I have two Macs.. how to install on both?

I have two Macs.. how to install on both? Also.. does one need to do a clean install i.e reinstall op system from a clean HDD?

Go to each mac and sign into the Mac app store with you apple ID. on the first one you will buy the app on the second one you will be able to just download it. Of course be sure to follow the licensing agreement.
You don't need to reinstall the OS, you will want a clean install next month of the new OS which may mean re-downloading the FCPX software.

    You don't. You can install the same copy of FCP-7 on two macs (as long as you own both macs). You can't operate both copies at the same time.

    You likely have iCloud turned on in at least Safari. If you don't want Safari to sync between these devices turn one of them off. System Preferences - iCloud - Safari (uncheck the box)

  • I have two macs. I have two itunes libraries. How can I sync my iphone with both

    Itunes is driving me insane every single day now.
    I have two macs so I obviously have two itunes libraries. I have purchased things on both my desktop and my laptop UNDER THE SAME ACCOUNT.
    How Can I add/sync media from both without having to erase EVERYTHING. So ridiculous.
    Thanks

    To share the iTunes content between your computers, just enable Home Sharing from iTunes > File > Home Sharing.
    You'll still have to sync the iPhone with just one iTunes library because of the copyright restrictions that iTunes must follow.

    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
    Pages for the iPad and Pages for a Mac are completely different, so you have to purchase them twice, one for the iPad and another one for the Mac. The only advantage is that, if you buy another iPhone, iPod touch or iPad, you will be able to install Pages for free on all of them.
    As you are running Mac OS X 10.6.8 on the MacBook, you can't purchase Pages from the App Store, so you have to buy iWork '09 on a DVD on Amazon or eBay in order to install it

  • I have two .mac addresses; how does this work in iCloud?

    This is not about consolidating Apple ID's... I think.
    When I got my first .mac address, I thought I picked a good one at the time. Later on, due to the peculiar spelling, I opted for an additonal (paid) address which I use every day. Now the first one (which is an Apple ID) contains my calendars, contacts, etc. I never use the email portion of it, again because of challenging spelling. The second .mac address (also an Apple ID) is an email only account. This is the email account I use daily.
    When I make the transition to iCloud, I intend to keep my original AppleID (from the pre-.mac days) as my iTunes store ID.
    My question is, what happens with my two other accounts?
    .mac #1 with the contacts and such would move to iCloud and sync everything there as it currently does with MobileMe. Since .mac #2 is an email only account, would I even need to bother moving it to iCloud (if that's even possible), or would I just keep using that as email only using the current mail settings on my iThingys and Mac? Does anyone know if .mac #2 will live on after MobileMe vanishes, or will I loose my daily and coveted .mac email at that time?
    I'm sure Apple has a good reason for not allowing us to just consolidate everything in one place, but I know there are many out there with a similar situation to mine.
    I've spent a good deal of time tonight searching the various threads and can't seem to find an answer to the two .mac email dilemma. My appologies if it's already been discussed.
    To sum up, I have one Apple ID that I use for iTunes and intend to keep as such. I have two .mac addresses which are also Apple ID's; one that syncs with MobileMe and one that is email only. I would like to use iCloud to sync what is currently on MobileMe, AND continue to use the simpler email address that I've been using for years.
    Am I screwed??
    Thanks in advance for your help, and Happy Holidays to all!!

    Migrate the account which contains your calendars, contacts etc. first, at http://me.com/move and set it up on your Mac and devices.
    http://www.apple.com/icloud/setup/mac.html
    Now migrate the email-only account in the same way. On a Mac you can add it in System Preferences>Mail, Contacts & Calendars - it won't sync anything but will be added to the accounts in Mail where you can then use the email in the normal way.
    I don't know what the equivalent process on an iOS device is; very likely you need to add it as an account in the Mail app.

  • We have two Mac laptops, does anybody know if you need to purchase the Lion upgrade for both?

    We have two Mac laptops in the household, does anybody know if you need to purchase the Lion upgrade for each?

    No. You only pay for Lion once and can then install it on all of your household Macs.
    Purchase Lion in the App Store using one of your Macs and the install button will appear for Lion under the Purchases tab when you open the App Store with your other Mac. The App Store will ask for your user name and password to install Lion but won't charge you for the second install. If you have more than one iTunes account use the one that you used to purchase Lion. All apps in the App Store work this way.

  • I have two Macs--a flat-screen iMac that uses i-tunes 9 (its max) and a MacBook Intel duo that uses i-tunes 10 (its max). Both are on sharing. I am trying to put the Library from the flat screen i tunes music onto the MacBook. I have carefully followeBook

    I have two Macs, an i-Mac flat screen that runs on OSX.4.11 and i-tunes 9 and a MacBook Intel Duo that runs on Snow Leopard and i-tunes 10.  I have carefully followed all the Advanced instructions for sharing music libraries, which is not a problem; however I am unable to transfer following the instructions to drag the music I want from t he i-Mac flat screen library onto the MacBook. Help! Please! Also, my new Nano will not accept i-tunes 9 which is where I have my old i-pod contents stored--the old i-pod died.  Many thanks!

