Downloaded & Installed Lion - Disk found corrupt

I am fairly new to the whole MacBook thing. I've had an iPhone since they first came out but this is the first time I have an Apple instead of PC.
I downloaded and installed OS X Lion. System restarted and immediately went into the Disk Utility. If I try to repair the disk, I get the messages:
"Journal need to be replayed but volume is read only.
The volume Macintosh HD was found corrupt and needs to be repaired.
Error: Disk Utility can't repair this disk...disk, and restore your backed-up files."
The pop-up that comes up is similar:
"Disk Utility can't repair this disk. Back up as many of your files as possible, reformat the disk, and restore your backed-up files."
I don't have a back... had this MBP for about 2 months now. There are minimal files that I would want to keep, but cannot get them off the HD now.
Any ideas, please

If Lion properly prepared the Recovery HD, the restart, holding down the CMD+R keys. If it boots into recovery mode, select Disk Utility, and repair the disk. Details in Recovery and About Lion Recovery. Also, see Internet Recovery.

Error when downloading/installing Lion 10.7.3....

Hi,
I was about 50% of the way downloading the latest Lion update when I got the following error:

Finally managed to get everything working after getting the error below via Software Update:
Strangely enough, when I went to turn off my Mac last night, I was then prompted to either 'Install Update then Shutdown' or just 'Shutdown'. I chose the latter.
Here are the steps that I took before downloading/installing update:
1) Turn off iMac
2) Unplug TimeMachine HD
3) Restart iMac and launch Disk Utility
4) Verify / Repair Macintosh HD
5) Download Lion 10.7.3 Client Combo
6) Install Update and let iMac restart
7) Turn off iMac and plug-in TimeMachine HD
8) Turn on iMac and let TimeMachine do its thing (took about an hour)
Everything ran smoothly and system seems to be woking fine.

I was using OS Snow Leopard and on 8/1/13 I downloaded Mountain Lion and found out it was not compatible with my HP printer (HP photosmart C5580) so I called Apple and asked how to get Mountain Lion off and Snow Leopard back on. The Tech told me to

I was using OS Snow Leopard and on 8/1/13 I downloaded Mountain Lion. Then I found out it was not compatible with my HP Printer (HP Photosmart C5580 all-in-one) so I called Apple support and the tech told me to erase the hard drive instead of going in the time machine. Well I did that and then it took about three hours three days a week for about three weeks on the phone with an apple tech to get all my stuff back on my computer. I have had trouble with my printer (won't do the scan anymore and wasn't printing on my DVDs. Also the computer keeps freezing up when it is in the sleep mode, etc.
When I tried to list my problem on this forum it lists your OS at the bottom and mine had Mountain Lion listed as what I was using so apparently it didn't erase it. Want to know how to get Mountain Lion off and put my Snow Leopard on so things start working right.

Go to the  menu/About This Mac - what OS version shows there?
Do a backup, preferably 2 separate ones on 2 separate drives.
Revert to a Previous OS X
Revert to Snow Leopard
If you do revert, I'd use Setup Assistant to restore your data. This process takes a while, so do it when you won't need the computer for several hours, based on my experience.

Apple Care has determined my download of Lion to be corrupt or broken

FYI to everyone who read my previous questions.
Apple Care has determined that the download of Lion I received is corrupt or broken.
No offense to the nice guy at Apple who helped me, but, DUH.
Apple is sending me Snow Leopard discs free of charge since my less than one year old iMac somehow didn't come with any.
With any luck, by weeks' end, I will have a working computer with a brain.
So, IF you are continuing to have Lion problems I strongly encourage you to contact Apple Care and check it out.
I think there is a massive problem with every version of Lion and Apple needs to know so it can be fixed.
Everything new has bugs. I just have higher expectations from Apple since, obviously, it works better than any PC.
I don't think Lion should have gotten out of the cage before some more trouble shooting and trials.
So, I will happily go back to Snow Leopard when my discs arrive and my computing life will return to happy.
Lesson learned, not everything shiny and new is needed or better.

Solaris 7 install 'no disk found'

Good day,
I'm trying to install Solaris 7 on a Sun Ultra5. However it gets part way through the install then it displays an error message "'no disks found' - please check that all disks are cabled and powered".
I have tried a couple of different disks and a variety of disk packs, (models 611, 711, 911).
There's probably an obvious reason but I have exhausted all ideas thus far, so I apologise if this problem is a little simple : )
TIA

Try these comments:
Are they Sun disks, if so, reformat and try install again
if not Sun disks, you need to go to the manufactures website to get the make up of the disk, ie, block, sectors etc then use the 'type' command within format to create the disk.
are the devices set to cable select?
have you tried new ide cables?

