Its not working invalid img error
which version should i download for my macbook pro? client or client combo? im new to mac world so kindly help me
Still got problem copying files to external disk which I would have thought was one of the simpler things a system should be able to do. I/O is pretty fundamental after all! Error message “The Finder can’t complete the operation because some data in “DSC_1380.NEF” can’t be read or written.
(Error code -36)”.
This is RUBBISH!
Sounds like a problem with Windows file systems, not OS X
After the update I transferred Lion back to the main hard drive but still encountered two problems Time machine is stuck in the “Preparing to back-up” and system preferences pane “start up disk” keeps crashing with my CAC card. System preferences was fine for one day but back to the same old problems. Fortunately, I used CC cloner and I am presently re-cloning SNL back to the main hard drive. Again, for almost a year, Lion is banished to the outhouse(external hard drive).
Anyone else had iPhoto screw up after this update? All my pictures show up, but all of my face tags are gone!
After update ALL my screensavers have disappeared in System Preferences, also when I try to open “Groups & Users” I get this message “Could not load Users & Groups preference pane” I have searched for answers everywhere, with now helpful answers. If someone can help here, pls let know.
I know the feeling – i have done the same and i am now having huge issues with this update.
Actually after 10.7.4 update, almost *all* of my preferences, System and per Application, got reset. I can’t prove that it’s caused by the 10.7.4 update, but man the timing is suspect. Hope it’s not a contemporaneous virus / malware infection. Anyone else observe similar behavior after a 10.7.4 update?
MBA11 late 2011, fwiw. Screensaver got reset, Trackpad settings, Finder icon sizes, Sparrow (snif) settings, etc. all reset. Others I’m just discovering as I go. Notably, locked firewall settings were preserved. TIA
The update has forced my login background to the original that comes with it, but when I look at the NSTexturedFullScreenBackgroundColor.png file it is the same image that I chose it to be. Gotta figure out where the new image is being sourced from…
Please let us know when you do– I find this most annoying. Why do they care so passionately what our login screens look like? My design isn’t boring enough?
Also, Automator has a different icon.
What about this beautiful log entries since the update?

this is the result of tools like istat or smcfancontrol. Had the same entries and since i got rid of the istat widget in my dashboard they disappeared.
Still Slow, Still Takes 5 Mins to Load startup even when system has rstore windows turned off.
GRRR I hate this feature, will not be gettion mountain lion anytime soon!
Everything seems fine since the update, no changes noticeable for the most part, save the fact that Photoshop CS5 Extended now gives errors about missing parts and is inoperable, needs to be reinstalled. Tried. Tried again. Nothing but errors on the install.
**sigh** now PS CS5 is busted. Don’t recommend the update if you use said program.
I noticed that the Flag for Language and Text icon slightly changed. Only the coloring…its more of a dull colors on the flag
When will they fix the bugs in iCal? Invitations that I get from people on certain Windows system disappear or can’t update. Anyone know about this?
having a similar issue actually — half of the events are declared “invalid” and not added when I sync with a certain ICS file. DTEND and DTSTART or something.
Did the Update. Wow, Lion still blows. Come on Apple!
LOL, Mountain Lion is coming soon.
Finally fixed the reopen windows bug!!! Yaaahoo!!!!!!!
