Go into your Applications folder
Find the app named Install Mac OS X Lion.app
Move that app to the trash
relaunch The App Store
go to your Purchased list
Click on install next to Lion
It will re-download the installer

    Which is it?  Is "it" incompatible or is the backup corrupt?

  • I have Firefox installed on both desktop and laptop. Firefox is NOT recognizing my settings (to open with previous tabs, etc) on the desktop only. How do I fix this.

    I have opened/closed browser numerous times, after "updating" and resetting my preferences. The settings "match" on laptop and desktop. Laptop works like a charm; desktop not at all.

    Since you have encountered the problem at other sites, not just Firefox, I'd bet that it is an Internet Explorer problem, not the web sites. Actually, I am sure it is an IE problem.
    Try running Windows Update, perhaps there are some updates for Internet Explorer that might resolve the problem. If you don't know how to run Windows Update, use the Help on your system to look for information on Windows Update.
    If that does not help, use Google to search for information on IE9 locking up when downloading.

  • My iPhone 5 reception gets cut randomly and gets replaced with NO SIM in the reception area. How can I fix this?

    So, I was running today with my iPhone in my pocket when later I noticed that I had no reception from it. On the top left corner where the "bars" of connection is supposed to be, a NO SIM icon appeared. I never had this happen before. So, I restarted my phone (hold down top and bottom buttons to force manul restart) and the reception bars appeared and things seemed to be normal. Then in about 2 hours later, when I was calling someone and mid discussion, the NO SIM icon appeared and my call was cut off. It was the same problem as before. I had to restart my phone again. There was nothing wrong about the recpetion in the area, I had LTE on, so nothing should be wrong with that part. Something possibly happened when I was running with my phone, but now, I dont know how to fix the NO SIM problem and how to get my phone going back to normal without restarting it so many times. Thank you very much.

    Go to a phone store for your cell provider and ask them to replace your sim if that is not pos for you you can try cleaning the contact patches for your sim
    Turn the phone off ( not just standby) use the tool that came with your phone in the pin hole in the sim tray on the side of your phone. With a pencil eraser gently buff the contact patches on the sim replace and restart

  • I downloaded Mac OS X Lion and when I go to install, it says file cannot be verified, may have been corrupted during download.  How do I determine if it is corrupt and how do I get a clean copy of Lion, since I have already paid for it?

    Download again, move the existing file out of the applications folder first.

  • Help! Bought a used iMac (2008) and I'm trying to install quicktime but its asking me for a password and has Apple in the "Name" spot.  How do I retrieve or reset the password?

    Can anyone help...
    I just bought a used iMac (2008) from an ebay seller and I'm trying to install quicktime but its asking me for a password and has Apple in the "Name" spot. 
    How do I retrieve or reset the password?
    It came with the upgrade of Mountain Lion but I cannot find quicktime in the applications.  When I try to install anything this Installer Password thing comes up... so I'm stuck.

    I think you're slightly misunderstanding something, so maybe I'll try to chime in, even though everyone has said it in various ways.
    Before OSX 10.7 (aka Lion) came out, the upgrades to OSX belonged to the Mac and not the user. Probably there was a technical legality in the user agreement that you couldn't do that, but everyone did. I could sell a Mac with Snow Leopard (or anything before that) by just erasing the hard drive, and reinstalling OSX. Then ship it to the buyer. Now, I was pretty honest as a seller, and including not only the original installation discs but also any upgrade. I would only sell a Mac if I was replacing it, so I always was getting the brand new version.
    With OSX 10.7, upgrading was done online, with no disks. So the upgrades were tied to an Apple ID rather than the machine. Recently, I sold a MacBook Pro (to upgrade to a 27" iMac), which came with Lion. I had promised the buyer that it would come with Mountain Lion, but I didn't know that the upgrade was tied to my Apple ID. I made good with the buyer by sending along a $20 Apple App Store card so that she could upgrade to Lion.
    So what everyone is saying here is that you need the original Installation discs or Snow Leopard disk to reinstall and wipe out the Mountain Lion that is on your Mac. It doesn't belong to you, it belongs to the seller, and without his Apple ID and password, you cannot use it. Once you do a reinstall of Snow Leopard, then you can upgrade to Lion and then to Mountain Lion. I do not believe you can upgrade directly to Mountain Lion from Snow Leopard, but I'm not sure.
    If the seller claimed that you were getting Mountain Lion, then he was lying to you (or being more civil, maybe he just didn't know like I did). If you bought the used machine from Amazon Sellers or from eBay, then you have recourse through the feedback system or through PayPal. If you bought it any other way, you're on your own.

  • I used a 3V card this is a credit card you top i used it on itunes bought a few apps but now that its after running out my itunes doesnt let me download free apps anymore and brings me to the billing info? how do i fix this

    i used this card called a 3v card which is a credit card you top up everytime you top up in selected shops you are given a reciept on this dare is all the information you need like cvv codes and exipiry dats and all that everytime you purchase a reciept your issued with new details  i had 20 in my account bought a item off the icarbons for 13 euro so i had 7 left i said il purchase some apps for my ipod so i entred in all the details into my ipod i sucessfully bought items but now that the card is empty everytime i try and download a free app it says billing info wrong an rings me to the billing info page how can i fix this problem ?????

    Part of the validation for credit cards is that they need to be registered to exactly the same name and address that you have on your iTunes account, which prepaid cards tend not to be. Do you have a proper credit card that you could use ? Or are iTunes gift cards available in your country so that you could try using them as your payment method ?
    Until you have a valid payment method on your account and what you owe iTunes has been paid off then you won't be able to download any item from the store, including free apps (and updates to apps).

    Old computer died and I am trying to install Illustrator CS5 on new computer.
    Last version I had before CS5 was/is Illustrator 10,which has been installed on new computer.
    CS5 install says I need CS2,3 or 4 before installing 5, but old computer went directly from 10 to CS5.
    How can I repeat this 10 to CS5 install?

    It does not seem likely that CS6 was upgraded from version 10.  You might want to check your purchase history in your Adobe account to see if there is some missing link in the chain of purchases you made.
    You can always try contacting Adobe support thru chat to see if they can find information or otherwise assist you in this matter.

    Are you running modified software on your phone?  This error seems to be common if the firmware has been modified and you're trying to restore the phone again.
