Help! Need Mac OS X Lion redeeming code in Russia.

My iMac is begging me to ressurect his Lion OS.
The problem is - I don't know previous owner's Apple ID who got Lion installed on this iMac.
So here is a trick – iMac with Lion Recovery HD and me in Russia.
I tried to buy Lion @ App store, but I need to have US billing adress for that (and that's kinda depressing because I'm buying just a code for download my copy of Lion OS).
Is that anything I can do?

'You have not purchased Mac OS X v10.7 Lion with this Apple ID. Please use the Apple ID you used to purchase Mac OS X v10.7 Lion.'
Means just what it says. You have to login to the App Store with the exact same user ID and password you used when you purchased Lion. But how did you manage to even do that? You also note:
Erased the whole disk, go to install Mac OS X Lion, asks me for Apple ID. Enter my Apple ID and password, and says something like...
If you erased the disk, how did you manage to enter the App Store? Which goes backwards in your post to:
Back in the day, I used to use snow leopard. When Mac OS X Lion came along, I installed the GM version but it never asked me for my Apple ID.
What do you mean, GM version? Did you actually purchase Lion from the App Store when you had Snow Leopard on the drive? If you were already logged into your account in the App Store, then no, it wouldn't ask for your Apple ID to purchase Lion. It had already verified who you are.
Do this. Restart and hold down the Command+R keys to enter Recovery mode. Choose to reinstall Lion to the erased Mac partition. It will take quite a while as most of the OS has to be downloaded from Apple's servers.

Mountain Lion redeem code not working

Hi. I recently bought a Macbook Pro and it was 10.7.4. I got a redeem code for Mountain Lion and used it to download. In the downloading process, I accidently shutdown my Macbook. When I tried re-downloading again, a message pops up and says that the code can only be used once. Help?

I do have the correct code(Apparently.), but Apple said this code has already been used. Please help. I typed it when I was signing up my account for the App Store in the Redeem section and then typed it again in the Redeem under Quick Links. Yet, I check my purchases and it is not there.
Please help.
Edit: Never mind. ^_^;

Help! MAC OS X Lion says, "Disk damaged... cannot be repaired."

I hope someone here can help me out with my issue...
I successfully installed MAC OS X Lion to my desktop to transition to iCloud. I prodceeded to do the same on my MacBook Pro. However, after restarting my laptop as prompted upon the installation completion, the following message popped up: "Install Failed. MAC OS X could not be installed on your computer. MAC OS X Lion couldn't be installed, because the disk is damaged and can't be repaired. Click Restart to restart your computer and try installing again."
After pushing the restart button several times, the same message continues to pop up on my screen, not granting me access to my desktop and, consequently, my files.
Anyone else had this issue when installing Lion on their MacBook Pro? If so, any success in getting the window off your screen and returning to the previous version (with all files intact)? Any guidance is greatly appreciated. I'm afraid I've lost everything I have on my laptop, as I'm not one who backs up early and often.

Then please be clearer how you word you posts.
Same exact thing just happened to me,
No it did not
I am very upset because I actually called Apple Care and taked toabout 8 specialists on what wasthe best andsafest way to transition to icloud without running into any issues. And i just followed their advice, now I haveno laptop!
The Original Poster had a failed disk, you spoke to '8' specialists about an iCloud transition!! I think you should start your own thread with your seperate issue and stop confusing this post for the person who started it. All you have done is complicate it.

