Can't find Lion under Downloaded tab on App Store

I have downloaded Lion last year and installed it... suddenly i didn't know that the installer self-deleted itself after the Lion installation was complete...
Now i want to create a usb bootable disk to clean install it into my iMac but i cant find the installer...
my question is, do i need to create a bootable usb or the Lion installer is available when i want to re-install it ?

  • How can I find Lion to download it to my Mac Boook/  It is the white plastic model and is now running Snow Leopard.  It has 4 GB of Ram but this computer is not compatible with MOuntain Lion.  I cannot find Lion anywhere.

    How can I find Lion to download it to my Mac Book?  It has Snow Leopard and 4GB RAM but it the white plastic model and is not compatible with Mountain Lion.  I have been told by the Genius Bar that it will handle Lion.

    That underpowered model is better left on 10.6.8 for performance reasons, also the fact that it's dated and 10.7 will likely require you to buy alll new software to replace the PPC based software your currently using.
    If you insist, then call Apple via phone and they will sell you 10.7 Lion and provide a link to download it.
    My 2¢ is to save up for a new machine, as that one is about to kick the bucket, they only last about 4.5 years or so depending upon use/enviroment.
    If your having problems with 10.6.8, perhaps some of the links here can assist, 10.6 is faster than 10.7 in fresh install tests.

  • Where can I find Lion to download?

    I am in a time crunch.  My Mobile Me runs out on June 30, 2012, so I have to move to iCloud.  However, I am running Snow Leopard and can't wait for Mountain Lion.  Where can I find Lion to download?  It doesn't seem to be in the Apple Store?
    Thanks,

  • Hi, we just bought a Macbook air and we can't find the 'reminders' app in the applications or through the spotlight search. Is there a link to download the app? I can't find it online or through the app store. Please help!

    Reminders is automatically installed with 10.8 or above. A new Mac should have 10.9; it's possible that, with a third-party vendor, you have an earlier OS. Check under the Apple menu in the top left and click About This Mac. That will tell you what version of OS X you have.

  • Where can I find my favorite radio channel on app store?

    Allo,
    Where can i find my favorite radio channel on app store?

    Not all radio stations offer their own apps - in fact relatively few do - so if a simple seach for the station name doesn't turn up an app, contact the station you wish to listen to and ask if they offer an Internet stream at all and if so if there's is any app(s) that can play that stream.
    Regards.

  • Why isn't OS X Mountain Lion not downloading from Mac App Store?

    Hi all,
    I have recently downloaded the OS upgrade to Mountain Lion from the Mac App Store for £13.99, and it is't downloading. Since purchasing I have received the bill from Apple outlining I have purchased the item. But nothing has happened as yet. I have looked under purchases in the Mac App Store and it just shows the progression bar...
    79.3 MB of 4.37 GB - Calculating...
    I have restarted my IMac many times and still nothing!!!
    What can I do?? I have the icon for Mountain Lion in the dock but the only options available I can see are... Pause, or Cancel Download.
    Please help!!!
    I am running Mac OS X  version 10.6.8
    Thanks in advance

    It looks stuck, and at this point, you probably ought to cancel the download and start it over again. (No worries about paying again... once you buy something in the App Store, you own it for as long as it stays in the store and can re-download it all you like.)
    Also, before you consider installing the upgrade, note that there are some things you should do:
    1) Check all your software for compatibility with the new system.
    2) Repair the hard drive with Disk Utility.
    3) Make a full backup of your whole system using Time Machine.
    4) Ideally, make a second full backup of your whole system using something else, like Carbon Copy Cloner. (I consider two backups to be the minimum.)
    5) Wait until you have time to deal with any possible problems that crop up.
    6) Install the upgrade.
    Some people recommend erasing your hard drive and installing the new system "cleanly." That certainly helps ensure that you don't have any problems with the new system, but is often unnecessary. I prefer to save clean installs for when they are actually necessary, but that is only an opinion. You can certainly choose to do a clean install if you prefer.

  • Cannot get OS X Lion to download from the App store

    When trying to download os x lion to my mac book it initially would not download because i had no to updated the software on my computer. Once i did update i tried to redeem my code in the app store like i did previously and it said that the code had already been used even though the new system never downloaded to my computer. I looked under purchases and it was there and i clicked the download button again and nothing happens & i even checked for unfinished downloads and nothing happened again. help please ive been trying all day. thanks

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    The OS X Lion installer takes more than 4 GB of space, so it is normal for most Internet connections to take the download more than an hour.
    If you want to see the download progress, open the Mac App Store and go to Purchases.
    Before upgrading, make a backup of your files with Time Machine and check that your apps are compatible > http://www.roaringapps.com

  • Can't find OS X Mavericks on Mac App Store

    I am attempting to download OS X Mavericks from the Mac App Store, but cannot locate it. Can someone assist me?
    Thanks.

