Lion Re-install

I recently had my Mac (new in 09-2008) checked at the local Apple store.  I told him the mac is slow, he told me I need more ram to run Lion which really requires 4GB as I only have 2GB, it can be slow when several aps are running.  He went on to tell me that as I had installed Lion over Snow Leopard, it was not the best way of installing Lion (Apple's recommendation) and he recommended that I do a re-install from a pen-drive.
My question is, should I do that?  I have been looking at a lot of You-Tube vids on instalation of Lion in various forms but this question does not appear to be  addressed.  I have my HD backed-up in Time Machine.  I have a copy of the install ap from the ap store which I simply dragged onto pen drive .  If I should do that so it will improve performance, how do I do that exactly?
The tech said put it on a pen drive and then restart the Mac holding the option key and the mac would boot from the pen drive starting a new instalation. 
Is it that simple or is somthing else required?
Thanks
David

Just to be reconfirm to be comepltely clear on this...... it is as simple as that, a copy of the lion install ap copied onto a pen drive (which is 4.2 GB), wipe the hard drive clean using disk utilities from the Snow Leopard installation disk (I had Leopard originally but then installed SL) and then restart the Mac pressing the option button which will boot it from the pen drive therby installing lion.  I don't have to make a small partition on the hard drive for lion nor do I have to do any special steps to the copy of the install ap on the memory stick, correct?
it sounds too simple but if that is it, I'll give it a go.

  • After a Lion clean install, how do I retrieve my data from external back-up? Following Apple advice for use of Migration Assistant did not work creating similar issues leading to clean install.

    After a Lion clean install, how do I retrieve my data from external hard drive?
    Following Apple advice I used Migration Assistant which crashed new system twice which is why I had to clean install Lion in the first place.
    Is there a sure way of doing it?
    I have only a few programs that I will have to install myself and that should not be a problem.
    I just want my data, music and photos back where I can use them.

    Time machine backups. I went to migration assistant a few hours ago and limited my selection to "users", no need for applications, settings and other files.  Stuff started moving over at a fast pace but has now seemed to stall.
    I will let it run overnight as there are lots of songs and photos as well as a few movies.
    If that does not work, then I will go into TM and try restore. I have restored some things in the past such a mail files and it has worked well. 
    The Apple fellow at the store told me to go right into TM, he may have had a point. I'll get it eventually.

  • I bought a mac mini with Lion pre-installed.  If I upgrade my mac mini to Mountain Lion, am I free to install Lion on my older macbook using the mini license?

    I currently have two macs.  A 2008 macbook which is running Snow Leopard, can run Lion, and cannot run Mountain Lion.  I also have a mac mini which came with Lion pre-installed.  I plan on upgrading my mini to Mountain Lion when it's available.  After I upgrade, it seems like I should be able to install Lion on my macbook using the license that came with my mini.
    I have found many articles about making a DVD or bootable USB drive to recover, or install Lion onto other macs.  So, I am not tied to the mac app store.  And I am not worried about how to install Lion onto the macbook.
    I have also read a few discussions about upgrading using pre-installed Lion license.  From what I've read, if someone buys Lion through the app store, they can install it on all of their macs.  But, if they have a machine the came with Lion pre-installed they can only use Lion on one machine.  However it is unclear if that license can be transferred to another machine.
    Another common answer that I have seen is, "Don't be cheap!  Just buy Lion throught the app store."  This is not about money, I'm interested in the technical challange, and the leagal question.
    Does anyone have experience with this, or opinions?

    If your machine came with Lion preinstalled, you cannot use it on another machine. It is tied to the machine it came with. You are allowed to make a one time transfer of the OS when you sell the machine as long as it remains with that machine.
    If you purchase Lion from the app store, you are free to install it on as many Macs as you own - however, if/when you sell one of those Macs, you are required to uninstall Lion as the license is not transferable and you need to reinstall the original OS.
    You can read the SLA for yourself - the link to the downloads to all licenses is here:

  • How do you erase mountain lion to install snow leopard?

