How to get Lion

Hallo!
I have a macbook Pro with Mac Os X 10.5.8. I want to install de nieuw Lion. My question is: wat is beter to buy the snow leopard en then the Lio via de APP or to buy the lion directly in the USB model?

You have to have Snow Leopard installed in order to download Lion whether from the App Store or the USB thumb drive.
Make sure your Mac meets Lion's requirements ...
Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7, or Xeon processor
2GB of memory
OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
7GB of available space

How to get Lion off my computer and go back to Snow Leopard???

How do I get rid of Lion and go back to Snow Leopard PERMANENTLY?
I am not techno.
I need simple instructions with plain descriptions. I do not have any discs. The iMac came with Snow Leopard and I loaded NOTHING.
I should never have bought Lion. It is awful.
Please someone tell me how to get Lion off my computer and go back to Snow Leopard.

Can I use time machine to restart the machine before the fateful day when I bought and installed Lion?
Yes, if you have a pre-Lion backup, but you need an installation disc.
Is there anything else I can do? more RAM?
I don't know how much RAM you have. It must be at least 2 GB, or Lion wouldn't have installed. If that's all you have, you might get better performance by adding more. But from your description, I doubt that your problem is due entirely, if at all, to a lack of RAM. If you want to troubleshoot the problem, it will take some patience and effort, and you'll need to be in a calm frame of mind.

How to get Lion on DVD

for the remote chance my machine will crash, be undable to download another version of the OS, how do I get Lion on DVD

You didn't say if you have a new machine that had Lion already installed. Apple will not be issuing a Lion DVD, but they do offer a Lion thumb drive available from the Apple store for $69.00. If you purchased and downloaded it from the Apple store, you can download it again at no charge (you also didn't tell us if you mean a defunct hard drive, or an inability to boot up). If you mean a hard drive problem, you will have to replace the drive and install SL 10.6.8 (I believe that you need that installed in order to install Lion) before doing anything else. Then, if you purchased from the Apple store, you can return there, go to the Lion page, option click on the "purchases" tag (it will turn blue) and it will bring you to the page that lists your purchases. Lion will be there, and you should be able to install it from there.
On the other hand, if you have Lion on your machine now, you can make a bootable DVD or flash drive from it. Rather than trying to explain the process here, I recommend that you go to: http://www.macworld.com where you will find articles on how to make the bootable DVD or flash drive.
I hope this helps.

IBook Author for 10.6 or how I get Lion 10.7

I've been trying to download iBooks Author from the app store but when I click on `install app`, it says i need Lion 10.7 to finally get it install.
so, how can get this version ? or what i have to do ?
(i have updated 2 times already!)

If the latest version of that app needs 10.7 or greater you need to first install 10.7 whcih you can get from the appstore.

Boot Using OPTION key:

Immediately after the chime press and hold down the "OPTION" key.
Release the key when the boot manager appears.

How to get Lion to recognize my SSD?

I have a new iMac with both a 250GB solid-state disk and a 2TB hard disk. When I tried to replicate my Powerbook on the iMac, Migration Assistant just looked at the SSD and said there wasn't enough room, not realizing there was a 2TB disk as well. So I migrated my applications and settings to the SSD and then did a straight copy (using the Powerbook as a target disk for the iMac) of my Documents folder. But now I'm having problems (such as an empty desktop, which is the subject of my other post this morning). I now think I know why: Lion says my startup disk is the 2TB hard disk. When I go to Startup Disk system settings, Lion doesn't recognize the existence of the SSD. So two questions:
1. How do I tell Lion there's an SSD?
2. Failing that, is there any to tell Migration assistant to use the 2TB hard disk for everything, not the SSD (because, sigh, Migration Assistant doesn't recognize the existence of the 2TB hard disk)?

If I were you, I would open a service request with Apple regarding this problem. You are permitted 90 days of free tech support for new Macs, if I recall correctly, so why not use it?

How to get Lion 10.7 on a new Mac Pro 6,1 (Early 2013)?

Hi everyone,
I'm considering an upgrade to the new Mac Pro (6,1 -- Late 2013, i.e. trash can Mac). It's a huge expense and pivot in terms of hardware and workflow for me. But one thing I'm trying to exclude from the equation is having to upgrade my OS. I have a lot of third party software that I'm afraid will bug out on 10.9 (or 10.10 depending on when I purchase this). I've been humming on Lion 10.7.5 for some time and would like to keep it that way.
I had the thought of running my Boot Disk to a Bootable backup drive via something like Carbon Copy Cloner. Then, upon purchase of the new system, boot from that external drive, re-partition the internal SSD on the Mac Pro, and run that boot disk back over to the SSD. Any reason why this would not work in any one's opinion? Has anyone actually tried this yet?
Thanks all!
-JD

Actually just had a thought. Prior to purchasing a new Mac Pro, what if I backed up my Lion 10.7.5 boot, then upgraded my current boot to Mavericks. Then upon purchasing the new Mac Pro with Mavericks already on it I could just do what I previously mentioned --- run the boot over to the SSD. Then I don't have to re-install any software.
Thoughts?
You won't be able to boot Lion on a new Mac Pro.
If you migrate your info from the old computer, it will not take the OS stuff.

