Lion Internet Recovery does not work

Lion Internet recovery appears to be broken...
On my 27" i5 QC 2010 iMac when to receover via Internet I am unable to do so  I tried it using wired networking first and then wireless, same lack of results on both.
I succesfully identify myself with my Apple ID at which point I'm told that changes have been made to license terms and I need to agree to them... no problem, I click on OK to view and agree... nothing happens. No new pop-up allowing me to click on 'agree', eventually the install disk selection un-greys itself and when I click on 'install' I have to got through the same circle of identifying myself and being asked to agree to never appearing new license terms...
Brialliant, yet another Apple failure. My time is money and I did not want to go through the process of re-installing SL, bringing it up to date and then going through AppStore Lion installation... I sure hope I do not get charged another half dozen times for a product I already purchased (like it happened when I initially installed Lion).
Anybody else encounter the same recovery problem? Solutions?

It looks like somebody else did run into the same Apple problem and found the solution...
https://discussions.apple.com/message/15829120#15829120
The solution is to go to AppStore on another computer and login with your AppleID. You must then agree to their new terms & conditions. The only way I knew how to do that was to try and install one of the free apps whereupon I was asked for the agreement.
My iMac is now happily downloading the install...

  • I have a macbook pro with no OS, original install discs and internet recovery is not working.  Can I purchase an OS (like snow leopard) and install that onto macbook?

    I have recently purchased a macbook pro 2011 that does not have original install discs.  The macbook does not currently have an OS and internet recovery does not work.  Am I able to purchase an OS like Snow Leopard that actually has a disc and install it onto this macbook?

    Does your Mac meet the hardware specs for Snow Leopard?

  • Internet connection does not work when Macbook wakes up from sleep

    I recently installed MAC OSX LION. After that whenever the macbook pro wakes up from sleep, the internet connection does not work. I get a message 'DNS lookup failed'. I have to Turn off the WIFI and turn it back on every time. Has anyone come across this?

    Same problem here. But I am afraid it has nothing to do with Safari because I don't even have Safari open. When it wakes from sleep, it has no internet connection and i cannot get me mail unless I shut wifi off and then back on. This happened back at the start of Snow Leopard too and it was something Apple eventually fixed.

  • After upgrading to Lion Image Capture does not work, even though it is intel software.  Gives error 9931.  What gives?

    Ouch, if it is indeed damaged, then sadly you need to restore the whole danged huge OS!
    Didn't used to be this way before Lion/10.7.
    Bootup holding CMD+r, or the Option/alt key to boot from the Restore partition & use Disk Utility from there to Repair the Disk, then Repair Permissions.
    If that doesn't help Reinstall the OS.

  • Have just down loaded Yosemite over Mountain Lion, Indesign CS5 does not work ( Am dependant on it) although Bridge , Light Room and Elements operate OK How do I solve this rapidly. Can any one help on this issue. Thanks

    Have just down loaded Yosemite over Mountain Lion, Indesign CS5 does not work ( Am dependant on it) although Bridge , Light Room and Elements operate OK How do I solve this rapidly. Can any one help on this issue. Thanks

    Sorry to say it, but I think you can see from Bob's response that there's no way to solve this rapidly.
    Did you take an image of your Mountain Lion install before upgrading to Yosemite? Roll back to that. If you're not in the habit of taking a snapshot of your system before performing operating system upgrades - get in that habit. If you are dependent on anything at all on hour computer, having a reliable backup method in place is essential. If you don't have a Time Capsule, or some other way to run Time Machine onto a disk that's not in your computer, go set that up yesterday.
    If you can't just remove Yosemite and roll back to Mountain Lion for whatever reason, you can partition your drive so that you can install both Yosemite and Mountain Lion on the same drive, and then boot into Mountain Lion when you need to work in CS5. Or you can take your Mountain Lion disc (I assume you have one, no?) and then use it to create a virtual machine in something like VirtualBox to run Mountain Lion from inside Yosemite.

  • Air 2.7 and MacOs Lion: iPhone packager does not work

    hi. After upgrading from Snow Leopard to Lion the iPhone packager does not work. It throws an error concerning the Application Version Number. Is this a Know bug? Is there a work- around?  Thanks.  Michael.

    Yeah sorry, the start of my descriptor looks like this:
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" standalone="yes"?>
    <application xmlns="http://ns.adobe.com/air/application/2.7">
      <id></id>
      <versionNumber></versionNumber>
      <filename>d</filename>
      <description/>
      <name></name>
    When I go to compile the app the compiler inserts that line into my descriptor at the very bottom (just before the application tag closes). It's weird, I tried setting the <application xmlns="http://ns.adobe.com/air/application/2.7"> back to 2.6 and it works and seems to compile in 2.7 (as I noticed the timer bug).
    Anyway, I only tried 2.7 because I heard the GPU fullscreen bug had been fixed, but given that the timer issue still remains I'll go back to 2.6 for the time being.
    Thanks

  • After Lion upgrade, camera does not work on internet services like facebook

    After upgrading to Lion, the onboard camera no longer works with internet sites like Facebook.
    I tried this with Safari and Google Chrome with the same lack of results.
    You will select take photo in Facebook and the next screen is locked up. This failure occurred on two separat Macbooks.
    Yet this does not happen with my Macbooks with Snow Leapord - I tried.
    Any ideas on how to fix this.
    Lion appears to be the first Windows like Mac operating system (glitchy). Not ready for primetime. Is this an omen of what Apple without Jobs will be like (again).
    My second computer to be upgraded had conflicts with certain start-up programs that had the effect of locking out the Internet connection.
    I had to manually delete these programs to get Internet to work.

