The question you need to ask yourself is, did it fix my problem? I love how easy it is to get all back up and running on my Mac. Much easier than reinstalling Windows. Scott On May 5, 2012, at 11:02 AM, Jenny Keller wrote: I was having problems with my operating system, Lion, popping up

That depends on how long it took. I've done it twice, and both times it took almost 5 hours. How long did yours take? -Original Message- From: macvisionaries@googlegroups.com [mailto:macvisionaries@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Jenny Keller Sent: Saturday, May 05, 2012 10:02 AM To:

Surely it could not have taken you five hours to install Lion. That is impossible. Maybe to install Lion, set everything up, and install all of your apps, but even then something just doesn't add up. On May 5, 2012, at 1:30 PM, Kliphton wrote: That depends on how long it took. I've done it

I don't know yet, I only turned on my computer once since then and it went directly to the desk top, but that doesn't mean anything, it only means that it hasn't had time to act weird yet. We'll see the next time I shut down and turn it back on. Keep your fingers crossed. Jenny On May 5,

Hi, I highly doubt you needed to reinstall for that. That's a known issue in Lion, where Voiceover will not speak at the login field, even though it's set to. In fact, there are bugs with VO starting on startup in lion in general. I've reported them to Apple for investigation, so perhaps they'll

LOL! That is an understatement: VO start-up under lion being buggy. A few months ago, I did a clean install to see if it would help, but as far as I was concerned, the clean install had way more quirks than my upgrade install. Thank God for Carbon Copy Cloner; I just restored my original lion

Oh, don't get me wrong, I believe it's an understatement. But, apple does learn from things that are buggy in a previous release, for the most part. I'm also hoping things are fixed in ML, as well as the stupid bug that prohibits us from accessing the wifi menu in recovery. -Original

That is interesting Daniel because I have no such issues with Lion at all. I always have VO speaking at the login prompt. On May 5, 2012, at 3:46 PM, Daniel Miller wrote: Hi, I highly doubt you needed to reinstall for that. That's a known issue in Lion, where Voiceover will not speak at

It was almost like it just booted up normally. I didn't know how to do it, so I probably did it wrong. But o yes, there must be a pod cast for that too since my questions are too inconvenient for the listers to answer and I need to be spoon fed and am too lazy aparently to look it up. Jenny

Is it a bug in Lion that sometimes, it will go to the log in screen and sometimes, it will just go to the desktop? that was the major problem. It was getting a little rediculous that I was having to boot my system twice to get it to boot up in the desk top like it's supposed to. all the

I can't say to much here because of my agreement with the dev team. But I can say you will be pleasantly surprised with mountain lion. And the reason it took five hours to reinstall lion, is because I erased my hard drive first. Sorry, should have specified that. On May 5, 2012, at 2:51 PM,
