Can I use an app on more than one computer?

if I buy an app for my mac, can I use it on my powerbook?

Not if you download it from the Mac App Store. The Mac App Store requires Mac OS X 10.6.6 or later which will not run on a PowerBook. If there is an application that also has a version that will work with the older OS on your PowerBook, they likely would have no way of knowing that you bought it from the Store and you would have to pay again.

  • Can't use the iPod on more than one computer!!!!!!!

    Ok, This has got me so frustrated! We got an iPod and installed iTunes. We thought we had it figured out - we purchased music from iTunes, played it on the iPod and everything was great. Then plugged the iPod into my other computer to listen to our music and it won't freakin' play! says the computer is "Not Authorized" and suggests that by 'authorizing' the 2nd computer, it will overwrite the songs that are already on the iPod. This is NOT desirable. We've downloaded and installed iTunes onto the 2nd computer and used the same login account that we used on the first computer.
    What gives!?!?! I thought this was supposed to be easy, but it's not! I was hoping for a quick and simple "plug it in and start listening to music." This is definately not quick and simple. Albeit, I'm new to this iPod craze, but this shouldn't be so difficult. I've poked around on the website and cannot seem to find an answer to this.
    HELP!!!!
    Thanks
    oh btw, Is anyone else getting annoyed by Apple's rediculous attempt at monopolizing this market by forcing us to use thier own proprietary software?!?!

    First of all, any computer that plays purchased content must be authorized. This can be accomplished by opening iTunes, then store>authorize computer. If you wish to use your iPod on more than one computer & not have your iPod content erased, you will have to have your iPod preferences set on "manually manage". See the following link.

    Also, it's not only Apple that uses proprietary software. How about Zune players, & several others?

  • Can i use my ipod with more than one computer?

    i synched my ipod with one computer, hooked it up to another and it says i can't sync with more than one library? it says i have to restore it but i dont want to delete my music off of my ipod, i just want to add the music from this other library

    I have two different iPods and two computers. I regularly use either iPod on either computer.
    First set the preferences so itunes will not automatically sync when ipod is connected.
    Then connect the ipod and set itunes to manually manage music.
    Drag and drop whatever content you want to the device showing on the left.
    If this was the default setup, there wouldn't be all these posts about people losing all their music when they connect their ipod.

  • HT201250 Can I use Time Machine on more than one computer?

    I have a new Mac Air and would like to back up to my existing Time Machine which I also use for my older Macbook. Can I use back up both on time machine?
    thanks

    General rule of thumb is you need a drive about 2-4 times the size of the total amount of data being backed up. See #1.
    Time Machine FAQ
    I backup 2 computers to the same drive and have never had any problems.

  • Can i use my ipod on more than one computer?

    ok i have my comuter at home and then a computer at work.
    and basically i want to use them both to update my computer but ive heard you can only use it on one computer because if you install it onto another one it clears the hard drive?
    so can i have it on two computer?
    many thanks
    alex

    hi reko!
    i am at work now and have just downloaded itunes, and have my cable with me now, and i am wondering if i plug it in right now will it erase my ipod? because i haven been home to set it to "manual"?
    good question.
    if it asks you if you want to associate your ipod with the library on the work computer, say "NO!" (if you do associate it while you're on auto it will replace everything in the ipod with the contents of the work itunes.)
    if it then shows up in the sourcelist of the itunes at work, try switching it to manual on that PC.
    if no joy though, it would probably be best to head back home and switch it manual from there.
    love, b

  • Can you use Quicktime Pro on more than one computer?

  • Using Adobe apps on more than one account?

    Is there a fix forthcoming for the problem running CS4 on Leopard, where you can't use Adobe apps on more than one user account at a time (via fast user switching?) When I switch over to my 2nd account, I get some sort of "licensing error" dialog unless I quit all Adobe apps in my first account, which is incredibly annoying.
    Thanks.

    Greg,
    Adobe's single-user licensing allows for your installation and
    non-simultaneous use on two computers. And the software may think that two different users are trying to use the software simultaneously. You might try contacting Adobe tech support and ask.

  • How can i use my iphone with more than one itunes

    how can i use my iphone with more than one itunes

    Sync iPod/iPad/iPhone with two computers
    Although it isn't possible to sync an Apple device with two different libraries it is possible to sync with the same logical library from multiple computers. Each library has an internal ID and when iTunes connects to your iPod/iPad/iPhone it compares the local ID with the one the device normally syncs with. If they are the same you can go ahead and sync...
    I have my library cloned to a small 1Tb USB drive which I can take between home & work. At either location I use SyncToy 2.1 to update the local copy with the external drive. Mac users should be able to find similar tools. I can open either of the local libraries or the one on the external drive and update the media content of my iPhone. The slight exception is Photos which normally connects to a specific folder on a specific machine, although that can easily be remapped to the current library if you create a "Photos" folder inside the iTunes Media folder so that syncing the iTunes folders keeps this up to date as well. I periodically sweep my library for new files & orphans with iTunes Folder Watch just in case I make changes at one location but then overwrite the library with a newer copy from the other. Again Mac users should be able to find similar tools.
    As long as your media is organised within an iTunes Music or Tunes Media folder, in turn held inside the main iTunes folder that has your library files (whether or not you let iTunes keep the media folder organised) each library can access items at the same relative path from the library folder so the library can be at different drives/paths on different machines. This solution ensures I always have adequate backups of my library and I can update my devices whenever I can connect to the same build of iTunes.
    When working with an iPhone earlier builds of iTunes would remove any file not physically present in the local library, even if there was an entry for it, making manual management practically redundant on the iPhone. This behaviour has been changed but it will still only permit manual management with a library that has the correct internal ID. If you don't want to sync your library between machines on a regular basis just copy the iTunes Library.itl file from the current "home" machine to any other you want to use, then clean out the library entries and import the local content you have on that box.

  • Can I load my Itune on more than one computer?

    Can I have ITunes installed on more than one computer, and sync with I-Phone and IPAD2?  How do I keep the files the same on both computers?

    you can authorize up to five computers you control for your iTunes store account.
    you can use home sharing to keep the libraries on them in sync.
    by design, iPhone and iPad can sync with only one library at a time.
    however, you could consider Managing content manually on iPhone, iPad, and iPod.
