  • If I downloan Mac osx lion, does that mean that i will have to pay for Mac osx mountain lion

    If I download Mac os x lion, does that mean that i will have to pay for Mac os x mountain lion? or will it be like an upgrade for free?
    I am just not to sure as to whether I buy it now or later? Please help.
    Thanks.

    If you do not find Lion or Mountain Lion features compelling, I recommend you not buy it AT ALL!
    10.6.8 works for most of the stuff I do, and I only got 10.7 to play with it.
    If you are using
    Photoshop CS2
    AppleWorks
    Word 2004 or earlier
    Quicken 2007 or earlier
    Eudora 6
    FileMaker 6
    look long and hard at 10.7 -- these Applications along with hundreds of other less-popular titles are no longer supported in these versions!!

    iCloud backs up your iOS device (not your Mac) automatically. You can remove the backup:
    http://help.apple.com/icloud/#/mm122d3ef202
    and it will not back up again. This will not affect a backup made using iTunes. The notice you see refers to calendars, contacts, iWork documents and so on, which live on the server and are read from there by your Mac, and so will obviously disappear if you turn iCloud off altogether (which you don't need to do) or turn off Documents (which you don't need to do either).

    and then use the purchased serial number to activate the software.

  • My iTunes won't open! It keeps saying 'The iTunes Library.itl is locked on a locked disk or you not have write permission for this file.' Please Help!

    My iTunes won't open! It keeps saying 'The iTunes Library.itl is locked on a locked disk or you not have write permission for this file.' Please Help!

    this may happen on external drives if:
    The external drive was hotpluged (removed) without going the correct "eject" way
    The iTunes library (database) got corrupted
    First Aid for external drive
    Close iTunes
    Unmount (eject) external drive the right way.
    Mount drive again
    Go to Workplace -> right click external drive -> choose "clean up" This will force the filesystem to rescan the file structure of the drive and rebuilding the file system table and journaling file.
    After the tool shows "done" (could last some time depending on size of drive) restart iTunes
    If your iTunes library is on your internal drive, this may happen
    The system was not shoot down correct, e.g. "pulled the plug"
    The iTunes library (database) got corrupted
    First Aid for internal hard drive
    Close iTunes
    Reboot system
    Go to Workplace -> right click external drive -> choose "clean up"
    After the tool shows "done" (could last some time depending on size of drive)
    Reboot system, restart iTunes
    If none of the above fixes your problem, post here.

  • If i get the mbp now do i have to pay for the new os lion

    if i get the mbp before the new os comes out, will i have to pay for it later???

    Yes, but remember, OS X Lion is new, it's going to have bugs, problems, drivers won't work and all kinds of other **** because Apple has integrated the MacAppStore deeply into the OS.
    Best to wait 6-8 months until the dust settles.
    Snow Leopard is stable and works, everything works reliably.
    Lion will be $30 or so, chump change for 8-9 months of less headaches.
    But you better hurry and get a Mac fast, or else it comes with Lion by default.

  • Price for os x mountain lion if you have more than one macbook

    Is there a different price if you're purchasing for more than one macbook to update to OS X Mountain Lion? Or is it $20 per device?

    While we all have MacBooks in this forum most of us don’t run Mountain Lion. There's a Mountain Lion Support Community where everybody has Mountain Lion. You should also post this question there to increase your chances of getting an answer. https://discussions.apple.com/community/mac_os/os_x_mountain_lion

  • Do i need to pay for os x mountain lion twice

    I have an imac and a macbook, if i download OS X mountain lion from the app store, do i need to pay for it twice?

    No. You may install on as many computers as you own that are now running Snow Leopard 10.6.8. If you wish to save some time re-downloading Mountain Lion then see:
    Make Your Own Mountain/Lion Installer
    1. After downloading Mountain/Lion you must first save the Install Mac OS X Mountain/
        Lion application. After Mountain/Lion downloads DO NOT click on the Install button.
        Go to your Applications folder and make a copy of the Mountain/Lion installer. Move
        the copy into your Downloads folder. Now you can click on the Install button. You
        must do this because the installer deletes itself automatically when it finishes
        installing.
    2. Get a USB flash drive that is at least 8 GBs. Prep this flash drive as follows:
      a. Open Disk Utility in your Utilities folder.
      b. After DU loads select your flash drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left
          side list. Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
      c. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one.     
          Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, set the
          partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Click on the Partition button and wait until
          the process has completed.
      d. Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the drive entry) from the left side
          list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
      e. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, check the
          button for Zero Data and click on OK to return to the Erase window.
      f. Click on the Erase button. The format process can take up to an hour depending upon the flash
         drive size.
    3. Locate the saved Mountain/Lion installer in your Downloads folder. CTRL- or RIGHT-click on the installer and select Show Package Contents from the contextual menu. Double-click on the Contents folder to open it. Double-click on the SharedSupport folder. In this folder you will see a disc image named InstallESD.dmg.
    4. Plug in your freshly prepared USB flash drive. You are going to clone the content of the InstallESD.dmg disc image to the flash drive as follows:
      a. Double-click on the InstallESD.dmg file to mount it on your Desktop.
      b. Open Disk Utility.
      c. Select the USB flash drive from the left side list.
      d. Click on the Restore tab in the DU main window.
      e. Select the USB flash drive volume from the left side list and drag it to the Destination entry field.
      f. Drag the mounted disc icon from the Desktop into the Source entry field.
      g. Double-check you got it right, then click on the Restore button.
    When the clone is completed you have a fully bootable installer that you can use without having to re-download Mountain/Lion.
    Note: The term Mountain/Lion used above means Lion or Mountain Lion.
    As an alternative to the above (you still have to do your own download of Lion/Mountain Lion) you can try using Lion DiskMaker 2.0 that automates the process of Steps 2 through 4.

