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

For my case, on a MacBook 13". I feel that OS Lion is slowing my MacBook. Especially for photo viewing with iPhoto or Aperture. Safari often crashes while I was browsing.Shut Down time and Startup time is longer. However, for battery life it makes no different for me.

I am so glad that I am back to Snow Leopard. I do not recommend to upgrade to OS Lion, yet.

It would seem that front row has dissapeared altogether, why take this function away???

They did and I didnt like it either. I found a solution, but you can't access itunes because they changed the file base name. All the other features work fine though. Go to http://osxdaily.com/2011/07/21/front-row-for-mac-os-x-lion/  and there is a installer by MacHatter. it gives you back front row in lion.

Aperture gets corrupted previews ALL. THE. TIME. The only thing that fixes them is restarting Aperture (not generating new previews). Lion has seriously slowed my machine down .. it ran faster on 2GB of memory on Leopard than it does with 8GB of memory on Lion

Wow, I've been reading through some of the posts on this thread and I'm starting to think I've got off quite lightly with my Lion upgrades.

Every thing still seems to work or can be fixed or worked around. I've spent hours reading up on the main well discussed problems like AFP and brightness in target display mode and numerous other things though.

If I wanted to spend my entire day fiddling with my OS I'd probably use Linux ! For me the joy of Apple OSX has always been the fact that things 'just worked'... not so with this release it would seem :-(

I've also had problems getting my imacs to sleep, and strangly my 2nd imac that I was using in target display mode  once went to sleep when I sent the main one to sleep!

I can't explain that but if it worked consistantly I would actually accept that as a worthwhile new feature !

I'm also sitting here staring at a white screen on the  secondary imac monitor as I write this, that's the second time it's done that , I have to disconnect/ reconnect to fix it :-(

I think I'll be waiting a couple of months when 'pink elephant' or what ever comes out ;-)

Yep, agree like most everyone else here.  Lion looks to be a disaster.

Extremely slow load times for applications; I counted 27 bounces to open Contacts! (on a new machine)

WiFi diconnects daily, where the connection was rock solid in Snow Leopard.

Launchpad, a useless app center that doesn't allow basic editing of what's displayed.

The hotcorners seem to work when they feel like it.

Strange crashes, no support for the PowerPC apps that I'd come to rely on.  (APPLE's chip for God's sake!)

And a new one, the zoom feature locked up on me and limited me to a tiny screen area today.  Nothing to do but hard-reset the machine.

So much for Apple reliability.  Maybe a new slogan is called for, "It just doesn't work".

Has anyone loaded the upgrade that I understand came out this week to correct some problems?  I have not had a chance to do that yet. Did the upgrade fix any of the multitude of issues about which we are complaining?

My imac goes into zoom on safari unpredictably and I cannot get in back down to normal size without moving to another page.

Lion keeps sending my HP C4780 printer into scan mode for no reason I can identify.  Downloading the latest driver did not help.

Has Apple forgotten its reputation for quality and reliability? 

I have loaded the upgrade and it fixes nothing. Safari seems to be the main issue for me. Sometimes it will not quit and I have to hard boot my MacBook Pro and even then sometimes it opens at start up. If it is running you cannot shutdown or restart the computer because Safari stops the process. I have never had an issue with any of the other OS X upgrades just Lion. I found that Chrome works fine and has no issues with Lion at all. I hope they fix this. 

Mac OSX Lion is officially the worst product released by Apple since the Lisa computer!!!!!!

This destroys every bit of benefit of the doubt Apple had earned over the years through quality, $30 to download a virus that destroys Macs.

-iTunes has never worked, I've re-installed it countless number of times now, it always crashes on load.

-Wifi disconnects repeatedly during the day.

-Yahoo messenger and skype constantly crash

-Computer randomly crashes when using iMovie or on load

-Whole system runs much much slower

Way to FAIL apple, OSX Lion is just pathetic.  I want my $30 back, as well as all the bloated costs you've put on your products over the years.

I loaded the upgrade as soon as it was available. (I was sick of the constant disconnects so I checked several times a day.)

The WiFi problems are a little better after the upgrade, but not by much.  All the others are still there.

Similar problem.. when Safari has its "internal crash" ie when it forces all the web pages to reload, I'm stuck with a kajillion "untitled" pages which are not operable.  So why fill up my windows with a whole bunch of inoperable screens which don't even tell me what URL was previously on the page? Now I have to go and delete each one?  

I think it is worrying how quiet Apple is keeping about Lion. I certainly think its a backward step from its previous operating system. Very diappointing.

And considering all of the hype about going 'Back to the Mac' it certainly feels like there are some things that not a lot of thought was given to. I miss Leopard .. it ran like the shizzle on my 2GB laptop and never froze up no matter how hard I threw stuff at it. My current MBP  with 8GB of memory and a dual core 2.8 seems to be barely able to handle Lion, let alone apps. Puzzling ...

My experience with an Imac 2010 2.93 i7 with 12 gb ram and two MBP, both new, but pre Lion just. I was a committed Apple person but this makes me regret changing to Apple. Hopefully Apple will recover this and win back some good faith amongst its customers (thats what we are Apple)
