Clean install Lion and CS5.5 resulting in some programs in 5.1 version

I've formatted my drive and clean installed Lion (without 10.6 first) and directly Adobe Creative Suite 5.5.
But the stange thing is that some versions are not 5.5 but 5.1.
These are Bridge, Contribute, Encore, Fireworks, Illustrator, Onlocation and Photoshop!
What could be happened, but better.... how to solve this so I have my 5.5 versions.
Tnx

This is correct. No all applications were upgraded to 5.5.
There's nothing wrong at all.

Clean installed lion--now missing find my mac guest login

Like the title says. I clean installed lion and now the guest account for the find my mac feature is gone. How do I get it back? All I have at the login screen now is just my acct. . My icloud acct. is activated. Thanks

System pref.> securtity&privacy>general does not show option of "disable starting to safari when screen is locked". Last option listed is "disable remote control infrared receiver".
"wake for network access" is checked.
icloud settings for "find my mac" are corrrect
I'm running 10.7.2

Clean installing Lion- have some questions.

I'm gonna clean install Lion on my macbook pro and have some questions regarding the same...
should I update to 10.7.2 and then clean install or will i have to update again anyway after a clean install?
is it true that downloading mac app store apps again from the app's page reincurrs the charges?
any best/worst practices i should consider while reinstalling Lion? I'm gonna perform a clean install.
most important... how do i initiate a clean install?!
Thanks for your time, in advance.

Thank you, that definitely suggests that it isn't actually doing anything useful!
I switched it off, cleared the PRAM and re-formatted the drive unencrypted (I found the option, it was in the dropdown for filesystem).
That appears to have been the issue, as the download and install immediately identified the disc name, which it wasn't doing before. Guess it was having an issue with my encrypted drive. I guess it's handy I'm not a secret agent or an political dissident I shall run unencrypted...

Can i clean install Lion into my Macintosh HD drive and leave Bootcamp as it is?

I would like to clean install Lion into my Macintosh HD drive and leave the bootcamp drive without getting affected from it...
is it possible or do i have to do the install on all the drive?

If you have the Lion installer application in your Applications folder, then I suggest you make a copy in your Downloads folder because the installer deletes itself automatically after the installation. By saving it you can make your own USB installer:
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.
However, if you don't do this you can always redownload the installer by using OS X Lion- About Lion Recovery or by reinstalling Snow Leopard 10.6.8.

My Macbook pro often won't start up since I installed Lion, and I have to shut it down using power button. My desktop icons don't appear and the dock won't open. I only have the little circle of color spinning endlessly. What's wrong now!

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of this exercise is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login. Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
Be sure your Mac is shut down.
Press the power button.
Immediately after you hear the startup tone, hold the Shift key. The Shift key should be held as soon as possible after the startup tone, but not before the tone.
Release the Shift key when you see the gray Apple icon and the progress indicator (looks like a spinning gear).
Note: If FileVault is enabled under Mac OS X 10.7 or later, you can’t boot in safe mode.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem(s)?
After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

I have installed Lion and Microsoft Office 2011. I want to uninstall Office 2004, but of course I cannot run the application to uninstall, because I get the "PowerPC applications are no longer supported" message. Suggestions?

I have installed Lion and Microsoft Office 2011. I want to uninstall Office 2004, but of course I cannot run the application to uninstall, because I get the "PowerPC applications are no longer supported" message. Suggestions?

Go to this microsoft site http://support.microsoft.com/kb/312172 and/or this microsoft site http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2398768. I would suggest removing both to start with a clean slate. I had some problems with installing Office for Mac 2011 over 2008 and found out that by completely removing both and starting from a clean slate provided the best solution. Kappy is correct but some sniglets do get left behind. Hope this helps. Cheers.

How do I install LION and partition SL 10.6.8 run on same imac?

