Lion problems

As of late, after recent updates of SL and FW, I’ve had an issue where resizing a html block with image using the mouse doesn’t work. Must resize using the panel settings and use fit image command. A quit and restart of FW fixes the issue, but it will pop up again at some later date. Not using Lion as yet.

peter is going to try and save some of ya’ll a great deal of suffering.
i am a big fan of apple, i like steve, i own several of his machines, and Lion is not ready for prime time, and here’s why (in part).

go to wikipedia, look up Rosetta, see how cool it is (VERY !!), then realize it is GONE from Lion.
you will not be running any ppc apps on your Lion machine.
it’s all there in the first paragraph on wikipda.
deeper info at lowendmac.com also.

sure, you may not miss appleworks 6.xxx ,
(i happen to use appleworks … every time i don’t want Pages to ruin an outline for me.)

and you may not miss Illustrator-10, but i use that too. because illustrator CS-5 is $500 dollars, while I-10 is nearly free and works just fine for what i do.

i am old. (and probably the last one on this list to play Descent-II under snow leopard.)

for those stuck with Lion already, apple has released a blizzard of downloads. steve’s boys will fix it. they’re good, and they always get it eventually. but Lion ain’t good-to-go yet, by a L-o-n-g shot …

i’ve said enough, have a nice morning.

Rosetta (software) - Wikipedia

It was also all over the web for weeks before Lion was even released, and shouldn’t have come as much of a surprise to anyone. I’m not going to get into one of those good/isn’t good arguments, but I think it’s a little disingenuous to state that we’re going to be in for ‘a great deal of suffering’ if we use Lion, without also appending ‘in my opinion’ to the end of it. For myself, moving to Lion has made just about everything I do a lot smoother, but I wouldn’t dream of saying ‘Start to use Lion and your problems will all be over’, even though that’s exactly what I’ve found.

best wishes,

I have the refresh problem in FW, I thought it was probably my old powermac G5 running X.5.8. FW preview just won’t update unless I quit FW and the browsers, then it’s okay for a while. But it always seems to come back.

So back to the original question - is anybody else experiencing this issue with FW and Snow Leopard. I’m Using OS X 10.6.8 and FW 5.6.0 The whole quit and relaunch sequence is getting a bit old now.

I have not updated the OS or FW and it’s like a switch has been flipped and FW is acting weird. The only thing that has changed is that I have updated my Creative Suite to CS5.5 this past week - could it be that there is something from the Adobe install that is conflicting with FW

It’s not something that will be ‘fixed’. PPC applications will never be
supported in Lion.