    Hi, My mother now has a new to her late 09 mini that originally shipped with snow leopard. When she bought it it came with mountain lion preinstalled from a private seller. We were thinking that to be on the safe side that it might be better to erase and install what's on it just to be sure it is secure. I tried to erase and install snow leopard from a disk but it says that the installer is not compatible with this version of osx(mountain lion). Question: How do I erase mountain lion and install snow leopard?
    I've read here that there is possibly a built in recovery disk that I can use to erase and reinstall mountain lion. Q: Is there a built in recovery disk available in my situation? and if so should I use it or be even safer by installing snow leopard instead?
    Thank you,

    I think I found the answer (from sl install disk use disk utility to erase then install sl). Thanks for looking.

  • Can not fine external hard drive for time machine sence lion was installed

    I can not fine external hard drive for time machine sence lion was installed, it don't reconise it at all.

    I have a Mac Mini (late 2009) and I have an iomega 1TB external hard drive connected to my mini via firewire and usb (usb allows me to use the usb ports on the external 1TB drive to daisy chain other devices).  Since I installed Lion, my Time Machine  and this 1TB drive (and its partitions) is finicky.  Sometimes it is mounted and sometimes it is not.   This issue has only surfaced post Snow Leopard and in the Lion era. I am not the first to say this but the whole reason I went Mac was b/c of Vista.  I am beginning to think that Lion is the new Vista.  Sorry for the latter, just venting... b/c this ain't the first issue with Lion.

  • What I wish I'd Known Before My Lion Server Install

    The truth is that I am on my FIFTH Lion Server install on the same box this week. While I was working on #4, I went ahead and submitted a ticket with Apple and arranged a timeslot for this morning to work with them to help me past my struggles with Lion Server. This post is the result of that experience. Big props to Apple support techs Chuck and Don - you know who you are!
    What I Wish I'd Known Before My Lion Server Install
    1. Do NOT migrate user accounts, apps, and files, until AFTER you have the Server set up and working correctly.
    - This one tip, which is brilliantly simple, would have saved me four very long days of head bashing.
    2. Server Admin Tools are mandatory.
    - The first time around I used the Server App to configure the system (after an upgrade install, and subsequently after a clean install + migration).
    - Server Admin allows you to set up the foundation of your server - which it NEEDS!
    - DNS - configure a local, pseudo domain for your server if you're doing this at home. Something like "mynet.private" - if you don't, your SSL certificates can get all jacked up, your clients will not trust your certs. This breaks a lot of stuff.
    3. Do NOT accept the mDNS .local domain suffix for your Server
    - At each step, if something auto-fills your server name as name.local reject it, and use the fully qualified domain name that you set up above (server.mynet.private).
    - If you do not do this, anything that requires certificates could/will have big problems.
    4. Enable services one at a time. Reboot after EACH major phase past the core Lion install.
    - Base install ... Server install. REBOOT
    - DNS configuration. REBOOT
      - validate your host name - I needed to force a 'changeip' command because there was a problem with the HOSTNAME retaining the mdns .local domain name.
    - OD Master config. REBOOT
    - Set up Podcast Producer (which will also setup your Xgrid). REBOOT
    5. Take images of your hard drive as you go.
    - Once I got the core server installed, the basic services above, I rebooted and held the option key, then restarted on the Recovery HD image.
    - Use Disk Utility to take a snapshot image of your hard disk so you can get back to this wonderful place of everything working! It's cheap insurance, and adds a bit of extra time, but is well worth it. If you leave the default settings alone (the 'compressed' one in particular) it will use as little space as possible. My server at this stage of configuration created a 4GB disk image.
    6. Use the Migration Assistant After the above
    - Now you can migrate your apps
    - Migrate your users
    - etc.
    If you use the Migration option while you're installing the server, or if you upgrade on top of your Snow Leopard (or whatever), I can almost guarantee you that you are in for a world of hurt.
    I struggled through all kinds of issues with files having embedded information, scattered throughout all the various subsystems, that gummed up my installation and would case all manner of the flakey Lion Server behavior that you read about ("Error Reading Configuration").
    If you want to use Podcast Producer, or any of the Profile Manager features, the above methodology was the only way that I could get them to work. Often times I'd have everything working, then reboot and it would break. After I did the above, the system is as solid as a rock.
    Today, I love Lion Server. Yesterday I was cursing it.
    Best of luck!!