Help Needed for Resetting VoIP SPA 2100 Codes

Yesterday afternoon, I lost power to my home for a few minutes; until then my phone worked perfectly (for the week that I had it initially installed). I have the Earthlink TrueVoice program with a ZyXEL P 600 series DSL modem and direct Ethernet cable (NO router) to my ATA adapter (Linksys VoIP model SPA 2100). My computer is an HP Pavilion 8755C with Windows Millenium Edition. I have a standard (wire) phone connection. After the power was restored to my home, I tried to use my ATA adapter (Linksys VoIP model SPA 2100) to make a phone call, but there was a five-second delay between when I spoke and when someone on the other end of the line heard me. I contacted Earthlink through online chat and was told to do the following: Dial **** 877778 # 1 to reset the adapter. I did this and nothing positive happened (though I did hear a recorded English woman’s voice repeat the numbers I dialed); I did, however, lose the dial tone and was unable to connect to the Internet with my DSL. So, to conduct more online chat, I re-routed the Ethernet cable to bypass the ATA adapter; I was successful at restoring my Internet, but, obviously, I had NO phone service. More than 8 hours of online chats to Earthlink technical service resulted in failure each time. I swapped ends of my cables numerous times – no success. I removed the power cords to the ATA adapter and to the DSL Modem MULTPILE times for for up to 5 minutes – no success. The lights on the back of the ATA lit properly, but since the first time I tried the **** 877778 # 1 code, the Status light blinks and the light indicating “Phone 1” stays dark (yes, there is astandard phoneline connected to that port). I tried multiple codes to reset the ATA (re-coding instructions are separated by semi-colons): **** 877778 # 1 ; **** 877778 # 1 # ; **** 732668 # ; *** *73738 # 1 . I unplugged the power cord and Ethernet cable (to the modem) on the ATA adapter for about 1 or 2 minutes after trying to reset the code before reattaching everything (power cord always re-attached last). I tried each of these suggestions MULTIPLE times without success. One Earthlink tech wanted more specific information – the MAC address (which I was told is a 12 digit hexa decimal number that starts with zero). I told him what it was. He asked me to try a “ping” test; I was told to click on Start -> Run, type in cmd and hit Enter. A new window would appear and I should type in ping 192.168.0.1 and hit Enter. I never got to the “new window” because after I typed in “cmd” and hit Enter, I received the message “Windows cannot find cmd.” I was told to dial the code * * * * 110 # and to hear my IP address; I heard nothing. I noticed that the last time I tried to dial **** 877778 # 1, I was interrupted before I typed the final “1” because the recorded voice told me “invalid value.” Around 1 a.m. last night I gave up in disgust and went to sleep, disconnecting everything. I have now reconnected the DSL modem and made the direct connection to my computer (the ATA adapter is still disconnected from power and all connecting cables). I am not an idiot and I have some electronics experience (I have wired several home theater systems), but I have little computer experience (and none with VoIP) and right now I am totally frustrated. The tech support at Earthlink is virtually worthless. Please help (and please keep it in simple terms so that an ignorant individual like myself might learn – I need a nice step-by-step method (including times to wait between restarts, what cables/cords to disconnect and the order to disconnect/reconnect them (if that matters) to reset this device) Thanks from a neophyte who is not afraid to be honest and show his ignorance in this area of knowledge.

hi,
i have a SPA-2100 it's a Sipura, and it now asks for a password. I was putting all my settings in for voip provider and now can not get in my admin? i did try the 73738 and that did not work. I was able to put my providers sip and stun all in. is it i'm locked out from my voip provider? If so why would that be, because this is not their device, it's mine? but how do I get back in my admin or can the voip provider I put in, help?
thanks

Help with Mac OS X Lion clean install

I have a late 2008 15" MacBook Pro that has Lion installed which was upgraded over Snow Leopard. I have heard that performing a clean install can freshen up the system and is just generally a good thing to do. When I downloaded Lion from the Mac App Store I made a bootable disc because I heard it's something good to have just in case. I have also been backing up to an enxternal hard drive using Time Machine. So I was thinking about doing a clean install but I wanted to make sure of a few things and to get your thoughts on if it is actually a good idea or a waste of time.
I would format my hard drive then restart and hold down the option key, choose to boot from the disc and clean install. Once finished use Migration Assistant to move my data from the external hard drive with my Time Machine back ups and that should be everything done and dusted.
I know I have probably got something wrong somewhere and have maybe even got the completely wrong idea about the whole thing.
I would appreciate any help and advice, thanks.

Install or Reinstall Lion from Scratch
If possible backup your files to an external drive or second internal 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:
Select Disk Utility from the main menu and click on the Continue button.
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 Erase tab in the DU main window.
Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Erase button and wait until the process has completed.
Quit DU and return to the main menu.
Reinstall Lion: Select Reinstall Lion and click on the Install button.
Note: You can also re-download the Lion installer by opening the App Store application. Hold down the OPTION key and click on the Purchases icon in the toolbar. You should now see an active Install button to the right of your Lion purchase entry. There are situations in which this will not work. For example, if you are already booted into the Lion you originally purchased with your Apple ID or if an instance of the Lion installer is located anywhere on your computer.

