How to download Lion from Mountain Lion

As I see I have a specific problem. On my old MacBook White (4.1) I have installed Leopard. On MacBook Air I have Mountain Lion, and on iMac I had Snow Leopard and then bought Lion, and I recently upgraded it to Mountain Lion. So… my problem is that I can’t download and install Lion on my MacBook White. It is too old for Mountain Lion and since I have Mountain Lion on iMac and MacBook Air App Store don’t want to download Lion. I have Download button but can’t download it. Since I already paid for this product I don’t see any reason why I couldn’t download it again.

In your iMac:
1. Do a Time Machine backup
2. Open Terminal and write:
cd /
sudo nano /System/Library/CoreServices/SystemVersion.plist
3. Open Finder, select Go > Go to Folder, write /System/Library/CoreServices and copy SystemVersion.plist to another folder
4. Go to Terminal. You will see the file, and you have to change the text with the bold words:
?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs$
<plist version="1.0">
<dict>
        <key>ProductBuildVersion</key>
        <string>11E53</string>
        <key>ProductCopyright</key>
        <string>1983-2012 Apple Inc.</string>
        <key>ProductName</key>
        <string>Mac OS X</string>
        <key>ProductUserVisibleVersion</key>
        <string>10.7.4</string>
        <key>ProductVersion</key>
        <string>10.7.4</string>
</dict>
</plist>
5. Press Control and X keys and save that file
6. Open App Store > Purchases and download Lion
7. Open Finder, select Go > Go to Folder, write /System/Library/CoreServices and move the SystemVersion.plist that you copied to this folder
8. http://blog.gete.net/ldm/Lion_DiskMaker2.0.1.zip
It's very dangerous and only do it at your risk. I don't recommend this

    how to uninstall programs from Mountain Lion?

    Hi,
    Theres a couple ways to uninstall programs. The launchpad is the rocket icon on the dock. If you open that you should see your apps spread out as icons as if it would be on a iphone or other iOS device. If you just click the icon with your mouse button and continue holding the mouse button the will shake and show the X. If you click that X it will ask if you want to delete the program. This only works for programs downloaded through the APP Store. If a program does not have an X then proceed to the next way of uninstalling
    -- The way to delete a program that will not delete the previous way is as followed:
    Open finder
    - On the left side you will see applications > Click that
    - Then you will see all the programs on the right side.
    - If you click on the program and drag it to your trash bin it will ask if you would like to make changes and delete.
    - Just make sure not to delete anything that was preinstalled with you Mac

    Use the trackpad to scroll, thats what it was designed for. The scroll bars automatically disappear when not being used and will appear if you scroll up or down using the trackpad.
    This is a user-to-user forum and most people will post on here if they have problems. You very rarely get people posting to say there update went smooth. The fact is the vast majority of Mountain Lion users will not be experiencing any major problems with the OS, or maybe with apps which are not compatible, but thats hardly Apple's fault if developers don't update their apps.

    Are you using Mountain Lion? And are you using Safari?
    There used to be this thing called the Activity Window in Safari that would make it easy to show the files (like audio files) in a web page. That doesn't exist any more but in the Develop Menu there is Show Page Resources that can do the same thing.

    How to download data from an external hd ?

    You need to copy the data onto your computer and transfer it via that (either via iTunes, or if the app that you want to transfer the data to supports, via wifi). Like the previous reply said, you can't do it directly without a computer being involved.

    How to download pics from Verizon cell phone to ipad2?

    Is it an iPhone ? If it is and you don't want to go via your computer and iTunes, then the camera connection kit can connect the iPhone to the iPad and can copy photos to the iPad. Also there are photo transfer apps such as Simple Transfer which can copy photos between iOS devices via your wifi network.
    If it's not an iPhone then you probably need to go via your computer and sync them via iTunes, or if there aren't that many photos and your phone supports it you can email them to yourself

  • How to download recordings from HD LCD TV to iMac G5?

    anyone know how to download recordings from a HD on a LG LCD TV to an apple computer? thx.
    iMac G5   Mac OS X (10.4.9)  

    Based on the specs, the only OUTPUTS on your TV are a composite video out+analog stereo out and a TOSLINK digital audio out.
    In order to connect it to your Mac to capture video from the TV, you will need one of the following -
    1 - an analog-digital converter like the Canopus ADVC-110 or
    2 - a miniDV camcorder that supports analog-digital passthrough (most do)
    In both cases you would connect the composite video/analog stereo outputs from your TV to the converter or camcorder; and then connect the converter or camcorder to your Mac via Firewire.

    To add to the above, since you're running Windows your choices are Outlook if you have it on your computer (the full version, not Outlook Express), or the MobileMe service. You would load contacts into one of those two places, and then sync them to the iPhone via the settings in iTunes.
    Well sort of Outlook Express. Outlook Express uses the windows built in Windows Address Book (found in Accessories). And you can sync with the Windows Address Book (as I do).

  • Hi all - any idea how to download songs from an old AOL iTunes account - have updated to Apple ID which is fine for new songs but didn't realise this wouldn't include the old songs.  Have a 1st gen ipod with the original purchases on if that helps

    Hi all - any idea how to download songs from an old AOL iTunes account - have updated to Apple ID which is fine for new songs but didn't realise this wouldn't include the old songs.  Have a 1st gen ipod with the original purchases on if that helps

    ....... is there a way for me to get my old music library (which was controlled by my dad's apple ID) onto my new mac, but from that point on, start using my own apple ID for purchases?........
    Yes, once the content is in iTunes on your computer, just click it to play and authorise your computer to play it by entering your Dad's ID and password.
    Log into your own account and start purchasing your own content which will then be added to the existing content.

    pls help me how to download photoes from icloud to pc

    Hi Asanyasir,
    If you are trying to download your pictures from Photo Stream, you may want to look at this article -
    iCloud: Shared Photo Streams FAQ
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5903
    In particular this section -
    Can photos be saved or downloaded from a shared photo stream?
    Yes. After photos are shared, anyone who can view the shared stream can download and keep them permanently.
    On a compatible iOS device, you can save photos to the Camera Roll. On a Mac, using iPhoto 9.4 or Aperture 3.4 or later, you can save photos from the shared stream to your local Photo Library or any other location on your Mac. On a Windows PC, you can copy photos from a shared photo stream to any folder. On the web, photos can be downloaded directly to your computer from the detail view of each photo.
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    Best,
    Brett L
