Why did Lion 10.7.3 mess up my magic mouse on my macbook pro 2011?
My mouse was working fine and as soon as I updated to 10.7.3 my magic mouse went wacky! Swipes don't work now. I will be move my mouse to the other side of the screen and it jumps all over the place. And randomly clicks on items when I havnt pushed the mouse buttons. I'm glad I still have the track pad on the macbook pro. But for video editing it just isn't easy to use like the mouse. I reeeeaaallly hope they fix this soon. Or if anyone out there knows how to fix it pleeeease share with me.
Im using a macbook pro with lion os x 10.7.3 and .... well I was using a magic mouse connected via blue tooth.. but its almost impossible now.
Thanks
I am having the same challenge, what I have found to be a temporary fix is to disconnet the magic mouse and the reconnect using the BlueTooth Preference in system preferences.
I am also am having connectivity issues with my Plantronic Voyager Pro and my Ecamm BT-1 all are inconsistant now and intermittent.
So far no one seems to have an answer. Maybe if someone from Apple is monitoring this forum, they can add some imput for us?

Why did Lion remove spotlight search from right click options?
Why did Lion remove spotlight search from right click options?
If by "contextual menu" you mean Right Clicking, then Yes, I now can highlight text (say a name in Address Book), right click it, and Spotlight searches for it.
There is a little triangle next to the word Searching in Sys Pref; make sure it's pointing down and opens the sub-choices below it, i.e. Look up in Dictionary, Search with Google, and Spotlight.
Let me know if this doesn't do it for you.
Good luck. -
Hello
I have a macbook pro 2011 13" that came with OS Lion (integrated not on a disk). I recently bought OS Mountain Lion of the app store and it is working fine. However I was a bit dissapointed in the battery so I decided to try and downgrade and completely failed, I froze the computer and when I restarted it it did not work. I went into recovery system and erased my disk and all that and went to re-download my OS. I was expecting to get the option to re-download Lion but instead I could only re-download Mountain Lion.
My question is since my computer originally came with Lion can I reset my computer so I get OS Lion back instead of OS Mountain Lion?
Thanks for any help. Any answer will be appreciated even if it is saying it is not possible.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.) 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 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.
Kappy, a pretty wonderful and very knowledgeable man, has tip for that which I have copied and pasted above -
Can anyone tell me why I can not connect my Blackberry or my iPhone to my new Macbook pro? I had no problem with my old Macbook.
What type of headphones were you using? I have a set of Microssft headsets, with the built-in mic and connected via USB, and have no problems.

I am a windows user that has converted to Mac and loving it but when I updated to Lion my wireless internet dongle would not work anymore and the Macbook Pro does not recognise the device at all so I am unable to reinstall it again. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
Go to Finder > Preferences then select the General tab
Make sure External disks is selected. -
I downloaded Mountain Lion onto my iMac. Now i want to upgrade my Macbook Pro (10.7.5) to Mountain Lion. Do i need to purchase another download?
One purchase is sufficient if both computers are owned by you and the ML version was purchased as an upgrade.

how do i reset my mac completely? I have parental controls and cant seem to get to time machine cause i bought the computer with parental controls on it and they did not have the password. How do i completely reset my macbook pro?
If you have a rescue email address (which is not the same thing as an alternate email address) on your account then the steps on this page will give you a reset link on your account : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT6170
If you don't have a rescue email address (you won't be able to add one until you can answer your questions) then you will need to contact Support in your country to get the questions reset.
Contacting Apple about account security : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699
When they've been reset (and if you don't already have a rescue email address) you can then use the steps on this page to add a rescue email address for potential future use : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5620
Or, if it's available in your country, you could change to 2-step verification : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5570 -
selling macbook Pro 2011. It came with Lion, I upgraded to mountain Lion and Mavericks. Can license be transfer to new owner? how?
Good question now that Mavericks is free to all.
It used to be - and is probably still the case - that to comply with the license you should erase and re-install the OS that came pre-installed on the Mac when new. If there were restore disks they needed to be passed on with the Mac.
I'm happy to be corrected on this by someone who's more au fait with the legalese, but an upgraded OS is tied to an AppleID whereas the original OS is tied to the computer, not an AppleID.
My guess is, that if you launched the Recovery HD, erased the drive using Disk Utility and re-installed the OS, Lion would be installed.
Be interesting to see what others say. -
I just got the new macbook pro about 2 weeks ago, it has lion. When the new mountain lion comes this summer, can i just update it on my macbook pro since it isn't so old? And if i can update it, do i have to pay, or is it a free update?
I'm in the same position, the store said they didn't know of any new release, so i bought my macbook pro to find out about mountain lion. I really hope that i'm not going to pay for the upgrade. New to apple, also last month bought my Ipad 3, really thought that Airplay would have been on my book pro, nope, waste of time.........need that update to use it. Back i the box then, get the windows 7 ultimate pro back out until then.

Cannot enter Root User / OS X Lion 10.7 / MacBook Pro (2011)
Hi all,
Pulling my hair out here; if any one can help I'll buy them a Corona or two.
Trying to enter Root User (in order to change the short username and home folder). Here's how it goes:
- New MacBook Pro (2011) / Lion installed
- Brother decided to play with it before I got home, set up a username etc
- I connected my iMac and MBP via an ethernet cable and Account Migrated all my stuff over to the MBP
- I deleted the account my brother setup for me
- Realised the 'Home' folder and short username was still that of my iMac (Joss iMac etc). Wanting to be factually correct looked into changing this via Root User
- Turned on Root User via Apple recommended way (Directory Utilities)
- Enter password
- Logged off as 'Joss iMac'
- Tried to logon as 'root', fails every time. All I get is the shake of the password box like the password is wrong.
I've tried pretty much all of the obvious sugeestions (i.e. renaming password, turning RU off and on again, reboot etc).
If any one can help, like I said, Corona's all round.
Thanks again,
JTgo to Systemsettings, Users & Groups and change "Show list of Users" to "Name and Password Box".
Root is not shown by default.
And if else fails you can boot into single user mode // do it via Unix terminal on the command line. -

Why can't I doubleside print in my macbook pro 2011 word program
why can't I doubleside print in my macbook pro 2011 word program
does anyone knowThe easiest way to produce double-sided publications is to print them on a printer that supports duplex printing. You can usually learn whether your printer supports duplex printing either by looking at the information that was included with the printer or by looking at the printer's properties. Some printers offer the option of automatically printing on both sides of a sheet of paper (automatic duplex printing). Other printers provide instructions so that you can manually reinsert pages to print the second side (manual duplex printing). Some printers do not offer duplex printing at all. If your printer doesn't offer automatic duplex printing, you can follow these steps to manually print on both sides of the paper. On the File menu, click Print. On the Printer pop-up menu, select the printer that you want. On the Copies & Pages pop-up menu, click Microsoft Word. Click Odd pages only. After the odd pages are printed, flip the stack of pages over, reinsert the stack into the printer, repeat steps 1 through 3, and then click Even pages only. Depending on the printer model, you might have to rotate and reorder the pages to print the other side of the stack
