Where is my copy of Lion?

I just purchased my macbook yesterday, and I would like to burn Lion to a DVD so I can make a clean install. Is this not possible anymore?? There is no Lion installer in my apps folder and no download link for Lion in the App store (just says "installed").

Even if you did have your own copy (if you purchased Lion in the App Store, you could make an Install DVD/USB), you still would not be able to get updates to the current OS X verions without an Internet Connection.
They're saying the USB Lion OS sticks don't work with the newer Macbook Air's. Slightly different versions, or something.
But this is a disgraceful debacle. It's one thing to aggressively hijack all options your customers have and place them under your control....it's another thing altogether to then...fail to provide even the terrible service.

I hear other people complain about Apple remotely accessing their iPods and dumb crap, to remove malware. Idiots.
I would never have a problem with that! They're idiots, I'm only idiotic. There is a difference! In this context, it would be the ability to understand what “capacity” (to do something) means.
The world thinks it means “capacity to do something”. Idiots.
I just think it means “capacity”. Which could be used to do all sorts of things. Like, for example, "Retrying (null) after 1 failure(s)" or "attempting to insert nil key".
Can we retry "null" again? Who knows. I have a good feeling about the 6th attempt tonight. But who knows, really - after 600 attempts this year.
Gosh I'm itching to attempt "null" again.
Let's do it, shall we?

How do i make abackup copy of Lion with a UBS2?

I am thinking about downloading Lion, i do not have a external harddrive. So i need to make a backup copy. I have a brand new unused Kingston USB. Once i have copied the software to the USB, where do I install it from? The copy on my USB? Or the original on my desktop? If you can offer any advice on this procedure, I would be grateful because i hardly ever download, and i've never copied anything of this importance before.

When you download Lion it will put the installer in your Applications folder and present you with an 'install Lion window'. Before clicking on the install screen copy the Lion installer to the USB drive (USB drive needs to have at least 4gb of available space). Eject the USB stick and continue with the installation. Once the Lion install is finished the installer in the applications folder will disappear so you are wise to copy it first.
Edit: As a side note, from your description it sounds as though you don't have an external back-up of all the important data on your Mac. I'd really recommend getting an external and at least keep a Time Machine backup.
Legend has it that there are two types of disk drive - one that has failed and one that hasn't failed yet. Having a backup in place will save you a world of pain. I know this for a fact .

Please help.

Call Apple to purchase replacement discs or order a copy of Snow Leopard from Apple's Online Store. Follow these instructions:
Drive Preparation and Install Snow Leopard
1. Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer Disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu.
2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the drive in DU's status area. If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing. SMART info will not be reported on external drives. Otherwise, click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
4. Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the drive entry) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
5. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Security button, check the button for Zero Data and click on OK to return to the Erase window.
6. Click on the Erase button. The format process can take up to several hours depending upon the drive size.
7. When completed quit DU and return to the installer. Install Snow Leopard. Once you boot from Snow Leopard you should open Software Update and install all the available updates required. After you complete this and restart the computer open the App Store application in the Dock or Applications folder.
8. Sign into the App Store with your Apple ID and password. Purchase and download Lion.
9. After Lion's installer downloads, install Lion.

HT4718 My copy of Lion is damaged and can't be used for reinstallation, what can i do?

when I launch Lion Recovery and try to reinstall the OS, there is a message that says that my copy of lion is damaged and can't be used for reinstallation. what can I do?

Sorry but that makes no sense.
The Lion install files are not stored on your computer so they can't be damaged. When using the Lion Recovery HD and you want to Re-Install Lion the install files are downloaded from the internet before the actual install begins.
If at one time you saved the Lion install files, secifically the InstallESD.DMG, and created your own Lion Install USB thumb drive and that is what you are booting from then this same type of thing has happened to me.
If you can't boot to the current Lion install, or you wiped your hard drive, you can try booting to the included Recovery HD and then download and install Lion or try the Online Internet Recovery HD system by holding down the Command+r keys OR the Command+Option+r keys when starting the system. One of those keyboard combos will take you to the online Lion Recovery system where you can download and install Lion.

I need a copy of Lion

So it's like this. I bought an IPad. To use it for digital photography I need a computer to download the pictures to from the ICloud. This computer must run Lion. Fair enough. My late 2006 Macbook can, according to the documentation, run this with a 2 GByte memory. So I upgrade it the memory and then try and download it to do the upgrade. However it is no longer downloadable because it has been replaced by Mountain Lion, which, alas, my elderly Macbook will not run. So I really need to get a copy of Lion from somewhere. Can anyone give me a clue as to where. I would like it to be a legal copy.
Whilst I abandonded Microsoft software for serious use some while back it is notable that their policy of selling and supporting previous versions is more customer friendly than Apple's appears to be.
TIA
Steve

Try here > http://www.apple.com/uk/contact/
But I presume you are telling me I can still buy a copy from Apple.
Lion can be purchased from Apple in the U.S. Not sure about the UK. Try the contact numbers at that link.

