How to install clean copy

Hello
I have upgread my Macbook pro with Lion and I would like remove the OS and install new copy.
How to get a copy of lion to install it at my Macbook pro without installing the old OS and upgraed?
thank you

Boot into the Lion Recovery partition and install from there. There is also Disk Utility to erase the drive.
Why do you wish to waste a lot of time erasing the disk and reinstalling? Is there something wrong with the installation?

Hi Guys,
I have the solution to your problems and I will go ahead an explain it in detail so that no questions will be raised.
I have struggled to get WINDOWS 7 (32BIT) to run on the Touchsmart 300 PC now for three days (and nights) but I know how you can do it.
The problem lies within the VGA Adapter (Graphics Card) this little buddy has incompatible drivers with the inbuilt functions of the Touchsmart PC in its generic (Windows Preloaded) form. Therefore what you can do is the this.
Step 1: Insert Windows 7 (32Bit) disk and start the setup process and follow it until it hits the problem. (Millisecond of Bluescreen)
Step 2: Once the PC starts booting repeatedly press F8 (I mean it just keep on pressing that button until you can select "Safe Mode")
Step3: Once Windows Setup screen is back it will tell you an error! Which is good. INSTEAD of pressing "OK" (to restart) press SHIFT + F10 (opens the command prompt)
Step4: You should automatically be in \Windows\System32 now enter the following command: CompMgmtLauncher (This is the Device Manager).
(If the default directory is not System32 the navigate to it by entering "cd windows" and "cd system 32" (cd = change directory)
Step5: In the Device Manager (do not worry it will take some time to load) select navigate to "Display Adapters" - "ATI Radeon ..." RIGHT-CLICK on it and choose disable. (To be sure Windows will not have any other troubles you should do the same for all highlighted devices. the once with the yellow triangle)
Step6: Once this is done restart your system and let the install run into the normal mode and finish the install.
Step7: Once Windows starts for the first time. Use the provided ATI Radeon Driver from HP (NOT the original one) from the support download website to install the correct driver.
Step8: Resart and enjoy!
Hope this helps and let me say to AMD/ATI yopu guys really suck at your one product drivers!
Cheers and Out.

How to install second copy (different serial #) on desktop

I have aperture 2 with same serial number installed on both my laptop and desktop on our network. Only one copy can be worked on at the same time so I bought a new copy so my husband and I can work on images at the same time. How do I install a new copy with a different serial number on the desktop and have the images on the old copy transferred onto the new copy? Will the new copy delete the old or will I now have 2 apertures on the desktop? I don't want to lose any of the images and only want the new copy with a different serial number on the desktop.
thanks

You've got a couple options and I ran into a similar issue when installing and running a demo for Aperture 2 while not wanting to replacing my purchased copy of 1.5 until I purchase version 2.
Firstly, why don't you just install one version to each computer? You can have multiple Aperture Libraries on a single computer if you really want to keep your photos completely separate from your husbands but then you can just have separate project folders within the same libraries. You can add metadata to your images when you import them so attaching your name to the images at that time will maintain who shot what. This way makes updating the software much easier and hassle free. Which is not the case when running two copies of the same program on the same hardware.
Another option if you must install more than one copy of Aperture to each computer is to rename the currently installed version of Aperture and then install the new one. This gives you two copies of the same program but you'll run into problems when the next update is released. The renamed version will not be recognized by Software Update because it'll be looking for the version simply called, "Aperture" in the applications library. There is a fairly simple workaround for this though.
Instead of renaming the original install, move it into a new location or subfolder in the Applications folder. Then install the new copy and when an update is released it will be taken care of for the copy installed directly in the Applications folder. Once that update is complete, switch the two so that the other copy is now in the Applications folder and the updated one is in the sub-folder. Run Software Update again and it should run the update to the other copy without a problem.
I would recommend installing just one copy to each computer with the separate serials and just setup your own libraries onto each computer. Through a network you can share libraries between the two systems and you wont run into any problems with running the software or updating it.
I hope this helps you out with your problem.

Installing clean copy of Windows 7 without out-of-box state software?

I have the Toshiba Satellite A505-S6025 model and was wanting to do a clean install of Windows 7 on it. Without using the system recovery option and having it formated too out-of-box state. I was just wondering if it would effect the computer in any way? Because I know their are lots of system programs that come a long with it for key features. What do you think?

Perhaps I can add some usefull information here. Most, if not all, computer manufacturers no longer provide recovery disks. Some provide these at a small cost. They do provide intruction how to make these disks. There is a great amount of free information available on the internet how to do this. The hard drive on new machines usually has 2 partitions, 1 is the recovery partition (dive), the other is the system partition (generally drive "C"). These partitions also contain the product bloatwhere specific to there products. Most users find these utilities very useful. If you format the drive and install a fresh operating system (lets say Windows 7) you generally will only have 1 partition (drive "C") without the product utilities. The machine will work just fine. Keep in mind, you will have to download and install new drivers and operating system updates and perhaps will need to make some system changes, such as screen resolution. I DO NOT SUGGEST THIS FOR MOST USERS. Most users are starting to understand the need to backup their DATA, very few backup the system. Anyone that buys a new machine should first make the system recovery disks, then do all the system and driver updates and back up once again. I suggest purchasing a USB hard drive and a product such as CMS Bounceback. Backup the entire system, perhaps weekly or monthly depending on your useage. In the event of a hard drive failure, you can swop the drive and be back in business in less than 1 hour. You can also backup from the spare hard drive.

