Thursday at 5:46 PM. I have my boot Lion system drive. I noticed the system drive has a question mark on it? Boots up fine except, every once in a while it will turn on but will not boot up and I have to hold the power button in and force shutdown, then unplug it then plug it back in and it boots up fine. Format drive for Mac: In Disk Utility, go to Partition Volume Scheme 1 Partition. Create volume name, choose Options GUID Apply. In Lion SharedSupport folder, copy and drag.dmg file to Disk Utility Source. Drag volume to Destination Erase Destination Restore. To boot: Insert flash drive in Mac and restart.

Apple made Mac OS X Lion and Mac OS X Mountain Lion available for download for free here in the summer of 2021. This is the first time either version of the software was available for free. All versions of the operating system released after these cat-themed releases were delivered for free to users of Apple products.

• May 15, 2013 11:49 AM in response to Radiation Mac In response to Radiation Mac. Check the system date, that fixed the issue for me. Open terminal, type: date. Set the date to the correct date like this: date 11. Which, believe it or not, sets the date to 09:58 on Apr 21st, 2011.
• OS X Lion, also known as Mac OS X Lion, (version 10.7) is the eighth major release of macOS, Apple's desktop and server operating system for Macintosh computers. A preview of Mac OS X 10.7 Lion was publicly shown at the 'Back to the Mac' Apple Special Event on October 20, 2010.

Starting with Mac OS X 10.9 Mavericks, Apple started making updates to their operating system free for compatible devices. You can still buy Mac OS X lion and Mac OS X Mountain Lion from the Apple store for approximately $20 each, but they’ve also been made available for free through Apple support documents.

If you head to the Mac OS X Lion Installer page or the Mac OS X Mountain Lion Installer page, you can drop in and download each operating system version for free.

If you’re looking to download Mac OS X Mountain Lion, you’ll need at least OS X Snow Leopard, Lion 10.7, or Mountain Lion 10.8. You’ll also need 2GB memory, and 8GB data storage. If you’re looking to download Mac OS X Lion, you’ll need OS X Snow Leopard 10.6.6 or OS X Lion 10.7 (weird, right?) already installed. You’ll also need 7GB data space and 2GB memory on your machine.

This version of the Mac OS X Lion installer has a file size of 4.72GB in and of itself, and it was first posted (for free) on June 23, 2021. The current version of the Mac OS X Mountain Lion Installer was posted on June 23, 2021, and has a file size of 4.45GB.

These downloads will more than likely be used by IT specialists aiming to recover data from older Apple computers. While some of the oldest viable Apple hardware may still have recoverable data, software used to recover said data isn’t always compatible with the operating systems on the devices that’ll be the target of said software. This free pathway to updates makes the whole process a whole lot simpler.

Summary

This article discusses known issues that may occur with Office for Mac applications on MacOS 10.7 (Lion).

Note

• Microsoft has been working with Apple from the early days of MacOS 10.7 (Lion). Through this partnership, many issues were addressed leading up to the Lion release. Microsoft will continue to work closely with Apple to address problems that may occur with Office for Mac 2008 and 2011 and Lion OS.
• Sync services are not available with OSX versions 10.8 (Mountain Lion) or higher.

More information

There are two major Office for Mac issues Microsoft is aware of running on Lion:

1. Communicator for Mac crashes when you send an IM or start an audio/visual call.

   Note

   Microsoft will resolve this issue in an upcoming update to Communicator for Mac.

2. Office for Mac 2004 will not run on Lion.

   Note

   Previous MacOS versions supported Rosetta, an Apple Mac OSX bridge technology that enabled applications such as Office for Mac 2004 to run on the latest chip architecture for Mac. Because Lion no longer supports Rosetta, applications that relied on it will no longer function under the new MacOS.

Here is a list of other known issues that Microsoft is currently investigating. These issues will likely only be encountered in specific situations or configurations:
