Is It safe to download Lion free and install Lion os x on  my IBook G4

I have an IBook G4 running 10.5.8 os x. I found a free version of Lion on line. Can I safely do this upgrade?

No. All of the Apple updates you can install will be listed in the Software Update pane of System Preferences.

  • Is it safe to download a "free" youtube video converter for MAC and if so, which one is recommended?

    Is it safe to download a "free" Youtube video converter (Ex. "freemake.com") for MAC or is there a better program recommended to convert these videos to DVD?  Thanks!

    Youtube's ToU specifically state that downloads of any content is prohibited unless there is a download button available for a particular video.

  • 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

  • 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!

  • Hey guyz.. i wanna ask if i get an updated version from itunes when i plug my iPhone into the Pc, i get a letter tells me that there is an update for your iPhone ... i wanna ask is it safe to download ?? and does it make any side effects on longTerm using

    hey guyz.. i wanna ask if i get an updated version from itunes when i plug my iPhone into the Pc, i get a letter tells me that there is an update for your iPhone ... i wanna ask is it safe to download ?? and does it make any side effects on longTerm using ??

    It is safe to download if your phone is not jailbroken. Before you download it, however, take some precautions:
    Reboot your computer
    Disable your antivirus and firewall
    Connect the phone cable to a USB port directly on the computer, not a hub
    Before updating right click on the name of the phone in iTunes and choose "Backup"
    When you are given the choice choose "Download only", not "Download and Update"
    After the download completes successfully click the Update button to install it.
    Most of these steps are just being overly cautious, as most people ignore them and have no problems. But occasionally the extra steps save grief.

  • Downloading and installing Lion on a partion on iMac 2013 with Mountain Lion.

    Hi ,
    I have just partitioned my iMac 2013 thinking i would install my previously purchased Lion on the partiton. When i go to App Store to download the OS X Lion, it says " We could not complete your purchase.  This version of Mac OSX 10.7  cannnot be installed on this computer." It does not even let me download Lion installer. Can anybody please provides some insight to download the isntaller and install on a separate partition.  I am not understanding if it is telling me that the hardware of this iMac does not support Lion or if it cannot install because i already have a higher version of OS X installed on this machine?
    Thanks in advance.

    It's not possible to set it up without downloading it from a computer compatible with it.

    You are having this problem because you are trying to use an existing Apple ID. There is a process, that if you follow and create a new Apple ID with an iTunes/Mac App Store account, you can create the account without a bank card.

    Hi there Bry,
    If you want to be able with out it syncing automatically, you can disable the automatic syncing feature following the instructions in the article below.

    I purchased and installed Lion on my iMac. How do I install it on my MacBook without paying for it again?

    You'll have to download again.  You will not be charged if you use the same Apple ID.
    Save the file somewhere before installing.

  • I have snow leopard with bootcamp what will happen if I create a new partition and install Lion

    query as subject line - I was planning to create a new partition using disk utility and installing lion on that - I am aware Lion will Create a recovery partition in addition - so is it possible to have Snow with it's Bootcamp and Lion with it's recovery on my imac purchased jan 2012?
    Subsequent question although I purchased Lion from the mac store can I jump straight to Mountain Lion (if I purchase it) from Snow leopard?

    If you plan to create a third partition, then you will lose control over your Boot Camp partition and ability to boot Windows. You cannot have three partitions as you desire.
    You can upgrade the Snow Leopard system to Lion or Mountain Lion. You can obtain another HDD and install Lion or Mountain Lion on the external drive.
    Yes, you can purchase and download Mountain Lion to upgrade the Snow Leopard system.

  • Question about setting a web clip in Apple Configurator, to by-pass touching Free and Install App.

    Hello.
    I'm using Apple Configurator, and have a web clip linked to iTunes Preview webpage for an app.
    On the iTunes Preview page, you can touch Free, then Install App.
    Am I able to by-pass touching Free and Install App?
    That way, the end user touches the icon, and it directs them to Sign In using Existing or Create ID.
    I hope this makes sense.
    Thank you,
    Jeremy

    Hi,
    You can only enter one code per iTunes account for the same app. So if you were not to use Configurator, you would enter one code into iTunes and sync the all the iPads to that iTunes account manually keeping track of your codes for any audit purposes. You could create a backup and restore to each of the iPads. I use encrypted backup. I have only used Configurator at this time to update iOS, it works very well for that and cuts down on update time greatly. I am leery of configurator with VPP because of all of the issues posted. I would have used VPP/Configurator exactly as you had stated.
    I thought from your post you were able to get all of your apps loaded except for the two that were greyed out. I was curious if you would be able to go into the App store on the one iPad that did not get the two apps because they were grayed out and sign in to the apple ID where those two apps resided ( the iTunes account you used for Configurator) and download them. I am not sure if once you associate an iTunes account to Configurator if that marks the paid apps in itunes so they can not be used. I think that it would not.
    I would also call the Apple Store support for Education. They may be able to help and or they will know your area rep.
    Good luck, Please post your outcome, I am sure there are many who would benefit.
