Where did Lion go after download

I want to install Lion on a secondary drive on my computer.
However, since it's running OS5.8, I can't access the app store.
Since I have another laptop that's running on OS6, I decided to download Lion on that, and then transfer the downloaded install file to my intended computer.
Unfortunately, I now see that the "buy" button simply turns into an "install" button and there doesn't seem to be a physical file that's been downloaded to my computer.
Is there a file that went somewhere on my laptop and I'm missing it or am I out of luck?
Thanks

Have a look in your Applications folder. If you have already installed it, it deletes itself. You need to download it and save a copy to an external drive or USB stick. That is done by going to the App Store, signing in with the same ID and going to Lion. Where it says Buy, option click on it and it should change to download. That will go to your Applications folder. Make a copy from there.
Cheers

Where did Lion Go from the app store?

Where did Lion Go from the app store? it's gone. I my MacBook Pro can't run Mountain Lion but it could run Lion. But it's gone!

If you need to purchase Lion call 1-800-692-7753 or 1-800-676-2775. Ask for a Sales Representative. They will check your Apple ID, and email you a code and instructions. The cost is $29.99 (as it was before) plus tax. It's a download.

I just downloaded the newest update for mountain lion. After downloading and restarting for installation, I got a message stating that the update cannot be installed due to an error. Yet when I check I have version 10..8.3 and safari version

I just downloaded the newest update for mountain lion. After downloading any restarting for installation, I got a message stating that the update cannot be installed due to an error. Yet when I check I have version 10..8.3 and safari version 6.0.3, which the update was for. Does this mean that the update is iinstalled and the message was incorrect?

Good timing! Oh well, at least you shouldn't have to update again for a while. It will be nice kickstarting your Mac with the very latest System Update knowing any hiccups from 10.8.2 would have been ironed out if they were going to affect your workflow at all.
Cheers and Happy Computing

install 6.5 before proceeding further. I coud not understand.
Just what it says - install os 10.6.5 before proceeding further. You can either do so through Software Update or use the Combo update from Apple's download site.
You should repair permissions and restart your computer prior to updating and upgrading.

Where did lion go?

Ive downloaded and installed Lion. I wanted to burn it to a disk but it seems to be gone now and with no option to download. Where did it go?

I'm curious about this, too..I was told by someone who successfully downloaded, that It downloads into your Applications folder to an app named "Install Mac OS X Lion.app"
I look in my applications folder and see no such thing called "Install Mac OS X Lion.app"
Does this item appear only when the download is complete? I'm accustomed to seeing at least an icon while downloading is taking place...perhaps this is different?
At any rate, the progress bar tells me I have about 6' 40" to go...can't wait!

My safari did not change after downloading mountain lion

I thought everying was suppose to look the same on all devices with Mountain Lion? on my ipad and iphone safari did not change.

What do you mean by "look the same"?
Installing Mountain Lion on your Mac does not change the visual appearance of the Safari app on your iPad and iPhone. In fact, installing Mountain Lion does nothing at all to your iOS devices.

I am having major problems installing Mountain Lion. After downloading successfully and attempting to install the process froze after restarting - ended up hanging on the OSX Recovery screen. Wouldn't restart properly without me selecting a startup disc.

Three times I went through this same process for the same outcome. I have redownloaded Mountian Lion three times. I removed the Lion install package from the Applications folder in case this was causing a problem. Deleted and remounted the Mountain Lion package each time. Finally got the package to run through the install, restart and begin the file install - at the end it failed and I was left with a blank startup disc and no data. I have backed up. Through the OSX Recovery screen I selected a Lion reinstall - checked my credential against the app store -fine. But then failed on the reinstall. Now doing a recovery from current backup but wondering the **** is going on. Wasted over 24 hours of processor time.

Where did the Mac Desktop download go?

It's been replaced by "Null' - whatever that is!
I'm stuck trying to troubleshoot my HotSynch problem with my Mac until I can try to download the Desktop again.
Post relates to: Treo 700p (Verizon)

I see the same thing, will report it to Palm's Web team.

IDisk... where did it go after SL upgrade?

Hi, all:
I encountered a number of issues as I upgraded from Tiger to SL, but I won't recount them all here (and most of them have been resolved, anyway). But...
Where is my iDisk? The icon is gone from the desktop (it is displayed in the left-hand panel of Finder). And in Finder, the files on my iDisk sure do seem to take an awfully long time to be displayed.
Thanks,
Bill in CT

I figured it out (with the help of another user's forum post)...
In Finder, go to Preferences | General, and under "Show these items on the desktop," make sure the box marked "Connected Servers" is checked.
Doing this will make sure the iDisk icon is visible on the desktop.
Thanks for replying!

Where is my iLife after downloading mavericks

I recently updated my iMac to OS Mavericks and now I can't find my iLife. Is there a way to retrieve it or do I have to purchase it all over again.

Hey there Samanthasgp,
It sounds like you are trying to update to the new iLife versions after installing Mavericks. Take a look at this information from the article named:
OS X Mavericks: Updating disc-installed versions of Apple apps via Mac App Store
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5975
When you first open the Mac App Store in OS X Mavericks, it will check to see if you have a DVD-installed (or bundled) version of:
Aperture 3.x
iMovie '11
iPhoto '11
Keynote '09
Pages '09
Numbers '09
If the apps are found, they will be listed with the other Mac App Store updates, and you will be prompted for your iTunes Store password. The apps will be added to your iTunes Store account.
If you do not receive the offer to install a different version via Mac App Store, click the Updates pane and install all available updates.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
All the best,
Sterling

I am attempting to connect an external hard drive to my airport extreme and see this hard drive under time machine preferences. I used to able to do this under Leopard, but no longer under lion, even after downloading Airport utility 5.6.

Hi, I am attempting to see my extrenal hard drive, connected to my airport extreme base station, in time machine. I formatted the disk, backed up my mackbook pro to it via usb, and now want to be able to backup over wifi with my disk connected to my airport extreme base station. I spoke with Apple Care, and they told me Apple doens't support this. I used to be able to do this with my older MB pro and under older osx's. I do see the external hard drive connected under disks, just not in time machine preferences. Is there a workaround available that anyone is aware of?
Thank you so much,
Tabeer

Downloaded films (and those synced from your computer) should be in the Videos app (iTunes on the iPad is just the iTunes store) :

Hello there, tonjay82.
There are some great sources of information in the following article that might help you in resolving the issue at hand:
iOS: Understanding Restrictions
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4213
Particularly of note is the following:
You can enable and adjust Restrictions, or Parental Controls, on your device to prevent access to specific features or content on the device. Locate these settings by tapping Settings > General > Restrictions.
and
Additional Information
If your iOS device is missing a particular application or if a certain feature is not available, ensure that Restrictions are not enabled. Symptoms can include:
App missing from the Home screen (Safari, Camera, or YouTube for example)
Feature or service unavailable (Siri, Location Services, and so on)
Setting missing or grayed out (such as Mail, Contacts, and Calendar; iCloud; Twitter; FaceTime)
Important: Restrictions can also be enabled or enforced using a profile (typically installed when using the device for business or education purposes). You can check for installed profiles in Settings > General > Profiles.
Thank you for reaching out to us at Apple Communities on this issue.
Cheers,
Pedro D.
