Auto Download Window in OSX Lion

Another in a long series of questionable (and continuing) events has just started on my new iMac with OSX Lion. Each time I boot a window opens directing me to sign in to use this computer for automatic downloads. I've had my iMac since September and it has never opened this window before; I just reinstalled my OSX 10.7.2 because of continuing problems with the software and this window tasking has only started since the reinstall a week ago. Why does this occur now? How can I turn it off and download what I want when I want? Too bad I can't load Snow Leopard and dump Lion, but that's another situation...

See if this discussion addresses that dialog box; it's a long thread, read through it before trying anything.

Click here, buy a Mac OS X 10.6 DVD, install it, and run the Mac OS X 10.6.8 combo updater. You can then either buy Mountain Lion 10.8 from the Mac App Store or phone the online Apple Store and order a download code for Lion 10.7.

How can i run windows on osx lion

Hi, some programs don't run anymore on osx lion. So I would like to install windows. How do I need to proceed?
Thanks, Franklin

... don't run anymore
Upgrade when possible.
Downgrade back.
Dual boot 10.6 or even 10.5 (as old as your Mac came with) and Lion -
You can even have a Mac HFS data partition.
Instead of dual booting Windows.
Depends on what. You didn't mention. Or whether they are Windows alternatives that have to run natively. Or could be run in a VM guest OS - but have to share RAM and processor resource, which may not be feasible or run well enough.
Apps incompatible with OS X Lion
keep Snow Leopard when upgrading to Lion

Problem in Downloading and Reinstalling OSX Lion via recovery HD

I am using MBP 13 inch late 2011. I have erased my Macintosh HD. Now trying to reinstall OSx 10.7 using Recovery HD. Mac is perfectly connected to Wifi, as soon as i click "Continue" to reinstall the Mac OsX 10.7, it shows me this message "To Download and Restore Mac OSx, your computer's eligibility will be verified with Apple."
I clicked "Continue"... But after few seconds of loading it showed me message "Could not fing Installation Information for this machine-Contact Apple Care"
Why is it so???
My mac is only 9 months old... And Im in Pakistan.
Need help or suggestion. How can I download and reinstall OSx again..
Thanks

You will need to contact AppleCare about this issue as we are just users to users here and can't authorize a account/download of OS X.

In Lion the Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and hit the Enter button - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.
To open your domain file in Lion or to switch between multiple domain files Cyclosaurus has provided us with the following script that you can make into an Applescript application with Script Editor. Open Script Editor, copy and paste the script below into Script Editor's window and save as an application.
do shell script "/usr/bin/defaults write com.apple.iWeb iWebDefaultsDocumentPath -boolean no"delay 1
tell application "iWeb" to activate
You can download an already compiled version with this link: iWeb Switch Domain.
Just launch the application, find and select the domain file you want to open and it will open with iWeb. It modifies the iWeb preference file each time it's launched so one can switch between domain files.
WARNING: iWeb Switch Domain will overwrite an existing Domain.sites2 file if you select to create a new domain in the same folder. So rename your domain files once they've been created to something other than the default name.

Installing windows 7 osx Lion 10.7

Hie,
I'm having trouble installing Windows 7 Pro on a MacBook Pro (Intel 2009). First steps works great to 94% of unpackaging Windows files....
Then nothing, it's locked at this step.
The iso file is working great, i can install Seven in VMware but not via Boot Camp....
Any idea?
Thanks a lot
JC

Give a good reason why? because you tried and got an error message and don't understand it? because you don't have backup plan then you should take care of that.
The forum is littered with those that tried, some good knowledgable folks.
If your intent is to have 'extra' partitions, that can cause trouble and more complex.

OSx Lion Upgrade

I recently bought a MacBook Pro just under a week ago and I know I am eligible for a free download of the OSx Lion. Where do I go to receive this. I was told to go to the App Store but it only gives me the option to buy. Where do I go request the upgrade for free.

I believe this is what you're looking for. Hope it helps!

I have already installed Window-7 in my Mac (64 bit). When I downloaded window support software I every time saw network error option on my screen. But network working very well and I can brows webpage. Will someone suggest me support for OSx Lion .

If I remember right there "may" be a problem if you have a proxie settings enabled.
System Preferences/ Network/ Advanced/ Proxies. Can't remember which one or if it was an issue in 10.7 or 10.6. Just make sure their all unchecked and try again.
You might try a search in these forums for more information. Different fix's for different issue's.
Sorry I can't help more.........

