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.

    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.

    .dmg.part is not a complete file..  It usually indicates that the entire file has not been downloaded yet.  Are you sure you downloaded the entire file?   (i recommend updating itunes through  > Software Update

  • Purchased lightroom 5 before purchasing CC, technically I can install up to 4 lightrooms. How can I install lightroom without signing in to CC?

    Purchased lightroom 5 before I got myself a CC subscription.
    I have maxed out on the installation on 2 computers with the CC account. Now I wish to activate my original lightroom standalone license.
    But apparently I need to sign in to CC to install lightroom, which creates a conflict with my existing 2 computers. How can I install the standalone license?
    Thanks all.

    Download Light room, during activation choose the option to use the serial number.
    It should work, if it says that activation count is over, then you can try by deactivating CC , then install the standalone, then you can activate back the CC.

  • Installing Lion without internet connection

    I have a Mac Pro that has no ability to hook up to internet unless I carry it very very far to a different location.  However  I have a laptop with wireless internet connection.  Can I download Lion to my laptop and install it later on my Mac Pro?  what is the procedure? or can I somehow get the wireless laptop to supply my mac pro with internet?  I tried the internet sharing thing without success....

    If you have never purchased Lion, (eg. your Macbook came with it preinstalled) then ring Apple and purchase it. They will give you a redemption code and you can then follow the link and download it. Then transfere the download to your other computer (given that it is compatable with Lion) and install.
    If you have previously purchased Lion, then go the App Store and look under purchases and redownload it using the same Apple ID you used when you originally purchased it.
    Also transfere a copy of it to an external drive before installing so as to keep a copy of the installes should you need it again for any of your computers.

  • How can I install Yosemite without a landline?

    My only Internet connection is by wireless, with a basic budget of 10GB/month (of which I currently only have ca. 40MB left this month). I am therefore looking for some method of installing Yosemite without using my own link. I would like to download Yosemite to a USB Flash Drive at a friend's house where a better broadband connection is available and then use that to get the OS onto my iMac. However, on the Web I can only find descriptions of how to get the Yosemite installer onto a USB stick and am not clear whether that is all I need or whether the installer then downloads the bulk of the Yosemite data.
    Can anyone clarify whether the installer would be all I need or please tell me what I have to do to download Yosemite away from home.
    Thanks for any help.

    That is all you need.

  • How can I download Lion without the app store?

    My friend bought his Macbook pro summer 2009 so whatever operating system that it came with (10.5 lepord I believe) did not download the app store when it updated. Now he wants to put lion on his macbook pro. Is there a way to download it without the app store? If not, how can he get the app store?
    Any help would be great!

    Yes, you need to upgrade to Snow Leopard before upgrading to Lion. You can purchase Snow Lion from the online Apple Store, a brick-and-mortar Apple Store, or from Amazon.
    Then you will have the App Store application and you can upgrade to Lion.

  • How can I install CS6 without a disk drive?

    Hi there!
    I recently purchased the Creative Suite 6 Design and Web Premium addition.
    The sales person at the store assured me that despite not having a CD drive in my Macbook Pro there would be a way to install/download the suite with the product information in the box.
    So far, all I have been able to acheive is recovering my serial code. I am compeltely at a loss of how to even begin to start the install process without the a disc drive.
    Is this possible or did the sales person send me down the wrong road?
    Thanks in advanced!

  • How can i use Siri without Internet connectivity?

    Siri doesn't work without Internet.
    I was in a situation yesterday, when i was driving and have to call my Dad.
    Due to the bad weather, data services were down and when i used Siri to call my Dad's number, its just said "Siri not available, please connect to Internet"
    I can understand, that for Weather details, Web search etc, Internet is required, but at least Siri should handle in-phone features like "calling, Texting etc", without Internet connectivity.

    Even though it seems like Siri should be able to handle things such as dialing a number or dictating a text, an internet connection is required for Siri to function. There is currently not a way to get Siri to do otherwise.
