Upgrade to lion if i may be getting an ipad2? and more issues...

i have an old macbookpro refurbed by someone and it's graphic card is apparantly an issue now. I was told it could be that or in need of a new screen. So i'm at a pass...if i'm going to get aanything new it would be mac and it would be BRAND new, no f'ing refurbs. However i was told i should get the macbook hooked up to the cloud before i get something new so everything can be transfered. I have MAC OSX 10.6.8 2ghz intel core duo and i couldnt upgrade straight to lion to get on the cloud. I dont know what to do at this point. I have thousands of pictures in iphoto and a ton of important files. Not much anything else, but those two things are worth much to me. I dont want to risk losing everything. Do i honestly have to put everything on jumpdrives and cd's ?????? would take me days.

The first thing you need to do is back up your data. You will inevitably lose any data you don't back up, no matter what you do.

Getting ms word and more memory for iBook

I just got a used iBook 10.4. It doesn't have ms word. The problem is, it only has 640 MB capacity and i'm worried that getting word will take up too much space. Are there any tricks to expanding the memory? and does anyone have any idea how much more memory i'll be able to get from a mac store?

Memory on a Mac is a combination of RAM chips and 'virtual memory' on your hard drive. You need space in both.
Heat was a problem with some iBooks, but if your's is still running, it's likely OK. Your computer can be fit with 1.12 to 1.5 GB of chip memory, and more disk memory than it needs. If Apple no longer carries your memory type, consider a quality online fix-it shop, or do it yourself. (Buy a book and learn about your Mac.)
Also, consider the free NeoOffice,
NeoOffice (look around for PPC variety)
http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/15797/neooffice
It's a complete office suite; and Microsoft XML format (for Word) was supposed to be called OpenOffice XML format. NeoOffice is a smaller and more reliable version of OpenOffice.org. (Watch for the .org: it's the free one.)

After upgrading to Lion OS 10.7.5 takes 10 seconds or more to access NAS folders and files

I've upgraded my customers IMacs to Lion OS and whenever they try to access folders on the Buffalo NAS terastation it takes about 10 seconds for the folders to populate with the files. It will open right away but will look blank. If I click get info during this time it says "fetching". I'm assuming it has something to do with the SMB change with lion but don't know how to fix it. I called Buffalo and they said it must be an apple issue. I called apple and they were of no help. THe tech support person asked me to reset my computer and leave it powered of for 30 seconds......ugh. Then I asked to speak to someone higher and we got cut off.
The Buffalo NAS terastation has SCSI drives but they are mounted to an HP Server. So the SMB connection is to the HP Server running server 2003. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Any luck getting the info on SMBX parameters like OPLOCKS ? This is apparently causing an issue with Autodesk Revit. I am resorting to installing SMBUP.
There is an article that describes this method for altering the Lion smbd configuration parameters for honoring ACLs:
sudo defaults write /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/com.apple.smb.server AclsEnabled -bool NO
from this article

After Upgrading to lion, can't burn a cd in iTunes and does not show up in finder

ive tried different cd brands and still nothing.. but the interesting thing is i can burn dvd's in itunes but still doesnt show in finder.
help!!!!

I'm having a similar issue, I choose to burn a playlist in iTunes, insert a disc and either get a message saying that I need to try another brand of cd, or the burn process starts then finishes immediately.
Ive tried several major name brands of cd-r.
Sometimes the disc is not even recognised. The drives spins up slowly then stops 3 times, then spits out the disc.
This happened on a previous version of OSX but had been working great since snow leopard. (now on Lion)
Any help greatly appreciated.

I just "upgraded" to 6.0. Now I get an "alert" and am blocked from accessing mail. What should I do? Uninstall?

Here's the "alert"
Could not initialize the application's security component. The most likely cause is problems with files in your application's profile directory. Please check that this directory has no read/write restrictions and your hard disk is not full or close to full. It is recommended that you exit the application and fix the problem. If you continue to use this session, you might see incorrect application behaviour when accessing security features.

Migrating a Power PC Mac to an Intel Mac is never a good idea.
Migrating Final Cut Studio is a bad idea -there are many FCS components in the System and Library folders, and quite a few in folders that are normally hidden from the user. They do not get transferred in a migration, so you end up with an incomplete installation of the applications.

OS X upgrade to Lion & iCloud has completely messed up my desktop and macbook?

Recently upgraded to OS X 10.7.2 on both my desktop Mac and my Macbook in order to activate iCloud. MobileMe is somehow screwing things up! All of my contacts in my address book reverted back to an older version losing my new cleaned up contact list and duplicating every single contact entry as well as every single event in my iCal calendar! Outgoing mail won't work properly either stating that my email server is not recognizing my user name and password. Also have tons of POSTMASTER undeliverable mail emails in my inbox that are to people/addresses I don't know? Why is my computer generating emails? Have I got a virus that was installed with the upgrade? I'm so ****** and irritated. Should've all gone seamlessly as I did everything status quo. Can anyone out there help me or relate?????

For a start sort your font sizing out, this is not the way to post.

After upgrading to Lion, system no longer finds my WiFi connection and has to be selected each time.

Well, the title just about tells it all! It can find the network connection, it just won't choose it automatically as it did under Snow Leopard. Any suggestions? Cheers

There have been hundreds of posts re: this issue. I suggest you begin browsing through them starting with those you should find over on the right side of this page.

