Do I have to pay to upgrade my Macbook to Lion After paying to Upgrade my Mac?

Do I have to pay to upgrade my Macbook to Lion After paying to Upgrade my Mac?  Or does Apple allow you to pay once to upgrade both?

No, you buy it once and you can install it on both your macs.  Just sign in the App store on the second Mac with the same AppleID and you go to the Purchased tab.  You can install it from there.
If you make a copy of the installer the first time you download it then you can use that without having to download 4Gigs again.  The last step of the install process deletes this download so copy before installing.

  • AI have an iPad and iPhone but am stuck with Tiger and Leopard. Will I stir be able to get my email on my PowerBook if I after I upgrade to iCloud?  I don't have the cash to upgrade the mac right now.

    I have an iPad and iPhone but am stuck with Tiger and Leopard on my old powerbook G4.  Will I still be able to get my email on my PowerBook after I upgrade to iCloud?  I don't have the cash to upgrade the mac right now.  Just wondering what my email options are.  Thank You.

    You will be able to get your mail on the PowerBook. The calendars (iCal) will not sync; any events added to iPad and/or iPhone will not sync with the Mac but will sync with each other (that is: the mobile devices which are on iCloud). My  MacBook Pro (Lion) and iPad2 (iOS5) sync fine; I still get my Mail on iBook G4, MacBook Pro (Snow Leopard) and iMac (Snow Leopard).

  • I have just opened my brand new Macbook Pro and I'm a first time mac user. I have tried to download flash to enable me to watch you tube clips, but on trying to download it, it says I need to close Safari but after doing so, it still won't respond.

    Actually you need to quit Safari which is different from closing.  With Safari open go the menu bar for Safari/Quit Safari.

  • Do I have to activate AHCI mode on a Mountain Lion after a new SSD drive installation?

    Hello All,
    Do I have to activate AHCI mode on a Mountain Lion after a new SSD drive installation?
    I have a new Corsair GT SSD sata 3 drive on my mack book, I have read on corsair web page that is good tho activate the AHCI and TRIM but I cant find information about how to do this on OS X.
    Thank you all

    That's information for non-Apple hardware. You can activate TRIM using third-party software: TRIM Enabler 2.2. However, most new SSDs should not need TRIM activated on the Mac.

  • If Firefox 3.6 will no longer be supported, will I be able to continue using it since I have no intention of upgrading my Mac OS 10.4.11 anytime soon?

    That's it.

    First off, all upgrades can potentially break a system.  First and foremost, backup your data before installing anything.  Next read this tip as 10.5 loses Classic compatibility, and has these other issues outlined on the tip: https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-2275

  • I have my hdmi cord from my macbook pro to my hdtv but only the mac background will project?

    I dont see arrangements when I click on displays. I see displays in the hardware section but all it asks for resolutions. is that mean on my computer or on my TV?

  • HT201250 will i lose everything when I upgrade my mac

    Hi - I have the disc to upgrade my mac to Snow Leopard. I don't have an external hard drive to back up. If I install the disc will I lose all my documents/photos/music etc?

    If everything works perfectly, you should not lose your data.
    I don't know about you but I never trust my data "to everything running perfectly". So I in fact back it up twice just to be sure.
    IMHO I would hold off the upgrade until you have a disk for backup.
    The questions is never will I lose data because that is a certainly. The question is when will it happen. Hence the reason to backup.

  • Will there be a noticeable improvement if I upgrade my mac memory?

    Hi
    I am using a MacBook Pro 13" early 2011 and running Yosemite. 4Gb
    I have been meaning to upgrade my mac memory for a while now because performance issues are really becoming a problem.
    Sometimes even the simplest of tasks is like running through treacle. This could be opening an app like Chrome or Mail or simply clicking system preferences. The wait time before these opening isn't massive but if it takes around a minute or two, to open them than in my view that is incredibly slow.
    As the OS systems updates have gotten better, more frequent and contain more features, I have noticed that the performance has really suffered.
    I dread to think how the machine would perform if I did anything that remotely put it through its paces by running a game or even something like iMovie.
    You want to have your computer to be able to run multiple apps at the same time or in the background and these are just basic utility apps like a web browser, mail and stickies.
    I currently use Onyx and the Memory Clean app. I personally find at the moment that the memory clean app pointless. The majority of the time it indicates that there is between 0% - 3% free memory available. I then click clean memory, sometimes several times in a row and it usually frees up around 30% then after around 5 minutes it is back down to that 0%-3% mark again.
    I rarely use any memory chugging apps. Say for example as I write this post the memory clean app indicates there is 1% free memory yet all that is running is Mail App, Chrome and Google Drive (Don't get hung up on these apps, it happens regardless of the app). I find myself constantly having to go around after myself closing every app after I have used it and this even happens with no apps running at all.
    So my real question is. If I upgrade my memory using crucial to the 8GB memory. Will I notice any tangible difference or will that amount still be inadequate?
    I know there is a 16GB option but it is fairly expensive and I hear of potential issues with overheating.
    Thanks for your help

    I have taken a few screenshots. Do these help?

  • Upgraded to 8.0.2 on 5. Lost all photos in camera roll and photo stream.  I used a recovery tool that shows the photos are still in there 'somewhere' but they want $70 to recover them.  Any free methods? I shouldn't have to pay for Apple's screw up!

    Also, I did a backup on iTunes before the upgrade but after the upgrade completed, it performed a backup that overwrote the last one I did.  At least I think it did, there is only one backup showing up in the MobileSync-Backup folder on my computer.  Also, in iTunes on the bottom of the screen, the bar that shows how much storage space is being used by what, its number of pics is several hundred more than the number of pics on my phone.  The ones it didn't erase were in a different album that I had uploaded from my computer (ironic that the pics that I didn't lose in the upgrade, I already have copies of on my computer). Anyhow, I used a trial version of recovery program called Wondershare Dr.Fone for ios, and while I'm definately not here to promote them, after it did the scan on my iphone, it showed thumbnails of all the missing photos, along with everything else I'd ever done on my phone lol. So I do know they are in there, I just can't afford to pay $70 to retrieve them, nor do I think I should have to as the upgrade caused them to be missing!  Does anyone know of a free recovery tool? I never used iCloud, so that is not an option either.

  • I can not upgrade from version 9.1.5 to 9.2.3 on my IMAC free?? I have to pay for this upgrade?

    I can not upgrade from version 9.1.5 to 9.2.3 on my IMAC free?? I have to pay for this upgrade?

    That is a free update (not an upgrade) what happens when you try? How are you trying to update? did your Mac come with restore disks or did you download software form teh App Store? Have you logged onto the App store and checked purchased software for updates?

  • I upgraded to Lion on my Mac Mini and I'm wondering if I have to pay 29.99 again to upgrade to Lion on my Mac book pro?

    I upgraded to Lion on my Mac mini and I'm wondering if I have to pay 29.99 to upgrade it on my Macbook pro also. Or since both computers are registered under the same account, is there a way to share the program?

    You can download it from the mac app store again on the other computer free of charge. Just go to purchases in the mac app store on the other computer and log in with the same account you used to purchase lion. Then you should see lion listed as a purchase along with a gray box that says INSTALL.

    how much do i have to pay for exchange a broken iphone 5s for a new one?

    some retailers buy your phone and help u to put credit towards new iphone. if your iphone has accidental damage it will cost you 299 CAD dollars, if the only screen is broken it will cost 119 dollars. if the iphone is under warranty. i suggest you to replace the display first then. wait for the iphone to give you issues so that geniuses replace the iphonr for free
