Installed Lion from AppStore-looks like running Leopard & Lion-wierd

I installed Lion from the AppStore- by all accounts- it's running Lion. Yet when my machine is turned off and powered back on, the Snow Leopard appears and I lose Lion background. I have a suspiscion it is running both somehow because my computer is popping up with windows that say my start up disk is full and that I need to delete files.
Do i need to uninstall Leopard and how do you do that? or uninstall Lion and reinstall? if so, how do you that?
And if anyone knows how do deal with the start up disk issue, it would be greatly appreciated.
These are instaled on a MacBookPro 2.4 Intel 2
Thanks,
J

You say "by all accounts" ... please check, by going to the Apple menu, clicking About This Mac, and checking what is written under "OS X". (10.6.8? 10.7.4?)
But deal with the drive space first, since, if you don't have enough, any software updates are unlikely to work correctly, and your system may fail. I'd advise you run Omnidisksweeper which will tell you where your largest files and folders are. Move any user files to an external hard drive, or delete any large files/folders you don't need any more. (Don't delete any system folders such as System, Library, /etc or /var ! You can, however, delete unneeded printer definitions from the /Library/Printers folder, and delete Garageband/iDVD templates from /Library/Application Support, if you don't use those programs.) Check your Downloads folder, as this can fill up. Empty your Trash.

  • After install of Mavericks, it looks like my system kernal panics and just sits there. I tried waiting over two nights. Tried reinstalling twice, booting r/s. Recovery partition now has Mavericks as OS. Im running a iMac i3 27 inch circa 2011. Any ideas?

    After install of Mavericks, it looks like my system kernal panics and just sits there. I tried waiting over two nights. Tried reinstalling twice, booting ro the repair partition and repairs permissions/drive/verify , with no problems. Tried reseting PVRAM(or whateverit called). Recovery partition now has Mavericks as OS. Im running a iMac i3 27 inch circa 2011. Any ideas? Can still bootcamp into windows.
    Thank you

    The file seems to create the CD/DVD/Image and USB just fine. So I used this only to create a CD image which I then wrote on a blank CD which seems to work fine. Also, I played around a bit and had some partial success in booting the partition. I've updated my original opening post with the new findings.
    Whew!! what a waste of time! Never want to do all of this again .

  • Install Xcode from Appstore. Shows "Installing. 3 minutes remaining."

    Hi,
    Trying to install Xcode (for iOS 7) from Appstore.
    Latest Mac OS X also is installed. Only Xcode shows "Installing. 3 minutes remaining."
    From then on, nothing happens.
    Any help please?

    I'd quit the Mac App Store then look in /Applications to see if there is a file called Xcode. If so drag it to the trash then reboot and try loading it again.
    Post back if you still have the problem.
    regards

  • Export from AVCHD looks like THIS: (image embedded) I've tried EVERYTHING

    I'm using a Sony HDR-XR500V and importing using Apple Inter. Codec 1920x1080i60 in log and transfer and in "Canvas" in FCE, it looks GREAT, the motion is perfect.
    However, no matter how I export (this was Export with Quicktime, uncompressed, size 1920x1080, but I've tried EVERYTHING) it looks like this. In Quicktime, I can hit "de-interlace" but it ghosts instead. I've tried de-interlace in exporting too.
    In the original AVCHD files, and in Canvas on FCE, I can read the writing on everything, and I have not yet been able to export in any format where I can read the writing on the stones.
    The exported files look like this on my PC as well... HELP!
    PS... this was an image export from QT.

    Well, as I said, it's not like that in the original AVCHD files, nor is it like that in the Canvas on FCE, so what do you mean when you say "That's the way the material is shot."?
    I'm exporting my edited project to a file so I can stream it to my Sony Bravia TV in 1080.

    Enable Finder to Show Invisible Files and Folders
    Open the Terminal application in your Utilities folder.  At the prompt enter or paste the following command line then press RETURN.
    defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles TRUE
    killall Finder
    To turn off the display of invisible files and folders enter or paste the following command line and press RETURN.
    defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles FALSE
    killall Finder
    Alternatively you can use one of the numerous third-party utilities such as TinkerTool or ShowHideInvisibleFiles - VersionTracker or MacUpdate.

  • App downloaded from appstore not like tested

    this is a thing that is scaring me very much...really need help...
    i have an app tested through xcode installing in many devices (iphone3g, iphone4, iphone4s, ipod touch4)
    installed with testflight in the same devices with no problems, all worked well.
    i have now this app in appstore.
    i have downloaded from there and sprites of the character are like ghosts. i'll upload an image.
    to make the sprites i use Texture2D class from apple. the image is black and white so i thought to use cgimagemask to create textures:
    - (Texture2D*)textureMaskWithFileName:(NSString*)aName filter:(GLenum)aFilter {
        // Try to get a texture from cachedTextures with the supplied key.

        // This can lead to memory issue as we do not have direct control over when it would be released.  Not using
        // imageNamed means that it is not cached by the OS and we have control over when it is released.
        NSString *filename = [aName stringByDeletingPathExtension];

  • Installing App from Appstore without Password?

    Last night, my nine year-old "nephew" (the son of a close friend) asked to install a game from the App Store. His mother wasn't keen on letting him play it, so I refused to key in the password. He said he would just "hack" it instead -- my mistake. I watched as he went to Settings -> General -> Network -> VPN ... and then I got lost. He typed in some numeric sequence, went back to the Appstore, and then proceeded to download the app. I asked him how he did it, but he clammed up. I told him no more iPad until I figure it out. It has been bugging me all night.
    Today, I talked with his mother, who uses an iPhone 4, and reminded her that they share an OS. She talked with him about it, and he finally admitted that he had used the same hack on her phone. Eventually, he decided he "wanted to talk" (yes, I know -- this sounds so, well, weird) and gave her a number, either 370519 or 397051, which somehow he enters into the VPN area. I'm still in the dark how it works exactly, but I'm wondering if this is a known route around the Appstore password restrictions. Has anyone seen such a hack?

    Just change your Apple ID password.
