Can I copy my Lion operating system from one computer to another in the household

Can I copy my Lion operating system from my Mac Air to another household computer?

It should also be noted that you can upgrade all Apple computers in your home free IF you paid for one license.
It should also be noted that you are NOT supposed to sell a computer that contains an UPGRADED copy of Lion.

  • Can i copy my entire hard drive from one computer to another?

    I am buying a used ibook 900gh 640ram 40gb hd using 300mh clamshell now - i would like to copy my entire hard drive from the clamshell to the new ibook OS and all so when i use it everything will look and work exactly like it does on the clamshell - can i do this easily? disc copy when booted from a CD?

    Hi, not on Tiger at the moment, so I can't be certain, but...
    I may be wrong, but I thought the Networked Mac only came about in Leopard's Migration assistant.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1554
    Setup Assistant, included with computers that have Mac OS X 10.3.4 or later preinstalled, can transfer data (including account settings and home folders) from a previous Mac (that's using Mac OS X 10.1 or later) to your newer computer. You'll need a FireWire cable to connect the two computers together. The Assistant offers to transfer (or "migrate") data from your older computer when you turn on your new computer for the first time. Make sure the older computer's firmware is up-to-date first.
    The only way I see this is going to happen is with a USB/FW external drive, and painfully Clone the Clamshell via USB 1.1 to the external drive, move the drive to the iBook and connect via FW.

  • Can I transfer an iTunes movie rental from one computer to another?

    A movie I rented on one PC with iTunes Windows won't transfer to my main PC.  I'm using the latest version of iTunes and Windows 7. 
    I also have an iPhone 4s with iOS 6.  I can't transfer the movie rental there either. 
    (I want the movie on my main PC, because only that PC will show it on my TV.  Both PC's are suthorized.
    Help!

    Sorry, but rentals cannot be transferred from one computer to another. Unless someone's found a trick I haven't seen, if you want the rental on your main PC, you'll have to pay to rent it again. As to transferring the rental to your iPhone, see:

  • Using Home Share, on the same account, can i transfer / download my iTunes library from one computer to another?

    I have a match account and i am not trying to share with another account, i am only trying to move from one computer to the other. I see my music on the new home laptop but i think they are only showing b/c they are in the cloud and i am worried that the moment i give up my other computer and and that library is blown away (its a work computer that my library will be gone, I know really poor planning).

    Decide which one will be the Master/primary Mac for your iTunes.
    If it is the new one then get a ext HD and drag/copy the iTunes folder to the HD then plug it in to the new Mac and drag the iTunes folder in to the Music folder or connect the 2 Macs via TB/FW/Ethernet and drag the iTunes folder to the new Mac.

  • Can I transfer a itunes gift card from one computer to another?

    My son has a itunes account set up on one computer, but now that computer has issues. We managed to set up another account for him on our main computer, but he wants to transfer the itunes gift card money from the messed up computer to our main one that his new account is set up on.  Can this be done? And how can we do it?
    Thanks

    The iTunes gift card money can't be transferred between iTunes Store accounts. Log into the old iTunes Store account and stop using the new one.

  • Can I copy over an iPod game from one mac to another?

    I bought a game at home on my laptop. I sync my ipod to my Mac at work so my question is this. Can I locate the file on my laptop and then copy it over and import it into my itunes library at work. In the past, I used Podworks to copy games from my iPod to my other computer, but recently Podworks has stopped working and the makers don't reply to my emails (word of warning to anyone reading this...don't buy Podworks!) - so I'd rather not have to buy software to copy over the files.
    If I sync my games with the mac at work it just deletes iQuiz and all my high scores & history on other games I've purchased.
    Cheers,
    Smartmart

    Use the instructions in this article to locate the games, and then move them to the new computer; these will have an extension of ipg.

  • HT201250 Can I copy a time machine backup from one mac to another?

    I have two Mac Book Pros that I use for work - I have one at home and one at work. I'd like to copy the contents and setup from my work Mac to my home Mac using a time machine backup, and then continue to use the time machine backup back at work. I.e. the time machine would only be used with the home Mac to copy over the contents and setup of my work Mac.
    Can I just do a straight time machine back up in my 2nd (home) mac, or will this override the back up I have from the 1st (work) machine?
    Thanks!

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    Of course. Note that you can restore a Time Machine backup on all the Macs you want, always that the Mac uses the same or a newer OS X version than the one that had the Mac you used to make this backup.
    Also, you can back up different computers to the same Time Machine drive. In this case, Time Machine will create different folders in your Time Machine drive for each computer, so one Mac backup won't conflict with the other computer backup.
    To restore a backup, use Migration Assistant. Just connect the Time Machine drive, open Migration Assistant (it's in /Applications/Utilities) and follow the steps to restore the backup onto the computer

