Hi,


Thanks for taking time to read my post.


I'm having 3 issues since upgrading to Lion, and now, it's potentially income threatening, so I had to ask some questions.


Issue #1

I'm a pro Photographer, I use Google Apps and their calendar, but I do some of my scheduling out of iCal, as in throw on an appointment here and there.

• I enter all the information for the appointment into iCal, time, date, location, etc, click done, calendar refreshes

• I look on my phone and confirm the appointment and all the info has synced correctly

• Within a few hours, the appointment information is skewed... on both my phone and iCal

• the times of the event are deleted and instead changed to an "all day event" - all timing information is gone

• the date is sometimes changed, either ahead or behind a day

• If I correct the information from iCal and it once again gets skewed in a few hours

•If I correct the information on my wife's mac from iCal, it gets skewed again in a few hours

• If I correct the information on my phone, the calendar is updated and corrected, and does not get skewed

• No duplicate accounts in gmail or on the machine

• Any entries or edits done in iCal are updated correctly, and then somehow modified afterward.

• Any entries in my phone or on Google calendar directly, no auto-magical changes.


What am I doing wrong?



Issue #2



I have the early 2010 MBP - i7 2.66GHz, 8GB RAM, and I installed an OWC 240GB SSD a few weeks after I got it in June last year. Machine runs fine 90% of the time since clean Lion install - formatted drive using USB stick, loaded OS from USB stick.


• Machine locks up when sleeping and unplugged from power supply

• Updated firmware for drive based on OWC recommendation

• Machine still locks up when sleeping and unplugged from power supply

• Set machine to NEVER go to sleep when unplugged, and now browser locks up requiring force-quit to recover.


What am I doing wrong?



Issue #3



I tried FF4 when it was introduced in SL. It was fine, except it crashed constantly. Went back to FF3, and all is right with the world. Now, on Lion, the browser locks up requiring a force quit almost 10 times in a day of use. Tried FF5, or whatever it is that's out now, and it was worse than 4 was in SL.



Any suggestions?


Thanks so much for the help guys.

-Joe
