HT4718 How do I just download the Lion and then create a bootdrive to recover from? Where can I download the installer file?

I'm in Indonesia and my connection is unreliable, I don't want to get halfway through an internet recovery and it go wrong leaving with half an OS install.
Also - when I install, either by bootdrive or recovery, will it leave my partitioned hard drive data without formatting it?

Backup your data before you do anything:
https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-1992
Shut down, and disconnect the backup after shutting down.
Reboot with command-R. If it does not bring about the installer, your Mac may be able to get a firmware to allow command-R to bring about the installer:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4904
If that doesn't let you install it, go to here:
http://store.apple.com/id/product/D6106Z/A/os-x-lion
If you have purchased it already, and want to try again because the download failed, communicate with the App Store billing:
http://www.apple.com/support/mac/app-store/contact.html?form=account&topic=MacAp pStoreAccountandBilling
Before running the installer, but after the download completes, a file called InstallESD.DMG will be on your computer. This file contains a virtual installer disk you can keep for future use on a USB Flash drive or placed in another part of the hard drive that won't automatically erase. If you need to reacquire it, see this thread:
https://discussions.apple.com/message/15680371#15680371
Mountain Lion leaves behind an installer in the Applications folder which can be copied to safe location before the installer runs, and same with Mavericks.

Did you try to open teh fle by double-clicking its icon? If the file was made with an older version of Office, you may get that message. Try opeing PP and, from its "File" menu, see if you can open the ppt. I've foundthat often gets around that message and then yo ucan save the file from the newer version.
If that doesn't work, consider asking in the Microsoft Office: Mac forums here:

PowerPoint is not an Apple product and it seems a lot of people around here avoid Office.

Eli,
You can reset a Password (lost/forgotten) set on your Mac using 'Reset Password Utility' available with OS X Utilities tool. With OS X Mountain Lion, OS X Utilities tool can be generally found on a local hidden Recovery HD Partition if your Mac has one.
To check If your Mac has got a local hidden Recovery HD Partition, start your Mac holding COMMAND + R buttons. If you hold the keys pressed enough and there is a local Recovery HD Partition on your Mac, you will be presented with OS X Utilities window.
Click the 'Tool' menu item and choose 'Reset password'. Terminal window appears. Type 'resetpassword' into it and press 'Enter'. Reset Password window appears with User Account Names available on your Start-up Volume. Select the User Account Name and rest is simple to follow.
One of the advantages of this method is that it does not require any Authorization method such as administrative authentication to reset a password.
NOTE: If your Mac does not have a local hidden Recovery Partition on its system disk, you can create one using Disk Assistant application available from Apple. Search for the Disk Assistant in the support area.

Hello,
There are no files like that in that folder (com.apple.safari). They all have long numbers with .jpeg or .png at the end. That's what I meant by I cannot find any files like those mentioned in all the helps I read today. BTW-it's still crashing - no particular pattern to it at all.
The only two things I have downloaded recently is a new version of Flash and a Mac-driven update to Office.
Thank you very much for your attempt to help us.

try
In th App Store menu click on "Store" and "View My Account"
Under the "iTunes in the Cloud" section of the new window that appears there were 2 "Hidden Purchases".
Click on "View Hidden Purchases" and then click on "Unhide" on OS X Lion (assuming it is there - mine was).
It will now re-appear in your puchases section and you can re-download and install if necessary.

From where can i download Database gateway for 10.2.0.4 (windows 64 Bit)

Hi,
I have joined a company which has a legacy 10.2.0.4 RAC on windows. They did not have anyone to manage and now i am in.
I recommended them to upgrade to the certified version, but they do not want it as it will be decommissioned.
Now we have to connect to sql server from this database. I want to install gateway for that but i cannot find it for download.
Please let me know from where can i download.
And also i saw some discussions, where in it says it is possible to do this with out gateway?
Regards

Ed,

I would put the emphasis on the first part of your statement:
here the gateway would be installed on a RAC cluster.
Installing on the cluster, and the further decision to install on multiple nodes of the cluster, is a local decision. There is nothing about the gateway itself that requires this.
So you have n-node installations (as it does not ake sense to have the gateway just on one node which might be down). When you install DG4MSQL (not DG4ODBC) on 2 machines then you need two licenses as the gateway is licensed on a machine basis and it does not matter to how many MS SQL Server machines you're going to connect to.
- Klaus
I would agree with the obvious. IF (and I doubly-emphasize the "IF") one determined they wanted to install on multiple nodes of a cluster, they would have to consider the licensing implications.
However, my point is that there is no inherent need to install the gateway on a cluster in the first place, and so no need to incur that licensing issue.

