Download for another computer

I have an iMac 27 running Lion that I would like to upgrade to Mavericks.
However it is mounted on the wall in my office.   We are rural and use cellular for internet.   I can't afford a 5+ gig download.
Is there any way I can take my MacBook Pro to the Library and download the image of Mavericks install and bring it home to do the install?
Thanks
Bob

Yes, as long as your MacBook Pro can access teh Mac App Store.
Go to the library, or wherever you are going to be getting the internet access.  Connect to the Mac App Store, and "purchase" Mavericks.  When the download completes, and the "Install OS X Mavericks" launches, quit the installer.  Take the MacBook Pro home and copy the Installer app from the /Applications folder on the MacBook Pro to the /Applications folder on the iMac and launch it.  When the installer runs, it will delete itself, so if you want to keep a copy around, put a copy on an external drive or USB stick that is not attached to the computer when you do the installation.

    I had iTunes on previous computer, can't find my libraries now I have re-downloaded for new computer, does this mean I have lost all my music content? My wedding music was on there, and i had paid loads to download stuff. I assumed it was all saved somewhere like hotmail messages. Any ideas, please? Jane

    Download Past Purchases
    Sign in with the Apple ID that you used for the original purchase. See which Apple ID you used to download an item.
    2) See if the content is available for redownload. Previously purchased items might not be available if they're no longer on the iTunes Store.

  • How to eliminate authorization from a PC that crash, hard drive?  I want to have available authorizaton for another computer.

    Hi,
    I had a PC that crash the hard drive.
    I want to eliminate the autorization so I can have an available authorization for another computer.
    Thanks for your help.
    Regards

    You don't need to. Wait until you reach maximum of 5 Authorized computers to deauthorize all then re-authorize new ones again. Refer to this article:

  • How do I know if the program has been downloaded to another computer or not?

    How do I know if the program has been downloaded to another computer or not? Also how do I know if it is the educational version or not?

    What exactly? Your questions don't make much sense since you failed to provide an explanation what problem you actually have, what program you actually mean and so on. That aside, edu versions are technically not different from the normal programs, just their licensing is different.

    Can I use my ideacentre B305 as an external monitor for another computer?

    Hi l_elephant,
    Unfortunately, no. The MacBook Pro must be on in order to display video and if it's on it'll either be in Target Disk Mode or booting to it's own OS (be it Windows, OS X, etc.) The new iMacs support this feature with a "Target Display Mode," but this feature is not available on the MacBook Pro. +(at this time)+

  • I re-installed Windows - Itunes says my iPod is for another computer

    So I re-installed Windows XP Pro on my computer and I just installed iTunes. I also updated my iPod. I have a 4GB Ipod Nano 2nd Gen. Itunes tells me that my iPod is for another computer, obviously since I re-intalled windows. How do I make it native to this copy of Windows vs my old one? Even tho they're the same copy..

    So you didn't back up your stuff before you formatted your HD?
    Bummer...
    There are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the files from your iPod, this is just a selection. Have a look at the web pages and documentation for these, they are generally quite straightforward.
    iPod Access Mac and Windows Versions
    YamiPod Mac and Windows Versions
    PodUtil Mac and Windows Versions
    iPodCopy Mac and Windows Versions
    PodPlayer Windows Only

    There is also a manual method of accessing the iPod's hard drive on Windows posted in this thread: MacMuse - iPod to iTunes

    and then back up your iTunes.

    You know, this is just a thought.  I'm not sure the differences between the iq526 and iq770, but as I was looking around I found this article.  I don't know if it'll help, but you might want to take a look.  Evidently someone figured out how to use the HP touchsmart as an external monitor for his Dell laptop.

  • I am unable to send photos from iphoto via email as an attachment to be downloaded onto another computer.  i thought e-mail would automatically pick up these photos if mailed out so they could be downloaded.

    At one time I was able to send photos from i photo library and I assumed the receiver could open these and download them into their apple computer (family).
    I have tried to send photos from library or folder as attachment but I am also unable to do this.  How do I send pictures as e-mail attachments which can be opened up and downloaded to another computer?

    I've managed to sort out my own problem!!  Shall write it down in case there are others out there who have a similar problem.   With iPhoto open, click on iPhoto on the top menu bar.  Click on preferences.  Then click on account.  This let me change the details such as the user name and password.  Luckily I played around with a couple of my usual passwords, and found one that worked.  Have now written it down!!!!

    I have 2 computers. Do I have to buy 2 separate downloads for each computer? Or can I save money and buy one download for both laptops.

    Also, downloads are for only one platform, so the answer is yes only if both computers are windows computers or both are macs. To do one each you need the boxed version.

  • I have downloaded some apps on this Imac.  When I open them, it says they were downloaded on another computer.  After I try to sign in it says my computer can't be verified.  Any ideas?

    Like I said, I downloaded some Apps onto this Imac.  When I try to use them it says that they were purchased on another computer.  That said, I don't have another computer.  It will then ask for my to sign in with my apple id and password.  When I put those in, it says that the computer can not be verified.  Contact apple support.  I don't have apple care and can't exactly afford to buy it at this time.  Anyone know how to resolve this issue??

    Ok, I had a glitch, forced to restart, and lost my train of thought.
    Reinstalling iTunes should fix the major issue that might have gone wrong, perhaps your explaination points will disappear and everything will be peachy again.
    But if they don't, you can open the XML file in iTunes Folder using a Text edit program to see what the common pathname is to the iTunes Music folder or where your content is located.
    If you moved the itunes folder, it needs to go back.
    I can't  download iTunes to my Vista virtual machine to test it out right now because iTunes is down, so I can't verify the pathname, perhaps your issue and the iTunes being down are related somehow?
    You don't want to import all your music again, but it's a option, but you lose all your playlists, that's what I'm trying to recover.
    If oyu don't have a whole lot of playlists, then simply select all the explaimation point music and delete, select File from the menu and import your itunes folder again.
