Where's the OS X Lion?

I have 3 hard drives on my Mac.
The first one has Leopard.
The 2nd one has Snow Leopard.
I had the Lion installing on the 3rd drive over night.
Next morning, it said to restart. When I restarted, it went back to the old Leopard OS X.
There wan no Lion on any drives. What happened? I went to the App store and it indicated that I have purchased the Lion and was installed but there's nothing.
I can't find any tech support.

I'm assuming you've done this already: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1310

  • Where is the OSX Mountain Lion download for 19.99?

    Looking for the download from apple store for $19.99 Mac OS X v 10.7 lion? should have been in as of Juky1, 2012?

    Are you looking for Lion (10.7) or Mountain Lion (10.8)?
    Mountain Lion (OS X 10.8) release is announced for sometime in July, not any particular data.  You just have to wait like the rest of us for a few more days at most.

  • Where is the trash on Lion?

    Hi,
    This should be easy, but I can't for the life of me find the trash icon after having upgraded to Lion. I used to have it on my desktop and in my sidebar. How can I make the trash visible again?
    Ben

    I have noticed that ejecting a drive no longer dosplays as 'eject' when dragging to the trash. it displays as 'trash' now. why no longer the 'eject' vs 'trash' distinction?

  • Where is the install package stored from the app store for Lion?

    This is an all new way of deploying OS updates from Apple. From what I can see, this presents some issues:
    1. Where is the install package that I bought from the app store, and how can I save that offline?
    2. If there's a problem with my device in the future, I have no media of Lion to restart from- so what's the procedure to restore from a TM backup? Go back to 10.6, and then to the 10.7 update?
    3. What if I want to boot from disc or a drive? I don't have a copy of the install to make a bootable image.
    Thanks for the help

    OK, once you install Lion the Installation Package gets deleted. However once you have installed Lion, do following:
    - Open the AppStore Application
    - With pressed Option (on German Keyboard ALT) Key klick on the "Purchased" Tab!
    - You will now see that the prviously greyed out "Install" key for Lion becomes active
    - Download the install package
    - Do not start installation
    - In order to create a bootable DVD or USB drive containing the installer follow instructions posted on
    http://www.macworld.com/article/161069/2011/07/make_a_bootable_lion_installer.ht ml
    This is how you can create installation media.
    For maintenance options (means your Lion installation has some problems but your drive is still OK)
    you can boot from the hidden recovery partitions that was created when you installed Lion.
    To do so, press the Option (ALT) Key while booting. You will have now the option to boot from
    Lion or recovery partition.
    Hope this helps!

  • Where is the file of the funds of screen in Lion?

    Where is the file of the funds of screen in Lion?

    Two of the Screen Savers folders are initially empty, yes.
    If you want to use photographs for a screensaver, don't put them in those folders, though. Store them somewhere else, then click the "+" button on the screensaver preferences page and choose "Add folder of pictures".
    If you want to use them as backgrounds for desktops, again, don't use the Screen Savers folders, just put them in a new folder somewhere else, then juse use the "+" button on the Desktop preferences pane.
    If you're setting background images for Spaces (virtual desktops), set each one individually. Remember to close System Preferences once you're done with each desktop, then switch to the next one, right-click on the desktop, and click Change Desktop Background again.
    Hope that helps.

  • Where is the home/application/address book in Lion.  Can't find it to move in a backup of my address book.

    Where is the home/application support/address book folder in Lion?  Can't find it to put in a backup.
    I made a mistake.  I want to find the home/library/application support/address book - not the application itself.  The whole library is not there - is it a hidden file?  And if so how do I get it to show?

    Kappy, I was going to start a Thread about the Application Folder so I'm glad you brought it up and you said that it should not even exist. I've had an Applications Folder within my Home Folder thru multiple OS. I'm even tempted to say since OS 9, but I'm not sure about that. There has never been anything in that folder and I don't remember ever creating it. Infact, The folder to me looks like a folder that would be installed as part of the OS.

  • Mac Book Pro Retina with Mt Lion.  Where is the Hard Drive?

    Mac Book Pro Retina with Mt Lion.  Where is the Hard Drive?

    Technically there is no "hard drive" in the Retina MacBook Pro, as all models come with "flash" storage which isnt a "hard disk drive." So if you are wondering why you are not hearing classic hard drive chatter and spin-up sounds then this is the reason.
    Other than that, logically the devices are treated the same, so as Kappy mentions you just have to enable it on your desktop or go to your computer name in the Finder sidebar under "Devices" or otherwise go to the top level of the system's folder structure to reveal any mounted volumes, including the internal drive.

  • OK, I give up.  Where is the hot key to download the new OS Lion?

    OK, I give up.  Where is the hot key to download the new OS Lion?  I have looked on all the pages and can't seem to find it.

    You need to run the App Store Application and buy it through there using your Apple ID / Account (same as iTunes)

  • 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

  • Where is the new Facebook integration on Mountain Lion?

    Where is the new Facebook integration on Mountain Lion?

    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
    First, you have to add the Facebook account. Go to System Preferences > Mail, Contacts and Calendars, select Facebook and type your email address and Facebook account, so you will be able to post videos or photos on Facebook directly from OS X, post on Facebook on Notification Center, and receive notifications on Notification Center

  • Where is the library folder in Lion?

    where is the library folder in Lion?

    I recommend all frustrated users to make LIBRARY permanently visible by following Tom Reed's instruction, namely, going into Terminal and typing the following command: chflags nohidden ~/Library   Otherwise, next time you need to access Library, if you are like me you will have forgotten the "Option-Go" trick
    You´ll ask next: "but how do I access Terminal?"  If you search for "Terminal" in the Finder, it shows up.  Make sure the Search is of "This Mac"  and not "All my Files".  Once you see it, click on it and the terminal window opens up. The background inside the window is white and not black as sometimes pictured.
