How to re-download Lion from AppStore

Hi,
I just clicked download Lion from AppStore, however, due to internet connection, it didn't finish with downloading the correct size and aborted. When I tried to install, it says download file is damaged. How can I re-download it ??
Thanks,

Hi, Thanks for the clarification.
I also intended to burn OSX "Lion" to DVD, however like many others found that the install package had vanished after installing "Lion".
I managed to re-download "Lion" after installing by opening the "App Store", then holding down "Option" key and clicking on purchased items (Keep holding down "Option" key). From purchached apps, "Lion" had now changed from "Installed" to "Install". While still holding down the "Option" key, I clicked "Install" and Lion is now downloading as we speak.
Again, thanks for the clarification. I had seen that you could download "Lion" again from the App store on other forums, however the process wasn't explianed very well and I couldn't quite get it to work.
I hope this helps others who are stuck.

How can i download lion from 10.6.8 because I can not find the download on the app store?

The only way you could get Lion for free was if you had purchased a new Mac within a certain number of days before Lion's release. Buyers could then get a free upgrade to Lion. That offer is long gone. Otherwise, it's never been free.
Mavericks, 10.9.x is the first OS Apple has ever released for free to everyone (who's Mac can run it).

If you only want the free apps, take a look here:

Read the steps carefully as the order in which you follow them is critical. Note that you can do this only when creating a new Apple ID. You cannot use an existing ID.
You will of course not be able to get anything other than the free content without entering in some sort of payment method (credit card, prepaid iTunes card, gift certificate, etc.)

How can I download lion from Mac app store in recovery mode on an imac?

I bought a mid-2007 imac from a friend, who the computer was working perfectly for. When I went to start up it wouldn't start up (past the gray screen) from the regular HD no matter how many tricks I tried (resetting SMC, PRAM, etc), so I went in to recovery mode. I verified and repaired the disc more than once (even though it said it was fine), and tried to reinstall lion from the online recovery function but it said "item temporarily unavailable." I basically tried every combo of things possible before erasing the HD but nothing worked, so then I decided to erase the HD.
SO that happened, and now I can still boot up in recovery mode and it -seems- like if I can find a way to reinstall lion (which was the last os running), I may be back in business.
however, see the problem with "item temporarily unavailable."
I decided to purchase it from the Mac store online on a different device and it says it will email me a link in 1-3 business days (really??! That long to save me with an EMAIL LINK???), and my thought is that maybe I can log in to my email from the safari window and download it that way. I'm just afraid that I won't be able to access the Mac app store if that is where it downloads from.
Ultimately, I'm trying to avoid a trip to the Apple Store because this thing will be a nightmare to lug on public transportation. My questions for you are as follows:
- how likely do you think it is that I'll be able to successfully download lion from the email link in recovery mode?
- Do actual discs with lion exist anywhere in the wide world? If so, how can I get one?
- would it be worth it to grab an old lion usb stick from amazon?
- is there ANY other way to reinstall lion or install a new os on this thing without physically taking the computer anywhere?

What a silly company , i have the same exact problem with my macbook pro and i've checked every topic that mention this problem and they didn't solve it .

How do I download LION and do a clean install on a new disk?

I have a brand new HD which has not yet been formatted. I would like to download Lion and instead of updating my Snow Leopard OS disk I would like to do a clean install on this new drive.
Do I first do a journaled format on the new drive...? And if so how do I download LION from the APP store and pointn the install at the new target drive?

How to Install Lion Successfully
A. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions:
Boot from your current Snow Leopard Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. Then select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer. Now restart normally.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior (4.0 for Tiger) and/or TechTool Pro (4.5.2 for Tiger) to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
B. Make a Bootable Backup Using Restore Option of Disk Utility:
Open Disk Utility from the Utilities folder.
Select the destination volume from the left side list.
Click on the Restore tab in the DU main window.
Check the box labeled Erase destination.
Select the destination volume from the left side list and drag it to the Destination entry field.
Select the source volume from the left side list and drag it to the Source entry field.
Double-check you got it right, then click on the Restore button.
Destination means the external backup drive. Source means the internal startup drive.
C. Important - Please read before installing:
If you have a FireWire hard drive connected, disconnect it before installing the update unless you will boot from this drive and install the update on it. Reconnect it and turn it back on after installation is complete and you've restarted.
You may experience unexpected results if you have installed third-party system software modifications, or if you have modified the operating system through other means. (This does not apply to normal application software installation.)
The installation process should not be interrupted. If a power outage or other interruption occurs during installation, use the standalone installer (see below) from Apple Downloads to update. While the installation is in progress do not use the computer.
D. To upgrade:
Purchase and Download Lion from the App Store.
E. If you want to make a bootable USB flash drive:
Make Your Own Lion Installer
1. After downloading Lion you must first save the Install Mac OS X Lion application. After Lion downloads DO NOT click on the Install button. Go to your Applications folder and make a copy of the Lion installer. Move the copy into your Downloads folder. Now you can click on the Install button. You must do this because the installer deletes itself automatically when it finishes installing Lion.
2. Get a USB flash drive that is at least 8 GBs. Prep this flash drive as follows:
Open Disk Utility in your Utilities folder.
After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the drive in DU's status area. If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing. SMART info will not be reported on external drives. Otherwise, click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the drive entry) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, check the button for Zero Data and click on OK to return to the Erase window.
Click on the Erase button. The format process can take up to several hours depending upon the drive size.
3. Locate the saved Lion installer in your Downloads folder. CTRL- or RIGHT-click on the installer and select Show Package Contents from the contextual menu. Double-click on the Contents folder to open it. Double-click on the SharedSupport folder. In this folder you will see a disc image named InstallESD.dmg.
4. Plug in your freshly prepared USB flash drive. You are going to clone the InstallESD.dmg disc image to the flash drive as follows:
Open Disk Utility.
Select the USB flash drive from the left side list.
Click on the Restore tab in the DU main window.
Check the box labeled Erase destination.
Select the USB flash drive volume from the left side list and drag it to the Destination entry field.
Drag the InstallESD.dmg disc image file into the Source entry field.
Double-check you got it right, then click on the Restore button.
When the clone is completed you have a fully bootable Lion installer that you can use without having to re-download Lion. You can also use it to erase your hard drive and do a clean Lion installation.

