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

Nope

using late 2009 24" iMac here. 2.8G C2D with 4GB RAM.

found that the animation of minimizing / maximizing window is slow.

terribly slow when open / close the launchpad.

my Mac is extremly fast when in SL.

Lion upgrade from a clean SL install.

anyone knows why?

I am running a 13" nearly brand new MacBook Pro with the i5 processor, 4 GB RAM, and integrated Intel graphics card (rest of the specs can be found on Apple's website).

Issues with Lion so far:

1) My display will sleep, but not the computer, unless I do it manually.  I did post system/ Console logs in the thread that Steverose798 linked to in his original post to confirm this fact.

2) Secondary display issues

I have a 24" LG HD TV I use as a secondary display.  It's great for Netflix, gaming, etc.  It's hooked up for HDMI cable through the Moshi adapter.  Regardless of whether or not my secondary display is hooked up, on or off, my MacBook's display should look like this:

Notice that "Mirror displays" is not checked.

Secondary display should look like this when not mirrored:

Now, in theory, when I check the box to "Mirror displays", the secondary display should change from the Captain America background to the Thetis Moon background from Digitalblasphemy.com.  Instead, the MacBook's diplsay is changing to mirror the secondary display, instead of the secondary display mirroring the MacBook's original display (as seen below).  In order to keep the Thetis Moon background, I have to either change the background while mirrored (which means that both displays are Thetis Moon) or uncheck the "Mirror displays" box (which I can do regardless of whether or not the display is on or off; as long as it's hooked up, this is an issue; if I unplug the display from the MacBook, then my display reverts to normal).

3)  I was having an OpenGL issue with a game I play (League of Legends), but that seems to have magically resolved itself.

4) Battery life has been somewhat reduced, but not to the proportions that some users are reporting.  I do also notice that the computer is running warmer and the fan runs a little more often than it did before with Snow Leopard.  Admitedly, I am running a function with Lion that I was not running with SL- FileVault.  So, it's possible that both of these issues might be related to the constant encryption process?  I'm going to test turning FileVault off and see if that helps or not, and post back later when I get back from work.

None of these issues are like crazy, makes my computer useless like Vista did, but they are frustrating, as it should follow the model of iOS- "It just works."  Thanks for getting on this stuff, Apple, and I look forward to a patch very soon.

Not sure if this is Lion or me just being a dough head from working third shift, but it seems my Energy Saver preferences were set so that the computer didn't go to sleep when it plugged in (I came back before going to work and noticed that my computer went to sleep- I had unplugged it before getting ready for work to test the battery life, again).  So, I'll report more on that later.

I say I don't know if this is Lion or not, because I could have sworn I had changed it so it went to sleep after 15 minutes.  So, I'll try again and report more after I get back from work.

I'm still not seeing many people with my problem: Lion is eating hard drive space. It's doing it on two machines and I can watch it by getting ino on the hard drive.

Has anyone else noticed this? Apple Store has no answers except to go back to SL.

If you go to the thread that Steverose linked in his original post, look at what I posted regarding the Console logs.  I noticed some odd lines about having negative space available (which I thought was very odd).  Activity Monitor says I have tons free, though.  Does your Console log look like anything similar to mine?

My computer runs with problems since upgrading to Lion... so dissapointed!! :-(  Keeps freezing repeatedly when playing videos on line after the computer has been on sleep mode and (randomly) on ocassion.  Updated my desktop image and now I can no longer access iphoto to change it (??).  New to macs (have had mine for less tan two weeks and as a PC convert and I am so disheartened).    Can I get a refund and revert back to Snow Leopard so my computer runs properly?  So frustrating for me (but not near as much as it must be for apple... what a fiasco)

One other thing to add to problem #1:

This is what Console reports when I close the lid and the computer is not plugged in:

So, it went to sleep!  YAY!!!  Lid closed problem solved, right?

WRONG!!!

Plugged it back in to test (lidopen is when I opened it up, and then plugged it back in after typing in my password), closed the lid, and sure enough after waiting 2 minutes, it still hadn't gone to sleep....

That last line is when I opened the lid back up. I believe that line is what explains the fact that I keep having to move my mouse way over off from the "extended desktop" (even though the secondary display is off!!)- I think that's indicating the position of the mouse cursor on the "secondary screen" (I put it in quotes, since the TV is hooked up, but off).

I am very happy before I installed Lion.

Once Installed, my basic application to Merge PDF files is not possible.

In Preview PDF, there is no more Sidebars. Hence cannot merge PDF Files.

This is my basic application of my Mac Book.

Have to uninstall Lion, out it in cage!?

Cheers

An interesting tid bit to note regarding my display issue with problem #2- this taken from About this Mac- More info- System Report- Graphics/ Displays (notice- it says, "Display not connected", yet I can still check or uncheck the "Mirror displays" option and recreate the mirror displays error):

Yeah my console is filled with stuff but is there something specific I should be looking for? I've just lost another Gig in the last hour.

I'm commenting as nobody seems to have the same issue.  I just got the new MacBook Air 13".  Everything is fine for me with Lion except when I try to play games (Steam and the Sims 3) I have major graphics issues.

One of the games that doesn't work at all is the Sims 3, which is bizarre because it works on MacBook Pros with the same specs, and it works for a lot of people running Lion with minor issues (most of those people with issues seem to be using the NVIDIA cards.)

My specs are:

Processor  1.7 GHz Intel Core i5

Memory  4 GB 1333 MHz DDR3

Graphics  Intel HD Graphics 3000 384 MB

As I said, people with the same specs not running Lion have no problems, and people with MBPs running Lion seem to have mixed results.  Is this a video driver issue?  This is all way beyond my flimsy expertise.

(Oh and, inb4 anyone lectures me about the MBA being a poor gaming computer, I didn't buy this laptop for gaming, hahah.  I just like to do a little on the side)

Splinds- check with NVIDIA to see if they have a driver's update for Lion.  I think I remember seeing a forum on League of Legends of a similar OpenGL issue with NVIDIA cards that was fixed via a driver update.

I have problems with it also.  It is constantly freezing when using safari.  Any suggestions or ideas?
