New Mac OS Lion?

I just bought my laptop this July 4, and I was wondering if Apple would have some sort of deal for recent shoppers since the OS is coming out this month.

The OS X Lion Up-to-Date upgrade will be available at no additional charge via the Mac App Store to all customers who purchased a qualifying new Mac system from Apple or an Apple Authorized Reseller on or after June 6, 2011. Users must request their Up-to-Date upgrade within 30 days of purchase of their Mac computer. Customers who purchase a qualifying Mac between June 6, 2011 and the date when Lion is available in the Mac App Store will have 30 days from Lion’s official release date to make a request.
When Lion becomes available in July, come back to this page for details on how to request your copy of Lion."

  • How do i move my photobooth photos from my old mac to my new mac with lion os

    have tons of photos in my older version of photobooth, how do i migrate them to new mac with lion os. looked everywhere but can't find an answer.

    It's actually very simple. In your old AB under the file menu click "Export Address Book Archive to your desktop. Then using the new system log in to the old via network and move the file from the old to the new.
    Then open the new AB and click import AB archive"
    You're done

  • Will my HP Officejet Pro 8500 Wireless work with the new Mac OS Lion

    Will my HP Officejet Pro 8500 Wireless work with the new Mac OS Lion

    My experience with upgrading from Snow Leopard to Lion is that the OfficeJet Pro 8500 Wireless will print just fine, although it seems to take a little longer to find the printer on the network. My scan function however locks up and will not work. This really is an annoyance, though, since I have VueScan, which works fine with Lion.
    Hopefully, Apple and HP will not orphan the OS native scanning feature for HP multifunction printers.

  • Who has a brand new Mac with Lion?

    I've been reading about all these issues with Lion. (yes i realize most people who are happy don't post) Most of the time when someone has an issue someone else says that their system must have been screwed up prior to the upgrade or they did something wrong, or have software that causing the issue, etc. I'm wondering if any of you are having issues with Lion on a brand new Mac? A new computer that came with Lion or at least a brand new computer that you installed Lion on as soon as you took it out of the box. Something NEVER used without Lion.
    Seems to me that if the vast majority of brand new Macs that come with Lion installed are working great then the problems people are seeing may in fact be something that already existed in their system prior to the upgrade. But if people with brand new virgin Macs are having issues with Lion then it HAS to be system bugs.
    I think this information could be a good indicator if the OS has a ton of bugs or if it simply does not get along well with possible existing bugs your computer may already have.
    I have two 2009 Macs and I'd love to upgrade to Lion because i like to keep my systems current but honestly I'm afraid too!!

    I bought my iMac (mid 2011 model) in July (brand new) and have Lion 7.1 installed. I have found many things which I would class as being "a different way of doing things from what I am used to", through "oddities (some annoying)", and a few that are clearly bugs, such as the Magic Mouse pointer going AWOL for about 45 secs. once per day, very short mouse battery life (eg., a few days), Mail not showing the addressee when doing a word search. But I have not had any killer problems like many of the other posters such as Wifi not working. I just grit my teeth and hope that Apple will soon get things straight.
    Someone said that Lion should have been classed as a beta release and I think there is some truth in that. However, it is important to realise that the people who post here are the ones with problems, not satisfied customers. How many Lions have been sold? A million?
    I was put off initially when I got my iMac and was glad that at that time it came with Snowleopard, but I took the plunge and am glad that I did. I like many of the features in Lion.

  • How can I virtualize Lion if I bought a new Mac with Lion preinstalled?

    Hi folks. I read that you were allowed to virtualize 1 instance of Lion after purchasing Lion.  How can I virtualize Lion if I don't have any install media with one of the new macs?

    If you bought on of the new MacBook Airs or Mac Minis, you will have a short term problem as the you will not be able to download a fresh copy of the Installer. See my post here.
    This problem should go away soon probably with 10.7.1
    If onthe other hand you bought one of the oleder models and it came with Lion, then you can download another copy of the installer by:
    Open the App store.
    Hold down the option key while selecting "purchased"
    Lion should now say "Install" rather than "Installed".
    Click install to download a new copy of the Installer.
    As soona s th installer automoatically opens after doqnloading, quit it
    Save a copy of the installer from Applications.

  • HT3737 I have a new mac with Lion but I don't have a menu bar. How do I launch the menu bar?

    I just booted up a new mac-mini that came with Lion. However, I don't have a menu bar.  Is there a setting I need to change?

    If it's a fresh installation that is going through its initial boot sequence then you will need to run through utilities to set up your account, which may not show the menu bar. Once logged into your account the menu bar should show up. What happens when you click the little blue smily face icon in the Dock at the bottom of your screen (this is the Finder icon)?

  • Installed FCP7 on a brand new mac running lion, Now FCP won't boot.

