Lion is not showing up on my apple ID so I cant re install it on my desktop

I had to put a new hard drive in my mac book Pro that I bought new a couple of years ago and I bought Lion when it came out, but according to what I'm seeing its not attached to my apple ID, help?

Ok and you used the same Apple ID that you bought Lion with?
What model year is your Mac? If it is an "Early" Early 2011 model that came with snow leopard you can't (TYPO, Should of READ CAN'T) use the Online Internet Recovery system as that is only for Mac computers that Originally came with Lion or Mt Lion. Even though the system started from it it will never work for you as your system came with Snow Leopard or Leopard.
You must use the original systemdiscs to reinstall Snow Leopard then once that is installed and updated to 10.6.8 then you login to the Mac App store to redownload Lion and install it.
I could give you the full story on why your system is booting from the Online Internet Recovery system and why it isn't working but just take my work for it you will never get Lion installed from that.
Once you have completed the Snow Leopard install, and I suggest you first reinstall the iLife apps from the second system disc, the Applications disc, before you upgrade to Lion, and then download and install lion use the Lion Recovery Disk Assistant program to make a USB thumb drive of the Built in Recovery HD partition so in the future you will be able to boot the system and reinstall Lion Clean, IE without first installing Snow Leopard.

  • HT1390 I've rented & downloaded a movie on my computer in itunes, but it does not show up on my Apple TV.  Everything else shows up on Apple TV, including my computer's movie library.  When I click on the movie in Apple TV it says I've already rented it.

    Unfortunately I have to if I download it on my computer.  I have rented itunes movies before directly using the Apple TV and it worked just fine and I could stay in the living room.  Without clicking that icon on my computer, there was no way to watch it.

    A movie rented on an iPhone can only be viewed on an iPhone. If you want to view on TV you need to rent directly on ATV or via computer (and stream using home-sharing)

    Rentals are one-time only downloads, they will not show on other devices/computers for redownloading.
    If you rent a film on your iPad or Apple TV then you can only watch it on that device. If you rent it on your Mac then you can move it from there to your iPhone or your Apple TV (if it's a first gen Apple TV) : FAQs about renting movies from the iTunes Store :
    If you rented the movie on your computer, you can move it to an iOS device or Apple TV (1st generation). To do this, connect the devices and sync using USB. When you move a rented movie from your computer, it will disappear from your computer’s iTunes library. You can move the movie between devices as much as you want, but you can only have it on one device at a time.
    If you rented the movie on your iOS device or Apple TV, you can’t move it to any other device.

    Download it again, don't install again and the file (Lion Installer.app) will be in your applications folder.
    It is deleted after installation, that's why it can't be found.

  • TS2755 imessages on mountain lion does not show same conversations as iPhone using same iCloud account

    Just got macbook pro with Mountain Lion installed.  Have had an iphone for years and like using Messages as text client on the phone.  I have both iphone and macbook connecting to same Apple ID account, but all of the conversations I have on my iphone are not showing up on my macbook - isn't this supposed to work?

    You should check the iMessage settings on both your devices. Make sure you have identical receive addresses on both. That way you get iMessages sent to your phone number and email (if you use that) delivered to both. For example, if you have a "receive email" on yourMac and iPhone and you don't have your "receive phone number" set on your Mac, then iMessages sent to your email from another person will appear on both devices and iMessages sent to your phone number will only appear on your iPhone.

  • Purchased Homesharing; Homesharing is working on all three Apple devises except for Apple TV. Apple TV is showing photos, but not music. My computer is "authorized" but it is not showing up on my Apple TV. Request advise.

    Apple TV is not showing the authorized computer on my network. All three other Apple devises are sharing. Apple TV is getting my pictures, but not my music or  iTunes Match.

    It is not properly connected to the network.
    Make sure location is set correctly
    DNS should be on auto (settings - general - network)
    Try ethernet
    Signal strength on device won't account for issues, you would need a network report from istumbler, netstumbler or similar. This will show accurate signal strength along with noise and nearby networks

  • I rented a movie on my computer and it is not showing up on my apple tv. My homesharing is on, yet nothing is happening.

  • IPad & iPhone not showing correct Home Share (Apple TV is!)

