Hi Daniel, You've probably moved along since Rosseta was needed, but I still had some old software installed on my MacBook Pro when I installed Lion. The ancient software didn't cause any problems, but when I got around to removing the old software Lion sped up considerably.
Now to learn how to synchronise contacts between my Nokia E63 and MacBook Pro ... or perhaps I'll wait until my iPhone 4S arrives this week and back up the contents of my Nokia and back up my MacBook Pro before I try to synchronise my iPhone with my Nokia and them y MacBook Pro. The last time I tried to synchronise phone and computer was about 6 years ago and I found that I lost every contact which was on the phone but not on my computer. Any tips would be very welcome. Regards, Michael Hawkins 17" MacBook Pro 2.4 Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo 6 GB 667 Mhz DDR2 SDRAM OS 10.7.1 -----Original Message----- From: Daniel Kerr <wa...@macwizardry.com.au> Reply-To: WAMUG Mailing List <wamug@wamug.org.au> Date: Sun, 16 Oct 2011 13:32:06 +0800 To: WAMUG Mailing List <wamug@wamug.org.au> Subject: Re: iOS5 and Lion 10.7.2 with iCloud Support now available. >hi Rod > >Just to follow on from this. >I (like Ronni) took the plunge this weekend and upgraded my laptop to >10.7.
