Can't install/download Mac OS X Lion. Help please.

My AppStore says I have lion already installed, but it isn't (still have 10.6.8). How can I find it or re-download it?

Check also in your Application folder. Take this chance to complete any backups* or upgrades you need for Lion before you start installing it:

Can't install 10.5.1 update! help please!

hi
i have written a post before but it is still unresolved.
i have installed the leopard os last week (erase and install) i can't run software update and the manual 110MB updater doesn't work, instead i get this message:
+"You cannot install Mac OS X Update on this volume. This volume does not meet the requirements for this update."+ i also get the same message when i try to install the keychain update.. my startup disk has a free space of 25GB and i have fixed the disk's permissions before running the installer..
please help me to solve this.
thanks

If you have more than one account now (e.g., one created during the install, and one/more restored from a back up), have you tried installing the combo (110 MB) update from the account you created during the erase & install (the very first admin account created)? If not, try logging into that account and try installing the combo update and see if the problem goes away. Then do a permissions repair (it might take a while).

I can't connect to database during the installation of soa suite just because I can't get over the page "Specify Database Connect Information". That might be something wrong with the hostname.
So my question is how I can install it correctly. Please explain it in details, I am a beginner. Thanks a lot!

Hi, Bas
Thanks again for your help!
I can't download the patchsets from metalink because I do not have a metalink account. It is impossible for me to buy oracle's products for the reason that I am a student at school. I use oracle just for learning.
So it seems like that the only way I can go is to use XE. But I still want to ask you if there is another way for me to get the patchsets for db 10.2.0.1.
I appreciate your help very much.
Regards!
Peter

Is MAC OS X v10.6.8 same as MAC OS X Snow Leopard. Since i want to download MAC OS X LION can it be downloaded on my mac which has MAC OS X v10.6.8 ??

Yes, assuming you can run Lion, & can deal with no more Save or Save As... functions...
Lion/101.7 System requirements
    •    x86-64 processor (Macs with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Intel Core i3, Intel Core i5, Intel Core i7, or Xeon processor.)
    •    At least 2GB of memory, (I say 4GB)
    •    Latest version of Mac OS X Snow Leopard (10.6.8), with the Mac App Store installed
    •    At least 4GB of disk space for downloading, (I say 40GB at least)
Like Snow Leopard, Lion does not support PowerPC-based Macs (e.g., Power Macs, PowerBooks, iBooks, iMacs (G3-G5), eMacs).
Lion also does not support 32-bit Intel Core Duo or Core Solo based Macs. Rosetta is no longer available in Lion, which means Lion no longer supports PowerPC applications.

I downloaded Mac OS X Lion and when I go to install, it says file cannot be verified, may have been corrupted during download. How do I determine if it is corrupt and how do I get a clean copy of Lion, since I have already paid for it?

Download again, move the existing file out of the applications folder first.

HT1444 I need to update my Mac version 10.4.11 can I instal the version OS X Lion Update 10.7.2

I need to update my Mac version 10.4.11 can I instal the version OS X Lion Update 10.7.2 as an update

If your iMac has a PowerPC processor, you can upgrade to OS 10.5 Leopard, which is the max OS.
If your iMac has an Intel processor, you can upgrade to OS 10.6 Snow Leopard, and possibly OS 10.7 Lion.
You have to buy OS upgrades. Updates to later versions are free from Apple's site.

Since I installed the Mac OS X Lion I can't install the Autodesk Maya

I installed the Mac OS X Lion on my iMac, which I recently bought (4 months ago aprox). I've been trying to download and install Autodesk Maya the Student's Version, and it won't let me... This had never happened before until I installed the Lion... Also I tried to download the Rar Machine free version, and it won't let me either... it says something about a Nil Object missing...
Any help??

No idea about RAR Machine, sorry. If you have the latest release, you might want to contact the developer and ask for assistance.
Regards.

