How can i use a purchased version of Lion on a new Air to install on an existing iMac?

I have just bought a new Macbook air today which comes with Lion. I also have an iMac 27" at home already running Snow Leopard. Do I have to buy another copy of Lion for the iMac or am I entitled to use the installation I have with the Air? How would I go about getting Lion on the iMac in this case?

Yes, legally (and probably technically as well) you need to purchase Lion for your iMac. The copy that will come with your new MBA is licensed only for that system.
Regards.

  • How can I get an older version of Ffx? 4.0 won't install on my old imac OSX 10.5.8.

    When I attempt to install Firefox, it will not authenticate. Architecture will not support this version. I have an iMac - PowerMac 6.1. 1 GHz PowerPC Gr (3.3) processor. It's running Mac OS X 10.5.8 (9L31A) Darwin 9.8.0.
    May I have access to an older version Firefox that will run on my machine?
    Cheers*

    For those that really need an earlier version of Firefox, find your system and the Firefox version you want in releases, download and start the install.
    :for the latest of version 3

    : Note Mac OS X 10.4 user, and Mac OS X 10.5 users without Intel cannot upgrade to Firefox 4 or 5.
    When reinstalling Firefox from a download, Firefox must be down once the installation starts. When the installation finishes, don't let the install start firefox for you. Instead end the install and start Firefox in your normal manner, thus preventing creating a new profile which does not have your bookmarks cookies, etc (but your old profile would still be around and would).

    I just purchased an iMac.  How can I use apps purchased on my iPhone and iPad on my new laptop?

    1) Congratulations on purchaing an iMac. But an iMac is not considered a laptop.
    2) Apps you bought for you iPhone and iPad can interchange with each other, but can NOT run on an Imac or a MacBook.
    You will have to buy the same title again from the Mac App Store. When you do, you can run them on your iMac and your MacBook.

  • HT201269 Hi. I have shared an Apple ID with my children for some time.  As they are getting older they do not wnat me seeing all their messages, photos etc so want their own accounts.  How can they access their purchased music and apps on the new account

    Hi. I have shared an Apple ID with my children for some time.  As they are getting older they do not wnat me seeing all their messages, photos etc so want their own accounts.  How can they access their purchased music and apps on the new account please?

    Yes.
    On their iOS devices, under Settings>iTunes & App Store, they should use your Apple ID. When they log into iCloud, iMessage and Facetime, they should use their personal Apple IDs.

    I have two iphones, different telcos, i am using the same apple id for both - how can i use the 10GB icloud free memory of my new iphone 5?

    Thank you KiltedTim!
    YES, that is the free 5GB icloud memory for each apple ID. Can I not add the free 5Gb of my second Iphone to my original apple ID (5GB also) as I want to use one Apple ID name on both 2 Iphones? Is it necessary to have a different apple ID for the second Iphone to avail the free 5GB it carries with it?

  • How can I use LDAP searching from OSX Lion Server to Mozilla Thunderbird?

    How can I use LDAP searching from OSX Lion Server to Mozilla Thunderbird?  We have a super awesome contacts server that works great for our Mac users.  About 30% of our company are on PCs, and I would like to use the Mozilla Thunderbird mail client for them.  I see that in Thunderbird I can set up LDAP searching, and would like to have this feature point to our contacts server.  I've tried several different settings, and looked all over the web, but could not find the proper way to configure this.  Does anyone know if this can be done, or if not, would have a better suggestion?  Thank you for your time!!

    We are all just your fellow users. No one here is going to be able to answer those questions for you. Bottom line is, for whatever reaons, you cannot use your iPad as a mobile hotspot. If that's the reason why you bought it, you need to either return it or sell it.
    Submit your feedback to Apple here:

    Many people find that it's still a useful device even without that feature.

  • How can I use iTunes purchased music on non PC devices?

    I have an audio component that is a music server that is connected to my home audio system. The hard drive based music server has a front disc tray that you can use to rip CDs to its hard drive, but you can also copy music to it from a PC, as the server is connected to my home network.
    How can I get music that I purchase in iTunes onto this server? The server only accepts MP3s, and is not compatable with ACC. And its a music server, not a true PC, so dont see anyway how I could "authorize" it.
    Is there any way to get the ACC into MP3 format? Or if I burn the purchased music to CD, and then rip the CD back to a PC or the server itself, does it come back out as ACC again or MP3?
    If anybody can be of any help, it would be much appreciated. Thanks
      Windows XP  

    Burn the tracks out to an audio CD (make sure it's set to burn an audio CD, not a data CD, in the iTunes preferences). That CD can then be reimported as MP3.

  • How can I activate an old version of Dreamweaver on a new computer? (2004 version)

    I had Dreamweaver 2004 on my old laptop which recently crashed.  I need to transfer the program to my new computer.  Online activation has been shut down for this version.  How can I activate it?

    Keep in mind that 2004 software is more than a decade old now.  Adobe no longer supports it.  And it was never intended to run on modern operating systems so you may experience problems.  Also, web standards have changed a LOT in 10 years.  This might be a good opportunity to update your software.

  • How can I Use the iCloud Control Panel to pick a new folder

    I apparently moved or deleted my iCloud folder and keep getting this message Use the iCloud Control Panel to pick a new folder.  How do I do this?

    I have/had the same problem, just started this morning. I tried a system restore to a known good date. I still had the problem so I rolled restored the system to the latest.
    Thinking that it might have something to do with priviliges, I reviewed my user account and noticed it was set to "Administrator". On a whim, I switched my user account from administrator to "standard user" and I'll be... the issue dissapeared. I have no idea why. But I thought I'd pass it along.

  • How can I use an older version of Firefox?

    I have the latest version of Firefox, but I need versions 1.5 or 2 so that I can take an MCAT test at home. Is there a compatible way?
    == 5/21/10

    So I downloaded the portable version of Firefox and now it's telling me to drag the folder to my portable drive, but when I drag it onto the drive picture right next to it, it has a circle with a line through the middle not letting me drag it there.... so how do I get it on my drive?

  • Too many web sites that I go to do not work with your latest version. How can I use a previous version? Right now, I have to switch to IE because I do not upgrade it until I absolutely have to.

    I have to work with a lot of company web sites that are slow to adopt new browser features and expectations. The end result is that when Firefox updates my browser automatically, I frequently find myself broken, and in some cases, simply denied access, for having an "unsupported" browser or browser version. I would like to be able to open a previous version of Firefox, so that I can access that web site. But it appears that when you update, you remove/replace the previous version(s), and I am forced to use another browser.

    I am currently using HP Simple Pass version 6.0, and it had been working like a dream until Firefox recently upgraded to v. 30. Now it doesn't work at all :( The current software won't have anymore updates (last one in 2013), because the omnipresent Apple bought Aunthentec (the company that makes (made) Simple Pass) back in 2012. Dear Firefox, please update whatever you have to to make the 2 compatible again, or I won't be able to use Firefox anymore. :(
