Unable to update to Lion from 10.6.8

Lion update frpm 10.6.8 not working over wifi - "buy-now" button does not get a response apart frm spinning wheel Tried changing "Location" as suggested in on-line help but no joy. Anyone know how to fix this?

Hmmm, the only thing I've used the app store for is to download Lion, so I'm not real knowledgeable about it. But, sometimes it helps to clear all settings so you can start fresh, so...
First, make sure you're signed out of the app store/iTunes. Depending on which browser you use: Reset Safari (make sure you get history, caches, cookies) or Firefox (Tools in menu > clear history/cache/cookies).
Then go to your Users folder > Library > Preferences and put the following files on your desktop or trash (don't empty yet):
com.apple.storeagent.plist
(that is the background app that scans your hard drive when you launch the app store)
log out/in and try it again.

Ok 1st one. The warning restriction message relates to this line in main.cf:
smtpd_helo_restrictions = permit_sasl_authenticated permit_mynetworks check_helo_access hash:/etc/postfix/helo_access reject_non_fqdn_hostname reject_invalid_hostname permit reject_invalid_helo_hostname
The last reject occurs after the single word "permit" and is ignored.
However, that's not the problem.
I'm not exactly sure what's happening, but this might be a clue.
It would appear that either postfix is not being able to create the socket for private/policy or it's somehow created with the wrong permissions. You might need to ramp up the debug level to get a better idea.
You could check if it's being created by "netstat -a | grep private/policy" in terminal.
My guess is that it's not being created because there is no setup statement in your master.cf file, but I don't understand why postfix would be looking for it if it isn't set up. Private/policy I think relates to grey listing. Maybe gives you a hint.

If I update to Lion from 10.6.8, will Adobe CS4 "upgrade" work?????

I have Adobe CS4 from an "upgrade". Will these adobe programs work if I upgrade to Lion? Please, need an answer ASAP, so I know whether to make my next computer a Mac or a PC!!!! It is absolutely ridiculous that my friend, who has at least 8 PC computers ( including business computers) is able to use all features of icloud using Win7(which is 16 months old), and I cannot use it on my "Apple" antique using 10.6.8(which is only 9 months old) (2.8 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo) for the same purpose.
I have never even had a PC, always an Apple product. Now I get slapped in the face, HARD. Apple just killed me for EVER buying another Apple computer, if I am unable to use ICloud with my computers which WILL run my adobe products. I also have an IMac Intel Core duo 3.06, two IPads and a new Iphone. and now I am done with Apple products I guess, if I have to update to Lion to use ICloud with a computer. Especially if Lion doesn't support my current expensive suite of CS4(UPGRADE), and other Apps. What on earth is Apple trying to do, phase out of computers totally? Have a relative who works for Apple, and no one can figure out why the company is so favoring the PC people. The only thing I can come up with is that Win7 is a far superior program to OS10.6.8, and is likely vastly superior to the current joke of "Lion", and the upcoming "Mountain Lion". At least Snow Leopards have some dignity, and honesty in their "live" form. "Lion" is aptly named after an animal widely known for killing and eating cubs of its own species. Mountain Lions are sneaky, creepy stalkers, who attack suddenly without notice, and kill animals off efficiently and quickly. Male Mt.Lions also are known to kill the young of their own species, even their own cubs. I guess these new OS's are aptly named, as they certainly are killing off those who have been faithful to Apple for so long.
I can buy a PC running Win 7, with the speed, programs, etc., that I need, for far less than a new, comparable Mac, which it seems will require me to purchase all new expensive Apps. (Adobe CS+), etc.
Why is Apple unable to either 1) offer its previously totally faithful adherants the ability to use its ICloud service using 10.6.8, which only came out 9 months ago (while Win 7 and Vista users can use the service easily), or at least make its new OS, work with expensive Apps owned by people, which work on 10.6.8, but will not work, so I hear, on "Lion" (and presumably not on "Mountain Lion" either).   Apple is/has turned into a predator of the worst sort, without a single thought or care about previously faithful customers.   WHY?
Also, off my wagon and back to my question; will an "UPGRADE" of Adobe CS4 work with the latest updated "Lion"? Thanks!