  • Why can you not use Apple Pay for purchases in the App Store or iTunes?

    To make a purchases in the App Store or iTunes, it appears you can only pay by entering Mastercard, Visa, Discover, or AmEx information.   If you select none and try to make a purchase, you will again be prompted to enter this information.  I would like to use my Apple Pay account to pay for Apps/tunes, but that doesn't  seem possible.  It seems this negates one of the primary benefits of Apple Pay, which is to make purchases without turning over your credit card information to the merchant, in this case Apple.  I know you can pay with Touch ID, but that is only authoring payment from your credit card information you have on file.

    Hello ToastyFlake,
    It sounds like you are wanting to use ApplePay to purchase content from either the iTunes or App Stores. According to the following article, you are correct. ApplePay is for in-app (if the app supports it) or purchasing from a retail store. 
    Set up and use Apple Pay
    Pay with Apple Pay in stores
    On iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus, you can use Apple Pay in stores that accept contactless payments. Look for one of these symbols at checkout:
    Pay with Apple Pay in apps
    On iPhone 6, iPhone 6 Plus, iPad Air 2, and iPad mini 3, you can use Apple Pay to pay within apps when you see the “Buy with Apple Pay” or “Apple Pay”  button as a payment method. Look for these buttons in apps:
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    Cheers,
    Sterling

  • Why do I have to pay for update garageband in lion?

    I just bought new macbook air which is os x lion. so garageband come with it. But I saw update garageband in app store, then i clicked. I lost money for update.
    I need to know why i lost 14.99$ with update for garageband? If it come with lion, i should update for free?

    It's not really a "problem" since the version of Garageband on the Mac App Store and the version on your Mac you just bought are the same version you did not need to buy Garageband. In the future all updates to Garageband, and the other iLife apps that came pre-installed on your Mac will come through Software Update.
    You can email MAS support from this page and see if they will help you.

  • Why do I not have 'Save as' and 'Versions' in Mountain Lion 10.8.2

    I know these features were brought back in Mountain Lion but I don't seem to have it. I think I didn't have it when I was running 10.8.1 as well.
    Most of my iWork software does a strange thing by saving the file with a '~' at the end of the name, when ever I make changes. This seems to be acting like a backing up system. How do I get back 'Save as' and stop this whole '~' thing?
    Any help will be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks

    I don't know what's going on here.  I have tested Numbers, Keynote and Pages in all cases Duplicate changes to Save As, Close changes to Close All, simply by doing this... In the Menu Bar, Select File hold the Option Key [alt] click Save As give it the new name, select iCloud or your Mac from the Dropdown Where list click Save.

  • Confusing battery trouble after water spill.  Not quite sure what the problem is but would rather not have to pay for diagnosis.

    Hello there!
    So a few weeks ago now I made a schoolboy error and spilt a small amount of water over my 2009 macbook pro while it was closed.  It wouldn't wake up when I opened it so I decided to try and open it up, although it took me forever to find a screwdriver small enough to get the back off.  When I finally managed to take a look, there was a small amount of moisture on the battery.  I left it to dry for a day or so, although probably not as long as I should have done and then when I tried to boot it up again it worked!
    However!
    Since its been working again, the battery has permenantly said that it's 'not charging' although often it does seem to charge in spite of this.  I had thought / hoped that this might be fixable simply by replacing the battery, but I dont want to spend a load of money on a battery, should there be more to the problem than this.  Also I have noticed that the battery says 'replace soon', rather than 'replace now' which makes me wonder if the problem could in fact be something do with the logic board instead. 
    Does anyone have any suggestions as to what I could do next?  Of course I would like to be able to fix it and have a normal working battery again, but failing that, some insight as to where the problem might lie would be extremely helpful.
    Here is all the battery info, which doesnt really mean much to me, but may be of some use.  Many thanks to anyone who helps!

    Do you know how easy it would be to just take the battery out......
    That depends on your MacBook Pro variant, which we don't yet know (don't know your OSX version either). Different variants and screen sizes have different battery specs. If you need to find out your model before replying, you can enter your serial number in this Apple web page:
    Check Service & Support Coverage
    And it will translate to a model. If that doesn't work (I'm having to give options here because I don;t know your OS version):
    1) For Mac OSX 10.7 "Lion" and later, do "About this Mac" and, in the resulting window, press the "More Info..." button to get this:
    The red arrow I added indicates your model and screen size.
    2) For Mac OS 10.4 through 10.6, do the same except the "More Info..." button will bring up this screen:
    Again my red arrow poiints to pertinent data. Please post that code BUT not any serial numbers. With these OS versions you need to provide the screen size separately, either 13, 15 or 17 inch.
    Once you've gone to this trouble it is a very good idea to add it to your equipment line in your forum profile so helpers don't ahve to go through this again for future questions. See my equip line below for an example of enough info to get fast help.
