For anyone who uses quicktime player 7, did you noticed that after the 10.7.4 update that the loop and loop back and forth options stay greyed out even with content open? I have a qt 7 pro license, so I know it's not because of that..

The issues i've run into with Flash are, not so much video playback, there are plenty of alternatives to flash player for youtube, and many other video sites. The main reason it seems like i need to keep flash around are for sites like Speedtest.net and similar that require flash to run the web applications. So far I haven't found any alternatives to flash for such sites. If anyone has any suggestions i'll be glad to check them out. Anyway, for this fact, it seems like i have to keep flash around.

I am a bit confused with the printer updates. For example, when I installed my new printer drivers I used HP's disc so all the specific printer features were installed. All works fine, then software update downloaded the hp driver updates 2.8, and updated the driver over the stock HP one. Still fine, however, 2.9 doesn't show up in software update. I was wondering if apple basis the need for the update on the specific printer used, or is the update a manual download only, when you already have a previous update installed.

Thanks

could someone explain the new interface to me please? i have an issue when I add a file and clicking on the list to the left doesn't seem to make any difference e.g. my videos play list, etc. When I add a file i get a yellow triangle under the playlist in the main window which usually means warning or error, sometimes info, but i get no explanation of what's going on. no one has commented on this yet so I was hoping someone could tell me what's up Thanks.

For those who are on Lion, and having issues with growl notifications via growl 1.3x, the dev had sent me a work around via the bug reporter, that modifies a plist. Although this is said to be fixed in an up coming update, I have found a much simpler fix that also seems to solve the issue.

NOTE This is for Lion Users only
Download a program called Growl Version Detective
within the program, click on the framework tab.
NOTE be sure item isn't running before continuing to the next step.
locate iterm in the application list and click update FW.
the framework will be updated to 1.3.1, for me this seems to have solved the problem and is much simpler then messing with a plist for those who want quick and easy. Hope this helps!

I like some of the new features lion offers, and for the most part I find the os, to be problem free for me, however, there is one nasty bug I have encountered in the last couple months, that I can't seem to resolve.

I switched from cable to 4G for internet and now have a MiFi hotspot from verizon, everything is fine when i'm connected to the internet. The problem is, when I turn off the hotspot over night, the system will totally crash at random times while there is no internet connection, the only real way i have solved this is to actually put the macbook to sleep.

I tried the airport fix, of downgrading the airport driver to 3.2 from snow leopard, and it still crashes, so i'm getting the impression it's another part of the os, or an application/service running that crashes when there is no internet. I'm not sure if it's a full kernel panic because i let the display sleep but let the mac run, and the display is still off, but the rest of the mac is locked up. I have looked at console after such an event and i don't get much help there as in any really distinct information regarding the crash.

My Macbook is a macbook 2,1 core 2 duo 2 GB Ram graphics intel GMA 950 For now I have gone back to snow leopard, the only thing Lion truly offers me over snow leopard at this point is the integration with icloud right in address book for contacts and safari for bookmarks, etc, however these are simply handy tools and not deal breakers. I have as an alternative to icloud imported my contacts from icloud into google and sync snow leopard with that.

Any help would be appreciated. As far as i know from all the reports i've seen, Lion is the latest os my hardware can handle, unless apple changes the requirements in mountain lion's final release.

If someone can help me resolve this please let me know.

Thanks

P.S. This mac has Atheros wifi hardware.

how am i supposed to use this app, if both the download link, and link to the developer's site both yield a server that safari, and firefox can't find? I reported this problem once, and it's not resolved. Please look into this and let me know what's going on.


Thanks
