Anyone using Adobe CS5.5 on Lion 10.7? After I search in Google it seems that there's some compatibility issue, I wondering can CS4 be use in Lion?

i think this should be a common problem for cs5, 5.5 users on osx lion.. i am using cs5 master suite and i just couldnt get it t work.. it keeps asking me for the serial number. still trying to troubleshoot this issue....

How do you find all your network drives in iMac?
On the previous OSX SL, I can find in when opening iFinder and all the network drives will be displayed there. Now after upgrade to Lion, can't use this method any more.

One more question, how to do mapping of network drives??

Thanks.

Yo, can anyone help?
I have a Buffalo NAS at home, and using the same home network (WIFI/LAN), it should show as a network drive/folder. my NAS requires authetication to access. However, nowadays most of the time it did not show on my MacBook Air Lion.. If it did somehow show, i cannot connect (even though i already saved my NAS login credentials)..

My question is, is the programme "Mackeeper" any good? Googled and received both positive and negative feedbacks. Was wondering any experts here use or used it before

Reformat Mac Partition only (w/ Bootcamp)

Is it possible to reformat my mac partition only by using the disk utility in the install disk to delete the mac partition and then reinstall mac on the partition, and then use bootcamp as per normal?

I know some people will say there is no need to do that for a mac... but I just want to clear out all of my softwares + data and install those that I need only. It's been 3 years, some stuff is really junk and dont worry, I backed up all those data that I needed.

 

[davi502]

Yes, so long you erase only the Mac partition.

Reinsert the CD, or if you mounted it from a dmg, remount it.

Assign new keys to move to trash

hi all, i know the shortcut for moving to trash is Cmd+Del.

I would like to assign another set of hotkeys to delete, so that i only use my left hand, and my right hand can remain on the mouse/trackpad.

any idea how i can do it ?

I have already added the "Delete" button in my finder.. prefer to use keyboard shortcuts instead.. any help ? Thanks !
