OS X V10.7 Lion :: Still Not Downloaded After 18 Hours?
Mar 20, 2012
I'm trying to dowload a lion upgrade and the lion icon drops down to the icon bar, and the download begins, but after 18 hours it is only 25% of the way through. I pause and resume every few hours in case the process is stuck, but nothing speeds this up. My wifi connection has been fast enough to download big installs like this before in a few hours, so I can't figure out what I need to be doing differently.
I recently purchased my Macbook and I noticed that the battery power is jumping at least an hour every time I check how much battery power it has left. I wanted to know if this was normal.
I accidently deleted some file on my computer that wouldn't let me start up my MacBook pro, 13 Inch, so I had to press Command- R at start up (brought me to Lion Recovery) and I choose reinstall lion and I started it yesterday morning and all day and over night. It's barely half way through and it says "148 Hours Left" which is crazy.. Should I just wait? is this normal? what do I do?
when i started Itunes on my new mac book air. It requsted that i do a upgrade to Lion recoverysoftware. In total it´s 452,5 MB and it has done 75 MB. Its about 251 hours left on the upgrade. Should it take that long time? can i close the computer?Â
I have received 2 Panic Attack reports in the past 24 hours the first was obvious with the little black window message appearing in the middle of my screen the system was idle at the time with several internet window open and a exel workbook. The second occured overnight when I came to my Mac this morning the screen was black i.e. appeared to be asleep as normal I hit a key and nothing happened, I checked the machine and noted that indicator lights on a USB drive I had connected and this copnfirmed the machine was still on, I had my own panic attack! I did the reboot by turning the off switch off, and then restarted a report was displayed indicating a Panic Attack had occured i.e.Â
"Interval Since Last Panic Report:Â 2366911 sec Panics Since Last Report:Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â 2 Anonymous UUID: ******"Â
The report is gibberish to me I wish they would provide a clear indication in these reports to help the non tecky gain some level of understanding as to what may be the problem, that was a mini rant!Â

After upgrading to OS X Lion the machine after som hours do not respond at all to either mouse, spacebar or any other keys on the keyboard. Moving the mouse creates a pattern on the display/screen, but no options appear. The machine appears to going to sleep, but is unable to wake up.The only way to make the machine react, is to use the power button.I have changed the settings so that the machine never goes to sleep, but this has no effect.
I installed the new Lion software without any problems, everything runs great. But my battery life has dropped from 8 hours down to 2 hours.I am constantly having to charge the lap top to make it usable - I may have well purchased a desktop machine if I can only get two hours without charge?

Im facing a problem with my macbook..my battery drain after upgrade to lion. Before with snow leopard it took at least 5-6 hour to finish while streaming movies but with lion it took 2 hours to drain.. why ...
If I set my macbook pro ( Lion ) into stand by, after a few hours it's completely off. I have to push the power button to start it new. I have this problem since I've installed OSX Lion.

