Restoring Mac book Pro to Lion

I am trying to restore my macbook pro to the Factory default.. I go through the process to restore Lyon and when i enter the apple ID I get the message that says that I need to use an apple ID that was used to purchase Lion. Is it possible to restore with a different apple ID? Thanks

Siggersh,
if you look at the left-hand “side” of your grey Mac OS X Install DVD, does it say
13-inch
MacBook Pro
in large type? If it doesn’t, what does it have there? If you look at the lower-left “corner” of that DVD, you’ll see a few lines of small type with this pattern:
Mac OS version Mac_OS_X_version
Disc version disc_version
2Z691-digits-A
What are its values for Mac_OS_X_version, disc_version, and digits? The kernel version in your photo suggests that that disc is for Leopard rather than for Snow Leopard; if that’s the case, then that disc does not go with an Early 2011 MacBook Pro, and those values will help to identify which model Mac it does go with.

My 3G unlocked iPhone is not syncing mail or contacts from my mac book pro, using Lion. I am able to get a calendars and music, only. I get the message that I need to reset the password which I have done 3x's on the phone and on the Apple server.

Good to know that, but what can I do to get the mail and contacts downloaded from Icloud onto my Iphone? I am told that the password needs to be reset and I have erased and reset it 3x's already? Should I Restore All Settings or Restore Network Settings or will that result in a situation where I have to have it re-unlocked again? GRACIAS!

Clone backup your data to two separate locations, then we can look at why.

Using multiple desktops with a 4 finger swipe on a Mac Book Pro running Lion- is there a way that I can allow Safari open on several but not all?? Looks like I can set it for one but not others. All, one, or nothing

Hey Eric,
Thanks for taking the time. Unfortunately no that does not solve it. Same as swipe it will get me there and it will show separate programs spaced out. The issue I am having is that all my open word files are bunched up in a pile on top of each other. I can see the edges of each one but I want them to be separated from each other enough that I can visually identify what file is what.
Again, thanks for trying, it is appreciated.

I transferred data from my external hard drive to my restored Mac Book Pro via migration assistant and now my external hard drive in time capsule has red minus signs. How do I get rid of that without getting rid of any of my data?

I used Migration Assistant to transfer my data from my external hard drive via Time Capsule to my restored Mac Book Pro. When I now go into Time Capsule I there are red minus signs in the corner of all the folders that are contained in my back up. How do I get rid of this and access my previous back-ups?

Select the drive and Finder > Get info and at the bottom "ignore permissions on this volume"
You can copy the files, but the ownership on the files still belongs to the other user account, once your done copying, then perform a #6 Reset Users Permissions and that will set all the ownership to that account.
..Step by Step to fix your Mac
Another method is to copy the entire folder, then change it's permissions.

How can i get my nikon software to work on my new mac book pro with lion

can anyone help me get my software installed
i need this software to work immediately because without it i am unable to work that is the programs on how i process my photographs and without it i cannot make any money
thank you

That seems to be supported only up through 10.5.7 and probably needs Rosetta for it to run.
Rosetta is not included in 10.7.
If this is the case, you may need to partition your hard drive, install Windows on it, and use that partition for your work.

I have a mac book pro running Lion 10.7.4 and every time I use Google Earth The computer crashes by lowering a black curtain and then asking me to hold the power button down until it closes and press the power button again to restart it. Can I fix this?

I have a mac book pro running Lion 10.7.4 and every time I use Google Earth The computer crashes by lowering a black curtain and then asking me to hold the power button down until it closes and press the power button again to restart it. Can I fix this? It bugs me when I'm looking at real estate.

I really don't have an answer for that one. I guess that while trying to get things working correctly, I would use the most basic monitor I had which in your case would be the Eizon using the Thunderbolt port and adaptor.
When you boot into Safe Mode the startup is quite slow, but you should get the Apple logo and then the spinning gear below it (release the SHIFT key when it appears.) Then after a little more time you should see a gray progress bar appear below the spinning gear. When that disappears the computer will startup to a login screen.

Hello, I have an Apple TV, and a Mac Book Pro X Lion 10.7.5 bought it on March 2012. But there is no AirPlay how is it possible? Where do i get it?

Hello, I have an Apple TV, and a Mac Book Pro X Lion 10.7.5 bought it on March 2012. But there is no AirPlay how is it possible? Where do i get it?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
AirPlay Mirroring requires a second-generation Apple TV or later, OS X 10.8 or better and is supported on the following Mac models: iMac (Mid 2011 or newer), Mac mini (Mid 2011 or newer), MacBook Air (Mid 2011 or newer), and MacBook Pro (Early 2011 or newer). You can see which Mac you have and which operating system you are using by selecting 'About this Mac' from the Apple menu in the top left corner of your Mac and selecting the 'More Info' button.

Just upgraded mac book pro to lion also needed a new printer printer says in has AirPrint but does not support lion ? I need the AirPrint because of my iPad help please ?

Just upgraded my mac book pro to the lion operating system, the next day my printer broke. Went to buy a new printer that supports AirPrint because I also have an iPad ( my old printer did NOT support AirPrint ). The printer I bought is an HP that said it supported AirPrint, when I installed the printer and try to run the installation software it said the printer did not support lion. Any answers or suggestions, I would LOVE to be able to finally print from my iPad.

Check with HP whether the printer and/or printer driver is compatible with Lion. Any hint as to what printer?

Frequent Panic Attacks for my Mac Book Pro Mountain Lion 10.8.5

Hi All,
My mac book pro with OSX mountain lion 10.8.5 has kernel panic attacks randomly couple of times a day.
I have no idea why or when it gets trigerred. I dont have any third party drivers or extensions installed (except for upgrading to 16gigs of memory).
I have already reimaged my hard-disk ( took a apple genius appointment and they did it for me).
But issue persists after that.
Can anyone look at the panic report below and tell me what the issue could be ?
