When will Apple fix OS X Lion or are there known fixes?

Can somebody please tell me what the process of bug fixing is with apple for its operating systems?
I was very happy with my upgrade to MAC OS X Lion, but after 6 weeks of using it I really hate it. I used to be an apple enthusiast telling everybody to buy a mac, get rid of windows pcs and experience the speed and intface. Now I am disappointed and frustrated!
I have my hardware checked by a Premium Reseller as it is still in warranty, but no anomalies found. Seems to be OK.
Now on 10.7.1
Macbook Pro 15in - 2,66Ghz i7 - 4GB
Beach balls and freezes for the following applications and situations:
- Safari
- Mail
- Calendar
- Microsoft Word 2011
- Microsoft Excel 2011
- Aperture 3
- Loss of Wifi connection
- logging on takes minutes
- Wake from sleep mode takes ages
- No connection for timemachine to my NAS anymore
Does anyone in this community know fixes to try?
Otherwise, APPLE SUPPORT: WAKE UP AND HURRY UP!!!!
Thanks for your contributions

You are not talking to Apple Engineers here,  you are talking with other Mac users who like to help other Mac users.  For help on specific problems post the specifics. 
It seems as though you are having system wide problems and would recommend a clean OS Lion install.
Feed back to Apple for Lion here.

  • When will Apple fix the "Show my caller ID" glitch that effects service reception? IOS7 has done nothing if not made it worse

    I have downloaded IOS7 specifically to try and solve this annoying glitch that disables the "Show my caller ID" and effects my service reception, I know it effects it as when I have no service I can guarantee that the "show my caller ID" selection is disabled, when I turn it on miraculously I have service once again.
    Such a stupid little problem that surely is easily rectified.
    When will Apple fix this????

    Thanks for that but unfortunately been there, got the T-shirt, they replaced the phone with a new one, and still happens. I believe from what I have read, it's a software glitch that quite a few people have had problems with.

  • In mountain lion, my avchd folders are QuickTime files. Why and when will Apple fix this?

    I recently noticed that in mountain lion, when I insert the such card from my camera, the avchd folders that used to exist in previous operating systems are now QuickTime files.  If I wish to see what I could see in previous operating systems by simply selecting the folder, I now have to bring up the context menu and choose to show package contents.  This should not be this way and it really gets old fast when you need to go down several levels.
    Is Apple aware of this?   Did Apple do this ridiculous thing on purpose?  Will Apple fix this?

    Such = SDHC
    Sorry, Apple thought it knew better than I what I wanted to type.

  • When will Apple fix Lion OS X v10.7 from freezing after my 27" Mac is put to sleep? I must admit that I am amazed that Apple would release an OS that has this problem, for that matter any serious problem.

    When will Apple come up with a fix for Lion OSX v10.7 from freezing after Lion is put to sleep?  My 27"Mac freezes after being put to sleep and a hrad boot is required to be able to use the system.  I have complained to the local Apples store numerous times. The Genious Bar re-installed the OS and it crashed the very next day and continues to crash two or three times per week.  I am amazed that Apples would relase a product, any product before it has been proven to be solid, then again, look at the release of the newest IPhone 4-S.

    So do you have a question about how to fix your system?
    The question/problem is "My 27"Mac freezes after being put to sleep."
    Gabor, I can't help, except to report that I, too, experience very frequent unexplained crashes and freezes in Lion. However (so far) not when I put it to sleep.
    There are a lot of reports about freezes. Here's one. Maybe you should join that thread. Someone there is also reporting that "Lion has a bug that freezes the system when waking the system from sleep."
    Are you getting freezes/crashes at other times or only when sleeping the computer?
    And does it successfully go to sleep?
    Does it freeze when you wake it, or at the point where you're putting it to sleep?

  • When will Apple fix ITunes to work with Windows 7 (64)?

    After many attempts, iTunes (10.5.1) can not synchronized with iPod . If I import musics or create a personal folder, all info will disappear after I close and re-open later iTunes. However works perfectly under Windows XP.  It looks like an incompatibility problem between these two... When will Apple stop denying this and fix the problem?  Two other friends have Windows 7 and they experience the same problem! All programs (iTunes, QuickTime and Bonjour were uninstalled and all folders removed from the computer. Even regestries were cleaned up!....Re-installed twice but iTunes still not function normally as far as synch features.

