Good evening, all. I'm highly skeptical that this is going to do any good, but just because I want to say I've made the effort, I'm getting ready to do a clean install of lion. While I'm doing all my prep work: cloning to external drives to make sure I don't lose anything, I'm going to listen to Mike's podcast on Lion. I just wanted to write to the group, though, because I'm curious how I'll go about putting back apps. Can I restore them from the cloned drives, or do I have to actually reinstall things? More than anything else, I'm concerned about the Acapella voices I purchased to use with my mac, but wouldn't mind tips about adium, skype and things of that nature. Also, how do I back up my Itunes purchases. Granted, I've only made two of them, but I don't want to lose them. What about Growl and Yorufukuru? Will I just get those from the app store again? I've got 2 external drives handy, so I'm backing up not only my current lion install, but also my perfect and up-to-date SL install. That way, if the clean install still isn't satisfactory, I can put everything back the way it was. Any advice will be extremely appreciated. I just keep reminding myself that there's no way I can possibly render the mac entirely useless, but I don't want to lose any apps, especially not ones that cost money. So, if anyone has any instructions to share, I would be extremely greatful. Also, once I use my CD, will lion be able to update itself to 7.2? OK. Sorry for the rambling, disjointed message. I just am trying this to give Lion another chance to get into my good graces. Thank you all very much for your time, and I hope that everyone is having a great day! Missy
