How can I create a Lion USB Thumb Drive with the 11E2068 build?

It seems that the Lion build from the Mac App Store is not compatible with my Macbook Pro Retina 15''. It's seems I would need the the build 11E2068 for my USB thumb drive to work properly.
I don't want to go through the internet recovery and loose 8 hours.
Is there anyway for my to get that build(11E2068) on my USB thumb drive?
Thanks,

keg55's given you article that allows you to capture the installer. These are the critical portions:
Once that data has been downloaded, Lion Recovery restarts your Mac, immediately installs the OS, and then deletes the installer data. The trick is to interrupt that process—safely—so you can grab the installer data and keep it. Here are the steps to take:
IMO, Apple needs to rethink this process. Unless users with machines that had Lion preinstalled, like yourself, let Apple know this process is terrible, they'll not change their minds.
7. IMPORTANT: Monitor the download’s progress. As the progress bar gets near the end, get ready, because once the status reads About 0 seconds remaining, the progress bar will disappear, the installer will spend a minute or two cleaning up, and then your Mac will restart. As soon as the screen goes dark, unplug your external drive. If you wait too long, your Mac will boot into the Mac OS X installer on that drive, starting the installation process. Interrupting that process can leave your Mac unable to install OS X unless you restart it and—I’m not joking—zap PRAM.

You might also be able to reinstall Lion without a flash drive, by booting up the computer holding the Command + R keys, and choosing Reinstall OS X.

I've bought Lion USB Thumb Drive, how to make a backup of it?

hi i've bought the Lion USB Thumb Drive because my internet connection is super super slow.
now, the Lion USB Thumb Drirve arrived is super small and fragile because it's a Mini-B type USB connector, with all the metal exposed.
So I try to make a backup copy of it onto another USB drive.
wondering anyone know how to do it?
all the internet resourse I can find only teach how to make a USB from the downloaded version, but I don't have the downloaded version, so the method taught doesn't work because there is no "InstallESD.dmg" inside it.
any solution will be greatly appreciated.
many thanks in advance.

After you install Lion, use: Lion Recovery Disk Assistant
It's not the Install Disk, but it has the ability to Install Lion OS X
You can also try:
Open up Disk Utility and Click on the "Restore" tab, choose the Apple Lion Install USB as the source and your flash drive as the destination. Hit the Apply button and it may create a bootable USB drive. (the flash drive must be formatted as GUID)

OS X Lion USB Thumb Drive can run from usb stick?

OS X Lion USB Thumb Drive can run from usb stick[no install]?

Your questions are easily answered by means of a web search, which you can do as well as I can. You can order a Lion installer on a USB stick. I don't know how big it is, and it doesn't matter, because all you can do with that stick is install Lion, which is what you don't seem to want. If you have a Mac and want to be able to run Lion from an external storage device, the capacity of the device has to be at least 7 GB.

I hope you understand that if you buy the Lion USB installer with the intention of installing onto a PC, or running Lion on a PC without installing, you'll be wasting your money. It won't work.

How can i create a new usb connection (service) on my iMac for sharing internet from my iPhone5 ( i seem have to deleted it )
i know its not a problem whit my carrier o data plan or sharing preferences on the ipone because when i use it un my laptop it works perfectly through
the usb and even works on the Imac through wifi and bluethood tethering but NOT through usb!!.
the problem is that trying to make it work i deleted the "profile" usb iphone on the network prefereces panel. Now i only have 3 options: ethernet / wifi / bluetooth
but not the usb iPhone i used to have.
And when i try to add a new one i dont get a USB option.
can some one help me please??
this is how it looks (after the bluetooth PAN i used to have USB iPhone option)

The question would be more appropriate in the Mac forums as it is not really related to the iPhone.

A USB thumb drive with data created in Windows is not showing up on my desktop. Do I need a different driver or something?

A USB thumb drive with data created in Windows is not showing up on my desktop. Do I need a different driver or something?

