Most Lion upgrades reported to be going well, but …

A few Lion users want to switch back to the earlier Snow Leopard release.

"In my eagerness to upgrade I didnt check that all my essential apps would work (idiot)," . "I have massive problems with photoshop and illustrator, buggy, crashing etc. Checked java as in the faq but still no luck; I need to go back to snow leopard until this gets sorted by adobe, quickly as I have to finish some work this weekend. ... Is this possible without doing a fresh install, as I have 150gb-ish of projects on the main drive and moving to an external is going to take some time."

The Wi-Fi connection problem seems ongoing for at least some Lion users. Several say they've had lengthy sessions with Apple staff at Apple's retail stores without solving the problem.

"Since installing Lion on both my IMac and MacBook Pro, the WiFi cycles (wifi icon on the menu bar) -- looking for network -- network on -- looking for network," . "The AirPort Utility log shows lots of connection activity but I don't know if that means anything. The network troubleshooter says theres no problem but it's causing big problems with connection speed and applications that need a constant connection are giving me network errors constantly."

"Yeah, this has to be a bug," posted JamesWinans. "I installed Lion on my Mac Mini yesterday. Prior to the upgrade, I had zero connection issues. Since I upgraded to Lion, my WiFi connection has been up and down constantly. I hope Apple addresses this soon. I know the Wifi is fine, because my , , and other computers can still get to the internet without issue. Just the Lion computer. No bueno!"
