How come I can't get snapchat for my iPad?

How come I can't get snapchat for my iPad?

What country are you in ? I can find it here in the UK store and it's also in the US store - search for 'snapchat', and then on the results screen tap the 'iPad only' button at the top left and select 'iphone only' instead (the app is optimised for the smaller iPhone-sized scren, so won't show in the 'iPad only' view).

Where can i get osx lion

Hi i have a macbook pro that came with osx lion and would like to uprgade my white macbook 2008 to osx lion 10.7 But i upgraded my macbook pro to 10.8 and i don't have osx lion on a cd or flash drive where can i purchase osx lion

Lion is still available from Apple. You will have to call Apple Customer Care 1-800-692-7753 or 1-800-676-2775. to purchase it. Then within 3 days you will get an email with a code which you can use to download Lion from the App Store. The price is $19.99.
You must have at least a Late 2006 model 2,1 MacBook.
Lion will require at least 2gb of RAM but really needs 4gb to run smoothly.
As for third party programs see this list for compatibility with 10.7 http://roaringapps.com/apps:table
Also Lion doesn't run any Power PC programs. To see if you have any Power PC programs go to the Apple in the upper left corner and select About This Mac, then click on More Info. When System Profiler comes up select Applications under Software. Then look under Kind to see if any of your applications are listed as Power PC. Universal and Intel will run under Lion.
Before Mac switched to Intel processors in 2006 they used Power PC processors from 1994 to 2005. Power PC 601 through 604, G3, G4 and G5. Applications written for the Power PC processors need the application called Rosetta to run on Intel processors. This was part of the Operating System in 10.4 and 10.5 but was an optional install in 10.6. With 10.7 Lion Apple dropped all support for Power PC applications.

HT4718 how can i get osx lion its not on the app store and i have factory reset my macbook pro and now cant download even though i brought it a year ago?

i might be stupid, but i cant find osx lion which i paid for a year or so ago, all it shows is mountion lion which i would have to buy. anyone have any ideas as to how i can redownload lion osx, 10.7.5 thanks.

Hopefully, you saved a copy of that ill-designed installer which deletes itself during the installationi process, necessitating wasting resource DLing it over and over again. Sheer madness and toatlly anit-green in behavior.

How many macs can I put osx Lion on when I buy?

When Apple releases osx Lion today at 8:30 am eastern time, will I only be able to install it on my mac or can I install it on up to say 4 macs with one purchase of the program?

... This is one of the biggest benefits of Mac App Store distribution: As with any applications you purchase from the Mac App Store, you’ll be able to install Lion on any Macs that are authorized with the Apple ID you used to purchase the OS....

Bought OSX Lion on Family pack have purchased new hard drive where can I get OSX lion now

Had a family Pack under Aplle where we shared all updates on OS X one computer has installed new hard drive but no copy available now for OSX lion How do we solve this problem?

Not sure what you purchased as a "family pack", but Lion does not have that option available. However, if you purchase it from the app store, then the license authorizes you to download it as often as needed on any computer YOU own and control. Since it is tied to your Apple ID (the ID used to purchase it), no one else can download it. Even if you gave other family members your Apple ID to use, it would be violating the licensing requirements and be considered software piracy.
If you installed a new hard drive on your computer or another computer you own, it should be available. Since this is a new blank hard drive, you may need to reinstall the original system (Snow Leopard?) and then go back to the app store as you need to have SL installed to download Lion. If you made a bootable clone of the old drive, you could simply clone that back.

How come I can't get any sound out of my speakers

I have a mid 2011 iMac...can't get sound to come out of the speakers... It was working earlier today... I checked to make sure everything was connected and not muted... Thank you in advance for any help out there...
Shane

Go step by step and test.
1. System Preference > Sound > Output > Internal Speakers
    Highlight Internal Speakers / Headphones
    Make sure that Mute is not enabled.
2. If you see red light in the headphone port, plug the headphone
    in and out of the port 5 or 6 times to flip the microswitch inside.
    Sound output may be stuck in the digital mode.
    Try this even if you don’t see the red light.
3. Reset PRAM. http://support.apple.com/kb/PH14222
4. Reset SMC.     http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
    Choose the appropriate method.
5. Applications > Utilities > Audio MIDI Setup
    Audio Devices window
    Side Bar
    Click the Built-in Output.
     Make sure that no box is checked under “Mute”.
6. System Preferences > Sound> Sound Effects
    Play sound effects through:
    Select "Internal speakers" and then back to "Selected sound output device".
7.Launch iTunes and play a song through headphone and adjust the volume
   in the Mini player.

How come I can only get 200 of my 700 songs to show on my display in my new truck?

My operating system has nothing to do with my question but I was asked to enter the info. I have a 4th Gen iPod & do not know why I can only get 200 of my 700+ songs to show on the display in my new truck. All my songs are from purchased CD's or iTunes. The dealer of course has no idea why this is happening. Please help.
Thank you,

This needs to be done manually, either by transferring them from the first computer, or using the Transfer Purchases function if applicable, or by clicking here and following the instructions.

Can I get my Lion os back if i reset 2008 MacBook to factory settings

Hi, i want to reset my 2008 macbook to factory settings but i have just upgraded to Lion. Can I get Lion back once the reset is complete or will I have to pay to download it again?

Keep in mind that if they ever need to re-install lion they won't be able to re-install without your apple id. But all you have to do is load recovery partition by holding command + r at startup until you see apple with spinning gear then release
Once you see the language screen continue using english then select disk utility once disk utility loads you can select mac hd or whatever you call your hard drive in the colume on the left. the select the erase tab mac sure mac os extended journaled is selected for format (Should be by default the select erase once erased close disk utility the select re-install mac os x from the list.
