Frustrated with Mountain Lion. Where can I get Lion instead?

Since I can not upgrade from Snow Leopard to Mountain Lion, where can I purchase/download OS X Lion instead? Can not find it anymore in App Store or Apple website. Please help.

You can still get Lion but you have to CALL the Apple Web store, and or Phone ordering #, and they will email you a code you can use on the Mac App Store to download Lion. Cost $29.99.
It is something like 1-800-MY-Apple.
NOTE:
If they sell it to you and you download it SAVE those files to another folder on your drive and use the lastest version of this program,
Serial Serveur » Lion DiskMaker (US)
To make yourself a Lion Install USB thumb drive so you will always have a way to reinstall Lion on all but the newest Mac computer you own (the newest Mac's have a special build of Lion that the normal Lion installer will not work on).

Restoring MPBR with Mountain Lion instead of Lion

Help i'm trying to restore my MBPR 15" and when I go to the restore panel on startup it only restores to regular Lion not Mountain Lion. The Macbook came with Mountain Lion and i'm not selling it. I just want a fresh copy of Mountain Lion and I really would not like to buy it off the App Store.
Thanks

Did you ever register the computer with Apple? Register Your Apple Product and Your Support Profile for Registered Purchases.
I'm really not sure what you are doing, but here's the correct process if you have a Recovery HD:
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/Mountain 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.

No prob with 7, but where can i get support for my Logic 6? Nobody?

Hello everyone, My name is Aytekin Kurt and I'm a well-known producer in my country, Turkey with a career including a national No.1 and a dozen Top 10 tracks as a writer and a producer. What's more, I was in Oakenfold's Grammy-nominated (Best Electronic/Dance Album) Creamfields CD with my track "First Sight". I have been using Logic (since version 4.7) since 2000. I even gave lectures on how to use Logic in a pro production environment. Always a big fan of Apple (All my desktops, laptops, iPods over the years...) and Emagic. However, I'm about to go crazy with a Logic 6 issue and no-one's helping me out. This *****.
I have no problem with my Logic 7 (Support ID:R1CY2ABHRPW)
which I use in my studio with a PowerMac G5. It's amazing. What Apple and Emagic have done together to Logic is incredible. I love using it, which I do almost every single day. But, I also have a Logic 6 on my laptop (G4 15"). My XSKey had problems and I wrote to Emagic and asked for urgent help. Then, the key was working fine and I forgot about it. In a month's time I recieved a second key and was asked to send my old key back to Germany and then get access codes for the new key. Well, I did NOT do that, cause the old one was working and I was working everyday on 2 different projects.
Last week, when i was just about to upgrade to 7, I lost my first key. I kindly request Apple or Emagic to somehow help me and give me codes for the second key I have. So, I can activate my Logic 6 and then upgrade it to 7. But, Apple suggests (on the website) to contact Emagic. But, no-one replies to those e-mail addresses they put in there...
What do you suggest I do? This is frustrating. I need those codes. I guess without those codes, it's useless to go get an upgrade package, right? What kind of a support understanding is this? Where is the support for Logic 6? Since Emagic is NOT functional anymore, why doesn't Apple support us on former versions? Just help me upgrade to 7.
Any one with any ideas? Anyone knows how to contact Emagic? (rather than [email protected] or [email protected] and all the phone numbers we used to be able to call)
Thanks in advance
Aytekin Kurt
[email protected]
P.S.: All of this might seem irrelevant on a Logic 7 forum, but I'm still a Logic (both 7 & 6) user and I tried everything else....

What version of the Mac OS is it running? That might narrow the search, It's easier to find stuff that runs under 10.4 Tiger than anything older. The only recently updated browser that still runs under 10.3.9 Panther is Camino 1.6.11, updated about a year ago. It's free and here:
Camino 1.6.11
BTW, "where to get" questions around here are much more easily answered if you provide a geographic location. Otherwise people will load you up with links to places that may not ship to your location.

I have a problem with my Internet Security and the new Firefox, where can I get the previous version which I had before my system crashed?

Hi I use CA Internet Security Suite which checks ALL pages and searches, but it does not work with this version, also I wish to use Goggle Toolbar which ALSO does not work with this version where can I get the previous version? As my harddrive crashed I have had to install windows 7 and this version doesn't seem to allow me to change my homepage, why is this? Cheers Ernest

You can get the latest version of Firefox 3.6 from http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html
Mozilla are working to prevent Mac users with non-compatible systems from getting the notification about Firefox 4, and also not displaying the "Download Firefox 4" button on http://www.mozilla.com

Call Apple to purchase replacement discs or order a copy of Snow Leopard from Apple's Online Store. Follow these instructions:
Drive Preparation and Install 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. 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. When completed quit DU and return to the installer. Install Snow Leopard. Once you boot from Snow Leopard you should open Software Update and install all the available updates required. After you complete this and restart the computer open the App Store application in the Dock or Applications folder.
8. Sign into the App Store with your Apple ID and password. Purchase and download Lion.
9. After Lion's installer downloads, install Lion.

I was out of town for a few days. I had no issue installing the driver on Mountain Lion (10.8.2). What specifically happens when you try to install?
If you get this message:
then you need to right-click on the installer package and select 'Open' when you get this message:
If this isn't your issue you need to be more specific about what is happening.

Where can I get a mountain lion download or disk. Mavericks I need to downgrade

I upgraded to Maverick when it came out. Unfortunately, I did not have a backup of the disk with Mountain lion on it. The laptop came with mountain lion preloaded. How can I get another copy?
<Subject Edited by Host>

If your Mac came new with Mt Lion Pre-Installed it will always be available to you.
You have to boot the computer to the Online Internet recovery system by holding down the Command + Option/Alt + r key at startup and hold them down until you see a globe on the screen. That willl boot the computer from the Apple servers from across the internet. Once that fully loads you can use Disk Utility to repartition the drive as one partition to remove all traces of Mavericks and then use the other option, once you exit disk utility, to Reinstall Mac OS X and Mt Lion will be downloaed from the internet.
You can also use that same system, once Mt Lion is reinstalled on your hard drive, to save a copy of the download and make your own Mt Lion reinstall DVD or Thumb drive. Google search for make your own Lion, Mt Lion reiinstall thumb drive for directions.

This is not necessarily 100% correct at the current time.
As Dropbox is encouraging people to set it up for automatic uploading of photos they gradually increment your space as you load more pictures for free at the current time.
You do start with a fixed 2 GB but if you upload photos you will be awarded more free space.
You can also open a free account with Flickr - you may have some upload limits per day but you can upload pictures there.

You have 90 days of free AppleCare telephone support, click AppleCare Contact Info for the number on your part of the planet and call them, they will give you instructions on how to get your license of the iWorks apps.
