Can Lion be downloaded for multiple computers (my laptop & desktop)

I need to Download Lion so I can switch my mobile me to iCloud, but I want to know if I can download it once and transfer it to all computers or do I have to pay the $29.99 for each computer.

If you purchase and download Lion from the App Store you can install it on all the computers that you own. You should read the following:
Make Your Own Lion Installer
1. After downloading Lion you must first save the Install Mac OS X Lion application. After Lion downloads DO NOT click on the Install button. Go to your Applications folder and make a copy of the 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 Lion.
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 hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the drive in DU's status area. If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing. SMART info will not be reported on external drives. Otherwise, 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 several hours depending upon the drive size.
3. Locate the saved 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 InstallESD.dmg disc image to the flash drive as follows:
Open Disk Utility.
Select the USB flash drive from the left side list.
Click on the Restore tab in the DU main window.
Check the box labeled Erase destination.
Select the USB flash drive volume from the left side list and drag it to the Destination entry field.
Drag the InstallESD.dmg disc image file 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 Lion installer that you can use without having to re-download Lion.

Can I use multiple computers eg. my desktop, laptop and iPad on an individual subscription?

If I buy a individual subscription can I use photoshop on multiple computers eg. my desktop, laptop and iPad?
If so, what is required on each device? If I am on my laptop away form home can I log onto photoshop and still access documents Ive been working on?
Sorry for the stupid questions, I do not fully understand how the 'Cloud' works and what it offers me if I need to use photoshop on several devices.
Any assistance would be appreciated.
Thank you

You have 2 activations, meaning you can use it on 2 computers. Mobile devices are treated separately and are not tied to the activation limit. Whether or not you will be able to work on your documents across will depend on syncing them or making them otherwise available through some shared (web) storage.

If you are going to sell a system that did not come with Lion installed you use the media that came with it to revert it to as it was when new, (after overwriting the entire drive).
If you have a new system that came with Lion and you do the same as above, using the rescue partion. That partition is not tied to any user out of the box. That is unless the software asks you to sign in with an Apple ID before running Restore. In which case I would simply just overwrite your main partition and allow the next user to run the Restore from the Recovery Partition.

MBAs do not have user replaceable batteries. I'm not sure you could even buy third-party replacement batteries. You may be able to purchase an Apple part through places like ifixit.com.

For multiple computers (3) three, do we need to pay $29. for each machine?

For multiple computers, 3 (Three) to be precise, do we need to pay $29.00 for each computer you want to upgrade to the new operating system X-LION?

As Linc points out you do not need to purchase a separate copy for each computer.
In order to update all three follow these steps:
All of your computers must be running OS X 10.6.7 (better is 10.6.8)
Pay for the update and download it and install it on one computer.
On each of the other computers, go to the Mac App store and sign in to it using the same account that you used to purchase the upgrade to the first computer.
In the App store, at the top of the page look for the Purchased icon and click it.
You will see a list of apps you have purchased including Lion. Select Lion and look for the INSTALL button to the right of it. Click that button.
Let it install Lion on the other computers.
Enjoy.
Hope this gets you where you need to go.

Having one iTunes music library for multiple computers via TimeCapsule

Hi there,
I'm just wondering how to best set-up my iTunes library. I want the library on my TimeCapsule wireless hard drive, and to be able to set this as the library for multiple computers at home. It's a waste of space to have duplicate libraries on both computers.I had this working with an earlier version of iTunes, but its not working now.
I also want to know how I can get the wireless device to fire up simply by pressing the iTunes icon. If I do this without, iTunes says it can't find the library.
Thanks.

Frank, yes. Only one library of the songs and content if it's stuff from the Music Store.
If the music is your own CD rips, then you can put all the music on a central server and have all the computers connect in on your home network.
You do NOT set your iTunes to share their libraries, or look for shared libraries, you manually do the drag-and-drop with your networked music folder into the iTunes library window and each copy of iTunes behaves as if the network volume is it's own.
The only shortcoming to this is if you add music with one machine, the others will NOT have the new songs added to their own library lists unless you drag and drop the songs into the iTunes library manually for each computer.
I have enough music that I have broken down the library list into five folders, A-E, F-J, K-O, P-T, and U-Z. When I add new songs, the folders they're in will be added at the root Music Library folder level, so I can refresh the libraries with the new music THEN manually file it into one of those five correct folders.
This is what my network library looks like:
http://home.comcast.net/~foodandart/Network%20Library.jpg - you can see that I haven't added the Clapton, BBC, Roxy Music, etc, to the library lists for the entire house.
The G4 frankenbeast computer in our living room, is the media server for the house and has the stereo system rigged through it and is used to rip vinyl and watch the video. I still have to refresh the libraries in my husband's laptop, and on my main internet computer, so those albums haven't been filed yet.
Of course the caveat here is that I haven't a single item that's purchased through the Music Store and thusly locked down, since I rip my own LP's and CD's, so everything is much more flexible in how I can handle it.
Deb.

