Notebook 10.8 +Mac OS Lion+SB 880

[DDM]

I just finish training a group of fellow teachers on the skills in Notebook Level 1. I am very happy to report that all went well. Lion and Notebook 10.8 did very well together. I divided the presentation into 8 small files and used only the already made examples in the Lesson Activity Toolkit instead of risking a crash because of too many flash items. 10.8 seems like it is a very stable version of Notebook. One thing I am noticing is that I do have to orient the board everyday even though it has not been moved. Needless to say I was very pleasantly surprised.

Please do ;) Thanks

Are these compatibility issues going to be resolved? We just switched to Macs (with snow leopard) and that has been a challenge. But Lion sounds worse!

What issues are you running into with Snow Leopard?

Here it is January of 2012 and the issues still occur with Lion.  For the record, I'm trying to run Notebook 10.8.238.0 on a MacBook with OS 10.6.8 and Adobe Flash (11.1.102.55).  Why is this still crashing?

So here's an update... 

I uninstalled all Smart products, rebooted, installed Notebook 10.8 and rebooted and it's now working to open the files that were crashing before.  Definitely related to Adobe Flash.

Actually, there is some partial support for lion.  If you look further through this post you will find the patches to fix flash and orientation and crashes on lion.  I am currently running lion 10.7.2 with the smart product patches patches, and it is very stable.  I would even say that it is definitely more stable than 10.7 notebook on snow leopard.  Like I said, look through this post and you will find the 3 patches.

I did and applied them too, but it seems to be related (as someone else had posted) to the sequence.  Install Flash first, then Notebook.

Oh, I see that your trying to patch 10.6.8 which is snow leopard, while those patches were only intended for Mac OS 10.7.  That may be your problem.

Another fix for flash in Notebook is to

1. Navigate to Macintosh HD-Library-Application Support folder

2. Click once on Macromedia folder.  CLick on file-get info

3. (Click on the padlock to unlock).  Choose read/write for all users/everyone.

4.Click on the wheel icon located at the bottom of the window and choose to apply to enclosed files.