If you have a Mid 2010 model: Computers that can be upgraded to use OS X Internet Recovery. If later then see below:
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:
Select Disk Utility from the main menu and click on the Continue button.
After DU loads select your newly installed 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.
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.
If you have an earlier model:
Clean Install of Snow Leopard
     1. Boot the computer using the Snow Leopard Installer Disc or the Disc 1 that came
         with your computer. Insert the disc into the optical drive and restart the computer.
         After the chime press and hold down the "C" key. Release the key when you see
         a small spinning gear appear below the dark gray Apple logo.
     2. 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 the hard drive entry from the left side list (mfgr.'s ID and drive
         size.) Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window. Set the number of
         partitions to one (1) from the Partitions drop down menu, click on Options button
         and select GUID, click on OK, then set the format type to MacOS Extended
         (Journaled, if supported), then click on the Apply button.
     3. When the formatting has completed quit DU and return to the installer. Proceed
         with the OS X installation and follow the directions included with the installer.
     4. When the installation has completed your computer will Restart into the Setup
         Assistant. Be sure you configure your initial admin account with the exact same
         username and password that you used on your old drive. After you finish Setup
         Assistant will complete the installation after which you will be running a fresh
         install of OS X. You can now begin the update process by opening Software
         Update and installing all recommended updates to bring your installation current.
Download and install Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1.

MacBook pro does not start. How can I back to Mac OS X Lion?

I have a MacBook Pro. On my MacBook i made three partition, then I installed window 8. After that I started windos and try to delete third partition by Administrator tool from windows operating system. After that my MacBook does not start. How can I back to Mac OS X Lion?
After that I again install windows 8 from a DVD. Windows start well, but I can not start Mac OS system, may be it was 10.6. Sever times I tried to install OS X Lion 10.7 thought DVD, I could not. On MacBook I have a lot of important data.
What can I do. I want to a complete suggestion. Please help me to solve the problem.
My MacBook Pro model no. A1286.

You installed Windows improperly the result of which was to wipe out the bootloader for OS X. You can give this a try:
Boot Using OPTION key:
1. Restart the computer.
2. Immediately after the chime press and hold down the
"OPTION" key.
3. Release the key when the boot manager appears.
4. Select the OS X disk icon from which you want to boot.
5. Click on the arrow button below the icon.
If you are still unable to boot from the OS X volume then you will need to reinstall OS X:
Reinstall OS X without erasing the drive
1. 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.
2. Reinstall Snow Leopard
If the drive is OK then quit DU and return to the installer. Proceed with reinstalling OS X. Note that the Snow Leopard installer will not erase your drive or disturb your files. After installing a fresh copy of OS X the installer will move your Home folder, third-party applications, support items, and network preferences into the newly installed system.
Download and install Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1.
This will destroy the Windows bootloader so you cannot boot into Windows. The solution is to remove all the partitions on the drive except the OS X partition, then expand the OS X partition to take up the entire drive.
Use Boot Camp Assistant in the Utilities folder to create a Windows partition on which you can install Windows. You cannot have any other partitions on the drive besides these two.
Now given all the above you may be able to install a third-party bootloader that would work with the setup you now have: Boot Runner 1.4.

TA48312 Have Mac OS X Leopard (10.5.8) and would like download Mac OS X Lion

Hi, would like to download Mac OS X Lion and I have still Mac OS X Leopard (10.5.8)
Can I download online the new System?

The first step in Upgrading... is 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...
http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573Z/A/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
Other countries...

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

HT201260 my mac mini build is 11G56 and mac osx is 10.7.5 how can i install latest mac 10.8 and above

my mac mini build is 11G56 and mac osx is 10.7.5 how can i install latest mac 10.8 and above

Simply purchase Mountain Lion from the App Store and it will begin installation after the download is complete. Note that it's a large download, about 4.5GB, so you should have a good Internet connection..
However... if I were you, I would just wait another month or so until Apple releases Mavericks - the 'latest' announced version of OS X -> http://www.apple.com/osx/preview/.
No need to pay for two upgrades in a months (or so) time...

Apple figures that having supported PowerPC code for the last 6 years is enough so they dropped it.
Why should they have to support some that old forever? It doesn't make good business sense to support some that so few will use.
If you must play those games, my suggestion is to get an older Mac that will support PowerPC. It is going to be a difficult task to get Snow Leopard to run on a new Mac.

I have this iMac late 2006 and I want to install the Mac OS X Lion

Hello,
       I want to install Mac os X lion, (not mountain lion) on my iMac Late 2006 , but it is no longer available in the mac app store. How can I do to install the Mac OS X Lion on my computer?
     The thing is that i was hoping the the mountain lion was compatible with my iMac, so is there a way i can still get the Mac OS X lion?

     Apple for some dumb reason removed it from the App store, so you now have to call them and ask for it. I also have a Late 2006 Mac Pro and luckily I took the plung awhile ago and bought it from the App store. Since they cut off so many machines still being used they should have left Lion in the store. Any 2006-2007 Mac Pro and any other Mac that has a video card that doesn't have 64b drivers cannot go to Mountain Lion.

Can't install/download Mac OS X Lion. Help please.