Hello If one could tell me step by step instructions:
I would like to install LION ( because icloud), but can I install LION and partition the OS so that my imac can run both SL 10.6.8 and LION?
SL 10.6.8 still runs some applications that LION will never be able to run.
So I really need LION installed,but also have SL 10.6.8 partitioned so I can run imovie HD6 with plug ins with SL 10.6.8.
Please if this can be done so I can run Lion and SL 10.6.8 on same computer
thank you so much in advance
please advise
scott

Wow, thank you Niel. I have looked on this site and have found many different ways listed on partitioning and using 2 OS on a computer. But there steps seemed very long and tedious- but of course if that is what is needed then i would do it that way. Again i was seeing a lot of different ways. But yours seemed direct.
I went thru the steps up until using the thumb drive for LION to install. I went in to disk utilities, i selected mydrive, clicked on the partition tab, and then i saw i had 96.7 GB available--without changing SL10.6.8 HD size.
it looks like you can drag and increase/decrease the partitions with the mouse control.
I really need LION for icloud, and if so all other applications EXCEPT imovieHD6
So i need to run SL for imovieHD6 the other applications like word, adobe creative suite, excel, etc ican use LION.
do you recommend having the partitions equal in GB?
I have a 250gb hard drive
should I split the partitions evenly between the two OS?
or should one OS get more GB than another?

How do you un-install Lion and go back to Leopard?

How do I un-install Lion and return to Leopard?

I believe you mean to return to Snow Leopard:
Downgrade Lion to 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. 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.
4. Quit DU and return to the installer. Install Snow Leopard.
This will erase the whole drive so be sure to backup your files if you don't have a backup already. If you have performed a TM backup using Lion be aware that you cannot restore from that backup in Snow Leopard (see below.) I suggest you make a separate backup using Carbon Copy Cloner 3.4.1.
If you have Snow Leopard Time Machine backups, do a full system restore per #14 in Time Machine - Frequently Asked Questions. If you have subsequent backups from Lion, you can restore newer items selectively, via the "Star Wars" display, per #15 there, but be careful; some Snow Leopard apps may not work with the Lion files.

Clean install/erase and install trouble

I just got an ibook g4 with tiger 10.4 from someone. I have the factory dvd and have been trying to run a clean install /erase and install to erase all the old stuff and start a new. I put the disk in, click install os x w/ bundled software, then it says i must click restart, then enter the password and the system reboots. Then it restarts, but it just loads as normal and nothing happens. This is my first time owning a mac and am upset i can't get this to work.
Thanks.

Hi-i just installed "lion" and have"ilife09"would like to upgrade to ilife 11 is there a "package that has g/band, iPhoto

hi-i just installed "lion" and have"ilife09"would like to upgrade to ilife 11 is there a "package that has g/band, iPhoto & i movie-all in one as a complete upgrade(and is it cheaper in a "package") or do i have to install each one three separately?

Aarrggghhhh, you in Australia, gotcha!
Merchandise prices are in U$D on all links I posted.
Amazon does shipping globally - see more here for AU shipping rates (in U$D)
http://www.amazon.com/Apple-MC623Z-A-iLife-11/dp/B003XKRZES/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&q id=1311468383&sr=8-1
You can sign up for an account with them, being the largest online retailer in the world, they take all major credit cards and/or PayPal account as well.
If I were you, Id do some research on Australian online stores for iLife package before going with Amazon, maybe you could find it cheaper there. But given the bad shape the US Dollar has been in, you might also get a better deal with Amazon, because U$D is so dirt cheap these days!
I got my iLife 11 on Amazon. I buy Apple hardware on Apple's refurbished store, parts on OWC, and software on Amazon

Just installed Lion and now my trackpad will not zoom

Just installed Lion and now my trackpad will not zoom in and out and the direction of going up and down have reversed.

I have had Lion since it was first released July 20th, and I have noticed that I can not zoom in on everything that is on the internet, some things seem to not be able to be zoomed in on. Are you saying that no matter what website you go to (this one for eample) the zoom function does not work?

Is my iMac now useless as i have installed lion and i am no longer able to run cs2 photoshop and illustrator as this is all i use my mac for they should make this clear before buying it i can't afford the latest version of cs2

is my iMac now useless as i have installed lion and i am no longer able to run cs2 photoshop and illustrator as this is all i use my mac for they should make this clear before buying it i can't afford the latest version of cs2 and cant believe what a waste of money it is.