HT5048 i want to download window 7 x64 driver for my macbook pro OSX Lion 10.7.3

Can you help me to share link to download Window 7 x64 drivers Macbook Pro OSX Lion 10.7.3

You would only damage the recovery partition if you repartitioned the drive. Simply erasing the volume is fine. (The drive and volume are often used interchangeably, but they're not. The drive is the physical device, encompassing everything on it, including all partitions. Each partition on the drive is a separate "volume." So the Macintosh HD on an out-of-the-box Mac is not actually the drive, it's a volume that takes up most of the drive.)
So, just erase with Disk Utility, then reinstall the system and as soon as the setup assistant starts, just quit that program and shut down the machine. When your brother turns it on, it will be as if he were turning it on for the first time.
Note that if you have any sensitive data, you may want to do a secure erase in Disk Utility instead of a normal erase. You may not need to keep your data safe from your brother, but you should consider what might happen if the machine were stolen from him, for example.

Error 0xc00000e9 when installing windows 7 on OSX lion

I have a mid 2011 model of macbook pro i7 15 inch , and i just upgraded to OSX lion from os leopard . I tried to install windows 7 via bootcamp 4.0 , and the download for the windows support software always hangs at mid point , and must retry several times before it completes. After which when starting to install windows 7 , at the screen where it says loading windows file , suddenly there is an error of 0xc00000e9 , and i could not continue to install after which , even though i have removed all USB. Is there any way to solve this or do i have to downgrade to bootcamp 3.0 to install the windows 7.
Thanks

No downgrade, what you need to do is head to Bootcamp and delete the Bootcamp partition
Then head to Disk Utility and Erase Free Space with Zero. this will take some time and write zeros' to all your spare space on the drive, it also reads those zeros back to confirm and when it can't do that the driver software will map off the problem sector on your drive.
Once that's finished, use the Bootcamp software again and Windows should install.
You should learn about Carbon Copy Cloner and WinClone so you can restore OS X or Windows
https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3045
also read this, if your not going to be using Windows heavily or for 3D games, then this might be a better solution that dual booting.

Problems with Boot Camp, OSX Lion Server 10.7.3, and Windows 7

My new Mac Mini Server is running OSX Lion Server 10.7.3. I want to install Windows 7 as a dual boot. I start up Boot Camp and use an ISO image to create a USB boot disk. I don't seem to be able to use the DVD to install, so I use an ISO image on disk. I continue with the Boot Camp installation, with all three options on the main screen checked. When I get to the part where I have to pick a partition on which to install, the only one I can select, and must format, is the partition labeled BOOTCAMP. But the Boot Camp support software Windows is installed there. I can continue with the Windows installation, and boot into Windows 7 with no problem. But since the Boot Camp drivers were wiped out, I cannot connect to the network, etc. I don't have a Boot Camp control panel either.I did this once before on my other Mac Mini Server I have, running the same OSX Lion Server 10.7.3, and it worked without a problem. I'm writing this message on that copy of Windows. But this new install just will not work, after two days of trying. I *must* get this working. I'm stumped.
CAN ANYONE HELP ??? TIA !!!!

First, this is re-post of your other thread.
Your driverrs were not and will not be "wiped out."
Run Boot Camp Assistant. Download the drivers
Your profile says Lion so that will let you store drivers on flash memory card.
They are never placed where Boot Camp created a partition.

I have a problem, i bought lion but when i want to install he said me i need to "download osx lion server" i'm running with the last lion beta. how to update please?

ps: sorry for my english :S

You apparently are using a version of OS X you did not purchase using your Apple ID. Although you can download Mavericks you cannot install it over your current system. You must repartition your hard drive, then reinstall the version of OS X originally installed when it came new from the factory. That would be on the installer discs that should have come with the computer. If the computer did not come with discs from the factory but OS X was pre-installed (Lion or Mountain Lion) then you can perform an Internet Recovery:
Install Mavericks, Lion/Mountain Lion Using Internet Recovery
Be sure you backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive because the following procedure will remove everything from the hard drive.
Boot to the Internet Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND-OPTION- R keys until a globe appears on the screen. Wait patiently - 15-20 minutes - until the Recovery main menu appears.
Partition and Format the hard drive:
1. Select Disk Utility from the main menu and click on the Continue button.
2. After DU loads select your external hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. 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. Quit DU and return to the main menu.
Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion. Mavericks: Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion, Mavericks and click on the Install button. Be sure to select the correct drive to use if you have more than one.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.