Urgent help needed in two clarifictions of applet code

Hi,
I have an applet code where I have two buttons. Now, if button A is clicked it should pass a particular query string while if button B is clicked it should pass another particular query string.
I would like to confirm
1) Whether the query string passed is a valid statement(/approach) and
2) Why there is an error in assigning qryString to qryString1.
Thanks for any help/advise in advance.
THE CODE:
import java.applet.*;
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import java.io.*;
import java.net.*;
public class ReinApplet1 extends Applet implements ActionListener
TextField text;
Button button1;
Button button2;
TextArea taResults;
public void init()
button1 = new Button("A");
button1.addActionListener(this);
add(button1);
button2 = new Button("B");
button2.addActionListener(this);
add(button2);
taResults = new TextArea(2,30);
add(taResults);
// text = new TextField(20);
// add(text);
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e)
Object obj = e.getSource();
if(obj == button1)
String qryString = "select name from test where letter = A";
executeQuery();
if(obj == button2)
String qryString = "select name from test where letter = B";
executeQuery();
public void executeQuery()
String qryString1 =qryString;
try
URL url=new URL("http://localhost:8080/examples/servlet/ReinServlet1");
String qry=URLEncoder.encode("qry") + "=" +
URLEncoder.encode(qryString1);

uc.setDoOutput(true);
uc.setDoInput(true);
uc.setUseCaches(false);
uc.setRequestProperty("Content-type",
"application/x-www-form-urlencoded");
DataOutputStream dos=new DataOutputStream(uc.getOutputStream());
dos.writeBytes(qry);
dos.flush();
dos.close();

int chr=in.read();
while(chr != -1)
taResults.append(String.valueOf((char) chr));
chr = in.read();
in.close();
// br.close();
catch(MalformedURLException e)
taResults.setText(e.toString());
catch(IOException e)
taResults.setText(e.toString());

String qryString = "select name from test where letter = A";
...this is a local variable ...local to your actionperformed method. The reason the assignment String qryString1 =qryString; doesn't work is because you have no scope to your actionperformed local variables from your executeQuery method. Either make qryString a class variable bty defining it outside any method ...ot, alternatively, pass the string into the executeQuery method.
if(obj == button1)
String qryString = "select name from test where letter = A";
executeQuery(qryString);
public void executeQuery(String query)
String qryString1 = query;
...As for the sql statement, if you are going to refine the query through the letter column, you will need to pull it into the query when you select...
...such as: select name,letter from test where letter = B

Help needed in writting Customer exit - ABAP Code

Hi Friends,
I have a scenario in one of the query and need to write a customer exit for the same. Here is the scenario:
I am using one input variable XXX to get input from user which feeds value to one of the charateristic lets say "CHAR1" in query. I have one more characteristic "CHAR2" which has to get the value from the same variable XXX. This is not allowed in BI7.0 as the variable is Hierarchy Node type. It gives error that "Variable XXX is used for two different characteristics."
So i need to create one more vaiable YYY which will get the value from XXX and then YYY will feed value to CHAR2. I would appreciate if some one could tell me step by step how to write customer exit and give me the piece of ABAP code i need to write in my case.
Your help will be appreciated in terms of points.
Thanks,
manmit

Hi Arun,
1. What should CHAR2 take - Hierarchy node variable or something else ?
--> CHAR2 is a simple charateristic
2. In your scenario - why have CHAR1 and CHAR2 ? why not have the user enter values against CHAR2 ??
--> We dont want user to enter two input as the input values for both Chars are same.
3. Did you try using a replacement path variable with the CHAR2 variable taking values from Variable on CHAR1 ?
--> In BI7.0 replacement path variable only take values from Query results. So not able to do the same.
Thanks

