Upgrade to lion causes frequent forced quits in adobe software

After recent upgrade to Lion OS I have trouble running Lightroom 4 and Photoshop CS 6 Beta. Lightroom 4 frequently crashes upon opening. Photoshop CS 6 is unable to open an image file from Finder, Bridge or Lightroom and also freezes up. iMac no longer recognizes wireess keyboard strokes. Have tried disk utility repairs and various restarts with key strokes to reset but they don't work after a short while. Any suggestions?

Will upgrading to lion cause me to lose any installed software (iLife, etc)

I have a Mac mini that I don't know that much about. It has Snow Leopard, but I need to upgrade to Lion to get the new SDK. Coming from the Windows world, you can lose everything that's currently installed when you upgrade operating systems. I don't have install disks for the software that came on my system out of the box. None of the upgrade tutorials that I've seen address this. Any advice?
Thanks!

Make a Time Machine backup and download a free/donationware copy of CarbonCopyCloner and also make a bootable clone of your system. This is just in case something does go wrong during the upgrade. Then you should just be able to install Lion over Snow Leopard and all your programs and settings should still be there. Just remember that any PPC programs will no longer be supported.

Will upgrading to Lion effect the way any of the software I have already installed runs??

How can I avoid frequent force quits?

I frrequently have to force quit my IMac using Mountain Lion, but I had much the same problem w/ Snow Leopard and Lion. The problem occurs most often when I switch from incoming comcast mail to incoming mac. or gmail, all of which have folders in my Mail folder, but it fairly often occurs with Safari and sometimes w/ other applications. I regularly repair disk permissions and rebuild the mailboxes and have run Disk Warrior 4.4, all to no avail, and I have discused tthe problem at length several times with seemingly competent technical representative at AppleCare, but the problem always returns. I shall be most grateful for any help U can provide.

Many thanx, markwmsn, for your fine addn'l help. I added a new user as U suggested and switched back and forth between the new user's A/C and my three e-mail accounts and also between my own accounts w/o needing a "force quite" all morning, so everything is working well now. Have not yet needed a "force quite" on Safari or Address Book either. U may well have fixed everthing, but I'm still keeping my fingers crossed because of my bad past experience. Thank U, thank U. thank U!!!!!!

How to install Adobe Photoshop CS5 upgrade to Lion 10.7 if I have Adobe Photoshop CS2?

I recently upgraded to a new Macboook Pro and with that upgrade am using Lion version 10.7. On my previous MBP I had Snow Leopard installed. Also had Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator CS2 installed on that and then later upgraded to CS5 on that machine. Now with Lion I am unable to do that. I aware of the technical hurdle.....Lion does not support Rosetta or PowerPC applications and therefore I cannot load CS2 on there initially and then upgrade to CS5. So does this mean that I am screwed unless I buy a full version of Photoshop and Illustrator CS5 to put on Lion? Or is there a workaround?
I still have the old MBP so I could migrate all the files from the old computer to the new computer. Short of that is there any other workaround? If I gave the serial numbers of CS2 and the CS5 upgrade to a rep at Adobe could they unlock CS5 for me so that I can download it to my new MBP?
On another note does anyone think about backward compatibility anymore? Has Apple totally lost its mind? And will Adobe cash in on this opportunity? Is it too much to ask for a representative from Adobe to get back to you after posting your callback number? Customer service does not exist.....its is unprofitable to actually "serve" customer because a customer is a tool to be exploited as are all resources in a corporation.
This is American corporatism at its finest. You have a software monopoly with Adobe on one hand along with a computer manufacture that is not competent enough to produce a backward compatible operating system. If these companies operated for the consumers benefit they would be out of business.
There is no way I'm paying for a new version of the Adobe software. Surely someone can understand my frustration and that this frustration is be being echoed by hundreds of users. But apparently we are stupid right? We are stupid because we just want to be able to smoothly transfer stuff that we have paid so much for to a new operating system but cannot. And thats because on a whim it all changes.

Shaidipur when you install Photoshop CS 5 it will request your qualifying serial number. Assuming you purchased the proper update simply type in your Photoshop CS2 serial number.
In regards to compatability I believe their is a maximize compatibility option within Photoshop. For further details I would recommend posting your question into the Photoshop forum.

