How to reboot osx lion after booting in win 7

Hi installed lion on MacBook. Booted into win 7 ( was dual boot in Osx). Can't reboot into lion now. If I choose ' reboot into Osx ' in windows boot camp - it reboots into win7. If I hold alt and reboot, it boots into lion, then restarts immediately into win 7. Have keynote to give in a few hours and am now desperate.
Sorry for spelling having to write this on iPad and autocrooect is a birch.

If you completely wipe the original Mac mini boot drive you will wipe the Server.app software an dlose it. You should make a backup first, perhaps by saving the entire boot drive as a Disk Image file on to another drive.
In terms of install 10.6, the 10.6 DVD will not boot on the new Mac mini even if you connect a DVD drive. You need to put the Mac mini in to FireWire Target Disk Mode and connect it to an older Mac that will allow booting from that DVD, then install on to the Mac mini (over FireWire), you then need to upgrade it using the 10.6.8 Combo Updater this will add the drivers needed for the new Mac mini.

How to dounload osx lion

i bought osx ion but my computer had to be fixed and hd to delete avery thing in it my question is how can i download osx lion again in my computer?

To install OS X Lion again, press Command and R keys while your Mac is starting to start into OS X Recovery, and install OS X.
If you can't, press Command, Option and R keys while your Mac is starting and install OS X.
If it doesn't work, insert the Mac OS X DVD that came with your Mac or the Snow Leopard disc, press C key while your Mac is starting and install this Mac OS X version. Then, after installing and updating Mac OS X, go to App Store > Purchases and download Lion

How to reinstall Mountain Lion after Mavericks OS has been installed without using the time machine?

Hi, I upgraded to Maverics a few weeks ago, and since than my computer has been very slow. It NEVER happened before. Now, I want to go back to Mountain Lion, but I didn't back up my computer with the time machine. I'd appreciate if anyone could tell me how to reinstall Mountain Lion again over Maverics? Thanks a lot for your help!

You will need either a bootable flash drive with Mountain Lion to install, if you have one, or reinstall Snow Leopard if your computer can boot Snow Leopard. Or you can use Internet Recovery to reinstall the original version of OS X that came with the computer. In any event you will have to repartition and reformat the drive.
Install Mavericks, Lion/Mountain Lion on a New HDD/SDD
Be sure you backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive because the following procedure will remove everything from the hard drive.
Boot to the Internet Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND-OPTION- R keys until a globe appears on the screen. Wait patiently - 15-20 minutes - until the Recovery main menu appears.
Partition and Format the hard drive:
1. Select Disk Utility from the main menu and click on the Continue button.
2. After DU loads select your external hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed. Quit DU and return to the main menu.
Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion. Mavericks: Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion, Mavericks and click on the Install button. Be sure to select the correct drive to use if you have more than one.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.

TS3926 Unable to reinstall Mac OSX Lion after internet recovery

Sequence of Events on My Macbook Air
1. I saw a flashing question mark in the morning on starting my macbook air
2. I then tried the internet recovery of my Macbook air
3. The system took me to a recovery partition where my only option was reinstall the OSX lion
4. I tried following the system till the Mac OSX lion disk selection
5. I do not see any disk to select and hence cannot proceed.
Any pointers? Is my hard disk gone for good?
Please advice Urgent!!!!

It's possible that the flash storage is damaged, but first, see if it's working properly. After starting in Internet Recovery, open Disk Utility and tell me if you see Macintosh HD in the sidebar. If so, go to Macintosh HD, open Erase tab and erase the disk. Finally, close Disk Utility and reinstall OS X.
If you don't see it, see if the flash storage appears at the top of the sidebar. If so, choose it, go to Erase tab and erase it. Then, reinstall OS X.
If you don't see the flash storage in Disk Utility or your Mac is in warranty, take it to an Apple Store or reseller

I need a mail server without SMTP authentification. Which is the right one? Or how to configure OSX Lions Mailserver?