Cannot download/install Lion on MacBook4,1

Hi,
I've just bought Lion to install over the top of 10.6.8 on an old MacBook4,1. I've redeemed the code I got from Apple and OS X Lion appeared in the App Store "Purchases" with a download button. But pressing the download button doesn't appear to do much, except asking me to sign in. Once signed in, I get a "loading" animation for a second, but then that disappears and the button still says "Download".
However, if I reboot, then "Downloading Lion (Paused)" or similar appears in the dock. I can click "resume", which does nothing. I can click "cancel", which also does nothing, unless I reboot again, after which it disappears and I'm back to square one, except I'm unable to see OS X Lion in "Purchases" unless I go into my account and unhide purchases.
I see nothing in downloads, nothing in applications.
Pint for anyone who can solve it.

Problem solved. It downloaded very very silently. Appeared in Applications eventually.

How do I get the download for Lion OS on my iMac if I don't have the App Store app?

I stopped by the Apple Store and they told me that they can't sell me Lion OS in the store. Since I have an older iMac with out the App store App, they said that I need to contact Apple Support. But do I have to do that via phone or can I somehow email them?

What you need is to get (buy and install) Mac OS Snow Leopard first; that includes the app store. After you install and update it, then you can launch the app store and buy/download/install Lion. Now, how old is your machine? Here are the requirements for Lion:

You will also need a minimum 2 GB RAM, but you really should have a minimum of 4 GB to get good performance.

Installed Lion but failed and did not boot

downloaded install lion, ran the install, restarted but all I got was the Apple Logo and the turning circle. Had the snow leopard updated prior.

Restart again, but this time hold down the SHIFT key and don't let go until you see a progress-bar.

I downloaded Montain Lion several times. I could not install. It said `could not be verified or corrupted'. How to solve this? Can I get a refund?

On your profile, you say that you are using Mountain Lion. Is that correct? If you are using Mountain Lion, you don't have to download the Mountain Lion installer again.
Also, that error is usually caused by problems with your Internet connection or your hard disk, so first, open Disk Utility, select Macintosh HD in the sidebar and verify the disk. If it's OK, you have problems with your Internet connection, so contact with your ISP

I've downloaded osx lion but cant install, it says cannot verify maybe corrupted or tampered during download. And I try to download again but it can't. No more download menu. It just appear " installed"

Can't believe no one tried to help you. If it is saying it's installed, have you tried to reboot while holding CMD and R together? it'll take you to the partition of Lion that has the install information, try re installing your os after verifying the disk in disk utility (also available after hitting cmd R). Instead of a disk, Lion makes a partition in your main HDD/SSD. The idea is you'll never have to boot from your original CD again.

I installed Lion online and i ran disk repair and found that i needed to do a repair but i have no start up disk. How do i repair without burning a disk?

Lion creates a Recovery partition on your harddrive. You will need to boot from startup.

HT4718 I want to do a factory reset on my iMac due to problems I have had since downloading mountain lion. Should I install my original mac disk (snow leopard) or will it reinstall mountain lion automatically?

I do need mountain lion so I can use icloud. When I downloaded Mountain lion I couldn't find any of my docs because (as it turns out) my hard drive was split and so now everything is in sepperate places and I cant find bits etc. So....... I want everything to be in one place, easy to use as before. I have everything backed up to an external hard drive now.

Install or Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion from Scratch
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 Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Erase the hard drive:
1. Select Disk Utility from the main menu and click on the Continue button.
2. After DU loads select your startup volume (usually Macintosh HD) from the
      left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
3. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Optionally, click on
        the Security button and set the Zero Data option to one-pass. Click on
      the Erase button and wait until the process has completed.
4. Quit DU and return to the main menu.
Reinstall Lion: Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion and click on the Install button.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible
            because it is three times faster than wireless.

I installed Lion OS X and Logic Pro won't run. I downloaded the 9.1.5 update: "An Eligible Logic Pro Version Was Not Found in the Applications Folder. This Update require Logic Pro Version 9.0 or higher". I have Logic Pro Version 9.1.1 installed.

I installed Lion OS X and Logic Pro won't run. I downloaded the 9.1.5 update: "An Eligible Logic Pro Version Was Not Found in the Applications Folder. This Update require Logic Pro Version 9.0 or higher". I have Logic Pro Version 9.1.1 installed.
I even pulled the dmg file into the Logic Studio folder in my applications directory and it still does not recognize it. What do I do now?

Niel: Thanks.
For others benefit, here is what happened.
I had installed Logic Studio 9.1 some time ago.......not knowing what all the programs were nor what they did, I created a "Logic Studio" subfolder in my applications folder and put all Logic Studio programs into it so I'd know where they were and could review each at my leisure over time.
My assumption now is that when the updater looks for the Logic Pro program, it looks only in the applications folder. It seems lame that it would not also look in the subfolders of the applications folder, but that apparently IS the way it works. Because my Logic Pro program was located in the "Logic Studio" subfolder, the updater just didn't see it..hence the error message I received when I tried to update.
Solution: I moved all the Logic Studio programs out of the subfolder and now they reside in the applications folder. Ran the 9.1.5 updater and it worked like a charm.
