Is there any way for downloading LION without recovery tool? macbook air (mid 2011) ?

I recently bought a macbook air(mid 2011) and I am using ADSL internet services which needs couple of hours to complete downloading of LION. but when I come back to see what happened few hours after download started, I found myself in Lion Recovery startiting page !
seems that I am in a endless loop !!
In addition, Its not possible to download it from app store, since it shows that the application has beed installed already. is there any suggestion ?
I guess I should first download it using speed download and then install it !

Have you tried holding the Option key down and then clicking on "Purchases" in the App Store interface? If this works, then you'll see "Install" instead of "Installed" against Lion. Download Lion then -- it will go to your Applications folder -- and do not give your password for installation to execute. You should then have the full Lion installation package in your Applications folder. With "Show Package Contents", in "Shared Support" find InstallESD.dmg. If you burn that to a blank DVD you'll have a Lion Install disc. But since you have a MacBook Air, you could use a (not less than 8 GB capacity) pen drive to store the installation without having to do the full download every time.

  • Any way to download IOS7 without needing 3.7GB free space?

    I'm currently using an iPhone 4 that has just 1.1GB free space. I want to download IOS7, but I can't as it says it requires 3.7GB free space.
    I previously tried doing it when I plugged into iTunes, and I clicked update on the computer. However this didn't wory and sent me into recovery mode, meaning I nearly lost all my data. What did I do wrong? Was it because of my lack of space?
    How much room does IOS7 actually take up once downloaded?
    Is there any way to download IOS7 without having to delete all my stuff?
    Thanks.

    Based on what I see here (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPhone), I believe that the 3,1 is the one you want. I think the 3,2 was for China.

    The latest iTunes software wiped out my apps for my 2G iPod Touch by overwriting newer releases of the apps which are not compatible with iOS 4.2.1.  I tried to restore the iPod to an earlier version without success.  Is there any way to download older versions of my apps which are compatible with my older iPod?

    Your only way is if you have the version that was compatible on your computer such as in the recycle bin/trash or in a computer file backup. In that case delete the current version that is in your iTunes App library and replace it with the older version. Then sync.

As I didn't have access to a pc it wouldn't work is there any way to do this without a pc?  I was without this app for 3 weeks!  Thanks, Lea

    The process to update your Tom Tom is a big data file, you will need to be connected to a Wi-Fi network for it to download.  If will take about an hour.

    Or if you purchased Pages as part of iWork on a disk, reinstall from the same disk.

  • Is there any way to download muse cc for windows xp?

    Hello, I want to install muse on the computer running on windows xp. Is there any way to download muse cc not muse cc2014?

    While the current version (Adobe Muse CC 2014.0.1) requires 64-bit Windows 7, or later, subscribers can download and use Adobe Muse CC version 7.4 for work on 32-bit hardware or older Windows versions.
         http://labsdownload.adobe.com/pub/adobemuse/builds/muse_7-4_update_mac.dmg
         http://labsdownload.adobe.com/pub/adobemuse/builds/muse_7-4_update_win.exe
    Notes:
    There are no plans for additional updates compatible with 32-bit hardware or Windows versions older than Windows 7.
    The availability of support for Muse 7.4 will diminish over time.
    A file saved in Muse 2014 cannot be opened in Muse 7.4. (But a file from Muse 7.4 can be opened using Muse 2014, or later.)
    The Creative Cloud desktop application will not be aware of installation of Muse 7.4 when the installers above are used. Therefore Muse will not appear as "Installed" in the list of CC apps.

    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
    Keynote '09 is compatible with your computer, but you won't get the latest Keynote version running that version. As you have an Early 2008 MacBook, first I recommend you to update to Mac OS X Snow Leopard to get newer versions of all applications but without losing any applications > http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard Make a backup before upgrading.
    The DVD contains Mac OS X 10.6.3, so after upgrading, open  > Software Update to update to 10.6.8. Then, you will get access to the App Store.
    However, the Keynote version available in the App Store is only compatible with OS X 10.7.5 or newer, so now you have two options:
    1. Upgrade to OS X Lion and purchase Keynote from the App Store.
    2. Keep Mac OS X Leopard or Snow Leopard, and buy Keynote on a DVD in eBay or Amazon. Note that you won't be running the most recent Keynote version, but it doesn't mind (the latest version only adds iCloud support)

  • I accidentally formatted my portable hard drive when setting it up for time machine. Is there any way for me to get back my lost files?

