How to Customize Desktop Names in OSX Lion?

I upgraded my os from Leopoard to Lion couple days before,
This new system is generally amazing, however, the desktop names is sometime complicated and confusing,
especially when I'm managing too many windows and tasks at the sametime
all of them are shown as desktop 1, 2, 3, 4.......and so on.
Obviously , this EYECANDY upgrade weaken its usability,
before, at least, when it's still leopoard,
i need only one combo stroke(control + <-- or --> )to change my desktop in spaces mode,
spaces is not intuitive but can be functionally remembered in mind.
now, i have to press F3 and then select from such messing screenshots without a clear name?
well, if there do have some ways to customize them,
i could rethink about it.

Ideally, you should clone your HD as Bimmer 7 Series explains.
However, if your computer originally shipped with Lion or Mountain Lion, a clone is not necessary to merely reinstall OS X. OS X Internet Recovery will create a recovery partition, download the installer package, and install it on a completely empty SSD or HD.
Even if your computer shipped with Snow Leopard, it may be eligible to download a firmware update that creates the same ability: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4904

Click here, buy a Mac OS X 10.6 DVD, install it, and run the Mac OS X 10.6.8 combo updater. You can then either buy Mountain Lion 10.8 from the Mac App Store or phone the online Apple Store and order a download code for Lion 10.7.

How to change computer name in mountain lion

how to change the computer name in mountain lion - the name is greyed out and the lock is unlocked. I am in the admin account.

OK, check this one:
/Library/Preferences/System/Configuration/preferences.plist
and see if it's locked. If not, try moving that file out to the desktop. You'll need to reset a number of preferences, but that seems to be where OS X 10.8 is keeping that setting now.
Regards.

How best to restore Macbook Air (OSX Lion) from backup?

So, I started up my Macbook Air yesterday and it wouldn't boot. Command-V at boot revealed that the filesystem is currupt; in particular, it hung up on a specific file (/private/var/db/dslocal/nodes/Default/sqlindex-shm). The problem cannot be fixed by Disk Utility. The harddrive is encrypted with Filevault2.
Luckily, I have a backup (using CCC), but it is a day old (and that day had some important work and apps installed that I'd prefer not to reinstall). I installed Lion on a USB stick, booted up, and used CCC to clone the whole hard disk to an external USB drive. I could mount, but not write to, the corrupted drive. As expected, it had problems copying the particular corrupted file. So, I copied my day-old backup of the offending file to the external USB drive, and now I can boot my system off that. Yay!
But it wasn't without a hitch. Several apps seem to think that they hadn't been run before (like dropbox and textwrangler). I assume that this might be caused by the Volume name change? Everything SEEMS fairly normal, though. So, at this point, I wonder how to proceed. Here are my options, as I see them:
1. Reformat the corrupt hard disk, and copy all files off the USB external HD to the newly formatted internal drive, and hope that there are no other issues with corrupt files that I didn't know about. If I do this, how do I format the internal drive so that the OS will know to boot off it? Should I encrypt it, or leave it unencrypted and then enable filevault2 again after booting off it successfully? How can I check that everything is OK once I successfully boot of the reconstituted internal drive?
2. Install OSX Lion clean. I'd rather not do this, due to the problem of reinstalling apps, redoing cron jobs, etc. But at least this way I minimize the chances that other OS files are corrupt. If I choose this option, how can I minimize the pain of reinstalling apps? What about apps like MacTex and ParagonNTFS, that have files in places other than the Applications folder? Can I just copy those over, too?
So, which of these routes should I take? Or is there a third route that would be even better? Since I have full backups, it seems like I'm pretty flexible.
*(I should mention that for speed of backup, I excluded large, relatively expendable files, like VM hard disk files that I can remake, from my regular backups. So restoring from the day-old backup would be some trouble, on top of just restoring the old work.)

Thanks much, that seems to have worked!
(Now just have to figure out why the Time Machine backup didn't contain quite everything we expected; but I can always pop the old hard drive and get the last few things from there is necessary.)

Just purchased a iMac a few hours ago, how do I install the free OSX Lion from the UK?

I'm just starting to get used to my new Mac I just purchased, these things are brilliant! I was told by the seller that since I have a new system I'm allowed to download OSX Lion for free, how would I go about that if I'm from the UK? I can only seem to find the US Link.
Please note, that the UK Link is different to the USA link,
Cheers,
Will.

How can i run windows on osx lion

Hi, some programs don't run anymore on osx lion. So I would like to install windows. How do I need to proceed?
Thanks, Franklin

... don't run anymore
Upgrade when possible.
Downgrade back.
Dual boot 10.6 or even 10.5 (as old as your Mac came with) and Lion -
You can even have a Mac HFS data partition.
Instead of dual booting Windows.
Depends on what. You didn't mention. Or whether they are Windows alternatives that have to run natively. Or could be run in a VM guest OS - but have to share RAM and processor resource, which may not be feasible or run well enough.
Apps incompatible with OS X Lion
keep Snow Leopard when upgrading to Lion

How can I copy the purchased OSX Lion to my MacPro?

According to the license conditions I am entitled to copy my purchased version OSX Lion from my iMac to my MacPro. Can anybody please let me know how? Thanks in advance, Theo.

As has been previously mentioned. on a new machine -i.e. lion not installed - just go to the MAS and use the same Apple id and you should be able to download it.
On a Machine with Lion installed.
Open the App Store.
Hold Down the option key and while it's held down select Purchase.
Now Install Mac OS X LIon should show "Install" instead of "Installed" this will allow you to download a new copy of the installer.
You can then save it and make a DVD etc
and/or
Copy it to another machine to install it there.

How do I turn off autosave osx lion

How do I turn off autosave on osx lion? Just got new MacBook pro & autosave crashes Photoshop adobe when I'm doing large format design! This is a designers worst nightmare having autosave. Because you can do some work, then change your mind , but it's too late, autosave has saved over your work! Great for small files like text, but design large files? If you can't turn off autosave then apple can kiss goodbye to all it's design clients which is alot of there buyers I would imagine. Can you turn it off please help?

I have no way of knowing what Apple will do in the future. You can certainly report you wishes at
Apple Feedback.
As for "oversight," I'd say it was yours, not Apple's. Should have done a little more research before you purchased. This "issue" is nothing new.

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....

How to authorize other Macs for OSX Lion?

Hello,
My sister bought a refurbished MacBook Pro that came with the former OSX release 10.6 Snow Leopard. I know that I can authorize her Mac to allow the download and installation of OSX Lion. The problem is that she already created a different Apple ID for her, however she does want Lion on her Mac. Is it possible to authorize a Mac that uses a different Apple ID from mine?
Thanks!
