Fresh Install of Mtn Lion on new SSD More Difficult Than I Thought
Today I installed my brand new 512GB SSD from Crucial. Had wanted a fresh install of Mtn Lion, but that turned out to be difficult. As a result, I resorted to a restore of my most recent Time Machine backup, which completed just fine.
Changing out the drives was simple and quick. I then inserted my formatted USB Drive, held down the Option key, and re-started my laptop. So far so good, and I was asked which drive I wanted to install Mtn Lion on, but the problem was that my new SSD was not listed as one of the options, so I took out the new drive and re-inserted my old SSD.
When I ordered the new drive, I ordered the one that came with a Data Recovery Kit, which included a CD and a nifty little adapter that attached to your drive, with a short USB cable on the other end. I attached the adapter to the new drive, plugged in the USB end, and then opened Disk Utility. I then realized that the new drive was never formatted, so I thought I had found the problem as to why the new drive never showed as an option when I wanted to install a fresh copy of Mtn Lion. I quickly reformatted the new drive, then re-installed it in my laptop, then re-started and held down the option key. Still, the new drive was not showing as an option to install Mtn Lion.
However, it did show as an option if I chose to install a Time Machine backup, so that is what I did, and the restore process was quick and effortless. In the end, I have a new 512 GB SSD and am happily continuing with my computing. Still, I have to wonder why the new drive was never available to me as a destination option for a fresh install of OSX 10.8.2.
Any ideas if I missed something along the way? Why did the new SSD not show as an option for a fresh install?

Drive Preparation for Lion
1. 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. Select Disk Utility from the main menu and click on the Continue button.
2. After DU loads select the SSD (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. 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.
4. 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.
5. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Security button, check the button for Zero Data and click on OK to return to the Erase window.
6. Click on the Erase button. The format process can take up to several hours depending upon the drive size.
7. After formatting is done quit DU and return to the main menu. Select Reinstall Lion and click on the Continue button.

How do I do a fresh install of Mountain Lion on a SSD?
Hey guys, tried searching on the forums for this but I couldn't find it. Doesn't help that my internet connection has having severe issues today either!
I just bought myself a new Macbook Pro a couple of days ago and finally have the time to set it up today. It currently has the normaly 500gb hard drive in there. Now I have an SSD in my old Macbook Pro, which I will be formatting and placing into the new MBP. How would I then go about doing a fresh install of Mountain Lion without the Mountain Lion setup file? I know I can purchase it on the App store, but I shouldn't have to do that as my new MBP is of course Mountain Lion.
Any suggestions?
Thanks guys.If it wasn't a Mac computer that originally came with either Lion or Mt Lion Pre-Installed by Apple when new you would not be able to connect to the Online Internet Recovery system. It is a Feature of the Mac EFI Firmware system. And it will only install whichever version of the Download only version of OS X that originally came on that system.
My MBP came with Lion Preinstalled. Even if I have Mt Lion installed on the hard drive the Online Internet Recovery system would always point my MBP to the Lion download as that was the original version of OS X that came on my Mac.
No real authentication needed. Since your Mac came with Mt Lion no matter what newer versionof OS X you ever install the OIRS will always point you to Mt Lion and ONLY Mt Lion.
It is something different, but not completely different, from the built in Recovery HD partition on the internal drive.
No worries as during the install of MT Lion on your SSD the installer will Recreate the Mt Lion Recovery HD partition on your SSD. -
Can I do a fresh install of os x to new SSD and restore applications with time machine?
I am upgrading to a new ssd. I have my current system backed up with time machine. Can I install/format (extended journaled) and then recover my time-machine stored application to my new ssd?
"BTW, you should NEVER use the Finder to copy items from TimeMachine. Use the TimeMachine application to recover files and applications."
I don't know how to use the finder to copy files. I am assuming I will be propted to use the TimeMachine application as a part of the clean install from snow leopard ( I am not upgrading to lion as of yet...). I will have my mac os x disk, time machine partition on a seperate external hard drive, BlacX 2.5/3.5 HDD usb docking station and new blank crucial m4 ssd at my avail. save for my wits... -

