Could be a variety of factors
1: You have a machine that doesn't qualify for 10.7, like a Intel Core Duo. (check the requirements for 10.7)
2: Your ISP connection isn't fast enough or reliable enough (you do know Lion reinstalls are also done via online?)
3: You have a bad connection or ISP data caps.
4: You have changed your DNS settings and the Akamai servers Apple uses is too far from your location, (switch your DNS settings back to your ISP's DNS settings)
5: You don't have enough free drive space or RAM to handle 10.7. (2GB-4GB RAM, x amount of drive space to download 10.7)
6: You have leechers on your Internet and they are affecting your bandwidth.
7: You may have something installed or some other issue causing the problems.
Bewarned that your older PPC based software WILL NO LONGER WORK if you install 10.7!!!
This includes older drivers for third party printers, scanners etc.

In my opinion if your not covered by AppleCare, do not install 10.7.

My new iMac has recently had OSX Lion installed on it and now when I start the machine it looks like its updating something every time, and the wireless doesn't work. So I restart and everything is OK - until I have to start up again the next time?

My new iMac has recently had OSX Lion installed on it and now when I start the machine it looks like its updating something every time, and the wireless doesn't work. So I restart and everything is OK - until I have to start up again the next time - then I have to repeat this again! Any help appreciated.

I've been having the same issue, but have just discovered something on my own that hasn't been pointed out in any of the forums I've visited. In what I thought would be a vain attempt to help myself, I went to System Preferences, Users & Groups, and then clicked on Login Items. I discovered that one of the Items that was listed to open automatically upon login was iTunes Helper and that there was an exclamation point beside it indicating that it was incompatible. I simply deleted that item and now I don't have the situation you described and my wireless is connected. Hope this helps!

Since you are a developer, you will need to post in the private developer's forum.

Does the new 2011 iMac come with a osx lion preinstalled or a osx lion USB drive

Does the new 2011 iMac come with a osx lion preinstalled or a osx lion USB drive

I just bought the 17" MacBookPro the other day with Lion preinstalled and wanted to install Lion on my iMac. It makes sense that I should be able to upgrade for free you spend all this money on Apple products, give us apple supporters a break. Maybe this is something that Apple overlooked and in the future there will be a fix.
I read up on forums and I finally called AppleCare they said that I should be able to install Lion on 5 other computers but only if purchased in the store, this doesn't make any sense. I feel like I already purchased a copy and that copy should be able to be installed on another computer. It should be as simple as logging in app store with the same apple ID and it be there to install on my iMac. If apple is trying to make everything user friendly, device syncying and convenient well it's not; this is just something they think of. I refuse to pay $30 for another copy. Fix this issue APPPLE!!!
Because if those who bought computers in July that didn't have Lion preinstalled can obtain a free copy to install in 5 computers. I should be able to do the same with the Lion that I bought preinstalled it's just make sense to me.

IMac 27 inch i7 OSX Lion will not boot up from Hard Disc

iMac 27 inch i7 OSX Lion will not boot up from Hard Disc on cold start, and cannot find wifi hardware in the machine. Restart and everything is fine. I have two machine and they behave the same. Software or hardware problem?

First of all, try a hard restart; making sure no disks are in the slot, unplug everything from your computer (keyboards, mice, etc.) and then unplug the computer itself. Leave it unplugged for a minute or two, then plug it back in and boot it up.
If that fails, reboot it while holding down the option-key on your keyboard. The screen should show a choice of which disk drive to boot from. Choose your usual drive.
If that fails, reboot it while holding down the shift-key on your keyboard. It should take a while for it to boot up, as it is destroying all connections to sources that may contain a virus.
If that fails, reboot it while holding down keys "option-command-P-R" until you hear the startup tone a second time.
If that fails, reboot it while holding down the C-key. Make sure you have inserted the installation disk before doing this step.
If that fails, reboot it while holding down the command-key and the R-key.
If that fails, please reply to this and let me know.

Help! 13" macbook pro will not boot. Tried running disk repair from HD recovery, not repairable. Trying to reinstall OSx Lion, says disc is locked. Do I have to erase the drive and lose everything? I also have Bootcamp installed, will boot to Win OK

Hotrodmkviii,
try rebooting in Recovery mode, but when you reach the Mac OS X Utilities menu, run Terminal (from Utilities in the menu bar) instead. Inside the Terminal window, give it the following command, and then press the Return key:
diskutil list
Please include in your reply the output from that command.

