Hey there!
Please keep in mind that I have never before used a Mac and are therefor really inexperienced with the OS
Yesterday I bought a Macbook Pro (2nd generation) from a random dude on the Internet. Today I want to formate the computer to get rid of his old junk! My problem is that when I try to recover I get denied, because my Apple-Account doesn't own OS X Lion, which is currently installed. Do I need to buy Lion or did I do something wrong?
When I tried to formate I pressed Command + R during boot, which brought me to some kind of recovery. Then I just pressed Install Lion on my harddrive.
If the case is that I have to buy Lion, then where do I buy it? I read somewhere that you have to mail Apple to be able to buy it, since it isn't on the App Store anymore. Would it be possible to buy Mountain Lion instead? I read somewhere that it might not work on this Macbook Pro (as I said, it's the 2nd generation, late 2006).
I'd be grateful for some answers!
Thanks
