removed, reinstalled, and upgraded the Lexmark printer driver. After I upgraded the firmware and printer driver, a few pages printed correctly, but then I got the same syntax error page as before. Any suggestions for getting the printer to work correctly?

Use a powered USB hub between the AE and the printer.. the usb port does sometimes have issues.
Try deleting the printer in the Mac and reinstall it.. the change in AE can represent effectively a change of printer.. it is important to make sure that is all up to date.
Beyond that.. USB printers.. ughhh! Consider for two toners you can go and buy a proper network printer.

Software update 10.0.2 says that Logitech Device detection 1.23.05 won't work with this new update and will be disabled so I need Help.

I have a Logitech Y-BH52 keyboard so I don't want to have it disabled with the new update.

If your computer can't negotiate a 1Gbps connection, then that is what is limiting you to 94Mbps, which is about right for a "100Mbps" port.
There could be several reasons for this.
A bad NIC
A bad port on the switch
IMO, the most likely cause is a bad cable. 1Gbps requires all 4 pairs in the cable be connected. If only 2 of the 4 pairs are connected correctly, you will get a 100Mbps connect, but will not be able to connect at 1Gbps. Try replacing the cable with one known to work at 1Gbps.

My Norton Identity Safe won't work with the new version (4) of Firefox AND the new version isn't asking me to Remember my password info either - SO I now have to type in my password info wherever I go which is NOT a good thing. What can I do???

I have Norton Internet Security.
When I downloaded the new FF4 they said that a part of Norton wasn't compatible - and it seems that that part must have been my Identity Safe which holds all my password info & fills in all of my passwords for me.
You say this new version of FF automatically prompts me to have it save this info for me, but I sure didn't see that prompt and now every time I visit my online banking (and credit card site, etc, etc,) I have had to type in all this info myself.
This certainly is not convenient!
It's bad enough I just get used to one system and you all go & reinvent the wheel -BANG!
Hasn't anyone ever heard of baby steps?

Hmmm, Norton extensions are broken again in Firefox 4.0.1. It seems that Norton didn't allow for Firefox 4.0 security updates when they updated their Firefox extension for Firefox 4.0. Norton says they'll have a fix in two weeks. A Norton user posted a fix in this forum thread.

ICal won't work with Lion OS

I just downloaded the new Lion OS and now my iCal won't open. I click on the app and an error message pops saying "application may not be compatible with operating system"

yes, the "dock" is the tool bar at the bottom. Is your iCal already showing on the dock "tool bar"? if it is, right click on the iCal icon, click on "options", then click on remove from dock.
Then, go into your applications folder, right click on iCal, click "options", choose add to dock (or something like that).
