How do I buy OSX Lion?  Can't Seem to Find a Way

I have an old MacBook (pre-unibody).  I upgraded to Snow Lepoard and was going to upgrade to Mountain Lion, but my system won't support it.  I can do just Lion, but can't seem to find anywhere to buy it.  I'm trying to get to the cloud.  Help....

If you need to purchase Lion call 1-800-692-7753 or 1-800-676-2775. Ask for a Sales Representative. They will check your Apple ID, and email you a code and instructions.  The cost is $29.99 (as it was before) plus tax.  It's a download.

  • I created a new Apple ID for iCloud on my iPhone, but I can't seem to find a way to "sign out" or "log out" of that Apple ID (for iCloud) to sign in with another Apple ID. The only account login I could change was the Store. How do I "log out"

    I created a new Apple ID for iCloud on my iPhone, but I can't seem to find a way to "sign out" or "log out" of that Apple ID (for iCloud) to sign in with another Apple ID. The only account login I could change was the Store.
    How do I "log out" or "sign out" of iCloud on my iPhone? There is an option to delete the account, but I just want to log off. I want to keep the account name for future use.

    Turn off iCloud completely
    Depending on whether you want to stop using iCloud on all or only some devices, do one or more of the following:
    On your iOS device’s Home screen, go to Settings > iCloud, then at the bottom of the screen, tap Delete Account.
    Note:   If you delete your iCloud account, iCloud will no longer back up your iOS data. You can still back up your device in iTunes (for more information, open iTunes and choose iTunes > Help). 
    On your Mac, open iCloud preferences, then click Sign Out.
    If your Mac has OS X v10.7.5 and you turn off iCloud, your calendar information and reminders aren’t stored locally in iCal. If you want to retain your calendar and reminder information, you need to back it up before turning off iCloud. For more information, see the Apple Support article iCloud: Calendar & reminder data removed from Calendar and Reminders or iCal when disabling iCloud Calendar.
    On your Windows computer, open the iCloud Control Panel, then click Sign Out.
    Note:   If you turned on automatic download of music, app, or book purchases (in iTunes preferences or in Settings on your iOS device), your iTunes purchases are still downloaded to your devices.
    Set up iCloud on your devices

  • I installed Lion on my MAC book and now want to uninstall it, can't seem to find a way to do it, any suggestions?

    In order to uninstall Lion and "downgrade" your OS, you have to erase your drive. There is no other way. If you have a bootable clone or a Time Machine backup, it is easy - just boot with it, erase the drive, and clone back. Or, do you have your install disks? Boot from that disk, erase the drive and reinstall.
    Make sure you back up your important files first since they will be gone.

  • After updating to the latest version of Firefox on my Mac there is no progress bar for the page load. I really miss this feature and can't seem to find a way to obtain it.

    The page load progress bar that was on the lower right of the window is no longer there. After updating to the latest version of Firefox on my Mac there is no progress bar for the page load. I really miss this feature and can't seem to find a way to obtain it. The tab has a circular progress wheel but this is useless for determining a stuck or slow loading page.
    PLEASE NOTE: I am typing this in from a Windows based work computer but am asking about my Apple MacBook Pro that i use at home.

    Firefox 4 saves the previous session automatically, so there is no longer need for the dialog asking if you want to save the current session.<br />
    You can use "Firefox > History > Restore Previous Session" to get the previous session at any time.<br />
    There is also a "Restore Previous Session" button on the default <b>about:home</b> Home page.<br />
    Another possibility is to use:

  • Trouble with forwarding emails. Can't seem to find a way to get rid of previous senders' email addresses before myself forwarding on the email. I used to be able to do this before I upgraded. Any ideas?

    Current Firefox versions have enabled a new build-in PDF Viewer and that viewer doesn't have all the features that the Adobe Reader has.
    You can change the action for Portable Document Format (PDF) from Preview in Firefox to use the Adobe Reader or set to Always Ask.
    *https://support.mozilla.org/kb/change-firefox-behavior-when-open-file
    You can set the pdfjs.disabled pref to true on the <b>about:config</b> page to completely disable the build-in PDF viewer and use the Adobe Reader instead.

  • How many copies of osx lion can you install from one itunes account

    How many install can you ut into efect from one itunes account with osx lion?

    elstgav wrote:
    I believe it's five.  It's tied to how many computers you can authorize with one iTunes account. (The same applies to music, apps, and other stuff downloaded from the iTunes Store)
    The iTunes, 5 computer limit does not apply here.  As per the license agreement, if you obtain Lion via the Mac app store, you are granted permission to install on all Snow Leopard Macs that you personally own/control.  If you have Lion pre-installed on a new Mac or obtain it via a USB key purchase method (reportedly coming in August), the license only permits use on one Mac. 

  • In my iPhone 4 interface (running OS 7.0.4), a red number used to appear, to indicate a new text message. That number hasn't appeared for a few weeks. I can't seem to find a way to turn it back on using the Settings. Is this a bug?

    A red number used to appear in my interface when I receive new text messages. That number no longer appears. Scouring the Settings to turn it back on hasn't been successful. Is this a new bug? How can I get the red number to appear again?

    Quit, then relaunch the App.
    Restart the device.
    Reset the device.
    Reset all settings of the device.
    Test after each step.

