Re: Tracking down OSX Lion?

When I phoned Apple, they said they are still selling it, but only while stocks last. And stocks hadn't lasted in any of the 3 nearest stores to me. Seems they have got copies, but they're not restocking, so if they're out, they're out. Cheers, Take care, Chris Norman. On 4 Jan 2013, at

Hi, If you've purchased it from the Mac App store, you should be able to redownload it. When it opens the installer, go find it in your downloads or applications folder (I think it's in the latter place) and make a copy of it. Then you can either quit the installer or go ahead and install.

Hi Trevor, I'm not sure what the expansion pack is supposed to include. I've always used HD so that stuff was included. You might try contacting Avid about the issue or at least take a look at some documentation to see what you should be seeing. Cheers, Slau On Jan 4, 2013, at 2:50 PM, trevor

Hi Slau, I have done as you said and the USB has the protools licence and the expansion pack 2 licence but, I don't see a lot of difference in protools. According to the CD, there is 55 gig of instruments on the five cd's and, I would have thought I would have seen quite a difference in the numb

Hi, My views are if a program is no longer being sold and you need it for any reason for accessibility or other reasons then downloading it however you can get it is fine as the company is no longer selling it so no real loss for them. Nick Gawronski On Fri, January 4, 2013 3:46 am, Chris Norman w

Hi Cameron, I think someone else mentioned booting with Command-Option-R for Lion recovery. Never tried it myself but it's probably worth digging around a bit to see if it's viable. cheers, Slau On Jan 4, 2013, at 12:19 PM, Cameron Strife wrote: > Slau, how would one go about downgrading onc

Truthfully, I never usually use it, but I didn't really have much choice, as I tried to go through the official channels first, and couldn't find any legal way of obtaining Snow Leopard that was fast enough. Also, I'd purchased SL in the past, so I didn't feel bad about getting it torrented jus

Hi Trevor, That shouldn't be the case. First, you need to verify that you downloaded the license to your iLok. Go to their web site, log in with your iLok key inserted into an available USB port and take a look at what's on the key. You shouldn't need to reinstall any plug-ins. The software sho

Hi Slau, I don't know if the site was down but I had a problem at first authorizing it, but, someone from avid very kindly authorized it for me. Then I went on to the ilok site as he told me and downloaded licences. I checked them and the one I wanted was there so, I am fairly certain that I adde

Hi Trevor, Did you mean to say that you've sorted out the activation on the Avid site? Did you have an iLok authorization deposited into your iLok account? Did you successfully transfer the license to your iLok key? Slau On Jan 4, 2013, at 1:10 AM, trevor wrote: > I have just bought protools
