Hi,
I have a Macbook Pro (early 2011) and reinstalled the whole OS X with the DVDs. Now I have Mac OS 10.6 Snow Leopard on it.
My intention is to download and to reinstall OS 10.7 Lion, that I bought at the day of its release.
The BIG problem I have is, that the program is not any more at the Mac App Store. How can I download it now?
MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.7)
You update to Snow Leopard 10.6.8.
Once you did that, you can download Mountain Lion from the Appstore (paid). The Appstore is in the Applications folder when you have 10.6.8.
Check compatibility of the Apps before you upgrade (www.roaringapps.com).
You can step to Mountain Lion without first downloading Lion.
I advise to jump over Lion and go to Mountain Lion, your MBP can handle that perfectly well.
When you absolutely want Lion, you have to call Apple and they will give you a link (paid) to download Lion (or you ask for a CD).

Launch the App Store app, login to your account, then OPTION-click on the Purchases tab. That should reveal Lion for DLing.

Mac OS Lion 10.7 isn't any more at my purchased apps, even when I use the OPTION-click. That's why I have the problem to redownload Lion.
I just want to download what I paid for!
Lion is hidden, so you must unhide it > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4928 After unhiding it, you will be able to download it in the Purchases tab
Thank you VERY much for your help!
You are welcome
Now, the question is "when did you go and hide it?"😉
