Download my installer of Lion bought from App Store

I have an old white Macbook machine (it has 10.5.8 on it). I want to download Lion, so I can install it on this computer. App store is not accessible on 10.5.8, otherwise it wouldn't be a problem.

I connect in app store on my macbook pro, which has installed El Capitan. I see the download for my purchased Lion Installer button. I clicked and I get "the this version of Mac OS X 10.7 cannot be installed on this computer.

How do I download the installer of Lion so I can go in my macbook and install it on this machine? What are my options here?  Appreciate the guidance.

John

You must either install Snow Leopard on the MacBook and upgrade, or go to a Lion-compatible Mac, download the installer it and either use drive mode target to perform the installation or create a license key from it.

Jump Snow Leopard will probably require that the internal drive of the MacBook be repartitioned or deleted.

    Hi, I installed clean El capitan on my Mac and now I would like to create USB bootable, just in case. Should I re-download El Capitan installer from App store and move to applications. I try to write the next line: "sudo/Applications/Install\ OS\ El\ Capitan.app/Contents/Resources/createinstallmedia--volume/Volumes/NameOfYourUSB--applicationpath/Applications/Install\ OS\ El\ Capitan .app X\ X\ - nointeraction", but it says: "command not found" no idea how to do it correctly. I think I'm missing what Installer applications...

    When you have completed the installation of El Capitan, the Setup program deletes itself. So if you have not copied somewhere else, you will have again the download on the App Store.

  • Not able to download the sims2: great collection on the app store

    A few days ago, I decided to buy the sims2 on the App Store (with 50% discount). Unfortunately, I'm not able to buy the game on the App Store because "article is being adjusted. The App Store tells me to try again later, but three days later it still does not work. Someone has the same problem, or would it be a specific problem with my MacBook? OS El Captain 10.11.3.

    Thank you!!

    OS X on your v10.11.6 Mac update, then try to download Sims2.

    Open system preferences > App Store, and then click check now.

    This should take you through the update process.

    And check the Gatekeeper.

    Back to System Preferences > Privacy & security, then select the general tab.

    Ensure that: Mac App Store and identified developers is selected.

    If the above has not helped, if installed, disable the anti-virus software, and then try to download the app again.

    From the Start Page, type in the Panel. In the left pane, click Control Panel to open.
    Click default programs. Then click "associate a file type or Protocol with a specific program.

  • What can I do if an app downloaded from app store warms my phone and drains my battery?

    Hello

    I downloaded an app on the app store and it warms my phone. I want to use it, but it is almost impossible to communicate with application developers. How can I ask Apple to check the application and communicate with them?

    I really want to use the application, but I still need to connect my phone to charge it before use. I have test it on other phones and get the same result.

    Try to remove it, perform a forced reboot, then put it back. If this does not work, you can provide feedback to Apple below but the developer may be the best option. Good luck.    http://www.Apple.com/feedback/iPhone.html

  • Change of account from App store

    Hello

    I bought a second hand (Windows 8) laptop. The previous owner had set up an app store account, and I want to change the accounts to mine.

    Whenever I try to download an app, I wonder the password previous owners. Also, when I try to access the settings / settings/preferences or your account, I wonder for his password.

    The previous owners username appears several times in the registry.

    I'm happy change the registry, if I know what keys to change/remove.

    Please can you me how to change the account to my own one?

    Create a new user account on the computer by using your own account from Microsoft... Using the account of someone else is dangerous and you should not continue to use the machine like this. Heck, I would even reinstall the OS just to be sure.

  • OSX installer not found in the App Store - why?

    I plan to upgrade my Macbook Pro 2010 Yosemite running on a new SSD. I want to continue to use the same operating system on the new drive. To start the process that apparently, I need to make a flashdrive bootable for Yosemite. In order to present all of the tutorials I've seen speak to download something called "OSX Installer" on the app store. When I search the app store I don't know such a thing. Where I'm going wrong?

  • How can I buy credits from App Store?

    I received a gift card prepaid visa a conference I did. How can I use this card to buy on credit to the itunes App Store. I have my own credit out there but I would like to get rid of this prepaid visa and I can't understand it. Help!

    You couldn't use the prepaid card in the iTunes store to buy iTunes credit. Your best bet with this card is to buy some iTunes gift cards as a retailer, like Wal-Mart, Best Buy or other big box retail stores. Once you buy the cards, you can add them to your account.

  • can I access simultaneously several regions from app store?

    Is it possible to access app store both countries on the same device at the same time? I have VISA cards for both regions, but it seems that if I change my region I won't lose my apps in the other region. I need my two countries apps on my phone at the same time (for example, my Australian Bank application and my UK application). Anyone know if this is possible?

    N °

    In order to maintain an AppStore account in two countries at the same time requires two different Apple ID. You must also provide a credit card issued by a Bank, in each country, with a verifiable billing address in each country. But the killer in the case, is that your iOS device can be associated with an Apple ID every 90 days. Once you have signed in the UK account that you would be locked out of the Australian account for 90 days.