    Just got a new mac quad running the latest version of lion. When i start FCP7, it's gets to the splash page, asks me to select a deck, then when I hit continue, it just quits out. Any suggestions? I have done the simple restart and tossed out preferences.
    Thanks

    Use Disk Utility to repair permissions on your boot drive. Restart. Try again.

  • How do I get Windows XP onto my new mac running lion when boot camp only gives me the option for windows 7

    Hi   I have been trying to partition my hard drive on my new Mac so that I can run some windows specific programs and I wanted to use Windows Xp because I beleive it to be suitable for my needs + becuase its now an older OS it's cheaper.
    My version of Mac is running the Lion operating system and when I start up the boot camp assitant I only get the option to install windows 7. If I proceed and put in the XP installer disc I get a message "Installer disc not found- insert disc and wait a few moments".
    The Xp disc is supposed to be a full version- at least thats what the guy who sold it to me claims, anyone any solutions on how to proceed or do I have to buy Windows 7?
    Chris

    With OSX Lion Apple has removed support for Windows XP and Windows Vista from BootCamp.
    That leasves only Windows 7 as a viable option to use.
    You can however use Virtualization apps like the free VirtualBox to install and run XP on your Mac.
    Commercial ones are Parallels and VMWare Fusion.

  • New install of CS3 on my new Mac OSX Lion does not start

    Good morning,
    I have an old Mac running CS3, that was upgraded to Lion afterwards with no difficulty.
    I bought a new Mac 27" Mac OSX Lion, when installing CS3 on it, the licence number does not register a green check (horrible red cross instead....) Licence number is valid, legally purchased....
    What's wrong here? I can't aford to upgrade just for that reason....

    Since this is a serial number issue you can't post anywhere, I would do one-on-one chat support for activation:

  • COD (call of duty 4) freezes on new mac mini - Lion

    I hope someone can provide me some guidance..
    I just got my brand new mac mini with the following specs:
    2.5 ghz (i5)
    8GB RAM DDR3
    AMD Radeon HD 6630M 256MB
    OSX Lion 10.7
    When i play COD online in multiplayer mode (and only then) after about 2 minutes it starts to freeze for 4 seconds and unfreezes for 1 sec, recurrently, it doesnt stop until i exit the multiplayer mode. I have no issues in single player mode.
    Any clue on why is that happening ?
    thank you
    Chad

    I have a question does CoD4 still have a good amount of players and does it only support mac to mac?

  • The guide to bootcamp assistant states that bootcamp can only be installed on a drive with a single partition. New Macs with Lion preinstalled have two partitions - the second is a recovery partition.  How do I install Bootcamp?

    Late in August 2011 I took delivery of a new 27" iMac with Lion preinstalled.  I need to run Windows as well. Following Apple's written suggestion, I printed off the then current 12 pages of the document "Bootcamp Installation & Setup Guide" which clearly stated that the hard drive you were going to install on had to have on it, before install, a maximum of one partition.  Using finder and disk utility I determined that there was only one partition.  Unbeknownst to me, there was (is) an additional hidden (from those two pieces of software) partition on the disk.  As of machines delivered new with Lion preinstalled, Apple has begun to include a "recovery partition".  In that partition there is a copy of the software necessary to reinstall Lion via a download from the Apple App Store.  Not knowing the partition was there, I cranked up  "Bootcamp Assistant" which nicely offered to repartition my hard drive creating a "Bootcamp Partition" in addition to the existing.  I told it how big to make each and hit the do it button, subsequently destroying my operating system.  Oh, it very nicely told me, after the damage was done, how many partitions were REALLY on the disk and that I could not install Bootcamp cause there were too many partitions.
    Luckily the the Recovery Partition, which at that point I knew existed, was not harmed and after doing some research on another compter, I used it to once again download Lion from the App Store and reinstall. So, I have recovered but am still stuck with the problem:  how do I install Bootcamp in this new environment?

    First you need to seriously back up your Mac.
    A clone is an exact duplicate of your existing Mac HDD. Merely copying and pasting a drive will not make a bootable backup. In case of problems you can boot from an Ext HDD clone and use the utilities to repair, reformat, or clone the Ext HDD back to the internal Mac HDD.  While Time machine back ups are easy you can not boot from it. The best thing to have for any kind of problem is a bootable clone backup on an external drive. Some even have two external backup drives in case one fails. There are two good apps for cloning named SuperDuper and Carbon Copy Cloner.
    In dealing with the recovery partition a simple approach is to clone the Mac partition to an external disk then re-partition the Mac to a single partition (GUID partition table) . Then clone the external disk clone back to the Mac. You will now have only one Partition and Boot Camp assistant sould not object.
    Some have recommended getting rid of the recovery partition while others have advised not to do this. If you have the Lion USB Thumb Drive you do not need a recovery partition so can discard it without concern. There is another way to get rid of the recovery partition if you decide to do it but first be sure to have a backup of your Mac ( I know I sound like a nagging mom but many dead computers have been saved by this simple precaution).
    Use Disk Utility.
    1) Make the Recovery visible in Disk Utility by using a program like Secrets:http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/27025/secrets or MacPilot:http://www.koingosw.com/products/macpilot.php (15 day free trial).
    2) Highlite the Recovery partition and Control click it and select Mount the partition.
    3) With the Recovery partition highlited, erase the partition, you'll get an error message, ignore it.
    4) Now highlite the top identity of the hard drive and select the partition tab.
    5) Highlite the Recovery partition and press the minus sign.
    6) Click and hold on the bottom edge of the partition above and drag it to the bottom, if it doesn't go there automatically, the press apply.

