I downloaded Lion but can't install. I get a message that tells me to "check my internet connection" but the connection is fine. Has this happened to anyone else?

If you are going to sell a system that did not come with Lion installed you use the media that came with it to revert it to as it was when new, (after overwriting the entire drive).
If you have a new system that came with Lion and you do the same as above, using the rescue partion. That partition is not tied to any user out of the box. That is unless the software asks you to sign in with an Apple ID before running Restore. In which case I would simply just overwrite your main partition and allow the next user to run the Restore from the Recovery Partition.

Running iTunes 10.7 on Mac OS X 10.8. Downloaded but can't install iTunes 11.0.2. Why not, can I

Running iTunes 10.7 on Mac OS X 10.8.2. Downloaded but can't install iTunes 11.0.2. Why not, how can I & should I?

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
The latest iTunes version is 11.0.1 version. 11.0.2 does not exist. Have you tried opening Apple menu > Software Update and install iTunes 11.0.1? If it doesn't show up, you have already iTunes 11.0.1

HT1338 I had downloaded d iOS 6.1.3 software bt after downloading I can't install into my iPhone

I had downloaded d iOS 6.1.3 bt after downloading I can't install into my iPhone

This is the procedure for updating iOS, which can be done on the device, or through iTunes.

There should not be a step where you download the update separately.
If you are referring the downloading as an automatic part of the overall process, can you explain the failure in more detail?

Downloaded but can't install - keep getting an error message because I never upgraded Keynote to 9.0, just pages and numbers

Downloads but can't install the upgrade because I never upgraded Keynote, just Keynote and Numbers so I keep getting the error message about Keynote, which I don't use. I just want to upgrade Pages and Numbers.

If you purchased Pages and Numbers from the MAS:

Mountain Lion can't install but won't let me quit the installer!

Mountain Lion can't install but won't let me quit the installer! How can I get back to the desktop?

I was having the same problem with my iMac. Couldn't left click with the wireless mouse, i tried all the steps above to no avail. I then tried to use another mouse, this time bluetooth and still had the same problems. I decided to see if my trackpad, which sits in the corner of my desk and never gets used, and then i realize that my cat is lying on top of the trackpad which was causing my problem the whole time.
I hope your fix was as simple as mine.

Bought a New Macbook Air w/Lion can I install Lion on my old Machine

I just bought a new Macbook Air with Lion preinstalled on it. Is it now possible to download Lion again to my old Mac, or since I didn't purchase it from the Mac Ap store I'm out of luck. I was able to download the new versions of iPhoto, Rockband and iMovie on the old mac, but no luck so far with Lion. I guess I'm paying $30, unless somebody has a thought?

That's odd... I upgraded 4 Macs to Lion and have not had any earth shattering work stoppages. A little bug here and there but nothing that caused any mentionable issues.
It is kind of unhelpful spouting off what you have read and not experienced.
You have read about people with issues because this is a forum where people come for help. You are reading about the installs that have had issues not about the million+ that have worked.

OS X Lion - Can't Install Adobe CS 5.5

Add this to the growing list of problems I'm having since "upgrading" to Lion yesterday...
After the upgrade, my Adobe CS 3 apps would no longer run. I received a prompt telling me that "licensing had stopped working" and I needed to uninstall and re-install the Adobe software.
Instead, I opted to finally upgrade to CS 5.5. However, after going through all of the install steps and got to the standard "enter password to allow Setup changes" (paraphrasing), I fell into a "do-loop". After entering my user name and password, the same dialog popped back up. I entered it several times thinking it might want it for each application in the Suite...I stopped somewhere above 25 times.
I tried selecting just a single application rather than the entire Suite, but got the same result. I created a new Admin account and tried the install with that, but also got the same result. I also booted in Safe Mode and tried the install... same result.
I am posting this here rather than the Adobe site since I have recently installed CS 5.5 upgrades on pre-Lion sytems recently with no issues.
Any thoughts?

I think and hope (I did not update to Lion yet) that it is just a Java issue. My understanding is that Java is required by Adobe CS install, and that Lion does not install it by default anymore (so, you have to select it).
So, try to install Java in your Lion install, and then run the installer.
Hope this help

I got os lion downloaded but can't install why

I can't get my os lion to install after one of the longest downloads ever

Hi ..
Which Mac OS X do you currently have installed? Click the Apple icon top left in your screen. From the drop down menu click About This Mac.

