Reinstall 10.7 prior to sale, not available from apple store

Hi all
I am going to sell my macbook air and replace with a new one. 
I want to wipe the hard drive - which I have managed to do
I want to reinstall Mac OS X Lion
I follow the instruction to get to the "download from the app store"
I sign in with no problem
Returned message is - this item is temporarily unavailable.....
Any ideas what to do?
Many thanks

What is currently installed? If you restart the machine and hold ALT when the mac makes the noise it should say Macintosh HD and Recovery - boot to recovery and you can Reinstall OS X.

  • Driver software is not available from Apple

    Was using an HP LaserJet 1020 without any problems until last week, when it just gave out and it shows the following error every time: "driver software is not available from Apple". Have tried to install the latest drivers but it won't allow it with the same error.
    Also tried following these instructions http://blog.jayway.com/2010/04/08/hp-laserjet-1020-in-snow-leopard/ but it gets stuck on the third step. The driver list can't be opened and it reads "driver software is not available from Apple" again.
    Any suggestions?

    From what I can tell from online research, HP never claimed the 1020 printer series was compatible with Macs or has ever developed any OS X drivers for them. For instance, from the "Specifications" tab of this product info page:
    Because of that, I'm kind of amazed that you ever got your 1020 to work with any version of OS X, unless some sort of hack or third party driver was involved. If so, you might want to check with the originator of that workaround to see if there are any new developments that would get it working again.

  • TS2446 Please help me,I can not purchase from apple store becuse it is ask me the secirty question in my apple ID but I forget my secrity question

    Hello,
    Please help me,I can not purchase from apple store becuse it is ask me about the secirty question in my apple ID but I forget my secrity question.
    Thanks,

    If you can't remember them then go to Express Lane  and select 'iTunes' from the list of 'products' in the middle of the screen.
    Then select 'iTunes Store', and on the next screen select 'Account Management'
    Next choose 'iTunes Store Account Security' and fill in that you'd like your security questions/answers reset.
    You should get an email reply within about 24 to 48 hours (and check your Spam folder as well as your Inbox). A month or two ago Apple had temporarily suspended the reseting of security question/answers whilst account security processes were improved, but that may now have finished.

  • Email receipt not received from Apple Store.

    Before Christmas, I bought a Macbook Pro from Apple Store in Chicago but have not received the receipt by email as promised.  I'm not in Chicago anymore so I can't go back to the store.  Can anyone suggest how to get a receipt?
    Thanks

    Assuming you've checked any spam filters to make sure the email wasn't trapped, all I can suggest is for you to call them and ask for the receipt to be resent.
    Regards.

    Trying to connect a new HP Laserjet P1102w printer via USB to a MBP running OSX 10.p and fully up to date.  Problems getting the correct driver - does it exist and what are the workarounds?
    Many thanks

    Lots of information on the HP web site for this printer with Mavericks, a driver is available for 10.9. Try this web page and go from there.

  • I erased my drive on Macbook pro, trying to reinstale os x Maverick but it is not available on App store, what should I do?

    I erased my drive on Macbook pro, trying to re-install os x Maverick but it is not available on App store, what should I do?

    Install Yosemite instead of Mavericks. Or you can do the following if your computer supports 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:
    Select Disk Utility from the main menu and click on the Continue button.
    After DU loads select your newly installed 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.
    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.
    This should restore the version of OS X originally pre-installed on the computer.

  • HT204266 My new iPad.    I entered my Kuwait credit card details in the app store and now when I try to install a free app, it says not available in Kuwaiti store. What should I do. I amnew iPad

    I purchased iPad 3. While trying install application,it says it is not available in Kuwaiti store. I entered my credit card details to complete the configuration . What is the issue.

    Even free apps have limits on where they can be downloaded. Either the app maker does not want to release it in Kuwait or (more likely) he/she does not have the rights or permits to release it in Kuwait.

    I live in China, have Dutch nationality, and no US address or Credit Card; how can I have access to products from the US iTunes store, in particular music, when such items are not available from the China iTunes store? In general, what are the differences between countries' iTunes offerings? Does one really need an address and a credit card for any country to be able to access that countries iTunes store? Why these restrictions?

    You cannot.
    You cannot use another countrys itunes store.
    You must be physically locates inside the borders of a country to use that countrys itunes store and a credit card issued in that country with a valid billing address in that country.
    The owners of the distribution rights of movies/music/etc differ by country.  These distributors decide who can sell their content in that country.
    Buy from another source if your countrys itunes store does not carry somehting that you want.

  • Exception "algorithm ARC4 is not available from Provider Cryptix "

    hi all
    i am developing the application in which i am using two encryption/decryption algorithms one is "RC4" and second is "AES(256 bit key)".
    1.first i am taking the credit card number from database which is in
    the encrypted format using 'RC4".
    2.After taking the Credit card number from database i am decrypting them using RC4.
    3. After decrypting them i am encrypting them using "AES(256 bit key") and putting the paymentid and encrypted credit card number in HashMap.

    my program is able to decrypt the only first credit card numbers using RC4 and then encrypt it using AES(as shown in bold above) but it is not able decrypt the rest of the credit card number from the database using "RC4" and it is throwing above exception regarding the "RC4" algorithm .
    can anybody tell me what is reason behind this exception? my guess is the we cann't use the two providers simultaneously.

    Hi Nith,
    Previously I have changed the document dispostal time out to 1 year but the error still occurs.
    Now I change the document inline size from 64 KB to 27 MB (estimated max document size) and see how the LCES behaves.
    I suspect if document size is larger than document inline size then LCES will write to some temp file. After that, user does not process the task for a long time, e.g. 3 days. And during the 3 days, the unix system/ websphere auto clear the temp file. After 3 days when user accesses the task again, LCES will complain "document is not in sending server side any more" ....
    I refer to : http://blogs.adobe.com/livecycle/2008/10/livecycle_tuning_knob_default.html
    For the Document sweep interval, I think, it relates Watch Folder, not this error so I don't change it.
    Regards,
    Anh

    Mountain Lion stopped working with our Canon MX310 Printer? Why is the software not available from the Software Update Server?

    The printer and ICA scanner driver is available from Apple. There is probably some other reason why you cannot get the drivers.
    You can also get the drivers from Canon.
    But reading your post it sounds like you were printing to the MX310 and recently it has stopped printing. Is this the case?