Install clean copy Lion

Hello,
1- I want format and re-instal the Lion in my MacbookPro. I bought my mac with Lion included but it didn't come with any cd... I just need internet connection and it will download it and install?
2 - How I can schedule to run a bash script daily at X hour? (I thave tried iCal but it only runs OSx Scripts =S )

if you would like to earse and install.
Boot to the recovery drive holding option on the keyborad when turning the comptuer one
Go into disk utility
Select the Mac HD
Click Earse
Format > Mac os x extended journaled
Name : Macantosh Hd
Click earse > going to delete everything
> once progress bar is gone
> close window
> go to lion reinstall
DO NOT EARSE THE ENTIRE HD BECAUSE YOU WILL LOOSE THE LION RECOVERY AND WILL NOT BE ABEL TO REINSTALL... unless you have a model that now includes the network reinstall of lion
ie : dont click on the one that says 500.11 gb > yours might be smaller or bigger but this is just an example

How to install fresh copy of os x without DVD or CD

I want to install OS x on Macbook pro laptop, I have erase all data through dist utility and when i reinstall os x it will give me message like "You must sign in with an Apple ID that was used to purchase "OS X Maverick"

Is that the case, if the Mac came with an older version of OS X and has been updated (including the Recovery Partition) to Mavericks?
Yes, so it's often the case with a used Mac unless the previous owner prepared it for sale correctly.
If IR (Internet Recovery) is used instead no ID will be needed, but the version of OSX that will be installed is the one that the machine shipped with.

How to install purchasedt copy of Lightroom on laptop without DVD drive?

I bought a copy of Lightroom 5 from Amazon and loaded onto my desktop where it works very well. However, when I downloaded the trial version onto my laptop, and I tried to license it with the serial number from the disc I just purchased from Amazon, it said serial number is invalid. Hard to believe I would not be able to use my purchase on the various platforms that I use regularly.

Perhaps you downloaded the CC version rather than the perpetual license version.
Try downloading from here (PC): Adobe - Lightroom : For Windows
or here, if you have a Mac: Adobe - Lightroom : For Macintosh

Download again, move the existing file out of the applications folder first.

How do i clean up my macbook air to install software updates?

how do i clean up my macbook air to install software updates? It says that I need to clean up the startup disk because I do not have enough space left but I don't know how to do that. Can anyone help me?

First, empty the Trash if you haven't already done so. Then reboot. That will temporarily free up some space.
According to Apple documentation, you need at least 9 GB of available space on the startup volume (as shown in the Finder Info window) for normal operation. You also need enough space left over to allow for growth of your data. There is little or no performance advantage to having more available space than the minimum Apple recommends. Available storage space that you'll never use is wasted space.
If you're using Time Machine to back up a portable Mac, some of the available space will be used to make local snapshots, which are backup copies of files you've recently deleted. The space occupied by local snapshots is reported as available by the Finder, and should be considered as such. In the Storage display of System Information, local snapshots are shown as "Backups." The snapshots are automatically deleted when they expire or when free space falls below a certain level. You ordinarily don't need to, and should not, delete local snapshots yourself.
To locate large files, you can use Spotlight as described here. That method may not find large folders that contain a lot of small files.
You can also use a tool such as OmniDiskSweeper (ODS) to explore your volume and find out what's taking up the space. You can delete files with it, but don't do that unless you're sure that you know what you're deleting and that all data is safely backed up. That means you have multiple backups, not just one.
Proceed further only if the problem hasn't been solved.
ODS can't see the whole filesystem when you run it just by double-clicking; it only sees files that you have permission to read. To see everything, you have to run it as root.
Back up all data now.
Install ODS in the Applications folder as usual. Quit it if it's running.
Triple-click the line of text below to select it, then copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C):sudo /Applications/OmniDiskSweeper.app/Contents/MacOS/OmniDiskSweeper
Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Paste into the Terminal window (command-V). You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning not to screw up. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
The application window will open, eventually showing all files in all folders. It may take some minutes for ODS to list all the files.
I don't recommend that you make a habit of doing this. Don't delete anything while running ODS as root. If something needs to be deleted, make sure you know what it is and how it got there, and then delete it by other, safer, means.
When you're done with ODS, quit it and also quit Terminal.

Thinkpad S440: installing a clean copy of windows 7 professional

Hi there,
I wanted to install a clean copy of windows 7 professional on my thinkpad s440. With the initial install, I've had peculiar issues with some devices and the Lenovo software. The power manager caused a massive slowdown on resuming from sleep if I had memory-intensive applications open, which was completely resolved when I uninstalled it. There's been other issues with WiFi stability, webcam use and mousepad behaviour among others.
I have a couple of questions before going ahead with this. Firstly, the laptop has no visible signs of any COA or windows 7 product key. As the laptop only comes with the recovery partition and no disks, how do I know the windows 7 installation will activate successfully or that I won't need a CD key during the install?
If I use the digitalriver file to create USB bootable install media, is there a md5 checksum or something else I can do to ensure what I download is not corrupted or altered in any way? It's not easy using the internet without connection errors happening over a few hours especially with what I have to use in China!!
Any help appreciated!

My question is basically how to reinstall windows 7 without the Lenovo bloatware, especially if I don't have any Windows 7 CD key available.
I have searched for this before and anything I read assumes I have a CD drive, or a CD key for windows 7 professional or that I had windows 8 pro and used downgrade rights. None of those scenarios apply to me.
Can anyone out there help with this? Thanks in advance!
