Trying to re-install lion using command -R, i get a lock symbol

trying to re-install lion , im getting lock symbol when i tyr to use command-R....anyone know what that is, and how to recover the password?

Well, I'm trying to figure out how you're doing this from a recovery disk. The only way to reinstall Mountain Lion is through the Recovery HD in the computer. Hold Cmd/R as you are starting up the computer and keep holding it. Eventually you'll get a screen asking you to select the language. Hit continue to select english and you'll get a Mac OS X Utilities Menu with the second option down being reinstall OS X.

Using command creates a copy.
If you want to just move a file, click on it, hold it and drag it to the new location.

Installed Lion. Now can't get latest update to iPhoto to install.

When all else fails... RESTART and try again.
Luckily, there is always more than one way to download/install software...

I want to format my hard drive and install Lion, using Snow Leopard at the moment.

I'm running Snow Leopard at the moment, and would like to install Lion.
But I want to wipe my hard drive clean before doing so, is there a way of formating the hard drive as you install the downloaded lion?
Thanks for ur answers.

Not that I'm aware of. You can, however, grab the installer file and create a bootable USB thumb drive after downloading Lion and BEFORE you install it. Read here on how to do this.
After downloading, I would let it install. Then reboot with the USB thumb drive, use Disk Utilities to wipe the drive and then install Lion from the thumb drive. Do a backup first.

Why am i getting poor quality photo prints after installing lion using canon pixma 6120?

After installing Lion, I began experiencing poor quality photo prints on my Canon Pixma 6120 printer. Prior to Lion, my picture prints were all high quality. Now, anything black in the picture is faded.

Lion should not cause the blacks to print faded. The printer drivers used by Snow Leopard and Leopard are the same version as that used by Lion.
For starters I suggest you check that you have the latest version installed. This Apple KB article shows the MG6100 series has v10.51.2.0 as the latest version.
I also recommend you do a Nozzle test print. This can be executed from the MG6120 control panel or via the Printer Utilties window (via Print & Scan, select the printer and then open Options & Supplies and then select the Utilties tab).
If the nozzle test print is okay but the blacks still look faded when printing photos (note the printer has two black ink tanks - one for photos and one for text) then try a reset of the printing system. This will remove the MG6120 from the Print & Scan pane but not the supporting drivers. So you will only have to add the printer again.

Re-install lion using Apple Thumb drive

I am having some problems with the sleep fucntion and want to consider a re-install of Lion as a way to correct the problem.
I have a MacBook Pro, bought June 2011. I upgraded from Snow Leopard using the Apple Thumb drive.
Pretty much all advice for installing and re-installing Lion refers either to the downloaded version for the App Store or using a recovery file produced by the user after installation.
I am just wanting straighforward guidance on the process for doing a re-install of Lion using the Thumb drive or whatever process is proper.
I have a Time Machine set up with a Time Capsule. Not really sure if this could end up causing me more troubles using the stroed data/files. It may be those which are causing the troubles.
If necessary,I am fully prepared to use an external drive to capture my files (photos, music and iWork stuff) and then use these as I need to for restoring data.
Bottom line: how do I do a re-install of Lion using a MBP with an upgrade to Lion from Snow Leopard from a thumb drive from Apple?

Just plug in the thimb drive and reboot the unit. After you hear the startup sound press and hold the "Options" key. You willl get a one time boot screen where you can select the drive to boot to. Select the USB thumb drive.

I am trying to download, install, and use Lightroom and Photoshop...

I just want the straight out garden variety programs, install on hard drive, run offline - on local PC only - pay the price for a perpetual license, never have to connect this computer to the internet again. But I keep being railroaded into buying packages, creative clouds, monthly billing, behance accounts and so on and so on...
Am I misunderstanding the products? I used these a few years ago, they were quite simple and straightforward back then.

You can buy Photoshop CS6 and Lightroom 5 as perpetual licenses. Pay once, own forever (provided you've got the hardware and operating system to run them).
Photoshop CS6

I've re-installed Lion using the cmd-r/boot re-install option and now all iLife apps are missing, how do I get them back?

Hi Folks,
after about 10 hours of usage, my new (and I mean new and expensive) MacBook Pro refused to boot. The support folks were good and as I hadn't yet created and files on the machine suggested I just did (as suggested by apple) a wipe and re-install as described in the subject line.
Now I have no iPhoto, no iDVD and a few other apps I don't really care about. What can I do to get them back.
please help, loseing the will to live here after trawling 2 hours of old posts
best regards,
Sam.

Hi Twitty,
hmm, I knew I was missing something fairly obvious. I went into AppStore and the apps were there with an "accept" option rather than a price. I've started the download.
I've no idea if this means I'll be charged or not. I never got a screen with a price on it so hopefully not.
thanks for your quick response,
Sam.

Do you have another drive you can install SL on? If so, you can try installing SL on a 2nd drive, boot from that drive and use Migration Assistant to move your Apps and Data back from your Lion disk. I have not tried this, but see no reason why it should not work.