  • Copy and paste additional content from one computer to another

    I recently installed Logic pro on my macbook, I already have it installed on my iMac.
    I am facing problems in downloading and installing the additional audio content from Apple website.
    is it possible that I can copy additional content from my iMac and paste in Macbook.
    If yes, where the additional content is saved on iMac and where should I paste on my macbook.
    any solutions.
    thanks

    some people have reported issues trying this with content not being found etc...
    On a sidenote: I am pretty sure that in some of those cases what actually happened was that people opened Logic immediately after installing or copying content, and then expecting Logic to find this, but the Spotlight index (which EXS24 and NI's Kontakt use to find samples) was probably still busy updating.
    This can take a few minutes up to half an hour or more (e.g. after installing big sample ibraries).
    A pulsating dot inside the magnifying glass Spotlight symbol, on the top right corner of the screen, indicates that the Spotlight Index is being rebuilt or updated. Other indications are active MDS and/or MDWorker processes; those can be seen in Activity Monitor.
    (these processes are usually open, the CPU % is what matters)

  • How can I transfer or make readable files from one user to another on the same iMac

    I have migrated files from a windows PC to my Imac. The transferred files have been saved successfully against a new user (which I can access). How can I make those files available to the all users of my Imac?

    In FINDER, drag and drop the files into the Public Folder.  All Users can then access those files.
    Hope this helps

  • How can I move my DRM-protected movies from one disk to another on the same computer without running afoul of the big movie houses?

    I need to off-load my digital copies to another disk I just bought, located on the same computer, so I can have more room for other things; my collection is getting too big, I guess.  I'm afraid if I just move them and re-integrate them back into the iTunes library, it will mess up the DRM status and lock me out entirely.  I'm hoping it won't treat this exercise as one of my allocated copies and increment the counter counting device transfers.  Any ideas as to how to safely do this (without hacking, etc.)?
    Thanks.

  • How can I send a whole ITunes library from one computer to another? AIM

    Okay, I am trying to send a whole library of roughly 800 songs using Aol Instant Messenger. I have tried many different ways, sending the ITL file, the itunes 4 music library. When I tried these and replaced the library with it, it worked, but didn't know the original locations of the songs. the whole itunes folder would of taken too long. Is there any easier way to do this? Thanks.

    The files that you are sending are only database files that tell Itunes where the songs are and your ratings playcounts etc - that is why on the 2nd computer it cannot find the song files.
    You need to actually send the song files themselves which as you all ready have pointed out are probably too big to do via AIM.

  • How do you transfer PSE from one computer to another when the original purchase was on line without a disc?

    I have PSE10 on a WindowsXP machine that I upgraded from PSE8.  The upgrade was done with a download; no disc.  The only disc I have is the PSE8 version.  I now have a new Windows 8 machine.  How can I get the PSE10 program onto the new Windows 8 machine?  I will also need to transfer the organizer information.  Thanks for any help anyone can provide.

    Hi there,
                  I see that you have informed 2 things:
                  1. Upgraded OS WindowsXP to Windows8
                  2. Do not have installation media Disc for PSE10 as you purchsed as download.
                  1. Please note: PSE10 is not compatible with Windows8, it's not tested on this OS, however you can try working on this, in case if you face any issue it will be extremely hard to get it resolved,
                  so I would still suggest you go with Windows 7 in case if you have it. For Adobe Photoshop Elements 10 System Requirement visit [ System requirements | Adobe Photoshop Elements ]
                  2. Mostly downloads are provided by directly Adobe, so you can directly login to your adobe.com account and download the software from there, you only need to have the installation media of current version software,
                      When you try to activate the PSE10, you need to enter the serial number of PSE10, as it's an upgrade, you will be asked for it's previous qualifying serial number of PSE8.
                      ......................If you need help in finding serial number, please visit [ Find your serial number quickly ]
                    -> In case if it's purchased from a reseller, you may  not get the download now, for that you have have [ Other downloads ]

  • How to move AE5 from one computer to another without the disc?

    I am working for a company that installed Adobe After Effects 5 last year on one Imac machine and we need to move that program to another computer. I believe they downloaded the application. We have a serial number, but don't want to install it on the computer it was downloaded on. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks

    If the company purchased an electronic software download version of the product then you should be able to complete the following steps to download the software:
    Go to the Adobe Store for your country and sign in with your Adobe ID and password.
    Click My Orders and then My Order History.
    Locate the order number, and click the Download link in the Downloads column.
    Start the download by doing one of the following:
    Click Download and follow the onscreen instructions.
    Click Akamai Download Manager and follow the onscreen instructions.
    Click Alternate Download Method, and then click the .7z and .exe files (Windows) or the .dmg file (Mac OS) to download the software to your computer.

  • Can you copy Modern-app settings from one computer to another?

    Has anyone tried copying settings of Modern apps from one computer to another?
    Example: let's say that I wanted to copy the settings from the Photos app on one computer to a thousand other computers.  Would this work?  Are settings for Modern apps in a format that can be easily copied?
    This topic first appeared in the Spiceworks Community

    Thank you! It's so obvious now that I've given it some thought (hindsight is 20/20, right?) Wish the Apple tech at the store had thought of it before I was sent on my merry way and was under the impression I had what I needed.
    Def appreciate the quick answer from you tho'
