Getting lion back after HD replacement?

how do I get lion back on my mac after a hard drive replacement?

You can download all the files that are originally on the recovery partition of MBP that came with Lion pre-installed from the Apple website. Sorry I don't have a link but a google search will turn it up. With that download you can make a bootable USB stick that will get you to the screen where you download and install Lion from the Apple website.
Or you can buy Lion on a USB stick from the Apple Store.

I believe I had leopard and I was having issues getting errors of system not being supported. I contacted Apple and was advised I needed to upgrade to snow leopard. My laptop is from 2009 and I haven't done anything to it till now. The apple rep also stated I should do a fresh install when putting snow leopard on so my laptop would run faster. Apple rep told me to get a external hard drive to put my info on it so the fresh install would reset everything to like it was brand new. I had someone help me with getting everything on the EHD.. doing the right format and such and then once that was done I put in the CD for snow leopard and hit install. Which brings me to now, with everything but my pictures. I have the EHD plugged in... now what? What do I do? I have looked in the EHD in iphoto and it was all standard images *not my pictures but images of a check mark or an arrow again not actual pictures. I don't see a folder pictures and i looked for images and found nothing. I have Applications, Included Free Designs, Library, System, User Guides and Information and Users, those are my options and non of those have a "pictures"
I have iPhoto '09 version 8.1.2 & Mac OS X version 10.6.3

Photos
- If they are in an iPod backup then restore from that backup. See the restore topic of:
iOS: How to back up
- If you used PhotoStream then try getting them from your PhotoStream. See that topic of:
iOS: Importing personal photos and videos from iOS devices to your computer
- Maybe via How to perform iPad recovery for photos, videos

I rebooted my old MacBook. How do I get Lion back on there? I purchased it from the Apple Store Application

Just was wondering how to get Lion back on the computer, now that I've done a dull re-boot. Any help on this would be great!

Rebooting does not normally revert to a different version of the OS.
So what version is currently running?
And did you purchase Lion at the app store? If so, sign in and it should show up under Purchases and you can download and install it again.

Trying to upgrade to newest version of iPad software but not enough space on hard drive to backup the iPad. It is saying if I continue all content on iPad will be deleted! Can I get it back after uprade by just synching with itunes?

Trying to upgrade iPad software to newest version. It downloads but stops while backing up and says not enough space on hard drive to back up if i continue all media on iPad will be lostor deleted. Can I get it back after upgrade by just synching or can I set it to backup to an external drive? Thanks for any help. I only use the laptop for itunes now as it has such little space left.

I would recommend deleting contents off your hard-drive to make space (how much is left..you should be having 15% free as a general practice) and backing up the phone prior to upgrading.

My ipad tells me that my icloud email is already used. That is true. The one whom it is assigned to is me. How can I get it back after deleting it?

Deleting an email account for the the mail app will not have any effect on ther AppleId and its use for other services. You need to delete the old ID and set up the new one for other services suxch as FaceTime, App store, etc.
It sounds like you are trying to set up a new ID rather that just adding your old one back in. Or maybe I'm missing something.

How can i get songs back after erase and sync?

How can i get songs back after pressing erase and sync by mistake?

If they are no longer stored in your iTunes library and were only on your iPod, I'm afraid you are out of luck. Sorry.

Can I get music back after formating cpu?

Can I get music back after formating cpu?

If the music was RIP'd from CD, then the fastest way is to restore from your backup.
Since it sounds like you did not have a backup, you will need to reRIP them from your CDs. Nothing else you can do.
iTunes purchases you can redownload. Open iTunes, go to the store, click on Purchases on the right side under Quick links.
Then tell the tech who formatted it for you without making a backup or making sure teat YOU made a backup that his rear end has a vacancy sign and your foot is looking for a place to rent.
and you should make a backup right now of your computer and update teh backup after you RIP all the CDs.
And make it a regualr practice, like weekly, depending on how much you want to lose.

HT4711 how do I get iPhoto back after reinstalling mac os x lion?

I lost Iphoto app after I reinstalled mac os x lion, and cant get it back.....any suggestions?

iPhoto is not part of the OS X installation. It's a separate app.
Log in to the App Store and download it again - it doesn’t require a purchase.

Get mountain lion back after updates

HEllo.
I Bought a macbook pro 2 years ago, with mountain lion installed.
I made the update to mavericks and some problems occured. So i update to yosemite, and many problems occured.
i´m not satisfied with these os, so i would like to go back to mountain lion.
the problem is that i did not save my system with time machin, i did not download mountain lion installer, so now i can not get mountain lion back...
the reinitialisation utility gives me only mavericks...even when i go online.
IS there a way to get a mountain lion version for free ? I don't want to pay for it, I had it when i pourchase the macbook...
thanks for answers.

Boot into Internet Recovery (command - option/alt - R on a restart). It should install the OS that came with the computer. Note, this can take some time to connect to the server and to install.

Is there any way to get contacts back after them being deleted form iCloud?

My dad recently asked me to update his phone, so I plugged it into my computer to do so. For some reason just doing that resulted in his settings to change to have iCloud contact sync on. This resulted in our contacts syncing so his would show up on my phone and mine on his. He went on to delete all of my contacts from his phone, not realizing they were also being deleted on iCloud (therefore from my phone as well). I don't even understand why my contacts were not saved on my phone in the first place but all transfered to iCloud, but now they are gone from there as well. I tried restoring my phone from a backup on my computer a few weeks ago, however, this just restored everything else except for the contacts. So what I'm asking if there is any way to get contacts back that were ONLY on iCloud (because apparently apple doesn't realize saving something to a single place on the cloud isn't a good backup) but now are deleted. Does iCloud save this sort of information even after it is deleted?

The issue isn't that I need to restore the contacts from iCloud to my phone, it's that the contacts on my iCloud themselves have been deleted.
The contacts might be deleted from icloud.com, but if they were on your phone when you created your last backup, they can be restored from your backup by following the user tip. The backup is separate from the data you see on icloud.com.

How do you get pics back after you iPod deletes them?

I turned on my iPod today to show my cousin a photo I had taken of his baby. When it opened it said recovering photo library.. It had done that 1,000 times before so I didn't expect anything. After it finished I had 0 pics and 0 videos.. I know I didn't delete them because I hadn't even had my iPod it had been in my bag. I just really need to know because the pics that were on there were from the only time I got to see the baby before she had heart surgery. I cried for like 30 minutes because I have NO WAY of getting them back because my iPod wasn't backed up with iCloud and I had forgotten to put the pics on my computer. I just really need help. PLEASE HELP PLEASE!

- Try a reset. Nothing is lost
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- The only thing left is a program like
Recover files from iPod Touch | Restore data iPod | iPod touch undelete, unformat
iPhone Recovery Stick - recover deleted text messages & more
However, no one has posted that they work and they cost money.
In the future, backup frequently.
