New MacBook Pro comes with Mac OS X Lion?

I read here that OS X Lion will come preinstalled on new macs. When I get my MacBook Pro, I´m going to install my old hard drive with all my old content and do a fresh restore, and I was wondering if the restore disks will have OS X Lion on them, or Snow Leopard. If Snow Leopard, will lion be free on the app store like the site said it will be?
               Thanks, Shady

Lion will come pre installed. Move your Data over with Set-Up Assistant on initial boot.

  • Does all new macbook air come with OS X Mountain Lion?

    does all new macbook air come with OS X Mountain Lion? if so, where can i find it? cause if i'm right, i remember saw a mountain lion logo on someones desktop. also, if i have it on my mac, why do I find it in the apple store saying that I need to purchase it for $19.99?

    All new MacBooks Air come with OS X Mountain Lion, as it's the only supported version in Mid 2013 MacBooks Air. Mid 2012 MacBooks Air come with Lion or Mountain Lion, depending on when they were manufactured.

    The Mid 2013 MacBook Air uses a special OS X Mountain Lion version which is different than the version available at the Mac App Store. That's the reason why you see the price at the Mac App Store, but you already have Mountain Lion. If you try to purchase Mountain Lion, the App Store will tell you that it's not compatible with your MacBook Air. To reinstall Mac OS X, you have to use OS X Recovery > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4718

  • Does the macbook pro come with mac os x v10.7 lion

    does the macbook pro come with max os x v10.7 lion?

    It depends when it was manufactured - if you should choose to buy a refurbished unit from Apple , it may still have Snow Leopard (but you would of course qualify for a free upgrade to Lion) or, it would also be possible to buy a new one from a reseller with Snow Leopard if he had the MBP for a while, so it would be adviseable to ask.

  • Will all new macbook pro come with Lion pre-installed?

    I will be purchasing a new MacBook Pro in the next couple of weeks. I presume it will come with OSX Lion pre-installed. I would prefer to have only Snow Leopard installed since I won't be upgrading my other Mac Pro immediately. Will it just be necessary to re-install the Snow Leopard and start from scratch?

    It depends where you buy the mac also if you get a new macbook air it will most undoubtly have LION. But I would say it's safe to assume that most macbooks that have stayed on the shelves at these apple stores have not been opened and updated. So I would think that if you purchased a new mac today unless it was a macbook air it should only have Snow leopard installed on it and they should give you a code to redeem a copy of Lion.

  • Why did my brand new macbook pro come with Snow Leopard instead of Lion?

    I JUST bought a brand new Macbook Pro assuming that it would come with Lion, but it didn't. My brother who just bought an Air the day before me got Lion with his computer. Shouldn't new computers come with new software? I'm confused. Can anyone help me?

    You qualify for a free upgrade if purchased on or after June 6th.  Follow these instructions to download your free upgrade.

  • The new macbook pro come with a free memory slot?

    Hi,
    I am planning to buy a new macbook pro 2.4ghz that come with 2Gb and upgrade to 3Gb or 4Gb
    I would like to know if the computer come with a free slot or if I will loose a module pre-installed (1GB)
    thanks

    great laptop I just got one two days ago...
    You would remove the battery then unscrew the cover and reveal the Memory Slots there are 2 which will have 2 1GB sticks in there if you wanna upgrade to 4GB you will need to remove the 1GB sticks and replace with 2 2GB sticks...

  • Does the new MacBook Pro come with a free warranty?

  • Does the new MacBook Pro come with a disk drive

    Hi
    Does the 13" retina display MacBook pros come fitted with a disc drive ??
    Thanks

    No, it does not. However, when you are customizing the MacBook Pro with Retina display on the Apple Online Store, it gives you the option to purchase an external disc drive, AKA the Apple Super Drive. If you are purchasing from an Apple Retail Store, they sell these there, too, so just ask.
    I hope I answered your question.

  • Doesn't the new macbook pro come with any graphics software?

    I know windows comes with Paint. Does Mac have anything similiar to this?

    I do not know Paint so hard to comment. However GIMP is  freeware compariable to photoshop.
    I too use Graphic Converter and about 5 or 6 others.
    ImageTricks is another freeware.
    hope this helps

  • MacBook Pro crashing with Mac OS X Lion

    How much RAM have you got? plus do you have plenty of HD space?
    My 2007 MBP was noticeably faster after upgrading to Lion (clean install after using Leopard). My max RAM should be 4gb but I've stuck 6 in and that's also helped.

  • Can I move my iWeb from mac-mini to my new macbook pro ? iLife 11 does not have iWeb and I really want to use it to update my website on my new macbook Pro instead of Mac mini

    Can I move my iWeb from mac-mini to my new macbook pro ? iLife 11 does not have iWeb and I really want to use it to update my website on my new macbook Pro instead of Mac mini

    There is no license required for iWeb.  Just do a Wyodor suggested and you'll be ready to go. If you're running Lion however, consider the following:
    In Lion the Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and hit the Enter button - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.
    To open your domain file in Lion or to switch between multiple domain files Cyclosaurus has provided us with the following script that you can make into an Applescript application with Script Editor. Open Script Editor, copy and paste the script below into Script Editor's window and save as an application.
    do shell script "/usr/bin/defaults write com.apple.iWeb iWebDefaultsDocumentPath -boolean no"delay 1
    tell application "iWeb" to activate
    You can download an already compiled version with this link: iWeb Switch Domain.
    Just launch the application, find and select the domain file you want to open and it will open with iWeb. It modifies the iWeb preference file each time it's launched so one can switch between domain files.
    WARNING: iWeb Switch Domain will overwrite an existing Domain.sites2 file if you select to create a new domain in the same folder.  So rename your domain files once they've been created to something other than the default name.

    Sorry that's untrue. I have Photoshop CS3 running on 10.9.
    CS9 or 10? Now you are just making stuff up.
    Adobe claim CS3 will work, with a minor issue…

    The Adobe updater fails to work for me.
    I was prompted to install J6RE which came from Apple, check the Apple support downloads http://support.apple.com/downloads/#java%206
    Sorry can't provide a direct link, it was just a dumb 'You need … please click install' dialog.
    I think the 10.9 java updater is installing version 7.
