I am trying to install a clean copy of Lion, but I don't see the OS in my Disk Utility

Good Morning Friends,
I am trying to install a clean copy of Lion, but I don't see the OS in my Disk Utility... I am lost.

Hi Bohandleit208,
Just double-click on the Lion installer to install it. You should not need Disk Utility for that purpose. The Lion installer should be in your Applications folder.

So I just bought a used MacBook from Amazon with OSX 10.5.8. I am trying to install new software and operating system, but I don't have the passwords to the Users set up in the computer. What do I do?

Put your install DVD into the optical drive (CD/DVD drive) and reboot. Be sure to either use the disc that came with your Mac, or, if you installed a later Mac OS X version from disc, use the newer disc. As soon as you hear the boot chime, hold down the "c" key on your keyboard (or the Option Key until the Install Disk shows up) until the apple shows up. That will force your MacBook to boot from the install DVD in the optical drive.
When it does start up, you'll see a panel asking you to choose your language. Choose your language and press the Return key on your keyboard once. It will then present you with an Installation window. Completely ignore this window and click on Utilities in the top menu and scroll down to Reset Password. After resetting the password use Startup Disk from the same menu to choose your hard drive for startup and restart.

I'm trying to mirror my iPad 2 or my iPhone 4S to my Apple TV but I don't see the Airplay icon on either device.

I have an iPad 2 and an iPhone 4S. I bought Apple TV recently and I've gotten bored of just using it to stream Netflix. I've been trying all morning to get Airplay to work on either my iPad or my iPhone, but I don't even see the Airplay icon when I doubleclick the Home button and swipe right. For a while when I first bought my Apple TV, I was able to play movies from my MacBook to my AppleTV, but now I don't see that option on my MacBook either. What is going on?!? At this point, I'm feeling like AppleTV might have been a waste of $99 if it's so difficult to get to work properly, but there has to be something that is wrong. I haven't changed any security settings or anything recently, and all my devices are running off the same wifi network. I tried everything that Apple says to do if Airplay doesn't work, but nothing is helping.

You have to swipe in a left to right motion. If the airplay icon isn't showing up it's likely something within your network that is blocking it. You can also try rebooting devices and router.

I'm running Snow Leopard 10.6.8 and trying to install a purchased copy of Lion 10.7, to no avail. Apple Support doesn't seem to have a solution - help?

I purchased Lion 10.7 on Christmas Day, I received my redemption code a week later. I've tried to download Lion to no avail. I've been in contact with Apple Support and they haven't been much help so far. My computer is currently running Snow Leopart 10.6.8 - however, I received Photoshop Elements for Christmas and I need at least 10.7 in order to run the program. Nothing is working. Before commenting - I CANNOT install Mavericks because it'll mess up the versions of Filemaker Pro and Quicken that I use regularly. I tried installing Mountain Lion, at the suggestion of Apple Support but I need to be running at least 10.8 in order to install that. What do I do? I don't want to have to be pushed into buying another computer when this one works just fine - but I'd like to be able to run Photoshop Elements. Apple has charged my credit card for the purchase of Lion and yet it won't install and I don't know what to do now.

Quicken 2007 for Intel (Snow Leopard, Lion, Mt. Lion and Mavericks) for $15:
http://quicken.intuit.com/personal-finance-software/quicken-2007-osx-lion.jsp
It will input your Quicken PPC data file directly if it was Quicken 2005 through 2007. If older you need Quicken 2006 or 2007 PPC first to convert your data file; and this update must be done BEFORE you upgrade to Mavericks:
http://quicken.intuit.com/support/help/patching/quicken-2006-manual-updates--mac -/GEN82200.html
Filemaker Pro PPC (in this case 7) running in Snow Leopard Server installed into Parallels for use in Lion, Mt. Lion and Mavericks:
[click on image to enlarge]
Snow Leopard Server: 1.800.MYAPPLE (1.800.692.7753) - Apple Part Number: MC588Z/A (telephone orders only)
This solution allows you to run your Photoshop Elements in Mavericks concurrently with Filemaker Pro PPC. Mavericks is a free download.

