[QUOTE="schlagi, post: 1618422, member: 336474"] Hi Luke, apologies, I just typed a lengthy reply, only to get logged out of the forum and losing all the text. Please bear with me, I will give you a condensed version only. NOTE: YOU WILL DO ALL THIS AT YOUR OWN RISK. I STRONGLY RECOMMEND CREATING BACKUPS OF ALL THE MACS INVOLVED. YOU MAY LOSE THE DATA ON YOUR IMAC. Regarding the creation of a Lion USB stick, please see here: [url=http://osxdaily.com/2011/07/08/make-a-bootable-mac-os-x-10-7-lion-installer-from-a-usb-flash-drive/]Make a Bootable Mac OS X 10.7 Lion Installer from a USB Flash Drive | OSXDaily[/url] or use this tool: [url=http://diskmakerx.com/whats-this/]What is DiskMaker X ?[/url] In both cases, on your sister's Mac, open the AppStore, log out of her account and into yours. Lion should be visible in the purchased items; if it isn't, go out of purchased items, and hold down the option key when clicking on it again. Lion should now be in the list of purchased items, click on load and lean back, 5GB may take a while. If the installation of Lion should start on your sister's Mac, ABORT IT! Then follow any of the instructions above. Once done, you can boot your iMac from that stick (again, google should provide you with a host of tutorials, so you may want to search for one that you find suits you best), go ahead and install. More in a second post EDIT: After this is done, do not forget to change the AppStore Account back to your sister's. [/QUOTE]