I am trying to home share with my sister. I have it down to where I can copy the songs, but I just don't have the "import" button. So it won't allow me to do anything with the songs from her computer. What should I do now?

I am trying to home share with my sister. I have it down to where I can copy all the songs I want, but it won't allow me to import them because my iTunes doesn't show the "import" button at the bottom. So what do I do now?

I have reinstalled the drivers. I watched it install the realtec and cirrus drivers. Hovering the mouse over the speaker icon says 'speakers: HP'. They are actually 'Creative'. 'Properties' indicates 'IDT High Definition CODEC' and 'This device is working correctly'.
Driver details gives 'c:\Windows\system32\drivers\dmk.sys'.
There is still no sound, although the little level meter on the control shows a green bar rising and falling.
Obviously, it thinks it's working, but there's no connection to the speakers. They're not muted, either. I checked that too.
Any other ideas?
Thanks.

Can I copy my Lion operating system from one computer to another in the household

Can I copy my Lion operating system from my Mac Air to another household computer?

It should also be noted that you can upgrade all Apple computers in your home free IF you paid for one license.
It should also be noted that you are NOT supposed to sell a computer that contains an UPGRADED copy of Lion.

Thanks tb

Yes you can store images on an external hard dive and have them referenced in Organizer. It’s best to export copies to separate folders/subfolders and that will ensure iPhoto does not get corrupted.
Alternatively you could continue to use iPhoto with the Elements Editor set up in the iPhoto prefs as your external editing app. Then there is no need to use Organizer and no need to duplicate your images.
You can then call up photos directly from iPhoto as normal with the additional option e.g.
Double-click on a thumbnail to edit in iPhoto editor.
Control (right) - click on a thumbnail to edit in the elements app.

I installed Windows 7 in my Macbook pro, I can access Windows data in Mac, but I can't copy and delete it. and the same case while i am working in Windows. Could you please guide me if there is any solution, where I could copy/paste/delete my data.

OS X can natively read NTFS of Windows, but not write to it.
Windows can't read or write to HFS+ of OSX, and that's a good thing from a security standpoint.
Ideally if you share files between operating systems you should have a FAT/MSDOS formated USB key or hard drive. (exFAT external drive if any of your files are over 4GB in size) both these formats are universal for OS X or Windows.
If you install software into Windows and OS X to read each others formats, then you have to pay to update/upgrade it deal with headaches.
If you swtich between Windows and OS X a lot, don't need full hardware performance for Windows, you may consider installing virtual machine software like VMFusion or Parallels which can take a copy of your Windows in Bootcamp and place it into OS X as a file then run that copy of Windows in a window in OS X like so.
Advantage here is you run most of your light weight Windows programs like this at the same time as OS X.
Benefit is you can run just about any Windows or Linux version and OSX server editions (not client versions)
Bootcamp only allows Windows 7, that's it now.
You'll also be interested in two fre pieces of software, Carbon Copy Cloner and Winclone on macupdate.com.
CCC clones OS X partition and Winclone clones the Bootcamp partition. Valuable for you.
Good Luck

Music is not included in the backup (and nor are films or tv shows), only the contents of third-party apps are included. Did you not do File > Transfer Purchases when connected to your computer's iTunes to copy your iTunes purchases over, and/or have you not got a backup copy of your music somewhere e.g. on an external drive ?

I lost my Hard disk and had to replace it, how can I get another copy of lion OS, P.S. I bought my macbook pro with preinstalled Lion OS

I lost my Hard disk and had to replace it with a new one, how can I get another copy of lion OS, as the guy at the serive center installed 10.6 for me.
P.S. I bought my macbook pro with preinstalled Lion OS

If you have a way to wipe 10.6.8 off, you can then reboot your machine (with no OS) and since your system came preinstalled with Lion, Internet Recovery should occur which will boot to Apple's servers into a Recovery HD for you to redownload and install Lion.
To be safe I would first make a clone of the current installation using Carbon Copy Cloner or SuperDuper!. This way you have a way to recover.

How to make a copy of lion on disc

bought a new mac pro with lion installed and i want to make a copy of lion so when my hard drive goes bad i can install it whith a disc.

Here you go:
OS X: About Recovery Disk Assistant
The procedure describes how to create a bootable USB flash drive, but the procedure to create a bootable DVD is similar. A DVD will take much, much longer to boot, so the USB flash drive method is preferred.
By the way, realize that you do not need to do this if your HD needs to be replaced. As long as you have a fairly fast wireless connection you need nothing else. The download itself might take one or two hours on a ± 10 Mbps connection.

Download again, move the existing file out of the applications folder first.