Using one library for multiple computers and accounts (not store accounts)

Okay, we currently have four macs in the house. One was recently bought: i7 iMac (late 2009), another is dying: (mid 2005 iMac), another is going somewhere else: (late 2006 iMac) and another is a laptop: C2D MBP (late 2008). We might add another computer into the mix some time later.
Anyway, what I want to do is have one iTunes library which all of the computers can access (even guest's/friend's computers). We have a Time Capsule, and as I have heard one can make the TC the HDD for the iTunes library, I thought it best for it to be there.
The only thing is, how can each computer (and the possible multiple accounts) each access the same library, without duplicating and messing anything up? Is that possible? If it is too hard for multiple computers to do this, I would still want the (late 2009) iMac to be able to use the same library for the two accounts on it.
Thanks.

Make sure everything you want to share is on the centralized drive (music, video, and books, but if any of you have mobile devices, keep the apps on your local drive). Mount the drive on your computer. (Remember, from now on you must do this before starting iTunes.) If iTunes isn't running, start it now.
At the moment iTunes thinks the library is on the local computer and has all the music on it so that has to be changed. Click on Music in the left window pane, select all, and delete. This deletes all the music from the library and, if you choose, from the computer too. (Until you are sure this set-up is to your liking, don't delete the music from the drive.) Now go to Preferences and select the Advanced tab. Set iTunes to look at the music folder on your shared drive. And finally, select File>Add to Library to repopulate your iTunes library. This could take a while if you have a large music collection.
Since you changed the music location, anything that is added to one person's library will be saved onto the shared drive so it isn't too much of a hassle to manually add music. You'll have to rebuild playlists which is a minor hassle but it’s a one time deal.

Can my cc be on multiple computers?

can my cc be on multiple computers?

Up to 2 as long as you’re the only one using it. Basically you can login to CC using your AdobeID and install the software on up to two computers. If you try to do it on a third, it'll ask you to deactivate it on the other two, which is fine, but then you can only reactivate it on one of the two old ones. This is for when a computer is retired or the hard-drive goes bad and you need a new computer or have to reformat your hard-drive.

Hi, I activated my CS6 in 2012 under my student licence and still using it. I've heard that you can't run CS6 on multiple computers. How do I transfer it from one computer to another as I am switching computers?

Hi,
first, I'm not Adobe's "slave" as you might to accuse me. Most of the posters here are users like me.
I only can repeat that what I found in Adobe's help sites, as I wrote above. You are free to figure out the "real" truth and - the best would be - you may contact Adobe directly, here are - I'm sure you know them - the links I would use: http://helpx.adobe.com/support.html and http://helpx.adobe.com/contact.html.

Have a serial number for Acrobat 9 Standard but need a download and can only find download for Pro version.

I did a factory reset on my old laptop and lost my Adobe Acrobat 9 Standard. I have the serial number but need a download and can only find download for Pro version. When I enter my serial number (standard) into the Pro Installation it says the number is invalid. Any idea where I can download Standard version of 9? Thanks.

Kimg68365882 did you purchase Acrobat 9 Standard from Adobe directly? If so and you choose to download the software instead of receive a CD then please see Find a download link on Adobe.com.
If you originally received the software on CD then please use a computer with an optical drive to copy the contents of the CD to a USB drive.

I was astounded, to say the least, that something as basic as playing a Utube video doesn't work on the iPad out of the box. I tried it on my iPad3 and it didn't even give me an error message. The iPad just didn't do anything.
Sure it does with a YouTube app included.
MS is coming out with what I'm hearing is a real winner in the Fall. I'll wait and see.

What you can do is move them into a sub folder where they are all grouped into one icon. Gets them off your screen, sort of.

How can I download 1 installer for multiple computers (creative cloud)

Hello,
we are an educational institution. We have in total 20 computers in our classrooms. I can't download the creative cloud for every computer seperately because we only have a 2 Mbit connection. So how can I download one installer which I can use for all computers.
