New MacBook Pro with Lion

Ok So I just picked up my new MacBookPro from my VAR and was hoping to just merge all my data from an earlier Macbook Pro , I`m running SL on the old machine and the new New comes with LION . I just called apple support to see if I could boot from my SL DVD and do a clean install, I was told NO I cannot.
Anything that bothers me is the New MacBookPro came with only installed software? weird no DVD`s at all. It was a sealed box with even the outer shipping box enclosed. Solution to get this running with Lion?

Connect the two computers with a Firewire cable. Boot the old computer into Target Disk Mode - Transferring files between two computers using FireWire. Boot the new computer for the first time. It will startup to the Setup Assistant. You will have an option to transfer files from another Mac or disk drive. That option will let you transfer your Home folder, third-party applications and support files, and network preferences.

Thanks a lot i followed the instructions for safe mode (i found out that i was pressing the C button after restarting) i did whats written there but the repair couldn't be performed so in addition i needed to re-formate the HD so i erased the volume and then repaired the disk--> quite disk utilities --> start the installation from the installation DVD.
Thanks really appreciating your help

I have a new MacBook Pro with Lion installed and I want to know if I can partition the HD so that I can install & run Snow Leopard OS 10.6.8?

Most likely won't run SL unless it's one that was released before Lion went public. Color SL gone from new Macs.

I can't watch YouTube videos on my brand new MacBook Pro with Lion. It says I need to download Adobe Flash Player but that won't install. Help!

The same thing happens to me, Safari asks me to update the Adobe FlasPlayer, I download, start the installation process, ask me my username and password in order to install, then see a window where I choose if I want to always install the updates , or ask first, or not inslate updates, and at this point it is not progress, I can not cancel the process, I turn off and turn on my machine.
What can I do ..??

New Macbook Pro with Lion, how best to migrate?

Hi All
I'm currently running a Macbook with Snow Leopard, but tomorrow I'll be ordering a new Macbook Pro.
What is the best way to migrate my old computer files over to the Macbook Pro given that it will be loaded with Lion?
I will have the Macbook and an up to date time machine back up.
Thanks in advance.

Connect the two computers with a Firewire cable. Boot the old computer into Target Disk Mode - Transferring files between two computers using FireWire. Boot the new computer for the first time.

How can I install Final Cut Studio 2 on my new MacBook Pro with Lion?

I just purchased and received a new 15" MacBook Pro (non-retina) last week. I need to install Final Cut Studio 2 on this computer. I have researched this and found that I need to install Rosetta from the Snow Leopard DVD in order to do this. This is the first Mac I've bought ( although I've been working with them for years), so I don't have a Snow Leopard DVD. I am a high school teacher and we use FCS 2 for my classes so buying FCP X is not a viable option for me since I teach FCP 6. The iMacs we use in school run Leopard and were never upgraded to Snow Leopard (budget cuts and all), so I can't even borrow one from my district.
Does anyone know how I can obtain Rosetta? Or another way to install this without it?
Thank you ! :)

There is no way to add Rosetta support because it is not supported by OS X Lion at system level. This has been documented before the release of OS X Lion by itself.
If you really need Final Cut Studio 2, I would return your computer if possible, and purchase a Mac that is capable of running Snow Leopard (all 2010 models, early 2011 MBP and some other 2011 models)

New Macbook Pro with Lion, installed Aperture - all photos disappear

Just bought a MacBook Pro:
2.2 GHz Intel Core i7
4GB 1333 MHz DDR3
AMD Radeon HD 6750M 1024 MB
Mac OS X Lion 10.7.1
My old computer crashed so I transfered a folder full of photos to my computer inside of a Documents file. Some of these photos came from my previous version of iPhoto and some of the were not imported into any program at all. I want to clean and organize my photos before importing them into any program. I do not wish to create extra clutter on my computer by importing them at this time, being that I have a very clean machine at this time.
So, I got Aperture, newest version (software updated as of this morning) and was planning to import my photos once I organized all of them.
However, now that I've installed Aperture, the folder of my pictures that is located in My Documents is now reading that there are (0) photos, so I can't even organize them. Also, if I run Aperture and try to import a photo, it doesn't recognize that any photos exist.
Now, if I look up All My Files in the Finder window, it shows that I do infact have over 9k Images, most of these being my photos that are not showing up in their file folder. Some of these however are not conventional photos but are PDFs that I do not wish to hang out in any photo organizing/editing program.
So, why can't I see my photos so I can organize them via my Finder folder in My Documents when I recovered them from my old computer?
They were never imported into my new computer's iPhoto, nor were they ever imported into my new computer's Aperture. But I can all of them in the All My Files?
Any help would be appreciated.