    I have setup Home Sharing in iTunes and have enable it across iPad & iPhone and they are both using the correct Apple ID
    The problem I have is that my Movies and TV Shows that I have recently added are not showing up on the Home Share on iPad or iPhone.
    The Home Share is setup for Apple TV and everthing is fine.
    I have:
    Disabled Home Share and re-enabled it
    Restarted iTunes several times.
    I have deleted one file that was visable on iPad and that now no longer appears - So there is a connection but I'm not sure where the iPad is looking?
    On iPad I have two different TV Shows displayed but multipe copies of them are showing: See image: When
    Eg, Series 1 Episode 1-10 are showing 5 times if not more
    I have now reset my iPad and the issue still exists.
    Any idea's appreciated.
    Thanks

    Hi,
    sure i can. The automatic correction is an enemie to me.
    My last sentence based on the menu from iTunes->File->Library->Oraganize Library.
    More Details:
    1. Make a screenshot from your iPhone or iPad with the duplicates
    2. Click in iTunes on your pc in the tv shows section an choose the duplicate tv shows.
    3. Right click-> Show in finder
    4. Copy the file to an external hard drive
    5. Delete the entry in iTunes
    Repeat that with all duplicated tv shows
    6. Choose in the menu file-library-organize library.
    7. Close iTunes and reopening it
    8. Check on your iPhone or iPad if u have some duplicated shows.
    9. Copy the removed tv shows back in the library. But only one by one
    10. Testing after ever tv show if the are duplicated.
    That's all.
    Hope it works for you.
    Best wishes

  • Free Lion update not showing in purchases in App store.

    Hi I have just bought a new I mac. I want the Lion update so went to the up to date program page and entered in the information required. Lion sucessfully purchased although is not showing in the purchases tab of the app store. I have checked my order history and it is there... I would really appreciate any help as I would like to upgrade to Lion before I start messing around with my mac.

    I filled out the form for the Free Lion upgrade. I would then assume that I would go into app store and be able to download it but it hasn't appeared in the purchased tab. I had just setup my time capsule and the settings were wrong so my connection was intermittent. I possibly missed something during the process. I checked my order history and the free upgrade is there, I will be contacting mac app store tomorrow.

  • Photo Sharing not showing all photos via Apple TV 3rd Gen

    Hi
    Have Apple TV, 3rd gen, latest update of the software. Running 10.8.5 on a mid 2009 MacBookPro. When I select a few smart albums from iPhoto 09 (v. 8.1.2) and then select those albums to share/stream to my Apple TV via iTunes (11.1.3) only a few of the photos show up; in the 3 albums I have selected to share/stream there are in excess of 500 photos. However, when I have my photos selected as the slideshow/screensaver in my Apple TV, only a few photos show up, less than 100, and then the slide show starts to repeat itself.
    Any ideas why it's not showing every photo in the albums I have selected to stream/share?
    Thanks, and Merry Christmas!
    David

    Are you mixing slideshows and screen savers up, screen savers won't show all the photos in a large collection.

  • HT201272 Lion App not showing in Purchased History.

    I bought the Lion app and now want to download it on another computer but the app is not showing in my purchased history items on my itunes account, even though I have the receipt via an email as proof of purcahse. How do I re download this app? Anyone any idea? I was told you can use it more than once on other macs with the same itunes accounts. Thanks.

    No, that's not right, not if you're using iTunes. Again, you need to use the App Store application. The only thing you'll see if you're using iTunes are apps for iOS devices.
    Regards.

  • Airplay on iOS8 (iPhone and iPads) not showing any of my Apple TVs or base stations on network!

    I recently upgraded to iOS8 on my iphone5 and 2 iPad Airs (most recent iPad).
    When I have a video to watch and want to stream it to any of my apple tv's, the icons for these do not show up on the airplay button.  The only option is "airplay" which doesn't connect with anything.  Any sometime when I open the video, there is no airplay button!
    I've restarted my Apple time capsule and upgraded the firmware and I've upgraded the firmware in all of my apple TVs as well.
    When I try to connect with an iPad that had iOS7, everything works fine and the airplay button is available and shows all of my apple TVs and Base Stations that are networked.
    Anyone else having this problem?