    I don't know about iPod, but I'm running Windows 7 Home Premium x64 and other than a current problem accessing the iTunes store, it seems to work OK. I can sync my iPhone fine. Do you have a conflict with another software package you are running, like an anti-virus or firewall? It might not be, but in troubleshooting sync problems with my PC and iPhone previously, I found that I had a conflict with a firewall. The firewall has since been updated and is behaving nicely with iTunes now, but they can sometimes be a problem. Anyways, I hope this helps, but thought I'd mention that my Win7 x64 and iTunes 10.5.1 seems to sync OK in case it helps you to look for other causes to the problem.

  • When will Apple fix the iTunes update msvcr80.dll issue?

    Just for the records, my Windows iTunes has become unusable, too. The buggy update 11.4.1 ist still offered to my other windows installations. At least, it should be immediately pulled back.
    When will Apple deliever an automated bugfix to this update-mess? I do not intend to de-install and reinstall all my Apple-programs on my Windows machine (in fact, I don't use iTunes on Windows  anymore, my Macs run flawless and there I have the actual database). Apple: you broke it. You fix it.
    So far, no official Apple statement to this problem?  (Monday, 27.1. 2014 10:15 MET)
    It is getting time...
    Greetings

    Search the forums for similar issues and I feel quite certain you will find a resolution.

    These are user to user support forums.  There is no logical reason to expect a response from Apple here.  Frankly Apple rarely releases statements, only software updates.

  • When will apple fix the icloud photostreaming?

    1) I want to be able to delete individual files. Why wouldn't they allow pictures from the cloud to be deleted?
    2) I want to be able to reset my photostreaming, currently iCloud services are busted, since Apple failed to plan to have enough servers for their new iPhone release.  When is Apple going to fix the iCloud issue?  
    Here's the problem that I am currently having.

    my photostram only works on the iOSdevice but stopped refrehsing in Aperture. ( worked before ).
    Now I have 40 new pictures in photostream that I want in Aperture, but they never show up.
    Another failing feature of iCloud.
    Yesterday iwork on iOS deleted my pages and numbers files instead of syncing them.
    I tink about stop using icloud.

  • When will Apple fix CS5 issues?

    So... my newly acquired CS5 set-up (Macbook Pro mid-2009, 8GB RAM) has been crashing like a hijacked plane ever since Apple gave us the wonderful 10.6.4 update.  Adobe even have a support document to this effect: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/854/cpsid_85423.html
    Which is basically a giant shrug of the shoulders.
    Now, is it just me or is this one giant joke that such an expensive combination of software and hardware would be completely unusable?

    posting your video card info would be helpful -- there are some known issues with certain cards that are causing these problems
    i recall it is the nvidia cards that have the problem i am referring to
    apple is aware of the problem

  • When will Apple fix the Sonos compatibility issue?

    How soon should we expect Apple to work with Sonos to fix the compatibililty issue with Lion?  I am a Sonos fan for the same reason I am a Apple fan, their stuff works and is simple.  I would like to upgrade to Lion but read that the Lion release does "not support sharing drives formatted as FAT32" which apparently Sonos uses.  Does this sound like a simple fix or a long term problem?

    Appreciate the direction to check with Sonos.  I looked again at their website and Sonos asserts they believed they had a working software update that would work with Lion during their testing, and while they had a few bugs they were working through prior to the Lion launch, the one issue they have yet to find a work around for is Lion's inability to share music files.  Is there an underlying technology reason that would cause Apple to block access to music files? 
    I am fearful that I will be caught in the middle and have to choose between upgrading to Lion or abandoning my Sonos equipment.  I hope this doesn't become an issue like the Adobe Flash vs Apple issue.  I imagine most Sonos equipment owners did not purchase with plans of buying replacement gear every 4 to 6 years, unlike the mindset when purchasing computers where we expect to have to replace in 6 years or less.
    Hoping for responses that may help Sonos equipment owners to gain insight into the underlying cause of the problem, and whether we should expect a SIMPLE solution soon. 
    Thanks in advance to the many Apple experts for responses.

  • HT6162 7.1: When will Apple fix Music/playlist sync? It's been 7 months since IOS 7 came out

    This is a common problem that has been plaguing IOS 7 years from the getgo. When you sync via cable with itunes, my iphone deletes songs I want, adds songs I don't want and makes the newly added songs undeletable. I know all of the hackish "fixes" to this problem but I was really hoping apple would cleanly fix the bugs that are occurring here given this new big update. It doesn't look like this has not happened. I'm writing the community here to see if they are also having the same music problems occuring after 7.1. Hopefully some apple employees will see this as well.

    I've had this problem since I got IOS 7 and it drives me crazy. I kept asking friends online if they had the same problem and nobody did.. Then I found several threads online where people were talking about this issue and offering fixes. I tried many fix attempst to no avail, and then I just gave up. Some people are saying that Apple knows about this problem and may be waiting for IOS 8 to release a fix with is total BS. Why would we have to wait that long to fix such an important issue?
    I miss the time when I could listen to my music playlists on my phone. Those were the days...

