OS X V10.7 Lion :: Accessing Internet After Installing It?
Feb 13, 2012
I just installed Lion to my Mac (Mac OS X Lion 10.7.3), and somehow I now seem to have trouble accessing internet. I use Wi-fi, and the actual connection with our internet-provider works just fine (we have other computers in the house, and have not experienced any trouble with them). When I want to use internet I have to go to the network panel, click on "help me", and run a diagnostics. After that, I have no problem assessing internet.Â

When I try to get email or go on the internet in general after being away for a short while, the internet is not connected and has trouble connecting. I have DSL and should always be connected. I also have a laptop (non Apple running Ubuntu) and there is no problem there.

Without going into too much detail about the crazy logistics of the two networks that are available here, this is the situation:
Up until last Sunday (it was working fine at about 11:45 Saturday night right before I left), I had always been able to use one particular network jack. I'd just plug in my RJ-45 (Cat 5) cable and power up the MB and be on my way. Well, when I came in on Sunday, the jack is dead. There are other jacks to this network in the building, but the closest one is about 75'-100' away. I'd just buy a longer cable, but I don't think they want me running RJ-45 across the office when I need to use it. Not only that, but the company that supplies that network will be moving out in June, and most likely shutting off all their jacks in the building.
Now, we have the other network here that is obviously still working, but I do not have the credentials to connect to it. When I plug in the network cable, I get the familiar "None of your preferred networks are available" dialogue box.
So my question is this - is there some way that I can tap into one of the existing networks and bypass the company stuff by just connecting to the Internet through the DSL account we have at home? I mean, if you have a network jack that is working, you don't need to have access to that particular network to get out onto the Internet as long as you have a login and password to a network, right?

I get the following error message after installing the Messages Beta. I've since unistalled Messages and updated 10.7.4 hoping this would resolve the issue. It appears that some of the 10.8 security features(Gatekeeper)have been installed on my computer, but my system preferences application was not updated to allow me to change the Mac App store security settingsI do not have a current time machine backup to roll back the OS.

Is it possible to access the Internet using another computer connected to it. Reason be that we sometimes have only access to a UMTS network, and since we only have one stick it would be nice if the other computer in the network could surf over the one connected to the UMTS network.

I can not find documentation ANYWHERE that explains - specifically - how to configure my Airport Extreme to access the attached USB hard drive from the internet. Has anyone successfully done this? I would like to type in an address and have it go directly to the drive. I think I've done everything in the airport utility that I'm supposed to do, and I've set up a dynamic dns account and opened up port 80.

Is there a way to prevent apps from accessing files that are in the trash? I recently got bit when I moved some files to the trash, checked to make sure that nothing was broken, and then took out the trash. Turned out some applications were still using the files while they were in the trash. Is there a way, either in terminal or finder, to leave the files in the trash but make it so no apps can see them? It would be nice if this was the normal behavior.

Have a MacBook and MacBook Air both running Lion. On both machines - When opening safari to log in to a public wifi it freezes while trying to open the wifi login page. Safari becomes non responsive and has to be force quit.
MacBook running Snow Leopard works fine on same network. Both Lion machines work fine on my home wifi (airport base station / encrypted).

I have a new MacBook Pro and instead of restoring it from a previous Time Machine backup, I was hoping I could access part of the backup and copy some contents on to the new MacBook Pro. Can it be done?Â
For example, my Time Machine backup has 80gb of music in it, can I access that from my new MacBook Pro and copy the music?

I have been trying to install IE7 on OSX10.6.4 using WineSkin and not being very successful. I need IE to access a website for my IACC program here in Australia and do not want to have to use bootcamp to use one website. Does anyone have a tutorial or a guide that will run me through the steps to be successful?

I backed up my iMac desktop at work onto an external hard drive. I can see the files, but they are all locked. When I go to open, I receive the following message "The folder (whatever the name is) can't be opened because you don't have permission to see its contents." I understand that the system I want to transfer to is different, but is there -- shouldn't there be an override asking for the password.Â
Since I am the administrator to both systems, I would hope I could see the documents that I created.Â

I have a 2010 mini that shipped with Snow Leopard. I hooked up to my TV with display set at 1080p and had no problems for a year and a half. I just installed Lion, though, and a few times now, when the computer wakes up from sleep, it has changed to a lower resolution. I can go back into System Preferences and change it back, but I don't think I should have to. This is a Mac, after all.

