Can I install apps on my multiple macs with a promotional code?

I have Lion on my iMac; I redeemed it with a promotional code (i.e. free) and I cannot put it on my macbook pro.  Is this because it was "free"?

"can i install itunes on my new computer"
Yes you can. You'll get the latest versions of all the software at these links:
iTunes Download
Quicktime Download
iPod Updater
"what will happen with all my tunes, will they copy from my ipod to itunes or what???? "
No they won't. You can't sync or drag your music back directly from an iPod to iTunes, the transfer of music is designed by default to be one way from iTunes to iPod. However there is a manual method of accessing the iPod's hard drive and copying songs but not playlists back to iTunes on Windows posted in this thread: MacMuse - iPod to iTunes
If you prefer something more automated then there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod, this is just a selection. Have a look at the web pages and documentation for these, they are generally quite straightforward.

YamiPod Mac and Windows Versions
PodUtil Mac and Windows Versions
iPodCopy Mac and Windows Versions
PodPlayer Windows Only
iGadget Windows Only
If your iPod is set to update automatically then change the setting to manual on your old PC before you connect it to the new one. Once it is in manual mode you use your iPod and connect it to an empty iTunes without the risk of accidentally erasing it:

Managing Your Songs Manually
Whichever of the retrieval methods you choose, keep your iPod in manual mode until you have reloaded your iTunes and you are happy with your playlists etc then it will be safe to return it auto-sync again.

  • How can I install ML in a second mac with out pay

    i have two macs ind I want to install ML in the second mac how can i do i have to pay again

    Install Snow Leopard or Lion on the other computer. From that computer sign into the App Store with the same Apple ID used to purchase Mountain Lion. Click on the Purchases icon in the toolbar. Locate the Mountain Lion entry which should now have an active Install/Download button on the right.
    Also, read:
    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:
    Open Disk Utility in your Utilities folder.
    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.
    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.
    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.
    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.
    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:
    Double-click on the InstallESD.dmg file to mount it on your Desktop.
    Open Disk Utility.
    Select the USB flash drive from the left side list.
    Click on the Restore tab in the DU main window.
    Select the USB flash drive volume from the left side list and drag it to the Destination entry field.
    Drag the mounted disc icon from the Desktop into the Source entry field.
    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 can try using Lion DiskMaker 2.0 that automates the process.

  • HT1338 I dont have a mac book air can you install apps like (angry birds, temple run)

    I dont have a mac book air. Can you install apps like angry birds and temple run?

    Can you install them on what? Those are both iOS apps (meaning they can be installed on iPods, iPhones and iPads), but iOS apps cannot be run on either a Mac or a PC. I believe that there is a Mac version of Angry Birds as well, which is completely separate from the iOS version of Angry Birds.

  • If I buy Lion from apps store can I install it on all the Macs I own?

    Yes. Each one needs to have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 installed in order to re-download from the App Store unless you make your own USB flash drive installer:

  • How can I install apps on a device that has a "for work" app installed?

    Hi, I have an iPod touch version 4.3.5 (ML1). Model is MC540C.
    It has been provided for me from work, but I can use it as I wish.
    The apps that are installed are:
    Facetime
    Music
    Photos
    Camera
    Videos
    YouTube
    Stocks
    Notes
    Weather
    Utilities
    App Store
    Game Center
    Settings
    Contacts
    iTunes
    Safari
    Maps
    Mail
    Calendar
    "one app installed by company"
    The last app is needed for when I do work. It doesn't need to run on the background. When I'm doing work, I need to input some information in that app, and sync it to my company's server.
    I would like to install some apps (free) of my choosing. But I'm coming across a hurdle...
    I choose "App Store" in Home.
    I search for a free App (for example the Google Search app by Google Inc)
    I'm taken to the app's info screen. I tap the blue "Free" button.
    The button becomes a green "Install App" button.
    I get a pop-up box saying
    Apple ID password
    [email protected]
    [password]
    How can I install apps of my choosing without having a "work app" get deleted? This work app was installed on the "[email protected]" Apple ID.
    Thank you.

    Ingo2711, when you did this:
    I logged out of my AppleID on the iPod, took it to his computer, synced it, which erased all of my apps. I installed the default apps plus one app that he bought using his account info.
    You made his computer the syncing computer.
    When you did this:
    Connected to my Mac and iTunes and tried to sync one of the apps I bought with my account. The app shows up on one of the pages before you start the sync, but once you apply the sync, it does not transfer.
    And, of cause, no restrictions set at all.
    You changed syncing computers but you can only sync apps (and some other things like photos) from only your one syncing computer.

  • Can I install Mountain Lion in my Mac Pro

    Can I install Mountain Lion in my Mac Pro?  This is my main computer and i only wnt to move forward if I know that it is 100% compatible with OS 10.8.  They tell you to look to see when it was built but there is no date that I can see.

    Upgrading to Mountain Lion
    To upgrade to Mountain Lion you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 or Lion installed. Purchase and download Mountain Lion from the App Store. Sign in using your Apple ID. Mountain Lion is $19.99 plus tax. The file is quite large, over 4 GBs, so allow some time to download. It would be preferable to use Ethernet because it is nearly four times faster than wireless.
         OS X Mountain Lion - System Requirements
           Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Mountain Lion
             1. iMac (Mid 2007 or newer) - Model Identifier 7,1 or later

  • Using OS X Install CDs/DVDs On Multiple Macs

    Using OS X Install CDs/DVDs On Multiple Macs
    The question of using system/software install CDs/DVDs on more than one machine is frequently asked.
    So, FYI:
    System software installation CDs/DVDs, that come with a particular Mac model, are hardware specific to that model, and not intended to be used on other Mac models. For instance, the CDs/DVDs that are shipped with an iMac are not to be used on an iBook or eMac.
    And the "Tiger" DVDs that are shipped with any new Mac, also are not to be used on other Mac models.
    If such an installation were possible, or somehow accomplished successfully, that action would constitute a violation of your license agreement, which limits installation to a single computer.
    The "Single User Software License Agreement" can be found here Software License Agreement.
    Similarly, any "Upgrade" CDs/DVDs for a particular Mac OS will ONLY work for that Mac & system. For example, if a new Mac that shipped with Jaguar/Panther, was purchased shortly before the release of Panther/Tiger, the user may have purchased "Upgrade" CDs/DVDs, for a lesser price than the full install set. These CDs/DVDs do not contain all of the necessary components for an independent installation of Panther or Tiger.
    The license agreement applies to single user retail versions of system software. The "Panther" or "Tiger" boxed set, for example.

    Here are the requirements for Lion:
    http://osxdaily.com/2011/06/07/mac-os-x-10-7-lion-system-requirements/
    In order to install Lion you have to have Snow Leopard and then update to 10.6.8:
    http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
    Personally I suggest that you stop at Snow Leopard.  It still is the most efficient OS that Apple has devised and it still works great.  Go to the Lions only if there are feature that you really need.  There may be a price to pay in slower performance though.
    Ciao.

  • Can I install more memory on a mac mini

    Can I install more memory on a mac mini?

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    Of course. You can upgrade the RAM always that you do not have a Late 2014 Mac mini (I am not sure that you can install more RAM, and if you can, it will void the warranty), and you can purchase more RAM at OWC or Crucial.

    Oliver,
    Are you getting activation errors? As Ned stated , it is easier to troubleshoot if we have the specific type of error and error detail that you are getting.
