Do i have to buy lion again for other macs

do i have to buy lion again for my other macs?

Just sign on to the App Store using the same AppleID and look at the Purchased tab.  You can download and install from there on the other Macs. 
You can avoid multiple downloads by copying the Install OSx Lion app to an external drive.  This must be done before the install process completes because it's deleted from the apps directory as the last step.  You can then use that for your other Macs without another 4 Gig download.

  • I bought a new desktop, which is running Mountain Lion; do I have to buy it again for my laptop?

    I bought a new desktop, which is running Mountain Lion; do I have to buy it again for my laptop?

    If the new desktop came with Mountain Lion already installed, you will have to purchase it separately for your portable. If you purchased ML for the desktop, you do not need to pay for it again.

  • I purchased an imac in November, complete with Lion. now it says i have to buy Lion again.

    I purchased an imac in November, complete with Lion. now it says i have to buy Lion again. It was a refurbed mac, is OSX registered to someone else. Why has my apple i.d forgot ive purchased lion?

    Your post was pretty unclear, but if you are CERTAIN that you purchased Lion off the App Store, and cannot see the option to re-download it, see this article: Unhiding Purchases in Mac App Store
    If you purchased the iMac in November without buying Lion, and cannot seem to boot into the recovery partition (if Command-R doesnt work, try just "Option" as well), then go back to an Apple Store and ask them to reinstall Lion. They will be aware that your machine came with it if if you bought it in November.

  • Hi, i bought numbers for my mac air in august. do i have to buy it again for my iPhone 5?

    hi, i bought inumbers for my mac air in august. do i have to buy it again for my iPhone 5?

    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
    There are two differents Numbers versions: Numbers for OS X, and Numbers for iOS.
    For your Mac, you purchased Numbers for OS X, so now you can install Numbers on all your Macs as many times as you need for free. However, the iPhone 5 uses Numbers for iOS, so you have to purchase Numbers for iOS in order to get this app onto the phone

  • If I buy numbers for my macbook pro do I have to buy it again for my macbook air?

    I'm soon going to working on two apple laptops and I loveeee the concept that true Icloud my work automatically is accessible on all my devices in with the latest changes I made. However for me its a bit unclear if I have to buy keynote, numbers, pages, again for my coming new 2nd laptop. Can anyone tell me this??

    You only have to buy it once. According to the Terms of Use, you may install an app on as many Macs as you own or have in your control. Once you buy it an install it on one Mac, open the App Store app on the other Mac, go to the Purchases pane and download it again.

  • I have purchase some song on my macbook on my iphone and on my ipad but i cannot see them on all devices. Do i have to buy them again for each device?

    I have purchase some songs on my ipad but i cannot find them on my mac and on my iphone. Do i need to purchase them again for every device. I am using only one account on all devices.
    Thanks for helping me.

    Check the location of your iTunes library in the preferences, and navigate to that folder.  The contents will vary depending on how onld teh library is etc, but there should be a folder for applications.  If you do not see it, navigate to the App Store within iTunes and download a free app.   Then go look again.  Copy your old apps from the CD into this location.  You will need to ensure that whatever iTunes ID was used to purchase them originally is authorised in the new iTunes library.

  • TS3991 I downloaded keynote to my iPad. Do I have to buy it again for my phone?

    I downloaded Keynote to my iPad and I can't seem to get it on my I phone without buying it again! Is this the only option?

    Ok. On the iPad, go to the App Store then tap Purchased at the bottom and see if it shows Keynote there (it will say OPEN instead of a cloud symbol)
    If it does show, go to reportaproblem.apple.com and sign in with your Apple ID and Password and see if Keynote shows up there.
    If it does, go to your iPhone, go to Settings > iTunes & App Stores > Tap your Apple ID > Tap Sign Out.
    Restart your iPhone.
    Go back to Settings > iTunes & App Stores > Sign in with your Apple ID and Password.
    Check the App Store App > Updates > Purchased for Keynote.
    If it still doesn't show up there, contact the iTunes Store: http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/

  • If i download iphoto 11 to my mini, do i have to buy it again for my macbook and my ipad?

    If I download iPhoto to my Mini, do I also have to buy it for my MacBook?  I assume I would have to get a separate version for the iPad.  Or.... is there a way to have it on DVD to use on both computers?  Thanks.

    If you pruchase iPhoto for your Mac from the App Store you can use it on any Mac that you own
    iPhoto for the iPad is a completely different app and requires a different purchase.

  • If I have purchased OS X 10.7 for my Mac Mini, do I have to purchase it again for my Mac Book?

    I have a Mac Mini that I have purchased OS X Lion for and I have a Mac Book that I want to update to Mountain Lion, but it still has Leopard running on it so I have to get Lion before I can upgrade to Mountain Lion. The question is since I already bought Lion for my Mac Mini can I download it to my Mac Book without paying again.

    By opening the Mac App Store, logging in with an Apple ID used to purchase it, clicking on the Purchases tab, and downloading it from there.