  • If you buy a new Mac with Lion already installed, you're SOL

    I bought a new 27" iMac i7 this week with Lion preinstalled. My understanding was that, since I now own a copy of Lion, I can install it at no extra cost on my other computers. Not true. I just got off the phone with Apple. I have to buy Lion from the App Store for my MacBook Pro, and then I can share it with another computer. Now, the only other computer I have it the new iMac, which already has Lion on it. You would think that, after spending $2500 on a new computer, you wouldn't have to buy the OS again.
    Don't get me wrong. I love Apple and have owned Macs since 1985. But this makes me pretty unhappy. I know it's only $30, but it's the principle of the thing. There's no installer app on my iMac or I'd just copy it over to my laptop. And since you don't get installation discs anymore with new computers, I can't even install it that way.
    Boo hiss! :-)

    I haven't had any problems with the new iMac playing videos. So far, so good.
    As for having the OS preinstalled and no discs in the box, I recently made a recovery disk, just in case I need to reinstall the OS, since there isn't an install app anywhere on the hard drive (at least that I can find). Now, in 27 years of owning Macs, I've never had to reinstall an OS (don't ask about my Windows machines, though!). But there could always be a first time, right? Best to be prepared, just in caes...
    Also, I bought my iMac at Small Dog Electronics. I'm very happy with the price I got there, but *they* are the ones who told me I could also install the OS on my MacBook Pro--at no extra cost. When I called Apple I found out differently. So I've let Small Dog know that isn't correct and that they shouldn't be telling people that. I think the reason this happened is because my local store just opened in the past few months, and the employees there aren't as saavy and well-trained as Apple Store employees. This was my first experience not buying directly from Apple, but all in all it's been a good one.
    Larry, I got the trackpad, too. After some initial hiccups getting used to it, I absolutely love it.

  • One big question about glitches in my software if I install Lion or buy a new mac with Lion

    I have 2009 Leopard I Mac. My bank now insists I have an Intel supported browser and more. Apple said Firefox will do it, but I need to upgrade to either Snow Leopard or Lion or buy a new I Mac with Mt. Lion installed. I read complaints about MP Navigator, Quicken and other software not working on SL or Lion..with my Canon printer..I am over 70 and legally blind, do all our accounting, taxes and correspondence with my I Mac including making DVD's, Cd's...and not able to figure out problems easily. Any suggestions on what I can do? I have to be able to access on=line banking, and also print check copies, etc. for our taxes.

  • New Mac -Mountain Lion - Messages- Empty buddy list

    Hi Everyone,
    Got a new Macbook air that I updated straigt to Mountain Lion before opening any software.
    Everything is syncked happily under the Icloud, but with "Messages" replacing Ichat, I endup with an empty Buddy list.
    Any reason why AIM and .Mac buddys are not imported ?
    Thanks
    Sophia

    Hi,
    IN the Window menu do you have an item for "Buddies" with the CMD + 1 keystrokes listed ?
    IF so go to Messages > Preferences > General section and untick the item that Gathers the "Accounts" to one list.
    Now from the Window Menu you should have individual CMD + # keystrokes listed fro as many Account (Screen Names and IDs) as are logged in.
    Can you see them ?

  • New Mac with Lion

    I wanted to upgrade to CS5, but was informed it would not work on my old Imac.  So i somehow got a new 27" imac and imported my stuff to it.  CS4 transfered but crashes whenever an image is opened.  I also bought the physical upgrade to CS5 a month ago to upgrade when my new computer was available.  The new computer has OS X Lion installed.  I have the feeling I just spent $2000 for a computer and upgrade that I cannot use.  Is there anyway our of this mess?

    Look at the device list on the new computer.  Somewhere you should see reference to a video card   Might be called a ATI video device or Nvidia. 
    Once you find the make and model go to the manufacturers website and download the latest driver. 
    CS4 and CS5 are two seperate products.  But you are right if CS4 does not work correctly chances are CS5 will have same problems.
    Just because it is new does not mean it is working correctly.  So figure out what is wrong while it is under warranty.
