My password has changed whilst installing lion now cant finish install?

My password has changed so i cant install Lion help
i have tried my mobilme password and changed that and re-entered it to no avail

So the question remains:  How to install from a local copy?
There is no easy way.
If your Mac came with Lion preinstalled, your options are:
1. Make a bootable clone immediately (before adding any apps or other files). Keep that for emergency purposes.
2. Make a second bootable clone whenever there are major changes (and with all your apps and files installed).
3. Purchase the USB stick from Apple for $69.
4. You cannot purchase or download Lion from MAS (except with/through your internet recovery option) because you did not purchase Lion there in the first place (unless you were to completely erase your hard drive and then purchase/download Lion from MAS and then copy/save the installer to a safe place).

discs are becomming a thing of the past
I don't believe that is going to happen quite as quickly as Apple hopes it will.
P.S. I give up on the formatting - three tries: your name shows up fine in the reply window and then gets messed up......

    When I upgraded to 10.7.4 I lost the ability to use a lot of my previous software that was intel based. My Adobe suites for example. So for $29 i now have to spend $1000's to get these to work. What has changed with Mountian Lion. I am not rich?

    The reason your applications do not work in Lion/Mountain Lion is that they were written for the older PowerPC CPU that all Macs used up to 2006.  When Apple made its transition to the Intel CPU, they licensed software that they included in all versions of OS X (from Tiger to Leopard and optionally, Snow Leopard) called Rosetta.
    Rosetta miraculously allows PowerPC applications to work on the Intel processor transparently; you do not know it is even present.
    The problem is that after 6 years of the transition, Apple's license to use the underlying software expired for OS X Lion and all version thereafter (and it is doubtful that the current owner of the software, IBM, would relicense it, even if Apple were inclined to do so).
    So you do not have to accept recriminations from others for previously using Rosetta without even knowing it was present and running!
    So for those of use that need to upgrade to Lion/Mountain Lion, I have offered the option to install Snow Leopard (with Rosetta) into Parallels 7:

    And now Mountain Lion:
    If you are unable or unwilling to update your inventory of PowerPC software, this solution offers you an alternative for not more than the $29 cost of Snow Leopard and $79 cost of Parallels (cheaper via internet sources).
    Full Snow Leopard installation instructions into Parallels 7 are here:

  • Apple id password has changed.

    Hi.
    My apple ID's password has changed and when I go into the website to change it, I'm greeted with a message saying an email has been sent but I've never recieved one. I've done this a couple of time. IT just won't work.
    Any advice would be great, thank you

    No, I do not share my Apple ID with anyone. (althought it appears that I may be now)...
    Since this has happened several times now, how would I go about stopping it?
    Apparently someone must know my Apple ID and is using that to log in and change my account password.
    Is there anything I can do besides changing my Apple ID?  Obviously changing my password is not suffficient to keep them from changnig it again. Seems like a pretty weak security arrangement.
    Thanks guys,
    Keith

  • My Adobe Premiere Elements was working a little while ago -- nothing has changed on my PC -- now I get error 150:30

    My Adobe Premiere Elements was working a little while ago -- nothing has changed on my PC -- now I get error 150:30

    seadrift
    What version of Premiere Elements are you using and on what Windows computer are you running it?
    The 150:30 error is probably indicative of a licensing problem.
    How long has the problem existed?
    If it persists, please check out the following Adobe document related to troubleshooting this type of matter...perhaps starting with
    solution 2.
    Error "Licensing has stopped working" | Windows
    Please let us know if any of that worked for you.
    Thanks.

  • HT204380 It says my password has changed

    I am trying to get started with Facetime and it says my Apple Id or password has changed so it will not let me sign in.

    ok so i just figured it out, if it is messing up with your .mac account when you goto type in your screen name type in what ever it is and also type @mac.com then your password, it will take to another menu saying your password is wrong but you'll see that it says @mac.com twice, delete one of the @mac.com's then type password and it'll work.

  • Server Password Has Changed

    I have been receiving an error message stating the Server Password Has Changed on my email account on my phone, yet, I keep receiving my emails with no interruption......thoughts?

    Happens occasionally, even with everything valid, because a server is down (you don't talk with one server when doing email, authentication is on another server).
    If not using WEBMAIL. Review your settings and make absolutely sure you are using the current onses
    For those not using Yahoo email interface
    smtp.verizon.net port 465 SSL and plain text password.
    pop.verizon.net port 995 SSL and plain text password.

  • My WiFi name and password has changed. Did someone hack my WiFi? My computer can connect but not my iPhone 5s, and the connection for my computer is full, please help.

