i need to download 10.7.0 (10.7.2 max), where does Apple keep earlier versions of OS?

Don't be a wise guy. (He was holding it wrong.) Seriously, why did you not just use Lion Restore (free) describeed here. And you use it with Apple servers not Time Machine. At least you have a piece of history and in form of a thumb drive... how cool is that. Oh... macs do just work, as long as we don't yell at it and neglect it. Be nice to your machine... and if be buy the 64 bit application (when available). Also don't forget to hold it correctly.

From report the internet recovery was on 10.7.3. But then others said it was still on 10.7.2.

Not sure why the OP didn't give that a shot.

I used it a week or so ago and got 10.7.2 but then other said it had been updated. Who really knows.

I'm not going through the 1 hour download process again as I have all the InstallESD.DMG files I can handle.

true. I guess my question was more for the original poster. Although i have tried Lion Recover just for fun and to fix the little glitches I might have caused my self and was rather very impressed both with it and the Recoovery Disk Assistant. I can not remember anything ever being like that on any type of platform. (sure beats having recovery disks), and Time Machine is great too.... but i am really impressed with the Lion Recovery.

Not sure what you are implying with that screen shot. The App Store is complete different from the Lion Recovery download.

That is a screen shot of the App Store tonight (Australian) It shows simply that 10.7.3 is the current default download. Go to your own App Store and check. You were just querying if it was correct that 10.7.3 is now the current download and as you can see from the App Store, it is. n which case if you reinstall Lion, you will be installing 10.7.3

Right for the APP STORE. It has been like that in the US for a week or more but the Lion Recovery system was still on 10.7.2.

Whether it is now I don't know. But as I said they are 2 completely different downloads. One when you go to the store and one when you use the built in recovery system.

I see what you mean now. Sorry, didn't realize they were downloaded from different places. Just thought with the internet connection necessary it was the same. Apologies again. Learn something every day with things in the computer world moving so fast.

Thanks

No problem Pete.

You are not the only one that makes that mistake or assumes that if one place has the newest that all places (download servers) has the newest version.

I found this out because I installed the Update and didn't care for it so I reloaded a backup of the .2 version. I then went to the recovery system to get the complete download thinking it was the newest version so I could do a parallel install on a external to check out the real differences. When I got done with the 1 hour download and installed it on a external drive it was 10.7.2 not the .3 version. Even though the App Store had the .3 version as the only download.

Hi Pete

So what would it take to get you to put that 10.7.0 that you have squirled away onto a bootable thumb drive that I could use to install 10.7.0 on my mac? Avid Media Composer isn't operating on 10.7.3 only 10.7.2 and that's all I can get from Apple. Tech support there suggested I find someone like you who has 10.7.0 becasue they don't have it available anywhere anymore.

you can reach me direct at samsmall at ptd.net or (973) 271 0788

thanks

I am using Lion 10.7.3 and Nikon Capture NX 2.3.0 works ok.

You might be better off using Lion 10.7.3 and fixing the problems with your PRO apps.

What problem are you having with Nikon Capture NX 2.3.0?

I am having a similar problem with NX 2 under 10.7.3. I am currently running NX 2 2.2.5 but 2.3.0 refuses to install giving the error message "Current Operating System is Below Minimum Requirement. Capture NX 2 does not support this volume format."
