Will iMac ship with Lion if I order it today?

There's no "Ships with Lion" on the iMac and MacBook Pro page. Only MacBook Air and Mac mini do, so I wondered if I place an order for a new iMac today, will I get Lion pre-installed?

Yes if you buy directly from Apple. Worst case, you will get a free redeem code.

My new iMac is not shipping with Lion installed. Will I be able to do a Migration from my PC to my iMac without installing Lion first?

My new iMac is not shipping with Lion installed. Will I be able to do a Migration from my PC to my new iMac? I only want to transfer photos and my music, currently on my PC (and on my iPod Touch & iPad).
Can anyone give me a list of steps to follow or let me know if Migration Assistant is available prior to Lion for PC to Mac?
Thank you so so so much!

SweetDee,
I'd be VERY surprised if your machine was not shipping with Lion installed. However even if it doesn't when you initally install Lion it will launch into Setup Assistant, if you follow the prompts it will ask if you are migrating from another machine. You can use Pondini's Lion Setup Assistant tips for help, look for the section(s) on MS Windows migration. Also I would strongly recommend bookmarking and studying the following sites:
Switch 101
Mac 101
Find Out How Video tutorials
In closing remember you have 90 days of free telephone support with AppleCare. If you run into trouble they will be happy to assist or if you have an Apple Store in your area you can book an appointment with a Genius and they can usually help you out.

When will new Macs (MacBook Pros) be shipped with Lion?

When will newly ordered Macs be shipped with Lion pre-installed?

If not today, within the week, I'd imagine.

Is it possible to downgrade an iMac (model no. a1311) that originally shipped with Lion to Snow Leopard-?

Is it possible to downgrade an iMac (model no. a1311) that originally shipped with Lion to Snow Leopard…?

If you find Snow Leopard is really required, you may find getting a used or refurbished Mac that shipped new before July 20, 2011 is preferable*:

Running an iMac 24" with Lion Facetime will connect with another iMac using SL I can both see and hear the other person. They can see me but can't hear me. I have set the sound panel to what I think is correct. Any ideas?

I am running an iMac 24" with Lion. FaceTime is received with both sound and picture. Another iMac running SL can see but cannot hear me. Any ideas?

if you use some case or screen protector check up on where the mics on the iphone are and that your case / screenprotector and or fingers are not blocking them

Snow leopard on macbook pro shipped with lion

A question from Sweden: Can you install SL 10.6 on a macbook pro that shipped with Lion?

your going to need another Mac that can boot off the disks, then T boot off the target Mac first so it's FireWire Target Disk Mode, then connect a Firewire cable then hold c boot off the 10.6 disk, erase the factory Lion machine completely and install OS X 10.6
The firmware will not you boot from earlier OS X install disks on a factory Lion box. You have to work around it to get it on the drive, but once it's there it will be fine.
I just did this, and did not have to Target boot at all. The machine booted right up off the replica 10.6.7 DVD, and was perfectly happy to install 10.6 right over 10.7 without erasing anything. No wacky side effects except a few settings had to be set again where Lion's settings were too different.
If you only have the "Full Retail" 10.6.3 disc, then you WILL have to use another older Mac as intermediary, since the 2011 MacBook Pro needs at least 10.6.6 to boot.
Mine was a refururb, and because it has originally been sold with 10.6, there WAS a 10.6 disc they could copy and send me. They muttered about "ranges of serial numbers". The "first responders" do not know these are available, so you have to be firm, but polite. The answer for your specific Mac may still be no. By year-end, the answer will always be NO.

Lion 10.7.2 On both mac book pro and iMac, both with Lion 10.7.2, obtain repeated iCal event notifications from calendar or address book. Cannot turn these off. They repeat several times per session and every time computer is used. How to diagnose this

Lion 10.7.2 On both mac book pro and iMac, both with Lion 10.7.2, obtain repeated iCal event notifications from calendar or address book. Cannot turn these off. They repeat several times per session and every time computer is used. How to diagnose this?

First, uninstall "SuperTV" (whatever that is) according to the developer's instructions. It isn't working and it's filling the log with noise.
If you have more than one user account, these instructions must be carried out as an administrator.
Launch the Console application.
Step 1
Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left.
Enter "BOOT_TIME" (without the quotes) in the search box. Note the timestamps of those log messages, which refer to the times when the system was booted. Now clear the search box and scroll back in the log to the last boot time when you had the problem. Post the messages logged before the boot, while the system was unresponsive or was failing to shut down. Please include the BOOT_TIME message at the end of the log extract.
Post the log text, please, not a screenshot. If there are runs of repeated messages, post only one example of each. Don’t post many repetitions of the same message. When posting a log extract, be selective. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough.
PLEASE DO NOT INDISCRIMINATELY DUMP THOUSANDS OF LINES FROM THE LOG INTO A MESSAGE. If you do that, I will not respond.
Important: Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Edit it out by search-and-replace in a text editor before posting.
Step 2
Still in Console, look under System Diagnostic Reports for crash or panic logs, and post the most recent one, if any. In the interest of privacy, I suggest you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if present (it may not be.) Please don’t post shutdownStall, spin, or hang logs — they're very long and not helpful.

