Have Macbook and Imac. Can I download one purchase of Lion to Both ?

If I purchase and download Lion for my IMac can I also download at the one price to my Macbook?

And to be REALLY technical, this is true of all App Store purchases, not just Lion. You can download & install App Store purchases on all relevant, personally-owned, Apple devices registered with your Apple ID.
I believe your Apple Id can have 5 Macs and 10 iDevices. I have 5 macs and 6 idevices, so I can tell you the limits are at least that good. The wierdness is if you buy a mac with Lion or Lion Server pre-installed. Your other macs don't benefit from the pre-installed licenses.
To further confuse matters, iLife does NOT come pre-installed. You open App Store on your new Mac, and App Store offers you the download. From that point, those apps ARE available in your "purchased" screen, and will download everywhere.

  • My MacBook and IMac won't download new iTunes 11.1?

    For Christmas I received loads of CDs. I also received an iPhone 4. I have a PowerBook G4 and an older iMac model. When I went to load the new CDs onto my new phone for the first time, it came up with text saying I needed an iTunes Store update for 11.1 or up. When I went to download this on the online store it came up with another text box after I had downloaded saying I can't install it. So, I went to the iMac computer and tried this again, it did the same thing except it kept bussing and my phone kept saying do it it this computer? At the same time the computer was saying I need in lock my phone and enter the passcode- I haven't got a passcode on my phone yet. Then finally I gave up because I was getting frustrated.
    It could just be because their older computer models but I want to listen to the music at school and I can only do that if it's on my phone. Is there any solution?

    Hi,
    It is because the computers are older models. The G4 is not compatible. How old is the imac, what's its processor and OS X?

  • I can't download previously purchased Mountain Lion in the App Store.

    So after having some hard drive problems, I reinstalled 10.6 from the disk that came with my MBP, and I'm trying to upgrade again to my previously purchased copy of Mountain Lion (I'm realizing now that I probably went about this the wrong way...).
    Anyway, I can't seem to be able to download Mountain Lion. It shows up in Purchases, and when I click Download, the button greys out for a second while the spinny thing spins, then the Download button goes back to normal and I don't see any indication that anything's downloading.
    Here's what it looks like after I press the Download button:
    I'd love any advice or feedback!

    I had already installed the combo update, but after restarting and checking for updates, a security update became available, and after installing that, everything is working normally. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction!

  • I have a macbook and iMac will Ineed to purchase Lion twice for these computers?

    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.

  • I have both an iMovie.app and iMovie 9.09.app on my Macbook Air.  Can I delete one of these apps without losing iMovie?  I need to free up space on my computer as I don't have any space left.

    I have both an iMovie.app and iMovie 9.09.app on my Macbook Air.  Can I delete one of these apps without losing iMovie?  I need to free up space on my Macbook Air as I don't have any space left.  I've ordered an external drive in order to move photos and video there to free up space.  In the meantime I have to make some room for incoming emails and to open programs.  I've already deleted some documents.

    You should find out which app you are using when you double click on a movie.

    Is your Mac new?
    http://www.apple.com/creativity-apps/mac/up-to-date/
    FWIW, iWork as such is no longer available; it is now separate applications: Pages, Numbers, and Keynote.
    Do you have the older (via install DVD) iWork 09 version installed? Then the new versions should show up in Updates (mac app store).

    Your phone is carrier locked to a carrier other than the one you are trying to use.
    It was apparently hacked to unlock it prior to your attempt to update. Updating has re-locked it to the original carrier.
    Contact them and find out what their policy is.
