Trial or demo for Mac OS X Lion...

To improve management and integration with our Active Directory infrastructure; we're thinking of setting up a Lion server on our network in the Apple recommended "Golden Triangle". However, for obvious reasons, we would like to try before we buy. Is there any way of getting a demo or trial license (and software) for Lion? Thanks...

Hi Michael,
I may be missing something, but the URL you posted is just about purchasing volume licensing from Apple.
I find it hard to believe Apple could be so arrogant as to not provide trial or demo licensing for their server OS. That would make them the only OS provider on the planet that doesn't. If that's the stand-point of Apple then I'm not surprised so many organisations are sticking with just Microsoft AD or Linux/SAMBA.
Cheers...

    how to download  iwork for mac os x lion for free?

    The iWork apps are not freeware, and they no longer have Trial Versions as they did before the appearance of the Mac App Store. But, they are so inexpensive that they really don't need trial versions, and they are much more sophisticated than what we would expect to get at no cost. Once you purchase an iWork app on one Mac device, you can download additional copies for your other computers at no additional charge.

    Hello,
    It isn't the fw in Network you want o use or look at, that's for something completely different.
    My first suspect is the Power Adapter on the LaCie has gone.
    At the Apple Icon at top left>About this Mac, then click on More Info, then click on Hardware>Firewire, what is listed there?
    Reset the Firewire bus
    If your Firewire or USB isn't recognizing any device.  A solution which has worked for some whose hard drive became invisible in 10.4 was simply to follow these four steps to reset the Firewire/USB bus:
    1. Shut the machine down.
    2. UNPLUG the power lead to the computer and any firewire/USB drive or devices.
    3. leave it for 10 minutes.
    4. Connect back up and reboot.

  • I have a iMac and a Mac Air. Do I have to pay twice for MAC OS X Lion?

    Do I have to pay twice for MAC OS X Lion for my iMac and MAC Air?

    No. You can install Lion on all systems you own from a single purchase. Either copy the installer before you run it on the first system and transfer it to the other system, or purchase and download it on one system, then log into the App Store on the second system go to the Purchased tab and you'll be able to download the installer again without charge.
    Regards.

  • HT1338 Software Update is not finding latest release (April 3) of Java 2012 001 Update for Mac OS X Lion 10.7.3 on iMac mid-2007 that downloaded automatically on iMac mid-2011

    Software Update is not finding latest release (April 3) of Java 2012 001 Update on my iMac mid-2007, but it downloaded it automatically on my iMac mid-2011 yesterday. Both are running Mac OS X Lion 10.7.3. When I try to download the update manually from Apple on my older iMac, it downloads okay, but when I try to open the dmg file, I get a warning message saying that opening this update may make your computer LESS secure. Do you want to proceed? (I did not).
    Why would Software Update find this update and install it automatically on one iMac and not the other, if they are both running the same version of Mac OS X Lion? I checked the installed software list on my old iMac and the Java update does not appear there. Why would this update make my old iMac less secure?

    Recall that Java is not installed as part of Lion.
    You have to install it (and are asked if you want to) when you first try to run some java stuff.
    Is it possible that the iMac 2007 does not have Java yet?
    Try this: open Terminal (from Utilities) and type java -version (exactly like that, with the space before the hyphen).
    What do you get?
    Consistent with this theory is that the dmg thing gave you the warning - installing java might make your machine less secure because java is a means for bad guys to try to do bad things to your computer.

  • Hi, Know any other ways to quit QuickTime player for Mac OS x Lion, Other than using the command control Q Because it is just frozen and it won't quit the program.

    Alright I started experiencing this problem about a week ago and It will just keep "Finishing..." up the screen recording but it wont let me shut down the mac, Nor will it let me Force quit this program to quit it because it is just annoying there, not being able to close down. If anyone has a solution, please do let me know. Again, I am using a Mac OS X Lion, 2011 Version.

    You may also want to reset the plist of quicktime. Go to your users Library then look for Preferences folder. Look for com.apple.QuicktimePlayer.plist. Drag the plist on the desktop and try using quicktime again. I hope the problem is not the graphic card.

  • Office for Mac issues with Lion

    Since installing Lion, I no longer have access to my Office for Mac Excel, Word, or PowerPoint...is there a simple fix for this?

    Both my wife and I use Excel and Word for work.......would you recommend, then that the upgrade would make sense, as our version is pretty old, anyway?
    If you don't use Outlook then you could use one of the freebies, Open Office or Libre Office are often recommended, but they are not 100% compatible with MS Office, there will be minor formatting changes, and if you use VBA or Excel macros to help in your work you will have to do without them.
    Buy Office 2011 Home & Student for Mac (no Outlook) should be around $100, if you and your wife have individual computers you will need 2 copies.
