MacBook Pro 13.3in with Lion OS X?

I purchased a MacBook Pro 13.3 in and configured it with a 2.7 GHz Dual-Core Intel i7 processor, 8GB of RAM, and a 750 GB hard drive on August 7th. It's in Shanghai, China right now and should arrive on August 16th, but I wanted to know will it come with Lion OS X preinstalled? Or will I have to upgrade it from Snow Leopard?

Hi Patty,
I'm pretty certain it will come with Lion installed, but I'm positive you'll know about 30 seconds after you press the power button.

    I have installed Windows 7 into my Macbook Pro 15 inch with Lions as operating system.  (current model with 2.2 GHz i7 processor, 500 GB HD ad 5400 rpm).  When I started with boot camp, the system promped me to create a disc, which I presume is for the drivers for windows 7.  Now windows is intalled.  What do I do with the CD that the system created for me?  Also, why does the system automatically start in Win7 instead of Lion.  I need to pression the option key to have it start in OS X.  I thought it was supposed to be the opposite.

    Insert it while you are in Windows, if it does not autostart run setup.exe.
    Choose your startup disk using Apple>System Preferences>Startup Disk (in OSX) or Control Panel>Boot Camp>Startup Disk (in Windows)

  • New macbook pro 2012 preinstalled with lion can't be reinstalled?

    Hi everyone,
    I'm new to mac os x and I just bought a new macbook pro 13" four days ago which came preinstalled with mac os x lion.  I tried to do a clean install on the third day to experience doing it myself for the first time.  here's what I did:
    1st try
    @DU I perform erase Macintosh HD, set the partition table to GUID, partitioned the drive,
    exit DU and then selected reinstall mac os x from the mac os x utilities,
    I just clicked continue, continue, then it did some eligibility checking and verification.
    after a while the dialog window showed this message " This version of Mac OS X 10.7 cannot be installed on this computer."
    there's no other option below than quit.
    2nd try
    restarted macbook then pressed down option+command+r
    the globe logo came out.  I connected to my home wifi and a progress bar indicator came out.  after the progress bar completed, the Mac os x utilities came out.
    I selected reinstall mac os x from the mac ox x util.  I clicked on continue, continue.. an eligibility and verification followed and after a while I got the same message saying "This version of Mac OS X 10.7 cannot be installed on this computer."
    3rd try
    I restarted macbook again and pressed down option+command+r
    I did the steps from the 1st try again but I still get the same message "This version of Mac OS X 10.7 cannot be installed on this computer."
    Can anyone help me out on how to reinstall Lion? or did I missed out anything? or should I send this macbook for repair? or just return it?
    appreciate any advice...thanks.

    I remember something similar happening when OS X Lion was first released. At that time, the mid-2011 MacBook Air hit the store shelves and many users could not do a full reinstall from the Apple Servers. The reason, was that the MacBook Air had a specialized version of OS X Lion with a build number that has 4 numbers (i.e. build 11AXXXX) following the OS release number. In contrast, the release version of OS X at the time was 11A511 which uses 2 or 3 numbers and is a universal version of OS X that can be used by any Mac. The reason why you are experiencing problems installing OS X Lion is because you got the newest MacBook Pro which has a specialized build of OS X Lion and as in previous cases, it has 4 numbers meaning that it is a specialized version of OS X.
    You appear to be running the following version of OS X Lion:
    As you can see, it's an exclusive and optimized version of OS X for your MacBook. Your only hope is that Apple releases the OS X 10.7.5 release which most likely be universal with all Macs.
    I suggest going to the Genius Bar to sort things out.
    Hope my little explanation helps.

  • When will new Macs (MacBook Pros) be shipped with Lion?

    When will newly ordered Macs be shipped with Lion pre-installed?

    If not today, within the week, I'd imagine.

  • Installing Snow Leopard on macbook pro that came with Lion?

    I recently bought a new MBP, model MC721LL/A, that was originally released with Snow Leopard. When I received it I found out that it had Lion installed. Can I install Snow Leopard on it? I have some software that is NOT Lion compatible and am waiting for an update, but till then wanted to stay with Snow Leopard.
    Also, can I leave the Lion Restore partition on the hard drive for future use or will I need to do some kind of backup os the entire OS?

