How to go from Developer Preview to Official Lion OS X Release?

Hello,
Since its release, i've been playing with several Developer Previews of OS X Lion on my Macbook Pro. Then, Lion got out, in its official release. Unfortunately, I didn't have time to upgrade to it right at that time. I had a lot of work to do, and I've been using all this time a DP version. Now that I have some spare time, I want to upgrade to 10.7.2, and actually buy the Lion OS X from AppStore.
But surprisingly enough, AppStore says I allready have Lion on my Mac. Even when I open AppStore and holding down the Option key, I see the price of Lion, I clik on it, but it says a newer version seems to allready be present on my Mac. Wich is false, cause I sopped updating somewhere around 10.7.0, on a DP version.
Even if I modify the "SystemVersion.plist" file, I still can't buy the official Lion.
And as you might know, iCloud comes only with the 10.7.2 version of Lion. And I would realy like to take advantage of it as I've always been a MobileMe customer.
Does anyone have an idea of how to get that update and how to pay for Lion?
Thnak you in advance!

In addition to the other suggestions, you cannot download any version of Lion as long as you have any version installed (the background store agent scans not only your internal, but any externals that are attached and will not allow a download if it finds any trace of Lion). Since you chose not to heed the notices to update your versions for that many months (if you were/are on an actual pre-release version from Apple), there is only one solution: you must wipe your hard drive, reinstall Snow Leopard, and then go back to MAS and purchase Lion legally. And, to reiterate, you should not be asking these questions here.

  • How do you update to Yosemite final from developer preview GM 3?

    I am still on developer preview GM 3 I believe, cause I am not getting any update for 10.10.1 from the app store, and my About this Mac shows 10.90. I downloaded the final version in app store, but it's not letting me install it and it says "This copy of the “Install OS X” application is too old to be opened on this version of OS X."
    Any help would be appreciate it. I want to be on the latest yosemite update.
    Thanks.

    I found  solution. on developer preview, i had to run a program MATLAB so i followed a youtube tutorial and had to change serviceversion.plist. Thus it had a version 10.90 but it should be 10.10. I changed it back to 10.10 and its installing now. i totally forgot about this, and i thought 10.90 meant beta version!
    hope it maybe helps others who had to run MATLAB on yosemite beta..

  • Reverting from Developer Preview 3 to previous

    Hi
    Is there any way to revert a Mapping Workbench configuration to the current production version of Toplink (10.1.2) from the current Developer Preview 3 (10.1.3.0)? I am having some very odd behaviour when trying to delete objects using build 041116. My mapping configuration has been done using 10.1.3
    Thanks
    James Carlyle
    p.s. specifically, I have a private-owned 1:many mapping for Users and UserEvents, and I am removing the event from the user's event collection in order to delete it. If I get hold of the UserEvent session cache object by setting the user reference using the user cache object (and then registering the event with the uow obviously), the uow commit does not produce a delete SQL statement. But if I instantiate a new User object and set its userId, and then use that to get hold of the event object before registering it with the uow, the correct SQL is produced.

    Able to answer my own question - it is because the set() accessors that we were using to construct prototypes, in order to do query by example to get hold of the UOW clones, were changing the session cache objects.
    I came across this post about protecting the session cache objects (only allowing changes to the unit of work clones):
    Sever Session Cache, Read-Only
    I too would like to see a way of protecting developers like me from themselves - i.e. protecting programatically the session cache from corruption.

  • From developer preview to normal version

    I'm currently using Yosemite developer preview 8. I wanted to ask if the procedure to install the normal version, when it will be out, is the usual procedure via the app store? Should I just wait for an update to appear?

    Beta software can't be discussed in this forum. Ask in the Developer forum.

  • How to go from Developer to Trial Edition

    I installed a Developer Edition on a server and now want to
    test a site without IP restrictions to see if hosting the site is a
    viable solution or else going the shared webhost route. When we try
    to install the Trial Edition , the Developer Edition is installed.
    I tried uninstalling the Developer Edition and installing the
    Trial, but the Developer Edition is always the one installed. Seem
    like the installation leaves a trace behind and remembers the
    server and prevents the installation of the Trial on the same
    server.
    Any suggestion on how to get the Trial Edition installed on
    the same server a Developer Edition was once installed? I tried
    removing all references from the registry and still didn't
    work.

