In before the AAA-bunch. I will probably wait to upgrade till this weekend. Bookmarked for any future updates.

Thanks for pioneering. I do exactly the opposite, so I depend on guys like you to take the arrows for me. :-)

I have many older apps that I don’t believe will run on Lion so I’m seriously looking at Windows emulation as much more valuable than before.

I don’t think of myself as a lion. You might as well though, I have a mighty roar.

Does the new upgrade really need 7GB. I have 4GB

Have to admit I am kind of scared to upgrade my IMAC from Snow leopard to Lion by myself. Was it pretty easy?

Check Software Update, I hear the latest iTunes is 64-bit Cocoa for Lion now. It’s about time.

I’m still waiting to upgrade, maybe next month. I never upgrade any OS as soon as it’s available, not even OS X. I’ve never had one problem upgrading OS X, just general principle.

Good to hear it went well. I am planing on doing my Mac tomorrow.

Since installing Lion, I'm having trouble with the new iTunes and other updates...

I’ll probably upgrade the iMac to Lion about the time iCloud launches. Of course, I’m trying to talk the Mrs. into letting me get the updated MacBook Air (with Lion).

Make sure to run system update to get the new iTunes, and anything else that may have an update available that’s Lion specific - I got one for iWork11 as well as iTunes.

And yeah, the scrolling is going to take some getting used to... I’m very accustomed to my Logitech mouse with a scroll wheel. It’s bas-ackwards now :)

Do you have (do you need) multitouch trackpad input devices?

This lil ol granny just finished the download with no problems at all.

I noticed the change in direction for the mouse scroll, so went to preferences and looked for a check box. Sure enough, you can uncheck it, and the mouse will scroll just like it used to - for those too lazy to make the change.

Everything seems to be working fine. Now I have to get all my apps organized the way I like them on the Launchpad.

Seems very sweet to me, and I love the new calendar app!

Upgraded iMac & both MacBooks without issue this morning. Safari FINALLY seems to be running like a good browser should & I’ve noticed a speed increase in the opening & closing of apps.

Well worth the $29.99!

I am excited to get this done. I have to upgrade from leopard to lion. I’ve bought 2g new ram to add, but I don’t have the right little screwdriver. Once I get one I can try to do all this and give my 3 yr old iMac some new life.

If you back up regularly (I use super duper) that should be enough, right?

BEFORE YOU LIONIZE! Go to About This Mac, go into the Software | Applications section to get a list of all your applications. Click on the Kind column to sort by app type. Now make sure that you have no remaining apps of type "Power PC". These are the apps that will not run under lion.