I was able to find my photos, they were strangly refiled in a different file folder.
Seems like Aperture is still having troubles populating the images, but I find if I open and close import, or close and repoen Aperture, then the photos will populate.
Buggy though for sure.

Cannot install Xcode4 on very new MacBook Pro with Lion 10.7.2

Hello,
I am trying to install Oracle DB 10g on my brand new Mac OS X 10.7.2 Lion Mac Book Pro.
One of the Oracle requirements is to have either the:
A) Dec 2003 gccLongBranchTools update installed; or
B) install XCode Tools 1.2 or higher, which includes the correct version of gcc
Well, when I try to install XCode 4 with Mac OS X and iOS SDK's I got 2 errors:
1. an error regarding permissions on sudoers which appears to have been fixed by running Disk Utility - Repair Permissions - at least it's not appearing in the install.log file at this time
2. and the other which is more of a mystery to me, it reads
PackageKit: Install Failed: Error Domain=PKInstallErrorDomain Code=110 "An error occurred while extracting files from the package “iPhoneSDK5_0.pkg”." UserInfo=0x7fdf8a4d2190 {NSLocalizedDescription=An error occurred while extracting files from the package “iPhoneSDK5_0.pkg”., NSFilePath=/var/folders/zz/zyxvpxvq6csfxvn_n0000000000000/Cleanup At Startup/PKInstallSandbox-tmp/Root, NSURL=file://localhost/Applications/Install%20Xcode.app/Contents/Resources/Pack ages/iPhoneSDK5_0.pkg, PKInstallPackageIdentifier=com.apple.pkg.iPhoneSDK5_0, NSUnderlyingError=0x7fdf882e8d40 "The file couldn’t be opened because it isn’t in the correct format."} {
I have no idea how to deal with this error or why it would be so. Needless to say, it stops the entire install. I downloaded the latest version of XCode just this morning.
I also thought of trying to install GCC by itself but the info on their site seems to be dated back to Darwin and not sure if the version they have there is applicable to Lion, plus I haven't done "MAKE" or any of the build type process since college. Would like to avoid this approach if possible.
Can anyone offer any solutions. I need to get going on Oracle review!
Regards,
Gerald

KT,
Should have said - 4.2.1 is the version. I did another download while I was waiting for replies on this thread and am going to give it another shot.
Not running anti-virus yet - brand newmachine so haven't installed everything. 400gb free, hard drive passes any checks I've run on it. I haven't looked outside to see the moon yet so not sure of that last one.
Why would I want to create a new user to run the freshly downloaded installer??

I can't sync my new MacBook Pro with iPhone

I got a new MacBook Pro with Lion OS and cannot make it sync to my iPhone G3

Can you be a little more specific? Do you mean you have set the sync options on the Device pages, Clicked Sync and it does not work, or you can't find the sync pages.

Connect my new Macbook Pro with Mountain Lion to my HP PhotoSmart B210

How can I connect my new MacBook Pro with Mountain Lion to my hp b210 printer? My printer is about 1.5 years old and works wirelessly just fine with my PC. I just switched to mac. The printer is supposed to be airprint compatible according to HP. HP has no software drivers for me to download. Instead they say to use Mac Software Update to get the software. However, there are no updates when I try that. I have tried adding the printer manually using it's IP address and can print a test page, but when I try to print using an application on the Mac it cannot find the printer or says the printer is in use. Help!!!

Are you sure it has no usb port?

When trying to update getting (error surle error domain error-1100). It started yesterday, any help would be great. I have Mountain Lion 10.8.1 on a new macbook pro with retina display.

There are many people suffering from this problem right now (including me). It appears to be a server issue. Just wait and try checking for updates again tomorrow.
Some things I have heard indicate that this may be a regional problem, though what parts of the world are affected I don't know yet. A few people have been helped by deleting the following preference file (paste the path into the Go -> Go to Folder window in the Finder to locate it), though most have not:
~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.SoftwareUpdate.plist
Note that if you are trying to download iTunes 10.7, that can be found here:
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1576
Also, note that there is no reason to be anxious to get it, as the only thing added in iTunes 10.7 is compatibility with iOS 6, which will not be available until the 19th, and the new iPhone, which will not be available until later as well. The new iTunes that was announced is iTunes 11, which is also not yet available.

NicholasLiban -
When you use the Lion restore as described, it does a fresh install on the hard drive that you can select at the beginning of the process. This provides a complete install of the very latest version of Lion, including the recovery partition. The drive that you choose for the installation destination winds up like what you would have on a brand new computer from Apple.