If I order a new MacBook will it ship with the iOS 7 operating system?

No; iOS 7 is for iOS devices, not Macs.

Will it ship with leopard

guyz...
i've ordered a MAC today...will it ship with the leopard preloaded?

Yes, it should if you bought it direct from Apple. I bought a Mac Pro with Mac OS X Leopard Server about three weeks ago, and it came with Tiger Server preinstalled but included Leopard discs if I wished to upgrade it.

Refurbished macbook- will it ship with leopard?

hi all just bought a refurbished macbook (black) 2.16ghz, 160gb , 2gb ram from apple online store in ireland. question is will it ship with leopard?? the item description did not state anything bout the OS. however on ONE of the other refurbished models on the website they state that all refurbished macs ship with leopard.i checked terms and conditions of refurbished models and they say it will ship with whatever OS was native to that model when it came out. (i think in my case it is tiger.. correct me of im wrong). WHAT OS IM I GONNA GET TOMORROW!!! i kinda want leopard and im a student so cant afford to shell out eur114 (student discount)
many thanks in advance!

Yes, it most likely will. Apple refurbished products are great deals. Leopard requires iLife as well, and if you write much iWork`08 is great word processor.

If I buy a new iPad4 from the apple online store will it ship with ios6?

If I buy a new iPad4 from the apple online store will it ship with ios6?
I let a so called "friend" borrow my iPad and the **** went an updated the OS to ios7.
Dispite restoring from a backup on my computer ios7 remains, rendering it usless for work.
If I buy a new iPad from the Apple Online Store will it certainly ship with ios6?
No guesses please.
Many thanks.

I don't believe there is any correlation between the serial number and the version of iOS, but the sales person may be able to tell you when the unit was received into their stock. If it was before September 18th, it certainly should have iOS 6.

My Mac says it has an Intel Core Duo processor. Will it work with Lion?

Thanks everyone.
Bummer.
Not a bummer. What is wrong with the OS you are now using?
If it Ain't broken don't try to fix it.
Be Happy you don't have to deal with all the changes and inconsistencies that Lion has created between it and older Mac OSs

New Macbook pro shipped with Lion, cannot boot from SL CD

I have a brand new Macbook pro 17" - shipped with Lion, cannot boot from snow-lopard disk - tech said I would be able to downgrade. I cant because if I try to boot from the CD it just beeps 3 times. Boots just fine from a Lion startup disk I created first. What the heck is going on here? Very upset that i cannot reach apple support in the evening any longer. If anyone can help it would be awsome. Tnx good prople.

Hi Paul,
Just a quick question, are your Fn keys working properly and the 2 fingered scrolling?
I've done much the same with the help of 2 Apple Geniuses who found me an original 10.6.7 install disk for a my new macbook pro.
It installed OK but... Fn keys don't work apart from F3 and F12, the rest give an error sound. 2 fingered scrolling on the trackpad doesn't work either.
Mine was a custom build 15" with hi res glossy screen - I wonder if they've put in the newer wired keyboard mentioned here:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4809
or, if my problem relates to being on 10.6.7...
Any info would be gratefully received.

New IMac preloaded with Lion, how do I load Lion on my Macbook

I bought an IMac preloaded with OS 10.7.4 and want to load it on my Macbook Pro. Since it didn't come with a disc how do I go about doing this?
Thank You

You cannot use the Lion that came with your iMac to also upgrade your MBP. You must purchase a separate upgrade for the MBP. Your MBP must be running Snow Leopard 10.6.6 or later in order to purchase and download Lion from the App Store - $30.00.
Or you can wait until Mountail Lion is released this month and upgrade directly for $20.00.
How to Install Lion Successfully - You must have Snow Leopard 10.6.7 or 10.6.8 Installed
A. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions:
Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. Then select Disk Utility from the Utilities. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer. Now restart normally.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior (4.3.) if DW cannot fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall Snow Leopard.
B. Make a Bootable Backup Using Restore Option of Disk Utility:
Open Disk Utility from the Utilities folder.
Select the destination volume from the left side list.
Click on the Restore tab in the DU main window.
Check the box labeled Erase destination.
Select the destination volume from the left side list and drag it to the Destination entry field.
Select the source volume from the left side list and drag it to the Source entry field.
Double-check you got it right, then click on the Restore button.
Destination means the backup volume. Source means the internal startup volume.
C. Important: Please read before installing:
If you have a FireWire hard drive connected, disconnect it before installing the update unless you will boot from this drive and install the update on it. Reconnect it and turn it back on after installation is complete and you've restarted.
You may experience unexpected results if you have installed third-party system software modifications, or if you have modified the operating system through other means. (This does not apply to normal application software installation.)
The installation process should not be interrupted. If a power outage or other interruption occurs during installation, use the standalone installer (see below) from Apple Downloads to update. While the installation is in progress do not use the computer.
D. To upgrade to Lion:
Purchase the Lion Installer from the Mac App Store. The download will start quickly. Lion is nearly 4 GBs so a fast internet connection is essential. Download time could run upwards of 4 hours depending upon network conditions and server demands at the time.
Boot From The Lion Installer which is located in your Applications folder.
Follow instructions for installation.