  • Recovery system failed and now I can't seem to find a way to start my MacBook

    My MacBook Pro 13" had been giving me small but recurrent problems lately. Every couple of days for the past two weeks the spinning beach ball had been showing up and the Mac ended up asking me to hold down the power button to turn it off and then restart the laptop.
    I checked and repaired the HD via disk utilities. It said it was repaired but it didn't make any difference.
    Yesterday the beach ball appeares much more often (every half an hour, or less) so I decided to start in Recovery mode (cmd - r) and then just fully recover the system from the external HD I use with time machine.
    That's when it went even worse. The recovery from the back up failed saying I should try again but when I try to start the MacBook only does two things: one - if I don't hold anything down it gives me an error and makes me force shut down the computer, which gives me the idea that everything is erased from the hard drive. And two - if I try to press again cmd - r, first the apple logo shows up and then it changes into the prohibited sign. It keeps thinking for longer than 5 minutes.
    I don't know what to do anymore.
    Is there another way to try to recover my time machine backup from the external HD?
    What kind of problem could be causing all of this?
    I have to add that as I'm traveling and away from home I don't have with me the system CDs that came with the MacBook.
    Any ideas on how to try to restart and recover my MacBook?

    Make sure you get the Original Replacement set of system discs. That usually costs more than $20. Some where around $40. What it sounds like is whoever you spoke to wanted to sell you a snow leopard upgrade disc. Which may work but it would not included the ilife applications. You really need the Original system discs, not a upgrade os disc.
    You have to be specific when you call them. You have to state you need the Original system discs. To get them you have to give them the serial number of the system. If whoever you are speaking to never asks for the serial number of your mac then they are not going to send you a replacement set of original system discs. You need to ask to be redirected to the correct department to get the original system discs. Let me state again the Original system discs, not a upgrade os install disc.
    Hope this works out for you.

  • I synced my ipad with my macbook air but the contacts on the ipad were all deleted. Can't seem to find a way to restore them. Contacts on macbook unaffected

    I tried syncing my ipad with my macbook and checked the box to replace the contacts on the ipad with the contacts on the macbook. Now the contacts on the ipad have been deleted (address book now empty). The macbook contacts have been unaffected. I'm not syncing with icloud. Any solution?

    James Ward4  Thanks for your suggestion.  I have tried the video app and it appears to have some, but not all of the downloads which are viewable without wifi, so I will now review the download process and see if I can capture the missing episodes.  Thanks again.

  • I want to get my original photos out of aperture and can't seem to find a way to do it, I can't locate an original folder, I understand that images I have edited won't be exported I just want to have a copy of my files out of the system

    I want to have my photo files all in one place.  I want them out of the Apeture libary structure.
    Thank you
    Joe

    Hello Joe,
    do you want to continue using Aperture or do you want to manage your images yourself?
    If you want to continue using Aperture, but to be able to browse your images without launching Aperture, then relocate your master image files:
    Select all images in the Browser
    Use the File menu:     File -> Relocate master        and select a folder, where you want to store the master image files.
    Be warned, that you must not edit, change, tag these files in any way, unless using Aperture itself to do the modification. Otherwise the link between master image files and version in Aperture may be broken.
    Make sure you have a working backup of your Aperture Library before you do that.
    But why do you want access to your images outside Aperture? Aperture as a digital asset management system is supposed to be able to manage you images in versatile a way, to give you access to all information you need. So what are you missing?
    Regards
    Léonie

    or the family pack of 5 licenses
    http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC574Z/A
    Buy it quick, as many feel that when Mountain Lion comes out SL disks will go to the secondary market at more than $29 for single or $49 for family-pack
    Make a good backup first, preferably a clone, as you may need it if the upgrade does fail.

  • If I buy OSX Lion now can I get Mountain Lion later next month for free?

    Any idea?

    Only on a new Mac.
    In simple terms, you either need:
    A qualifying 10.7 Mac purchased on June 11, 2012 to 10.8's release date, then you have 30 days afterwards to upgrade to 10.8 for free.
    Bought a qualifying new 10.7 Mac on or after the 10.8 release date which you then have 30 days to request a free 10.8 upgrade.

  • How do i get OSX LION back on the computer?

    I dropped my laptop and the hard drive is no longer working. I am going to purchase a new hard drive and install it but my question is how do i get OSX LION back on the computer? I will be installing a new bare drive and I heard that Lion is download only. I also want to make sure i get all the apps i had back too. any help or guidance is appreciated. thanks!

    this is my opinion. but in this case, you need to install previous OS that has a dvd, which in my case, i installed Snow Leopard first. it cost 30 dollars new.
    after you have SL operates and do all software updates, you can download lion and install it over snow leopard.
    hope someone here have a better and quicker solution straight to Lion.

  • How do I install osx lion server in vmware fusion (app store version)

    i cannot seem to find a way to get a .dmg to download to use / mount / whatever
    mac mini running osx lion

    I just get the "server" application,
    Tried sending it to trash and tried redownloading just to the point where the "downloader" completes but it looks like the server application reappeared.
    Is the server no longer a operating system and is downgraded to a application that runs on top of OSX 10.7?
    How would I go about running OSX Lion then in Vmware fusion then?
    It came preinstalled on my mac mini.