I have not been able to connect to the AppStore. My internet connection may be too slow or there is some other problem. The Apple helpdesk is less than helpful. They do not assist with connection problems. Result: No AppStore for me. So How do I upgrade to Lion? (The problem started when the Lion USB stick was not yet available)Â One possible solution is to buy a new MacBook. I may have to, because the one I am using is falling apart.Â
So, suppose I have this brand new MacBook and no connection to the AppStore. Is there a way to create a recovery DVD or USB stick from the new MacBook, without buying the official USB stick?Â
All articles about Lion recovery assume that you have an internet connection. I have news: not every internet connection counts as an internet connection as far as Apple is concerned. Funny thing is, that all updates to Leopard and Snow Leopard went without problems.Â

I have a 500 GB Hard drive in my early 2011 MacBook Pro and will be adding a a second SSD Drive in the former location of my optical drive. I purchased a 64GB SSD and only want to transfer the operating sytem and apps. How can I do this? I am familiar with super duper but think that only exact copies can be made. Is there any other way that I can transfer just Mac OSX Lion and my Apps to my new hard drive?Â

how to install the Lion OS on more than one computer? I downloaded and installed Lion on my iMac today, but want to do the same for my other two computers as well. Is there a way to find the DMG file and save it onto a flash drive instead of downloading it all over again? I searched using Spotlight and could not find the downloaded file anywhere.Â

I have Xcode 4.3.2 downloaded from MacApp store. However, it didn't set my environment for development libraries at all. So I included /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/usr/bin/ in PATH so it can find common utilities like make, cc, etc. I have installed mysql-5.5.23-osx10.6-x86_64 from MySQL's DMG archive. That went smooth - I am able to start and stop the server. Get in using mysql command line client interface and execute queries, etc. Perl came preinstalled with 10.7.3 Lion. Version of perl is 5.12.3. I am now trying to install DBD::MySQL driver for interfacing with perl and ran into issues. According to MySQL documentation, I first tried to install this driver using -Â
shell> perl -MCPAN -e shell
cpan> force install DBD::mysqlÂ
But this failed with make errors (the error is same as reported further below). Then, after days of googling, I found the original post by etresoft on installing this driver. I followed the steps documented in that post (reproduced below for easy reference). My comments in italics. Download the MySQL Perl driver. Done. My version of DBD happens to be 4.021.Â
Extract the archive with:
tar xvf DBD-mysql-4.021.tarÂ
Move into the directory:
cd DBD-mysql-4.021Â
First, fix the MySQL client library. (credit) For Lion, type:sudo install_name_tool -id /usr/local/mysql-5.5.14-osx10.6-x86_64/lib/libmysqlclient.18.dylib /usr/local/mysql-5.5.14-osx10.6-x86_64/lib/libmysqlclient.18.dylib Done. No issues.

I am trying to update my iMac from Snow Leopard to Lion via a purchased download. The first time it wouldn't install because it said the disk was corrupted and needed to be wiped. So I wiped it and restored to the starting position, did disk repair (all fine). Downloaded it again, after several failed attempts. Finally got it to download and install only to discover it wasn't working properly - Mail for instance didn't work - and used OSX recovery to reinstall, which downloaded "components" for 8 hours and then I got a big yellow triangle warning saying "installation failed." Â
I have used up all my high speed internet connection allowance for the month trying to do this, and am now back on a restored version of Snow Leopard. Any advice gratefully received! I simply don't have the ability or patience to try to download another 4GB.

I recently tried to wipe my HD and reinstall OSX Lion again to wipe my computer and start again. But now i am having difficulty installing Lion again as when i reset my MacBook Pro it comes up with the internet recovery and the option to reinstall OSX Lion.Once i click on that option it says its verifying the update with apple, then comes up with an error message saying an error occurred while preparing the installation please open application again. Or something along those lines this effectively leaves my computer unusable as i cannot do anything else with it.
