I can't get lion downloaded!

I have been trying since friday to download lion to save my mobileme. My hard drive was failing and i had to backup everything up but I didn't know it was failing til it failed last night. I got it replaced today and restored my drive. Now it's after hours at apple and i finally got to where i was trying to redownload Lion and it won't LET ME!!!!
it says I have to log in from the account i downloaded it from and won't let me download. I also can't get my system prefs to show i have my mobileme name. How am i going to get my account moved? I was told by apple care i had a few days grace period and i can't get this thing moved and can't afford to lose my email addresses
i just want to download my lion thing -- and it shows in purchases but i can't get it to download now that i've restored from time machine on the replacement drive i had put in today after SMART errors caused my hard drive to fail earlier.

I HATE APPLE. I HAVE BEEN FORCED INTO THIS FREAKING MOVE WHEN I HAD A LOT OF THINGS TO DO ALL MONTH WITH TWO JOBS AND WHEN I HAD MY FREE TIME I HAD TO SPEND 20 HOURS PLUS TRYING TO GET THIS THING BACKED UP AND MOVED AND THE DRIVE DECIDED TO FAIL AND THEY HAVE NOW FIXED IT TO WHERE I CANNOT GET THE LION TO BE RECOGNIZED AS SOMETHING ON THIS COMPUTER ACCOUNT BECAUSE IT WON'T LOG INTO MOBILE ME TO ACCEPT IT BECAUSE I HAD TO RESTORE THE DRIVE FROM TIME MACHINE.
PLEASE SOMEBODY TELL ME HOW TO GET IT TO RECOGNIZE THIS IS THE SAME ACCOUNT. I CAN'T ASK APPLE ANYTHING BECAUSE THEY ARE CLOSED. I WANT MY MOBILE ME ACCOUNT EMAIL ADDRESSES. I HAVE BEEN TRYING SO HARD TO GET MOVED AND EVERYTHING WENT WRONG!!!!!
NOW I HAVE THE HARD DRIVE RESTORED TO SNOW LEOPARD AND I PURCHASED LION BEFORE AND BECAUSE I ALREADY PURCHASED IT FOR SOME REASON I CAN'T DOWNLOAD IT BECAUSE I CAN'T GET THE COMPUTER PREFS LOGGED INTO MOBILE ME. I HATE THIS.
I AM SO SICK OF DEALING WITH APPLE COMPUTERS AND HAVING THEM RIP THINGS OUT FROM UNDER ME, FIRST DOT MAC WAS YANKED OUT FROM UNDER ME, NOW THEY HAVE TOTALLY SCREWED ME OVER AGAIN.

Hi, original poster here. I did not realize this would generate more discussion so I never checked back. I still had my warranty, so I took it to the store and got it repaired. The original problem I had was a screen with this icon flashing when I attempted to boot it up:
When I took it to the store, they told me that my computer was unable to communicate with the hard drive. I had this same problem three times in two months where this screen reappeared. Each time I went back to the store and they said the cause was different, but they were all hardware issues that physically made it impossible to communicate with the hard drive. After the third time, they simply replaced my laptop and I haven't had the same problem.
So in short: The reason you can't reinstall or move anything when you encounter this screen appears to be because nothing can communicate with the hard drive in the first place. You can't reach the disk or anything on it. So I don't believe it's possible to do anything besides take it to a physical store and have it fixed.

How can I get Lion re installed after crash and no recovery disk?

I bought Lion some time ago I did not do a recovery disk and now I had a huge crash. I started over with Snow Leopard cause that's all I had. How can I get Lion re installed?

Make sure you're up to 10.6.8 through Software Updates, and then re-download Lion from the App Store.
Incidentally, many Macs (from 2010 models onwards) have the ability to run Internet Recovery, even if your original hard drive crashed, which will allow you to re-download and install Lion directly from the internet.
But the best way is always to have a local backup of your system drive.

How can I get Lion to work with label printer- Brother QL 570 or Dymo 450 Turbo?

I can't get Lion to work with label printers, either Brother QL 570 or Dymo Turbo 450. I want to uninstall Lion and use Snow Leopard unless there is a way to make Lion work with these devices. Any ideas?

Dymo has released new drivers since Lion came out. Have you downloaded and
installed them from the Dymo website?
Some people have said that their Dymo label printers were set to off line by Lion, but
worked fine after going to Print & Scan, selecting the Dymo printer, and making sure
it was active/on-line. I had to do that with my Dymo 450 Label Writer.
I cannot offer any tips about Brother, but you may wish to check their website
for latest drivers.

HT200027 I am still running Leopard Mac OS X 10.5.8. How can I get Lion Mac OS X 10.6, so I can update to Mountain Lion?

I am still running Leopard Mac OS X 10.5.8. How can I get Lion Mac OS X 10.6, so I can update to Mountain Lion?