Problem doing a fresh install of Mountain Lion on replacement blank drive
After a close call in which the internal drive on my late 2009 21.5" iMac needed repairs unexpectedly, I acquired a replacement drive (WD Black 2TB) on which I planned on starting fresh with a clean install of Mountain Lion rather than cloning the existing installation that went through so many upgrades over the past 3+ years.
I now have a perfectly bootable WD Black 2TB drive attached to the USB port of the iMac. I can boot from it, use the Recovery partition if I need to. My contacts and Safari tabs and bookmarks are synced up through icloud. I am even able to install traditional software. Everything appears to work fine except.... I cannot install any application acquired from the Mac App Store.
When I go to the purchased icon of the Mac App Store, all apps show as already installed. I read several articles suggesting holding the option key when clicking on the "Installed" button, unchecking the "automatically install applications bought on other macs" etc. to no avail. A call to Apple Care is requiring futher research. I am now reaching out to the community for advise.
A important hint here is that, for some reason, when I boot from my fresh ML install, that OS sees the internal drive as an extension if itself, and treats all Mac App purchases there as already installed. Using Spotlight to find any of the apps marked as Installed invariably points to the Applications folder of the Internal drive. I have been unable to 'disable' the internal drive or unmount it.
I would rather not swap the drives until I complete a full installation of the OS and applications and data on my new WD Black 2TB drive. But from what I can see, this appears unavoidable. I can't believe I am the first one to run into this situation, hence my call to this community.

I was trying to do a fresh instal of Mountain Lion. By fresh I mean clean.
Firstly, my iMac disc drive isn't really working to well, so I have Mountain Lion on a usb.
I started up and held the option key.
Entered into disc utility mode, and started doing everything correct.
Then near at the end I when i'm required to select a start up disc it doesnt show anything... Help?
I checked around online and saw this tutorially and notice I had done something different.
http://macs.about.com/od/MountainLion/ss/How-To-Perform-A-Clean-Install-Of-Os-X- Mountain-Lion-On-A-Startup-Drive.htm
on page 2. where it says
When Disk Utility opens, select your Mac's startup volume from the list of devices. If you never changed its name, the startup volume will be listed as Macintosh HD. Be sure to select the volume name and not the device name, which will usually be the name of the physical drive, for instance, "500 GB WDC WD5."
I think I may have selected the device name. Is this the cause of my problem?
Can I fix this ? Please help?
I live in Auckland in New Zealand, I don't have any apple stores hereOk, I realized that won't work, I don't think, because you can't enable it on your Mac.
However, if you have another Mac, you can use Firewire Target Disk Mode to install. Boot your Mac while holding down the T key. You will see a FireWire symbol on the screen. Then, connect the two with a Firewire cable. Your Mac hard drive will show up on the other. Try to install onto that.
This may not work, depending on the other Mac. If it is similar to yours, it should.
I'm not sure if you can do it the other way. If you put the DVD into the other Mac and boot it into Target Disk Mode, then boot yours holding down the option key, you may be able to select the DVD on the other Mac as the startup.
This very old article seems to indicate it will work: http://lowendmac.com/misc/06/0914.html

Cannot restore files after fresh install of Mountain Lion.
I just did a fresh install of Mountain Lion. I backed up my User Folder manually using an external harddrive. Now that I'm in Mountain Lion, I cannot use the Migration Assistant, because the Drive does not appear, it just keeps spinning saying "Looking for Computers" or whatever it says. (Yes, I chose Time Machine Drive or other Drive from the list) and if I try to just overwrite my user folder by draggin the one I have on my harddrive, it says it can't be modified. So now I'm stuck and can't restore any of my old files and folders. Help!
Restart with the Command and R keys held down and install the OS from there. Click here and scroll down to or search for 'Installing OS X on an external storage device' for more information.

Do I need a Fresh Install of Mountain Lion?
Hi there! I need to do something to fix my computer but I am not sure what exactly. I could use some help from some more experienced people to I do not mess anything up.
System
2011 MacBook Air
-Mountain Lion
-Time Machine
-16 GB Flash Drive
Problems
I have a legal copy of Windows 7 and wanted to partition my HD so I could run it. I went into boot camp and it put Windows on my flash drive but when it went to partition my HD, I got the error "Files cannot be moved". I did some research on this error and discovered I need to reformat my drive. I decided the best thing to do would be a fresh install of Mountain Lion and then move my data over from Time Machine. This would fix my Boot Camp problem and free up some aditional wasted space.
Stipulations
While I have everything backed up on an external HD through Time Machine, I also have other files that are only saved on that disk. So I cannot erase my external HD and use it as a cloned drive or anything.
Solutions?
I need a fresh install of Mountain Lion and then transfer all my data from Time Machine. I have done this many times with older Macs, but I always had an install disc. What Should I do?
-thanks, JakeRemove some files from the hard drive. Either delete files that can be deleted or move files to an external storage and then delete them from the hard drive. Then boot in to repair by holding cmd+r when the comp is starting then enter disk utility and repair your hard drive. Then boot the computer like normal. This should fix this error allowing you to go ahead and partition the drive for Windows 7.