Hello folks,
our HP Scanner with email delivery is one the most used pieces of hardware in our office. Just scan and get delivered to your inbox. That works easy and perfect.
Unfortunately we had to change our standard mail server and now a prerequsisite is the smtp authentification. But the HP admin interface on the scanner does not allow to enter smtp auth credentials. It only supports smtp delivery without username/password. Now I have a serious problem. I cannot find any external provider that supports smtp mail delivery without smtp authentification (against spam of course, I understand that).
I have a OSX Lion Server running as a file server in our network. But I have no clue if there's a way to use it's mailserver without smtp auth.
Is there anyone who can help me out?
Cheers,
Joo-Chen

I have a OSX Lion Server running as a file server in our network. But I have no clue if there's a way to use it's mailserver without smtp auth.
Sure. Turn it on.
The default mode is to not require authentication. You have to turn on authentication if you want it.
Changing authentication on/off is a matter of clicking a radio button.

How to install 2nd CD after booting

Hi,
I selected the Complete installation for Solaris 8 x86. After the first CD installed, the machine booted up but couldn't start the installer because the X server was only in 16 color mode. I am running on an Intel810. I have successfully installed Solaris 8 x86 on a different machine with a S3 graphics card.
How do I allow the installer to complete installation of the second CDROM which contains all the SUNWhea and other packges?
best regards
Dev

Or just do this:
Boot your machine and when dtlogin starts you up, open a terminal and type:
/etc/init.d/dtlogin stop
This should take you into command line mode. Now type "kdmconfig -u" and then type "init 6". This should reboot your machine and the WebStart installer should start in command line mode. You can then add patches afterwards. If Solaris boots and asks you to enter the root password because it tries to run kdmconfig, simply press ctrl+d.

How to Download OSX Lion WITHOUT App Store

I recently purchased OS X Lion for my old black Macbook. Unlike when I purchased OS X Snow Leopard and they sent me a CD, this time they emailed me the codes to download OS X Lion. The emails say that they require you to get the App Store in order to claim the download, which is only available through OS X Mavericks.
Since I updated my iMac to OS X Mavericks 6 months ago, I've had major problems with the machine ever since -- including iMovie becoming useless, and the computer freezing every couple of hours its used -- seemingly an overheating issue which I have been powerless to resolve. Since I didn't have Time Machine set up and can't figure out how to go BACK to the OS X I had previously on my iMac.... there's absolutely no way I'm downloading Mavericks to my Macbook as well. However, my Macbook is old and definitely behind on software... my safari won't let me upgrade to the newest one because I'm only on Snow Leopard and there are major security/spam issues on the outdated version. I need to upgrade to Lion.
My question is why would I buy OS X Lion if I had OS X Mavericks already? That would be useless.
So why would they make OS X Lion available to download ONLY through the App Store and thus ONLY through OS X Mavericks? That doesn't make sense.
Is there a way to get my OS X Lion downloaded without upgrading to Mavericks? Or is this just one of those dumb catch 22s that Mac invents just for the pure pleasure of being difficult on people who really try to enjoy their Macs?
I feel Mac purposefully makes their own machines useless a couple years after purchase in order to prompt people to buy the newest machines. Every necessary upgrade in order for our Mac to function, invariably makes our Mac dysfunctional -- like Mavericks preventing the built in iSight from working on my iMac...
My desktop has become very nearly useless and my laptop is on the way to being so if I can't upgrade to Lion. I am super frustrated that Mac is disempowering both of my systems.

Since you're running Snow Leopard 10.6.8, you'll have the Mac App Store. Open it from the Dock or the Applications folder.

How do I reinstall Lion after having to revert to previous Time Machine Backup of Snow Leopard?

After upgrading to Lion, had to revert to a Snow Leopard Time Machine backup in order to transition my Quicken data to a newer version of Quicken compatible with Lion. Now not sure how to get back my upgrade. Command-R during restart does not work, I'm sure because system is now running Snow Leopard. App Store does not show my purchase. Don't want to pay for Lion again. Don't want to restore Lion Time Machine Backup as I will lose my new Quicken Essentials version and data file.

