How do I install Lion after Beta

I currently have a beta version of Lion Build (11A390). I purchased Lion from the app site but I cannot update the newer version. What could I do to install the newer version?

No. I have the developer build which is the same as the release build. I expect at some point I may have to erase my hard drive and reinstall a release version. If you don't procure your operating system from the normal retail channels, even if it is legitimately licensed, you may not be able to participate in the normal update behaviour. I'm not saying you will have problems, I'm just saying it is a possiblity. The original poster has a really old version. All bets are off in that case. Erase and reinstall.

You will need to do a clean install, first back-up all of your data or clone your hard drive with carbon copy cloner. Then format (erase) your hard drive, then install Mac OS X 10.6,

How I can install Lion after harddrive change?

Hello community,
I got my iMac back from a service provider who have replaced my harddrive, because it had a defect.
Now I can't start Mac OS Lion. I get no error message, only a folder sign with a question mark.
I thought the internet recovery mode does help, but it doesn't appear on my system.
The German Apple Support can't help and suggest to go to another service provider.
Do you have a idea to solve this problem?
Thank you in advance.
Frank

Ivitini, la única forma para arreglar el problema fue llevar el MacBook Air al servicio técnico de Apple, en mi caso es en Chile y lo llevé a Mac Online, y, como el computador está aun con garantía ellos me reinstalaron todo. Formatearon el disco duro y lo dejaron como nuevo... que era lo que yo quería hacer. Se demoraron 2 días, entre que lo revisaban y le instalaban el sistema nuevamente.
No me dijeron cual fue el problema, pero lo solucionaron.
Creo que el problema de fondo puede ser el ROUTER, que de seguro si fuese un router APPLE no tendría problames. El que tengo es un D-Link bien cototo, pero no se la pudo. Esa es la única explicación que tengo al tema.

How do I install lion on multiple family computers?

How do I install lion on multiple family computers?

Once you have purchased Lion for download via the App store, you can repeat the process with each computer and the App store will indicate that you have already purchased it and will ask you if you want to download and install it on each computer.

How do I install Lion on more than one Mac

How do I install Lion on more than one Mac? As I have a MacBook Pro and a iMac?

Purchase Lion on one of the machines.
Log in to the MAS with the other machine, using the same Apple ID you originally bought Lion with. Go to the Purchased Tab and Lion should be available for download. It should say Install.
It's possible that you will be asked for credit information as a form of verifying who you are.

USB on Intel Macs has always supported booting, that is what MacBook users have had to deal with. With a Mac Pro you have four internal drive bays, Firewire, and all of those are more suited and capable.

We are a small design studio how do we install lion on all machines

We are a small design studio with 8 imacs. How do we install Lion on all 8. Do we have to download the installer 8 times! at 4gb a download that is a lot of bandwidth. Or can one person sign in to the App store and download then distribute to all 8 machines?
Any advice greatly appreciated.

You might want to peruse the licensing agreement for Lion, available here:
http://www.apple.com/legal/sla/
I have absolutely no experience with commercial or volume licensing; but, as a business, you might want to pay special attention to para. 2B and C. The terms are not the same as they are for a single user.

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.

How do I install lion and format the hard drive?

How do I install lion and format the hard drive, as though this was a new mac.

If your Mac is a 2011 model and originally came with Lion Pre-Installed by Apple then you can use the Internet Recovery HD system to Wipe/Erase the Complete drive and Re-Install Lion.
If it is an older model, even and early 2011 model, that did NOT come with Lion Pre-Installed by Apple you can not sell or give it away with Lion installed on it. You have to install the original version of OS X on it.

How many computers can you install Lion after purchasing from App store. My wife and I have our own Apple ID will it accept 2 different ID

I have a MacBook Pro and an iMac . My wife has a MacBook and an iMac. How many computers are you allowed to install from one download. We both use Apple products and have our own Apple ID. Can I download Lion on her computers after I have both of mine installed? Or does she have to buy LION again using her Apple ID# ?

A single purchase of Lion will allow you to download it multiple times as long as you use your Apple ID.
If your wife wishes to install Lion, she must sign into the App Store with your Apple ID.

How to reinstall Mountain Lion after Mavericks OS has been installed without using the time machine?

Hi, I upgraded to Maverics a few weeks ago, and since than my computer has been very slow. It NEVER happened before. Now, I want to go back to Mountain Lion, but I didn't back up my computer with the time machine. I'd appreciate if anyone could tell me how to reinstall Mountain Lion again over Maverics? Thanks a lot for your help!

You will need either a bootable flash drive with Mountain Lion to install, if you have one, or reinstall Snow Leopard if your computer can boot Snow Leopard. Or you can use Internet Recovery to reinstall the original version of OS X that came with the computer. In any event you will have to repartition and reformat the drive.
Install Mavericks, Lion/Mountain Lion on a New HDD/SDD
Be sure you backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive because the following procedure will remove everything from the hard drive.
Boot to the Internet Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND-OPTION- R keys until a globe appears on the screen. Wait patiently - 15-20 minutes - until the Recovery main menu appears.
Partition and Format the hard drive:
1. Select Disk Utility from the main menu and click on the Continue button.
2. After DU loads select your external hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. 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. Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed. Quit DU and return to the main menu.
Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion. Mavericks: Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion, Mavericks and click on the Install button. Be sure to select the correct drive to use if you have more than one.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.