Can I re-download Lion onto new SSD from Store?
Forgive me if I am posting this under the wrong section. I have a new SSD and I do not want to clone my current hard drive. My question is, after I fresh install snow leapard, can I re-download Lion from the App Store?
Thanks for the response. I have Lion on my Macbook Pro now so I would assume that changing the hdd to a ssd would not have any effect on the requirements. I just wanted to make sure I could re-download it again once I do a fresh install of snow leopard.

Thank you.2 ways to buy Lion. $29.99 as a d/l from the App Store (you need Snow Leopard installed). If you own another Mac with Snow Leopard, you can create an installer DVD/USB) or you can buy the Lion Install USB from Apple for $69.
When you boot from the installer, Select Disk Utility, then erase the disk. Then quit Disk Utility and install OSX Lion.

Mountain Lion on new SSD, other files on other internal HDD
I've been using Mountain Lion from day one, but would now like to put it on a new SSD drive in my Mac Pro.
All my working files (music, photos, movies and emails) have all my files backed up on other drives, so want to do this as a clean install (and not migrating any other files over at the moment, other than emails).
I want to have ML on the SSD drive including all applications I use, but to have Documents, Movies, Photos and Downloads on hard drive (non-SSD) as have more capacity on this. When needed, I will transfer the files to this hard drive from the other drives they are on now.
How can I do this by keeping the majority of my Home folder on another drive.
Any help and advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
MattThe simplest way to handle this -- AFTER you've migrated or re-installed OS X to thenew SSD - -is then to move your entire home folder (which by default is a subfolder of /Users) to the other drive. That's something I wanted for my 2011 iMac, which came with a factory-installed SSD as well as an internal HD, with OS X and /users already on the SSD as start-up drive.
I found out how by using my AppleCare to phone Apple support. But the same procedure they described seems to be what's at http://macs.about.com/od/diyguidesprojects/qt/Move-Your-Home-Folder-To-A-New-Loc ation.htm . -
Fresh Install of Mountain Lion how do I export users from Lion Server
I've been having some issues with Lion Server, mainly Kerberos related and Profile Manager. So I want to start fresh with Mountain Lion.
I've installed ML and Server, and profile manager is working now for the first time (yay!)
Now I want to Import all my existing Open Directory users from Lion, I don't want to Import the entire OD though because I think some of my kerberos issues will just get carried over to ML.
I would like to just export the Users to a file then use ML server to import users from file, but I can't see an option to export in Lion Server, I have tried doing it from WGM on Lion but the 'users' file is not recognised by ML serverGreat thanks for the reply, I'll try it tonight when everyone has logged off.
Yeah I was very pleased initially with kerberos on Lion, it worked great to start with, now I'm just getting expired tickets for a default realm when some users log in, yet other users continue to work fine.
I was planning to slowly install Mountain Lion Server and test is thouroghly but I've had a bit of a disaster that if forcing me to go live with ML server quicker than I wanted to!
Basically because on Lion Server I have all the Service Data on a separate drive, and I upgraded to ML server on a backup copy of Lion Server just to see what it was like, though now I've rebooted the original Lion drive but half of the services are now screwwed up because the ML Server must have changed them, so things like Wiki Server and Profile Manager are now broken from the Lion Server boot, they just show "Error Reading Settings"
I realise now I should have moved the Service data back to the local drive before doing a test upgrade so I wouldn't have messed it up! but now it seems like my best way forward is a fresh install of ML Server -
Have MacBook Pro, Airport Extreme router, Mtn Lion 10.8.1 and want to print wirelessly with HP 3054 610a which was installed 2 days ago via USB. Prefer to set up the printer on the wifi network, but how do I enter ssid and passphrase. On the printer control panel only has WPS option.
You didn't look far enough .... http://www.hp.com/global/us/en/wireless/printer-setup-help.html
The next thing is to look in the manual that accompanied the printer for how to use the wireless setup wizard!
This is specific to your printer ..... http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c02217452&lc=en&cc=us&dlc=en &product=5109847#N728 -
Install OS X Lion on new hard drive without a physical copy/install disc
Hi,
i´ve just upgraded my new macbook pro with a bigger harddrive. While I don't own (didn recieve) a physical copy of OS X Lion, i can't (respectivily don't know how to) install the operation software on the new HD. Is there a way to install OS X Lion anyhow?
Greetings
StanYou first need to install Snow Leopard and then, you can install Lion via the App Store.
I suggest making a copy of OSX Lion on a USB key. "Lion Diskmaker" from "macupdate" will walk you through the process.
