When will new Macs (MacBook Pros) be shipped with Lion?

When will newly ordered Macs be shipped with Lion pre-installed?

If not today, within the week, I'd imagine.

HT201257 Hi -- I have a late 2011 13" macbook pro that shipped with and runs Lion. Unfortunately, I do not have the install disks with me. Holding down D key does nothing. What can I do?

How can I run the hardware test on a macbook pro that SHIPPED with lion (never had an earlier OS) without access to the install disks? I am away from them and home for several months. Holding down the D key does nothing.

Press "Option" and "D" key together.
"Restart your computer, holding down the “D” key while the computer restarts.After your computer restarts, you should see the Apple Hardware Test chooser screen. If you don’t, Apple Hardware Test may not be available on your computer. You may be able to start Apple Hardware Test from the Internet. Reconnect your computer to the network, and then restart your computer while holding down both the Option and “D” keys."

I have installed Windows 7 into my Macbook Pro 15 inch with Lions as operating system. (current model with 2.2 GHz i7 processor, 500 GB HD ad 5400 rpm). When I started with boot camp, the system promped me to create a disc, which I presume is for the drivers for windows 7. Now windows is intalled. What do I do with the CD that the system created for me? Also, why does the system automatically start in Win7 instead of Lion. I need to pression the option key to have it start in OS X. I thought it was supposed to be the opposite.

Insert it while you are in Windows, if it does not autostart run setup.exe.
Choose your startup disk using Apple>System Preferences>Startup Disk (in OSX) or Control Panel>Boot Camp>Startup Disk (in Windows)

Did anyone else get a brand new mac book pro that came with items already in the favorites tab?

just bought a brand new mac book pro went online and noticed that there were already items saved to favorites, strange things about pumpkin cheesecake.

You could have purchased a refurbished computer.
Take it back and voice your concern and where ever you purchased it from will probably swap it out for you

My new mac book pro turns off with out my will

I bought a macbook pro17" 2,33 (3gb ram , 100SD@7200rpm)in 12th of june and since then it has a big problem!! It suddenly stops working and turns off without my will !! after that turns on and sometimes freezes with the white screen with apple logo!! I run hardware test and it found no. 4/mem4/40000000jgpa.:oxbd644c10 and 4/mem4/40000000jgpa.:1c7688cc !! It;s a big problem and I am going to get at least a new one..I can't take it this repaired .I paid about 3400 usd and i am extremely dissapointed!!

With the right approach, you may still be able to have your MacBook Pro designated as Dead On Arrival (DOA). Otherwise, consider doing some basic repair steps as listed below. From my previous post:
Repairing Permissions and/or Resetting the Power Management Unit (PMU) is known to resolve certain anomalies or conditions, and may help with your symptom. Neither process will compromise or harm anything with your Mac so it’s worth a shot.
Repair Permissions:
Go to: Applications/Utilities/Disk Utility
Select: your Hard Drive
Select: the First Aid tab
Select: Repair Permissions
Resetting the Power Management Unit (PMU)
If the computer is on, turn it off.
Disconnect the AC Adapter and remove the computer's battery.
Press and hold down the power button for 5 seconds and then release the button.
Reconnect the battery and AC Adapter.
Press the Power button to restart the computer.

New macbook pro 2012 preinstalled with lion can't be reinstalled?

Hi everyone,
I'm new to mac os x and I just bought a new macbook pro 13" four days ago which came preinstalled with mac os x lion. I tried to do a clean install on the third day to experience doing it myself for the first time. here's what I did:
1st try
@DU I perform erase Macintosh HD, set the partition table to GUID, partitioned the drive,
exit DU and then selected reinstall mac os x from the mac os x utilities,
I just clicked continue, continue, then it did some eligibility checking and verification.
after a while the dialog window showed this message " This version of Mac OS X 10.7 cannot be installed on this computer."
there's no other option below than quit.
2nd try
restarted macbook then pressed down option+command+r
the globe logo came out. I connected to my home wifi and a progress bar indicator came out. after the progress bar completed, the Mac os x utilities came out.
I selected reinstall mac os x from the mac ox x util. I clicked on continue, continue.. an eligibility and verification followed and after a while I got the same message saying "This version of Mac OS X 10.7 cannot be installed on this computer."
3rd try
I restarted macbook again and pressed down option+command+r
I did the steps from the 1st try again but I still get the same message "This version of Mac OS X 10.7 cannot be installed on this computer."
Can anyone help me out on how to reinstall Lion? or did I missed out anything? or should I send this macbook for repair? or just return it?
appreciate any advice...thanks.

I remember something similar happening when OS X Lion was first released. At that time, the mid-2011 MacBook Air hit the store shelves and many users could not do a full reinstall from the Apple Servers. The reason, was that the MacBook Air had a specialized version of OS X Lion with a build number that has 4 numbers (i.e. build 11AXXXX) following the OS release number. In contrast, the release version of OS X at the time was 11A511 which uses 2 or 3 numbers and is a universal version of OS X that can be used by any Mac. The reason why you are experiencing problems installing OS X Lion is because you got the newest MacBook Pro which has a specialized build of OS X Lion and as in previous cases, it has 4 numbers meaning that it is a specialized version of OS X.
You appear to be running the following version of OS X Lion:
As you can see, it's an exclusive and optimized version of OS X for your MacBook. Your only hope is that Apple releases the OS X 10.7.5 release which most likely be universal with all Macs.
I suggest going to the Genius Bar to sort things out.
Hope my little explanation helps.