  • When will apple fix ios8.02 problems?

    My iPhone 5s Bluetooth does not work with my bmw. Auto dealer told me several clients with iPhones have same problem.  Firmware for connecting to verizon cell towers flawed causing callers to hear 4-5 rings before my phone rings one time.  This is what verizon told me.  My iPad Air screen rotation no longer works properly. Programs don't rotate all the time.   Screen sensitivity touch seems off.  Several web sites don't respond when I touch links to connect.  Apple prides itself as being customer oriented and different then other firms.  They need to communicate when an update will be released to fix all the iOS 8.02 problems.  They owe this to their loyal customers or risk a backlash

    this is a user helping user forum I have no idea what apples plans are
    as you would likely imagine these forums has a lot of questions where users explain to eachother
    how to perform their tasks and the likes
    this makes this one of the worst places in the world to write if you expect apple to read your question with all the noise created by the support users between
    if you wish to complain or contact apple you can use the feedback channel or some of the other ways in contact apple in the bottom of the browser page
    feedback is this way

  • When will Apple Fix this 3.1 problem???

    I've got all the same issues with the 3.1 as most do, "failed" calls, battery life, etc. Phone was just fine before 3.1 update... This is just terrible, as I make a living with the phone...I've called apple and went through all the fixes that didn't work... What now?

    While talking on the phone, the conversation dies for a period of a couple seconds every 45 seconds or so despite having full bars... The frequency of that type of blackout increases until finally the call "fails" after about 15 minutes. After the first fail, it will fail more frequently following that until I restart the phone... Always with full bars and in areas I've never had that happen. Happens on 8 of 10 phone calls or so. Prior to 3.1 update, I believe I've only had 1 failed call since feb 09 when I got the phone... may be two... I've had dozens and dozens since update last thursday.
    Battery life must be 50% of what it used to be a week ago. Talk time in particular has gone down the drain:(
    Voicemail box no longer works right. I delete on the iphone, but it won't delete in the "real" mail box, so my mail box is filling up despite visual VM being empty.
    Those are the big issues...
    I called apple twice. Per apple recommendation, I did a "restore" function on the phone through itunes (from an Imac). Have also synced several times since. Problems not resolved. Reboot phone multiple times. Another "restore" through itunes per apple tech. Call ATT, they had me reset network settings and changed a couple things. They looked for a tethering patch under profile that they said caused a lot of problems with 3.1. I didn't have that patch so there was nothing to remove... After ATT changes, problems still present...
    I'm open to ideas and I'm certainly no pro with the iphone... Wish I could get 3.0 back that's for sure...
    Thanks!

  • When will apple fix the bending problem with iPhone 6 and 6 ?

    Does anybody know when new batches of the iphone 6 and 6 plus ,without the bending problem (bendgate), will be released ? I wanted to buy the iphone 6 but id rather wait till they fix the bending problem.

    I would like to calmly and rationally talk for a moment. On the internet and with people so invested in a company's products that can be hard to do. I find it very irritating reading people saying it is a hoax while I'm sitting here with a bent plus myself. First off, most people don't take major mainstream news companies seriously anymore. So CNNMoney isn't where anyone needs to be researching. However there are multiple other people who demonstrate this problem. So check YouTube and remember you'll find what you search for. So, if you search for iPhone 6 plus doesn't bend you'll find videos of people trying to prove it doesn't bend. It is getting ridiculous, XBOX VS PLAYSTATION, Creationists vs Evolutionists, iPhone vs Android. Seriously, I have a friend with an HTC One M8 and another friend who just got the regular iPhone 6. I told the guys about the reasoning behind the bend. "All aluminum bodied phones do it" my iPhone friends says yep that's true and my HTC friend comes over and asks me to bend his phone. I said no at first because i was afraid i might actually break it... He never put a case on his phone btw... He talked me into it and I couldn't bend it at my full force i barely saw it arch. After much more research I found out why that might be. THE ONE THING APPLE KEEPS PUTTING OFF. The screen on high end Android devices is Gorilla glass very hard to break and hard to bend. Maybe it is time I go back to Android. Logically they have better phones when you don't think about if its Apple or Android. Well I am sure I will get hate messages and grammer corrections and really intelligent comebacks but I don't care honestly.

    Prove you have a bent Plus.  Post a picture, but be advised, I work for a technology company and if you post a picture of a bent phone that can be easily found through Google, I'll report you.