    There are 2 distinct apps in Lion Server.... Podcast (in Server app) and Podcast Producer (Server admin which is deemed legacy from SNS).  Podcast uses Podcast Publisher instead of Podcast Capture to produce, edit and submit to Podcast app.  Podcast doesn't requre Xgrid where PCP did. The two don't mix.
    It's as clear as mud in all the documentation about this.
    We're finding that Podcast Publisher has much more flexibility that Podcast Capture (edit, episodes & more), can use existing workflow from PCP, doesn't require xgrid, and podcasts can easily be managed by non-IT people via the Podcast wiki as opposed to the CLI pcast commands to edit & modify PCP feeds.
    Hope this helps.

  • Recently upgraded Mac 24" to Lion (clean install) and now no external hard disks work with Time Machine

    Recently upgraded Mac 24" to Lion (clean install) and now no external hard disks work with Time Machine.
    installed new internal disk first with fresh 10.7.3 Lion software. Also upgrade ram to 4GB. Work great, super fast.
    BUT.... my WD 1TB firewire400 external disks no longer work with the Lion enabled machine now.
    FURTHER... I read somewhere that WD is problematic with Lion but Seagate was not... so I went and bought a new 3TB Seagate GoFlex.
    When it didnt work properly either, I patiently searched and found a software/firward upgrade and applied.
    I re-partitioned disk to extened/journaled standard, etc.
    Then assigned the particition to Time Machine. Drive turned the blue/grey color, so I thought it would work.
    But, it has now been in "preparing" mode in Time Machine for HOURS....
    What is up Apple? So dissappointed. Ive read these type of problems are notorious with Lion and I wish I never upgraded.
    Are you trying to make issues with External disks, to drive people to iCloud?  That trick ont work in me. I will not reward bad behaviour Apple.
    Please provide a fix... I wasted hours/days screwing around with this, instead of using the Mac for what its intended!

    Solved by Pondini, on another thread I opened...
    Answer:
    Sounds like either:
    A directory problem on your internal HD.  Verify your internal HD, and Repair any other volumes being backed-up per #A5 in Time Machine - Troubleshooting.
    Something in OSX may be damaged.  You've tried the "combo," so a fresh copy of OSX (that won't disturb anything else) would be worth a try (and you don't need a tech for that).  See Installing the ''combo'' update and/or Reinstalling OSX.

  • Lion Clean Install - No Disc Required - Recovery Partition Solution

    There is a way to run a Lion clean install without unpacking the installation onto a new disc or thumb drive.  It can be accomplished via a slightly longer, two-step upgrade process, which requires wiping your hard drive after you've upgraded to Lion.  You must be able to connect to the internet for this option to work, as it will require downloading the install package again.
    As always, be sure to back up your data before performing any sort of wipe of your hard drive. 
    STEP 1 - Initial Upgrade
    Perform a normal Lion upgrade through the App Store.  This will install Lion on top of your current configuration.  It will also create a Recovery Partition, which is a new feature of the Lion OS.  It is this Recovery Partition that you will use to perform the clean install.
    STEP 2 - Wipe and Clean Install
    Restart your computer into Recovery mode.  This can be done by either holding down CMD-r during boot up, or holding down the Option key during bootup and selecting to boot from the Recovery partition.
    Select the Disk Utility option from the main menu.  Here you can select the main partition, click on the Erase tab at the top, and completely erase the partition.  Once you've done this, quit Disk Utility Option, and you will return to the main menu.
    Select the Lion Installation option.  It will ask you to connect to the internet if you have not done so already (if wireless, you can do this via the Wi-Fi icon in the top right corner).  It will also ask you to input your Apple ID login and password in order to verify that you've already purchased the software.  The installation will take as long as it requires to download the package again.  Once downloaded and installed, Lion will walk you through initial set up.
    This solution worked for me, but I make no guarantees that it will work for others.

    I've created a boot disk (several actually) following the methods outlined in this guide.
    http://www.eggfreckles.net/tech/burning-a-lion-boot-disc/
    I've also saved the installer dmg in several backup locations so it can be burned again fresh or transfered to bootable USB thumb drives.
    The Lion install disk boots up and operates just like the Recovery Partition (Disk Utiltiy and all) with one giant benefit, you don't have to log into the MacAppStore with all it's complications or require a lenghtly internet download to install Lion.
    So you won't see this annoying screen and have to wait a few hours if the servers are overloaded.
    The boot disk also installs considerably faster. Two giant benefits actually.
    Also  once Lion is installed, Bootcamp can be used to partition the drive, then the Recovery Partiton > Disk Utiltiy used to change the BOOTCAMP partition to HFS+ journaled and then 10.6 can be installed or cloned from a external drive onto the BOOTCAMP partition.
    Dual boot Snow/Lion is possible with a large enough boot drive.

