anyone know how to sort out scrolling. Its all reversed. To scroll up you have to scroll down etc. Very confusing set up and counter intuitive? Why change such fundamental elements, like not enabling 3 finger swipes in safari. People will have to take lessons in how to use Lion. Somethings don't feel wright. They have made the os more complex not less! How am I going to teach this to my mum, nan gran act. The will not get it! Any of it!

System Preferences > Trackpad > 'When using gestures to scroll or navigate, move content in the direction of finger movement'

Un-tick that.

If you're using a mouse, i'm not sure, as i'm on a MacBook. Look under the mouse preferences pane if so.
 
Update Broke Safari

Safari will not launch after this update.



Mac Pro Tower
2x2.8 Ghz Quadcore Xeon
20 GB Ram
 
Safari still freezes all content when 90+ tabs are open. It's basically useless with high load. I hope this gets fixed until release, otherwise I'll have to postpone upgrading to Lion, just because of the Safari issue. It feels like Webkit2 needed more development time than Lion and trying to release them together was a bad idea.
 
Safari is bugging me!!!! Why dose it need to bounce the pages everywhere! The animations are not even smooth and nice! And that goes for the entire OS! Come on if the iPhone can look smooth and crisp, why can't my desecrate graphics do it. Mac osx isn't evolving enough graphically! Launch pad and mission control are smooth snappy and agin SMOOTH!! But menu bars, hidden docks, spaces, and scrolling around safari is horrible! The bounce at the top of pages every time you scroll is useless, none elegant, crap!!!!! I feel like I'm on an ibook g3 with 8gb video ram, 10 years ago!!!!!! Come on apple!

(Typo! 8mb Video Ram ;)
 
Spotlight searches show little previews off to the side if you hover over the results. But I think this may have already been in DP3. Nice touch, though.

If it's a document the preview allows you to scroll through it.
 
I agree with BlackMangoTree. I did the same thing as you, but found the opposite to be true. I couldn't work in Lion for more than an hour or two before I got frustrated with not being able to perform basic tasks without glitches and bugs, and would end up booting back into SL. DP4 seemed to straighten out the vast majority of that, and after running it for a couple of days on my secondary partition I plunged into the void and upgraded my primary partition. This update has seemed like a step backward so far, however. Basic things like swiping between pages in Safari are not working now, and they were before.

Yup but I have never liked Safari and use Chrome as my primary browser so not come that as an issue for me. I have upgraded and not a single frustration yet today and I have just put FCP on this machine as I am going to be using it on location and all good so far.
 
Things that have not been fixed or remain the same as 10.7 Beta 4

* Dark Linen login screen only shows on 1 screen not Dual :mad:

* About this Mac is the same on a MacPro as the about this Mac in 10.6 :rolleyes:

* Update Removes iCloud pref :mad:

* MobileMe Pref does not open :mad:

* Still lose 1 Screen when any program is in full screen mode :mad:

For the new About this Mac you need to click on More Info.

90 tabs??

How is that even productive?
 
Nope, you're not alone, and it's creeping in everywhere... Lion, iOS. It just seems so un-Apple to me, more like the kind of thing everyone Oooo!ed and Ahhh!ed about when Windows 95 came out. Apple seems to be adopting more and more virtual interface designs, the new Calendar.app is probably the most obvious example. It maybe looks more breakthrough on iOS devices where it hasn't been seen before, but on a Mac I just find it a bit gimmicky and inconsistent.

Corkboard in iphotos, wood panels in ibooks, linen and new ribbons in photobooth. Add that to the cheesy sound options in iOS. For some reason Apple is trying to introduce gimmicky chintz into their system and its out of place.
 
No you can't. That option is gone in DP4 or at least it's gone for me.

It's the unchecked option labelled "Scroll with finger direction" on the attached screenshot

Didn't you know that's how some people browse porn nowadays? :D

Actually I must say I never open more than 10 tabs when I browse porn.

90 tabs isn't for porn, it's for news stories. Open 10-15 sites like macrumors, then start command+clicking to every story that interests you, and before you know it you have tons of stories open in tabs.

And bam, Safari is frozen, you can't do anything, other than close all tabs and start over, this time with less tabs.

Firefox usually crashes with that many tabs, but Safari 5 has absolutely no problems with high load. I once opened 200 tabs just to see if it can hold it, it does.

But 5.1 i.e. Webkit2 isn't polished enough yet. The whole premise of Webkit2 is to make Safari perform better under high load, because it sandboxes all content, apart from Safari application itself. In 5.0 if you open 90 tabs, it works, but the application is quite slow in response, in 5.1 the application works nicely but the content doesn't.

This wouldn't be a bug if Safari 5 performed the same way, but this is a step back. The only reason I use Safari as my primary browser is its stability under very high load. I don't want to lose that in Webkit2.
 
@iBug2

How's the Flash Player Plugin performing while having open more than 90 tabs? Did you check in the activity monitor?

I use click2flash. I never have it active.

But I tried 90+ tabs with javascript disabled as well, and there's no difference. With or without javascript all content is frozen.
 
The update is definitely on the right track. The stability of the OS is greatly improved and it's is getting to a production state in a very rapid paste. All that is great news because honestly I was getting worried about the OS being ready in time for the launch. There are a few more problems that need to be resolved however, Launchpad is finally working and a few other annoyances have been fixed.
 
spaces in mission control has a weird numbering bug still.. i have desktop 1,3,2,4,5,6 instead of 1,2,3,4,5,6
 
Unwelcome changes

WHAT! Have they really removed the coolest Safari feature or is something wrong with my setup? The sliding page thing is now gone and safari acts just like the old one and yes it does say it's version 5.1. What a bummer. Also some of the fixes made gestures a bit worst then before. Yeah it was a bug and all but before I could go back and forward with either a 2 or 3 finger gesture … not so now. Oh well the latter one I can live with but for crying out loud bring the page sliding thing back.
