Hi, You don't need to enter your ID to clean install lion, or at least I didn't, all I did was connect via ethernet cable since the wifi menu is currently inaccessible, and it worked straight away. Hope this helps!

I haven't had to put my id in once I made the purchase. Install never asked for it. Have I missed something?

However, when I get to the part of the install where you have to put in your apple ID, apparently, that window is opening in the background. Since we don't have access to all the voiceover features, I can't seem to focus on that window in order to put in my ID. I was able to shut off vo, and by tapping the trackpad randomly, I was able to get it to the foreground once. However, I can't do it again. > > I am wondering if anyone has discovered another, more reliable way of getting it done? > > I am assuming that burning a CD would result in the same problem. > > If anyone has an idea of how to get around this,I would appreciate knowing about it, thanks. > > > -- > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group. > To post to this group, send email to macvisionaries@googlegroups.com. > To unsubscribe from this group, send email to macvisionaries+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com. > For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/macvisionaries?hl=en. > -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.