    UPDATE: I disconnected the iPhone, restarted it, and tried again to sync it with the iTunes library on the iMac. This time it worked
    Now I'm going to try to transfer the music into the iTunes library on the PowerBook, then sync with that, delete the library on the iMac, and sync the (hopefully full of all my music) iPhone with the iMac again.

  • Need help- have no idea how to install original airport on G3 Powerbook

    I just bought an ornignal airport card on ebay. I have no idea how to install it (i think it goes under the keyboard, but specifically where?) also, it didn't come with any software...do I need some kind of driver? I am so confused. All I know is that I spent over $100 for this thing and would love it if I could get it to work. Really want to go wireless...can anyone please help. (already checked all over the support page and called apple and asked them to point me in the right direction, but have gotten no where. thanks in advance.

    Thea,
    I get the impression you cannot return the AirPort card...this would be my first choice. Since the card is not recognized, either the card is bad or your powerbook has a hardware issue (doubtful).
    Do you have an Apple Store nearby?
    You might also contact your local User Group...there should be good help available:
    http://www.apple.com/usergroups/
    Your alternatives are these:
    - find another original AirPort card (limited to the slower 11Mbps speed) to try;
    - remove the internal AirPort card and buy a one of these wireless PC cards that run at the faster 54Mbps speed and are simply inserted in the PCMCIA card slot on the side of the 'book:

    http://www.buffalotech.com/wireless/products/airstation/WLICBG54A.html
    The above cards have the Broadcom chipset that Apple's AirPort software supports. If you have already installed AirPort 3.1.1, you are ready to go.

  • I have two macs at my house, and multiple iPhones. I want to keep the same apple id as everyone else, but i want to put my own music only on my iPhone. I want to do this with my laptop which is not the family's main iTune's computer.

    If you use the same Apple ID for iCloud on each device, yes. However, you can use the same Apple ID for iTunes content on each device, but different Apple ID's for iCloud, iMessage, FaceTime, etc., on each device. That way, you can have whatever iTunes content you want on each phone, but keep all of the other data separate. You can create another Apple ID here:

  • I have two Macs: an MBA and the new iMac.  Is there a way to have iTunes and all the content in it identical on both machines?

    I have two Macs: an MBA and the new iMac.  Is there a way to have iTunes and all the content in it identical on both machines?

    Yes you can copy the content to your new machine and use Home Sharing to keep the content identical
    Connect the two machines via an ethernet cable it is 3 times faster than Wifi. Turn wifi off on one machine to enforce ethernet connection
    In System Preferences, Sharing turn on File Sharing
    Then
    Copy the music/itunes folder from the Macbook pro to the music/ folder on the imac
    Both machines should now have the same library
    Disconnect H the ethernet cable
    Set up Home Sharing and under Settings at the bottom of the Home Sharing page. Select to transfer new purchases.
    Do the same on the other machine.
    Then when you r machines are connected by wifi and each time you start itunes it will transfer your new purchases
    Setting up home sharing

  • So all the bookmarks I've "bookmarked" for the past year are just gone - I have a mac, how do I go back & retrieve everything I've ever bookmarked on Firefox?

    So all the bookmarks I've "bookmarked" for the past year are just gone - I don't understand why Firefox just doesn't automatically save every bookmark you make each session & put them in a place so you can organize them ... maybe there's some extra step you can take every session to force firefox to do this - I don't know what that is - but am also a bit aggravated that there has to be an extra step to do this - Internet Explorer just auto saves everything you bookmark, why can't Firefox - I see this as a big disadvantage to Firefox that needs to be made much simpler ... I have a mac, how do I go back & retrieve everything I've ever bookmarked on Firefox?
    I think all the details are sufficiently covered in the question (which then in filling out the help form Firefox quite sillily made me shorten so I reposted the whole thing in this comment above - just another unnecessary step, seems to be the Firefox norm)
    And btw the articles on lost bookmarks, saving bookmarks, etc. - were not helpful at all. Very not helpful. Almost anti-helpful.
    I generally like Firefox & use it all the time, but this one area as to bookmarks is very frustrating & causing me to seriously consider not using Firefox at all & switching back to Internet Explorer or another browser like Google Chrome. What's the point of bookmarking something (which by itself indicates you are wanting to save the site link so you can re-find & re-visit it in the future) if Firefox just auto deletes all your bookmarking everytime it starts up? Just a completely user-unfriendly idea.

    A possible cause is a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.
