Where can i get osx lion

Hi i have a macbook pro that came with osx lion and would like to uprgade my white macbook 2008 to osx lion 10.7 But i upgraded my macbook pro to 10.8 and i don't have osx lion on a cd or flash drive where can i purchase osx lion

Lion is still available from Apple. You will have to call Apple Customer Care 1-800-692-7753 or 1-800-676-2775. to purchase it. Then within 3 days you will get an email with a code which you can use to download Lion from the App Store. The price is $19.99.
You must have at least a Late 2006 model 2,1 MacBook.
Lion will require at least 2gb of RAM but really needs 4gb to run smoothly.
As for third party programs see this list for compatibility with 10.7 http://roaringapps.com/apps:table
Also Lion doesn't run any Power PC programs. To see if you have any Power PC programs go to the Apple in the upper left corner and select About This Mac, then click on More Info. When System Profiler comes up select Applications under Software. Then look under Kind to see if any of your applications are listed as Power PC. Universal and Intel will run under Lion.
Before Mac switched to Intel processors in 2006 they used Power PC processors from 1994 to 2005. Power PC 601 through 604, G3, G4 and G5. Applications written for the Power PC processors need the application called Rosetta to run on Intel processors. This was part of the Operating System in 10.4 and 10.5 but was an optional install in 10.6. With 10.7 Lion Apple dropped all support for Power PC applications.

Bought OSX Lion on Family pack have purchased new hard drive where can I get OSX lion now

Had a family Pack under Aplle where we shared all updates on OS X one computer has installed new hard drive but no copy available now for OSX lion How do we solve this problem?

Not sure what you purchased as a "family pack", but Lion does not have that option available. However, if you purchase it from the app store, then the license authorizes you to download it as often as needed on any computer YOU own and control. Since it is tied to your Apple ID (the ID used to purchase it), no one else can download it. Even if you gave other family members your Apple ID to use, it would be violating the licensing requirements and be considered software piracy.
If you installed a new hard drive on your computer or another computer you own, it should be available. Since this is a new blank hard drive, you may need to reinstall the original system (Snow Leopard?) and then go back to the app store as you need to have SL installed to download Lion. If you made a bootable clone of the old drive, you could simply clone that back.

My iMac Seagate 1T hard drive crashed. I replaced it with a Western Digital 1T hard drive. Where can I get the Lion OS?

My iMac Seagate 1T hard drive crashed. I replaced it with a Western Digital 1T hard drive. Where can I get the Lion OS?
The iMac comes up with a ? in a folder, even after starting with Option/Command/R keys pressed.
Please help.

Call Apple to purchase replacement discs or order a copy of Snow Leopard from Apple's Online Store. Follow these instructions:
Drive Preparation and Install Snow Leopard
1. 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.
2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the drive in DU's status area. If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing. SMART info will not be reported on external drives. Otherwise, click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
4. Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the drive entry) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
5. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Security button, check the button for Zero Data and click on OK to return to the Erase window.
6. Click on the Erase button. The format process can take up to several hours depending upon the drive size.
7. When completed quit DU and return to the installer. Install Snow Leopard. Once you boot from Snow Leopard you should open Software Update and install all the available updates required. After you complete this and restart the computer open the App Store application in the Dock or Applications folder.
8. Sign into the App Store with your Apple ID and password. Purchase and download Lion.
9. After Lion's installer downloads, install Lion.

It is a very good price for a retail Leopard upgrade disc.
Beware that most of the discs you find on eBay are the grey, machine-specific System Install discs that shipped with computers already containing Mac OS 10.5. These will not work except for those exact same model Macs. Technically, these discs should only accompany the hardware with which they were sold and must never be sold separately.

Where can I buy OSX Lion?

Hello, where can I buy Lion? I cannot run Mountain Lion so I am going to get lion. Where is it avaliable? I don't want the one with the flashdrive and it is not avaliable on the app store.

Where can i find osx lion software

i cant find osx lion in the app store , only mountain lion which is not compatible with my imac

As you've noted, Lion is no longer available to download on the App Store, but you can phone Apple Store Sales and buy it. I believe they will issue you with a code that you can redeem online and then be able to download Lion.

i might be stupid, but i cant find osx lion which i paid for a year or so ago, all it shows is mountion lion which i would have to buy. anyone have any ideas as to how i can redownload lion osx, 10.7.5 thanks.

Hopefully, you saved a copy of that ill-designed installer which deletes itself during the installationi process, necessitating wasting resource DLing it over and over again. Sheer madness and toatlly anit-green in behavior.

Where can I get the Lion Designer 3 app to download

I've been hearing about this the Lion Designer 3 software to change your dashboard and your log in screen for people who have MAC commputers or laptops. I went on the APP store and typed it in and no search was found. I went to a web site, and it wanted me to make a donation to download the Lion Designer software. I just want to download it for free so I can change my dasboard wallpaper plus my log in screen as well on my Macbook Pro without going through it the hard way example where you have to use one of your pictures and put it in a a "PERILLI. png and the defaultdesktop.jpg stuff. It sometimes never works and your photos you use, will turn out in rows of sqaures as your wallpaper background.

You would be better off installing the current version of iTunes by going to http://www.apple.com/itunes/download

Where can I get current info on SysAdmin Certification(s) for Mac OSX SL and Lion?

Where can I get current info on SysAdmin Certification(s) for Mac OSX SL and Lion? The Apple website for this is "under construction" for weeks now...
Thanks,
[email protected]

Certification test for OS X 10.7 Lion are not available yet. I assume they will be nearly identical to the test of 10.5 and 10.6. Hopefully, the reason the certification website has been down for a while is that they are updating it with the new information. Though I really wouldn't expect any 10.7 certification test to be available for 2-4 months. Peachpit Press didn't publish their training material for 10.6 until October even though 10.6 was released in August.
As far as the 10.6 Certifications:
Certified Support Professional, 10.6 requires the 9L0-403 exam.
Certified Technical Coordinator, 10.6 requires the 9L0-403 as well as the 9L0-510 (Server Essentials) exams.
The information for the Certified System Administrator, 10.6 is "hidden" on the integral7 website but according to this Wikipedia entry, you need to pass the 9L0-510 Server Essentials exam as well as these three:
Directory Services
Deployment
Security and Mobility

Hi Mark,
You need to Update to OS X 10.6.8 = Snow Leopard so you can Update iTunes to Sync your iPhone.
Upgrading to Snow Leopard = OS X 10.6.x
It is Not available as a download... It is a Paid Upgrade.
Do this first...
Check that your Mac meets the System Requirements for Snow Leopard...
Snow Leopard Tech Specs
http://support.apple.com/kb/SP575
If so... Purchase a Snow Leopard Install Disc...

After the Successful Install, run Software Update to get the latest updates for Snow Leopard and iTunes.
Be sure to make a Backup of your Current System Before Upgrading...
