I have Lion 7 on my desktop, and want to put the same on laptop

I have Mac Lion 7 on my desktop and want it on my currently 6.8 laptop so I can use stuff like mission control, do I have to purchase an upgrade, and if so why not just go to Mountain Lion on both?
Help

If both Macs qualify to upgarde to Mountain Lion you only need to purchase Mountain Lion one time. You can re download Mountain Lion on the laptop using the same Apple ID for free.
See Step 1 here  >  Apple - Upgrade your Mac to OS X Mountain Lion.

  • Under Snow Leopard I used a WD My World NAS to back up my Mac Pro (Mid 2010). When I upgraded to Lion I am unable to access the backup because the NAS does not yet support AFP. I have now bought a Time Capsule and want to transfer the old backup onto it.

    How can I recover the NAS back up to put on my new Time Machine.
    Talking to Apple Support Adviser was a waste of time on case number 239647273
    Any thoughts or pointers?

    Keep the old OS around and just kick the tires and test new OS. Apple has a history and habit of breaking support in things like this.
    You can use TimeMachine as one level of backup, and even there there were changes with Lion, I would always recommend foremost backup clones of every volume. And clone (SuperDuper etc) can be stored on something like HP NAS Media Server which also was supporting TimeMachine, iTunes - until Apple made that harder and more their own proprietary format.

    Cloning as a Backup Strategy
    Rather than "upgrade" I would clone the system, and do a clean install, then allow Setup Assistant to import your files.

  • HT4847 I don't have Lion of working IOS 5 and want to downgrade my storage how do I do it

    I don't have Lion of working IOS 5 and want to downgrade my storage how do I do it?

    You can only do this on a Lion/Mountain Lion Mac or an iOS5.6 device. If you don't have these how did you manage to add storage in the first place? If you are a MobileMe migratee you would have been given an additional 20GB as a concession but this expires on 30 September and will simply be removed if you don't pay to upgrade it, so you need do nothing if this is the additional storage you are concerned about.
    If you did somehow manage to purchase extra storage and now wish to downgrade it you will need to contact Support.
    You can cancel an iCloud storage upgrade within 15 days of buying:
    Apple have made this as difficult as possible. However two posters have managed to achieve this. Elizellen was able to use Express Lane to get a refund:
    https://discussions.apple.com/message/19323996#19323996
    However if you use Express Lane may find you cannot proceed without entering a hardware serial number which is still eligible for AppleCare.  julia22 managed to find a way round that by phoning them - please see this post:
    https://discussions.apple.com/message/16968425#16968425
    it gives the USA number - if you don't live there you will have to find an equivalent number from the 'Contact Us' link at bottom right of this page.
    If it is more than 15 days since you purchased the storage you cannot cancel it for a refund; you can downgrade your plan as from your next renewal date. Please see
    http://help.apple.com/icloud/#mmd602084a
    and expand 'Downgrade your storage for the next plan year'. If you are unable to access the required setting you will again have to contact Support.

  • Using different templates for the desktop and phone versions of the same blog

    I have a site which was created in Adobe Muse and is hosted on Business Catalyst.
    I have created both a desktop and a phone versions of the site.
    I  want to know how I can integrate the blogs that I  currently have on the desktop site with the phone version that I just did, using different templates for the desktop and phone versions of the same blog. This is in order to ensure that visitors to the blogs on the website are directed to the templates that render correctly for the devices they are using.
    My current approach has been to create both a desktop and phone versions of the blogs. The problem with this however, is that the dates are different and the comments are separated between the two blog versions!
    I  have also tried enabling mobile templates in BC, but still couldn't find a way to specify the mobile versions of the templates for the same blog?
    To recap my problem, I basically  need a solution where the same blog uses different templates for desktop and mobile (both templates use different navigation headings and menu styles)
    Thanks.

    There can be few reason for this, including page contents links or contents used in phone/tablet version.
    Please provide the site url , also try to publish the site as a trial site in Business Catalyst with all layouts which would help to isolate the issue.
    Thanks,
    Sanjit

  • I have 3 iphones, an ipod touch and an Ipad on the same itunes account.  should I have a different account for each device?  If so how do I get all my purchases, like music on all the devices?

    I have 3 iphones, an ipod touch and an Ipad on the same itunes account.  should I have a different account for each device?  If so how do I get all my purchases, like music on all the devices?

    You can sync as many devices as you want to the same iTunes account, there is no limit. You can have the same content on each device or different content, the choice is yours. iTunes will keep everything straight, by device, including separate backups. I'd suggest giving each device a unique name, to make things easier.

