Troubleshooting itunes after upgrade to Lion 10.7 (Macbook white)

Hi, I have a MacBook (white model 2008). I updated the OS X 10.5.8 to Lion 10.7 . Everything seems ok, except that itunes is not working, the app doesn't even open. A message appears saying that the app is not compatible with the OS X.
I tried to uninstall and reinstall itunes, but the message keeps poping.
Is there anything i can do to use itunes with this OS X?

Hello AdryZav
Where are you opening iTunes, in the Dock or the Application Folder? Try opening it from the Application Folder or in Launch Pad as the dock may be referring to a previous link that is not the current version.

after upgrade to Lion OS, my MacBook Air is noisy (Heating)

Hi there,
I am sorry to hear that.
It seems that Lion's "demands" regarding processor power and RAM are significantly higher than those of Snow Leopard. I guess there is very little you can do - except maybe (like many of us) hope for a less processor-cycle hungry 10.7.1 update.
Moreover, if you have processes like Time Machine, Spotlight or - say - Backblaze doing extensive work in the background (as they do when you switch them on for the first time), that will also eat up a lot of processing power.
Finally, there are a lot of hardware gadgets called "notebook coolers" which are very often simply metal plates which help conducting the heat away from the "underbelly" of your MacBook Air.
Hope this helps a bit & good luck!

Slow than walk after upgrading mountain lion on my macbook pro

when using leopard, it all works well. but last few days, I have to develop with xcode, and the new version requires me to upgrade the os to moutain lion. then I spent 158 hkd in your app store download the lion. after upgrading, all the things become worse. Previously, even when I open a vm running windows XP, the programs in mac os running with no problem. but now i just browse the internet in chrome, it would stuck and i can't click anything. this circumstance appears several times! and when i watch some online videos(no other apps running at the time), i found it like powerpoint! and the boot time of my macbook pro never took more than 30 seconds before but now 3 minutes! maybe not enough. all the things become slowly and slowly and slowly. your moutain lion os really *****!
my macbook pro is with i5 CPU and 4GB memory.
is there anyway i could optimize it, just run a bit faster!

How do I restore iTunes after upgrading to Lion?

Upgraded from Snow Leopard to Lion and, in the process, appear to have lost access to my iTunes. After the upgrade, when I clicked on the iTunes icon, I was then asked if I wanted to "install iTunes!" I have found folders that appear to contain the contents, but really don't want to re-build my iTunes from scratch.
How can I reclaim my iTunes?? Great thanks in advance!

This is getting confusing.
First, there is iTunes the application. That should open no matter what, even if it opens to a blank library.
Second, there are all the library contents (what's in your iTunes folder) which should also open when you start iTunes and present you with what you're used to seeing.
It seems to me that it is your application that isn't starting (and so the comment about replacing with your backup doesn't apply). Is this correct? If so, I personally don't have the answer since I don't run Lion and don't know it's insallation procedure. I thought iTunes application was part of the OS for Lion and should be automatically installed. Maybe you do need to say yes when it asks you if you want to install it.
I am assuming you did a complete backup of your hard drive before upgrading to a new OS, so in case it did actually wipe out your library (which it should not have) you can get all your files back?

Cannot update iTunes after upgrading to Lion

After installing Lion on two machines - a new MacBook Pro and a year old iMac - I get a 'The update “iTunes” can’t be installed' 'An unexpected error has occurred'. When trying to update iTunes. The error happens during the Cleaning Up step.

I also have this exact same problem.
I am afraid to remove my current version of iTunes in order to install the new one because I feel I won't be able to reinstall it again if anything goes wrong.

Issues with iTunes after upgrading to Lion OS v10.7

Hello my sabi friends out there,
I just upgrated to Lion OS v10.7, everything seemed to be in order, however, I lost ALL my playlists on iTunes, in addition, some music never transfered to iTunes. I tried to restore iTunes from my last back up, however, after that I am unable to open iTunes. I get the following message: "Check with the developer to make sure that iTunes works with this version of Mac OS. You might need to reinstall the application.....". So I did resintall iTunes 10.6 but I get the same message.
Please help.
Thx,
Marco V.

Try trashing your mail preferences:
<YOUR NAME>/Library/Preferences/com.apple.mail.plist
After that, it may be a good idea to do a Repair Disk Permissions:
Applications/Utilities/Disk Utility. Select your hard drive in the left pane, click the first aid tab at the top, then click the Repair Disk Permissions button.

Image capture not working after upgrading to lion. New MacBook pro 13".

Anybody else? Any suggestions?

I was brave and did what you said. (Thanks for being patient - I am an old lady).
I erased the external drive (called Time Machine Backups) in the diskutility.app.
Now - when I restarted Time Machine I am still told that there are no disks available to be backed up, and that this can happen if all disks are in the “Do not back up” list.
So maybe I really did mess up the list of items to be excluded from backups?
How do I restore the list now to what it should be?

Macbook Pro overheat after upgrading to lion

After upgrading to lion my 2011 macbook pro is a lot slower and overheats so much anyone else have this problem?

