Why i can't full screen my apps in my display?? with the mac os x lion, why i can't full screen my apps in my display?? with the mac os x lion

i have a cinema display and i just downloaded the new mac os x lion. the problem is that i can't use full screen with my display, when i push the full screen button the app moves to my macbook, but i want it to stay at the display.

It appears that the full-screen display will only work on the display that has the menu bar.
You can switch the menu bar to your external display by going to Solid Apple -> System Preferences -> Displays, then Arrangement.
Grab the menu bar and drop it on the icon representing your external display.
When you full screen an app it should then full screen on the Cinema display.
I wish it would just full screen on the display the window is on, but that is evidently not the way it was designed to work.

HT4414 When I try to purchase Mountain Lion i get an error message: "We could not complete your purchase. The product distribution file could not be verified. It may be damaged or was not signed." I can purchase other apps, why not Mountain Lion?

When I try to purchase Mountain Lion i get an error message: "We could not complete your purchase. The product distribution file could not be verified. It may be damaged or was not signed."
I can purchase other apps, why not Mountain Lion. I get the same message on my wife's IMAC.

The only thing that worked for me was to boot in safe mode.
Power down. Then press power button and hold 'shift' key until grey screen with progress bar appears... Once booted and logged in just open safari and browse to applestore.
No trouble at all once I did this.
Hope it helps.

Remote location, 7kbs d'load speed, 10 days to d'load Lion, only software updates are through the App Store. Why can't we d'load and install outside the Cloud anymore? Some of us can't use the cloud.

That is true - I apologize for not being specific - what I was mainly referring to is iLife applications. I have a notice on the App Store that says 3 apps need updates, I look at the apps and they are huge so since my connection is so slow I use my work connection and d'load the files from support to my Windows machine and carry them home, once d'loaded my MacAir states it cannot install, the update must come from the App Store.
I do the same thing for large Leopard and Lion files and I can install them without error, it is just the App Store files that the system stops.

My iMac came with mountain Lion preinstalled. I wish to make a Bootable USB Disk. I find that I am not allowed to d/load Mountain Lion from the App Store. I wish to make a purchase. Why can't I?

All he needs is the recovery disc assistant. It's a free download.

I just downloaded Lion, why can't I open Word?

If they are all PPC-only applications, then yes. CS2 is incompatible with Intel machines. Not knowing how old your iMovie version is, but if it goes back to the same time period then it won't work either until you upgrade all the old software to Intel or Universal binaries from the respective developers.
You can revert back as follows. Erase the drive and restore your Snow Leopard backup or:
Downgrade Lion to 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. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
4. Quit DU and return to the installer. Install Snow Leopard.
This will erase the whole drive so be sure to backup your files if you don't have a backup already. If you have performed a TM backup using Lion be aware that you cannot restore from that backup in Snow Leopard (see below.) I suggest you make a separate backup using Carbon Copy Cloner 3.4.1.
If you have Snow Leopard Time Machine backups, do a full system restore per #14 in Time Machine - Frequently Asked Questions. If you have subsequent backups from Lion, you can restore newer items selectively, via the "Star Wars" display, per #15 there, but be careful; some Snow Leopard apps may not work with the Lion files.

I updated my iMac to lion and now when i leave my desktop and it goes into stand by it like a picture is taken of the screen and when i want to log in the mouse point removes pixels so i can get to the user login screen this never happened ith snow leopar

i upgraded my iMac to lion and now when i leave my desktop and it goes into stand by mode, its like a picture is taken of the actice desktop and when i want to log in the mouse point removes pixels so i can get to the user login screen this never happened ith snow leopard. does anyone else experience this and is there a fix?

I have an iMac 8, 1 that I upgraded Leopard to Snow Leopard. It was totally updated with the latest from Apple when I bought and tried installing Lion. The upgrade failed, shot my OS and I couldn't boot. Had the constant spinner on a grey screen.. did a format of the drive, hdd repair and everything came back clean... got back to Snow Leopard and all the updates on it again and then retried the Lion thing... same bs... dead duck. Crashed my system one too many times. I can't see where a few small changes, mostly app related can be classified as an OS upgrade and is not compatible with my iMac. I have the stuff running on my Mac Pro but have yet to notice anything impressive. I've always used F3 and really didn't require Mission Control. Just open you app folder for launch pad... duh? I use the hot corners anyhow. As far as Safari is concerned... as a power user, Apple missed the boat on that for me.. full screen etc.. Wow. I don't like the new Mail either..
As you can see/read, I'm less than impressed with this release from Apple but I own so many of their products that I will have to put up with it for now... somehow the MS logo should apply to this release Steve.

Latests ongoing 'upgrades' as they refer them IOS7, without announcement removed the feature that showed an assignged contact image appearing full screen when that contact called. Why ? brilliant feature Fast losing faith, thoroughly ****** off, moving on

We are all users here. You are not talking to apple on these forums. There is no way anyone here can know the decision making process apple uses to determine what changes to make to the operating system. Also none of use care about which phone you might buy next.

OS X Mountain Lion: why can't I download you?!

I recently purchased OS X Mountain Lion from the Apple Store. I used the desktop APP Store application to redeem the code for my purchase. There is a big download button for this download but every time I hit it, a pinwheel appears for a moment, and then nothing.
Nothing appears to be downloading. If it were downloading, where exactly would I look to see the status of the download.
I understand we are now in a Maverick world, but my goal today is to get OSX Mountain Lion up and running, and the APP store does not seem to want me to download something that I paid for.
Please Please Help if you have had this problem and found a solution. No forum I've seen so far discusses this problem.

Purge your mind about PowerMac and Snow Leopard first. Only Intel (non-PowerMac/IBM) computers, and Mac Pro Early 2008 and later (3,1 and above) can upgrade to 10.8.x
There can be configuration and network issues with download, even some installed 3rd party products can interfere, or rarely a firewall setting (for which you should be using your router firewall anyway).
Also, try repairing permissions, try safe boot, be sure to make a backup! and also to avoid redownload and to allow install and clean install now and later, save the installer package and make a small ML Install system.
Mavericks is free and any Mac Pro that can run ML can also install 10.9

Yes, you can. You can configure the Side Switch (above the volume button) either as Mute switch or Rotation lock.

Known bug. Quit the Camera App, double-tap the home key and delete Camera from the recent apps bar. Fire it up again, should be good.

It worked fine until I charged the phone this evening. After that suddenly I'm facing this. Please can anyone help me to recover this issue? pls!

This is covered in the basics section.
A restore loses nothing.
A restore does. If you are using the iphone as designed, then everything should be on your computer.

How can I buy Mountain Lion from an unsupported laptop? I want to install it on a Mac Pro but it doesn't have an OS to open App Store

I have a MacBook Classic that is unsupported and my Mac Pro is supported but I can't open App Store from it because there's no OS and I can't purchase from my classic because it's unsupported. Halp

Buy Snow Leopard for your Mac Pro, update it to 10.6.8, purchase and download Mountain Lion. There is no other solution.
