Downloaded mavericks for one mac can i use the same download to install on another mac

I have downloaded for 12 hours initial installation on one mac for mavericks, and all installed successfully. Rather than download again for another mac, can I use the same download and copy on to the other mac..and if yes, where will I find it?

All you need to do is go to System Preferences > App Store and uncheck the automatic install of updates box, then download the Mavericks installer, and copy to a flash drive.  You will need a flash drive of 8 G B or more since the installer is around 5.3 GB.  The installer will be in Finder > Applications.  You can then copy that flash drive installer to the Applications folders in all the Macs you have that are capable of running Mavericks, http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5842.
When the installer runs, the last step in the installtion is for the installer to erase itself.  So makng a copy before the installer runs is essential if you want to avoid redownloading.
Installing from the same installer does not cause problems for Macs on the same network.

  • I have an iPhone 5 from India. I am going to USA for studying. Can I use the same iPhone over there or I will have to buy a new one?

    I have an iPhone 5 from India. I am going to USA for studying. Can I use the same iPhone over there or I will have to buy a new one?

    If officially unlocked, you can purchase a sim from one of the two nationwide GSM carriers, AT&T or T-Mobile. However, AFAIK, none of the carriers in India offer unlocking for the iPhone. Thus, if your phone is carrier locked, the only way it will work in the US is roaming...that would cost a fortune.
    So, if you have a carrier locked iPhone, leave it home or sell it before you come to the US, then purchase an officially unlocked iPhone, from Apple, when you get to the US. You'll be able to use that phone in India when you go back.

  • My phone number appears on my daughters iTouch and she can receive my text messages.  If I need to creaye a new user account for her itouch, can i use the same iTunes account or do i need to create a new iTunes account?

    My phone number appears in my daughters list of acceptable numbers to receive texts or messages on her iTouch.
    I sync her iTouch on my iTunes account.
    Do I need to create a separate iTunes account for her to prevent this from happening?  or can i use the same itunes account and just create a separate a differne user name for the same itunes account?
    If i need to create a separate iTunes account, how can i save her data and game levels?

    I recommend that you
    Create a NEW account/ID for her using these instructions. Make sure you follow the instructions. Many do not and if you do not you will not get the None option. You must use an email address that you have not used with Apple before.
      Creating an iTunes Store, App Store, iBookstore, and Mac App Store account without a credit card
    Use the new ID on her iPod but only for:
    Settings>Messages>Send and Receive
    Settings>FaceTime
    and Settings>iCloud if you want her to have separate Contacts Calendar and some other things.
    Continue to use the same/common Apple ID for Settings>iTunes and App stores so you can share purchases.

  • I have an iphone for the US and one for Europe. Can I use the same itunes account or do I need to open another

    Also I have a missing itouch.  How can I remove that from my account?

    I use the same id and password as I want them all in the same place.  I have tried other solutions offered here like turning off contact, saving to the phone and turning them back on and merging.  still no contacts go to icloud.

  • I have 2 iPhone 4S's, one is personal, one purchased by work for me. Can I use the same iTunes account to sync both phones while keeping the contacts that are synced as separate lists for personal phone and work phone, but also allow same apps for both?

    I'm hoping someone out there knows if I can use 1 apple ID and 1 iTunes account to sync 2 different iPhone 4S's  - one for personal use, and one for work use. I would like to be able to sync with the same music and app's on both, but need to keep the contacts and calendars completely separate between the 2 phones since I don't want personal data on the work phone or work data on the personal phone. Can you help me figure this out?

    Yes!
    Luckily, if you be very careful and pay attention to what you have selected in itunes, you can separate these things
    Basically, in iTunes, there are tabs at the top for Summary, info, apps, etc..
    These tabs control PER DEVICE what syncs between itunes and the device.
    Therefore, you can plug iPhone 4S #1 in, and select to sync contacts with address book, then do so.  Then plug iPhone 4S #2 in, and not choose to sync with address book.  iTunes will keep these settings separate. However, in that situation for music and apps, you would check to sync both on both, in order to get all music and apps on each.
    The only thing to watch out for, each computer 'user' has only one set of address book and ical, meaning that if you want to sync both phones to the computer, but dont want to mix contacts, only one phone will be able to sync contacts and/or calendars.  Basically, each category in the Info tab will only hold one device's information, so you CAN do contacts with iPhone 4S #1, and calendars with #2.

  • CAN I USE THE SAME EXTERNAL FW HD W/ MY MAC AND PC?

    Thanks in advance.

    if i could at a later date use it to back up files from my PC, by just unplugging it from my mac, then plugging it in to my PC
    Okay, that is different. In short, no. Since it seems you're going to be using it on your Mac most of the time, it will have to be in a Mac format in order to write to it. While using MacOpener would allow you to write files to that disk to back up files from the PC, I recommend against doing that.
    To clarify. If you're just backing up basic data from the PC onto a Mac formatted drive through MacOpener, then that's fine. But, if you're using something like Drive Image to make a backup image file of the entire PC hard drive onto the external, then it must be in NTFS format. Otherwise, when you would boot to the emergency restore CD of Drive Image to restore the image to the hard drive, it would be impossible for Drive Image to read the external drive, were it in Mac format.
    If not, can i somehow network an external fire wire (connected to my mac) to be accessed while on my pc?
    Nope, can't do that either. A FireWire chain (or USB) cannot be looped. Worse would be having the drive attached to two separate computers at the same time. Pretty much a guarantee to lose everything on the drive and possibly damage the FireWire controllers on both computers.

  • Can I use the same serial number for mac and pc?

    My problem is that my mac is falling apart and I don't know how long it's still working - can be hours or can be months. I'm not sure if my next computer is mac or PC, so I'd like to know if the same serial number can be used with both mac and PC? I have understod that I can delete the program from my old computer and then use the same serial number in my next computer (Is it working that way?). So if I now buy a lisence for mac, can I use the same lisence later with PC?

    just got a Nikon D610 and CS5 for Mac can't open the images -- message says installed version of camera raw doesn't support the camera.  Downloaded the Raw 6.2 update for Mac, but installation failed. Now what?

    The D610 didn't get out-of-the-box RAW support until Photoshop CC.
    You can either upgrade to CC or use the DNG Converter to convert and open your DNGs in CS5.
