OS X LION APP

OS X LION shows as to be installed in my purchases list, although OS X LION is already installed. What will happen if I press the install button?

After downloading, it did reinstall (the whole process), although no damage done.
I had to update iTunes, Java and Safari.
Still, it shows in the App Store as available for installation .

  • HT201272 Lion App not showing in Purchased History.

    I bought the Lion app and now want to download it on another computer but the app is not showing in my purchased history items on my itunes account, even though I have the receipt via an email as proof of purcahse. How do I re download this app? Anyone any idea? I was told you can use it more than once on other macs with the same itunes accounts. Thanks.

    No, that's not right, not if you're using iTunes. Again, you need to use the App Store application. The only thing you'll see if you're using iTunes are apps for iOS devices.

  • Why is iLife missing from my OS X Lion App download?

    I downloaded and successfully installed the OS X Lion App to enable the software on my Mac. This seemingly has worked and the new Software is active and has taken over my Mac. However iLife is missing and from researching what OS X Lion should come with there seems to be a couple of other 'bits and bobs' missing. Does anyone know what I might need to do or where to go for help?

    I strongly recommend that you purchase iLife 11 on disk. Only by purchasing on disk will you get iDVD 11.
    If you purchase iLife 11 as a download, it will be missing iDVD (and iWeb).
    It is available on eBay and Amazon.

  • Cannot unpause lion app download, its stuck?

    I started to download the lion app and then had it start up and then stop. now i have the icon stuck in my dock on pause. when i go to the app store to check on it , there is only a download button and no pause or resume?

    Then download it again. I suggest you connect your Mac to your internet router with an Ethernet cable as sometimes WiFi will drop out and leave you where you are now.
    If it happens again with the computer WIRED to your router then it is your ISP that is dropping the connection, for whatever reason.

  • Dragging windows in Mountain Lion apps

    I have found that document windows in Preview and TextEdit in Mountain Lion cannot be dragged around if a dialog sheet is open. I haven't tested every Mountain Lion app. Terminal does not have this problem, nor do iTunes or Safari.
    So when I go to save, and I expand the save sheet to column view, and the columns extend off the screen, I can't move the document window. This can leave columns and buttons permanently offscreen.
    My current workaround is:
    - Escape key to cancle the save/open.
    - Move the window.
    - Retry the save or open and see if the offscreen control or display is now onscreen.
    iMac7,1 running 10.8.2.
    I also spent a good 15-20 minutes looking for a bug report page instead of using the community discussions to report this.

    I wouldn't report it as a bug quite yet, though.  Personally, I can't reproduce the issue as you describe it, not in Preview nor in TextEdit.  In both cases, when the sheet opens and I choose to expand the window (using the arrow in the top-right; you call it Column view) the sheet expands and, if a side would move off the screen, pushes the whole window further into the display so that the whole sheet appears.
    But it sounds odd that your sheets are so broad as to move off the side of the display anyway—have you thought about just resizing them so that they aren't so broad?  It's just like resizing any other window.

  • Where is the "Install Mac OS X Lion.app" file?

    I recently downloaded and installed Lion on an iMac that was running Snow Leonard. Everything went well with the exception that the file "Install Mac OS X Lion.app" that's supposed to be in the Applications folder, isn't there. Where is is and how do I get it?

    Very strange! This is what I get when I follow your instructions:

  • HT4480 I put my itunes dollars into itunes and am trying to use it to buy lion on my PC and I cant get it to work.  I guess I did it wrong, is there a way to get this money to use for the lion app?

    Hi, I put my itunes dollars into itunes thinking I could use it to buy the Lion App and when I went to down load it asked for the money then.  Is there a way to take the money from my itunes account?

    Hi..
    "put my itunes dollars" ...  did you redeem an iTunes gift card? I see you used the link about redeming a code.
    Three ways to purchase Lion
    One if from redeeming an iTunes gift card. Two, setting up a credit or debit card account with iTunes associated with your Apple ID, or purchase the thumb drive > OS X Lion USB Thumb Drive - Apple Store (U.S.)
    If you redeemed an iTunes gift card, make sure there is enough funds available. You need to take into account when you purchase apps including Lion, there may be applicable taxes or fees added the original purchase price.

  • I accidentally pressed the "x" button in the "Purchases" tab and now my Lion App is gone

    I accidentally pressed the "x" button in the "Purchases" tab and now my Lion App is gone from the purchases tab.

