Can I get OS X v10.7 Lion free??

I received an email from apple that said that if i purchased my computer after June 6th I could request to Download OS X Lion for free. How can I do that?

Go to the appropriate Mac OS X Lion up to date web page. In the USA or Canada it is http://www.apple.com/macosx/uptodate/
In the UK http://www.apple.com/uk/macosx/uptodate/
France - http://www.apple.com/fr/macosx/uptodate/
I suspect if you just replace the letters after apple.com/ with your country code, it will take you to the correct page.
Follow the directions on the page.
Best of luck.

  • How can I order OS X v10.7 Lion for two computers? One Macbook and one Imac.

    How can I order OS X v10.7 Lion for both my MacBookPro and my Imac?

    Install 10.6.8 on one computer to access the App Store, purchase, and download Lion. You can install on all the computers you own. Although you can re-download Lion after you purchase it, you may prefer the following:
    Make Your Own Lion Installer
    1. After downloading Lion you must first save the Install Mac OS X Lion application. After Lion downloads DO NOT click on the Install button. Go to your Applications folder and make a copy of the Lion installer. Move the copy into your Downloads folder. Now you can click on the Install button. You must do this because the installer deletes itself automatically when it finishes installing Lion.
    2. Get a USB flash drive that is at least 8 GBs. Prep this flash drive as follows:
    Open Disk Utility in your Utilities folder.
    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.
    Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
    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.
    Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, check the button for Zero Data and click on OK to return to the Erase window.
    Click on the Erase button. The format process can take up to several hours depending upon the drive size.
    3. Locate the saved Lion installer in your Downloads folder. CTRL- or RIGHT-click on the installer and select Show Package Contents from the contextual menu. Double-click on the Contents folder to open it. Double-click on the SharedSupport folder. In this folder you will see a disc image named InstallESD.dmg.
    4. Plug in your freshly prepared USB flash drive. You are going to clone the InstallESD.dmg disc image to the flash drive as follows:
    Open Disk Utility.
    Select the USB flash drive from the left side list.
    Click on the Restore tab in the DU main window.
    Check the box labeled Erase destination.
    Select the USB flash drive volume from the left side list and drag it to the Destination entry field.
    Drag the InstallESD.dmg disc image file into the Source entry field.
    Double-check you got it right, then click on the Restore button.
    When the clone is completed you have a fully bootable Lion installer that  you can use without having to re-download Lion.

  • I can't get into the system osx lion

    I can't get into the system of my iMac osx lion

    I would recommend that you try rebooting while holding down the Command - R keys to get  into the Recovery Partition.  There, run Disk Repair and then run Repair Permissions twice.  A sizeable number of people have found that these steps solved the same problems that you are having.  If that doesn't completely resolve it the the next step is to reset the PRAM, by rebooting while holding down the Command-Option-P-R keys.  This may also be the problem solver you need.
    Hope this helps

  • Can't get safari to open with lion.  Any ideas?

    Hi,  Have been struggling to with lion and safari.  Feel like I'm on a safari.  Can't get safari to open. When it does, crashes immediately.  Any ideas?

    Nasty.  I have some ideas:
    Can you open Safari in a different user account? (that will help to determine if it is a corrupt install or something systemwide).
    Do you have any 3rd party add-ons for Safari?  Try disabling them.
