How can I install Lion (10.7.5) on new iMacs 13,1

I have software and printers that will not work with Mountain Lion. Have partitioned and installed Lion on new partition using an older Mac as a slave and booting the new iMac as target disk. The Lion software installed, but now when booting Lion, partition just hangs with ghostbuster sign. Same with Lions recovery partition.
Why Apple any work arounds? Have not yet tried external drive with Lion installed. Any ideas appreciated.

New models that came with Mountain Lion pre-installed cannot run Lion. There is no known backward compatibility.
I suppose you could try running Lion in emulation using VM software like Parallels or VM Fusion.

I own two i macs. I bought and installed Lion on one computer. How can I install Lion on the other computer without additional charge?

I own two I macs. I bought and installed Lion on one computer. How can I install Lion on the other compute without additional charge?

If it's the same email address Apple registration on both, use the 2nd computer and go to the App Store and find Lion. If different, use the second computer but log in to the App store with the address you used on the first go round. The buy button should instead say install. Then go through the same process again.

if you follow all 7 steps you can directly download a trial here: http://prodesigntools.com/photoshop-elements-11-direct-download-links-pse-premiere-pre.htm l
and activate with your serial number.
if you have a problem starting the download, you didn't follow all 7 steps, or your browser does not accept cookies.
the most common problem is caused by failing to meticulously follow steps 1,2 and/or 3 (which adds a cookie to your system enabling you to download the correct version from adobe.com).
failure to obtain that cookie results in an error page being displayed after clicking a link on prodesigntools.com or initiates the download of an incorrect (eg, current) version.

I bought a student version of CS 5 a few years ago, and just got a new computer (a MacBook Air). The computer doesn't have a CD drive, so how can I install my CS 5 onto my new computer?

You can open nearly all of them. Pages will open AppleWorks 6 Word Processing documents but not AppleWorks 5 ones.
Word Processing documents can be opened directly only in Pages.
Draw Documents can be opened directly only in EazyDraw (the more expensive version from their website, not the cheaper one from the Mac App Store, and you will need v4.0 'Retro' not the most recent version) or Intaglio (though this appears not to be able to handle very complex drawings). (It's possible to copy Draw documents into a Word Processing document in order to open them in Pages, but you need AppleWorks to do this in the first place.)
Spreadsheets can be opened directly only in Numbers.
Presentations can be opened directly only in Keynote.
Nothing will open AppleWorks databases or Paint documents: the only way to access them is to open them in AppleWorks and export.

How can I virtualize Lion if I bought a new Mac with Lion preinstalled?

Hi folks. I read that you were allowed to virtualize 1 instance of Lion after purchasing Lion. How can I virtualize Lion if I don't have any install media with one of the new macs?

If you bought on of the new MacBook Airs or Mac Minis, you will have a short term problem as the you will not be able to download a fresh copy of the Installer. See my post here.
This problem should go away soon probably with 10.7.1
If onthe other hand you bought one of the oleder models and it came with Lion, then you can download another copy of the installer by:
Open the App store.
Hold down the option key while selecting "purchased"
Lion should now say "Install" rather than "Installed".
Click install to download a new copy of the Installer.
As soona s th installer automoatically opens after doqnloading, quit it
Save a copy of the installer from Applications.

How can I install lion without internet ?

I have Lion installed on an old Mac mini. I have created a DVD from the downloaded installer, as a backup in case of hard drive failure. But, if I disconnect the ethernet cable, the install from the DVD hangs, waiting for an internet connection.
How can I bypass the internet requirement to get my system back running and get the OS re-installed ?

I tried this again. I believe the first time I disconnected the ethernet cable AFTER the install had started. It expected to be able to check for updated modules, and when it couldn't it hung.
The next time, I disconnected the ethernet cable -- and made sure Airport was off, too -- and then started the Install from DVD. It ran through to completion without pausing for the internet. Problem is sequence of disconnection, not in the install process.
Thanks.