About a month ago, a friend who had just purchased his first Mac emailed me and asked why his Dock DownLoad file disappeared. I had no idea why. He still hasn't been able to reestablish it.
Yesterday, I downloaded something and my Dock DownLoad file vanished. I have tried rebooting, using (useless) Help, Spotlight, Search, and several other things. NO JOY. NO DownLoad file.
1. Does anyone know where to find DownLoad or how to bring it back?
I have experienced several idiosyncrasies with Snow Leopard, but when I call Apple support, they are very nice, but haven't a clue as to why it's happening.
2. Another problem is that the Highlight gets anchored on something in Mail, Word, and some other Apps. When I click somewhere else, the whole area between the "anchor" and what I click on is lit up. Apple doesn't know what causes it. I have to go through multiple machinations to shake it loose. I don't know what it is that causes it or specifically how to "shake it loose". Neither does Apple.
3. When typing in Word or an editor, there are times when the type changes to UpperCase and won;t let go.
Another problem is that, at times, when I click on a file, it fills the screen. Apple is aware of this problem and is trying to find an answer. Nothing, to date.
Apple support can't tell me why the MacMail Inbox spinner disappeared or how to get it back.
There are times when I can't access the hidden Dock. After rebooting and trying other things, the Dock finally shows up but any additions that I have put on the Dock are no longer there.
When I put a DVD in the slot, for the first few seconds, it grinds but does smooth out.
I thought that SL was supposed to get rid of the "foibles". "What happened on the way to the Forum"?
Is anyone finding other SL idiosyncrasies? What are they?
If anyone can help with items 1., 2, and/or 3. I'd be grateful.
BTW, Apple says that items 2 and 3 MAY be caused by the wireless Magic Mouse and/or the wireless keyboard; however, when I use alternates, it still happens.
I have been trying since friday to download lion to save my mobileme. My hard drive was failing and i had to backup everything up but I didn't know it was failing til it failed last night. I got it replaced today and restored my drive. Now it's after hours at apple and i finally got to where i was trying to redownload Lion and it won't LET ME!!!!Â
it says I have to log in from the account i downloaded it from and won't let me download. I also can't get my system prefs to show i have my mobileme name. How am i going to get my account moved? I was told by apple care i had a few days grace period and i can't get this thing moved and can't afford to lose my email addressesÂ
i just want to download my lion thing -- and it shows in purchases but i can't get it to download now that i've restored from time machine on the replacement drive i had put in today after SMART errors caused my hard drive to fail earlier.
I was just having a browse through my purchased Apps on the Mac App Store. As you can see I am running Lion 10.7.3, however Lion appears in my purchased items but gives me the option to "Download" instead of "Downloaded".Â
I know its months away but I am concerned about this possibly interfering with the Mountain Lion update. Â

i just downloaded Mac OS X Lion but i can't install it. I click on the install Mac OS X image and it opens but then it hangs and finder says it's not responding. I'm currently running 10.6.8?
Is it possible to reinstall Lion like the following?Â
Download os x lion from app store Burn the .dmg to a disc Insert disc into Mac Boot, holding down CÂ Â (?)Â
There are several types of dvd's. One i found is dvd +r, the other one was dvd -r.Whats the difference? How do i boot up with the dvd which contains the os x? Holding down C, like the real disc? My original disc is broken after moving my computer while the disc was spinning. It got scratches from it. My computer won't boot for some random problems I know.

I downloaded Lion when it first came out. Any ideas why my apps is not showing it as installed? I know it is as I have been using it for months. I don't want to be charged again.
I am currently on OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard, and I have just I purchased Lion 10.7 from the App Store. The issue is that I my current Snow Leopard is having some issues and I prefer a fresh install from 10.7 through USB. How do I go about porting the downloaded 10.7 apps to a 8GB USB stick so that I could boot up from the USB stick and installed it to my MacBook?Â

i just saw a screenshot of a Lion desktop which had the user's memory usage, data being downloaded and uploaded and CPU usage at the top right near the clock. i was just wondering how i could get this on my desktop.
Has anyone had trouble with a Samsung ML1660 printer and OS Lion? Mine was working perfectly before the upgrade to Lion. i have downloaded new software but the MAc won't recognise it's there.
Normally/Before, when i download an app, i click to open, it will pop up a windows to ask me if i want to open it, for it's downloaded from the internet, i will allow it.
But now, nothing pop up, and if i launch no matter which app downloaded from the net, the icon in the dock keep jumping and nothing happen.
ive been using my mac to unzip zip arhcive files ive downloaded from the internet and for the past few months ive had to troubles at all. but more recently my mac wouldnt actuallty zip the files. so i started using a free application in the app store called stuffit expander. but now even stuffit expander wont unzip my files. what is happening? the stuffit expander just says it is unable to recognize the file type which makes no sense, and when i use the default unzip application already on my mac it just turns the zip file into a file with the extension .cpgz
