Using notepad application with lion

how can I access and update my old notepad documents now that I have lion installed?

Could someone please help?
I have Lion installed and am using Pages for my resumé, but when I go to save it as a .doc file, the option "save as ... " isn't there any longer. It's replaced by Duplicate and Save a Version.
How do I get Pages to allow me to save my document as a .doc file?
Thank you.

Is it safe to use adobe flash with lion

Is it sfae to use adobe flash with lion on my macbook?

Note that fake Flash installers are a common way to sneak malware into your system, and there's one going around right now called Flashback. Because of this, never ever ever click a link like the one Kappy gave you! Now, Kappy is trustworthy... but it's still always the safest bet to go to the Adobe web site directly. Type "www.adobe.com" into your browser's address bar, then click the Downloads link on the Adobe site, rather than clicking a link that takes you anywhere else.

Windows 7.5 phone not recognized. Charges but no usb connection. USB works with HDD, Flash, 3G modem, Iphone, just no the Win 7.5 phone. Using 27" IMac with Lion.

When I connect windows Phone (HT7 using Windows Phone 7.5 (tried 2 phones) usb wont recognise it. Charges but no usb connection. USB works with HDD, Flash, 3G modem, Iphone, just no the Win 7.5 phone. Using 27" IMac with Lion.
I am running VMWare fusion when I connect any USB device Lion prompts to connect Windows or MAC. Both work for many devices. When I plug in the phone Lion simply does not respond.

Also.... my phone works and can do everything fine when not plugged in.. I just can't get my computer or others to recognize the darn thing when plugged in!

Tried my k3772-z modem to connect macbook air to internet and got the message: you can't use this application with this version of mac os x. Is there a setting that needs to be changed?

I can't help you with a direct answer. For third-party devices you should contact the vendor (Vodafone).
If you have an iPhone (or an Android phone with hot-spot capability) you can use that to connect to the Internet without paying for a separate cellular service.

"You cannot use this application with this version of OS X"

Hi,
I'm getting this message when I try to open .AVI files that I uploaded from my digital camera, but I'm posting it here instead of in the Quicktime section because I believe that the cause of the problem is more general. When researching this problem, I looked at the info panel for these .AVI files, and the app listed to open them was "Quicktime Player (default) (7.1.3)". But the actual version of Quicktime that I have installed is version 7.4. If I set the file's "Open With" app to be "Quicktime 7.4", it opens fine, but the "Open With" app reverts back to "Quicktime Player (default) (7.1.3)", making the problem come back. I've also noticed that if I right-click on other apps (a PDF file, for example), and choose "Open With" from the popup menu, that I see other versions of apps that no longer exist on my machine (Safari 2.0.4, for example). I think that files associated with these older app versions may be the cause of many of the "You cannot use this application with this version of OS X" issues that have been reported here. My question is where is this list of "installed" products maintained in OS X, and is there a way that I can edit it to remove those product versions that no longer exist on my system. In my particular instance, I'd like to remove "Quicktime 7.1.3" which should allow me to set the associated app for my .AVI files to be Quicktime 7.4 with no possibility of the association reverting to an earlier version that's not only incompatible with Leopard, but also not installed on my system.
Thanks,
Ken

When you associate a file with an application, are you then clicking the "Change All" button? You can rebuild the LaunchServices database. Evidently the location of the command and the database have changed slightly in Leopard from what they were in Tiger. See this thread for the updated instructions:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=5730491
Also, make sure you don't have the old applications archived somewhere. I've been astonished in the past at just how enterprising the system can be in finding some program squirreled away in an obscure backup folder and listing it as an option to open something.

Is there a way of using IE7 with Mountain Lion? There used to be this facility using Safari "Develop" with Lion, but this doesn't seem to work with ML

Is there a way of using IE7 with Mountain Lion? There used to be this facility using Safari "Develop" with Lion, but this doesn't seem to work with ML

Thank you for this, and to Caleb.
I've tried using Caleb's approach (which is the same as I used with Lion), but the programme doesn't respond now that I have installed Mountain Lion.
My problem is that I do not want to use IE7 but that a programme I need regular access to will only allow IE7 and I've been told by the developers that it is too expensive to upgrade this programme to allow it to be used by other browsers.
So, my puzzle remains the same. I could access IE7 and use the programme using Caleb's solution with Lion. I can't do the same with Mountain Lion. I do (I think!) understand your point about the programme requiring IE7 specifically, but if it worked on Lion, why isn't it working on Mountain Lion? Or was I just lucky before?
I'll try mende1's approach, though I doubt I'm technical enough to virtualise anything!
Thanks again. Any further thoughts welcome.

