Lion wont Re-install

I am having the same issue....have you been able to find anything?

you came to something?

I have the same Issue? anyone for helpe ?...

I'm having trouble while trying to re-download Lion.

It stops and comes up an error.

I'm trying to make a bootable usb with diskmaker X but it doesn't work.

Anyone knows how to restore?

Hi all,

I just ran into the same issue, and have spent my last 3 hours trying to find a solution or something like it. I've tried way too many things, re-installing from original Apple DVD also, and nothing worked until I ran into a post. It is from a guy who had this problem and solved it by inserting the previous owner's Apple ID (luckily for him it was his father). I seems to be a sort of security feature to prevent people from, I don't know, stealing you MacBook and re-install everything so they can use.

I haven't got a hold on the previous owner yet, so I wasn't able to try, but I wanted to share that with you since I'm completely terrified by the chance of this not coming back (some of you've been dealing w/ it longer than me).

Let me know if anyone tries and works.

Regards

I did it!!!

Here's how I did:

• Download Lion from Mac App Store on another Mac
• Make a bookable USB drive using this guide: http://osxdaily.com/2011/07/08/make-a-bootable-mac-os-x-10-7-lion-installer-from -a-usb-flash-drive/

If you you use El Capitan as I do you'll have a different layout of Utility Disk, so after you mount Lion installer, you have to restore the USB drive using the file image you just mounted

• Plug your USB drive into the Mac
• Boot your Mac holding Alt
• Select the USB drive

It will take a lot to load from It

• Choose to reinstall Lion
• Done!

How did you download this on another Mac? I've tried, but search on App Store won't find it!

I found it in purchased on the Mac app store

Downloaded it last night

Tks

So, I've tried it and it worked as well.

The only thing is that I did with El Capitan, instead of Lion, because it was not showing in the "purchased" area, not with mine or the previous owner's Apple ID.

It is running real smooth so far, I used the diskmaker app to make the bootable usb, with the OS already downloaded on the computer. It is self-explainable and very easy-to-use. Takes a little while though.

Hope this helps!
