Re: OSX Lion to hit App Store tomorrow - Bootable Disk

[Daniel Kerr]

Hi Mike
Quick reply while out on road but I also read people moved lion file from user 
library - application support - app store. 
That keeps a record of purchases. 
Move that and try download again. 
Post back if no joy and I'll try find link when back. 

Kind regards
Daniel

Hi Mike,

That should not be the case. The Mac App Store keeps a list of all your 
purchases and will not charge you for the same application twice. For me this 
is has been working consistently well since the App Store was opened.

Are you logging in to the Mac App Store with the same Apple ID that you used to 
purchase Lion? If so you should be able to download the upgrade multiple times 
and to multiple computers if necessary. When Daniel says the App disappears, he 
means only after it has been run and the upgrade to OS X 10.7 Lion has 
successfully completed. His goal in copying the App beforehand was to burn it 
to a DVD, not perform a simple upgrade. I personally did not find that the App 
was deleted but some have experienced this.

If you do not find it possible to complete the upgrade after paying for the 
Lion upgrade App, you will be able to get help either from the Apple support 
site or the a retail outlet Genius Bar.

Cheers,
Carlo

This happened to me and Apple want another $31.99 to download it again.
The irony is I sat up half the night in true 'fan bois' style to download
it. Apple made $7.9 million profit for the last quarter. It makes the AUD
1 copies in Hong Kong seem fair.

Re: OSX Lion to hit App Store tomorrow - Bootable Disk

[Daniel Kerr]

Hi Pedro and all

Yes, the "Bootable Disc" appears to work.
I bought it on one "Drive", installed it on another drive then went back and
got the installer and burnt it to DVD. Then re-installed it to another
drive. 
All worked fine.

One thing to note if you're downloading it to one drive when buying it.
Before you install it, make sure to follow the steps first. A few people
said it deleted the downloaded file once installed. So they had to
re-download it.

These are the steps here to make the DVD once downloaded:-

(I used this link for you Rod!) :o))

Once burnt to DVD you can also image it to a Hard Drive as well.

Works well to put it onto a USB Drive, which will then work with machines
and MacBookAirs (And now MacMini's) with no optical drive.

Hope that info helps. One burnt Lion Disk for multiple machines. :o)

Now to correct my multi booting USB drive. (10.5, 10.6 and now 10.7 installs
all on one drive! Handy!!)

Two more things to finish off then time for some sleep.
(I'd go to bed now,...but Pete Smith will still tell me there's 15mins left
to go,..) :oP   :o)

Enjoy all!

Kind regards
Daniel
