As Mac owners scramble to install and try out the new OS X 10.7 Lion release, the inevitable installation glitches and bug reports also begin flowing in.\u00a0 Here’s a brief rundown of the\u00a0 issues I’ve heard about around the scratching post:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Install Failed message, complaining that a recovery system couldn’t be created.\u00a0 At least one person<\/a> claims he tracked this down to having Windows installed via Boot Camp in its own partition and formatted with the NTFS file system.\u00a0 The Lion installer attempts to update a boot.ini file in the Windows partition, but can only do so if it was formatted as FAT32.\u00a0 Unfortunately, if this is your problem, you’re facing having to erase the whole Windows partition to restore it from backup or recreate it later.<\/li>\n
  2. The new Launchpad view won’t let users delete any applications from it that weren’t initially purchased from the App Store.<\/li>\n
  3. Users of Logic Pro are finding that when exiting full-screen mode, it basically leaves a copy of itself displayed as the desktop background.<\/li>\n
  4. Owners of the Apple USB 56K modem dongle will find it is no longer supported<\/a>.<\/li>\n
  5. Some issues have been reported with RAID arrays, including claims that Lion is not installing properly on a software RAID 0 array created with a previous version of OS X.\u00a0 (Other issues likely involve a lack of Lion compatible drivers for a given hardware RAID card.)<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    \"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

    All in all, these bugs aren’t too unexpected or reputation damaging for a new OS release, but Apple should do its best to address them as quickly as they can if they want to try to make OS X Lion the king of the digital jungle.<\/p>\n

    We apologize for this article’s horrible use of cat puns.<\/p>\n