    You posted in the iTunes for Mac forum...are you searching that app store? If so, you'll only see apps designed for iOS devices.
    You need to use the Mac App Store icon in your dock (if it's there) or open it from the Applications folder.

  • Can not find update 10.8.3 in App Store

    My macbook air has 10.8.2 installed and worked flawlessly. Yesterday, I checked the updates via app store, and proceed the updates. Unfortunately, I did found some weird and excessive heat after upgrade and go back to 10.8.2 using time machine backup. The problem, is now, I couldn't see 10.8.3 update in the Mac App Store. The same thing if I use Apple -> Software Update. No 10.8.3 update there.
    Thank you.

    Yes, I did already donwloaded the combo version yesterday and installed 10.8.3. The question, is why now in my 10.8.2 the update is not showing? I am afraid, I didn't see my other apps update as well. Is this because of restore from Time Machine, or do you also didn't see the 10.8.3 update in app store NOW?
    No I can't see it in the App Store either, because I have already updated to 10.8.3 so it knows I don't require it. I just prefer to install the Combo updates as it updates from 10.8 direct to 10.8.3 so to speak,instead of adding on incremental updates every time.The update is most likely not showing as you have already installed it in your last system update so the App Store may well think that as you have already downloaded and installed it, that you no longer need the update. Any reinstall you do now will give you 10.8.3 anyway.

  • How can you find your password to use the App Store on an iPhone?

    My friend has forgotten her password for the App Store.
    Her account is her email address.
    How can she either get her password or create a new one in order to use the App Store?

    I think I tried this last night but will attempt it again.
    I was tired after talking with an AT&T technical representative about a voicemail issue.
    I hope her voicemail is still accessible today.
    I asked the AT&T person to remove the voicemail password.

  • Can we use itunes to download anything from app store using pc net connection?

    i bought a lesson from 'learn russian with busuu' in the apple store for 4.99$. 
    all i want to ask is how to download using itunes in my pc.
    i do not want to dowload 35mb using internet connection of my ipad?

    In iTunes on your computer make sure you are logged in to the same Apple ID you used to purchase the app on your iPad, then go to "Check for availabel downloads" on the Store menu.
    Alternatively connect your iPad to WiFi and download it that way, instead of over 3G (which is, I presume, what you're trying to avoid).

  • Ios7 apps missing from purchased tab in app store

    Hi all,
    After a difficult - but successful - upgrade of my iPhone 4S to iOS 7 (I haven't restarted my PC after upgrading iTunes, put the device in DFU mode because it was not recognised by iTunes while remained in "connecting to iTunes" screen) I have another big problem: my previously purchased apps don't appear under Purchased tab in App Store app from iPhone. Nor the apps purchased on other devices (an iPad 3). I don't have any of the previous apps on my phone now. After I started downloading them manually, one by one, I noticed that they went in the folders I previously had.
    Did any of you face the same/similar problem? How did you fix it?
    Thanks!

    I'm returning with an update: the apps now appear in Purchased tab of the App Store. Most like it was a problem with App Store servers at the time.
    I've learned that I should have transferred all my purchases to iTunes when backing up the phone. That option is really hidden in iTunes, and after re-installing Windows on my PC I totally forgot about it. BTW, iTunes team: why back-up in iTunes does not include the purchases?
    Oh, and after another restart (since upgrading), Facetime audio started working - previously I was getting only "call failed".
    Good luck with your upgrade.

  • Downloaded, but can't find Lion in purchases

    I purchased Lion in November from the App Store and installed it on my iMac. I now want to install it on another iMac, but it does not appear in my purchases list. I am signing in with the same Apple ID I purchased it with. Any idea how can I find it or download it again? Thanks.

    Audiobooks will download to the Music app on an iPad - when you have audiobooks on the iPad you should get an Audiobooks option under the More button at the bottom of the Music app.
    Note that audiobooks are currently a one-time only download from the store, so you may want to copy it to your computer's iTunes via File > Transfer Purchases (File > Devices > Transfer Purchases if you have iTunes 11 on your computer) so that you can take a backup of it - it should copy over to the Books part of your computer's iTunes library