    The Trial Version is the Developer Version, after the trial
    period expires, so if you had already installed the
    Trial/Development version on this server, and and your time has
    expired, I suppose that you could attempt time travel....
    Product
    editions
    For evaluating ColdFusion 8 Enterprise, we offer a free 30-day
    trial. This is a fully functional server that includes all the
    features of ColdFusion 8 Enterprise. At the end of the 30-day
    trial, the Trial Edition automatically becomes the Developer
    Edition. At any time, full commercial deployment capabilities for
    an existing Trial or Developer Edition installation can be
    activated by simply inserting a valid serial number for ColdFusion
    8 Standard or ColdFusion 8 Enterprise without the need to
    reinstall.

    HI,
    Stephen Chin has posted on the OpenJFX mailing list a link to a document he made : http://steveonjava.wordpress.com/2008/12/07/migrating-from-the-javafx-preview-release/
    A good start. Thanks Steve.
    To the JavaFX team : don't forget in your future documents to tell us how to deal with features and properties that are no longer available.
    A short and incomplete list :
    - attribute "toggle" in TimeLine
    - Dialogs
    - window related attribute such as "alwaysOnTop"

    There is not much to do if you're using file transport
    IR you just export (from the menu) and import the same way in the target IR
    ID you just have to specify transport targets

  • I had the developer preview for IOS 6 on my phone, and just got a message telling me that my operating system is no longer active. How do I get my phone activated again?

    I had the developer preview for IOS 6 on my phone, and just got a message telling me that my operating system is no longer active. How do I get my phone activated again?
    I had the developer preview installed. Never had to update to the release version of the OS. Now, the preview has expired, and I cannot use my phone because my iTunes reads my OS as being current, but my iPhone cannot active. Any ideas on how to fix this issue?

    If I Google for Michael Superczynski, first match tells "Michael Superczynski's Profile : Apple Support Communities". It in fact does a lot of work there even if not paid.
    And yes we do not have disagreement about "official apple developers". Problem is that Apple screwed our devices because we are "official apple developers" and did effort to stop us getting proper help. I unbricked my ipad and iphone thanks to unofficial help. Thank you who wrote this unofficial help and "no thanks" for apple for ruining my access to my devices. My mistake was assuming that "update" button on my devices works. It did not because it always told "Your device has latest IOS6 installed" until it bricked yesterday.
    If Apple does not want to listen us, continue do delete post, blame us installing your software and yes we stop buying your devices and developing for them.

  • Windows 8.1 update Developer Preview from Microso...

    If i update Windows 8.1 update for Nokia Lumia 925 from  Developer whether it affects the warranty of the device.
    If any problems whether  nokia will support us. I have device having warranty for another 9 months.
    If i update it now whether we will get offical stable release once it is rolled out
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    The word from Microsoft is that it may void your warranty so there is no guarantee as to whether it will or won't, it is entirely at your own risk. Nokia says it will likely void your warranty but again that isn't confirmation that it will void the warranty. I have yet to see a case of warranty service being refused on a device running a developer preview.
    If you update now you will be updated to the official consumer release and the Nokia Cyan update, probably in June.

  • How do I erase mountain lion developer preview and go back to Lion 10.7? I do not have lion or data backed up on my Air

    How do I erase mountain lion developer preview and go back to Lion 10.7? I do not have lion or data backed up on my Air
    I need a step by step instructions since I have never done this before, willing to set up partition if needed.

    If you installed Lion from the Mac App Store or got it with the computer, restart with the Option key held down and see if its recovery partition still exists; if it does, tab to it, use the Disk Utility on it to erase the Mountain Lion partition or repartition the drive, and install Lion onto the blank partition. If you installed Lion from the USB thumb drive, use that.
