Thanks to the fact that I replaced my regular PC with a Macbook Air with OS X, I was able to start exploring an unknown system that many describe as one of the easiest to use ever. Today I would like to point out a few pitfalls regarding the transition from Snow Leopard to the new OS X Lion.
Because it was mine Macbook purchased at the end of July, according to Applu I am entitled to a free transfer using a code that the manufacturer sends me after filling out a simple form and sending a photo or scanned invoice. This is where the first problem occurred. I don't know what happened to my request for a code, but even though I submitted it at the end of July, the code still hasn't arrived. After a few days I stopped solving the problem and got Lion in a different way (thanks Romane). This issue is therefore Apple he underestimated a bit, it is possible that the code will still arrive, however, I rather think that my request has already "gone to waste".
Reverse scrolling. A thing that many people have been discussing on discussion forums and on the microblogging network Twitter. First, I decided to give “proper” scrolling a try.ancbut after a short time I gave up. With my classic mouse, moving down using the scroll wheel felt unnatural and after sitting down at a different PC I always had a tendency to control it like Lion. So changing the scrolling was inevitable.
Another thing that surprised me a bit is the new Misson Control. It replaced the classic Exposé and integrated several functions into one. I don't understand why. Mission Control cannot display minimalized application windows, while Exposé in Snow Leopard handled it without any problems. I don't know if this is an intentional feature or just a bug in the system, but in my opinion Snow Leopard handled this feature better. Although there is also classic Exposé in Lion (it can be turned on with one of the gestures in the settings), miniMalized windows are ignored here as well.
In my opinion, the speed of the system has not changed after switching to Lion. Even though I have come across several reports that Lion has "boosted" their Mac and the system is noticeably faster after the update.
no matter how I search, I can't find the expose anywhere.
Scrolling is not that much of a problem for me, it's exactly the same as on my iPhone, so I got used to it quickly. I use it anyway most of the time. trackpad (mouse only for games) and there is no problem with that. You can simply switch it in the settings to scroll in the opposite direction, as you are used to from windows, so no one has to get used to anything new if they don't want to.
Otherwise, I can also confirm a noticeably faster system, but on the other hand, the laptop starts up a few seconds longer.
The truth is that scrolling in style Apple is suitable for someone who has from Apple any touch device and at the same time has peripherals from Apple, That is trackpad, Magic Trackpad or Magic Mouse. This was also a problem for me with a regular mouse. It is also because I also switch between AppleI have a PC. At first it was a bit unusual, but now I sometimes try to use the Alt C, Alt V key combination on the PC and guess why? ;-) Instead of Alt, the Mac has the Command key, which actually has similar or the same functions as the PC Control. Otherwise miniwindow minimization is in Lion, it is invoked with a different gesture than Mission Control, but it is different and I would say less clear, the windows do not fit into a matrix, but seem to overlap in different ways when there are more of them, it loses some clarity. On the contrary, I like the function in this case Mission Control, which compensates for the lower display resolution and neatly arranges windows into individual areas, is a big step forward for me from the original versions of Mac OS. Overall, I like the new system.
The code for Lion should arrive within 7 days, if it does not arrive, call 800700527 Apple support.
If you do not call or write an email, the code will not arrive after those 7 days
it would take a couple screenshotHey, I've had my first MAC since July/ mac mini and I would like to learn more about these bugs..:) mainly at the moment I feel like I could just stay on Snow Leopard... thanks...
Well done, but if you let it crystallize and didn't deal with it, it looks really stupid. Call this number 800 700 527, tell them your reference number and they will complete the redemption on Lion.
Minipaint a window? On a Mac? dead function……
Jose: I had the same problem, so I just set it to kl on the netbook. shortcut that I use instead of ctrl alt and instead of alt F4 alt Q :)
Reverse scrolling took me about a day to get used to, but maybe it's because I used it on an iPhone 3 years ago... otherwise I sent the request for a redeem code 4 days after Lion was released. App Wow, it took me 2 weeks to get the code in my email :)
I was dealing with the exact same problem with the redeem code. A month has passed since the request and the redeem code is nowhere to be found.
Once, by pure chance, I was forced to subscribe to my email list via the web interface (I don't even know why anymore) and I discovered that I had received an email from Applu with the redeem code has been floating around in spam for about 3 weeks now...
So I recommend checking your inbox via the web interface and going through the spam!
My experience with scrolling: it took me about a week and it's completely automatic, but it makes sense when you use other devices from Applu (especially iPad, iPhone – there scrolling works exactly the same logically). I MacBook It also noticeably (subjectively) accelerated and working with windows and switching with 4 fingers, including combinations with fullscreen, means that I have practically everything running all the time and in between I just switch, including Parallels ala Windows XP in Fullscreen, perfect. The startup is probably slower, but for me it happens about once every 2 months, maybe not even once, MacBook I'm just closing/putting it to sleep.
I checked my spam folder on my email and was surprised to find an email from Applu with the code for lion. My friend then found it there too. However, I only found out when I called the apple line and after the phone call I received the code within half an hour