The newest version of CS2 is CS5. And it was made very clear that these applications would not run in Lion. Not only by Apple, but on all sorts of communities and websites. It has been a long time coming - PowerPC apps were outdated six years ago. Lion does not support Rosetta, and therefore not PPC apps.
you have to options. Go back to Snow Leopard or upgrade your software. (MS Office 2004 and older will not run either).
Cheers

Back to Snow Leopard from Lion install method
Read and print out these instructions, your computer is going to be offline and you wil be cutoff from help until your machine is restored.
Clear the Desktop, Downloads and Trash of anything you wish to keep by placing their files in the respective Documents, Music, Pictures, Movie folders.
If you have a TimeMachine drive, update it and disconnect for the duration of this restore time. It will be your second backup system and will have to be wiped and setup again after successfully going back to Snow Leopard if it was connected to the OS X 10.7 boot drive. If it wasn't, then leave it disconnected without updating to Lion.
Backup ALL your Users folders (Documents, Pictures, Movies, Music etc) manually (drag and drop methods) to a (not TimeMachine) external powered drive (HFS+ journaled formatted in Disk Utility) and disconnect, your going to be wiping the entire disk of ALL DATA. (warning, everything will be gone and not recovered)
Here we go!
Hold c and boot off the 10.6 installer disk that comes with your computer and second screen in just STOP.
Look at the Utilities Menu for Disk Utility.
On the left is the name of your hard drive maker, click it and Erase (format HFS+ Journaled), give it the same name as before, and click Erase...
This should wipe the drive of ALL partitions (GUID, OS X and 10.7 Recovery, Windows if present)
When it's done, quit and install OS X 10.6. Then install all your programs from fresh sources and validate/update.
When you setup a first account, use the same user name as before, this way you can simply drag and drop the content of your previous Users folders from the external drive right back into the new Users folders and everything should work peachy. Links in iTunes to music, playlists and iPhoto links especially.
Update OS X to 10.6.8 using the Combo Update for best results.
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1399
(Note: If your original machine had 10.5 and you want the free iLife that comes with the disks with the computer, then you'll have to install 10.5 first using the same c boot/erase/format methods as above, then update to 10.6 via the disk, then Combo Update 10.6.8)
Final step optional but highly receommended.
A lot of people use a Carbon Copy Clone of their boot drive to a HFS+Journaled external drive as a "hold the option key" bootable backup in case something goes wrong with their boot drive or need to restore to a previous OS X version.. (in addition to TimeMachine drive for more immediate backups.)
It's not advised to have a Bootable Clone and a TimeMachine partition on the same external drive, as two drives gives hardware protection in case one fails.

Clean Install Lion Dsik Mount Problem - "(Illegal Seek)"

I'm trying to create a bootable USB so I can clean install Lion on my mac. However, when I try and burn the .dmg file onto my USB I get an error message along the lines of "Unable to create "installesd.dmg - (Illegal seek)".
The USB (4GB) is Mac formatted. I have tried using my Mac formatted iPod (60GB) as well but that doesn't work either.
Does anyone have any ideas?
Thanks

Hi Arun, have you migrated any data into your clean Lion installation yet? I'm curious to learn about the startup speed of such a clean installation.
While i simply updated from Snow Leopard i'm experiencing a significantly slowed-down startup. I wonder whether it's worth to start from scratch and first update to Lion and then manually install all my applications and data.
Thank you.

Clean install lion when already on Lion?

How do I clean install lion when i'm already on lion?

Your best bet would be to create a Lion Boot Disc which is actually quite easy with the OS X Lion installer and Disk Utility. The problem is that since your are already running Lion, I don't think it will allow you to re-download it to make the boot disc. One option would be to clean install Snow Leopard, download the OS X Lion installer from the Mac App Store and make the boot disc. It would be easier to use another computer that already has Snow Leopard installed and fully updated to make the boot disc. All you would have to do is sign into the App Store on the other computer and Lion should be under purchased, just don't forget to log out if the other computer is not your own. Regardless, here are the instructions on making a Lion Boot Disc:
Performing a clean install of Lion is easy once you create a Lion Boot Disc. How do I create a Lion Boot Disc, you ask? That's easy too! Just follow these instructions: http://www.macrumors.com/2011/07/18/make-an-os-x-lion-boot-disc/
The fact is that the Lion installer is packaged around a bootable disk image that can easily be burned to a standard 4.7GB DVD. With the boot disk you can run disk utility to erase your Mac, and then clean install just like you could with every other version of Mac OS X. Just don't forget to backup all your data!!!