Pre-installed Mountain Lion ; How to download ML from Appstore for free

Hi,
I've just purchased a macbookair that came with Mountain Lion 10.8.0. I wanted to download ML from appstore to make a bootable USB key for a future clean install, or just in case of trouble. But there is no mention for me to have it for free in the appstore, i have only the message that it is already installed on my computer.
The only apps that appears bought are "ilife" which i guess i will be able to download. Why Mountain Lion doesn't appears as a bought app ??
Thanks for your help.

Thanks a lot for your reply. It's very precise and helpfull. I guess i have to learn a little more about that Internet Recovery.
From what i understand, in case of trouble, i have no free way to boot from an usb key to repare my disk but there are already in my mac tools to repare a disk in trouble. Internet recovery allows me to download again my system if there is a big issue.
I've had a lot of macs since more than 20 years but it's the first time that one came without an installation disk.
I guess, it can be a good thing, but it's always safer to have a physical and without internet way of re-install a faulty system. It's a little strange not beeing able to download a thing you already have, installed on your computer.

Trying to download OSX Lion from AppStore on my iMac but it just hangs everytime and does not download

Trying to download OSX Lion from AppStore on my iMac but it just hangs everytime and does not download

I downloaded Lion on my 17" Macbook Pro and it took about 17 hours. At first I thought it wan't downloading so I cancelled. The next day I tried again and let it ride for the duration; If the status bar is showing that it is downloading (the bar at the bottom will show some blue after about an hour), then be patient. It will download. The installation takes roughly 30 minutes.

How to download Lion from Developer Center to install in Parallels VM

I have an iMac and a MacBook Air (MBA) both with OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion. I need to create a Parallels virtual machine with Mac OS X 10.7 Lion as the guest OS to be run on the MBA. I have Parallels installed on the MBA; all I need to do now is to create the VM. But first, I need a Lion install.
So, I accessed the Developer Center and generated a Redeem Code for OS X Lion which I have successsfully added to my list of purchases in App Store. However, when I try to download OS X Lion the following message is reported.
Any ideas how I can download Lion to install into my VM?

I guess I shouldn't ask why you would want to run Lion in a Parallels' VM.
I'm a software developer. I have a customer that has expressed a need for me to test the software being developed on Mac OS X Lion as well as OS X Mountain Lion. (I may also need to test on Snow Leopard but that's not definite at the moment.) I have Mountain Lion installed on my development machine (iMac) and test machine (MacBook Air) and I'd like to keep it that way - hence, my desire to install Mountain Lion in a Parallels VM.
As a registered member of the Apple Developer Program and as I understand it, I have access to past versions of Mac OS X - hence, the redeem code. This appeared to be the easiest way to get the OS X version(s) I need. It turns out, appearances can be deceiving.
Nothing shifty going on here, I assure you.

How can I keep lion from generating .DS_Store files on windows network partitions, but not disable it for all network partitions?

How can I keep lion from generating .DS_Store files on windows network partitions, but not disable it for all network partitions? I am fimilar with changing the setting for all network partitions(defaults write com.apple.desktopservices DSDontWriteNetworkStores true), but that is undesirable when I connect my laptop to my home network. A preferable solution would be where I could control the writing of these files based on disk format (NTFS vs HFS+).

Go to MacUpdate or CNET Downloads and search for ds_store. There are numerous utilities for preventing them from being transferred to Windows systems.

How do I download pics from my MacBook to my desktop? I know I can burn a disk and download, but is there an easier way? Thanks!

Or, if you have two compatible Macs with Lion, you can use AirDrop.
There's a compatibility list here:

Decided to download "Lion" from work to install at home

Decided to download “Lion” from work to install at home. We have a much faster connection at work. Went thru the procedure of Registering and Paying and as soon as I hit the download button, it started to install. DO NOT want to install at work. Where is the physical file to download?
The install is on pause at the moment. How do I stop it completly.
Instead of calling it a download button, call it what it is, an intsall button. Call a spade a spade!

Well I gambled and downloaded their upgrade from work. From the things I had read It just seemed to me it had to work and it did. Besides it would have taken me 12 hours at home to download and I’ve thrown away more in Vegas.
When it finally finsihed and asked me to install I quit the installer. Burned the Installer app to a DVD and took it home. I copied the Installer .app to the Applications folder and launched it. It went thru a couple of things and then after about a minute it wanted to restart the iMac. I thought man that was fast or it didn’t work. What it was doing was restarting from the Installer app. Took about 30 minutes to finish. Restarted and everything works fine.
I think the secret is coping it to the Applications folder and to launch/run it from there because I believe it’s last act is deleting the Installer app. (No installer app, No finish! - Just a guess) You always have a copy on the DVD.
