Will OSX Lion remember my different display setups?

I have a projector that I plug into at work and then at home I have an external display. I set these monitors up differently (e.g. Projector is the second monitor and my external screen at home is set up as the primary monitor) Will I have to go to the settings and re-configure this every time that I swap between the monitor at home and the projector at work?
Thanks for your help.

The only active thing I see on that page is the banner near the top which keeps changing: "For the cat pictures", "For the poet", etc. Do you not see that? I did not see any link for "Home". Try these pages:

Incidentally, it seems to me that you are using Mountain LIon, not Lion. Mac OS 10.8 is Mountain Lion.

I'm no Lion expert, but I believe you can boot from the Recovery partition by pressing the Command and R keys on startup, then reinstall.

When will osx lion available in malaysia?

In order to please maxis,digi, and celcom Apple cant launch iphone 5 so soon. These companies still has a lot iphone 4 and 4S in stock, THEY FAILED TO SELL IPHONES THRU CONTRACT! Just imagine thailand and singapore has been selling iphone 5 and ipad mini for a while. I bet Apple will start selling Iphone 5 right from the store, right from the beginning for Malaysia market, no more thru telcos company!

I've reinstalled my MacBook Pro (OSX Lion) using a different apple ID, and now I can't install any iLife apps. In the app store it comes up with "Accept" and then tells me It can't accept from my user ID. How can I fix this or get iLife back?

Mostly explained in the title. My dad gave me his MacBook, and I went ahead and wiped all of his stuff by using the recovery partition to wipe/reinstall OSX Lion. In the setup I used a new apple ID and now I can't get iLife apps. I'm relatively new to how apple works its purchases, so I'm not sure what's up. Is it that my computer has a unique ID set to the first apple ID used on it, and if so, how can I get this reset to my ID? I'm planning to get an iPhone 5 soon so I'd like to be able to use photo stream with iPhoto and try out Guitar Band.
Any help is much appreciated.

QuickTime 10.1 does not seem to be compatible with OSX Lion - clicking on the displayed file window switches to another displayed app, doesn't play or control the video.

If I open a movie file (appears to be any type - .mov, m4v, mv4) it displays on the desktop, but when clicked, the Mac reverts to another open application (immediately UNDER to point of the mouse click) and not the displayed movie file. It appears the screen mapping is flawed...
Anyone else have this problem? (does not appear to be a problem with QT7) Running OSX Lion 10.7.3 and QT Player 10.1 (501.8) - all most current as far as I can tell...

Yes, same problem. The active clickable area appears to be shifted down and to the right as if it is the shadow mask (to make it look like layers in the display) that is responding. Means you can't move the control palette to the top of the window (to not block security video with time track at bottom) or even close the window. The X in the bubble appears when moused over but the click goes through it.
Most obvious if you open more than one movie at a time and they cascade. You can't get at the ones underneath until a few down the stack and it gets an upper wrong one.
Who's testing these things?
For comparison testing to recreate problem: Mac Pro (System Information has also been dumbed down from System Profiler, push System Report for the useful stuff) with an ATI Radeon HD 5770 driving two displays.
Also viewing desktop of another computer on the network is slower and, for instance in World of Warcraft, the hand pointer flickers.
And finder windows can't be narrowed as much any more to show only a list of file names for drag and drop sorting.
Was hoping that by 10.7.3, it would be safe to jump, since several posts told me how to Terminal > networksetup -setv6off Ethernet to fix iTunes streaming to expresses and other dumb bugs.

Will osx lion support imovie 06

If I buy a new imac with osx lion will I be able to move imovie 06 from my 2007 intel imac running Tiger onto the new machine?

Just for reference this is a thread discussing the same topic.
iMovie HD and Lion?
What they point out is if you bought 'plug-ins' that run under HD 6, it's highly likely they are PowerPC based and will not run under Lion. The plug-ins are the problem some folks are seeing, especially ones they paid for originally to add functions to HD 6.

Why doesn't mountain lion remember my external display settings?

I'm a teacher. I have a 13" early 2011 MBP with mountain lion (10.8.1, clean install on new SSD). I have external monitors in my office and at home. I want them to be the primary when plugged in (with the menubar/dock, and the MBP LCD on the left as the secondary display). When I'm in classrooms, I want the projectors I connect to to be the secondary display (with the MBP LCD on the right as the primary with menubar and dock). Snow leopard remembered all of this for each display. Mountain lion doesn't. Projectors almost always come up mirrored even if I've connected to them before and reset it.
To make matters worse, the displays menubar option is gone in Mountain Lion. Argh........
Ideas?

Ok, I think I found a solution. I disabled the new clamshell mode behavior by using
sudo nvram boot-args="iog=0x0" and rebooting, make it work like snow leopard. Since, it seems to be remembering my 3 displays (classroom projector as secondary on the left, office monitor as primary on the right, and home monitor as primary on the right). The downside is if you connect everything with the lid closed and get only one display, opening the lid does nothing and there is no easy "Detect Displays". Maybe I can write an applescript to easily detect displays.

Will osx lion support imovie hd6

I already have imovie hd 6 installed on my computer. Will my imovie hd 6 be affected or erased when I upgrade to osx lion?

iMovie 06 and iDVD 11 work fine with Lion. However, be sure you back up everything on a separate hard drive just in case.
I used iMovie 06 several times with Lion with no difficulty. However, I have since switched back to Snow Leopard for reasons unrelated to iMovie 06.

