Lion gone from App Store purchases?

Quick and dirty question - bought Lion from the App Store a while back, downloaded and installed it. Have since bought another machine, but when I go into the App Store, I see all my prior purchases, but no sign of Lion?

Neeeeever mind. Clicking "view hidden purchases" is your friend. (As does searching for the solution before I ask the question, dur.)

Mountain Lion downloaded from App store on 11th and 12th June will not install. Downloaded TWICE it times out after 20 secs into install. Can't get any help!!! Going around in circles!!
My Machine MacBook Pro OS 10.6.8
Processor 2.66Ghz i7,

Thanks very much for the advice. I trawled through the other answers on the site and it appears others had the same issue. I doubled the available space and the install went like clockwork... which is what one would norma;ly expect from Apple :-)
Maybe Apple should have a ' definitely read me first' notice before a download takes place with CLEAR instructions to have more than the 6GB they indicate ofr the Mountain Lion download

In case of lost internet connection during mountain lion download from app store, do i have to start over?

How do I speed this up. I have a fast internet connection but this is obviously not right.
The speed of the downlaod is dependant on the speed of your Internet connection. "I have a fast Internet connection...," doesn't actually mean anything unless you provide some numbers.
I have a cable Internet connection with 32 Mbps download speeds, but if you have DSL, you would probably be limited to 1.5 Mbps. Some would call both of these connections "fast," but obviously one is faster than the other.
What is the speed of your Internet connection?? Don't say, "fast."

OS X Server dropped from App Store Purchases list

On 17 October 2017, I received notification of an OS X Server 3.2.2 upgrade. I downloaded and installed the upgrade the same day.
After ensuring that I had a usable backup of my OS X Mavericks, I downloaded and installed OS X Yosemite today. OS X Server 3.2.2 can't be used with OS X Yosemite. When I checked for a newer version of OS X Server, I discovered that it was no longer in my Purchased list in the App Store.
On 17 October 2014, the App Store Purchases list included both Lion Server and OS X Server. After installing Yosemite, only Lion Server remains in the list.
How does one get the OS X Server update?

I have this issue as well. Already called Apple about it once, and also sent a supoprt request to the App Store helpdesk to at least be able to upgrade my client's servers still running 3.2.2 on Mavericks. So far no succes, their policy is that if you upgrade ANY mac associated with the server app to Mavericks, your license for 3.2.2 is REVOKED and any systems still running Mavericks will be unable to upgrade from 3.2.1 to 3.2.2
On my server this has caused configuration profiles to no longer function, and as long as Apple doesn't reply I guess I'm stuck paying the $20. This bothers me. I know it's supposed to be cheap software but still, the usual demographic using this software are small businesses that want to manage their own software but don't have a lot of expertise. and stuff like this can really flark up their services. Apple should at least still allow people to install version 3.2.2 on their older machines.

I need my original purchased Lion Software from app store

Why is it that Apple see fit to remove any previous purchased OS software?
What I mean is I am currently working on the latest Mountain Lion software but have taken delivery of an old white macbook which cannot upgrade to Mountain Lion... Therefore I need the original "Lion" software I purchased through the app store....a few years ago.
Surly they have no right to remove what is rightfuly yours from your purchsed software in the app store no matter what version you are running now...
Any suggestions on where I can get this from (Lion OX)
Thanks

Yes I thought that would be the case but it seems 'Easy' is always not the case regarding the app store... See what happened when I tried to download it.... - Contacting Apple as I live in the UK ....I cant see what the problem is myself... Any ideas your end?

Lion is only two years old...
Secondly, any purchases you have made within the App or iTunes Store is your copy.
If the older Macbook is on Mac OS X 10.6 or Snow Leopard, you simply go to previous purchases/purchases tab within the Mac App Store and click on download/install.

Unable to download(purchase) Lion Update from App Store

When I try to download Lion, the download sign in window appears and is populated with someone else's Apple ID. If I change the ID to mine and use my password I get 2 messages:
"We could not complete your request. There was an error in the App Store. Please try again later. (4)"
Click OK and 2nd message:
"Unknown Error"
iTunes does not exhibit this, and normal sign in to App Store shows correct ID, only the Download Authentication does this. I have been able to update other Apps just fine, this requires a purchase, and is the only difference.

Perhaps it was a display model at one time in the store and someone registered the OS in their name. I would return to the store with the Mac and show them the stranger's name that appears in the Mac App Store when you try to update Lion. Perhaps it is even an employee. Anyway, they need to set this right by you. A new Mac should not have someone else's Apple ID registered into it. That registration sent the unique identifier to Apple for this Mac and registered it to the person's Apple ID. Not cool.

I want to re-install my Pre-Installed Lion Macbook Pro, but I can't get the Lion OS from App Store with my Apple ID. Please help, thanks!

