Well earlier this week I upgraded my MacBook Pro (almost 5 years old) computer to Lion (from Snow Leopard). I also upgraded my iPhone and iPad to iOS 5.??
I downloaded the update file from the app store, and following the instructions from this web site (thanks Lee) <http://lifehacker.com/5823096/how-to-burn-your-own-lion-install-dvd-or-flash-drive> I burned an install dvd and then did a clean install. After the install I chose to migrate (from my time machine) settings and accounts but not applications. Two observations about how Lion works. 1) prior to Lion, when my monitor was in sleep mode I was able to run my fingers over the track pad and the monitor would wake up. Under Lion I have to click the bar at the bottom of the track pad. 2) My non-apple blue tooth mouse scroll wheel operates in a reverse manner. Before Lion I rolled the scroll wheel down to move the scroll bar down. Now I roll the scroll wheel up. Curious. Questions: 1) There are several Apple apps that came with my computer that did not transfer, IDVD for example. If I just drag iIDVD from Time Machine to my applications folder will it work properly. What about my iWork apps? 2) Today my wife logged on to iCloud.com and added an event to our calendar (she did this from her PC :-( The event synced to my iPhone and my iPad but not to the calendar on my Mac. I had to quit and reopen the calendar to get the event on the computers calendar. Is there a way to force a sync without quitting ICal? That's it for now.
