I want to go back to Lion but It won't let me.

So I bought Pro Tools 11 and I had to update my Osx frome Lion 10.7 to Mavericks 10.9, but then I realized that my Audio Interface was not compatible with Mavericks. Luckly Pro Tools 11 also came with Pro Tools 10 which was compatible with Lion. So I decided to reset my Mac to factory setting. I did the who process, I went into recovery mode, deleted my hardrive, and when I went to reinstall Lion and it showed Mavericks. So I decided to just look around and see if I could find lion for free but turns out I have to pay for it. I really don't feel like it's neccesary to pay for something that I technically already bought. Can anybody help me out? Please and Thank you.

Try Internet recovery mode—restores OS machine shipped with (assuming it was Lion), ⌘⌥R.

How do I keep my email password from remaining in Preferences? I want to enter it every time I get my mail. I upgraded to OS M Lion but it won't let me delete it from preferences. It's worked prior to using M. Lion. Any suggestions? Thanks!! Jen

How do I keep my email password from remaining in Preferences? I want to enter it every time I get my mail. I upgraded to OS M Lion but it won't let me delete it from preferences (the password from Account Info). Once you enter the password, it keeps it permanently. i do not want that. It's worked prior to using M. Lion. Any suggestions? Also, The other pressing issue i have is, I DO NOT want ANY mail showing in my inboxes when Mail starts UNTIL i enter that password for each account. Instead of creating different user accounts for the MacBook, it's just easier this way. Or is it? If this is a permanent thing, then I may switch back to Lion. I guess I shoud've waited until the kinks were out before installing (**** Mac-head!)
Thank you all kindly for any suggestions & your time
Regards,
JC

I DO NOT want ANY mail showing in my inboxes when Mail starts UNTIL i enter that password for each account.
That is simply not possible with Mail, and never has been. Anyone who uses your account can see all messages stored in Mail. The only true solution is to not let other people use your account. Let other people use the guest account, or if you share the machine with someone else, set up a separate user account for that person. This will also solve the problem of remembering the password. It will become a non-issue for Mail to remember your password if nobody else has access to your account.

HT1311 I want to change store back to UK but it won't let me. It keeps saying I have a store credit balance that I have to spend before changing stores. What do I do?

I am in the UK and I wanted to view an app but it said it was only available in US stores and it asked me if I wanted to change stores. So I stupidly chose yes so I could see the app. Terrible mistake. It was a rubbish app and I can't change my store back to the UK store, because of this, I cannot update my apps that aren't from the US store and it really frustrates me.
I've done what apple has said. Log out, sign in, change country/region to selected store but that didn't work. It said:
You have a store credit balance; you must spend your balance before you can change stores
What do I do?

Oh and I do not want to clear my balance, I have quite a lot left on there.

I forgot my passcode for my iPad and I want to back it up but it won't let me since its not unlocked. What could I do?

Too late to backup.
FORCE IPAD INTO RECOVERY MODE
1. Turn off iPad
2. Turn on computer and launch iTunes (make sure you have the latest version of iTune)
3. Plug USB cable into computer's USB port
4. Hold Home button down and plug the other end of cable into docking port.
DO NOT RELEASE BUTTON until you see picture of iTunes and plug
5. Release Home button.
ON COMPUTER
6. iTunes has detected iPad in recovery mode. You must restore this iPad before it can be used with iTunes.
7. Select "Restore iPad"...
Note:
1. Data will be lost if you do not have backup
2. If you did not do step 4 properly, start all over again.

Itunes says that I have five computers authorized, but I have only done this for one computer. I want to authorize a new computer but it won't let me. Any ideas on how to fix this problem?

I have one computer authorized to connect with my ipad and ipod. I would like to authorize my husband's computer to enable home sharing, but keep getting the error that I have five computers authorized. Not sure how this is possible. I'm tempted to try to deauthorize all computers and start over, but fear that this may create new problems. Any ideas on where the issue is?
thanks -
Deb

Hi Deb,
Deauthorizing all is definitely the way to go. You will just need to authorize your computer again after, as well as your husband's.
Here's some additional information on deauthorizing all:
iTunes Store: About authorization and deauthorization

I hope this helps!

HT1338 I downloaded OS X moutain lion but it won't let me install it on my MAC HD drive. it says it can't becease time machaine use the MAC HD drive. How do I get this Installed?

e time machaine use the MAC HD drive. How do I get this Installed?

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
That's because you have a "Backups.backupdb" folder at the root level of the hard disk, so the Mountain Lion installer detects that your OS X partition is being used by Time Machine. Just open Finder, select Go menu (on the menu bar) > Go to Folder, and type "/" (without quotes). Finally, delete the "Backups.backupdb" folder and run the OS X installer again

It sounds like this parameter used to be in a stored procedure. I see you removed the reference to it in your procedure which is good. I think to make it disappear you could reset the data connection to a brand new one. If you are using ODBC give the DSN a different name. If you are using a native driver use a different driver like OLE DB or ODBC. Then reset the connection back to the original data source in the report. I think this will force the report to recognize it needs to update the connection information.
If the problem still exists, I recommend creating a copy of this report and removing half the items. If you get the parameter still, remove half of the remaining items. Keep doing this till the parameter goes away. Once the parameter is gone undo the changes until you find the item that is causing this.
I think you're best bet is to start with resetting the data connection and running it first before setting it back to the original.

Do you see a price next to Lion ($29.99 or local equivalent)? Click that to purchase and download it. You'll have to sign in if you're not already.
Also, your profile is wrong if you don't already have Lion (which IS 10.7).

I only have 5c in my US account and want to change back to Australia, but my account needs to be 0. Anyway around this? I have no US credit card.

Ah. I understand now. I suspect it is the technical problem that the money keeps the account alive.
Go to http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - and click on Express lane followed by iTunes > iTunes store. Explain to them and see if they will help you raise a new account.
Remember, your account and means of payment must relate to the country you permanently reside in.

I have a 10.6.8 OS and want to upgrade to Mountain Lion but when I try the applications tells me my computer can't support it

I have a 10.6.8 OS and want to upgrade to Mountain Lion but when I try the applications tells me my computer can't support it. What does that mean. I have upgraded to Snow Leopard and was told (by Mac Store) that after that I would be able to update to Mountain Lion.

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
You need 10.6.8 to upgrade to Mountain Lion, but it doesn't mean that your computer is compatible. Mountain Lion is compatible with Late 2008 Aluminum or Early 2009 MacBooks. If you have an older one, you can't upgrade to Mountain Lion. Read > http://www.apple.com/osx/specs
If you can't upgrade to Mountain Lion, open  > About this Mac, and tell me what processor and memory you have got. If you have a Intel Core 2 Duo or newer processor, you can upgrade to Lion. Call Apple to purchase Lion > http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57 Make a backup of your files before upgrading and check that your apps are compatible > http://www.roaringapps.com

I have a iMac 20 intel/512 mb from 2007 .i want to instal OSX Mountain Lion, but i have a OSX 10.4.1. I need minimal OSX 10.6.8 or more! What i have to do?
Processor 2 GHz Core Duo. 2 GB 667 Mhz DDR2 .

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)
If yours is truly a Core Duo then it cannot run Mountain Lion. Snow Leopard is the latest you can install.
If you need to purchase Snow Leopard contact Customer Service: Contacting Apple for support and service. The price is $29.00 plus tax. You will receive physical media - DVD - by mail.
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.

I want to go back to Lion but It won't let me.