I went to that page. Basically, it didn't specifically answer my question, or I am too dense to find the answer. I understand that there are a few problems with Photoshop, which is the main use (of mine). I could live with what it says. I also found that there were problems with CS4, and using the brush tool, when I updated to 10.6.8. Found a fix to that by updating my Quicktime. Why that works, I have no idea. I am not a computer whiz, in fact at the other end of the spector, but read on a discussion that this updating of Quicktime worked, so tried it, and it did!
This community is a life saver for me. I live in rural Wyoming (I guess all of Wyoming is rural.....) and no one knows anything about Macs. All my problems have been solved by you great people! And I thank you !
My present concern is: I read somewhere else, that if my version of Photoshop, which is CS4, was purchased as an "upgrade", which it was, then maybe it will not upload to "Lion", as maybe the disk (upgrade), I have, may use Rosetta, which is NOT included in "Lion".   What I have read is that I would have to have a "new" (not an upgrade) version of CS4 in order for it to work with "Lion".   Anyone out there know the answer???? Photoshop users?????
Geniuses???? If you know, please help me out here. I love my Macs, but really am irritated that the friends I have tried to talk into buying Mac computers, but didn't, now can enjoy all the advantages of ICloud, with an older version of their computer program (Win 7 OR(!!!) VISTA, and I cannot !!!! Here I sit, with my 2 beloved Macs, both fairly new, 2 IPads, a new IPhone, and I am the one that cannot use ICloud?????? Was it in fact made for PC people, who have become Apple consumers through iPhone and iPad, and not made for the faithful, longtime Apple consumers???? HELP!!!!

Unable to update or buy from iTunes after I updated it

Unable to update and to buy from iTunes

Check iTunes and see if you have a pending/stalled download e.g. Podcast, Books, Music, Movies or iTune U. Finish off the download and you should be able to update.
If there are no pending or stalled downloads, sign-out of account, reboot and sign-in again.

Unable to update iphone 3G from 3.1.3 to 4.2

I've been unable to update my phone's OS to any 4.x version. The upgrade begins, but the backup process hangs. (if I just sync my phone, the backup runs properly)
Any advise?

Back up your phone before, than skip the back up process when updating.

Unable to download Mountain Lion from the App store

Hi, when I try to download Mountain Lion from the app store I get the message, " The product distribution file could not be verified ... " Obviously I'm doing something really stupid. Advice welcome!
Thanks

A belated thanks for your help. I'd never have solved it otherwise. Maybe Apple could change the automatic reply that I got initially ("The product distribution file could not be verified ....") othewise they risk loosing customers.
Thanks again.

Unable to reinstall Mountain Lion from recovery partition

Hi there,
   I have formatted my main HDD partition and then boot from recovery partition. I have a MacBook Pro 2011 series. I have reinstalled my Mountain Lion following on screen instructions. But when It's says is OK and 100% installed and begin restart the system, it is unable to boot and automatically boot from recovery partition again.
   Can anybody help me? What I have to do?
   Thanks in advance.
   vzuritae.

Why did you start this process in the first place? Was there something wrong with the original install of Mt Lion? Like your system wouldn't startup anymore?
I suspect it is a hardware problem and may be the drive is failing.
Is your Mac a Early or Late 2011 model. Did it come with Lion Pre-installed?
If it came with Lion Preinstalled then you can use the Online Internet Recovery system to first reinstall Lion. At startup hold down the Command+Option/Alt+r keys until you see a spinning globe in the center of the screen. From that screen select Disk Utility and Re-Partition the drive as One partition. Then close DU and select Reinstall Mac OS X. If after the install of Lion is downloaded and finishes the install your system still refuses to boot up properly then you have a hardware problem and only Apple can fix a hardware problem.

Unable to update the values from store procedure

hi ,
I have simple table with 3 columns. id, name , sal. am updating the salary based on names.
alter PROCEDURE p1(@names varchar(100))
AS
BEGIN
declare @empData varchar(200)
set @empData= '''' + replace(@names,',',''',''')+''''
print @empData
update tmp set sal =10 where name in ( @empData )
END
GO
if I execute same query (update tmp set sal =10 where name in ( @empData )) outside with printed @empData data it is working fine.
why the same is not working with SP ?
any ideas...

