Do I need to purchase OS X Lion twice for my Macbook and PC? Why?

I have purchased OS X Lion for my Macbook and downloaded it successfully - do i have to buy it again for my MAC PC? Or can i share it across?

You do not have to purchase it twice; log in to your Apple ID from your desktop and within the Mac App Store, you can download your already purchased.

Do I need to purchase a converter when I use my MBP and Mac mini in AUS?

Hi all,
I have no idea if I need to purchase a separate voltage converter for the MBP and the newly purchased Mac mini. The geniuses from Apple store claims that it is built-in, so all I have to do is do get an adapter kit to swap with the removable North American plug that I have. My MBP was purchased just a month ago, but it is the first Penryn. Specs are as followed: 2.53GHz C2D, 250HD, nVidia 8600 GT 512MB with the LED screen. Any hints would be appreciated.
Thank you.

Hi thanks a lot for your quick response. Yeah I did some more digging just now and found the same answers online. But how about the Mac mini? I actually looked at the power brick and it indicated: AC Input: 100V - 240V 50-60Hz. So that mean I need only an adapter to get that working in AUS? Thank you very much for your help once again.

You need to be using Snow Leopard or Lion to run the current version of iPhoto.

Do I need to purchase Office 365 A3 plan for faculty to get free Office 365 ProPlus for students in Office 365?

Hi there
Our school has A2 plan for both students and faculty. We recently contacted our reseller and placed an order for free Office 365 ProPlus A for our students. We received an acknowledgement from Microsoft regarding this order saying that it was successfull
and I can see the license added when I log into the VLSC website. Problem is, I can't see this licence listed when I log into Office 365 admin. It is not listed under subscriptions or licenses. Apologize for my ignorance, but I don't know how can I get this
license added in Office 365 so that our students can start using editable versions of office apps on their IPADs. Do we need to purchase Office 365 A3 plan for our staff to get this student's license enabled in Office 365? Can somebody please help?

I have similar questions concerning getting started with the Student Advantage program offering.
I've read the blog posts and made as many as 5 calls to Office 365 and still do not understand how to get this going.
We have a subscription to Education A2 for both faculty and students that we started in January 2014. We receive this at no charge. So I'm starting with a subscription at no cost. I do not have an Education Reseller because we started our
subscription through the website with a trial and had that converted to the no cost A2 plan.
When I am in the portal and look under 'Purchase Services' I can see the option to add Office ProPlus for Faculty at $2.00/user/month and for Office ProPlus for Students at $1.50/user/month. My understanding of Student Advantage is that if I license
all my faculty/staff accounts for Office ProPlus I would then get the Student access at no charge. So I've licensed the Office ProPlus for Faculty for all of our faculty accounts yet I cannot get a clear answer about how to get the Student accounts added
at no cost.
I most recently was told by Office 365 support that I needed to speak to a reseller, which I did today. He told me that I would need to do one of two things.
1. Upgrade my no cost A2 faculty accounts to A3. Which for me and what I see in the portal would take them from $0 to $4.50/user/month. With that A3 for faculty I would get the Office ProPlus for the Students accounts on A2 at no charge.
2. I would need an Open Value license covering all school FTEs for Office at a cost of about $29/user/year.
Both of these options are higher than licensing all Faculty accounts for Office ProPlus via the portal at $2/user/month which I have already done.
So I don't understand why that doesn't qualify us for Student Advantage and now have to license all FTE, most of whom don't even touch a computer, for Office.

When offering advice in the ASC, my comments are not meant to be anything more than helpful and certainly not to be taken as insults.
You are confusing two different versions of the iMovie app. You have downloaded an update to the boxed version that Apple sold in the past. Yoi cannot update the version that Apple now sells in the Mac App Store with that update.

I have both a macbook and iMac. Will Ineed to purchase Lion twice for these computers?

I actually just found out another kewel thing. If you bought a mac and get the free upgrade, it lets you install it on all your macs!!!!!
Come to think of it, if FORCES you to install it on all your macs! You can't buy it again on the App Store.

My friend bought the Lion upgrade for her MacBook. She would also like to upgrade her desktop Mac which is current running Leopard. Does she have to buy SnowLeopard for her Mac first? Both computers use the same apple ID and password.

