Q: Problems With Lion (Found So Far).....

Since installing Lion I have erratic behavior on my MBP trackpad. After a couple of minutes the pointer goes crazy and Launchpad and Mission Control will open and close at random.

Here's a very odd one. During various searches for sound files I've discovered that although I have a Library in my main HD, the library in my Home Folder has disappeared. I'm right, there should be one there, shouldn't there?

In regards to the sleep issue, it seems that had fixed itself.

I'm thinking the reason my computer isn't going to sleep on occassion (regarding the Energy Save preferences) is not Lion related, but something else.

I know it's unrelated to this thread, but anyone know what to make of these "Stealth Mode" attempts in my Console?  I'm thinking that's why my computer didn't go to sleep this afternoon after I got back from working third shift at work.  I'm thinking whatever this is, it's keeping my computer from being able to sleep since it keeps attempting to get in through my Firewall.

I know that one of the IP addresses mentioned here is another computer in my home, which I think suggests a virus or malware attempting to hack it's way in?

System Preferences>General>Show scroll bars?

You can choose to not have them displayed depending on your input device (track pad, Magic Mouse, USB mouse, etc.), you can choose to only have them display when you're scrolling (for a cleaner look that simulates the feel of iOS), you can choose to have them display all the time.  Mine display all the time anyways since I have a USB mouse.

One odd thing that's taken place: my MacBook will go to sleep when I close the lid, now.  That's magically fixed itself, it seems.  However, it will only do this IF I do not have the secondary display attached (regardless of whether or not the TV is off, the MacBook is in extended desktop mode when the display is attached).

The port numbers at the end of some of the sender addresses are:

53 - Domain Name System (probably from your router seeing if you are through with your IP address)

80 - Hypertext Transfer Protocol

139 - NetBIOS Session Service

These are from the Wikipedia page on List of TCP and UDP port numbers in case you want to look up more.

If its in "extended desktop mode" it will not sleep as that monitor (TV in your case) is still active (on or off). Turn on mirroring and both should go off.

At risk of repeating myself... That's A Feature, Not A Bug™.  Apple made that folder invisible deliberately. It's still there, it's just invisible. If you have a tool such as TinkerTool you can turn it, and all other invisible files and folders, visible quite easily. You can also access it via the 'Go/Go to folder' menu item in the Finder.The reason Apple has for making ~/Library invisible is that some users have done things to their Library folders which result in their machines being unbootable, and Support at Apple is sick of having to fix it, so Apple has solved the problem by making it a whole lot more difficult to play with it.

I upgraded to Lion on the first day and have only one issue that is affecting me:

- no control of volume from the dedicated keyboard keys

I have a 2010 13 inch MBP with 8 gigs of RAM and a 180 GB SSD.  Most of my apps work under Lion, and the ones that do not, I've removed because I don't use them anymore, or updated versions have been released.  In regards to gaming, StarCraft 2 works better than it did under Snow Leopard - the graphics seem to be much better and the game runs smoother with higher loads on the screen.  Team Fortress 2, although is an older game, runs just as well as it did under Snow Leopard. 

The new swipe features are something to get used to, but being an iPAD and iPhone user, its an easy transition.  All in all, its been a really smooth upgrade for me on my MBP.  Prior to the upgrade, I did the usual time machine backups, disk permission fixes, cleaning cache and what not. 

I have one question with regards to Lion and SSDs: the SSD I'm running (OCZ Vertex 2) does not show up with Trim enabled.  I hacked Snow Leopard to enable Trim, however, I was under the impression that Trim support was supposed to be in Lion.  Does Trim support need to be hacked again to enable it in Lion?

Front Row is actually dead.  Not implemented.

Hi all.

Yes, so far I think this is a "sick cat".

I "win".  Whenever I start up my iMac, once pass the Login Screen (if choose on) once I see the Desktop for a second, the mac shuts down!!
