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

Let's just wait for some other updates from apple about lion osx... Keep in mind that Lion have just came out only bout one month, so let's just bear with these bugs for a while...

Sure we will Bipedias ;-)

I guess I was expecting Apple to process a wider bugfixing before releasing Lion, especially with some functions so thightly embedded in the OS, such as PDF preview.

Everyday we trap dozens of those bad guys in Adobe prerelease program...so I know once found the bug, the solution is there.

In trust :-D

My main problem with Lion is that when Preferences->General->Restore windows when quitting and re-opening apps is not checked, Finder windows and Terminal windows from the previous session still reappear when those apps are opened after restart or re-login.

See this thread for more details about how this problem seems to be unfixable under Lion: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3241843?tstart=0

I can't open PDF files at all after upgrading my Macbook to Lion !

This bug is really annoying...I tried anything to fix it:

deleting Preview.plist

manually reinstalling Preview.app

 

NO-WAY*

Hope a bugfix release comes asap...in the meantime http://skim-app.sourceforge.net/

 

Or if any of you have more wiz to try...please let me know :-)

 

have a nice day everybody !

That is not normal behavior. PDF files open normally in almost all Lion installations. If you can't open PDFs, there's a problem. You might try reinstalling Lion.

OK, update from me too. I now have a basically operational iMac running Lion.

Problem was a bizarre one in the end. I had reached a situation where almost all third party apps would work, but all of the Apple apps in my Apps folder crashed or gave error messages. The list included System Profiler, which gave me an error message when I opened it from the Utilities folder inside the Apps folder. The error message said I had a version for OS 10.6

The point is, as Apple Support eventually twigged, there is no System Profiler app in Lion! It has been replaced with a utility called System Information, though confusingly this keeps the same icon. Upon delving into my folders and files, we found that Lion appeared to have installed a new, updated Applications folder, but had not put this on the Dock. The old one, containing pre-Lion software, was still on the dock.

Rebuilding the dock, deleting the former dock preferences, and relacing the Appls folder with the new one appears to have solved everything. Apple Support had no explanation for why or how this had happened, though.

I have now gone many hours without a crash. The Lion installation process does seem to be doing some very strange things.

If I enter the following command in the Terminal

launchctl unload -w /Library/LaunchDaemons/com.citrix.agadminservice.plist

I get the funky message, shown below. What does this mean?

unload: illegal option -- /

unload: illegal option -- L

unload: illegal option -- i

unload: illegal option -- b

unload: illegal option -- r

unload: illegal option -- a

unload: illegal option -- r

unload: illegal option -- y

unload: illegal option -- /

unload: illegal option -- L

unload: illegal option -- a

unload: illegal option -- u

unload: illegal option -- n

unload: illegal option -- c

unload: illegal option -- h

It looks as though you're trying to kill the VPN, correct?

One error is that you didn't sudo first. The command should be of the format

sudo launchctl load -w /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/finger.plist

another error seems to be that the command line is not interpreting your path string. You need to have spaces between the 'launchctl', the 'unload', the '-w', and the string. You also need to be sure that you have set the correct case. -W and -w are not the same command. And the string should be all on one line. Check for non-printing characters.

If you have a contact in your address book and you want to find which Group he's in, what do you do? In the Leopard address book you highlighted the name and hit the Alt key and it showed you he was in Group 7, or whatever. How do you do the same thing in Lion Address Book? If the function is there, it's not exactly intutive, I have to say. You might even say it's hidden. Even in the Help menu.

I can't believe we're still waiting for an update. Thanks Apple. Stop testing iCloud and fix those d a r n bugs. Never buying a newly released product from you again. In the long run I'm also switching to Linux/Android.

There must be a major change in people working at Apple responsible for this debacle. There's no way the previous team could have delivered this.  What a shame... up until now Apple was on such a roll.  It's not likely the old people, where-ever they went, will come back.  Whether the new people will ever be the equal of the old is unknown but not likely to happen anytime soon.

"Whether the new people will ever be the equal of the old is unknown but not likely to happen anytime soon" -

The 'new people' will never equal the old.   The younger clan of coder's are just 'cut and paste' kiddies.   The oldest school Mac guys were NeXT folks that built the entire platform from scratch including the runtime architecture!   

I've never switched my main machine from 10.5.x because of the 'upgrades' to xCode on 10.6.

I've been on OS X since 10.1 or 10.2    It has been a pleasant trip.  Like many developers, moved to OS X because of the UNIX foundation AND the NeXT development environment. 

I like the old Apple better than the new Apple.

I had a wonderfully long reply written to this post but the new Lion Safari's reaction to a minute accidental touch on the Magic Mouse flicked the whole page into oblivion. So much for autosave.

Scroll Bars are often not availabel untill you start scrolling via mouse and gestures, I would like to see a always visible scroll bar as it used to be.

Go to System Preferences, General. Choose 'always show scroll bars'.

Cheers,

Purchasing OSX Lion is the worst istake I have ever made with computers, I absolutely hate it.

Ever since I installed it...

-Yahoo Messenger and Skype repeatedly crash

-Computer crashes on startup about 1/3 of the time

-iTunes no longer works since trying to import library created in Leopard, now every time iTunes is opened it freezes when loading the library and I get an "application not responding" message when the app is right-clicked.

-System runs slower, takes longer to load programs and websites

I hate OSX Lion.
