Thank God. Go Super Apple Defender, worship that company. Keep up the

Here's some Apple users who are not defending but complaining.
Hopefully the Mac Loony who paid twice for Lion because the Apple
Store computers told him to will get his money back - when he
contacted tech support, they referred him to email - Goode Lucke!

Users report issues installing Apple's Mac OS X 10.7 Lion
By Katie Marsal
Published: 01:55 PM EST
A handful
_understated description for mass hysteria at the Apple support
_webpages
of Mac users have reported problems upgrading their system to Mac OS X
10.7 Lion, with various error messages, problems and quirks stemming
from the Mac App Store download.
One growing thread at the official Apple Support Communities relates
to an issue where users are asked to select the disk where they want
to install OS X. When attempting to select their Macintosh HD as the
install destination, user 'Dancepal1948' said they are given the error
message: "This disk cannot be used to start up your computer."
_Bwah, ha, ha - didn't recognize the boot disk - must be because it
_was an older Mac and Apple wants the user to buy a new one.
Another user, 'Junction10,' said they had no problems installing Lion
on their MacBook Pro, but when attempting to apply the upgrade on
their iMac, the same error occurred.
_again, the older Mac syndrome - Lion is coded to resist installation
_on older Apple hardware, bet on it!
"My disk also shows GUID Partition Table, but I too had the message
that Lion cannot be installed on this drive," they wrote.
Apple Support told the person to run Repair Disk Permissions and doing
a "clean" repair via the original Snow Leopard install DVD. But then
when attempting to retry the installation, the Mac App Store allegedly
says that Lion is already "Installed," forcing them to launch the
actual installer from the system's Applications folder.
_What a crock! Lion writes a code on your hard drive when you install
_it and if it doesn't work the first time you don't get a second
_chance. The only way to insure you get a good install is to buy a new
_Mac with Lion installed.
Users who have experienced that particular issue tend to have multiple
partitions on their Mac, which could be causing the problems. Users
utilizing Apple's Boot Camp software to run both Windows and Linux
installations in addition to OS X have reported problems with
installing Lion.
_best to do a clean install whether it's Mac or Windows
_my upgrade win7 install wrote all my XP user files to an OLDWIN
_directory and installed win7 in it's own partition - works great
Those posting in the thread have offered a number of potential fixes,
including the deleting, resizing and repairing of disk partitions.
_wipe it and start anew
In another, smaller thread, some users have encountered different hard
drive problems related to S.M.A.R.T., or Self-Monitoring, Analysis and
Reporting Technology. 'Aisling Doherty' and others have been met with
errors stating that a disk has S.M.A.R.T. errors that cannot be
repaired when attempting to install Lion.
_old hard disks again, buy a new Mac and all is well! If the hard
_drives had problem, how come it didn't show up while running Snow
_Leopard? Looks like a Snow Job(s.)
Most people posting in the thread have encountered the issues when
attempting to install on an iMac all-in-one desktop. The original
poster said they contacted Apple support and were instructed to
initiate a disk repair, but those steps did not resolve the issue.
_get a new Mac - the iMac is too old to handle the new software, coded
_for new machines.
"It's clear that the problem comes from Lion and not from the disk of
our iMac," 'zelaurent' wrote. "Wait'n see. Apple will probably provide
a patch to us."
_don't wait too long! Ask for a refund. Early adoption is bad news.
_Best to wait and see while reading the forums.
Users have also reported Mac App Store-related issues when attempting
to buy both Lion and Lion Server. User 'Robert Breeding1' found what
they called a "process problem" in which the Mac App Store does not
recognize a prior purchase of Lion when attempting to install Lion
Server on a separate machine.
As a result, the storefront requires users to buy two copies of Lion,
even though users are allowed to install one purchase on multiple
machines based on the Mac App Store terms of service.
"So i bought Lion and its downloading on my usual mac," they wrote.
"then went to my server and tried to purchase lion server. i was told
i had to buy lion and lion server both for $79. both computers use the
same store account. so why do i have to buy lion twice?"
The person said they contacted Apple in an attempt to receive a refund
for purchasing Lion twice, and they were referred to e-mail support
for App Store purchases.
_This guy is a brainwashed Apple loonie fanatic - paid twice without
_even blinking and then got e-mail support. Wake up Bobby, wake up!
_Guess another 30 dollars was no big deal for him.
Lion launched on Wednesday and is exclusively available through the
Mac App Store for $29.99. The digital download destination first
opened in January, and Lion is Apple's first major operating system
release that is only available via digital distribution.
Apple announced this week that it will make Lion available on a USB
thumb drive this August. But the company has discouraged users from
obtaining the latest version of Mac OS X in this manner by pricing it
much higher, at $69.
_Got to get the lackies to come through the Apple Store - got to get
_them used to buying through the Apple Store online downloads so that
_Apple can save money by eliminating physical distribution and get all
_users in the database for ultimate control. Rumors are that the
_thumb drive has gold-plated contacts which accounts for the extreme
_high price - or it may be a large capacity thumb drive which would
_make it worth the money. Nah, it's Apple overcharging again.
Hee, hee, hee, ha!
Look at this thread at Engadget. Oh My!
Super Defender Boy Alan will come in to call them all liars soon.
