Why does wifi takes longer with Lion than Snow Leopard?

My Macbook pro doesn't find my Airport nearly as quick with Lion as it did with Snow Leopard. Many times it will even jump over to another persons unlocked network even though my Airport is at the top of the preferred list of networks. It also shows a box saying that I am not connected even after I am connected, so then I have to click the box just to remove it. This is annoying as ****. Why is this happening? There weren't any similar problems when upgrading fron Leopard to Snow Leopard.

Most likely reason is a slow internet connection.
Test is at speedtest.net on a computer, you need 6 Mbps for instant HD.

Hi smilekick,
Are you using Windows or Mac? Are you on a managed network. If no Try signing out and signing in of CC desktop. If still the same issue remove CC desktop, run the cleaner tool: http://www.adobe.com/support/contact/cscleanertool.html and try installing again.
Create a new user account and check whether the same issue persists.

Is it possible to downgrade an iMac (model no. a1311) that originally shipped with Lion to Snow Leopard-?

Is it possible to downgrade an iMac (model no. a1311) that originally shipped with Lion to Snow Leopard…?

If you find Snow Leopard is really required, you may find getting a used or refurbished Mac that shipped new before July 20, 2011 is preferable*:

Why does it take longer to connect to my wifi network on Lion?

Since upgrading to Lion on my older MacBook Pro I've noticed that waking from sleep, it takes airport sometimes up to 10 or 15 seconds to find my wifi network. This never was the case with Leopord or Snow Leopard. Is this a known issue in Lion upgrades or is something wrong in my Network settings?

Hard to say definitively - nowhere near enough information, I'm afraid. One thing that I'm wondering is exactly what sort of drives you've put in the new machine. For instance, if you've put hybrid drives in it, then yes the stuff that gets used frequently (OS) may well load fast - but everything else will take significantly longer. Especially this would apply to large audio files. The other thing is .pk files. If you've turned those off, then large sessions will inevitably take longer to load (with Audition 3, at any rate) than they would have done otherwise. This situation appears to be a lot better with CS6 and CC, FWIW. But they have been completely rewritten, and designed to run on newer OS's, which Audition 3 simply isn't. Yes it will work fine - just won't be as effective in operation as the later software.

Why does it take longer to Save with Layers v. no Layers?

I've noticed that file save times go way up even with just 1 layer (plus Background) compared to saving with no layers. "Flat" PSDs save very fast, whether to my SSD boot drive, or to my spinny work drive.Is this normal? And can anyone tell me why?
My scratch disc is on my SSD boot drive. Windows 7 Ultimate fully updated. I have 30GB of RAM and my average file size (open) is around 400MB. I do have the compatibility turned on (otherwise Lightroom doesn't like it), and compression. I understand those will add more time. But why so much more than a "flat" PSD?

Thanks. I need to rephrase my subject line I guess...
Obviously, additional layers will take longer to save, because, like you said, each layers is like another image (sorta). HOWEVER, the save time seems to increase EXPONENTIALLY just by adding 1 layer.
Here's a specific example...
I'm working on a 7360 x 4912 image which Photoshop says is 206.9M. It takes less than 2 seconds to save the PSD.
I clicked Ctrl+J to copy the Background layer to a new layer. Now there's the Background layer, plus Layer 1, and now Photoshop tells me it's 206.9M/413.7M. Now it takes 34 seconds to save the PSD!
So it's not just double, it takes 17x longer!!! Why so much longer?

With track locking why does it take longer to --

1.) With track locking, why does it say so much longer to "Save As" and to create bakcup copies of songs?
2.) If after I lock tracks to improve performance can I unlock them for the purpose of faster "Save As" and copies?