OK in order to read those files you will need MS Office for Mac or install MS Windows on your Mac. You can get MS Office for Mac from anyone that sells Apple products. I would suggest the Apple Store, Best Buy, Amazon etc...For help getting the data from the memory stick I'd recommend visiting your local Apple Store or AASP and they can help you move it. It should be as simple as plugging the USB drive into your USB port and then open a Finder Window where you will see the drive on the left pane. If you don't know what Finder is or how to open a new Finder window you need the sites I've noted below!!!
Because you are new to OS X I would strongly recommend you bookmark and frequently visit the following web sites:

Can I use a USB thumb drive with iPad

Can I use a USB thumb drive with iPad2

What do you want to do with the thumb drive?
If for picture/movie files, You can use a USB flash drive & the camera connection kit.
Plug the USB flash drive into your computer & create a new folder titled DCIM. Then put your movie/photo files into the folder. The files must have a filename with exactly 8 characters long (no spaces) plus the file extension (i.e., my-movie.mov).
Now plug the flash drive into the iPad using the camera connection kit. Open the Photos app, the movie/photo files should appear & you can import.

OS X Lion USB Thumb Drive

If I buy an OS X Lion USB Thumb Drive can I use it to erase the OSX Lion hidden partition on the internal hard drive and install Snow Leopard? I have more problems with Lion than with any other OSX that I've used since 1986 and want to return to the last of the non-BigBrother OSXs.

Downgrade Lion to 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. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
4. Quit DU and return to the installer. Install Snow Leopard.
This will erase the whole drive so be sure to backup your files if you don't have a backup already. If you have performed a TM backup using Lion be aware that you cannot restore from that backup in Snow Leopard (see below.) I suggest you make a separate backup using Carbon Copy Cloner 3.4.1.
If you have Snow Leopard Time Machine backups, do a full system restore per #14 in Time Machine - Frequently Asked Questions. If you have subsequent backups from Lion, you can restore newer items selectively, via the "Star Wars" display, per #15 there, but be careful; some Snow Leopard apps may not work with the Lion files.

OS X Lion USB Thumb Drive - do I need it?

Hi,
I bought OS X Lion USB Thumb Drive and feel doubtful about the necessity of such an expensive purchase
Can someone tell me in which cases (with Lion installation) I can't definitely do without this OS X Lion USB Thumb Drive?
Thanks!

Relative to $29.00 for the download, if you want expensive then price a boxed Full Windows 7 install. (http://www.microsoftstore.com/store/msstore/en_US/pd/productID.235488300?Icid=Wi nCat_CModLink_Win7HP_PID_235488300)
Here is some info I gleaned from the net to educate myself on the usefulness of the Lion Thumb Drive.
The Thumb Drive is OS X Lion sans Internet. Apple's USB Thumb Drive does exactly what it's supposed to do: unleash OS X Lion. If and when something breaks, you won't have to rely on Apple's Internet-based Recovery HD to restore your Mac. The OS X Lion USB Thumb Drive is an easy, elegant, and efficient way to install Apple OS X Lion without relying on your Internet connection.
The USB drive doubles as a Lion recovery disk, meaning you can use the thumb drive to revive (or try to revive, at least) a sick Mac.
When you boot from this drive or DVD, you’ll see the same Mac OS X Utilities screen you get when you boot into restore mode.
I have used mine to upgrade three intel Macs which is much easier than downloading even once. I also upgraded a my 10.6.8 Bootable rescue thumb drive I made to run disk utilities for trouble shooting.
Best of all I dont have to depend on a Internet connection or an external DVD drive. Independence is priceless.

OS X Lion USB Thumb Drive on New HDD?

Hello Apple Gurus!
Here's my situation.. I'm working on a Dual-Core Intel Xenon Mac Pro running 10.4.11. This machine has been put through heck and highwater; I am the 3rd person to sit at this station since it was purchased and I've been putting this poor Mac through its paces for almost 4 years now.
The company has just approved an order for a bunch of new hardware and software for my department, but because this machine is already an Intel, I'm stuck with upgrades instead of a new machine, which is fine this machine has pleanty of horsepower for graphics and web work. It's just that I do not trust the HDD enough to upgrade the OS. It has so many hours running, I'd feel much safer using new hardware to put the new software onto then drag any relavant work files over from the old 10.4 drive.
My question is this.. I have a brand new, freshly formatted 320gb SATA drive. If my company purchases the 'OS X Lion USB Thumb Drive' from Apple for $70.00 will it allow me to install 10.7 onto this new drive, even though I do not have 10.6.x ? I know I'll get refused the purchase of a disc for 10.6 then another purchase for a download of 10.7 so I'm looking for a one-step solution.. otherwise I'll be stuck with 10.6 until Mac OS 20 comes out :'(

Yes, you can install on the hard drive. You can either upgrade an existing Snow Leopard system or you can install Lion cleanly by erasing the target the drive first.