Adobe Activation error I bought a used CS2 application with serial numbers: it loads fine and works, but I cannot activate it and it will run out in 26 days. I bought it on ebat for 40 dollars. I am willing to pay a royalty fee. In 2006, or so, I bought a student version of CS2 at the College bookstore legally and registered it and it is still running on my 2002 eMac, but my Mac cannot communicate with my wireless printer I just got. So I looked for a copy of CS2 to put on my second hand IBM PC.

How do I use Windows Vista with Lion?

Hi - I wonder if you can help. I want to use a copy of Windows Vista I have through Bootcamp but have recently upgraded to OS X Lion.
I understand Snow Leopard supported Vista and if I had installed Vista prior to upgrading it would continue to work even though I was running Lion - however having upgraded to Lion I now cannot install Vista thtough Bootcamp as the Windows Support Software for Lion only supports Windows 7 (and I don't want to spend the money for that!).
So my question is - can I reinstall Snow Leopard, install Vista on a Bootcamp partition and then reinstall Lion without having to pay for it again? Will reinstalling Snow Leopard destroy the Lion recovery partition? Or can I simply go back into the App Store and redownload Lion from my account as I have paid for it already and not having the recovery partition therefore doesn't matter?
Your help would be greatly appreciated.

You can also keep Lion and Lion Recovery by installing it to an external drive.
OS X Lion Install to Different Drive
You may also see this message, with workaround:
Lion + Bootcamp: disk cannot be used
Before upgrading to Lion, making a bootable clone would help avoid some problems.
Boot Camp 4.0 drivers are Windows 7 only.
I don't see that you can't just partition with BCA 4.01 and not install, then get out Vista (again?) and use your 10.6 DVD. You can still use Boot Camp 3.0->3.2.

How to restore iCal using Time Machine with Lion OS

Just got off the phone with Apple Support. With Lion, your User/Library/Calendar file is now hidden. Here is how to find it in order to restore data to your iCal.
Close iCal
Open FINDER
Use “GO” button located across top
Hit and hold the OPTION key on your keyboard
You’ll see LIBRARY appear in the list (this is a hidden file you cannot see otherwise)
Select LIBRARY
Select CALENDAR
(you can see all the .calendar files under this item)
Open/Enter TIME MACHINE
Go to day/time you want to restore back to
Highlight the CALENDAR file (which can now be seen by virtue of your efforts above)
Select RESTORE from Time Machine
Open iCal to view the updated data.

Hello,
I've got a dumb question - I've tried this a number of times. You have given the clearest directions that I've read so far. However, after trying a number of different dates, it still will not populate. Most of my calendar entries were done with an iPhone, then synced via iCloud to laptop. Would that prevent them from being synced to the Time Machine? I'm at a loss (in more ways than one).
Either way, thanks for the help.

I use MB pro with Lion OSX 10.7.5 and Now I have bought MB Air with Mountain Lion,Can I transfer my MB Pro stuff running Lion to MB air running Mountain Lion or do I need to buy Mountain Lion for my Pro to create a backup and then transfer ,thnx

I use MB pro running Lion OSX 10.7.5 and Now I have bought MB Air with Mountain Lion,Can I transfer my MB Pro stuff running Lion to MB air running Mountain Lion or do I need to buy Mountain Lion for my Pro and create a backup and then transfer ,Although I want Mountain Lion for my MB Pro but can I use the one from MB Air,thnx?

Hello,
If you just do a normal time machine backup on your macbook pro and then plug that harddrive into your new air; you should be able to just use migration assistant to transfer all your files. You wouldnt need to upgrade to mountain lion on your macbook pro.
Hope it helps,

Using apple mac with Lion 10.7.5. I need to reload Snow Leopard to use a film edtiting program. Can I have the two programs on the mac?

I'm using an apple mac with lion 10.7.5 loaded. I need to load snow leopard to use a film editing program. Can I load snow leopard without removing Lion?
If so are there any problems doing it?