    If you can download the ML installer you can make a bootable install media by using:
    http://liondiskmaker.com/
    If your Mini came with ML you can also boot to Internet Recovery
    OS X: About OS X Recovery
    and it will install ML. Make sure you boot to Internet Recovery and not the Recovery Partition. If to the partition you will only get Mavericks.

    I have a MacBook Pro bought in dec 2009. Currently has mountain lion osx installed. Worked like a dream until today. Randomly froze, so I restarted it. To find I got a grey screen. It wouldn't start. Also note my DVD drive doesn't work, but mountain lion was installed via App Store anyway.
    So here's what I done so far:
    tried resetting PRAM - No success
    Done disk utility. Disk verified with no errors. I even re formatted disk. - no success starting.
    Tried re installing mountain lion via download . It froze halfway installing -no success.
    Tried backing up a time machine backup from my USB hard drive. It froze at 1% - no success
    Tried booting from safe mode - no success
    Tried the command line boot - no success.
    Please someone help!

    Sounds like the hard dre has left the building, Died, in the Sh*tter, Gone to the hard drive resting place in the sky.
    Buy a new drive connect it to the system with a SATA to USB adapter and see if you can install Mt Lion on that drive connected externally. If you can then the drive inside your system has failed.
    Oh Wait!!!! You have the 2009 model. They are known for bad drive to logic board cables. So it may not be the drive itself but the cable going from the drive to the logic board. Do the same as above then if the system runs OK with the new drive connected externally install it in the system and see if it boots. If it does you are good to go. If it doesn't then it is more then likely the cable that hs failed.
    I would suggest you also SAVE a copy of that download of Mt Lion and create a USB install drive from it using Lion Disk Maker, once you get your system up and running.

  • Why won't my Mac Pro sleep after Lion is installed?

    Why won't my Mac Pro sleep after Lion is installed?

    Tell us, what hardware add ons?
    old software? that required PowerPC/Rosetta maybe.
    Look for any apps, process that used powerpc and look for updates, check out RoaringApps for a table of Lion compatible programs
    does it happen iwth a clean install?
    how about if you do a Safe Boot?

    As the last post suggests, call Apple and order a replacement original disc for about $17.  They will ask you the model and serial numbers.
    Your retail version of Snow Leopard OS 10.6.3 will not work on that Mac as it requires a minimum of OS X 10.6.7 to boot and operate.
    Another alternative is to again borrow another Mac to install your retail Snow Leopard into an external HD or partition, upgrade it to 10.6.8 and then clone it back to a partition on your MBP.

  • Lion clean install crawling

    I'm attempting a clean install of OS X Lion on a 2.8 GHz iMac with 4 GB of RAM. I downloaded Lion from the app store, created a USB installer, and booted from the installer. I initiated the installation after wiping the drive with disk utility.
    It's been nearly 20 hours now and the install still isn't complete. I would have thought it had hung, except that the log indicates progress as of this morning (current install log below).
    Any thoughts on what's going on? Are there any red flags in the log that may give an indication of what's wrong? I pulled the log at 6:45 system time, so it's evident that it's still trying to do...something.
    Thanks in advance.

    I've created a boot disk (several actually) following the methods outlined in this guide.
    http://www.eggfreckles.net/tech/burning-a-lion-boot-disc/
    I've also saved the installer dmg in several backup locations so it can be burned again fresh or transfered to bootable USB thumb drives.
    The Lion install disk boots up and operates just like the Recovery Partition (Disk Utiltiy and all) with one giant benefit, you don't have to log into the MacAppStore with all it's complications or require a lenghtly internet download to install Lion.
    So you won't see this annoying screen and have to wait a few hours if the servers are overloaded.
    The boot disk also installs considerably faster. Two giant benefits actually.
    Also  once Lion is installed, Bootcamp can be used to partition the drive, then the Recovery Partiton > Disk Utiltiy used to change the BOOTCAMP partition to HFS+ journaled and then 10.6 can be installed or cloned from a external drive onto the BOOTCAMP partition.
    Dual boot Snow/Lion is possible with a large enough boot drive.