1.1 Gateway Installation Configurations
You can install Oracle Database Gateway in either of the following configurations:
On the same computer as an existing Oracle database but in a different Oracle home.
On a system with no Oracle database.
On the same computer as the Oracle database and in the same Oracle home directory. Note that in this case, the Oracle database and the gateway must be at the same release level.
And if anyone is tempted to say "well, that's for *nix installations", the Windows installation guide says the same thing:
From Oracle® Database Gateway Installation and Configuration Guide 11g Release 2 (11.2) for Microsoft Windows E12061-06 (http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E11882_01/gateways.112/e12061/overview.htm#OTGIW100)

On the same computer as the Oracle database and in the same Oracle home directory. Note that in this case, the Oracle database and the gateway must be at the same release level.
Which is exactly what we opted for at my shop. Since the gateway is a system-wide resource, used to connect ANY of our oracle databases to ANY of our MSSQL databases, no one server made any more sense than any other. I wanted to have to manage only a single gateway and not have to worry about which gateway was on which machine to service which databases.

From where can i download "adobe acrobat distiller" ? and if its a part of acrobat family, is it available as a separate install within this product family "acrobat"
What is the latest version of distiller.
Where can i find more informaiton just on distiller?
Thanks,

There are many different Acrobat-related products.
Acrobat Standard
Acrobat Pro
Adobe Reader
LiveCycle (actually this is another separate enterprise oriented Acrobat family of products.
Acrobat Standard and Acrobat Pro will each install several software programs on your computer. One of which is Acrobat Distiller. Acrobat Distiller is a program that is used to convert postscript files into pdf files. Acrobat Distiller used to be the only way to create postscript files. Now many users never use Distiller to create pdf files, hence its prominence is deminished.

From where can i download iPod nano 2G 1.0.2 version software?

Hi everybody!
I searched this on the internet, with google, but i found nothing. So, knows anyone from where can i download iPod nano 2G 1.0.2 version software?
I want to downgrade my Ipod nano only because of white screen.
Thanks!

Hello StanGinger,
itunes does not support downgrading any ipod software, nor does Apple. White screen normally means your ipod has a hardware issue.
Try this:
Apple - Support - iPod Troubleshooting Assistant
If that does not work, use this:
Online Service Assistant
Hope this helps.
~Julian
P.S. I dont know of any place you can download the 1.0.2 software, nor once you get it, how to get it on the iPod.

Hello there stidhambr15,
I was researching the issue you are having and recommend a couple of things. First it might be a good idea to reset the device following iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting found here http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
Resetting your device
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
If that doesn't quite get the device going again, I recommend restoring the device.

Might even be a good idea to turn off the phone, reseat the SIM card, and turn it back on.

Hi, i wanted to resize my windows partion. I was thinking of using the default backup system for windows. Then switching to mac partion, deleting the bootcamp and then restoring a new enlarged partion from the backup. Is this possible?

hi,

I see youhave gotten recommendatons for using WinClone or CampTune. I have used both and they both work well.
You have asked about using the WIndows 7 utility to backup your drive and restor it onto a larger partition. I will tell you fro experience that this will probably not do what you want, and may do something that you don't want. You can use the Windows 7 native backup tool to make a backup of your Windows 7 partition. It will most liekly end-up making a dive image of the whole drive. When yourestore that backup, it will try to re-create teh partitions of exactly the same size as they were when the backup was taken, so it won't increase your partition size for you. Worse, since Windows doesn't natively know how to read./write HFS+ volumes, the backup will make a partition for your MacOS (replacing any you may have now), except that the copy restored by WIndows will be totally worthless, and you will not be able to boot MacOS from it, or even read it under MacOS.
Now I will tell you that I've also had some fairly good success working with the free tool CloneZilla. Since it hasn't been mentioned yet, and everything else mentioned does cost you money, I thought I would throw it out. CloneZilla is not as easy to use as the tools mentioned, but it has worked for me int hte past, so it is something to consider. I tend to use CampTune myself, but that was because I purchased a bundle deal for them and it was included in that deal.