I rebooted my old MacBook. How do I get Lion back on there? I purchased it from the Apple Store Application

Just was wondering how to get Lion back on the computer, now that I've done a dull re-boot. Any help on this would be great!

Rebooting does not normally revert to a different version of the OS.
So what version is currently running?
And did you purchase Lion at the app store? If so, sign in and it should show up under Purchases and you can download and install it again.

I was using OS Snow Leopard and on 8/1/13 I downloaded Mountain Lion and found out it was not compatible with my HP printer (HP photosmart C5580) so I called Apple and asked how to get Mountain Lion off and Snow Leopard back on. The Tech told me to

I was using OS Snow Leopard and on 8/1/13 I downloaded Mountain Lion. Then I found out it was not compatible with my HP Printer (HP Photosmart C5580 all-in-one) so I called Apple support and the tech told me to erase the hard drive instead of going in the time machine. Well I did that and then it took about three hours three days a week for about three weeks on the phone with an apple tech to get all my stuff back on my computer. I have had trouble with my printer (won't do the scan anymore and wasn't printing on my DVDs. Also the computer keeps freezing up when it is in the sleep mode, etc.
When I tried to list my problem on this forum it lists your OS at the bottom and mine had Mountain Lion listed as what I was using so apparently it didn't erase it. Want to know how to get Mountain Lion off and put my Snow Leopard on so things start working right.

Go to the  menu/About This Mac - what OS version shows there?
Do a backup, preferably 2 separate ones on 2 separate drives.
Revert to a Previous OS X
Revert to Snow Leopard
If you do revert, I'd use Setup Assistant to restore your data. This process takes a while, so do it when you won't need the computer for several hours, based on my experience.

Has anyone figured out how to get speech recognition working with sticky keys enabled on mountain lion?

I'm trying to use speech recognition to input text on my iMac running the latest mountain lion, 10.8.3.
I have sticky keys enabled.
When I try to start speaking by pressing the function key twice nothing happens. I can only get it to work if I disable sticky keys.
The same problem occurs with all the other modifier keys as shortcut, they do not work with sticky keys.
When I try to select a different shortcut, I am unable to select a two key combination, but am limited to one.
If I select the F6 key, or any other single key, I am able to start speech recognition. However the second time that I press the key, it does not stop recognition and process my words. Instead, it restarts the recognition.
Has anyone figured out how to get speech recognition working with sticky keys enabled?
Or a way to get an individual key shortcut to start on the first press and process it on the second?
Or a way to get key combinations to work, as specified by the help:
Dictation On and Off
To use Dictation, click On.
When you’re ready to dictate text, place the insertion point where you want the dictated text to appear and press the Fn (function) key twice. When you see the lighted microphone icon and hear a beep, the microphone is ready for you to speak your text.
Shortcut
By default, you press the Fn (Function) key twice to start dictation. If you like, you can choose a different shortcut from the menu.
To create a shortcut that’s not in the list, choose Customize, and then press the keys you want to use. You can press two or more keys to create your shortcut.

I noticed with version 10.8.4 of OS X that I am now able to select F6 to activate, and the return key to complete the speech recognition. This is still different than the description of how these should function that's included in the help, but at least it's an improvement.

I have a new iMac running iTunes 10.4 in OS 10.6.8, and a new Mac Air running iTunes 10.4 in Lion. I was able to transfer all my music etc. from the iMac onto the Air, but cannot figure out how to get the Playlists from the iMac to the Air. iTunes Help

I have a new iMac running iTunes 10.4 in OS 10.6.8, and a new Mac Air running iTunes 10.4 in Lion. I was able to transfer all my music etc. from the iMac onto the Air, but cannot figure out how to get the Playlists from the iMac to the Air. iTunes Help says File >Library >Export playlist and choose XML, or to save a copy of all your playlists, File > Library > Export Library, "the Exported info is saved in XML format." Then it says, "to import an iTunes playlist, File > Library > Import Playlist". Now I am assuming I do that import part on the Air, but when I try it doesn't recognize anything that can be imported - what am I missing??? Aside from a clue...

Thanks, Jim, for taking the time, but the reply is unfortunately vague in the exact area of my confusion! "you need to copy that file to your new computer..." Well, the Import/Export instructions make it seem as if the two computers should be able to communicate this file thru wifi, but that's the linkage I can't seem tocreate with Import/Export. Should I instead email a copy to myself (thats what applecare suggested)? Copy it to and from a thumb drive? But then place the file where? And the article was helpful, but should I be trying to move the Library file or the Library.xml file (as iTunes Help suggests)? Sorry to be so clueless about it...I suppose I buy Apple in the hopes of not having to think about this stuff, which approach seems not to be serving me well. Thanks again for your time!
