Sep 26, 2016 I DON'T want to save anything to a readme, or other documentation file. It's a pity, as despite the flaws in Tex-Edit I'd like to have made it my main plain text and RTF editor. Now I'm looking at buying Nisus Express for rich text editing and keeping Text Wrangler around for plain text. Sep 04, 2014 Important Note: OS X 10.7 Lion has been replaced by OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion. The 10.7.4 update is recommended for all OS X Lion users and includes general operating system fixes that improve the stability, compatibility, and security of your Mac.
Check via Software Update whether any further updates are required, particularly to iTunes (you will need the latest version in order to synch with mobile devices).
You should now see the App Store icon in iTunes, and you now need to set up your account:
- Aug 10, 2014 I installed Combo Update v1.1 and it didn't fix anything. Used Finder and all it says is my app store isnt compatible with 10.6.8 and i need 10.7. I've re-installed the OS twice. I've re-installed the combo update several times. It won't budge. It also seems from what i've read I need the app store to install Lion.
- Lion os x free download - Apple Mac OS X Lion 10.7.5 Supplemental Update, OpenJDK 7 for OS X Lion, Apple OS X Bash Update Mountain Lion, and many more programs.
- Download this app from Microsoft Store for Windows 10, Windows 10 Mobile, Windows 10 Team (Surface Hub), HoloLens. See screenshots, read the latest customer reviews, and compare ratings for Basic Text Editor.
You can now upgrade to Mavericks OS 10.9 for free IF you have one of the following Macs, with not less than 2GB of RAM, and at least 8GB of available space on your hard drive:
iMac (Mid-2007 or later)
MacBook (13-inch Aluminum, Late 2008), (13-inch, Early 2009 or later)
MacBook Pro (13-inch, Mid-2009 or later), (15-inch, Mid/Late 2007 or later), (17-inch, Late 2007 or later)
MacBook Air (Late 2008 or later)
Mac Mini (Early 2009 or later)
Mac Pro (Early 2008 or later)
Xserve (Early 2009)
iCloud system requirements:
If you cannot run Mavericks you can purchase the code to use to download Lion from the App Store (Lion requires an Intel-based Mac with a Core 2 Duo, i3, i5, i7 or Xeon processor and 2GB of RAM, running the latest version of Snow Leopard):

The installer only self-destructs if it is left in the applications folder. If you put it on the desktop before running, it will still be there after the install.
What's the point of Method 2? If you have to move 'Install Mac OS X Lion' to the trash, don't you already have the installer? Why would you need to download it a second time?
because the original installer was corrupt
And if it wasn't corrupt, it's a proof of concept.
Personally, I like to refer to backups. You *do* keep a backup, don't you?

I only started on this quest when I had problems burning a boot DVD of InstallESD. I figured the file was corrupt.
What is a 'NON-LION 10.7 system'??? How can you have a 'Lion' system that is not 10.7?
If you mean you are running Snow Leopard, why don't you just say that? Very confusing.
Also, why do you only allude to the functional key-combo (Option-Click) on the 'Purchases' tab of the App Store? Wouldn't it be helpful to state what it actually is in order to clarify what this hint is trying to do?
Craig, this hint needs to be removed and rewritten for clarity; it only confuses the issues and adds little useful information.
Title: Re-Downloading OS X 10.7 Lion Installer from The App Store.
If you failed to save your 'Install OS X Lion.app' installer application prior to installation, you will find that it has self-deleted upon completing its own installation.
You may also have saved a copy, but for some reason, believe it to be corrupt (or out of date) and you wish to retrieve another copy.
Method 1: While running the App Store application under OS X 10.7 Lion, hold the 'Option' key while Clicking on the 'Purchases' tab in the titlebar. (Option-Click 'Purchases'). The 'OS X Lion' listing, which would normally show as 'Installed' will now again show 'Download'; click to re-download, but Cancel the Installation when given the opportunity, and then move or copy the installer from the Applications folder to a safe location.
Note: Be sure to label the new parent folder with the version number you downloaded; as of this writing that should be 10.7.0; this will be useful when future versions of the OS are updated to 10.7.1 and beyond.
Method 2: If you are still running 10.6.8 Snow Leopard, simply move the Installer app from the Applications folder to the Trash (you need not empty the Trash if you have another use for the file); you will need to enter your Admin password to complete this move; then return to the App Store application and click on the purchases tab to re-download Lion. Save as above, as desired.
Method 3: If for some bizarre reason neither Methods 1 or 2 work for you, you can always d/l Lion Installer from any Mac using a boot partition that is still using 10.6.8 Snow Leopard, but this should not be necessary.

You can not use any Mac. You can only download Lion on an Intel Mac that meets the minimum qualification to install Lion. The MAS will not allow me to download Lion on my iMac Core Duo even though it has the latest version of Mac OS X 10.6.8 v1.1 and the latest version of the MAS, because Lion cannot be installed on it.
Yup, you're spot on; in my frustration with this and other sloppiness I've encountered since getting up way too early today, I forgot about that rather important detail. Thanks for the correction.

Other than the small correction Mr. Allen made above, I am with you 100%. Let's scrap this hint and replace it with the one you wrote.

Changing the title of the hint to:
10.7: Downloading Lion from App Store again
would be a good idea too.

Didn't work for me. When I hold the alt key while clicking on Purchased I see the list of purchases with the 'Install' buttons, but all the while I also get the dreaded spinning beach ball. When the spinning ball disappears all buttons change to 'Installed'.
I used a slightly different method which worked for me. I described it in a later comment farther down how.

Free Plain Text App For Os X Lion Temporarily Unavailable
A bit of preemptive thought goes a long way. I simply copied the Lion installer from my Applications to my Desktop prior to installation. It still sits there now. I was attempting to make a disk. However that didn't work for me. I just made a iso and stuck the .app inside of it and burned the iso file to a disk. Doesn't allow live booting, but I got a copy preventing me from needing to download another 4gb file.
I was expecting a real hint here. For example how to get the installer again after you downloaded.
There actually is an official Apple method to download the lion installer again, without deleting anything, without getting a new mac, and it even works on 10.7.
Here's how to do it:
Step 1 Open the Mac App Store.
Step 2 Navigate to your 'Purchased' Page
Step 3 Hold down the 'option'-key (alt) on your keyboard and click on your 'OS X Lion' purchase (not on the 'installed' button).
Step 4 You see the Lion product page. It should say 'Installed', but that button is clickable. Hold down the 'option'-key again and click on installed. If you don't hold the option key it will tell you there's already a newer version installed.
Step 5 Enter your login credentials.
Step 6 Download.
I guess I'll try and submit this procedure as a real hint.

Now that is a very useful hint! Of all the tips on burning Lion to a USB this is the first one that is actually useful to me. Many thanks!
One other ditty to get you straight to the Lion download link instead of going through the 'Purchased' tab…
On the 'featured' page, where Lion is still featured prominently, option-clicking the promo artwork/download link there will take you straight to the Lion detail page where the link will change from 'Installed' to 'Download.'
Easy peasy.

The tab in the Menu Bar says 'Purchased', once in that tab there is a column that says 'Purchases'
And the key combination is: Hold the 'option' key and click the 'Purchased' Tab
