Hi, I upgraded my Mac to OSX Snow Leopard a couple of days ago.

Since then I twice had to unplug because the mouse stopped working and then I could not do an option / command / escape to shut down Safari. Usually Safari shuts down on my command when it starts acting stupid.

Oh DARN! People at the Mac Snow Leopard (10.6.3) site have the same problems with the mouse that I have!!!! I liked Apple until today.

Anyone here use Lion (10.7) -- released two weeks ago???

sorry we use dell PC. just switched from internet explorer to fire fox because we were having so many problems. runs much better now.
Sorry that you are having technical problems, really really don't like that!

Do you have Original OSX install CDs - so you could downgrade to the previous version?

remember to pull your data off onto separate media first (USB key, external drive that is not the boot drive) A full install may want to reformat.

this is a general suggestion as i haven't worked recent mac systems and doen't know how they distribute their OS. if you haven't cross posted to the computer forum here i would do that too...

Havent upgrade to lion and wont do.... Ugh, thosebupgrades scary me...

Mari i missed the last line of your post........

i would be very wary of installing something released only 2 weeks ago unless it is a specifically targeted "bug fix release" i.e., not a lot of new testing needed, besides the fix areas and sanity checks (oh and they did that so well with Snow Leopard, eh? )

Lion MAY have been released to fix precisely the bugs you are seeing in Snow Leopard... i would advise looking at the Lion release notes to see what bugs or improvements are included.

One last observation, from its release number, 10.7 (rather than 10.6.4), Lion seems like a full minor release and not a bug-fix release. However, sometimes they bump the numbering scheme to the next minor release to encourage ppl to upgrade from an icky release.

In any since, you are having problems, you could certainly try the upgrade, and if that doesn't improve things, go back to the previous version you were using.

these are generalities i have seen with various products, both those i've used and those i've worked on. Apple users may be aware of differences i am not, in how Apple does things.

Waves,
That is helpful. I will look at the Lion release notes.

I started to look at the Apple boards. People are talking about the Lion version being the transition to Apple's brand new operation system.

Lion is out in Beta version. Some have problems. They are talking about backing up to the the previous install as you mentioned.
That is tricky for me. I don't want to do that -- especially since I did not back up with Time Machine before I did the install of Snow Leopard.
Hubby could do a reinstall on his own computer, but he can't do it for mine. The mouse is ok today. Maybe I need to find an Apple person to do the reinstall for me.

I need to sit on this for a while.