New mac book pro didn't include lion

Hi I was wondering why the new macbook pro 13'' I just purchased last week didn't come with OS X Lion pre-installed. Am I expected to pay the $30 for the install, if so what was the point of waiting to buy this one.

Read here > Apple - OS X Lion - Get up to date.
"Customers who purchase a qualifying new Mac Computeror an Apple Certified Refurbished computer from the Apple Online Store on or after July 21, 2011 that does not include OS X Lion can upgrade to OS X Lion for free."
Make sure and backup your important files before upgrading.

Will the 13' Macbook Pro do well with Heavy Video editing?

Hello,
      I'm a grade 13 High School student who is in his last 4 months of High School. I'm looking to purchase the 13' Macbook Pro (Without Retina Display), with the 2.9Ghz Processor, and 8GBs of RAM. I will be doing Film, Animation, and all the normal things people do on laptops such as YouTube, Facebook, and others. I will be using very Graphic intensive programs such as Adobe After Effects, and Motion 5. I plan to get ether the 500GB SATA Hard Disc Drive, or the 1TB Hard Disc Drive. SSDs are not in my price point. Which would you recomend to be the better deal?
     Can this computer keep up with my needs? I was planning on getting the 15', but now the Apple Online Store no longer hold them, oh well. I would like ot have this computer for a long time after College as well. How is it's durrability? Also, since it's a Laptop, how long does the battery last while using programs like what I specified above?
     I thank you everyone for helping me out with these questions I have!

I have been using late 2008 MacBook(2.0GHz Core 2 Duo, 8GB RAM, 9400M graphics) which running Yosemite 10.10.1 as sub machine which works fine so far.
1,2) Yes, you can back up bootable clone with Carbon Copy Cloner or Super Duper! or Disk Utility on external drive, and if you don't like Yosemite, you can back to 10.9.5 from it anytime you want(boot from external drive, then restore previous system from external drive with Carbon Copy Cloner or SuperDuper! or Disk Utility on internal disk).
3) I dont connect iPhone to my MacBook, though I think your MacBook Pro can handle it.

Will my 2006 macbook pro run ok with one fan?

i have an 2006 macbook pro and the right fan started to sound like a lawn mower. I opened her up, took apart the fan, cleaned it and put i back together and it still sounded like **** so i opened it up again and disconnected the fan...my question is...will my computer be ok with running on one fan for a bit until i get a replacement

Install istat pro and monitor the temperature.

No video, games, Skype and such and the MBP may survive.
Remember, the Apple engineers installed two fans for a reason.
Ciao.

Bought a new Apple Macbook Air. it came with Lion. Why?

Hi there,
i just bought a new MBA from an official Apple Reseller in Greece. Although they advertise that the MBA comes with Mountain Lion preinstalled, my MBA came with Lion... Why? could anyone explain this to me? When i asked an guy at the store he did not have an idea... of course he did not came with a solution as well... How do i claim a reddem if that

I was trying all morning to get in communication with the Apple Support tel no in Greece without a resunl. Kept on getting ''wrong number'' message... So i tried to come up with a solution with the Official Apple Reseller from where i bought my MBA. At first when i described my situation to the first employee, he was staring at me like i was from another galaxy... so i asked for the director manager... He showed up eventuallly. When i spoked with him he told my how sorry he was, and that there was no way to check the version of osx preinstalled on MBA's. So he offered me an iTunes gift card of 30 euros(2 of 15 euros each) to download ML myself from the Mac Appstore. So everything turned out perfect for me...
Happy Apple customer...

MacBook Pro 13.3in with Lion OS X?

I purchased a MacBook Pro 13.3 in and configured it with a 2.7 GHz Dual-Core Intel i7 processor, 8GB of RAM, and a 750 GB hard drive on August 7th. It's in Shanghai, China right now and should arrive on August 16th, but I wanted to know will it come with Lion OS X preinstalled? Or will I have to upgrade it from Snow Leopard?

Hi Patty,
I'm pretty certain it will come with Lion installed, but I'm positive you'll know about 30 seconds after you press the power button.

Impossible to download Mavericks on a mac book pro 15'' 2008 with lion

I cannot download Mavericks on my mac book pro. I cleaned it with Onyx, repared the permissions, gave my id in App store, which was recognized, deactivated my Intego Antivirus, no way.
It works on a mac mini with snow leopard, but it does'nt put the file under the downloads so that I can copy it.
My Mac is given as compatible with Mavericks.
I found much messages on Internet about analogous problems, but no fix.
Is Apple aware of this? Is anybody knowing a remedy?
Regards
Bruno

Yes, I have 10.7.5.
I don't get any error message. It just does not download. But it does on a mac mini on the same network, and with an older version (snow leopard). Very strange.
It would be helpful if I could download a full version of Maverics on any computer (inclusive Windows PC
Regards
Bruno

Mac book pro running slow with lion

My Mac book pro is running real slow since upgrading from leopard to lion. Takes up to a minute or more to boot up and open some programs like I Photo.

Perhaps you need more RAM or you do not have enough Free Space on your Hard Drive...
