I have a Mac Mini running Lion Server 10.7.3. I am utilizing File Sharing and Screen Sharing to connect from my MacBook to the server. When I try to connect, it works fine if I enter credentials as a Registered User, but I'd like to use my Apple ID instead. Both machines are set up with the same Apple ID. When I try to use my Apple ID to connect, it doesn't work. The login box simply shakes back and forth.
When I switched to ICloud I thought my Apple ID and password would work for Apple store. It turns out they have a different Apple ID at the Apple store with a diferent password that I do not remember. HOw can I make the ICloud Apple ID and password work for all other platforms?

Why in the world would Apple make the track pad LESS useful in OS Lion? I hate that I can't g back to the top of a web page with a singe swipe. And of course all the other gestures are totally reversed. IMHO, this was not an improvement.
My daugter is turning 8 was given a Macbook Pro for her birthday. What is the best way to setup her new computer? Do I need to register it under my apple id or is there and way to create one for her.
How do I go about merging 2 apple id's - have one for my mac and another that I used on iTunes now need to merge the two without losing product info that is already in the one id
i saw a page earlier which listed what courses Apple offers and i was wondering if there are any in australia, victoria, that i could enroll in? how do i find what institutions offer these courses and what type of workplaces look for people with these qualifications? once they're completed, do i receive some type of piece of paper that i could frame?
i have been using Mac OS X Lion since its release last year. A few months ago my brother wanted to use Mac OS X in his MacBook Pro 13'. He was using a different Apple ID. I signed in with my apple ID on his Laptop and installed Lion and then signed out and again signed back in with his ID. He is not being able to download updates as an error message pops out showcasing that it is not authorised. Will it be persistent?

I am considering buying a Mac, but I has a quick question: are multiple IDs supported on in OSX? For instance, could one user use their own AID while another can use a different ID, with no overlap between Users?
As time passed, we have many, many computers around our institution. At some point, users were able to update their individual software without admin assistants. However, we have changed the policy, and users can't do this anymore. Therefore, is there an easy way to push updates to multiple apple computers? The apps that need to be updated include:
1. Apple OS
2. Individual Applications
3. Apple Firmware
If you could list what product works best, and if Apple does have a in-house solution.
Most of the apps that came with my Mac don't work. Mail, System Preferences, Firefox and Google Chrome all bounce for a bit in the Dock then disappear again. System Preferences sometimes appears, but as soon as I click on something it disappears again. Sometimes is appears twice in the Dock.
My mac is an old DET model, and i got in by cheating. (apple-s on startup, mount -uw /, rm /var/db/.AppleSetupDone, shutdown -h now.) Could that have much to do with it? This is a multi-account system and none of these problems are experiences in other accounts made the same way. There are 2 admins and the account with probs are one of them.
I'm using Apple Mail 5.2 on a MacBook Pro 13" with OS 10.7.3. I have 4 email accounts (3 x exchange and 1 x POP). The sent box for one of my exchange accounts has disappeared from the 'Sent' list, where all my account's sent boxes are listed. It is visible on my iphone, which makes me think it is a Mail issue rather than a server issue. I've tried restarting the app and rebuilding the mailbox but nothing will make it reappear.
I recently updated to os 10.7.4 and found that i could no longer mount SMB file shares
I reverted back to 10.7.3 and all is well, SMB File Shares mount with out issue. this issue persists accross multiple workstations.
I called Apple inquire and was told Lion no longer supports SBM. Im not sure I recived actual fact, or if the tier two apple care opp was just sadley missinformed.
Has anyone els had a hard time mounting SMB file shares after updating to 10.7.4 ?
Up until I reloaded lion a few weeks ago, I had my att.net account set up in apple mail. There were no problems. I had my folders set up and it showed my sent mail and junk mail. After reloading, I knew I would have to set up my folders again but I no longer have access to my junk mail and sent mail. What am I doing wrong?
Yesterday I bought a new MacBook Pro running 10.7.4 and discovered I cannot print to my Laserwriter 4/600 using Asantetalk connected to ethernet (which is connected via a router to my AirPort Extreme (round, white circa 2005). If I use one of my older MacBooks to share the printer with my new one, then it prints fine, no problem at all. It's direct printing that's the problem. I also did NOT have a problem setting up my MBP (OS 10.5.8) to print from the LW when I got it in 2008. What I've done is: - Go to Sys. Prefs > Print & Scan > + printer in Printers list, select "IP". At that point I have tried ALL of the options, IPP, LPD and HP, which I detail below. With each one I have tried, I have had to manually Select Printer Software. When I select Apple Laserwriter 4/600, I have had to also manually give it a Name in order for me to Add the printer. At that point, here's what happens when I try IPP: - I get the message 'Unable to verify the printer on your network. Unable to connect to " due to an error. Would you like to create the queue?' I select Continue. - It then says it's setting up the printer, and "Make sure your printer's options are accurately shown here so you can take full advantage of them." Memory Configuration: I select 6 MB, then the OK button. - Then it says it's setting up the printer. - I then try to print. - I open up the printer monitor, it acts like it's going to print, but then Pauses. My document stays in the queue, and when I try to Resume Printer, it acts like it's going to print again, but then get a message something like "The printer's URI is incorrect or no longer exists." The it pauses it again. I try again. Pause. and it will just keep doing this and never print. Keep in mind, after I try each method and it doesn't work, I delete both the print job and the printer from the list. So I delete the printer, try adding a new one with LPD: - It doesn't give me a message that it's unable to verify the printer on my network, which seems good, but then when I try to print, it says it's copying print data, it's connected to the printer, and then it pauses. I keep trying, but it keeps pausing it. When I try the HP, like the IPP it tells me it's unable to verify the printer on my network. I Continue anyway, it acts as if it's setting it up, but nothing happens, so I hit the "Configure" button. I then select my memory configuration. It seems to take, so I try to print. It acts like it's processing the job, but then says the printer is busy. I went to this page: I hope I have given enough information about my ystem and printer. I have scoured these forums and Google, and cannot find a solution to my problem that works. I am hoping I don't have to print only using a shared printer because that is a bit of a hassle since I don't plan on always having an older MBP running as a server.
Just bought a MBP from apple shop and physically changed the HDD to SSD.Command+R on startup and downloaded latest OS for installation. When prompted to key in my apple ID, was given the error that Apple ID has not purchased LION.

