I downloaded and installed Lion now i can't find the file to burn

Does anyone know where the file is after you install the lion update. I want to burn it to disk but can't find it anywhere

why ? it is a fact.
The "install Mac OS X lion.app" is only a virtual folder, inside this folder ( right-click and "show package contents" ) you will find the real installation files and a hidden file, which contains the base system dmg ).
The net is full of instructions on how cou can create a bootable drive with the files inside the app.
After Lion has been installed from within Snow Leopartd it is too late, that's not rude to say that you should have taken care of that before..
At least what you are now experience is how Apple has invented the install process : One time launch within Snow.
some time later  ( next month or so ) Apple will sell bootable USB drives with Lion for all those that have no Internet. Your second chance, then.

    So it sounds like you are trying to burn a DVD with photos on it so the photos can be either transferred to or displayed on a Windows PC, is that correct?
    For the purposes of this I am going to assume you are using iPhoto '11.
    Gather the photos you want to burn to DVD in one album in iPhoto. This is not absolutely necessary but it sure makes things easier for me.
    Select that album, then go to the File menu and select Export...
    In the dialog that shows up, select the File Export tab. Select the setting you want to use for export. Click the Export button.
    Another dialog will show up. Set the location to Desktop and click the New Folder button. Name the folder something nice and descriptive and click the Create button.
    Click the OK button. Quit iPhoto as the rest of this work will be done in the Finder.
    You will now have a folder on your desktop with that nice descriptive name. Find it and select it. Go to the File menu and from it select Burn "Descriptive folder name" to Disc...
    Insert a blank DVD when prompted.
    Let the finder complete the work and eject the disc afterwards.
    That's it. Best of luck.

  • I installed a game, where can i find the files and maps? where does iMac store this data?

    I installed a game,Now I need to add some files however, I cannot find where iMac stores it.. where can i find the files and maps? where does iMac store this data?
    thx alot
    erik

    Depends on game, i would look first on the game file itself, right click (or ctrl click) the game file you installed (Applications?) and select show package contents, its usually a application bundle, as in basicly a folder where the application and the required files and subfolders are.

  • Mac user: Downloaded and dragged to App, but can't find the icon in App

    Followed the online instructions from the Firefox website. It downloaded quickly to my mac. I opened the download and the large icon opened showing the Firefox logo with an arrow pointing to App. I dragged the icon to the App logo and could hear the clunk that usually means the drag and drop worked. I then opened App and could not find Firefox.

    Do you see the Firefox application folder in the Finder?
    */Applications/Firefox.app/

  • I downloaded and installed Firefox but I can't open the program.

    This is the third time I've downloaded Firefox on this computer and have been unable to open it. I allowed it to become my default browser during installation but clicking on any weblink yielded this error message: "There was a problem sending the command to the program." When I changed the default browser back to Internet Explorer I could open websites using it, and also using Google Chrome, but still can't open Firefox.

  • Firefox can't find the file at /C:/WINDOWS/system32/oobe/icserror/icsdc.htm

    I deleted a stack of files and must have accidentally deleted this one. I restored my computer and all the other files came back except this one. I uninstalled firefox and reinstalled and still I get Firefox can't find the file at /C:/WINDOWS/system32/oobe/icserror/icsdc.htm
    This version also won't let me use my AVG plug in? Says it's not compatible

    hello tanisha625, it looks like some program has overwritten the default new tab page. you can either install the [https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/searchreset/ searchreset addon] to get rid of the problem or manually reset the page that opens on each new tab.
    enter '''about:config''' into the firefox location bar (confirm the info message in case it shows up), search for the preference named '''browser.newtab.url''' and double-click & change its value to '''about:newtab'''.

  • I downloaded and installed Lion on an external hard drive using my laptop which is running Snow Leopard I have now decided that I want to install Lion on my Laptop, but when I go to the App store and click on my purchases it will not download

    I downloaded and installed Lion on an external hard drive using my laptop which is running Snow Leopard I have now decided that I want to install Lion on my Laptop, but when I go to the App store and click on my purchases it will not download again

    Thanks Dirk,
                         Tried your suggestion various ways but it had no effect the download button was still greyed out and the install button would not activate will keep trying to find a solution. I dont want to boot from the external hard drive that has Lion on mainly because it is a usb HD and the connection to my wireless modem slows the connection rate and downloading would take about ten hours

  • Before I downloaded Lion every time I would upload a pic from iphoto there would be two files.  One that was 1.8MB and another that was 50KB.  Now I can only find the 1.8MB one.  Did this option disappear with Lion?

    Before I downloaded Lion every time I would upload a pic from iphoto there would be two files.  One that was 1.8MB and another that was 50KB.  Now I can only find the 1.8MB one.  Did this option disappear with Lion?  I really need this option!

    Sorry but this is not clear.
    When you would "import" what?
    two files would show up in "images".
    Do you mean in the All Images search in the Finder?
    IF so:
    1.Never interact with photos that are in iPhoto via the All Images Search. This does not understand the iPhoto Library and it's very, very easy to damage the library this way.
    2. What you were seeing was the original file you imported and the thumbnail created by iPhoto for viewing on the iPhoto Window. That thumbnail is not designed for user access.
    What are you trying to do ultimately?
    Regards

  • I've downloaded Microsoft Office 2011 and installed it, but i can't find it on my applications or open it up in my downloads

    I've downloaded Microsoft Office 2011 and installed it, but i can't find it on my applications or open it up in my downloads. I can I get my microsoft up and running? - New to Mac

    Did you actually run the installer? If so, there should be a Microsoft Office 2011 folder in your Applications folder. Have you checked there and confirmed that the folder does not exist? If it does not, try running the Office installer again. Note that if all you did is open the disk image file, you have to now go to the image (which looks like a drive in Finder) and then run the installer.
    Regards.

  • Downloading and installing Lion issue

    i have tried downloading and installing Lion but I keep getting errors similar to "error occurred, unable to install scripts from mzm.stuhjljp.pkg"  Any help???

    I was getting that as well.  But I think the best thing is to "ignore it."  I know it's silly but make sure you have repaired permissions on your drive and you meet the requirements, etc.
    This is what I saw before completetion.
    1.  Credit card was charged only once (despite multiple prompts to buy).  I tried it on different dates but it was billed on first day.
    2.  The second day it didn't prompt to buy but only gave the pkg error.  It always had 6 minutes left and I was getting kicked out of App store and had to log in again.  Lion icon looks as if it docks on your dock but it doesn't really do anything.
    3. Go to the /Applications folder.  You will not find the mzm.stuhjljp.pkg file anywhere but you will find the Lion installation file. 
    4.   Click on the installation file and it works!
    The installation file is actually the complete 3.49 gigabytes. 
    Good luck!

    I have purchased Lightroom 5 and had it installed but I had to replace my matchbook pro and now I can't find the activation key - is there a way I can get it emailed to me or how do I find it? Most other plugin's email out the activation key so you have a copy but I have seen no way to get it.

    If you registered your Lightroom with Adobe after you installed it, you can log into your Adobe account and get your serial number from your account.

    These are user-to-user forums, you are not talking to Apple here.
    Audiobooks (and ringtones) are currently a one-time only download. I believe that they are all supplied to Apple by audible.com, so I assume that it's them who are requiring the one-time only download restriction. To get it onto your other devices you will need to sync it via a computer. Depending upon what country that you are in, Audible.com have their own app (Audiobooks from Audible) so you might be able to buy direct from them, though I don't know whether you can buy within their app or download audiobooks directly from them within the app e.g. whether they need to be copied via a computer.
