OSX Lion re-download

OSX Lion will be available only in the mac App Store and it can be redownloaded to multiple macs.
I know that this is possible with songs but if for example, I bought lion and want to share it with another person. Can I just log in to mac app store in their mac and re-download OSX Lion from there? and once Lion is fully downloaded in their mac, can I log out from the mac app store without losing the download?
This is just out of curiosity, I know that some people are trying to get their friends to sync their songs in their ipod, but will this work with apps in mac?

Did both of you read the part "this is just out of curiosity," I am totally against this also. It is only a reference for anyone who tries to google this question.
The price of $29.99 is a deal, given that for it's price you can buy 4 windows 7 home premium softwares. I hope by it's launch apple will patch up some bugs to prevent people to share macapps, because it is unfair for us who pay for the apps.

I bought osx lion for download but I cannot find where it is on the app store. i currently have 10.5.8 so I dont know if that has something to do with it.

You cannot use Lion until you have upgraded to 10.6.8:
Upgrading to Snow Leopard
You can purchase Snow Leopard through the Apple Store: Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard - Apple Store (U.S.). The price is $19.99 plus tax. You will be sent physical media by mail after placing your order.
After you install Snow Leopard you will have to download and install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 to update Snow Leopard to 10.6.8 and give you access to the App Store. Access to the App Store enables you to download Mountain Lion if your computer meets the requirements.
     Snow Leopard General Requirements
       1. Mac computer with an Intel processor
       2. 1GB of memory
       3. 5GB of available disk space
       4. DVD drive for installation
       5. Some features require a compatible Internet service provider;
           fees may apply.
       6. Some features require Apple’s iCloud services; fees and
           terms apply.
You received a coupon you can use and redeem on the App Store to download Lion. There is no App Store in Leopard.

Can OSX Lion be downloaded on my MacBook?

Can OSX Lion be downloaded on my MacBook with 2Ghz Intel Core Duo running on OSX 10.6.8
Lion says Yes, but my MacBook says NO
When I try to download Lion on my MacBook, the AppStore says that a Intel Core Duo is needed.
My McBook has an Intel Core Duo. So, what can be the problem?
Why doesn't it work?

It requires at least a core 2 duo. not core duo

I downloaded OSX Lion and lost access to my Microsoft office programs. How do I get them back?

I just purchased OSX Lion and downloaded the file. I now can not access my microsoft office programs. This is not something I was warned about by the team in the Apple Store at all. Is there a way to recover these programs? ( Word, Excel, Powerpoint)

Do you have Office 2004 or earlier? If so, you'll need to upgrade to a more recent version. Office 2004 is a PowerPC application, and requires Rosetta to run on an Intel Mac. Rosetta isn't included in Lion, so Lion won't run PowerPC apps.
One suggestion I've seen is to put two partitions on your hard drive, with one running Snow Leopard and the other running Lion. Any PowerPC apps would be installed on the Snow Leopard partition, and Universal or Intel apps would be installed on the Lion partition.
If your version of Office is the Intel version, I don't know what to tell you. Hope this helps.

Do you get final cut pro with osx lion

I have Snow Leopard and I want to upgrade to OSX Lion. I have seen how much all of the new applications cost separately and was wonder if you get them all in OSX Lion when downloaded. If you did you would save a lot of money!!
Thanks, please answer.

No, you do not get FCP with Lion, I'm afraid.
All the major apps like FCP, Pages, Numbers etc you have to buy unless you already own them from a previous OS X installation, in which case they will, in most cases, all continue to work. You can check which of your existing apps will/won't work on OS X Lion here:

Restart it... and hold down command+R

Where can I get the Boot Disk for my macbook pro? Downloading OSX Lion is taking too long

I got a macbook pro that was owned by someone for a few days before. I tried to restore to factory setting but now downloading OSX Lion is taking forever with my internet connection. Can anyone help me find a boot Disk to speed up the process?

Apple no longer sells a Lion installation USB flash drive (they did at one time). SO you'll just have to wait for the download to complete. It's best to 'hard-wire' the download - not over wifi but with an Ethernet cable connected directly to your router. That will gain you some speed.
You could also try taking your MBP to a friend's home where they may have a faster Internet service. My download speed is 22+Mbps with my cable company - you may have a friend or neighbor who has something similar? Of course, you are always at the mercy of Apple's servers - sometimes they're just overloaded and a download that should take 20 minutes can take up to an hour and one-half.
Good luck,
Clinton

ps: sorry for my english :S

You apparently are using a version of OS X you did not purchase using your Apple ID. Although you can download Mavericks you cannot install it over your current system. You must repartition your hard drive, then reinstall the version of OS X originally installed when it came new from the factory. That would be on the installer discs that should have come with the computer. If the computer did not come with discs from the factory but OS X was pre-installed (Lion or Mountain Lion) then you can perform an Internet Recovery:
Install Mavericks, Lion/Mountain Lion Using Internet Recovery
Be sure you backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive because the following procedure will remove everything from the hard drive.
Boot to the Internet Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND-OPTION- R keys until a globe appears on the screen. Wait patiently - 15-20 minutes - until the Recovery main menu appears.
Partition and Format the hard drive:
1. Select Disk Utility from the main menu and click on the Continue button.
2. After DU loads select your external hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed. Quit DU and return to the main menu.
Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion. Mavericks: Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion, Mavericks and click on the Install button. Be sure to select the correct drive to use if you have more than one.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.

I have OSX Lion, I want to download and install OSX Maverick, do I have to previously install Mountain Lion ?

Please help me !

No, assuming your iMac can run Mavericks:
OS X Mavericks supports the following Macs that are already running a minimum of Snow Leopard:
iMac (Mid-2007 or later)
MacBook (13-inch Aluminum, Late 2008), (13-inch, Early 2009 or later)
MacBook Pro (13-inch, Mid-2009 or later), (15-inch, Mid/Late 2007 or later), (17-inch, Late 2007 or later)
MacBook Air (Late 2008 or later)
Mac Mini (Early 2009 or later)
Mac Pro (Early 2008 or later)
Xserve (Early 2009)

HELP..I received the message..."403 Forbidden" on the OSX Lion download.

Help... I downloaded the Mac OSX x10.6.8 Snow Leapard update. Then I downloaded the OSX Lion, but with in two seconds I received a message "403 Forbidden". What am I doing wrong?

Make sure that you use a DHCP server to assign the IP automatically instead of defining a fixed IP.<br />
Check the network setup (TCP/IP) settings.

I can't download linked files on mac osx lion what do i do?

i can't download linked files on mac osx lion what do i do?

There have been some reported problems with Apple's servers.
Try this.
Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
I assume you are trying to update via wifi. You can also connect the iPad to your computer and update using iTunes.
 Cheers, Tom

Mac OSX Lion download

I have bought and downloaded OSX Lion on my macbook air, and I love iit, but I want to download it onto my iMac. Is it possible to download Lion to just one account and have Snow Leopard on another on the same computer? Thanks!

No. You need to use a second partition or drive to install or use multiple Mac OS X versions on one machine. Creating an additional partition on the internal drive may interfere with Boot Camp if you are using or intend to use it.

I have re-installed OSX Lion and I lost the iLife suite, but from app store I can't download it because there is only a version for OSX 10.9

hello to everyone! I just performed a clean install of OSX Lion on SSD and do not want to restore any backup. But I have lost the iLife suite (iPhoto, iMovie ..): if I try to download it from the app store, it tells me that I need OSX 10.9.. I tried to search all previous versions but they are only upgrade.
thanks to everyone
