It's stable enough for Apple to be shipping all new MacBook Pros with Lion installed.

    many thanks Carl.

    You must boot from another drive in order to erase the system drive.
    Try starting up with Snow Leopard DVD inserted and C depress. That should get you booted from the DVD. Then start Disk Utitlity from DVD and erase the disk then you should be able to install Snow Leopard.
    Remember that everything will be removed from the disk when you erase it and install Snow Leopard so backup first.

  • My wifi is very slow after installing mountain lion on my Mac book pro

    My wifi is very very slow after installing mountain lion on my MacBook pro.
    What can I do?

    Ha  ha, I misread that as "My wife is very slow after installing mountain lion on my Mac book pro"
    BTW on my MBPro (late 2009 with max RAM) Mountain Lion runs very well with no slowing down.

    Yes.
    Upgrading to Snow Leopard, Lion, or Mountain Lion
    Upgrading to Snow Leopard
    You can purchase Snow Leopard by contacting Customer Service: Contacting Apple for support and service - this includes international calling numbers. The price is $19.99 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.
    Before upgrading check that you computer meets the minimum requirements:
    Snow Leopard General requirements
      1. Mac computer with an Intel processor
      2. 1GB of memory
      3. 5GB of available disk space

    First, you need to upgrade to Snow Leopard 10.6.8 as stated above.
    You can purchase Lion by contacting Customer Service: Contacting Apple for support and service - this includes international calling numbers. The cost is $19.99 (as it was before) plus tax.  It's a download. You will get an email containing a redemption code that you then use at the Mac App Store to download Lion. Save a copy of that installer to your Downloads folder because the installer deletes itself at the end of the installation.

  • I downloaded Mountain Lion on my Mac Book Pro but when I go to install it, it says "OS X cannot be installed on Lion."   Any advice?

    I downloaded Mountain Lion on my Mac Book Pro but when I go to install it, it says "OS X cannot be installed on Lion."   Any advice?

    Right-Click the "Install OS X Mountain Lion" installer under /Applications and select Show Package Contents and drill down through the folders; Contents/SharedSupport.  Drag the InstallESD.dmg file to your desktop.  Grab an 8GB USB stick as the file is 4.35GB's and might not fit on a 4GB USB stick.  Then mount the DMG by double-clicking it and stick your 8GB USB stick in and that will mount then you can use Disk Utility to restore the DMG to the 8GB USB stick.  Then shutdown and reboot while holding the Option key and select the USB drive.  See if that will let you install Mountain Lion. 
    One more thing, you have to format the USB Stick first and ensure it's set to GUID mode (under Partition tab Options button) or it won't boot.

  • Instal Mountain Lion on a mac book pro from october of 2008

    Is it advisable to install mountain lion on my mac book pro, bought in october of 2008 (first generation aluminum body), or will it not work/work very slow?
    An search on the internet gives different outcomes..
    thank you!

    The date of purchase is not a reliable indicator that your Mac Book Pro meets the requirements for Mountain Lion.
    Check out exact technical informaitons for supported models here:
    http://www.apple.com/osx/specs/
    Even if your computer meets the requirements for Mountain Lion doesn't necessarily mean it's advisable to do so. For example, if you rely on applications that are not compatible with Mountain Lion.

  • Installed Mountain lion on my Mac book pro. Now My IRONKEY flash drive is not launching.

    Installed Mountain lion on my Mac book pro late 2011. After that my IRONKEY flash drive is not launching. Before it was launching OK.The flash drive has updated software.

    You have some other problem with your boot drive that has corrupted data backed up to the TimeMacine drive.
    My advice is to boot into each operating system and manually backup just your Users files each to separate regular external drives (no Timemachine or backup software) and disconnect.
    Make a note of any serial numbers, emails, address book contacts, export bookmarks etc. that isn't typically in your users folders data.
    You might be able to Winclone 3 the Windows as a whole thing as it's appearing not to have issues but it's your MacintoshHD partition that is so that will have to be rebuilt from scratch.
    Most commonly used backup methods
    If your OS X parititon doesn't boot, you can use this to recover files.
    Create a data recovery/undelete external boot drive
    Without any further detail about your machine I can't advise specifically what to do, but it involves using Disk Utility to Zero Erase (move slider one spot to the right or in 10.6 using Security Option) the ENTIRE boot drive and reformatting, then installing OSX fresh and then setting up BootCamp again.
    If you wish to switch your boot drive for something better, this is a good time to do this.
    Install/upgrade RAM or storage drive in Mac's
    If your machine is capable of Internet Recovery, then use that, then upgrade.
    If your machine came with 10.6 or earlier, then use the 10.6 install disks and work up from there.
    Erase, formatting, OS X installs on Mac's

  • How can I get a copy of mountain lion for my mac book pro on which I already have mountain lion 10.8.2 installed

    I have a MacBookPro which came installed with Mountain  Lion10.8.2.
    My Mac Book pro does not boot, not even in safe mode. It boots in Recovery Mode, and I tried to reinstall it and it says downloading and it shows that it will take 258 hours. I cannot wait 258 hours, is there any other way
    2. My brother got me this Mac between December 2012 - January 2013 from Australia, I live in  India, How do I find out if I am in warranty. Can I call any number. I have an Apple ID with me which I just created and I have the serial number with me but I do not know the exact date of purchase.
    Where can I download or purchase a copy of Mountain Lion? is there any other site other than Apple?
    How good is Maverick, Can I upgrade from Mountain Lion 10.8.2 to Mavericks. The local service center did not bother to verify the warranty and told me to pay 2000 rupees. I thought the warranty to be worldwide, apparently not, any suggestions.
    If I have no warranty I would still want a DVD of Mountain Lion since I can do the install myself and do not need to pay 2000 for installation. There is no data to backup. I would really appreciate any help here.
    Regards

    You can go to the Apple online store and purcahse a copy of Mountain Lion.  This will give you a redemption code, which you can use to download Mountain Lion from the App Store.  Unfortuantely, I'm not aware of any other way to legally purchase it.  I have never seen Apple release Muontain Lion on DVD.
    In terms of Apple Service, they just need the serial number of the machine to check the purcahse date.  It is usually correct, to within a few weeks.  A quick Google search should give you the correct number to dial.
    I hope this helps.

  • I downloaded lion now my mac book pro has frozen can't get into my mac book, why?

    why can't I get into my mac book pro now thatI have installed Lion, just have a screen with my name in the middle with a nice picture of an eagle. I have had no trouble with my desktop, it loaded fine, don<><.

    Hi Donald.
    Okay, your problem is most probably due to automatic graphics switching. Since you can't login, the only way I see is by starting Lion in safe mode. You will be able to login. Then disable Automatic Graphics Switching in the Energy / Power settings of System Preferences. The exact name of the setting may differ depending on your MacBook and hardware.
    Regards.

  • Will Photoshop CS6 work with Snow Leopard or must I upgrade to Mountain Lion on the Mac Book Pro?

    I will be purchasing PhotoShop CS6 & installing on my Mac Book Pro. Adobe tells me that I should upgrade to Mountain Lion from Snow Leopard in order for it to work best. Any thoughts on this? Thank you, Paul

    You can use it on Snow Leopard without any problem. However, Apple updates graphic drivers and more things, so it could run better on Mountain Lion, but as I said, if you don't want to upgrade, keep on Snow Leopard because it will run properly.
    Probably, Adobe is referring to the fact that Photoshop could be working in 32-bit because the kernel on Snow Leopard starts into 32-bit by default, and Mountain Lion is a 64-bit operating system. In this case, you will see an improvement

  • Hello to all. I'm not an expert in operating systems, and I pose this question: Can I upgrade from 10.6.8 to Mountain Lion on a Mac Book Pro

    Hello to all. I'm not an expert in operating systems, and I pose this question: Can I upgrade from 10.6.8 to Mountain Lion on a Mac Book Pro

    That depends on the Macbook Pro.The requirements for Mountain Lion are listed here:
    http://www.apple.com/osx/specs/
    It is available from the Mac App Store (in Applications).
    You should be aware that PPC programs (such as AppleWorks) will not run on Lion or above; and some other applications may not be compatible - there is a useful compatibility checklist at http://roaringapps.com/apps:table

  • Does mountain lion come with Mac Book Pro

    I just purchased a Mac Book Pro with retina display 10.8.2 but when I go to the app store it says I need to pay 19,99 for a copy how do I get a copy of mountain lion to keep just in case I need to rebuild the PC

    As you stated, your new MacBook Pro came with Mountain Lion pre-installed.  The pre-install version is not the same as the version in the Mac App Store, so if you want a copy from the App store, you need to buy it.
    Before you get all excited, your new MacBook Pro has a feature called "Internet Recovery".  If you should need to restore your machine (say for example you want to replace your hard drive for some reason), you just put in the new drive, and hold down the option key when you hear the boot chime.  It should being up a lit of possible boot options, and near the bottom of the list should be an option for a "Network Boot".  Is you select that, your MacBook Pro will connect to the Apple servers, and download the correct version of the OS for your machine.  How long it takes will depend upon your internet connection, and the time when you are performing the recovery.  If you try it during an iOS major update, it is likely the Apple servers will be slow and it may take a while, but if you try at a more normal time, it may finish the download (about 4.7GB) in under 2 hours, depending upon your internet connection.  Keep in mind that if you have a local Apple Store, you can go there and use their wifi network to perform the download process...