    Seeing the same issue on a C2D Macbook, camera worked fine yesterday afternoon using GTalk.  Upgraded to Lion last night now the camera no longer shows up in any of the utilities that used to be able to see it.  Don't buy the "Must be a hardware problem" too wide spread for it to not be software related.

  • Osx recovery does not work

    Hi, my problem is I messed up some boot records on my MBP Retina, Mavericks and now I cannot boot.
    I see a folder with question mark. As I try to log into recovry partition ( Cmd + R, R) I go immediately into internet recovery mode.
    I tried to do disk repair with First Aid, then disck repair steps, I get - The disk is ok message, but when I try to reboot, I get the same flashing folder thing. Then Safe boot is not available - pressing Shift key I get again flashin folder.
    Boot manager not available - pressin Option I get FF again:(
    Then I wanted to do a reinstall from internet recovery. There I am offered to reinstall a version of Mountain Lion, but because there is Maveriks already on the hard drive I get a message like -You cannot upgrade this disk because there is newer software installed!!!
    This is just ********, now I will have to eraise and loose tons of my work:(
    Is there anything I can do? And yes, I have no CD in this model.

    So much for #great# recovery tools:(
    Yep. It appears so.
    The recovery tools work great as long as one doesn't "bork" the Recovery HD partition. Also, using the OS X Recovery Disk Assistant creates the Recovery HD of your OS onto a USB thumb drive so you can use that in an emergency.
    But, before you give up.... do you have any friends or family who are running OS X Mavericks? If so, have them download the OS X Recovery Disk Assistant and create a USB thumb drive with the Mavericks Recovery HD on it. Then, you can boot off that and reinstall OS X Mavericks to your Mac. All this will do is reinstall the OS without touching your apps or data.

  • Non-apple keyboard and aperture recovery does not work

    Hello all, I use a mac mini with a non-apple keyboard and I am trying to recover my Aperture database, however, although the alt and command key work in all applications, the combination does not start up Aperture in recovery mode. Anyone any ideas? Thanks.

    Hi,
         Your migration to Lion brought over a previous hot key preferences document. And this contains one bad key that wasn't updated.
    - Quit System Preferences (if open)
    - Delete this document to remove a carry-over mapping error.
    - Then logout
    Note: That this will delete any existing modified keyboard assignments. Re-assign changes manually.
    Note2: This document is in your users preferences folder.

  • Internet recovery does not recognize hard drive

    Last week my internal hard drive failed in my 13-inch Macbook Pro from 2011 that had OS X Lion. I replaced it with a Western Digital 500 gb 2.5 inch SATA drive. I tried doing the Internet Recovery option, and when it comes to the part where it asks you to select a drive to install the OS, it is completely blank. Disk Utility only recognizes the optical drive and the emergency drive that the recovery operates off of. I opened up the computer and checked the connection to the hard drive, everything seems to be okay. What can I do to get the computer to detect this new hard drive so I can partition and format it, then download Lion again?

    I'l take it to get tested, I did consider that could be the problem, but I can hear it spinning when the computer powers on.

  • Qosmio Recovery does not work

    Qosmio x770 ST4N04 -- booted this morning and started a constant white noise from the speakers and Windows 7 loaded but froze.
    Tried to recover from USB -- tried to recover holding down the 0.  Recovery software doesn't work -- hangs on multiple loads -- was told by tech support to just reboot if it hangs -- finally get through all of it to have Windows 7 now boot to 2 accounts - admin and other user.  The admin account says it has been disabled, notify your admin.  And the other user asks for a password -- which we don't have since we didn't create it.  Have done this process now 3 or 4 times today -- once I did get it to boot and ask for me to setup an account -- but once windows 7 loaded, it hung trying to update the video card configuration -- seems to be really messed up -- the recovery software does NOT appear to be working at all -
    Any help would be appreciated.

    If you can't get through a recovery or if you've done a full recovery (which you have) and the problem persists, then you know there's a hardware problem. When that's the case, you should contact technical support at (800) 457-7777 to discuss a repair.

  • HT1338 Upgraded to Lion. IWork does not work. How do I fix this?

    I increased the size of my hard drive to 1TB and upgraded from Snow Lepord to Lion.  iWorks 09' (keynote, pages, numbers) and iPhoto do not work.  I have used software updated and everything is current.
    Is there a patch of something else I need to do to make them compatible?

    Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ If you’re running Mac OS X 10.7 or later, open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the page that opens.
    Step 1
    Enter the name of the crashed application or process in the Filter text field. Post the messages from the time of the last crash, if any — the text, please, not a screenshot.
    Step 2
    Still in the Console window, look under User Diagnostic Reports for crash reports related to the process. The report name starts with the name of the crashed process, and ends with ".crash". Select the most recent report and post the contents — again, the text, not a screenshot. For privacy’s sake, I suggest that, before posting, you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.) Please don’t post shutdownStall or hang logs — they're very long and not helpful.