Upgrading to Mountain Lion
You can upgrade to Mountain Lion from Lion or directly from Snow Leopard. Mountain Lion can be downloaded from the Mac App Store for $19.99. To access the App Store you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.6 or later installed.
If you need to purchase Snow Leopard you can still purchase a copy from Apple's online store's telesales agents.[1-800-MY-APPLE (1-800-692-7753) or Customer Service and Sales Support at 1-800-676-2775.] Ask for a Sales Representative.
Third-party sources for Snow Leopard are:
Snow Leopard from Amazon.com
Snow Leopard from eBay
After you install Snow Leopard you will have to download and install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 to update Snow Leopard to 10.6.8 and give you access to the App Store.
If you need to purchase Lion call 1-800-692-7753 or 1-800-676-2775. Ask for a Sales Representative. They will check your Apple ID, and email you a code and instructions. The cost is $29.99 (as it was before) plus tax. It's a download.
Be sure your computer meets the minimum requirements:
Apple - OS X Mountain Lion - Read the technical specifications.
Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Mountain Lion
iMac (Mid 2007 or newer)
MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer)
MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer)
MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer)
Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer)
Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer)
Xserve (Early 2009)
Are my applications compatible?
See App Compatibility Table - RoaringApps - App compatibility and feature support for OS X & iOS.
For a complete How-To introduction from Apple see Apple - Upgrade your Mac to OS X Mountain Lion.

Frustrated with Mountain Lion. Where can I get Lion instead?

Since I can not upgrade from Snow Leopard to Mountain Lion, where can I purchase/download OS X Lion instead? Can not find it anymore in App Store or Apple website. Please help.

You can still get Lion but you have to CALL the Apple Web store, and or Phone ordering #, and they will email you a code you can use on the Mac App Store to download Lion. Cost $29.99.
It is something like 1-800-MY-Apple.
NOTE:
If they sell it to you and you download it SAVE those files to another folder on your drive and use the lastest version of this program,
Serial Serveur » Lion DiskMaker (US)
To make yourself a Lion Install USB thumb drive so you will always have a way to reinstall Lion on all but the newest Mac computer you own (the newest Mac's have a special build of Lion that the normal Lion installer will not work on).

How can I get a downloaded ringtone/song to appear in the settings/sounds/Ringtones menu area on Iphone 4? Thanks

You must create the ringtones. google will find several free ways to do this.
It will then appear in the "Ringtones" section of your itunes "Library".
Then you select it to sync under the ringtones tab.

How can I get a download again after I already bought it?

About a week and a half ago, I bought a new South Park episode. I wasn't gonna have time to download it after I bought it, so I closed iTunes. I opened it again to see if the download was gonna still be there, but it wasn't there. Can I get the download again without paying again?
Windows XP

In iTunes, did you try store>check for purchases, to
see if your download will re-start?
How do u do that?

How can I get my downloads folder to appear in the docking station

How can I get the download folder to remain on the docking station

Note if you don't have any folders on your Dock, note the trashcan is on one side of the dock with a divider between it and applications. Minimized windows (with the yellow button on the upper left corner) will go between the trash and that divider. You can drag folders into the section between the minimized windows and the trash.

I updated my 4s to ios7 and the phone is now completly dead. I tried to restore it with the new itunes but it won't restore. If you can't get the download be glad! Anyone have any ideas other than going out and buying a new Samsung phone?

No not jailbroken. After the update which took about 45 minutes. The phone went black. Dead. Wouldn't restart. Using the new itunes I tried to restore it. It went through the motions; the white Apple and progress bar appeared on the iphone screen. Then I got a message "Itunes has detected an iphone in recovery mode. You must restore this iphone before it can be used with itunes." Then the phone went completly dead again. I Repeated the process and got the same results. Is there another way to restore the phone if it's dead, besides itunes?

Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

I can't get to download the app store after all the updates. I have version 10.6.8 and there are no more available updates for my operating system.

Look in the HD/Applications folder.

Can't get to download center

can't get to download center....keep getting a blank screen....I also get "Get Started" but when I click on it, nothing happens

Thanks for your quick response, but I will not be purchasing
anymore
(This is totally absurd, you guys can't even program your website to work right!)
Microsoft
(Well since the buttons aren't working, I guess this will have to be done in bold type?!?) products in the future. I am totally fed up with Microsoft and Apple forcing their customers to constantly change to new OS's with all kinds of "bells and whistles"
that I don't and have never had need for and consequently new machines in order to use their computers. I haven't programmed for years, but I'm going to go to
Linux anddliub
(why does this write backwards? That was supposed to be 'build') my own software. Terrible inconvenience, but maybe I can get a movement started!

Can't get Lion Server to work

Hi
As written above. I can't get Lion server to work.
I have succesfully installed the program, and turn on some of the services. Then I have bought a domain, to connect to my server. But if I try to connect to my IP, from another computer, it doesn't connect. I have tried to "port forwarding" port 80 on my router, and given my Mac a static IP. I have checked with a "Check port opener" if the port 80 was in reach, it was.
So my question is, what is the next I can do to make it work. First with the IP and then with my domain?

Yes, SMTP used to work but stopped after new cert applied. IMAP works fine. Removed SSL and still doesn't work (although should it be restarted or is save for changes okay).

Where can I get a downloadable copy of Adobe Acrobat 9 Standard? I have my original serial (key) number, but I lost my actual software.

Where can I get a downloadable copy of Adobe Acrobat 9 Standard? I have my original serial (key) number, but I lost my actual software. I am trying to move my Adobe to a new laptop.

Actually, you are out of luck if you are looking for Acrobat Standard. I have run into a problem because the link is for Adobe 9.0 Pro and the serial no. for Std. won't work. I asked Adobe customer (chat) service for a downloadable of the Standard and they said they don't have one. Did you get the Std. version as part of the preinstalled software on your computer? If so, it would be on the recovery media of your old laptop but I don't know how you would retrieve it from there. I am in the exact same boat as you are. Let me know if you find out how to get the media for the Standard by responding on this thread. Thanks.