Syncing a pair of OSX Lion Servers in different locations

Hi Folks,
I have 8+ TB of data sitting on various hard drives (yes I know its nuts). I want to purchase a pair of Mac Mini Lion Servers with the Promise Pegasus 12TB (6x2TB) R6 RAID Systems on each and load all of the data on both of them and then put them in differnet locations and have them sync/backup the files between them via the internet.
Are there provisions in Lion Server that will let you sync/backup the files between two Lion Servers automatically?
Thanks!
Mike Pappas

I hope you plan to do the initial sync locally
There is no official Apple provided approach to do this, but there are various ideas you could consider. Firstly you are going to need to organise some means for the two servers to be able to communicate with each other over the Internet. A site-to-site hardware based VPN providing a permenant connection would be the easiest and most reliable.
Secondly, you will need to use some software on each server. A common tool for syncing two computer volumes is Rsync see http://developer.apple.com/library/mac/#documentation/Darwin/Reference/ManPages/ man1/rsync.1.html
Many Mac backup utilities have a similar capability to backup to a remote host. Some use their own protocol for doing this e.g. Retrospect, some use standard FTP, some rely on you first logging in to the remote file server so it is available on your desktop.
Another different approach you could consider would be to use a pair of NetGear ReadyNAS boxes. These are self-contained 'servers' although not ideal for use for Mac OS X network home directories. NetGear provide an add-on service to synchronise two (or more) ReadyNAS boxes. See http://www.netgear.co.uk/business/products/software/readyNAS-replicate/default.a spx this also does all the hardwork of letting both ReadyNAS boxes find each other without having to setup a VPN system.

OSX Lion running, but video display frozen. Safe mode hangs

When I started my Mac Pro (early 2008) this A.M. the video display froze (pin wheel stopped spinning), but OSX booted successfully (I could access shared drives from another computer on the network). I also noted a small black rectangle at the top left of the screen. I tried booting into safe mode, but it hung at about the 25% point as shown on the progress bar. The pinwheel was still spinning however. Power cycled the computer, but the results were the same. Did all of the above several times with the same results. I booted to a known good Super Duper clone, but it also failed. I'm guessing the video card has failed, but no way to verify this. Anything else I can try?

Referring again to the article, only Macs that shipped with 10.7 can run the AHT from the Internet. A 2008 Mac Pro would have shipped with 10.5. If you have a 10.4 disc, it came with an older Mac and won't work. If you can't find the Applications disc that came with the MP, then you can't run the AHT.
In that case, I suggest you try booting from the recovery partition. If you can do that, run Disk Utility, repair the startup volume, and reinstall Lion. Probably this won't help, but you will then have ruled out everything except a hardware failure, which is what I think you have.

Will OSX Lion be compatible with hybrid disk drives?

I woud like to know if the new OSX will have support for hybrid disk drives. The drives that have a medium/small SSD disk and a bigger HDD disk. From what i've hear, for now OSX snow leopard is not compatible because it start to give errors of low disk space on the SSD part, since that is the main disk and have small volume.

There is no support for hybrid drives (although, the Momentus XT is the only one I know of). The OS sees the drive as a standard hard drive. Many people are using this drive with Snow Leopard without issue. The operating system cannot see the SSD portion of the drive as such. The hardware within the drive determines what gets stored on the SSD portion. I have not heard of any low disk space errors consistent with your comment.

Will OSX Lion still support FCP Studio?

With the disaster that FCP X is turning out to be, is there any indication as to whether or not any versions of FCP Studio will still work with OS X Lion? I have a sneaking suspicion that it will not, considering the approach Apple has taken with the FCP X release, but I haven't heard anything definitive yet. I'm hoping Apple will come out with some kind of statement regarding FCP X soon, because the way this release has been handled is absolutely bizzare. If there is no intention of continuing to support the professional community, just say so, and everyone can move on to something else.

It was an upgrade. Lion installs itself through an installer app (not rebooting from a disc), and the only apparent option is to do an upgrade from Snow Leopard.
(Coming from the Linux world, and Windows before that, I used to write off OS upgrades - they almost always produced terrible results. Clean installs were the way to go. But I've been amazed at how well things seem to run after upgrades from Leopard to Snow Leopard and now Snow Leopard to Lion.)
That isn't to say there many not be an option to do a clean install of Lion...if there is, I'll do that when it goes public. But things have run fine having installed it as an upgrade.
That being said, sometimes FCP X is laggier than I would expect on my 2011 13" MBP with a 2.7GHz Core i7...maybe because the graphics are integrated...but I'm hoping it runs better once Lion becomes public and FCPX is optimized for it.

My wordpress home page will not display any active information in Firefox 15 on Mac OSX Lion.

Hey All,
I've tried many things to resolve this issue, but none of them seem to be working. For some time now I have not been able to see the homepage of wordpress.com with full information i.e. stats, notifications, etc. I'm running Firefox 15 on Mac OSX Lion with the following settings and add-ons. I've tried disabling the various privacy add-ons one-by-one to no avail. Please help!

If I remember right there "may" be a problem if you have a proxie settings enabled.
System Preferences/ Network/ Advanced/ Proxies. Can't remember which one or if it was an issue in 10.7 or 10.6. Just make sure their all unchecked and try again.
You might try a search in these forums for more information. Different fix's for different issue's.
Sorry I can't help more.........
