I have lost my recovery option from my imac

by mistake i delete that mac os x lion from my imac computer so how to reinstall lion on mac again. i was trying to install mac from recovery disk but its not showing on restart mode

Reinstalling Lion Without Erasing the Drive
Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the main menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu.
Reinstall Lion: Select Reinstall Lion and click on the Continue button.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.

  • Hi , I own a hp pavilion dv6 6050se laptop bought in UAE during 2011, I have lost the recovery discs

    Hi , I own a hp pavilion dv6 6050se laptop bought in UAE during 2011, I have lost the recovery discs.
    How do i get a copy of recovery discs??

    Hi,
    I don't see any link on your Product Page to order a replacement set of Recovery Discs, but it's always worth calling HP directly and see if you can order them this way.
    If you live in the US, contact HP Here.
    If you are in another part of the world, start Here.
    If you are unable to order these discs from HP, here's an alternative option you could try.
    Before trying the following, make sure you can still read the 25 Character Product Activation key on your Windows COA label ( 5 blocks of 5 alpha/numeric sets ).
    An example of a COA Label can be seen Here.
    You can create an installation disc yourself using another PC - just download the correct Disc Image ( this must be the same version that originally came with your notebook ) from the link below and use an application such as ImgBurn to burn the ISO correctly to a blank DVD - a guide on using ImgBurn to write an ISO to a disc is Here.  These Images are clean and from a well-respected source, however there are only limited versions available.
    Windows-7 sp1-iso-official-32-bit-and-64-bit
    Use the disc to perform the installation, enter the Windows activation key found on the COA Label when requested and when the installation has completed, use the 'Phone Method' detailed in the link below to activate the OS - this method supported by Microsoft and is popular with people who just want a clean installation of Windows 7 without the additional software load normally bundled with OEM installations.
    http://www.kodyaz.com/articles/how-to-activate-windows-7-by-phone.aspx
    Any additional drivers and software you may need can be found Here.

  • I have lost all my data from my iphone during synchronisation.  Can anyone tell me how to get the information back

    I have lost all my data from my iphone during synchronisation.  Can anyone help me?

    You might profit from a visit to a Minneapolis Apple store. With a brand new Mac, I think they will be most helpful - not just with transferring files, but with other advice as well. And I strongly recommend you invest in a back up drive. The Apple folk can help with that as well.

    Connect phone to computer.
    Select Restore.
    Tell iTunes which of the available backup files to use, let iTunes restore it.
    Also, try reading the User's Guide as it answers questions like this.

  • Help I have 'lost' my downloads icon from the dock. Can I retrieve it? If so please describe how, using simple terms

    Help I have 'lost' my downloads icon from the dock on my desktop Mac. Can I retrieve it? If so please describe how, using simple terms. I have tried searching folders, finder and trash

    Your Downloads folder should be in your Home folder. Just drag it to the Dock.
    If you've managed to delete it, try creating a new folder called 'Downloads'. You will probably need to nominate it in Safari or any other browser preferences as your download destination. (Safari Preferences>General, 'Save downloaded items to:' menu)

    The YouTube app is no longer included in the native apps. Apple recommends you visit the website.
    Perhaps google will make another app and make it available in the App Store soon, I miss it too.

    The Lion upgrade does not touch iPhoto. However, you may need to purchase an iPhoto upgrade.
    Look in your /Home/Pictures/ folder for the iPhoto Library file.

    A possible cause is a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.

    There are two ways to have photos on the iPhone. First is the camera roll, these are the pictures you have taken with the iPhone camera. The second are pictures that are synced to the iPhone through iTunes from the computer you sync with.
    The pictures in the camera roll are designed to by imported to the computer just like photos taken with any digital camera. They are not designed to be only stored on the iPhone.
    If you imported the pictures to the computer or performed a backup of the iPhone prior to the attempt to upgrade software on the phone,all you need to do is restore from a backup. If you did not create a backup, you can look for the last backup you made if the pictures would have been included in that backup. Unfortunately, in that last case, you will also lose everything you have done since that backup.
    If you have been backing up or syncing with iCloud, the pictures should be there.  If you have not done any of the above, the pictures are lost.

    Has iTunes been uninstalled or removed from you system?
    Is it no longer in the Start Menu or in Control Panel?
    What exactly was downloaded and installed?  There is no Windows 9, so it's not possible that it is installed on your computer.

    iTunes 11 does some thinks differently. See:
    iTunes 11 for Mac: Set up syncing for iPod, iPhone, or iPad
    or
    iTunes 11 for Windows: Set up syncing for iPod, iPhone, or iPad
    Also
    If you  have iTunes 11 turn on the Sidebar. Go to iTunes>View and click on Show Sidebar. You can also do a Crtl+S to show the sidebar. The sidebar is where Devices appears. and Control+B to show the Menu bar
