FAQ for OS X on 4530s!

[senica]

I have OS X Lion updated to 10.7.3, and now I have troubles with sleep mode. When my HP 4530 works on batterey, it works ok, but when it is connected to electricity, sleep mode doesn't work. What can I do with it?

Did you have any luck figuring this out? Is there a patch for this? I'm having the same issue. It's not a huge problem, but I figured if there is a fix for it, might as well put it in.

Hi blueking!

I can't get the .zip to open from the desktop after a absolute fresh install?!

I followed the instructions to the letter but when I double click the "HP ProBook Installer.zip" downloaded from your thread it just says cannot open because the file directory doesn't exsist? (error 2 )

Please help, I have spent 2 weeks on this bloomin probook and I can't quit now!

Thanks so much for your hard work!

Installer link is broken in OP. I used this users link and it worked.

I have researched how to install LION OS on Probook 4530s in this forum for a week.
And I've just bought Probook4530s 2 days ago.
Unfortunately, mountain lion has just released yesterday and I cannot follow the installation guideline step by step because I cannot download Lion OS from app store anymore.
Currently, all I have are LionOS.dmg and a Retail DVD.
Questions:
How can I install Lion OS into my probook? Help me please.

zanbee, try this - Re-Download Lion From the Mac App Store

Thank you.
But I haven't purchased Lion OS.
This is what they said.
"However, users can re-download it -- and then create a Recovery USB Key -- if they have already purchased it."

Taking delivery of a new Probook tomorrow myself. Guess I'll be installing Snow Leopard
until we get some help with what to do from there.

The best option now seems to just install Mountain Lion from the get-go. Unless there is some reason you want SL. There is no way to get to Lion from SL without a Lion download.

I like SL so will probably just install it. Have a question
that I couldn't find any info on. I want to dual boot Win 7
and SL but, my Probook (4530s) didn't come with a Windows 7 DVD.
It does have the option to create a disk image but from previous
hackintoshing experience I'm guessing I won't get anywhere installing windows
from an image after installing SL. I see HP does offer a set of recovery disks for $10 but those are
most likely images also. Is anyone dual booting with Win 7 and how did you do it?

Call HP support, they will send you two DVDs, one for Windows 7 and one for the drivers.
