This finally got updated (I think it's been the same since Leopard).

The Exposé pane in Snow Leopard's System Preferences uses the Snow Leopard Aurora image.

You're right! They look so similar to me when they're that small. In any case, I hope all the L or SL Aurora pics go away. I never liked either one of those.
 
Isn't that Mission Control bug caused by a graphics card memory corruption bug that's around since Snow Leopard? The bug mostly shows up when switching from full screen to windowed or vise versa. I don't have Lion here so I can't test it myself, but the bug might be in the graphics card driver as not everybody seems to be affected by it. I'm using an early '08 2.4 GHz MBP here with nVidia 8600m GT.

The operative words in that paragraph are as follows: "nVidia 8600m GT".

The GPU is the bane of Apple's and every Mac users existence - it'll be all linked back to the design flaws, faulty gpu etc.

Btw, I noticed artifacts and corruption with my x3100 which also showed up when running Windows - it was a borken GPU, you may find it is a similar situation with particular scenarios setting off the problem.
 
My Usually Dopey Question

I've read a number of posts referencing the Lion Login Page.

When I start my MBP 15", or come out of sleep, I go directly to Desktop.

Will I have to Login on every start-up with Lion?

I'm embarrassed at such a simple minded question - but since you folks know stuff and I don't - I'll ask the question anyway.

Thanks...

You haven't set a password, have you? Only then you will see the login-screen.

no, you have auto-login on right now. that won't change.

No, you see the login screen if automatic login is off.
 
is the startup bug fixed. because before there was an issue supposedly when it was finished installing it would just freeze.
 
But will they fix the complete cluster**** that is the sidebar?

MobileMe account + Gmail account = total mess

Please don't take offense - I mean this sincerely....

I will never accuse you again of blind allegiance to "all things Apple", nor be silent if I see someone else make the accusation.
 
I'm having a problem in Safari and the two-finger "back" gesture. It works for several pages and then randomly it ceases to work. I restart Safari and the process starts over. Frustrating.
 
Good news!

My MacBook Pro is older and, this update seems to make most everything a little smoother. MOST everything. Maybe the drivers are getting the final touches.
 
Mail not working on DP4

Ever since installing DP4 I can't get the Mail app to work. It just gives me the beach ball and I have to force quit.

I was hoping the update to DP4 would fix this problem but it hasn't. Anybody else have this problem?

The only mail account I have is my MobileMe account on the Mail app.

Still no Rosetta?

No problem -
I've posted this before. You've obviously been a mac guy for some time - simply keep 10.5 or 10.6 on a partition somewhere so you can boot to it as needed. Small external drives are cheap, or you might have a hard drive laying around.

One clear benefit over win machines is the option key on boot to select boot partition.
:cool:

You can't use the existing mail data files in ~/Library/Mail in the new version of Mail
Delete or rename that folder and then start mail. It will download your messages from MobileMe again.
 
Thanks

Thank you Flowsy and Sky Blue. I really appreciate your taking the time to answer my question.

I know my questions are simple-minded and I appreciate that you techno-savvy folks treat my questions with respect. I learn so much here on MR, and it's because people here are patient with the uninitiated.