Upgrade to Lion Causes Black Screen On MacBook Pro

I read early discussion posts on this topic and thought by now Apple would have corrected this poblem but apparently not. I updgraded my MacBook Pro last night to Lion and since last evening I have had 5 black screen (failures) and had to power off and reboot. Is there a known correction or update to this problem? It is extremely disappointing as I need my Mac for my business and cannot afford to send it to a depot for a five day repair.
This same problem was happening to me with an older OS but ONLY when I used both PowerPoint and Parallels at the same time. For this probem I took the MacBook into the Genius Bar and had to leave it there through the weekend and all day Monday. They told me after running multiple tests they found no hardware problems and the issue had to be software. The only fix was a five day depot repair. I thought I would manage by not using PowerPoint and Parallels together but now, with the Lion Upgrade it happens with ALL apps and when I simply try to read an email. Very, Very DISAPPOINTING. COME ON APPLE, DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS. PLEASE.

Lion has been causing a lot of problems on older hardware, it killed a 4 year old 15" MBP on me.
Go back to 10.6, the stability of your business comes first.

Upgrade to Lion causes menu bar icons to delay loading on startup

Hi everyone.
I upgraded to OSX Lion and my only issue so far has been after a restart the airport icon and battery/power (time remaining icon) do not load in the menu bar for anywhere from 30 seconds to a minute after the desktop has loaded. I will be get an IP address and establish a connection but I am unable to use the airport menu bar prefrences until the after I wait for the icon to load. It's rather annoying when I need to select a particular wi-fi SSID after startup.
Completed PRAM reset, disk repair, and disk utility verification.
Any ideas?

IPhoto freezes and won't 'force quit'

9.1.3 freezes when trying to resize the window and also won't scroll through photos, goes about halfway and returns to top. This is a question and an answer. Apple was NO help I am 2 weeks out of phone support, I am not paying $50 to help them fix their own software issue. The answer? Revert to 9.1. 9.1 works just fine. I hope this helps someone else before Apple pulls it for being 'negative'. Wait for the update after 9.1.3 before upgrading!!

When I force quit the pop-up window appears.
What pop-up window?

I recently upgraded to Lion, and immediately started having consistent problems with Open Office 12 (would hang, and need a Force quit to recover). Has anybody else seen these problems? Any solutions other than going back to Snow Leopard? (I did).

Hi Pete. The repair of disk permissions can help resolve any application crashing or misbehaving.
As for Lion and the two camps, I think that is a reasonable observation. In my office we have about a dozen Mac's and about one third of those Mac's had problems after updating from 10.6 to 10.7. The main problem for these Mac's was a loss of wifi stability. But for the other two-thirds, Lion was a smooth transition.
Personally, my Lion experience was fine. But I did get a new i7 MacBook Pro with Lion already installed and only had to migrate my user data from a 10.6.8 TM backup.
So I think that is a key for Lion's operational success. A clean install of Lion on a new Mac would not cause too many operational issues. But an installation, or more correctly, an update to Lion from SL increased the chances of failure for some users - especially when old software & plugins resided on the Mac. And I would say that they were the people that you saw at the Apple store.
As for the "latest release of Lion fixed my problems" statement, my experience with these and other forums is that people mostly only go there to complain about the problems they are having. If they are having no problems then they either keep it to themselves or they try to help the users who are experiencing trouble...

IPhoto hangs after 9.3.2 update/Mountain Lion upgrade...must force quit to close.

I updated to iPhoto 9.3.2 this morning. Then, I upgraded to OS X Mountain Lion. I can open iPhoto and use it, without any noticeable problems, however, when I try to quit iPhoto, it hangs indefinitely. It doesn't crash, it just doesn't quit. In order to close it, I have to use Force Quit, which does close it. But there's obviously a problem...
I don't seem to be having any other issues, but this isn't the first time I've experienced minor issues with iPhoto on my early 2008-build iMac...iPhoto has been glitchy (slow, temporarily freezes) for quite a while...I keep thinking these updates will solve the problem, but they don't seem to help/make it worse...
Any suggestions/ideas?
Thanks.

Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

Why do i have to keep Force quitting applications ever since i upgraded to Mountain lion. It is very annoying when applications cannot be existed normally

Why do i have to keep Force quitting applications ever since i upgraded to Mountain lion. It is very annoying when applications cannot be existed normally.

Does your system meet these Mountain Lion System Requirements?:
General Requirements
OS X v10.6.8 or later
2GB of memory
8GB of available space
Some features require an Apple ID; terms apply.
Some features require a compatible Internet service provider; fees may apply.
Supported
Models
iMac (Mid 2007 or newer)
MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer)
MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer)
Xserve (Early 2009)
MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer)
Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer)
Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer)
And as user macsonrisanoted above, 4 GB of RAM is the practical minimum amount of RAM that Mountain Lion really needs since the OS itself uses at least that much often by itself.

After upgrading to Mountain Lion the mail app will not quit and then freezes only a force quit will work. How do i quit it normaly?

Mail will not quit normaly only force quit works. Any help?

Under the Mailbox drop down it is the last option. Just select a mailbox first before going to the Mailbox menu.

Will not upgrade mail database....freezes and must force quit

downloaded lion and mail requires upgrade mail database. Freezes and does not upgrade and must force quit. Try again and same thing happens.
I can get mail from icloud but not thru mail icon on dock. Help!

I think it's safe to say that FCPX wasn't tested throroughly for use on anything.
with that out of the way, there are many variables as to what might cause your problems, but I don't think it's the mac mini as long as it meets the specified minimum requirements (especially the graphics card).
You might try creating a camera archive first and then importing from that.
The other issue might be the file format itself; you might need to use Clipwrap first. Maybe someone who has the same camera can chime in.

Upgrade to Lion and then to Mountain has caused me problems

After upgrading to Lion a year ago or so I developed a problem on my MB Pro that I'd never had before. (1) My Mail app starting acting funny. I'd compose an email then click send, but it would sit in the Outbox--for hours, even days. I had to login to MobileMe to send mail and to get Mail. And (2), my system would frequently crash. If I left 3-4 apps open and then went and had lunch, for example, when I came back, my system had crashed. The screen was blanked out, and I had to move the mouse, kind of use it like an eraser to erase a part of the crap in the foreground of the screen so that I could see my login, after which I would enter my password and then login. After login in I would find that all of my apps had either crased or were frozen. I thought it might be that I needed to upgrade my Memory, so I upgrade from 4 GB to 8 GB, but this didn't do any good.
So...after Mountain Lion came out, I upgraded, hoping by some miracle this might solve the problem. But no, the problem persisted. I had AppleCare and so I called Apple three times about this problem, but they couldn't solve it either, although one senion tech adviser did manage to get my Mail app working again. He went to some folder (I wish I'd noted what this folder was at the time but I didn't), found there was sever gobbly-gook or junk files inside it, and then proceeded to delete them. After this my Mail app worked OK but the other problem persisted.
A week ago I backed up everything on my MB Pro to my Time Machine BU, bought a new Mac Mini, and then used Migration Assistant to import all my data from the Time Machine BU. I was hoping for a miracle--i.e., hoping that this problem would disappear. But not only has the problem not disappeared, I now can't even use my Mail app on the new Mac Mini. It is completely disabled...plus I still get the random crashes. I am getting by using my old MB Pro. I've transfered back to my MB Pro my essential files and I am using it while I try to figure out what in the **** is going on with the original data on my Mac Mini.
Any ideas would be much appreciated.

Install or Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion from Scratch
Be sure you backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive because the following procedure will remove everything from the hard drive.
Boot to the Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Erase the hard drive:
1. Select Disk Utility from the main menu and click on the Continue button.
2. After DU loads select your startup volume (usually Macintosh HD) from the left side list. Click on
the Erase tab in the DU main window.
3. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Optionally, click on the Security button and set the Zero
Data option to one-pass. Click on the Erase button and wait until the process has completed.
4. Quit DU and return to the main menu.
Reinstall Lion: Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion and click on the Install button.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.