How to get Mountain Lion after disk is deleted

I've deleted my hard disc in DU after pressing cmd+R. Then I tried to reinstall my Lion, but it didn´t work. I then restarted the computer and the computer search the internet for a while ending up that I could only install Mountain Lion. The problem is that it does not allow me to install it as I haven´t purchased it. And I can´t go back to install Lion. I've tried to purchase Mountain Lion from another computer so my Apple ID would be identified as I've purchased it. I´ve also tried to update via Safari from start up but it says it could not access mac adresses. My question: How can I buy Mountain Lion outside the actual computer that needs the installation.

It would help to know what type and age of computer it is, what OS it had originally and why you erased it. Perhaps you had dallied with a beta of ML and now want to rationalise your system?
Lion and ML have different Recovery Partitions, so it is not possible to go from one to the other without doing a complete erase, of the recovery partitions as well, from an external disk.
If you managed to purchase ML from MAS on the other computer, you can download a copy of the full 10.8.3 installer (4.4Gb) from the "Purchases" tab. It will download to the Applications folder and then ask if you want to install it on that machine. Make a copy of the Application and put it somewhere else. It will delete if allowed to run.
I'm not sure if you can just link two computers together and use one to do an erase install on the other, but some one will know. Else, I would buy an external hard disk, link it to the other computer and install onto it. Copy the full installer across too.
Now do an erase install on your own computer. Afterward you can use this external disk as your backup, using Carbon Copy Cloner (CCC) to keep it up-to-date.

How do I install lion on a macbook pro that has a MBR instead of GUID.

Not sure how that happened. Maybe when I installed parallels and Windows XP, but Lion apparently requires a GUID partition. I've backed up and copied all important files to an external drive. If I reformat the drive for GUID how do I restore Leopard so I can then upgrade to Lion. I lost me original disks. Can I make a boot disk from the current OS?

As you know you must install OS X on a GUID partitioned, Mac OS Extended, Journaled drive. You do not need to reinstall Snow Leopard in order to install Lion if you have a copy of the Lion installer. If you don't have a copy of the installer then I suggest you re-download Lion but save the installer on your external drive. Here's how you do that:
Download Lion Again Without Installing Snow Leopard First
There's an easy method to force a download within the Mac App Store without any tinkering. It seems to be the official method, although I found no description of this in any of Apple's documentation.
So here's how to do it:
Open the Mac App Store.
Navigate to your Purchased page.
Hold down the Option key on your keyboard and click on your 'OS X Lion' purchase link (not on the 'installed' button).
You see the Lion product page. It should say 'Installed,' but that button is clickable. Hold down the Option key again and click on 'Installed.' If you don't hold the option key it will tell you there's already a newer version installed.
Enter your login credentials.
Download.
It's important to hold down the Option key twice. Once on the Purchased page, once on the Lion page. You also can't navigate to Lion directly, you need to open it from the purchases page. But if you follow this procedure you should find the Lion Installer within your Applications folder.
Now, make yourself a bootable DVD or USB flash drive for installing Lion:
Make Your Own Lion Installer
1. After downloading Lion you must first save the Install Mac OS X Lion application. After Lion downloads DO NOT click on the Install button. Go to your Applications folder and make a copy of the Lion installer. Move the copy into your Downloads folder. Now you can click on the Install button. You must do this because the installer deletes itself automatically when it finishes installing Lion.
2. Get a USB flash drive that is at least 8 GBs. Prep this flash drive as follows:
Open Disk Utility in your Utilities folder.
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.
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.
Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the drive entry) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, check the button for Zero Data and click on OK to return to the Erase window.
Click on the Erase button. The format process can take up to several hours depending upon the drive size.
3. Locate the saved Lion installer in your Downloads folder. CTRL- or RIGHT-click on the installer and select Show Package Contents from the contextual menu. Double-click on the Contents folder to open it. Double-click on the SharedSupport folder. In this folder you will see a disc image named InstallESD.dmg.
4. Plug in your freshly prepared USB flash drive. You are going to clone the InstallESD.dmg disc image to the flash drive as follows:
Open Disk Utility.
Select the USB flash drive from the left side list.
Click on the Restore tab in the DU main window.
Check the box labeled Erase destination.
Select the USB flash drive volume from the left side list and drag it to the Destination entry field.
Drag the InstallESD.dmg disc image file into the Source entry field.
Double-check you got it right, then click on the Restore button.
When the clone is completed you have a fully bootable Lion installer that you can use without having to re-download Lion.

How do I install Lion on a newly erased hard drive?

I used every trick on the internet including command R and bupkis. After 3 days I repaired the drive using my macpro as a Target and my iMac with Lion to do the repair. Nada. I have erased the drive completely and need to know how to install Lion. My Mac Pro is an intel based 2.56 GHz duo core. One of the older towers.
Thanks.

You can purchase Snow Leopard through the Apple Store: Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard - Apple Store (U.S.). The price is $19.99 plus tax. You will be sent physical media by mail after placing your order.