If you are running Snow Leopard 10.6.6 or later open App Store and sign in with the same Apple ID you used to purchase Lion. Click on Purchases icon in the toolbar. You should see an active Install button to the right of your original Lion purchase entry.

How to get Mountain Lion after disk is deleted

I've deleted my hard disc in DU after pressing cmd+R. Then I tried to reinstall my Lion, but it didn´t work. I then restarted the computer and the computer search the internet for a while ending up that I could only install Mountain Lion. The problem is that it does not allow me to install it as I haven´t purchased it. And I can´t go back to install Lion. I've tried to purchase Mountain Lion from another computer so my Apple ID would be identified as I've purchased it. I´ve also tried to update via Safari from start up but it says it could not access mac adresses. My question: How can I buy Mountain Lion outside the actual computer that needs the installation.

It would help to know what type and age of computer it is, what OS it had originally and why you erased it. Perhaps you had dallied with a beta of ML and now want to rationalise your system?
Lion and ML have different Recovery Partitions, so it is not possible to go from one to the other without doing a complete erase, of the recovery partitions as well, from an external disk.
If you managed to purchase ML from MAS on the other computer, you can download a copy of the full 10.8.3 installer (4.4Gb) from the "Purchases" tab. It will download to the Applications folder and then ask if you want to install it on that machine. Make a copy of the Application and put it somewhere else. It will delete if allowed to run.
I'm not sure if you can just link two computers together and use one to do an erase install on the other, but some one will know. Else, I would buy an external hard disk, link it to the other computer and install onto it. Copy the full installer across too.
Now do an erase install on your own computer. Afterward you can use this external disk as your backup, using Carbon Copy Cloner (CCC) to keep it up-to-date.

HT4759 How much does OSX lion 10.7.2 cost?

How much does Lion OSX 10.7.2 cost?

Depends on the path to it. You must first have Snow Leopard that costs $29.00. Then purchasing Lion will cost $30.00 for a total of $59.00. Or you can buy Apple's USB Lion Flash Drive Installer for $69.00. Or you can wait until Mountain Lion is released this month. It will be $20.00 so upgrading would run a total of $49.00.

OSX Lion not booting on mbp early 2011

Hi I have a 2011 early mbp. Ive never had any issues with and and I upgraded to Lion when it came out. About 4 days ago it just would not boot into Lion at all. Would get stuck at the Apple Picture and the circle thing and thats it. I tried to boot the recovery partition and it would still get stuck at the same spot. I took out my hard drive and connected it Via USB on my iMac and it boots up just fine. I than used the recovery from the iMac and reinstalled Lion on the mbp hard drive. I put the hard drive back and it still wont boot up. Any ideas?

Have you tried booting in Safe Mode ?
Press the power button.
Immediately after you hear the startup tone, hold the Shift key. The Shift key should be held as soon as possible after the startup tone, but not before the tone.
Release the Shift key when you see the gray Apple icon and the progress indicator (looks like a spinning gear).
If still failing, sounds like an internal component failing and would visit an Apple Store and show them it's not the hard disk since it boots via USB.

How do I restore Lion after Hard Drive Crash?

My MacBook's hard drive failed recently. It was easy enough to pop in my SnowLeopard DVD and restore the lastest Lion TimeMachine backup. I was up and running in no time. Easy.
My question is what is the proper procedure in the era of Lion? This method only restores the main partition. What about the Recovery Partition? I'm assuming that could come in handy... you know, to repair the partition or disk permissions if needed, right?
I'm sure it's not as hard as I am making this out to be. If you could please point me in the right direction online, I would be very grateful. My googling skills aren't up to the task, apparently.

GRRR!!!
My apologies for cluttering up the threads. I didn't know how to word it, I guess.