Superdrive recognizes all disks, even movies. DVD player is set to open when a movie is inserted so everything works up till that point. The movie never actually loads and when I click play the windows reads "Supported disc not available". I use iSkysoft DVD Copy Pro to back up my DVD media. When I attempted to do this yesterday DVD copy pro would not load the movie. I used VCL and the movie played fine then tried DVD Copy Pro and it loaded the disc. But DVD Player still doesn't load the movie. I booted in Win 7 and Win media player played the DVDs fine.So far I have:
• Tried several DVD media and all read fine but DVD player does not load movies. Note, I have only inserted US region DVD
• Repaired permissions
Repairing permissions for “Lion” Permissions differ on “Applications/iTunes.app/Contents/Frameworks/iPodUpdater.framework/iPodUpdater” ; should be lrwxr-xr-x ; they are -rwxr-xr-x .
I just moved over to Lion and was using the latest version of Mail (5.2) to compose a message. When I first used the photobrowser, it took a while to find my iPhoto collection and showed the message "no media was found". OK this may seem very petty, but this is dreadful English, 'Media' being a plural. Surely Apple would want to know about this and to fix this ("no media found" being the best alternative in my opinion).

little word bug, that there is in the finder menu, when using the Danish language. First there is the grayed out "Ordn" that needs to be "Orden" and then there is the highligted "Ordn efter" that should be "Orden efter". Just wanted to le you know so you can make a better product.
Is there some security phenomenon that will not allow me to copy and paste my PW into the slot/space for Password, when I try and signin to Apple forums. The allocated space where I would normally paste my PW does not show anything being pasted,, and I have also used Paste in the menu area , and even tried dragging my PW into this area, to no avail. Of course, I can type it in manually,, however, my PW is strong,, and generated, and find it very arduous to type in.Perhaps a 10.7 feature?