You need and external drive to make a clone of your current installation of OS X. Then you can use DIsk Utility (Apps/Utilities) to divide the internal drive into two partitions. Doing so will erase the drive, which is why you need the clone so you don't loose everything. Then copy the clone to one partition to restore everything and use a Snow DVD to install it on the 2nd partition.

How to use appleworks files with lion 10.7.4

Every now and then I need to access an old Appleworks file, and cannot. Is there a way of converting the files so that they can be used with other software thar runs with Lion 10.7?
Thanks.

Depends which type of file and how old.
AppleWorks 6: WP openable by Pages, SS openable by Numbers, PR openable by Keynote. DR openable by (some versions of) Eazy-Draw. DB and PT openable only by AppleWorks 6.
AppleWorks 5 and earlier: openable only by AppleWorks/ClarisWorks (same of newer version that the version creating the file).
More detailed answer here: Abandoning AppleWorks.

Can I use a trackball with Lion?

I have a physical disability. I use a trackball to navigate my Mac. I am very concerned about the Lion OS. Will I be able to use a trackball with it? I'm definitely not a fan of Apple's gesture system. I can barely mange to execute a one finger gesture (no humor intended), not to mention the 2 or 3 finger gestures. The whole scheme seems very disability unfriendly, and I'm very concerned because I am unable to use a trackpad.

I'm having the same problem with my trusty Macally Q Ball as those above have reported with their Kensingtons. It "works", but even though I reinstalled the latest driver, the configuration app says that the Q Ball is "not connected", and my configuration settings are ignored.
Since Lion has been available to developers for a year or so, it's doubtful that they'll fix it.
But, hey, this is a universal driver which works for a dozen products, and I see that some of them are still in production. I think I'll send them an email. If enough of us ask, they might fix it.

I'd like to use iPhoto '09 with Lion. Tried to install from time machine back-up no go. Tried to install from iLife '09 DVD no go.

I'd like to run iPhoto '09 on Lion. Tried to install on Lion from Time Machine backup. Got message iPhoto won't work because of a missing Library file. Tried to install iPhoto '09 from iLife '09 DVD. Got message that it cannot be installed on my system. iMovie runs previous versions and iTunes runs previous versions.
Why can't iPhoto run on Lion? My wife has over 10,000 photos in her library and she's taken the time to sort them into folders. I've recovered the library with the folder sort but have to use it on an external drive with a Snow Leopard system on it. The latest iPhoto ('11) has no provision for organizing into folders. I'd really like to have everything in one place with one OS (Lion) and two iPhoto apps '09 and '11 and I suppose 2 photo libraries. I've been trying to resolve this ever since iPhoto '11 came out and I installed it. I can't begin to tell you how difficult it is to answer the question " Where are my folders?" brian25

I tried to check the Library setup on iMovie and iTunes. The iMovie Libraries seem to be part of the applications and my iTunes applications have become Russian so I have another problem. I tried to install iPhoto '09 again from my iLife '09 disk. When I selected "Custom Install" to load iPhoto only, the box I got said " A later version of this application is already installed" The iPhoto item which I would choose for a custom install says "skip". Yesterday I ignored this and went on with an install. The final screen said "Installation Successful" There was no iPhoto '09 on my hard drive. As far as I can tell, you cannot load iPhoto '09 from a Time Machine backup. There is no Lion compatable iPhoto '09 in the App store, and iPhoto '09 will not install onto Lion from the iLife '09 disk.I don't understand exactly what you mean by "load my backup and convert again" Do you mean go to the app store and access my purchases and re- download iPhoto '11 and reinstall it and re-convert my iPhoto library? I suppose what I should have done originally was to duplicate my iPhoto '09 library and put it on an external drive for safekeeping. Who knew it wouldn't install on Lion from Time Machine? When I downloaded iPhoto '!! from the app store I should have duplicated it and saved a copy to an external hard drive for safekeeping and then proceeded with installing iPhoto '11 on my hard drive.I suppose when the Thunderbolt concept is fully realized and monster Thunderbolt external droves are in common use this will seem a lot easier. I have rebuilt my iPhoto '09 library and have it on a hard disk that has a bootable copy of Snow Leopard and a working copy of iPhoto '09 also. I think you are telling me to reinstall iPhoto '11 on my internal hard drive and reconvert the iPhoto library used by iPhoto '11. Right? brian25
