Try to figure out why it isn’t working for us. What is obviously working for you is also obviously not working for some of us (for who knows what reason but it’s not through lack of reading and comprehending the instructions) is no reason to lash out like that. Please note that one of the commenters above had also gone through Apple’s support line, and these same instructions failed him.
Please acknowledge the fact that there are a number of us who have read the instructions and who have failed to get any results. You can’t even try to click on the Lion purchase. If clicking the option key doesn’t do anything when you click the Purchases button, then you are nowhere. I did and I had a friend come over and read as well.Ĭlicking the option key (left or right, multiple USB and BT keyboards) when launching, when clicking the Purchases button, etc. In other words, it works, we promise! Option-click that Install button!ĭoggone it Paul, quit telling us to re-read the instructions. This tip has been verified multiple times on different Macs with both OS X Lion and Snow Leopard, here is a screenshot of OS X Lion re-downloading from the App Store within Mac OS X Lion: Update: The instructions have been clarified to hopefully alleviate some of the confusion a few commenters have had. Thanks to our commenters for the reminder We probably should have posted this much earlier to clear up any potential confusion, but better late than never right? This is the same trick you use to install Lion final over the GM build (they are the same build number unless you have a 2011 MacBook Air or Mini), and really the primary purpose of this is so that you can make a Lion install drive or use the recently available easy Lion Disk Maker tool. If you’re already running OS X Lion and you do this, you’ll get a pop-up warning that says “A newer version of this app is already installed on this computer” but you can click again and download anyway. If you already bought Lion, you should not be charged twice for any additional downloads of Lion. Option-clicking on OS X Lion from Purchases and then the “Install” button from the OS X Lion App Store page hasn’t failed us, but there do seem to be conflicting reports. Some users have trouble with that method, and instead they can try holding Option while launching the App Store in addition to when clicking on the greyed out installer next to OS X Lion, allowing you to download again.