    I have an external hard drive of the brand Western Digital.
    Before I got my iMac I moved a lot of my important files from my PC to the hard drive and today I went on and connected it to my iMac to move my files over to it.
    When it had connected a window popped up that asked if I wanted to use this hard drive with the program Time Machine and create backups. Without thinking it trough enough and reading the warning properly (I'm stupid I know) I clicked "yes". I then realised how stupid it was and cancelled the formatting of the hard drive. But somehow the program still managed to delete all my important files and can't find any way to get them back. Neither can I connect the hard drive to my PC anymore so I can't check if the files are still there (which I doubt they are since I can't see them on my iMac either).
    And now I wonder: is there any way for me to get back my lost files or are they lost forever?
    Thank you in advance!

    A data recovery specialist or some data recovery programs should be able to help.  Most format simply rewrite the directory tree saying no files are on this disk.  The bits that represent the files are still flipped appropreiately so they still exists, you just don't have the location info to get at them.  Secure formats and erases rewrite each bit to a zero or 1 or random so the data is then truely gone.  This type of format takes a long time to complete.
    I'm not making a recomendation of a particular program but here is one company that does what you ask:
    http://www.remosoftware.com/mac-recovery  The cost is pretty high but I'm sure they don't sell many copies and need to cover their development costs.
    Good luck and don't write anything on the freshly formatted disk until you decide what to do.

    Is there any way for me to get my music off of my iPod? I had to get a new computer and no longer have my files, most of it is cds...

    Your iPod can only be synced with one computer at a time.  If you try to sync it with a new computer/iTunes library, it will replace the contents of the iPod with whatever is in the new library. You should probably disable the autosync functionality first by going to Edit -> Preferences, clicking the Devices tab, and enabling the prevent iPods,iPhones, and iPads from automatically syncing option.
    Before doing anything else,  authorize the new computer with your iTunes Account.  In iTunes, choose Store -> Authorize This Computer and enter in the correct credentials. Either copy a backup file from your old computer to your new one or create a new backup of your iPod in iTunes before letting it sync.
    Then right->click on your iPod Touch from under the Devices section in the left hand pane of iTunes and choose Backup. You might also want to take a look at this article to see what it all included in the backup.
    iOS: How to back up
    Now onto synced content such as music, videos, photos, etc.  For iTunes purchases you can copy them back into iTunes by choosing File -> Transfer Purchases.  For all other nonpurchased iTunes content, see this excellent user tip from another forum member turingtest2 outlining the different methods and software available to help you copy content from your iPod back to your PC and into iTunes.
    Recovering your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device
    Once the backup has been made and all other synced content such as music, videos, and photos are back in your iTunes library, restore your iPod from that backup you made earlier.  Here is more on backing up and restoring your iPod.
    iTunes: Backing up, updating, and restoring iOS software
    If you do happen to lose any purchased content, you can always redownload it from the iTunes Store again at no cost via iCloud.  See this article for information.

  • Help! I reinstalled my Mac and erased my iWeb page in the program.Its published, is there any way to download the pages from Mobile Me?

    Help! I reinstalled my Mac and erased my iWeb page in the program.Its published, is there any way to download the pages from Mobile Me?

    To download your pages from MobileMe simply mount your iDisk.
    Then navigate to the Web > Sites folder where the pages are.
    You can't do anything with them however, since iWeb cannot import them. But it's nice to know that you can download them.
    You need the domain.sites2 files, iWeb uses to store its assets. Perhaps you have a backup?
    See this page for pictures and movies to learn how to use the domain file :

  • Is there any way for me to get a 5th generation ipod touch 16gb with both cameras?

    i really wanna get an ipod touch 5th generation but i also want the forward and out facing cameras, and for me $200 is already kind of expensive for me, let alone $300, is there any way for me to get an ipod 5th gen without the extra $100?

    Like JEM24 said, Certified Refurbished is an Apple item which has been used but been checked over and (if necessary) repaired.
    Also, the iPod Touch 4th Generation is 3 years old and cannot get iOS 7 - meaning some apps can't run on it.
    Once again, here is the certified refurbished link: http://store.apple.com/us/browse/home/specialdeals/ipod/ipod_touch

  • Is there any way for my ipad to piggyback the internet from my iphone when i am not in a wifi area... The guy at the ATT

    Is there any way for my ipad to piggyback the internet from my iphone without having to purchase a "plan" from ATT&T....The guy at the store said that I had to purchase a new plan with "so much" GB per month and loose my unlimited amount that I am grandfathered into with my current plan... any thoughts?

    Unfortuneatly, you would have to give up your unlimited plan. In the US you would have to get the 2GB plan for $25 and add the teathering plan for $20 more.  The teathering plan would give you another 2GB of data for a total 4GB.