    Hello, this is my first post.
    Well lately I've been experiencing some connection issues with my iPhone 5s. I was on my iPhone just watching Youtube when my iPhone 5s disconnected, I tried to connect again by going to settings> Wi-FI> and then select my network as usual, but the weird thing is that my Wi-Fi network has changed it's name to Wireless, it used to be Wireless710. Also the password has been changed.
    My computer can easily connect due to the fact that it is hardwired to the Wireless Cable Modem Gateway.
    Extra Info:
    Carrier is Sprint.
    I am using Windows 7 Ultimate.
    My Wireless Cable Modem Gateway is Netgear.
    And now I am confused because when I open the small tab with the computer and a plug on the bottom right corner next to the speaker icon it says I'm not connected :/?! Here is a picture of it:
    Note that I can not connect to it but am connected on my computer. It just disappeared on my phone and computer, I even unplugged my router waited for 20 seconds and connected it back in. Did it wok? for my computer yes again because it is hardwired, but my phone? No. Wireless 710 still won't show up. Is this a possible hack? Please help me as much as you all can, thank you very much.

    Log in to the router's console with a web browser from your computer. What kind of encryption did you have on the router? If it was WEP that's about as secure as no encryption. It should be WPA or WPA2. There has been an exploit reported in Netgear and Linksys routers that allows someone connected to the router if Remote Access to the console is enabled to take it over and install spyware on it.
    Is it your router, or the cable providers? If it is yours it has been hacked. If it belongs to the cable provider they may have changed it to make it more secure. Call them.
    And if it has been hacked and is yours the best thing to do is to throw it away and get a new, more secure router. Or you can try reflashing the firmware by going to Netgear's site and downloading a clean copy.

  • Installed Lion, now I can't save to my hard drive anymore!

    I installed Lion yesterday, and now I cannot save documents or anything to my hard drive anymore.  To create a new folder on my hd i need to put in permission, to save a word document it says, can't do!  No space
    "Word cannot save or create this file.  The disk may be full or write protected. Try one or more of the following, free more memory, make sure that the disk you want to save the file on is not full, write-protected or damaged. "
    How do I fix this?  thanks! e_moma

    Hello Debora, and welcome to ASC -
    I think it would be better to start your own thread, for a couple of reasons. First, although you may be getting the same error message as the original poster, it's not at all clear yet that they are caused by the same problem, and trying to sort out possible different situations can get very confusing. The original poster seems to have a permission problem even for creating a new folder; if you can save from TextEdit but not from Word then you may have a different problem. The original poster always has priority.
    Second, this is the Lion forum, and if you are not running Lion you will get more focused help if you post in the forum that corresponds to your system. It's also important in getting help that people here know as much about your system as possible - you should complete your profile so that people know what you are running.

  • 2007 MBP, couldn't install Lion, now can't re-install Leopard

    I have a MBP from late 2007. It came with Leopard installed on it. I recently tried to upgrade to Lion, but received the message "Lion can't be installed on this computer". Now I can't reinstall Leopard. When I try to boot, it will always select the Lion partition, but I can't erase/unmount the Lion partition. Now, when I try to boot from the Leopard DVD, it also won't work.
    How can I get rid of all remnants of Lion on my computer and install leopard, from the CD?
    Thanks!

    Your 2007 MBP would have to been updated to Snow Leopard 10.6.8 to install Lion. Now that you're in a mess, boot from your Leopard installer disk and Erase the disk and then install Leopard.

  • I just installed Lion-now my screensaver won't show photos from my iPhoto album?

    After installing Lion (Mac OSX7.3) when I start the screensaver in System Prefs and select my iPhoto cache and any of the albums, all I get for a screensaver is "Flurry" when the screensaver starts. Why won't my photos display as a screensaver like they did in Snow Leopard? Is there a special trick to getting this to work? Also, when I try to disable the screensaver, like when I want to download and install apps that take a really long time to download, the MBP will go to sleep in 15 minutes, even though I have tried to set the sleep time to "Never". This is frustrating. Thanks in advance.....Rodney

    Well, now I'll never know.  In the end I had three drives that wouldn't mount properly.  Wouldn't show up at all in disk utility, desktop, nothing.  The first two were a brand new MyBook 3TB USB drive ("Sequoia") and a Lacie Rugged 500GB drive that I was just given by a client ("Drive 21") - probably not a very old drive either.
    I had already done what you recommended, unplugging the G-Raid 2TB (very new) drive, another Lacie Rugged 500GB drive ("Susie", a couple years old), and a Lacie 1TB drive (18 months old or so).  Then reset, plugged in Sequoia and Drive 21.  Nothing.  All sorts of other attempts.  Nothing.
    Then with everything above already plugged in and Sequoia and Drive 21 not showing up, I pulled Drive 21 and replace it with yet another Lacie Rugged 500TB drive ("Moe") the same age as Susie.  Did not show up.  Then I connected Drive 21 to my Powerbook and it worked fine.  Plugged it back in my Mac Pro daisy chained to Moe and it showed up immediately.
    Tried the same process with Sequoia, and no luck anywhere.  Then just powered Sequoia down for a few minutes, plugged back into my Mac Pro and all is well in the world.
    So I think there were two things going on.  I think it was all caused by the Lion upgrade, and somehow connecting to my Powerbook helped with some sort of non-scientific reset.  And with Sequoia I think being a USB drive needing a separate power source, it needed a bit of an extra minute or two.
    Thanks for responding.

  • Installed Lion now can't open Photoshop et al.
