Where is OSX Lion download?

Hi,
I have downloaded Lion from the App store and it has installed. I cannot find the installer anywhere on my machine. I am having issues with Mail and would like to reinstall either Lion or Mail or uninstall and reinstall both. Where does the OSX Lion app reside once downloaded and installed? Tried all the usual places, downloads...
Has anyone else had this problem?
Thanks in advance,
Chris

Here is a link to the apple knowledge base article regarding the recovery partition:

  • Where Does Mountain Lion Download To?

    I'm in the process of downloading ML so taht I can create a second bootable drive. Where does the ML download go to? I' ve looked several times throguh my downloads folder but I don't see it in there.
    Thanks!

    In the Applications folder.
    You can make a backup or a bootable installer disk BEFORE you install ML: after the install the installer is gone.
    Use Lion Diskmaker, works for ML too.

  • HELP..I received the message..."403 Forbidden" on the OSX Lion download.

    Help... I downloaded the Mac OSX x10.6.8 Snow Leapard update. Then I downloaded the OSX Lion, but with in two seconds I received a message "403 Forbidden".  What am I doing wrong?

    Make sure that you use a DHCP server to assign the IP automatically instead of defining a fixed IP.<br />
    Check the network setup (TCP/IP) settings.

  • Mac OSX Lion download

    I have bought and downloaded OSX Lion on my macbook air, and I love iit, but I want to download it onto my iMac. Is it possible to download Lion to just one account and have Snow Leopard on another on the same computer? Thanks!

    No. You need to use a second partition or drive to install or use multiple Mac OS X versions on one machine. Creating an additional partition on the internal drive may interfere with Boot Camp if you are using or intend to use it.

  • Very slow Mac OSX Lion download from App Store

    Hi  All,
    I  have  recently  purchased  Mac OSX  Lion  (3  days  ago)  on  App  Store  (Malaysia). The  download  is  extremely  slow  and 
    I  am  not  sure  if  there  could  be  any  other  problem  contributing  to  this  issue.
    Currently  I  have  only  completed  about  1.61GB  out  of  3.74GB  after  3  days. But,  it  was  not  a  continuous  download  but
    rather  stop  and  resume  every  3  hours. My  internet  connection  speed  as  I  checked  on  speedtest.net  was  4Mbps.
    The  time  left  to  complete  the  download  is  shown  as  2  days  and  20  hours. I  think  it's  not  sensible  to  have  such  a
    long  time  to  complete  the  download  with  an  available  connection  speed  of  4Mbps.
    Any  solutions  for  this  problem ?

    Thank  you  for  keeping  the  thread  alive.
    Now  I'm  experiencing  better  download  speeds  with  remaining  time  of  (7  hours  and  a  few  minutes).
    The  connection  speed  I  have  is  about  5Mbps.
    I  would  suggest  anyone  with  download  speed  issues  to  follow  several  maintanence  tips  (if  not  all)  from  here :
    http://reviews.cnet.com/8301-13727_7-20005830-263.html
    It  may  not  seem  worthy  or  the  "solution  for  the  problem"  but  it  has  certainly  made  the  difference  for  me.

  • Can't find my OSX Lion Download

    I received a redemption code for my purchase of OSX Lion, went to download it and now can't find it. I've tried repeating the process but it says "already redeemed". I'm working off a 2007 MacBook.... Please help?

    The installer download should be in the Applications folder.

  • Where is OSX lion 10.7.2 folder ?

    Hi ..
    After installing OSX lion, i want to burn the OSX on a Dvd, but i cant find the OSX folder anywhere on my mac ?

    The Lion installer creates a recovery "partition" when it installs. This adequately replaces an install disc for most people. You can create a seperate recovery drive as will in case you are not most people and you can find an article on it here. http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1433

  • Where is Mt. Lion download saved to?

    I just downloaded 10.8.5 but can't find it anywhere..not in the applications folder and not by using SpotLight...
    Download took all night and I was greeted this morning with a big mt. lion face and a continue button; all I want is the download of 10.8.5 for re-install purposes.
    Any clues as to where the download would be are greatly appreciated!
    r

    Hi, Ralph
    There was no install/restart. I know because I had a chat window open and there was no such activity shown..I just had a "continue" button on that screen where you see the mountain lion face. I'd already used the 10.8.5 updater, so I was up to date.
    I like to download Mt. Lion after every combo updater in case I need to re-install the OS..must be same version as currently running.
    I have the tools to make the bootable installer, thank you for that tip. I just need to find where the download went to, if it's still there..
    thank you!

  • Where is the Lion download stored?

    Just finished downloading and installing Lion on my iMac. I'd now like to install it on my MBP, but really don't want to download another 3.7 gigs of data. Where is the download stored? Is it saved after installation?

    I have read that it is placed here, though I've not been able to confirm this yet:
    /Applications/Install Mac OS X Lion
    This link may also help.

