How do I copy the Mac OS Lion after upgrading?

How do I copy the Mac OS Lion after upgrading. I upgraded to OS Lion and now I want to do clean install because my macbook became slower since i installed lion.
Please, help! Thanks.

You need to get on a Snow Leopard system, log into the App Store with your Apple ID, then download the Lion installer. The re-download is free. After the installer is downloaded it will start automatically. Now, quit the installer. You can now make a copy of the installer that you will find in the Applications folder.
Now, you also may be able to get this to work: Open the App Store application. Hold down the OPTION key while clicking on the Purchases icon in the toolbar. This is supposed to activate the Install button to the right of your Lion purchase entry. Clicking the Install button will then re-download the Lion installer.

  • How can I copy the purchased OSX Lion to my MacPro?

    According to the license conditions I am entitled to copy my purchased version OSX Lion from my iMac to my MacPro. Can anybody please let me know how? Thanks in advance, Theo.

    As has been previously mentioned. on a new machine -i.e. lion not installed - just go to the MAS and use the same Apple id and you should be able to download it.
    On a Machine with Lion installed.
    Open the App Store.
    Hold Down the option key and while it's held down select Purchase.
    Now Install Mac OS X LIon should show "Install" instead of "Installed" this will allow you to download a new copy of the installer.
    You can then save it and make a DVD etc
    and/or
    Copy it to another machine to install it there.

  • How do I remove the double calendar entries after upgrading to ios5?

    Upgraded to ios5 today on an iPhone 4.  I'm now getting double calendar entries.  It's not carrying over to my Mac though.  Any ideas how to rid my phone of them?  Thanks!

    I was having the same problem and even started deleting some of the double entries. I went into the "calendars" tab on the top left of the screen inside the calendar app and found that the appointments from my Mac calendars were being displayed along with (scroll down) all the appointments from the iCloud calendars (which are a mirror or backup of the appointments from my Mac). I turned-off the iCloud calendars and the problem was fixed. I guess if I am coordinating appointments from several devices (iPhone and iPad or several family iPhones) I would just leave the iCloud calendars on and turn off my Mac calendars. Otherwise, I'm not sure what's happening here. Any other ideas?

  • How do I remove the duplicates that appeared after upgrading to iTunes Plus

    I upgraded some of my music to the itunes plus (better quality?) and chose to send the old files to the recycle bin. All went well. The new files were added in itunes and there were no duplicates. Later we synced an ipod touch and when asked if we wanted to transfer purchases from the itouch before syncing my son responded yes. This created duplicates of the songs. The problem is ..... How do I tell which is the upgraded song so I can delete the old version?

    There are various ways of doing it.
    If you go to View>>Options and ensure that "Kind" is checked, old tracks will usually say "Protected AAC..." whereas the iTunes Plus tracks as shown as "Purchased AAC".
    You can use this information in a smart play list to get all the tracks you don't want together for easy deletion.
    You can also Look at Get info>>Summary tab.
    Oldtracks will generally have 128 bit rate and an M4p file extension. iTunes Plus tracks have 256 bit rate and an M4a file extension.

    Hi
    Given that your answer to 1. is 'pre-installed' and 3. is 'No', I think the only thing to do is to take it to an Apple store (ideally the one you bought it from) and have them reinstall it for you.
    The intended solution in cases like yours is that you should be able to reboot and install even a wiped disk by using Apple's servers over the internet (you do this by restarting with 'command-r' and choosing 'reinstall Lion'). However if this isn't working for you then you need to get the store to do it. Don't let them fob you off with 'go home and try again'. Have them do it in the shop (you're still covered by Applecare warranty so it should cost you nothing save the inconvenience of the trip and possibly leaving the machine there while they fix it).
    A reinstall should leave all your own personal data and programs in place.
    Note for future: when you get it fixed, first thing to do is buy a cheap external drive and start keeping a backup (either Time Machine or clone with Carbon Copy Cloner).

  • How do I copy the drum track from my iphone over to my mac

    Hello - I just bought an iphone and downloaded Garageband. I noticed that my iphone version of GB has some really useful drum loops that are not present on my Mac. How can I copy the drum loops from my iphone to my mac, which is where I do most of my recording? I don't want to just send them to itunes because they lose some functionality that way.
    Thanks!

    you would need to export the project. these instructions are for iPad, but i believe the steps are very similar, if not the same:

  • How do i copy The iMovie video from Mac, to iPad mini?

    How do i copy The iMovie video from Mac, to iPad mini?

