Can you download Lion and place on two devices?

I have an Imac and macbook - can you downloas Lion and transfer / copy to both machines?
Many thanks, G

Yes. You must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 installed on each so you can purchase and download it. You can then re-download on the other computer without having to pay for it a second time. Or you can do 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.

You can install a purchased copy of Lion on "all the computers you own" so yes.

Where can you download Lion?

I'm running a MacBook 4,1 on Snow Leopard. If I want to download Lion where do I get the software?

Call Apple, 1-800-My-Apple, and you can order it over the phone then download it from the Mac App Store with a code they send you in an email..

Can you download songs from itunes on multiple devices?

I used itunes for some time but stopped several years ago. I never really had a lot of music, so when my HDD crashed about a year ago I didn't worry about it and thought everything was lost forever.
I recently purchased an iPad and iPhone and when I logged in lo and behold everything was there waiting to be downloaded - this is a far cry from what I remember, when if you lost something that was it, no second chances to download. I distinctly remember a headache due to a glitch where songs would show as purchased but failed to download, and I couldn't download them without paying again.
I guess something changed, correct? Or if I download everything to my devices will I get hit with charges for everything once again?

Redownloading is a new capability of iTunes that was introduced when iCloud came around. Nice, huh? For more details see:

Did you check the home page setting?

If you do not keep changes after a restart then see:

You can also check for problems with the sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak files in the Firefox Profile Folder that store session data.
Delete the sessionstore.js file and possible sessionstore-##.js files with a number and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox Profile Folder.

Deleting sessionstore.js will cause App Tabs and Tab Groups and open and closed (undo) tabs to get lost, so you will have to create them again (make a note or bookmark them).

Do you have to download Lion and also lion server , or just lion server ?

Do you have to download Lion and also lion server , or just lion server ?
And also will you have all the features of snow leopard server ?

Yeah it is a bunch of apps that you will download from the App store WWDC Keynote by Phil Schiller. "Server isn’t another operating system. It’s just a bunch of applications you can purchase to run on top of Lion. " And in terms of upgrading to Lion server, i read an article that explains the process as this:
"Snow Leopard Server - You can not upgrade to Lion directly. If you try to run the Lion installer on Snow Leopard Server, it will first look for the Server.app in the “Application” folder of the Mac. When you have that in place, the installer will first install Lion. Then, when it restarts, it will walk you thru some very minimal steps for the Server.app (hostname confirmation, admin email, etc). At that point, the Server.app will take your Snow Leopard Server settings and upgrade them. This will include migrating OD to 10.7, updating LDAP, importing data, etc. This can take some time. "
That is for snow leapard server specifically. If you come from a basic snow leapard installation, that is when you updrage to Lion and then download and install the server apps.

Once you purchase the sortware, can you download it on two computers?

Once you purchase the sortware, can you download and use it on two computers?

You can have it "Active"/usuable on 2 computers at a time, but can download to multiple computers.
Example Scenario in my actual life, you have a Windows Laptop and an iMac that you have Photoshop CC on (which was more difficult prior to Creative Cloud by the way), but you know you are going to visit your girlfriend out of state for a week.
You can deactivate Photoshop on your iMac while you're away without out uninstalling it.
Once you'e at her place you can download and activate Photoshop CC and you can even import you custom settings, Work Area and shortcuts all from the cloud. Now you can work seemlessly
Another example, you're office won't pop for the latest version of Photoshop and still has you running CS5.5
You have your own copy of Photoshop CC but don't want to just "give" them your license or key since their too cheap to get one for you for your work, but you still need those features to be at your best.
You can deactivate your license on your desktop or laptop in the morning when you are heading to the office, activate on your work computer, and deactivate before you clock out and go home.
As J pointed out, you can have it active on 2 machines at once, but installed on any machine you plan to work on at some point. Take advantage of it!

How many computers can you install Lion after purchasing from App store. My wife and I have our own Apple ID will it accept 2 different ID

I have a MacBook Pro and an iMac . My wife has a MacBook and an iMac. How many computers are you allowed to install from one download. We both use Apple products and have our own Apple ID. Can I download Lion on her computers after I have both of mine installed? Or does she have to buy LION again using her Apple ID# ?

A single purchase of Lion will allow you to download it multiple times as long as you use your Apple ID.
If your wife wishes to install Lion, she must sign into the App Store with your Apple ID.

I have had nothing but problems after downloading Lion and turning on ICloud. Can anyone tell if I can delete photos from Photostream and if not why not! it is infuriating

I have had nothing but problems after downloading Lion and turning on ICloud. Can anyone tell if I can delete photos from Photostream and if not why not! it is infuriating

PhotoStream is purely a conduit for transferring pictures added to or taken on one device onto all the others seamlessly. Photos are held there only for 30 days. There is no way of accessing, viewing or deleting individual photos; you can reset the entire Photostream, erasing everything.