Help needed with Snow Leopard/Lion partitions

I'm still using Snow Leopard but will be installing Lion soon. First I want to make sure I don't lose the few Rosetta/PPC apps that I still need.
I've read several threads about partitioning to create a dual boot for both Lion and SL.
What I want to do is this, and I'd appreciate a bit of help/guidance:-
I have two external FW HDs, daisychained. Both of them have two partitions.
External Drive A (500Gb) has one major partition (let's call it (1) ) that I want to leave for backing up everything, which I already do using CarbonCopyCloner. (I don't use Time Machine).
The other partition (2) is for specific files. When I get round to installing Lion, I will continue to backup on this HD, so the old PPC apps on it presumably won't work.
External Drive B (300 Gb) has one partition (3) that I use for backing up music files, and it won't matter what, if anything, Lion changes in them.
The other partition (4) on this drive is free and has about 30 Gb free. What I want to do is use my Snow Leopard Install disc and install SL onto this partition (4), including Rosetta, make it bootable and then add the few PPC apps that I need into it.
AFTER all that, I'm going to Install Lion onto my iMac (with the extarnals unplugged).
So in theory, I can boot either into the iMac drive itself for Lion, or partition (4) for Snow Leopard.
Questions-
Does this look like it'll work?
Does it matter that I haven't installed Lion before creating the SL Boot in (4)? Seems that several people have had problems installing Lion BEFORE trying to rescue PPC apps.
When backing up my music files from a Lion environment to (3), does it matter that the drive shares a SL partition (4)?

10.6 Ships with Symbol.ttf rather than Symbol.dfont. It's in /System/Library/Fonts/
If you absolutely need the .dfont you could pull it off an old system. I have one handy and can sent you a link, but the ttf is probably better to use. See attached for version difference between ttf, dfont and the windows SYMBOL.TTF.
The new one has ~30 more characters added to it and matches the windows version.

Help Needed - Mac Pro tells me to restart during start up

A couple of weeks ago my pc froze and the screen went fuzzy with green and blue, so I held the power button down. Upon restart, I was told I needed to restart my pc again, and from there it started up fine and I had been using it up until now.
This time I can't get past the initial loading page with the Apple logo and grey screen, and the green / blue glitchyness has reappeared. I m still prompted to restart my pc, but so far, after several attempts, none have worked.
Any ideas? For the record, I don't know a whole lot about the technical side of my Mac.

Help needed in finding appropriate event in code

Hi,
I am designing an online examination system where the students can login into the system anytime between a 'start time' and an 'end time'. The problem that I have is once the 'end time' has lapsed, I need to fire an event to make a state change to indicate that the time has run out for those students who are still solving the questions.
What event should be fired for this? As the state change code does not depend upon any event that the user performs.
Thanks.

"Share cannot be found" Help needed MAC to WIN XP

I have a MBP and I am attempting to connect to a Win XP Desktop with a external USB hard drive attached. I can access through finder ANY share on ANY internal hard drive on the XP computer no problem. I can SEE any share I create on the USB hard drive pop up in finder. When I go to access the share on the external USB I get an error saying "The operation cannot be completed because the original item for [sharename] cannot be found." Once again any share that is on a internal harddrive is fully accessable. I have no issues accessing any mac shares from XP. JUST no access on the mac from the USB HD... Any Solutions? Ideas? Chants? Sacred Dances? I almost want to throw the MBP out the window... Did I mention it used to work fine before I upgraded to leopard?

Welcome to Discussions!
What format is the external drive in?
(a chant may help-but I have yet to determine which one. )
Good luck!

Help Needed with issues of Lion OS...

I recently bought a Macbook Pro 13" manufactured in August 2011 with Snow Leopard OS. Since I have started using it, I have noticed some funny problems. Hope someone will be able to help me out with this:
* In my Finder Preferences, I have set the option of "New Finder window opens in" to open in a folder I have created called Work. However, every time I restart the machine and I open my finder window with the shortcut Apple + N , it keeps opening the window to the folder marked All Files. Even after continuously changing the preference back to the Work folder, this problem keeps persisting. Any suggestions on what I could try?...
* Very often while watching a movie or listening to music, I have found that the keyboard volume controls do not work. It gets sttuck on the highest volume and I get a sign showin a circle with a forward slash in it indicating that this function cannot be used. This gets rectified only after restarting the machine, but this is hapenning time and time again, and is getting really annoying...
* Lots of times, my folders keep opening in a new window, even though I have unticked the option of opening folders in new windows. Any idea of why this is hapenning and any solutions?...
* Also, I need to sort pictures in certain folders according to type, in order to mass-select pictures. But this just does not happen. Please do let me know...