Not getting all emails and sync issues

For some reason I am not getting all of my emails on my blackberry. I am using Outlook Express at home. Most emails come through but it is weird--some never get to my blackberry inbox and some replies I get from messages I send never get to my blackberry but appear in my outlook. What is the deal?
Also, even though my bb is set to reconcile on the mailbox and handheld, I still have to delete messages in both places. How do i fix that?
Thanks!!

Try temporarily turning off the desktop. If the problem goes away change the settings on the desktop to leave messages on the server. Or, if it is an MS Exchange or IMAP account it is probably automatically filing messages in folders as soon as they appear.

Not getting Facebook Notifications and other issues

Okay. I have been dealing with this since last night and I don't know what else to do. I have not been receiving any push notification from Facebook. I thought it was an issue with the device so I power cycled the device and when I tried to access the Facebook app, it asked me to sign in. As I proceeded to enter my log in information, I get an Error Code 2602 and was not able to log in until I uninstalled the app and then reinstalled it. What is going on? I have seen THOUSANDS of feedback posts in teh App World about this and it has not been addressed. It is things like this that make companies like Instagram not build apps for the Baclkberry platform. PLEASE FIX THIS IMMEDIATELY!!!!!

My guess would be that Facebook and/or RIM has done something and jacked up all Blackberry users. Hopefully they will get their act together and fix it... Android phones are looking better and better to me at this point, and I am considering not waiting the year and just buying one out right.

Accessory may not be supported error and charging issues with iphone4

Hello,
From past 2 weeks my Iphone4 (say A) keeps throwing error message "Accessory may not be supported" and doesn't charge the iphone after couple of minutes of charging. This happens when device is connected (for charging) to power outlet or to computer (USB port). I tried multiple original iphone/apple cables. The same cable allows me to copy pictures from this device/Iphone4 when connected to computer via same USB cable, but the device/iphone4 does not charge. The same cable and charger charges my other Iphone4 (say B) perfectly fine.
I am really frustrated as to why this is happening.
Searching on internet, it seems lot of people are facing this problem with their iphones and ipad devices and refer this issue as a software bug, which I also seem to think. How can it be the hardware issue when same charging port and same cables allows you to copy your pics etc. from your iphone device to your laptop but does not allow you to charge the same device? Same charging cable works with my other iphone4 and i tried multiple cables so I dont think it's a cable issue.
Any help is appreciated. I was expecting apple products to be better in quality but lately I have seen this issues quite often.

Make sure you are using an Apple approved charger and cable. The best would be the charger and cable that came with the iPhone in the original box.

How can I get my iPad2 and my desktop Mac to connect with FaceTime if they are both associated with the same email account?

It seems I should be able to use my iPad to connect with my Mac through facetime if I travel but they both have the same account settings since I am in the cloud. If I try to connect, I get a busy signal - naturally since I am calling myselt. Is there a way to get this to work?

You need to associate another email address to one of the devices. Read about it here.

After upgrading to lion, cant use TM

After upgrading to lion, I can't see any TM backups, and I do not have access to this external harddrive.
In the TM backup, I can see all backups, but cant activate or use them.
When I click to the external HD, an error message says: "The folder "" cannot be opend, because you do not have permission..."
I tried to solve problem as Apple given on website, but didnot help.
Thanks for help!

I had this same problem after I copied my TM backups from a 500GB TC to a larger external USB drive.
After some work, I finally was able to get the backups from the old TC to show up (in pink) on the new external drive, but still was unable to select/use the backups in pink.
After readings lots of the pondini posts, I saw some things that seem to get me access to the pink timeline items.
First, I read this post. At the beginning of it, it read...
Time Machine keeps the backups for each Mac separate, and normally only shows the ones for the Mac it's running on, even if there are other Macs' backups on the same disk/partition.
Also, sometimes Time Machine will start a new "sequence" of backups, as if they were from a different Mac.
To see these "other" backups, you need the Browse Other Backup Disks or (Browse Other Time Machine Disks) option. It's available by Alt/Option-clicking the Time Machine icon in your Menubar, or by right-clicking the Time Machine icon in your Dock.
At the end of the post (scroll to the blue box at the bottom), this also gave me an strategy...
If you've moved from a network location to local, Time Machine will usually continue backing up to the sparse bundle. But when you
Enter Time Machine, it will be looking for local backups. You'll have to manually mount the sparse bundle by double-clicking it in the Finder before entering Time Machine, and may need the Browse ... option.
These ideas helped me, as I am now able to access the pink backups in the timeline.

After upgrading to Lion, wifi seems to be much slower, is this caused by lion?

Hello All,
After upgrading to Lion, my MMA wifi seems to work much slower than before, and also the start up seems to be slower too. Is that caused by upgrading to Lion? Please help

Give it a few days and a dozen or so restarts.
The software may be updating Spotlight indexing and a few other "housekeeping" tasks.
My upgrade on a 2010 Air resulted in a slowdown at first, but then began to return to normal. At first, the boot time doubled, but within a couple of days, it was back to a 12 second boot.

If I upgrade to Lion do I need to reinstall my third party software? Office, etc

If I upgrade to Lion do I need to reinstall my third party software? Office, etc

If you install Lion in place and are using versions supported in Lion, no. You should check with your third party software vendors to see whether upgrades are required to work with Lion. For example, since you mentioned Office, the 2008 and 2011 versions are compatible with Lion. The 2004 version is not. It is generally a good idea to upgrade your apps first, and then upgrade to Lion, as you may sometimes need the older version of the app to migrate data to the new version.