I recently installed your new version of firefox but i still cannot see the security settingsfirefox is experiancing a problem will have to close down or how to control viruses etc and as your answer

all i want to know is how can i check for viruses etc using firefox and where can i find the security settings or are you doing that automatically,it has also crashed when i opened a vcl player

To downgrade to Firefox 3.6 first uninstall Firefox 4, but do not select the option to "Remove my Firefox personal data". If you select that option it will delete your bookmarks, passwords and other user data.
You can then install the latest version of Firefox 3.6 available from http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html - it will automatically use your current bookmarks, passwords etc.
To avoid possible problems with downgrading, I recommend going to your profile folder and deleting the following files if they exist - extensions.cache, extensions.rdf, extensions.ini, extensions.sqlite and localstore.rdf. Deleting these files will force Firefox to rebuild the list of installed extensions, checking their compatibility, and reset toolbar customizations.
For details of how to find your profile folder see https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Profiles

HT1430 I would like to share and email pictures from my album in my ipad but I don't see the logo of email. I can only choose FB, print and copy. What happen to my email logo?

i would like to email pictures from my photo album in ipad but the logo of email is not there to send. I can only choose FB, copy and print. what happen to my email logo?

I wouldn't want to say exactly, however I would imagine that it has to do with the fact you use the same Apple ID on both devices. Since Facetime was activated on the phone, with the number, and then activated on the iPad with the email and same Apple ID, they are somehow linked. I'm not sure that you can separate it without having a different Apple ID on the two devices. Otherwise you can look at this support document http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3367 and see if that helps you any.

HT4534 I'm just trying to get facetime on my macbook pro, but I don't see any way to do it, I'm going round in circles here. This store is the pits.

How do you buy facetime and get it on your mac? I'm going around in circles trying to perform this task.

Lezah,
There is only one Facetime Application available as a download from the App store. Fortunately, it is the one you need for your 10.6.8. MacBook. It is actually known as Facetime for Mac. If you go to the app store and search for Facetime, you should see it as an available download. The cost was 99 cents when I downloaded it last year.

I restarted my Ipod Nano I'm trying to sync my library from my computer to my Ipod but I don't see the sync prompt

I grew impacient and since I couldn't transfer my Ipod Nano's songs to my computer and also I coudn't sync my existing library from my computer to my Ipod Nano, I decided to restore my Ipod, obviously in blanck. But I thoght that restoring my Ipod it would make easier to transfer the songs from my PC to my Ipod but I don't see any prompt o question to sync the library. I'm also wondering if when you restore the device you're also deleting the Operating System ?? (crap) I would really appreciate if somebody can help with this issue or I'm afraid I' need to buy a new one...
Thank You !!
BTW: My Ipod Nano is 5th Generation.

When trying to install a digital copy, everything works including the downloading, until it is processing to iTunes then I receive "You do not have enough access privilages for this operation. Check the disk to make sure it is clean and retry." error.
Tryed several times, Same Results. Tryied rebooting, logging out & into iTunes, Same Result. Seems to do this error with every digital copy, but works eventually. But now will not post digital copy to my iTunes at all. Just same error over and over.
Any Thoughts??

Oddly enough. I think I just solved it. It looks like, for some reason, my computer has about 8 different "iTunes music" folders, and I've been saving my music to the wrong one. Neat. Music now imports and plays as it should. Copying things over is going to be so fun tonight!

I am trying to install a registered copy of Photoshop Lightroom that I never installed on my Apple iMac with software version 10.10. I get the message "Adobe Lightroom 1. Cannot be installed on this disk because a newer version of this software already

I am trying to install a registered copy of Photoshop Lightroom that I never installed on my Apple iMac with software version 10.10.
I get the message “Adobe Lightroom 1. Cannot be installed on this disk because a newer version of this software already exists on this disk”
If it is here – I cannot find it anywhere, and I don’t believe that I ever installed it.
I have ordered the upgrade to Lightroom 5.0 and figured that I should install Lightroom 1.0 first.
How can I solve this problem

Actually when LR 5 starts for the first time after it is installed it will have a dialog to Buy, Try or Enter a serial number. You select Enter a serial number and enter the LR 5 serial number first and then because it is an upgrade serial number it will ask for the serial number of a Previous version. You then enter the LR 1 serial number.