I downloaded lion no problem, installed no problem , but what if you want re install osx leopard , will you have to pay for it again, i can't find the download

How can you recover the download

Nobody is answering - I think you meant "How can I recover/save/reinstall Lion" if I need to.
Couple things: always keep backups, and include a bootable (clone) backup.
There are articles on Lion Recovery and to install Lion to another drive; to save the installer; to burn a DVD with Lion; and, to maintain and keep Snow Leopard (OP said Leo but I would HOPE everyone knew their intended OS was SL and not just plain olde 10.5 Leo). You had to have SL DVD to even buy Lion.
How to create an OS X Lion installation disc MacFixIt
How to keep Snow Leopard when upgrading to Lion
OS X Lion Install to Different Drive
Upgrading to Mac OS X Lion Protocol
Using Cloning as a Backup Strategy
So backup. Then you can either upgrade, or do a clean install too (and make sure to save the Lion DMG before you do the Install w/ restart as it will get deleted and removed from your system unfortunately - wish like iTunes it would ask "Do you want to save to DVD now?"

How many copies of osx lion can you install from one itunes account

How many install can you ut into efect from one itunes account with osx lion?

elstgav wrote:
I believe it's five. It's tied to how many computers you can authorize with one iTunes account. (The same applies to music, apps, and other stuff downloaded from the iTunes Store)
The iTunes, 5 computer limit does not apply here. As per the license agreement, if you obtain Lion via the Mac app store, you are granted permission to install on all Snow Leopard Macs that you personally own/control. If you have Lion pre-installed on a new Mac or obtain it via a USB key purchase method (reportedly coming in August), the license only permits use on one Mac.

Is it possible to download lion and not install it? (save for later?)

I have just started the download, but after reading the reviews, and knowing that I have microsoft office 2004 which is not compatible, and it will be a while before I can buy the new microsoft packsge, I need to wait to install lion, as I need the microsoft for my school.
Does anyone know if you have to install it right away, or can you keep it for later on?
Thank you

well, it has been 3 hours already and it is still downloading ... hopefully it doesn;t take all night !
My download was about 3.5 hrs on a 10mbps cable modem. (Averages about 9mbps for me.) Many people with DSL will be slower. In my area, DSL goes down to 1.5mbps for the "basic" package and so a Lion download was several hours for some people I know.
Even if it does take "all night", the installer will pause at a "continue" button, which you can then cancel the install at that time. So you don't have to watch the download continuously, if you're worried about that.
...I have seen a lot of bad press on these boards ...
As someone once said elsewhere: these forums are like hospital emergency rooms. You only see sick people here. Those that are well and not having problems tend not to post "all is fine with me" and such. While there are some legitimate issues with some people's upgrade, we just won't hear from the millions of others whose Lion upgrade went just fine. And some of the "bad press" is people just not liking any of the changes to the way Lion does things. (i.e.: Resume, reversed scrolling.) To some, any change is bad and they immediately don't like it without seeing if new feature is actually is better or not. Which I find ironic since if one really doesn't like change, why would one upgrade in the first place?

Reformatted, reinstalled Lion, can't install Creative Suite 3

I have a dual Hard drive. I reformatted both to be rid of iCloud.
Installed the them both first with Snow Leopard (Maxtor first, then Baracudda)
then reinstalled Lion onto the Baracudda and turned off iCloud for everything
except mail.
Re-installed MS 2009 for Mac, and iWorks, but my Adobe Creative Suite 3 Design Premium will not even boot up
for reloading. I went through all the steps (so far) in troubleshooting and in Safe Mode and received the following
message, but note sure what to do, or whether they are talking about Lion or the Software.
Adobe does not have anything on thier site as an installer (the last time I reinstalled the same thing occurred but
luckily it "caught" on an attempt and loaded. Adobe believes that because they put out 2 more versions since
2008 they don't own me any support on this $1200.00 software now.
Anyone have any suggestions on this? I hate to add anymore programs until I get this one in, then I plan to use the
Maxtor as the back-up drive for the Baracudda.
Thank you,
Delores

Grant you lost me ... not sure when you are talking about the Mac OS vs Adobe CS3.
I have installed the CS3 onto Leopard and Snow Leopard, and I have run it okay after I installed Lion
while it was on.
Now that I have Lion on both HD's, are you saying that may be why CS3 will not re-install? If so, one
would think that I would still be able to download the online version but nothing at all downloads.
They had me go through so many hoops (even to install Firefox) to see if IT downloads, now they want me to
see if I can download it into my laptop - but I don't USE it on the laptop, I do most of my work on the desktop!
I am seriously considering filing a formal complaint with the FTC. A $1200.00 program bought 5 years ago
should still be usable in my humble opinion, but they are now up to series 6. Sounds like Microsoft putting out a new cmoputer every 18 months ! That is why I switched to MAC.

Mac App Store says that Lion can be installed,but it is already installed

Hello,
today I opened the Mac App Store and I clicked the tab ''Purchases'' and I saw that in OS X Lion it was saying to install it. But the problem is that I already have Lion installed in my iMac(v10.7.3). Why is this happening, is it a bug or there is a problem with my iMac? Thank you in advance!

What you have purchased in the Mac App Store is the installer for OS Lion, not the OS itself. So you can still download the installer, it's just that you already have Lion.
