The Carbon Copy CCC software for back up is garbage, trash, junk – total crap – use this and kiss your data good bye.

If you can follow the CCC instructions – better spend you time more productively on doing the calculus for perpetual motion.

I would like to know if upgrading a mac computer’s osx version includes upgrades for its network drivers or upgrading the network drivers is done separately.

Ever since I downloaded Lion I am having trouble downloading anything from a browser. It just goes to a black screen – is there a way to get things to go to the downloads folder again?

Please help!

Is it possible to update, then transfer all my files and settings back over via Time Machine?
It seems like that would replace the Lion system files with Snow Leopard ones, no?

If anyone has a tip on how to disable launchpad and mission control, a bit like it was possible to disable the dashboard in snow leopard, i’d be interested, it’s just eye candy … useless for some users

You can’t upgrade from Leopard to Lion, but you can perform a clean install on a bare drive. The only version of OS X that can be upgraded from is 10.6.6 or higher.

Uninstal Macfuse ntfs-3g before upgrading to Lion.

@The Skeptic: Thanks for this info.

After installation of Lion, I got the error message saying that Bootcamp drive could not be mounted. Is there a solution to fix this problem?

Thanks,