Hi billzundel17,
If you are having an issue with your Apple TV telling you it can not play HDCP content, I would suggest that you troubleshoot using the steps in this article -
Apple TV (2nd and 3rd generation): About Apple TV and HDCP - Apple Support
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Best,

HELP..I received the message..."403 Forbidden" on the OSX Lion download.

Help... I downloaded the Mac OSX x10.6.8 Snow Leapard update. Then I downloaded the OSX Lion, but with in two seconds I received a message "403 Forbidden". What am I doing wrong?

Make sure that you use a DHCP server to assign the IP automatically instead of defining a fixed IP.<br />
Check the network setup (TCP/IP) settings.

I think PE 2 only worked as far OS 10.3 Panther. There is no alternative but to get the version that works on your 10.7 Lion Machine, which I think is PE 6 or higher.

Hello! Tried unsuccessfully to restore my MBP, running the Mac OSX Lion, to factory settings. I keep getting the "can't download additional components for the Mac OSX Lion" error when reinstalling the OSX Lion. Any tips on how to resolve this problem?

Hi
Given that your answer to 1. is 'pre-installed' and 3. is 'No', I think the only thing to do is to take it to an Apple store (ideally the one you bought it from) and have them reinstall it for you.
The intended solution in cases like yours is that you should be able to reboot and install even a wiped disk by using Apple's servers over the internet (you do this by restarting with 'command-r' and choosing 'reinstall Lion'). However if this isn't working for you then you need to get the store to do it. Don't let them fob you off with 'go home and try again'. Have them do it in the shop (you're still covered by Applecare warranty so it should cost you nothing save the inconvenience of the trip and possibly leaving the machine there while they fix it).
A reinstall should leave all your own personal data and programs in place.
Note for future: when you get it fixed, first thing to do is buy a cheap external drive and start keeping a backup (either Time Machine or clone with Carbon Copy Cloner).

Wrong! Check out KB Article: Intel-based Macs: Using Apple Hardware Test
Personally, I would not be running no test. Apple has a 90 day warranty on all their repairs. Return your computer to the repair shop but this time.......
When it’s time to pick up your computer from the repair shop:
*** Before you leave the repair shop, make sure you have the repair tech(s) power the comp up and demonstrate that it is indeed working & repaired properly too your satisfaction.***

Image Capture doesn't recognize my Canon device camera (it has before). I made a copy of the Image Capture app by mistake. What do I do?

My Macbook doesn't have iPhoto installed. ?? I don't know why, because it used to be installed.
I have been able to download photos from my camera using Image Capture, but now Image Capture doesn't show my camera in the Devices window. It did yesterday.
Ideally, I would like to install iPhoto again, but how do I do it without having to purchase the app again?
This might also be relevant:
I wanted to add an Image Capture icon to my dock, but I inadvertently made a copy of the app (called Image Capture copy). When I tried to erase the copy, I couldn't. Image Capture copy is in my Trash and the Image Capture app is in my Applications folder. I tried opening the app from both the Trash version and the app version, but it doesn't help.
Please help!

Use the disks that came with your Mac to do a custom install of the software you need, i.e. iPhoto. The disk should look like #4 in this screenshot:

I am getting the message that my email password and/or username is not correct. It is correct! I am the only one who cannot send or receive emails...I am the only one using a mac.

I am getting the message that my email password and/or username is not correct. They are both correct! I am the only one who cannot send or receive emails...I am the only one using a mac. i use mac mail and it is my companies server. I took my computer and iPhone to the Apple store...4 hours later they said that couldn't figure out why it wasn't working. Any suggestions???? I am also not able to log into the C-Panel...

Same here! Happened yesterday to me on New iPad and iPhone 4S. On iPad I managed to correct it by removing the account and activating it again as an Exchange account...I have mail and calendar OK!
On the iPhone nothing seems to work!
Facts:
1. everything worked perfectly for years!
2. I have the 2-step authentication deactivated on my google account so it cannot be this one.
3. On desktop everything works just fine, on iPad everything is OK with Exchange account added (after Google removed support for Exchange account access I CAN ONLY HAVE ONE DEVICE with Google Exchange account, so doing the same on the iPhone does not work!)
4. Tried to remove and add the account again - no results.
5. Tried to remove and add as Google, as Exchange, as Other account - I get calendar but no mail!!!
6. Tried to reboot between remove/add accounts - no results.
7. Tried to ("reset settings") reset the device - no results.
8. Tried to add as POP account and I it worked - I get mail but I do not need POP as I am using zounds of mail with labels and need to be working on an IMAP account
9. To make things even more complicated...I have another account which works perfectly!!!!!
Anyone out there having a clue?
