A disk for restoring those apps should have been included with your Pro. After a clean install of Lion you should just be able to put in that disk and install them again.

Did something happen to cut and paste that I did not hear about? It appears to be disabled again.
EDIT:
Nope. There does appear to be a "Move Item Here". I had just assumed that when I heard about cut + paste, it would actually involved cutting and pasting, not copying + moving 'here'.

So nobody is annoyed of not being able to manual order aka drag&drop spaces and fullscreen apps in mission control. I always end up in complete different mission control each time, not finding anything. Thats my major complaint.

And i found Launchpad unusable since i am not willed to sort over 400 Apps (even deinstalling Apps for some Apps and other stupid stuff) while not even being able to remove icons from it. Which sense does it have either way? Most important Apps are in the dock & Spotlight Application Launch is way faster – it's just there to give it a small more iPad feel.

Here is a question I have before upgrading:

When I bought my MBP couple months ago, it came with FaceTime, iMovie, Garageband, iPhoto, etc. Will I get those with Lion or I have to purchase them separately?

and is there instruction on how to do a clean installation of Lion?

thanks

You will keep all the apps you mentioned.

Honestly though, me and my friend both ran straight upgrades and haven't had any issues, clean installs aren't really necessary

Is it just me or is is Mission Control pretty much Expose, only now they've given it a normal name and installed in on the dock so most people will find it. It does absolutely nothing different that it did in Leopard.

I was never a fan of Spaces, but thats still there, just called 'Desktop 1' and 'Desktop 2' now.

Launch pad, just another pointless way to open your applications? Is the Dock, Applications folder, Spotlight, or just good old Finder not enough for everyone?

---

On the plus side Mac Mail has improved. I would have been nice if they could have actually added the option to use HTML though, or even a simple link display text like you get in Google Mail. Would that have actually been so hard?:confused:

---

All in all this is all shiny stuff, and there no substance to any of it. No really, nothing a long term mac user didn't already have at their disposal. I'm glad it was only £21.

I'm finding Gestures to be very choppy in Firefox but smooth in Safari. Also other apps don't seem to respond as fast as they did in SL. I'm hoping an update will correct some of that. Supposedly, experiences vary from very fast to much slower. I'm on a MB 2.4Ghz with 4GB RAM.

I haven't figured out how to use "Spaces" like I used to! I used to have apps open on specific spaces:mad:

jiggling apps in launchpad.

what's the point of when you're in launchpad and you click and hold an app icon or folder and it starts jiggling like in iOS, as if you can delete the app from launchpad? i don't see any x's on the apps, they just jiggle in place. any guesses?

thanks.

You're probably looking at apps that can not be deleted, such as iCal, App Store, iTunes etc… Third party apps can be deleted from Launchpad.

just wondering.. is there anyway to bring back the colored icons on the side of Finder? I'm not feeling the plain grey icons of Lion.

Same here. I sent feedback to Apple regarding this. I'd also like to see multiple files from one application organized time machine style while in Mission Control.

Is the Command + G shortcut working for everyone? Nothing happens when I try and select files to group them and I can't find the option in the shortcut editor : /

Dashboard calculator font changed :eek:

Also I swear I used to be able to clear it with ESC, but now that closes dashboard. I guess I'll learn to use the C key instead.

They took them out of iTunes back when 10 came out I think. Now a very similar scheme is in Finder. I find it very un-Apple-like visually. I don't know why they would do this esp. given all of the color everywhere else.

It suppose to show deletable apps from App Store only.

This feature is was a bit long to post in this forum, so I wrote up a little post about it.

https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/1192521/

It is basically a simplified interface for creating some regular expressions in the standard find panel, but without learning regular expressions. I worked on it as an intern on the Cocoa team.

Is it me or is the iTunes dashboard widget removed in Lion? I can't seem to find it in my Dashboard..

It doesn't show up in my dashboard widgets either. So I guess they removed it. I never really used it anyways.

Anyone been able to get AutoCorrect to work in Mac Mail?

It works for some words but doesn't for others.

If I type in "The quick brown fox jmped over" it will replace jmped with jumped.


Also, Is there any way to show the hidden Library folder by default on my home directory?