Hi, I want to do a clean re-installation of my end 2011 Macbook Pro which comes with pre-installed Lion OS. I go through the installation steps and after App Store verified my Apple ID, it prompted me that I did not purchase the Lion OS. I am very surprise to see this message which my pre-installed Lion Macbook Pro should have it. Please help and advise how can I get the OS? All other bundle softwares were in the purchase record except the Lion OS.

That was my mistake - sorry - it IS Command-R to boot to the Recovery disk, not Command-D: I either just hit the wrong key or am just now coming awake from my nap.
Let me see if I can just explain it in a few steps - I don't know of any link (but it would make a good User Tip):
Create an up-to-the minute back-up of your internal hard drive using an external hard drive and Time Machine.
Boot to your recovery partion - holding down Command-R on boot.
Use Disk Utility to erase Macintosh HD - use one GUID partition and format as "Mac OS Extended (Journaled)". Unless you're selling the machine, there's no need to do a secure erase (which can take hours).
After you erase the disk, re-install Lion from the same Recovery partition.
After installation is complete, reboot, again holding down the Command-R keys to boot into the Recovery Partition.
Restore your Time Machine back-up. This could take several hours.
Reboot after restore and you're back in business.
That should take care of everything - all you need is an Internet connection.
Call back if I didn't explain things too well - at least I got the Command-R right this time!

How do i reinstall Lion OS from App store?

I needed to reinstall a new harddrive and i only have snow leopard on my macbook pro now. i had previousy downloaded Lion from the app store but cant find it on there now. how do i re download Lion OS?

How to do a clean install of Lion download from App store

How do you do a clean install of Lion downloaded from the App store. I downloaded and it installed but never was there a time of the installation it gave me an option to do a clean install. Thanks for any help.

Install or Reinstall Lion from Scratch
If possible backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive.
Boot to the Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Erase the hard drive:
Select Disk Utility from the main menu and click on the Continue button.
After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the drive in DU's status area. If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing. SMART info will not be reported on external drives. Otherwise, click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Erase button and wait until the process has completed.
Quit DU and return to the main menu.
Reinstall Lion: Select Reinstall Lion and click on the Install button.
Note: You can also re-download the Lion installer by opening the App Store application. Hold down the OPTION key and click on the Purchases icon in the toolbar. You should now see an active Install button to the right of your Lion purchase entry. There are situations in which this will not work. For example, if you are already booted into the Lion you originally purchased with your Apple ID or if an instance of the Lion installer is located anywhere on your computer.

Very slow Mac OSX Lion download from App Store

Hi All,
I have recently purchased Mac OSX Lion (3 days ago) on App Store (Malaysia). The download is extremely slow and
I am not sure if there could be any other problem contributing to this issue.
Currently I have only completed about 1.61GB out of 3.74GB after 3 days. But, it was not a continuous download but
rather stop and resume every 3 hours. My internet connection speed as I checked on speedtest.net was 4Mbps.
The time left to complete the download is shown as 2 days and 20 hours. I think it's not sensible to have such a
long time to complete the download with an available connection speed of 4Mbps.
Any solutions for this problem ?

Thank you for keeping the thread alive.
Now I'm experiencing better download speeds with remaining time of (7 hours and a few minutes).
The connection speed I have is about 5Mbps.
I would suggest anyone with download speed issues to follow several maintanence tips (if not all) from here :

It may not seem worthy or the "solution for the problem" but it has certainly made the difference for me.

Downloading Mountain Lion upgrade from App Store failed

I'm upgrading my wife's iMac from Snow Leopard 10.6.8 to Mountain Lion. Just tried to download the Mountain Lion upgrade from the App Store. I paid for it, clicked on the download, the little icon did it's fancy leap down to the application bar at the bottom of the page, and the item in the app store said it was downloading as well as the white bar beneath the icon in the app bar at the bottom of the screen. Nothing happened. I left the computer and came back about ten minutes later. The app store had crashed. Rebooted it. Tried the download process again. Same result.
I paid about $20 for the system software upgrade so I would like, if possible, to use the app store item if I can. Is there a solution without a trip to the Apple Store to buy the system upgrade?
John Kendrick

Quit the App Store if it's open.
Open the Finder. From the Finder menu bar top of your screen click Go > Go to Folder
Type this exactly as you see it here:
/Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration
Click Go
Move the NetworkInterfaces.plist file from the SystemConfiguration folder to the Trash.
Relaunch the App Store and try downloading Mountain Lion.

Lightroom 4.4 upgrade from App Store purchase

I've just bought Lightroom 4.3 from Apple's App store.
I downloaded the 4.4 installer and ran it but my version stays at 4.3.
Is this because I bought it through the App Store? Do I have to wait for the App Store version to be updated?
If not, can someone provide insight into why my version would remain un-updated after running the 4.4 installer?
Thanks!

I had the same issue. Just FYI, the version 4.4 update is now available in the App Store.