I have not tried reinstalling lion or cloning my hard drive, but in another support thread here, I was told to reset my PRAM to solve another problem I was having. This actually fixed my fan problem (now it is running at 2000 rpm with six applications running). Once you do this, your spotlight index will be erased so for the first hour or so after resetting your PRAM, it will be blazing away. However, mine stopped after the spotlight index finished.
Resetting PRAM and NVRAM
Shut down the computer.
Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command, Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
Turn on the computer.
Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys. You must press this key combination before the gray screen appears.
Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
Release the keys.

I can't hear sound after upgrading to lion

I have this little annoying problem with my iMac after upgrading to Lion OSX. After waking up my iMac I can't hear any sound from internal speakers, ie: only video on Youtube, but no sound, but whilst pressing volume up/down button I can hear beep. When it happens So I have to restart system everytime it happens. Anyone any ideas or maybe someone out there has the same problem?

I'he double checked everything, only 1 output device (internal speakers). As I said before, it is weird because I can play iTunes and can hear "beep", but neither youtube sound, nor game sound or internet radio seems to be working, no sound whatsoever. But this time system didn't go to sleep, it has just happened suddenly.... Restart again then!

After upgrading to Lion, FaceTime does not give me a login screen. Help!

After upgrading to Lion, I tried to use FaceTime for the first time. The login screen never launches. What can I do to get a login screen?

update: It seems like the XCode update did interfere with itunes. I reran the XCode install this time with itunes not running. This seems to update all necessary drivers and Library items correctly.
After this IPad and IPod touch were working fine again.

Lost data after upgrade to Lion

Hi. I recently upgraded to Lion on my Macbook Pro and after a crash, my data was lost. The documents and downloads folders were empty. Fortunately I have a PC backup of the data and when I tried to restore the music to Itunes I was getting error messages about my MAC hard disk being full. Is the data still there? If so where? As it is not showing and a search for music on the hard disk yielded nothing. The capacity of my HD is 250GB and before the upgrade it had about 125GB free. I suspect the data was not removed but merely 'marked for deletion' and parked somewhere during the upgrade.

To find out if it really is still there, check this FAQ* on disk space:

Significant slowdown of Time Machine after upgrade to Lion; indexing problem

After upgrading to Lion over the weekend I notice a significant slowdown of Time Machine processing. I assumed the first backup or two would take some time but it's been a couple of days. The process always hangs up at the "Indexing backup" stage. It takes a couple of hours to finish.
I found several threads relating to slowed down backups on Lion, most seem to hang at the "Preparing" stage (not the same symptom) but I did find some good diagnostic pointers. I installed the widget to see what kind of messages were being produced and found a few dozen "Waiting for index to be ready (100)" messages at the end of the stream. Further research - this is not a good thing :-) It seems a couple of such messages can be ok, but this many usually indicates a problem. I'm going to discount the possibility of a hardware failure because everything was perfectly fine up to the point I made the upgrade. Plus the prepare and copy seem to proceed at the expected speed (I watched the most recent cycle just to be sure).
Here is the full message log (it's still running at the moment):

I further found the advice and instructions on how to run the disk utility on the sparsebundle. I did a verify and repair, and the results came back that the drive appears to be ok (it did not say that it explicitly repaired anything).
But the problem remains.
I use a 1TB Time Capsule with plenty of free capacity (only half full). The TC and my MacBook are both hardwired into the home network, networking speed has never been an issue.
I'd sure hate to delete the backup file and start from scratch, there's over a year's worth of data there and I have, occassionally, wanted to go in there and pick up a downlevel or subsequently deleted file.
Any advice on other diagnostics or repair options to take? Thanks!
Paul

After posting I decided to keep trying to slog my way through the troubleshooting guide. Some of the steps are beyond my understanding but I did follow the advice in #D2 to delete the .Spotlight-V100 file from the sparsebundle. That action does seem to have done the trick, the backups are now completing in normal time. I ran a couple just to be sure. I've verified the backups with BackupLoupe and entered the Time Machine, all appears to be in order and as expected. The only odd side effect is that the backup volume is no longer ejected after completion but that might just be an artifact of all my mounting/de-mounting and playing with Finder. Anyway a very small price to pay for what looks to be a working system again.
Hopefully the good behavior will last through a few days and a few reboots :-)

Is this FACT: After upgrading to LION, my apps would be normal?

Hello, I just want to be sure.
After reading all the discussions here in OS LION about troubles regarding apps not working in LION and works fine in Snow Leopard, etc. I finally have my concluding question.
Is it true that after UPGRADING TO LION, MY APPS AND FILES (like videos, pics) WILL BE AS NORMAL AS IT LOOKS LIKE BEFORE? Example of it is my dock which apparently includes all my important apps that I am needing?
(Except for the fact that some apps needs to be compatible with the latest version of LION.) I totally get all your point.
Because if that's the case, then i can be rest assured and less worried to install LION on my macbook (w/ the latest version of Snow Leopard).
Pls. reply thanks!