    Mine did not include snow leopard disks.
    I did try to startup from my Snow Leopard disk but it never finished the startup
    Where did you get the Snow Leopard disc from if you did not originally have it?  In either case, the one you have now did you get it from the previous owner?  You need the system discs that originally came with the computer.
    As to how to downgrade an os from Lion to Snow Leopard, you should post in the Mac OS X v10.7 Lion forum area.

  • Airport express is not recognized by my new macbook pro 10.7 with lion...

    Afer spending an hour on the phone with apple support center and not being able to correct this problem... I finally got it working after talking with a friend! So for those who have the same problem, the solution was in the end quite simple! Un plug the APE and plug it back in while pressing the reset button. Then connent the APE to your computor via a usb cable. The computor will then recognise the APE and you will be able to configurate for your liking! It can the be unplugged and placed where you want it to go in the house as the computor will now recognise it! I guess it was just to simple a solution for the help center to think about it! good lick to all!!

    While I appreciate you trying to help, I'm not a fan of being talked to like a child. If you want to see what version of iOS X I'm using, look no further than the title of my question (10.7.5, there, I saved you having to scroll up).
    Yes I read what you saying IOS and I thought you made a mistake because Mac operating system is called OSX and not IOS.
    Now, I can only assume that your next idea is for me to restart my computer and/or try a different cable. Let's pretend I'm not a complete moron and continue from beyond those steps.
    Well, my next idea would be figure it out yourself, if you think answering question is below you.

  • HT201257 Hi -- I have a late 2011 13" macbook pro that shipped with and runs Lion. Unfortunately, I do not have the install disks with me. Holding down D key does nothing. What can I do?

    How can I run the hardware test on a macbook pro that SHIPPED with lion (never had an earlier OS) without access to the install disks? I am away from them and home for several months. Holding down the D key does nothing.

    Press "Option" and "D" key together.
    "Restart your computer, holding down the “D” key while the computer restarts.After your computer restarts, you should see the Apple Hardware Test chooser screen.

  • USB-3 card reader that is compatible with MacBook Pro (Retina) and Mountain Lion

    Can anybody recommend a USB-3 based CompactFlash memory card reader that works with the MacBook Pro (Retina) and Mountain Lion (or, at least, Lion)?
    Thanks in advance...

    Thanks for your reply, Clinton. But I already have two readers that are USB-2 compatible. Now I need the one like I described above. I am using only the fastest CF cards available.
    I have read some user reports (on Amazon) on two readers relevant to my needs - SanDisk and Lexar - but I'm still not sure whether they are fully compatible with the Retina MacBook and Mountain Lion. As a matter of fact, I doubt it...

  • I updated my Macbook Pro last week to Lion.  I went to go import pictures from a memory card to my iPhoto, but only a portion of them loaded before my iPhoto froze and I had to Force Quit it. Now iPhoto won't even open... Help!

    Please! I need an answer fast!!!!

    Option 1
    Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
    If that fails:
    Option 2
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one. .

  • MacBook Pro Mac OS X Lion 10.7.5 to new Mac Pro

    I am currently using a pro 2011 and I want to buy a new one that runs on the Os X Mavericks system. I back up my current computer with an external seagate hard drive right now. If I buy a new computer running on Maverick and connect my seagate drive to it, will I be able to see my files,photos etc. automatically??
    Should I upgrade my Lion 10.7.5 system to Maverick? What are the pro and cons??
    Thanks,

    AllegraEsmeralda,
    which model MacBook Pro do you currently have now? There’s only one model which can run Lion but can’t run Mavericks — the Late 2006 model. Any other MacBook Pro which can run Lion can also run Mavericks.
    Does your current MacBook Pro rely upon Seagate kernel extensions to be able to access your external hard drive? If not, then you should be able to use it under Mavericks too. If it does rely upon them, then you’ll need to check if your installed Seagate software is usable under Mavericks, or if there’s an update available for it which will run under Mavericks.
    Whether you should upgrade from Lion to Mavericks or not depends upon what you use your MacBook Pro for. For example, there are some third-party peripherals which are supported under Lion but not supported under Mavericks; if you depend upon any of those peripherals, then you shouldn’t upgrade to Mavericks unless you’re also planning to upgrade to Mavericks-compatible peripherals.