HT200165 How can I install my Aperture program to my new macbook?

I would like to install my Aperture program to my new macbook. Does anyone know how this can be done? Apple says that it is legal to do so, but their instructions are full of doublespeak and jargon. Can anyone please simplify the answer?

If you downloaded Aperture 3 from the Apple Store and not the AppStore, then you cannot download it from the AppStore to your other mac. You need the original installer disk image you downloaded. If you did not keep that, download the Trial installer - you can unlock it with your registration key.
A copy of the Trial Installer is here:
Aperture 3.1 Trial.
Download the Aperture 3.1 Trial.
Open the Aperture Trial disc image.
Double-click the "Aperture Trial.mpkg" file.
Follow the onscreen instructions to install Aperture.
After the installation completes, choose Software Update from the Apple () menu.
Install the Aperture 3.4 update from the list of available updates.
Note: If you are using OS X Mountain Lion v10.8.2 or later, you may receive an alert stating that Aperture is from an unidentified developer. This can occur when you try to install Aperture from DVD or the trial download. See OS X Mountain Lion: The app is from an unidentified developer for details on how to successfully install Aperture in this situation.

How can you transfer photos from iPod Nano to new iMac?

My friend has an ipod nano. Here's a photo, not sure what gen. it is.
He had a PC that no longer works and has no data left on it. His original iPod Photos were stored on that PC that no longer works.
He has since purchased an iMac and is running Lion OS X, all up to date.
The problem: He NO LONGER has the ORIGINAL PHOTOS, only the ones on his iPod Nano, that used to work with his PC, which no longer functions.
He would like to copy the photos stored on his iPod Nano, to his new iMac.
Using finder, he went to Device, then clicked PHOTOS and dragged the folder to his desktop. It said there was 1.43 GB of content.
However, all that was saved to the desktop was (see other photo) Photo Cache, Photo Database and Thumbs. There are no photos at all. What is he doing wrong? Thanks.

There are a number programs out there for recovering photos from an iPod, have a look at the ones below. If you search the internet you can find more. Just be aware that what you'll be recovering will be photos optimised for the iPod so they won't be the same quality as the original full resolution versions:
iPodPhotoCopy Windows only
CopyPodPhoto Windows only
Tansee iPod Transfer Photo Windows only
iPod Photo Liberator Mac & Windows
TouchCopy Mac and Windows Versions (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
If you have full resolution copies of the photos on the iPod have a look here: Apple Knowledge Base article - Use Disk Mode to copy photos from iPod

I just bought a new iMac and only have the aperture cd, how do i install aperture 3 back to my new iMac

i just bought my new imac but i only have the aperture 3 cd and do not have a drive how do i install aperture 3 or where do i download from and then just insert the cd key.

You either burn a disk image of your CD (using Disk Utility) on a mac that still has a drive and transfer the disk image on a thumbs drive or network, or download the Aperture 3 Trial Installer.
Download it here Aperture 3.1 Trial
After running the Trial installer go immediately to Software update in the -menu, and only after updating to the most recent version launch Aperture and enter your registration code to unlock the Trial. Then launch it by double clicking your Aperture Library or clicking the Aperture icon.

How can I still edit my iWeb site on new iMac

My mid 2007 24" iMac which has served me well has memory problems. I now work with much larger projects ( Logic Studio + video ) than earlier, and have to continually keep clearing the memory as I work. I have the maximum 4 GB RAM ).
This is halting progress so seriously that I'm considering changing it for a new iMac .... 27".
My question is: How can I still edit my iWeb site on a new iMac, when iLife is no longer included, and so presumably OS 10.7 doesn't support iWeb ?
Will be grateful for insights.
Thanks,
SeaDream.

Well thanks. Sounds so complicated, though. Would another option be to backup my present Mac HD ( with Snow Leopard ) to an external HD and simply edit iWeb from there ?
As long as I also backed up this external HD, would this be a possibility ?