My friend bought the Lion upgrade for her MacBook. She would also like to upgrade her desktop Mac to Lion which is currently running Leopard. Does she have to first buy a SnowLeopard upgrade for her desktop? And will the upgrade from SnowLeopard to Lion then be free? Both computers use the same apple ID.

She would also like to upgrade her desktop Mac to Lion which is currently running Leopard.
She needs to purchase Snow Leopard but she can re download Lion on the desktop for free after Snow Leopard is installed.
And definitely use the same Apple ID to download Lion on the desktop.

DoI need anti virus or adware/spyware remover for a MacBook Pro

Do I need anti virus or adware/spyware remover, for a MacBook Pro

You don't need jack diddly squat.
But if you have PC brethren and don't want to be a typhoid mary, then download the free ClamXav and scan with that.
First account on a Mac is a admin, it's best to run as a Standard user by creating another admin user, loggin into it and turning your first user to a Standard user. Everything works just the same, it's more secure than normal though as Mac's are being attacked, not as much as PC's.
Just a bit more protection, check your Software Updates once in awhile and you should be fine, except for Lion issues and we cant' help those as it's a new OS.
If your on Snow Leopard then stay there for another 6 months at least until the complaints go away here about Lion.

I purchased a Seagate 3T HD for my MacBook Pro but only Windows are listed n the bix (the Seagate site listed Mac) will it work???

Most external drives are formatted for Windows; you should be able to format it for Mac. Plug it in, open Disk utility, highlight the drive and choose the Partition tab. Do not worry about any software on the drive - you don't need it and it will be erased. In the partition tab, choose how many you want, name them, choose Mac OS Extended (Journaled) and, under the Options button, choose GUID partition scheme. Hit Apply. The drive will be erased and formatted. If that process does not work, contact Seagate and inquire about the Mac compatibility.

Why am i being charged twice for 11.04 and 11.46 when I did not purchase those songs, I used an itunes card 25$ and I still have 0.04 cents left?

Why am i being charged twice for 11.04 and 11.46 when I did not purchase those songs, I used an itunes card 25$ and I still have 0.04 cents left?
I couldnt redeem w/o an apple ID so when i did it asked for a credit card. And I want to discontinue and remove my account from itunes but it wont let me, there is no account discontinue or removal of account

Because too much time has passed I can't edit this into the prior comment, but here is the info regarding reverting to iTunes 11.0.2 (assuming you do have a time machine backup) from https://discussions.apple.com/message/22057703#22057703

I reverted to the previous version, 11.0.2.
1. Quit the new crash-prone iTunes.
2. Delete the app.
3. Restore v. 11.0.2 with Time Machine.
4. In your iTunes folder look for a folder called "Previous iTunes Libraries", find the latest one.
5. In the iTunes folder itself you'll see "iTunes Library.itl", delete it (or compress it and save a copy for later just in case.
6. Copy the newest .itl file in Previous iTunes Libraries to the iTunes folder and rename it "iTunes Library.itl".
7. Launch the older version of iTunes.
My crashing has seemed to have ceased with a revert to an older version. I noticed today that the newer crashing iTunes had been launched for hours but not playing anything, when I played internet radio it crashed within 5mins, fed up I reverted to an older version.
Btw, a simpler way to do this is to revert to older iTunes app, then hold Option when it launches and choose an older library.

I'm a little confused as to how Apple ID works. Do I need separate Apple IDs or email addresses for iMessage, iCloud, and Facetime?

Do I need separate Apple IDs or email addresses for iMessage, iCloud, and Facetime?
Everytime I attempt to use my Apple ID associated with iTunes with iMessage, iCloud, or Facetime, it tells me: 'Unable to verify email because it is already in use'. I've been playing around with it and find when I enter another email address other then the one associated with my iTunes account, it'll work. So it seems that my Apple ID will log me into the cloud (or whatever it may be), but I need another email address for the messages to be sent to? Perhaps somebody can clarify for me. Thanks in advance!

activation of imessage requires the ability to send an SMS message to a number commencing with +44. Do you have the ability to send international text messageswhile in Japan?

I just purchased Adobe Photoshop Elements 13 for a Mac and trying to install. I am at the point to enter the serial number but it won't take letters. What do I do and where do I go for help?

If the code you are trying to enter has letters then you are not looking at a serial number. A serial number only contains numbers - 6 sets of 4 numbers.
Find your serial number quickly
You might be dealing with a redemption code. This is especially so if you purchased it from a store or the like.
