The only licenses you can install on multiple computers are retail purchases, and not OEM licenses. That means those from the App Store can be installed on other systems, but not the ones that came with your computer.

  • HT201364 I am unable to download a purchased copy of lion or moutain lion

    I am unable to download my copy of lion or moutain lion in order to upgrade my 2006 macbook!

    What is exactly is the problem?
    If you are signed into the Mac App Store with the same Apple ID that purchased them then they should be listed under the Purchases tab and be available for download unless they are already on the computer then it will say "Downloaded". In that case they will most likely be in your Applications folder. If not use Spotlight to find them.

  • Imac came with moutain lion can i transfer this onto my macbook

    hi

    cheers

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    The copy that came with your iMac can only be used in this Mac, so you have to purchase Mountain Lion for the MacBook Pro.
    First, check that your MacBook Pro is supported > http://www.apple.com/osx/specs Then, open the App Store and purchase OS X Mountain Lion. Make a backup of your data and check that your applications are compatible > http://www.roaringapps.com

  • Since I upgraded to Moutain Lion I'm dealing with wifi problems : no connection or random connection

    Since I upgraded to Moutain Lion I'm dealing with wifi problems : no connection or random connection. With  OS X Lion wifi was OK.

    So, Darrall, it seems to be fixed.  Mind you, this has happened through a seemingly unrelated, but hopefully replicable sequence of events.  You be the judge.
    I went to my other login account, which as it happens is also an admin account.  Voila, the secondary click worked fine.  So I returned to my primary account, where I did the following:
    First, I unpaired the trackpad.  then I remembered I needed something to move the mouse with, so I re-paired the magic mouse I'd had before.  I thought I'd turned off the trackpad, but apparently not, so the computer re-paired it automatically. None of this had any immediate effect, as you'd imagine.
    Then I went to Mission Control in Preferences. There, I deselected "Show dashboard as a space", and in the hotcorners, I deselected Mission Control from the bottom left, where it had been. I didn't replace it.
    Now, my secondary click works. Uh huh. I was suspicious that it might have more to do with Mission Control and/or Dashboard than the trackpad, only because I'd beaten that horse till my arm hurt and this was all I could think of. 
    Never did I imagine this would get fixed short of creating a new login account and somehow copying everything - since I didn't know what was wrong, I could easily have copied the error too - so I'm very pleased and relieved.  If you haven't fixed yours yet, try this.  Let me know what happens!

  • 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.

  • HT201250 My time machine is not backing up automatically to my time capsule since my upgrade to Moutain Lion.

    Since  I upgraded my iMac,my time machine is not backing up automatically to my time capsule since my upgrade to Moutain Lion.

    I have a similar problem.  On my iMac, I swapped out (at Genius Bar) my HD via Seagate replacement program.  Ever since my time machine won't backup.  I get a error msg that says:
    Time Machine couldn't complete the backup to "[my time machine name]"
    The backup disk is not available.
    Any suggestions.
    Thanks

  • How do i make abackup copy of Lion with a UBS2?

    I am thinking about downloading Lion, i do not have a external harddrive. So i need to make a backup copy. I have a brand new unused Kingston USB. Once i have copied the software to the USB, where do I install it from? The copy on my USB? Or the original on my desktop? If you can offer any advice on this procedure, I would be grateful because i hardly ever download, and i've never copied anything of this importance before.

    When you download Lion it will put the installer in your Applications folder and present you with an 'install Lion window'. Before clicking on the install screen copy the Lion installer to the USB drive (USB drive needs to have at least 4gb of available space). Eject the USB stick and continue with the installation. Once the Lion install is finished the installer in the applications folder will disappear so you are wise to copy it first.
    Edit: As a side note, from your description it sounds as though you don't have an external back-up of all the important data on your Mac. I'd really recommend getting an external and at least keep a Time Machine backup.
    Legend has it that there are two types of disk drive - one that has failed and one that hasn't failed yet. Having a backup in place will save you a world of pain. I know this for a fact .

  • I installed lion from the internet, i wanted all the stuff on it erased but it didnt do it, how do i get my computer to factory settings so it is like it was new just with a fresh copy of lion on it

    Music is not included in the backup (and nor are films or tv shows), only the contents of third-party apps are included. Did you not do File > Transfer Purchases when connected to your computer's iTunes to copy your iTunes purchases over, and/or have you not got a backup copy of your music somewhere e.g. on an external drive ?

  • I lost my Hard disk and had to replace it, how can I get another copy of lion OS, P.S. I bought my macbook pro with preinstalled Lion OS

    I lost my Hard disk and had to replace it with a new one, how can I get another copy of lion OS, as the guy at the serive center installed 10.6 for me.
    P.S. I bought my macbook pro with preinstalled Lion OS

    If you have a way to wipe 10.6.8 off, you can then reboot your machine (with no OS) and since your system came preinstalled with Lion, Internet Recovery should occur which will boot to Apple's servers into a Recovery HD for you to redownload and install Lion.
    To be safe I would first make a clone of the current installation using Carbon Copy Cloner or SuperDuper!. This way you have a way to recover.

  • How to install a clean copy of Lion on my mac book pro

  • How to make a copy of lion on disc

    bought a new mac pro with lion installed and i want to make a copy of lion so when my hard drive goes bad i can install it whith a disc.

    Here you go:
    OS X: About Recovery Disk Assistant
    The procedure describes how to create a bootable USB flash drive, but the procedure to create a bootable DVD is similar. A DVD will take much, much longer to boot, so the USB flash drive method is preferred.
    By the way, realize that you do not need to do this if your HD needs to be replaced. As long as you have a fairly fast wireless connection you need nothing else. The download itself might take one or two hours on a ± 10 Mbps connection.

  • I downloaded Mac OS X Lion and when I go to install, it says file cannot be verified, may have been corrupted during download.  How do I determine if it is corrupt and how do I get a clean copy of Lion, since I have already paid for it?

    Download again, move the existing file out of the applications folder first.