I found from my experience that if one deletes the freeze files to save space but does not unlock the tracks GB will not search for the files upon opening but rather will recreate the locked tracks after you click "Play".
I just wanted to clarify that. I didn't want anyone to think GB will open a tune and then begin a search right away. It won't happen until you click play.
Heres my reasoning for leaving the tracks locked and deleting the freeze tracks and not unlocking them before hand.
If I leave the tracks locked and then delete the files I don't have to remember later which tracks I wanted locked and which ones I did not want locked. All I need to do is open the file and click play. Its actually more convenient. If you unlock the tracks first then delete the files you have to go back later and relock the ones you wanted. TO me thats a much easier way to remember things.
I agree with you whole heartily when it comes to "Save As Archive". Its the only way to save.
"Save" And "Save As" only creates a pointer to your files in and from the "Project Data" file. They do not add AIFF files taken from GB browser to the "Media" folder. Only a recorded instrument (vocal or instrument) or a file dropped into time line are saved in the media folder using "Save" or "Save As". Or in other words anything from "Outside" the GB browser.
MIDI instruments recorded into GB are not kept in the Media folder after a "Save" or Save As" or unfortunately "Save As Archive".
"Save as Archive" saves all the files you currently have in the GB timeline (except MIDI data) in the Media Folder. A nice, safe, sure way to know all your intended files will be there when you open your tune or burn it to a disc and return it in the future. This is why I always use it. It does of course make you .band file much larger.
Recently I have tested the .band files for operator usefulness and error to try to alleviate the somewhat unfounded fears placed upon opening the file with the "Show Package Contents" function.
Sure thing can go wrong if your careless when you open the .band file but its not as is clicking any of the audio file will hurt anything.
You can play many of these files saved under "Save as Archive" with the finder.
I have found that if you ACCIDENTLY toss out any AIFF files that were taken from the GB browser and placed into the timeline that this will not hinder your .band file from opening. GB will still open and play your file as it normally would and when you "Save As Archive " again those browser files will be replaced in the media folder. Even if you have looped them, cut them, shortened them.
If you ACCIDENTLY toss out a file added to the timeline or a recorded instrument or vocal then your in trouble because it is gone but the GB file will still open. GB will tell you it can't find the file and ask if you want to search for it.
Now if you Toss out your "Project FIle" then your screwed. The .band file will not open and the game is over.
Why do I even mention all this? Not to annoy anyone or go to battle over the subject but simply to mention that I have tested every scenario and that opening the .band file and clicking around will not harm a thing. Clicking around will not harm anything or damage your file. Just leave the "Project Data" file alone.

Why is searching so much slower in both Lion and Mountain Lion than Snow Leopard?

Hi, I use Snow Leopard run on several Mac Pros to perform multidimensional time-lapse-imaging in our lab. Snow Leopard provides instantaneous (seconds) searching for folders containing the image sequences I require for analysis (distributed across 4 x 2TB hard drives- images are saved under the structure Time\Position, and for analysis I need to retrieve all folders with the same Position label). Lion and Mountain Lion either fail to search or are painfully slow. For analysis I use internal hard drives connected as external volumes via USB and I suspect this might be part of the problem, however the same setup works flawlessly with Snow Leopard.
This problem is becoming very frustrating as I can’t figure out what has changed, or whether I am overlooking something obvious. I installed Lion on my MacBook Pro over 6 months ago which is when I discovered this problem and had to reinstall Snow Leopard. At that time I had hoped that the next OS might provide a better search function for our use, but after some testing it seems the same. To search through folders manually takes over 10 x as long as using a simple search in Snow Leopard. Can anyone provide me any advice as to what might be causing this problem and whether there might be a solution? I’ve tried a few free searching tools from the app store, but these do not perform any better than searching in Finder. I would obviously prefer to be able to invest in new Macs in the future which run the most current OS without having to install Snow Leopard on them all (if this is even possible without future models without causing compatibility problems).
Many thanks for reading and for any advice you can give me.

How does one update to Mountain Lion from Snow Leopard?

My friend has Snow Leopard and wants to up date to Mountain Lion, how is it possible for her?

See Here > Upgrade to Mountain Lion
Would Also Recommend that you do a Bootable Clone Backup of your current Hard Drive Before attempting any Major Upgrade...
By far the easiest way to make a Backup, is to use something like
SuperDuper http://www.shirt-pocket.com/
or CCC http://www.bombich.com/
That way, should anything untoward happen during the Upgrade...
You will NOT LOSE ANYTHING.
(Get an EHD that is at least equal to your current Drive...)
Also, Check here for compatibility of 3rd party Software you may be using...

Why does FlashPlayer not install in Mac OSX Snow Leopard?

I've downloaded FlashPlayer for Mac OS, and the entire install process is completed successfully. But I do not have FlashPlayer capability, and I cannot find FlashPlayer on my hard drive. I've downloaded all of the recent updates for Mac OSX Snow Leopard, have closed all programs, shut down and restarted--nothing works. After a supposedly "successful" installation, I don't have FlashPlayer. What's up?

ADE does not recognize Sony devices on the Mac. You'll need to use the Sony software instead.

Why does it take longer to download app on my MBA core i7 than it does my iPhone 3gs?

The app is over 700 Mbs but still. It takes about 20 to download a Cd from itunes too. Not happy!!!

This solution worked wonders for me. Maybe it wil work for you as well. Good luck!
Go to the network (System Preferences -> Network) and add a new network. Give it a name, then leave everything else standard. Click the APPLY button, quit the application and reboot your MBA.
That's it.
I have no idea why this works. It may be that the default network location is broken, but building a new one fixes it. Let me know if it works.