  • Where is the lion download

    I am looking for the Lion dmg file or whatever the downloaded image file name is for Lion.  I sometimes use the install dvd to "clean up" things like privlages and such by booting from the install dvd and re-setting the password.  This in the past has really speeded up boot time.  So i now have Lion and in general it perfroms pretty well. So, where is the downloaded file? I want very much to create a DVD for my own use on my laptop but cant find it anywhere. Anybody got any ideas?
    Thanks
    Bob G

    When you download the upgrade to Lion it is in your Application folder but is deleted after install.
    To do what you used to do from a DVD you now do from the Recovery Partition: OS X Lion: About Lion Recovery.
    The nearest thing to a separate DVD is the Lion Recovery Disk Assistant.

  • Cant reinstall osx lion on new hard drive

    I recently have been having problems with my 2007 Macbook 2,1 (yeah, I know it's old but it works...or worked anyway) taking forever to boot up.  So, I backed up all of my data to an external drive, erased the drive and then attempted to reinstall osx lion (which was the current os on the machine prior to erasing) via the internet recovery option as I no longer have the original start up disc.  The progress bar gets all the way to the end and then just takes me back to the main OSX utilities page.  Tried reformatting the drive again and same thing.  So then I resorted to creating a bootable thumb drive.  I booted back into OSX utilities via this drive and tried to reinstall this way only to get an error message that it cant download additional files needed to install osx.
    Next up, I used a borrowed mac, redownloaded the OSX installer from the app store and installed it on an external drive.  I then booted my machine from the ext. drive into OSX lion, downloaded the installer again and attempted to install it on to my HD only to get an error message that the file may be corrupt or may have been tampered with.  At this point, i went to the Apple store.  The guy ran some checks but ultimately was also unable to reinstall the os.  He even tried going back down to 10.6.8.  So he told me this was a sign that the hard drive was bad and that they have no way of actually diagnosing it on a machine that old.
    So, I went and bought a new WD 320G internal drive to replace the "bad" one in the machine.  I then went through all of the steps above again and still have had no luck getting the os back on the machine.  So at this point I am at a total loss.  Is the computer just dead or is there anything else I could possibly try?

    Did you prep the new drive correctly? You also need to install Snow Leopard on the new drive and update it to 10.6.8.
    Drive Partition and Format
    1. Boot from your OS X 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.
    If you are preparing an external or a non-startup drive, then open Disk Utility in your Utilities folder.
    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 Apply 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.
    In the following you can skip the part for partitioning and formatting if you've done the above already.
    Clean Install of Snow Leopard
         1. Boot the computer using the Snow Leopard Installer Disc or the Disc 1 that came
             with your computer.  Insert the disc into the optical drive and restart the computer.
             After the chime press and hold down the  "C" key.  Release the key when you see
             a small spinning gear appear below the dark gray Apple logo.
         2. 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.
             After DU loads select the hard drive entry from the left side list (mfgr.'s ID and drive
             size.)  Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.  Set the number of
             partitions to one (1) from the Partitions drop down menu, click on Options button
             and select GUID, click on OK, then set the format type to MacOS Extended
             (Journaled, if supported), then click on the Apply button.
         3. When the formatting has completed quit DU and return to the installer.  Proceed
             with the OS X installation and follow the directions included with the installer.
         4. When the installation has completed your computer will Restart into the Setup
             Assistant. Be sure you configure your initial admin account with the exact same
             username and password that you used on your old drive. After you finish Setup
             Assistant will complete the installation after which you will be running a fresh
             install of OS X.  You can now begin the update process by opening Software
             Update and installing all recommended updates to bring your installation current.
    Download and install Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1.

  • Location of Mountain Lion Download?

    For some reason yet to be discovered I always seem to have issues downloading large files on my Mac.
    I have a work around where I download the SW packages at work and save to a USB thumb drive and then copy and install on my Mac.
    Can someone tell me where the Mountain Lion download is located and what I need to do if I already have the purchase recoreded in the apps store?
    Thanks,
    Steve

    Mmmmm now thats a problem!
    Any ideas why when I download it tells me that I have a "hash mismatch" problem. I guess that the checksum is failing????
    I've noticed in the past that large downloads seem to get corrupted.
    Any suggestions or workarounds?
    In the past with major updatyes that have don this then I've gone to the downloads page and downloaded from my PC at work and then copied the .dmg to my mac and its worked.
    This problem only seems to have started when I moved to a cable modem from DSL?? not sure if this is a clue or not
    Thanks

  • Where can I get the Boot Disk for my macbook pro? Downloading OSX Lion is taking too long

    I got a macbook pro that was owned by someone for a few days before. I tried to restore to factory setting but now downloading OSX Lion is taking forever with my internet connection. Can anyone help me find a boot Disk to speed up the process?

    Apple no longer sells a Lion installation USB flash drive (they did at one time). SO you'll just have to wait for the download to complete. It's best to 'hard-wire' the download - not over wifi but with an Ethernet cable connected directly to your router. That will gain you some speed.
    You could also try taking your MBP to a friend's home where they may have a faster Internet service. My download speed is 22+Mbps with my cable company - you may have a friend or neighbor who has something similar? Of course, you are always at the mercy of Apple's servers - sometimes they're just overloaded and a download that should take 20 minutes can take up to an hour and one-half.
    Good luck,
    Clinton
