OS X Mountain Lion (version 10.8) is the ninth major release of OS X (previously Mac OS X, now called macOS), Apple Inc.' S desktop and server operating system for Macintosh computers. OS X Mountain Lion was released on July 25, 2012 for purchase and download through Apple's Mac App Store, as part of a switch to releasing OS X versions online. Mac OS X 10.7—better known as Lion—is available for direct download. In fact, it’s available only as a download from Apple’s Mac App Store. In many ways, this new method of.

Please note, this does not work if your version of Lion came pre-installed.. such as on one of the new Mac Mini 2011's.... You will get a message stating 'This version of Mac OS X 10.7 cannot be installed on this computer'
But maybe this hint should be renamed '10.7: How to RE-download the OS X Lion Installer on Lion' because I'm pretty sure that when you buy and install an app for the first time, no matter what, the installer run by itself and install the app and then vanished (as in, there's no real way to get a complete copy 'before' the first install). Of course, this doesn't apply to Lion (and possibly others apps) since Lion ask you if you want to do the install now, once the download is complete (thus giving you time to get a copy of the app), I might be wrong 'tho.
Ok, what am I missing. I just tried this with 3 different Apps (Reeder, Mac Tracker, and Skitch) and none of them seemed to work. Held option key while clicking the app link (not the 'Installed') from the 'Purchased' tab and then held option while clicking the 'Installed' link on the App page. I also couldn't get the 'error' message to appear if I didn't hold option on the second click.
Running OS X Lion 10.7.1 and App Store 1.1.1 (88)
The title of this hint is 'How to download the OS X Lion Installer on Lion,' not 'How to download the Reeder, Mac Tracker, and Skitch Installers on Lion.'
same here.
I don't get an error-message and no app will re-download until I delete it. With other Apps I don't see a reason to do this since they are all self-contained but the Lion-Installer would come in handy for making an Install-Disc.
But besides: How would I know the App redownloaded??? It's allready in the Apps-Folder otherwise I wouldn't be a re-download...sooooo...?
This is weird indeed. It definitely works with the Lion Installer (if you purchased Lion on the App-Store).
It also worked with several Apps on my Mac, i.e. Text Wrangler (which is a Free App). But after you commented I tried with other Apps, and it didn't work. For example I tried the Xcode Installer, and couldn't re-download it.
I can't even see a system, which works and which doesn't. Should have checked that more thoroughly when I submitted the hint. I was too focused on the Lion installer.
This does exactly what all the other hints for this topic do: NOTHING :(((
Why does it Apple make so hard to redownload this installer???
I had the same problem when I installed Lion on the first day of its release and found out the hard way that the installer is deleted after the installation is completed (Apple, that was not very user friendly).
Anyway, to get the Lion installer again, I simply booted on the Snow Leopard clone I made on another volume before installing Lion on my main partition (I hope everybody does this before updating to a new OS version). There I opened the App Store and went to the list of purchased apps. The Lion label was now 'Install'. I simply clicked on it, entered my password and an hour later I had the new Lion installer.
Then, I opened the installer's content to get the InstallESD.dmg and made a permanent installer on a USB stick, which I can use now to reinstall Lion whenever I need it.
I can't get this to work with any app, including the Lion installer. I option-click on the app's name or icon in the Purchased window and get the app's page. I then Option-click the Installed button and nothing happens. If I click on the Installed button, I don't get the alert; nothing happens.
The same for me. Nothing happens.
Fortunately I saved a copy on my original download, which is just as well as it takes me about 8 hours on a good day.
I also tried with the Lion Installer and that didn't work for me either. Not sure what the trick is, but there does seem to be some difference. I wonder if this has something to do with the newer Macbook Air (2011) or Mac Mini (2011) systems that run a slightly different version of OS X?
Where does this get downloaded to? I was able to get it started downloading, but nothing shows up in Downloads or any cache folders I could find. It started to try to re-install Lion, so I just quit the install process. I imagine the installer is on the drive somewhere since I have 4.x some gigabytes less disk space. Any ideas?
Thanks!
Under purchases it shows Lion as being installed, however when I click on the Lion link (using the option key) it then brings up the lion page and shows up with the $29.99 price tag again!
If I click on it (without the option key) it comes up as installed???
This isn't working for me, either. I Option+click on the link from the Purchased section of the App Store. I then Option+click on the word 'installed' and nothing happens. I quite the App Store and went back in and now the 'installed' button is showing the price of $29.99 and clicking on that button wants me to authorize the purchase!
Looking like you will get charged again for Lion.......
This can happen when one has also installed a 'cracked' version of a different piece of App Store software that was originally 'bought' using a different Apple ID. Usually, when you then click on the purchase button it will then ask for your Apple ID and if you enter your own ID (and PW) you won't get charged for the item you really did buy, in the case.. Lion.
I don't have any 'cracked' software on my computer and I'm logged into the App Store with the same Apple ID that was used to purchase the Lion upgrade.
When I try this hint, there is something that doesn't work as written... The hint says that after I do an 'Opt-Click' on the Lion link, I should get on the Lion web page (that's Ok) and see a button labeled 'Installed'... and that's the problem. I see a button labeled 29.99$ !!! I don't want to purchase it again... so I stopped here.
I use a French keyboard so I tried with 'Cmd-click' and 'Ctrl-click' on the Lion link but it doesn't work...

Where does this get downloaded to? That is, from where can I use and move the Lion Installer file?
Thank You

It worked as described for me; the 'Install Mac OS X Lion' app (of almost 4 GB) is downloaded to the main /Applications folder.
