I have a MacBook Pro 2006 and I want to wipe the memory. I erased memory but when I try to reinstall Mac OS X 10.7 It says "This ... is not available at this time" "Try again later" I am connected to Internet I tried different networks and different apple ID accounts and it still won't let me. I am stuck on the Mac Utilities screen and I can't access anything. PLEASE someone help me. Thankyou

Did you download it first from the App Store and either create an install DVD or USB? Your 2006 MBP may not support downloading it from the install setup.

It sounds like you are booted to the Lion recovery partition. When you get to that screen you will need to enter an AppleID that was used to purchase Lion. Did you previously purchase Lion with your AppleID?
