No, that's not true. This is one of the 'benefits' of Lion (if you want to see it that way). The OS is on a separate partition and you can reinstall the OS without another physical drive.
What you do is reboot the computer while holding down the 'option' key. From the list of disks that show up (you can release the 'option' key now), choose 'Recovery HD'.
When you get to what looks like a Desktop, choose 'Reinstall OS X Lion'.  Shortly after this, you will get asked for your Apple ID. Put your own Apple ID in the box and everything should proceed smoothly from there.

  • How to change your nickname in game centre using macbook pro OSX Yosemite

    I want to change my nickname in game centre but don't know where to go so pls if anyone could help me out.

    You can change your computer name in System Preferences (found under the Apple menu) in the Sharing pane. At the top of the pane it will say Computer Name: PowerBook G4 15".
    Note that the name can contain spaces. Mine, for example, is Ministry of Magic.
    Delete the current name and enter the new name. Note that you do not have to click the edit button out to the right. That is only useful if you want to change the bonjour address on your local subnet to be something different from NewComputerName.local (where NewComputerName is the new name you just changed it to.
    Hope this helps. Good luck.

  • How to change IMessage and FaceTime phone number on Macbook Air?

    So I've just made the switch over to Apple computers from my forever  relationship with Windows. I discovered that I can use IMessage and Factime on here but it links to not my Iphone, but to my father's whose is supposed to be on another itunes account but I'm not really sure. Sometimes IMessage in my Macbook will come across as my number, others my Dad's. My Iphone is on the itunes account that my Macbook is on but how do I make it so that the Imessage and Facetime go ONLY through MY phone? Sorry if this is confusing I'm not really sure what I should clarify. Thanks in advance!

    Also, I have the original iPad and the adapter fits my iPhones as well so I only need one charger for all.  I'm not sure if this is still true with the latest generation iPad but you could check.
    You might want to get an ungrounded adapter as well in the event you need it.

  • How to change apple id on iPhone. Wife and I have same apple ID.  Get each others iMessages. want to put her on another cloud with different id.

    How to change apple id on iPhone? Wife and I have same apple ID which causes me to get her iMessages instead of her. I also get all her pics on my phone and I don't want them.  We need to change her apple ID without causing my ID and cloud to be closed.

    Have her create a new ID.   Here:  https://appleid.apple.com/
    Have her log out of iMessage/Facetime/iCloud on her device.   Now have her use the new ID she has created.
    That should keep the 2 of you separated, except for iTunes purchases.   You can share that ID in a family up to 5 devices.

    how to change Appl ID in iPhone4
    <Email Edited By Host>

    Settings > iTunes and App Stores > tap on the Apple ID that is displayed then sign out.
    Then sign in with the apple ID you want to use.
    Keep in mind all purchased items will remain associated with the Apple ID that was used to purchase them. If you are not signed in to that Apple ID when trying to update an app you will be asked for that Apple ID and password.

  • How to change Apple id in iCloud @ device

Please advise how to change Apple ID in iCloud's settings in iPhone itself.

    It worked for me too!  Thanks!  I was very frustrated!

  • HT5621 How do I change the Apple ID stored on my MacBook Air?  I have changed my Apple ID on the Apple ID website, but both my MacBook Air and my iMac show the old Apple ID when accessing iCloud.

    How do I change the Apple ID that is stored on my MacBook Air.  I have changed my Apple ID on the Apple ID website but both my MacBook Air and my iMac show the old Apple ID when accessing iCloud.

    I had this problem on my iMac and fixed it after a  half hour of frustrated trying.  I had changed my Apple ID on my iPad mini while traveling.  When I finally got back home after a few months, I couldn't  log in to iTunes on my iMac.  The old Apple ID was still being used on my iMac.  I tried just highlighting it and deleting it and typing in my new Apple ID.  No dice. The login just defaulted to my old Apple ID.  I tried clicking on the drop down menu that appears when you right right click your Apple ID  that appears at the top of the page after highlighting the 'iTunes Store" in the left side list.  I saw "account" so I clicked on that.  The "account" settings on my iMac showed my new Apple ID but my iMac wouldn't use it. It just kept defaulting to my old ID. I shut down.  I logged back in.  Same result.  Finally I right clicked the same drop down menu and saw "sign out" at the bottom of the list.  Even though I was not signed in to iTunes, I clicked "sign out".  My next log in to iTunes showed my Apple ID as blank and I was able to type in my new ID.  Hope this helps.
    I am a long time 20 year Microsoft user. I am somewhat ( 1 year) new to Apple. With Microsoft, I found that fixing problems was clunky and complex, but there was always a post somewhere that explained the fix. Microsoft's explanations stated even the most obvious fact. Even if everyone knew that the sky was blue, Microsoft's instructions would still tell you that the sky was blue.  With Apple, I find that the obvious is sometimes not so obvious.  But the fix is almost always easy once you find it, without many of the elaborate maneuvers needed in Windows.