    The easiest way is to firstly export the movie to iTunes (Share > iTunes), then sync the iPad Mini with iTunes. In iTunes, include your movie as an item to be synced. After syncing, on the iPad it will appear in the Videos app. That's how I do it for my wife's Mini.
    If you need help with exporting or with syncing to iTunes, please post back.
    I'm caught up with something else at the moment, otherwise I'd give you full instructions now (just wanted to get this to you quickly).

    Have you tried booting from the Recovery HD to reinstall Lion?
    Boot to the Recovery HD:
    Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    You will need the Apple ID and password used to purchase Lion. If you have not purchased Lion, then you will need to purchase the Snow Leopard DVD and install Snow Leopard then update it to 10.6.8 to access the App Store where you can purchase and download Lion under your own Apple ID. Or you can purchase the Apple USB Lion installer flash drive at any local Apple retailer or the Online Store.

    Does your Mac meet the requirements?
    Lion 10.7 System Requirements
        •    Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7, or Xeon processor (most models released since late 2006 - early Intel-based Macs with Core Solo or Core Duo processors aren't compatible)
        •    2GB of memory (recommend at least 4GB -- and ideally even more, as you'll see benefits in many computing tasks)
        •    OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended) for Lion download from Apple App Store; or Leopard 10.5.x if using Lion on USB drive
        •    7GB of available space (10GB recommended)

  • How do I retrieve downloaded copy of MAC OS Lion so that I can install on my other mac

    A while back I purchased an online copy of os Lion downloaded it and installed on iMac. Recently managed to upgrade my MacBook Pro to Snow leopard in prep for also upgrading the MacBook pro to OS Lion.  Cannot now find my downloaded (and paid for) copy of MAC OS Lion.  Can you help?

    After following QuickTimeKirk's instructions.  After the download, you should find "Install Mac OS X Lion" in the Applications folder.  You can copy this to any other system you own or control and install Lion.

  • How do I download the Mac App Store using OS X 10.5.8

    how do I download the Mac App Store using OS X 10.5.8

    Well, you can cancel your Snow Leopard order if it hasn't already shipped. You need not wait on it as you can download Mountain Lion now that you have a redemption coupon (I assume that's what you meant by the email.)
    After Mountain Lion is installed you can download a free copy of Mavericks. This all assumes that your computer meets the requirements for Mountain Lion.
    Before you do any upgrade I strongly urge you to do this:
    Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
    Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer.
    If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
    Personally, I would erase the hard drive then install the new OS X version. First, make a backup of your files from which you can later restore.

    It sounds like you destroyed your boot partition and the recovery partition.  Depending on it's age, your MacBook Air might be able to do a net boot.  Plug and ethernet connection into it and attempt to boot.  If it has the right firmware, it will find a net boot configuration on the net and boot that.  Then it will give you a Recovery Partition like display and allow you to reinstall the OS X version that came with it.... assuming that it was Lion or ML.  If your computer came with Snow Leopard, then even the net boot won't work. 
    At that point you need a bootable USB Key, or an external DVD drive AND a Snow Leopard installation DVD. 
    An Apple Store, if there is one nearby, MAY be able to get you going again.  However, whatever is on the SSD now will be toast too.

  • !0.5.8 How do I copy the 'system' form one internal Hard drive to an other (BY CD Packed up) Thank you

    !0.5.8 How do I copy the 'system' form one internal Hard drive to an other (BY CD Packed up)  I have tried but it will no show 'live' system folder - do and how can I bless it ? Thank you

    Carbon Copy Cloner will allow you to de-select directory trees, so you could use it to copy over everything EXCEPT the /Users directory tree.
    Mac OS X is NOT just the System Folder.  If you do not copy over the rest of Mac OS X, it will not boot.  So better to exclude Users and take everything else, then it is to try and pick and choose.
    The other approach is to install a New Mac OS X, and then copy over the stuff you want from the home folder(s) and reinstall any apps you want.

  • How do I copy the entire contents of my laptops failing hard drive to copy back onto a new computer.

    How do I copy the entire contents of my laptops failing hard drive to copy back onto a new computer.

    If the drive has failed the only way to get any data off it is to send it to a Data Recovery company. Which is very expensive and no guaranty they will be able to retrieve any data.
    That is why Apple has included a system to backup your Mac on a regular basis, Time Machine. Also there are other Apps to do basically the same thing by Cloning your internal drive to an external drive. Carbon Copy Cloner and SuperDuper. Along with using Disk Utility to Image the internal drive to an external drive.
    Sorry to tell you but if the drive has really failed your Data is gone unless you pay a large sum of money to one of the Data recovery companies.