    It's still accessible. All you've really done is hidden the app. To restore it to the list, go to "Featured" in the Mac Store menu bar and then click "Account" in the side bar on the right, under "Quick Links". The Account Information page will have three sections. The middle section is "iTunes in the Cloud." In that section, you will see "Hidden Purchases: You have hidden X items" and to the right of that bit of text, you will see a clickable link labeled "View Hidden Purchases". Go ahead and click that link. Any apps that you have hidden, deliberately or otherwise, will be listed there. To unhide an app, click the "Unhide button" to the far right of the app's name.
    Yea, it can be disconcerting to see an app disappear unintentionally. Apple might want to consider a menu button for viewing hidden purchases.

  • Compress OS X Mountain Lion.app (10.8.4)

    I have personally lost data by storing it in zip files. There is no such thing as a standard zip file format. There are dozens of variants. Among those are a number of different ways to store Mac resource data and metadata. The Zip variant that OS X creates with the "compress" feature has, itself, changed a couple of times. There is no guarantee that a Mac file put into a zip file will be recoverable in the future.
    If is safe to use Finder's compress, upload, download, decompress for zip files. You can't mix in any other zip tool. Nor will there be any guarantee of extracting the original in five years. The entire zip file format(s) is(are) a hack and hacks have no place in archives.
    The DMG format goes back to OS X 1 (and possibly earlier). I have had more problems with DMG file (probably because of damage resourse forks which OSX no loger uses.) I'm sure Apple has over the years updated this and that to the DMG file format. Way back when in the 90's we had a heck of a time getting a uncorrupted zip files over the internt. That when Apple came out with the DMG file format (I believe it had another name).
    I have never had a problem with DMG files nor with the older IMG files. I have DMG files that are over 10 years old and open with no problem.
    I trust Apple more than Phil Katz.

  • HT1349 Redeem Mountain Lion App Store update code

    I sent my Mountain Lion App Store update code to the wrong e-mail address and can't recover it, but registered the serial number to my newly purchased MacBook Pro. Can I have my code resent to an e-mail I actually use to redeem it and download the new OS?

    When mountain lion app nearly launch a hash mismatch error show up, How can i download it help?

    Did this work for anyone? I am having the same issue with my mbp. I have done everything else that I could this will be my last resort. Very frustrated with this whole issue. There should be no reason why this happened in the first place.

  • Mountain lion app not downloading

    Just bought the mountain lion app for my macbook 6.1 and it says it is downloading but nothing is actually happening. What do I do?

    That's normal. Do you see a loading bar under AppStore on your Dock. As long as there is a loading bar, it eventually moves. If absolutely noothing happens for a half an hour restart your Mac and the DL should pick up from where it left off.

  • Install Mac OS X Lion.app

    I just installed Lion on my Daughters new MBP 15" (Purchased June23/11). So this was a free upgrade, my question is why can't I find the "Install Mac OS X Lion.app" in Applications, or anywhere else on the harddrive. ?

    Hi Gnarly:
    Unfortunately, you won't.  Once Lion is installed it deletes the installer app.
    The solution is to make a copy of the "install Mac OS X Lion", first BEFORE you run it, and save it some where safe, I recommend burning a copy to DVD.
    You may be able to re-download it for free.

    Just to make sure we are on the same page... can you tell me exactly what you mean by this Mountain Lion page?
    Within the Mac App Store, it is the page that comes up when I find the Mountain Lion "app" and go to its details. Screen grab added below.
    If you notice, it says "Download" and not "$19.99". Given that I haven't yet bought Mountain Lion, it should've showed me the price there I suppose.
    Anyway, when I click the Download button, it shows me an error telling me I have to login as my friend's account! Screen grab attached

  • Have a LaCie external 2big RAID drive; two 1T drives in RAID 0 configuration (striped).  Drive works perfectly as one big 2T external disk but Mac Installer (Lion - App Store download

    Have a LaCie external 2big RAID drive; two 1T drives in RAID 0 configuration (striped).  Drive works perfectly as one big 2T external disk but Mac Installer (Lion - App Store download & Snow Leopard DVD) refuse to install OS X Lion or OS X Snow Leopard on RAID drive.
    Previous RAID - two 500g's in RAID 0 had SnowLeopard/Lion installed and worked just fine as bootable drive.
    Help!

    Keep in mind a RAID 1 only protects you from hardware failure of one of the drives. It does not protect you if the hardware raid/chip set decides to take a vacation. Also, if FCP corrupts a file, it is written as corrupt to both drives.
    I'm a big fan of separate but equal. Two drives. One goes to the site, the other remains at the hotel. At night, you back up the site disk to the the hotel disk. If something happens to the computer and the disk at the site the next day, you at least have the material back at the hotel.
    eggs. baskets. that sort of thing.
    good luck.