  • I have finalized my iMovie photo slideshow and wanted to burn the imovie onto dvd. how can i do this so i can watch it on my television?

    i have finalized my iMovie photo slideshow and wanted to burn the imovie onto dvd. how can i do this so i can watch it on my television?

    Hi
    If there is no iDVD on Your Mac (and it's not on newer Macs as Apple discarded it) then You need a program that can do this.
    Your Mac can burn CDs and DVDs - BUT DVD as Data-DVDs not as Video-DVDs - they need a program to be encoded and STRUCTURED as such.
    • iDVD is part of the boxed version of iLife'11 and can only be bought outside Apple as on Amazon and e-bay
    • DVD Studio pro - Part of FinalCut Studio Pro bundle - this to has expired and can only be bought second handed. (High price and tough learning Curve - but best ever done.)
    • Roxio Toast™ - Not as elegant as iDVD - but has many other positive additions (I like it as 10-Pro incl BD-component) (now version 11)
    • Burn - only free alternative I know of on internet. Very simple - Just for doing a plain Video-DVD
    Burn http://www.digital-digest.com/software/Burn.html
    only You can buy from Apple is
    • FinalCut Pro-X which also can burn to DVD but without any nice themes.
    AppleMan1958
    You can also buy Compressor from Apple for $50 US. It will also create DVD and BluRay but without the nice themes.

    Contact sales support by web chat. They can cancel your current subscription and transfer you to the new one if you are within certain criteria. Otherwise you may need to wait until your subscription runs out and then sign up later.

    How do I change my cell phone number on my iCloud account with my iPad? I have a new number and want to activate the iCloud

    If you're talking about the phone number on your iPad for iMessage, the number is associated with the ID when you turn on iMessage on your iPhone.  If the number is incorrect, try turning off iMessage on your phone, wait a minute or so, then turn it back on.

  • I have a Mac Pro 1.1 and want to put one or two large screens HD displays on it. What might I need to up grade and which HD TV or displays or the best for the money?

    What do I need to up grade my computer? Which displays and or HDTV's might be the most cost effective to get?

    Disk drive using native SATA bus interface will allow the drive to copy and always present and ready.
    But once you have backup any hourly changes should be smaller and as long as the NAS and your switch should allow enough.
    You should always have off line backups and don't rely on just one backup set or just TimeMachine.

  • How do i make a still image (photo) fit the length of the music? I record music and want to put the tracks to a video file with a still image of my business logo in the background. Any help?

    How do I make a still image (photo) fit the length of the music? I record music and want to convert the tracks to a video file with a still image of my business logo in the background. On windows movie maker you could just select "fit to music" but this program isnt as easy to figure out! Any help?

    Double-click on the still image in the project timeline to open the Inspector. In the Inspector, adjust the duration by typing in a new duration to match the length of your music. I think the limit for a still image is 10 minutes. If you need more than this, simply drag the image into the timeline again then adjust its duration. The two images will play seamlessly (no gap will be visible).
    See this iMovie Help topic:
    http://help.apple.com/imovie/#mov3a883915
    You can achieve more precision when entering durations by changing a preference in the menu item iMovie Preferences. Check (tick) the preference for Show Time As HH:MM:SS:frames. This will enable you to enter the duration of stills down to the frame level, rather than full seconds (NTSC is 30 frames per second; PAL is 25 fps). When entering times, type a colon between each time segment, such as 2:50:15, which represents 2 minutes 50 seconds and 15 frames. For 5 seconds 20 frames you would enter 5:20 and so forth.
    Note that the music will only run to the length of the video in the timeline (in your case, the still images). So, after increasing the stills duration you will need to drag the end of the music track as far as required. The stills can be dragged inwards to reduce the duration if necessary.

  • I have a 2008 13" Mac Book and want to put a solid state drive in it

    I installed Lion firdt and then Clones my hard drive to the solid state drive but it has issues.
    I tried to do a clesn install on the solid state drive but the install will not complete

    The macbook originally came with OSX Leopard, which I upgradedto Snow Leopard.
    I then increase the Ram to the full 4Gig and then upgraded the OS to LIon OS 10.7.5
    I decided to swap the original hard drive with a Kingston SSDNow 100V+.
    I used Carbon Clone to clone the original Hard drive and swapped the drives.
    The issue I am having is that the sytem freezes and I get the pinwheel and have to push the power button to shutdown. The sytems restarsts but I never know when I will get the pinwheel.
    I have taken the SSD out and put the original drive back in.
    I did try to do a clean install onto the SSD by reformaytting the SSD but at the end of the install the installer loops back to the beginning, or I get the pin wheel again.
    Is it possible that the Kingston Drive is not compattible?
    Thanks for the help.