You need to split the list into a temporary table or table valued variable:
alter PROCEDURE p1(@names varchar(100))
AS
BEGIN
declare @empTable table ([name] varchar(100));
declare @p int = 1;
declare @len int = len(@names);
declare @nextP int = charindex(',', @name, @p) ;
set @nextP = case when @nextP = 0 then @len else @nextP end;
while @p < @len
begin
insert into @empTable
values (substring(@names, @p, @nextP-1));
set @p = @nextP + 1;
Set @nextP int = charindex(',', @name, @p) ;
set @nextP = case when @nextP = 0 then @len else @nextP
end
update tmp
set sal =10
where name in (Select [name] from @empTable );
END
GO

Does Updating To Lion From Snow Leopard Delete All Existing 802.1X Profiles

Hello.
I Was Just Wondering If I Installed Lion On My White Macbook Running The Latest Version Of Snow Leopard, Whether My 802.1x Profiles Will Be Migrated Across Or Deleted.
Many Thanks

I did, and my profiles are gone, and if you look at other posts, they cannot be easily added.
I am accessing my 802.1x profiles when I start up from Snow Leopard, and my question would be how I could import the profiles from Snow Leopard?

Advice on updating to Lion (from Leopard)

Hi everyone,
I have an early 2008 MacBook, version 4,1.
Specs:
2.4 GhZ Intel Core 2 Duo
2 GB 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM
160 GB
I'm currently running Leopard, which means I would have to buy Snow Leopard and then buy Lion through the Mac App Store.
Has anyone else done this and would you advise me to do the same?
Thanks!

Only if you need to upgrade. If you wish to use iCloud then you will need to upgrade to Lion. If you upgrade to Lion you will need to meet the minimum requirements:
Lion System Requirements
Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7, or Xeon processor
2GB of memory
OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
7GB of available space
Some features require an Apple ID; terms apply.
If you upgrade to Lion I would recommend installing at least 4 GBs of RAM provided it is supported by your model.

Unable to install Moutain lion from Recovery Parition

Hi Folks,
Well running into some issues with my iMac. (27" i5, 1TB drive)
Problem started when my two year old forced 2 CD's into the DVD bay. DVD was not happy and was making this horrible grinding noise.
Went to Apple store which is 3 Hours away, they told me they would have to keep it overnight as they needed to replace the DVD drive.
Since I was not staying overnight I decided to bring computer home and try to extract the disks myself and save myself $200 to replace the Superdrive.
Went onto YouTube and looked everything up on how to take the machine apart, pretty straight forward.
Took the iMac apart, got the DVD drive out and was able to extract the 2 CD's.
Put everything back together and started it up.
Mac started up as it usually does but was not getting WiFi connection, ran the diagnostic utility and it was still not working so decided to shut the machine down and restart.
Upon restart got the MAC logo and a Greg Status bar at the bottom, let it complete but after the status bar disappeared it just sat there and did nothing, restarted machine several times with same results.
Loaded the MAC from my recovery partition (Command R) Ran the Disk Utility, and did a Verify Disk on Macintosh HD, got an error "This disk needs to be repaired. Click Repair Disk "Ran Repair, went on for several minutes then got error "Disk utility can't repair this disk...disk, and restore your backup=up files"
Exited Disk Utility and selected Reinstall OS x from Utilities Menu.
Clicked on Continue, agreed to the license agreement then selected Macintosh HD but get a message "This disk is locked"
To make matters worst I guess I didn't correctly understand iCloud because I now get a sense the not all my photo's and music will be saved in iCloud, only the ones that I've purchased from apple and only the photoes taken from my photostream.....
Sort of a dead end here...not sure what to do next.
Any help would be appreciated.

Reboot into the recovery mode, launch the Terminal app, copy & paste each one-liner into the window that pops up, and hit the return key. Quit the Terminal app and try reinstalling the OS.
