How to gift computer with Lion (App Store) to someone else?

I am replacing an iMac which has the current Lion OS on it purchased through the App Store.  I want to give this old computer a friend.  1.  Since Lion updates automatically via my Apple ID at the App Store, what needs to be done to enable the recipient of my gifted computer to continue to receive updates?  AND:
2.  Do I need to do some type of "deauthorization" of my App Store Apple ID like I would do for my iTunes account?
This was not an issue with the old method of the OS on a purchased CD, and it may be a non-issue now.  Thanks!

You can't legally do it.
From the Lion software license agreement, downloadable here:

B. If you obtained your license to the Apple Software from the Mac App Store or on Apple- branded physical media, it is not transferable. If you sell your Apple-branded hardware to a third party, you must remove the Apple Software from the Apple-branded hardware before doing so, and you may restore your system to the version of the Apple operating system software that originally came with your Apple hardware (the “Original Apple OS”) and permanently transfer the Original Apple OS together with your Apple hardware, provided that: (i ) the transfer must include all of the Original Apple OS, including all its component parts, printed materials and its license; (ii) you do not retain any copies of the Original Apple OS, full or partial, including copies stored on a computer or other storage device; and (iii) the party receiving the Original Apple OS reads and agrees to accept the terms and conditions of the Original Apple OS license.

  • How do I download an app that is over 50mb via itunes on my computer with a app store card that has already been redeemed

    I was trying to download plants vs zombies on my iphone but it wouldnt let me saying that the app was over 50mb and that you needed to install it using itunes on your computer. So I tried to do the same thing on my computer by using my app store card to cover the purchase but as the code had already been redeemed it wouldnt let me. Can I get the app using my already reddemed app store card or is that not possible? I will be very grateful for any suggestions or help!

    If you have already purchased it on your iphone, and it simply wasn't able to download, then open itunes on your computer and click Store>Check for Available Downloads

  • How to enable the (Mountain Lion) App Store Debug Menu

    The Mac App Store Debug Menu:

    I'm not sure what you mean? I had problems with App Store, I found this info, I posted it in Discussions so it would be easier for others to find. What's up with ''one up splurben"?

  • My app store has someone else's id

    I have someone else's Apple ID in my App Store but the correct one is in iTunes.  Person is unknown and so I am unable to enter a password.  How do I get rid of it? 

    Settings > Store > tap on the Apple ID at bottom. Sign Out. Sign In with your Apple ID.
    I've seen it happen if you hook up the device to someone else's computer to charge it and they have iTunes installed. Your device can pick up their account name.

  • My mac app store shows someone else's update

    My Mac App Store is showing someone else's update. the update is for an app called CodeBox. I've never heard of it, not even purchasing it. when I tried to cleaning my computer's cache, it's still there. What should I do?? It's very irritating for my family...

    I can't see how it has achieved such notariety in your household ... it is simply an inexpensive developers tool.   That said, you or someone else has downloaded it at some time; it won't just appear.
    But you can check that.   As it is a paid app, it will appear in your purchases list (hidden or unhidden) and if by some odd situation it doesn't, write to the billing department and ask for a copy of the account it featured on.
    In terms of getting rid of it, the chances are it could have been partially deleted by the person who downloaded it.   But you have a clone or similar in your system and that is why MAS is picking it up and showing the update availability.
    You're going to have to search a little harder, I'm afraid.

  • After i post an app to the app store, Can someone else steal my idea?

    I am an aspiring app creator but began wondering whether or not another developer could steal my idea once its out on the app store. Is there an apple policy that states that no one can steal it or is it open for the taking?

    I don't think there would be a policy to prevent healthy competition. Unless another app is blatantly ripping off yours, there is nothing you can do. Multiple takes on the same idea is normal in development circles.
    If competition was blocked, on a Mac we would only have TextEdit for a text editor, Pages for a word processor, QuickTime and iTunes as media players, see where I'm going here?

  • When I try to update apps in App Store show someone else's Apple ID

    cannot login to App Store show another id

    Each application has the associated Apple ID stored inside it. This can't be changed without deleting and redownloading it.

  • How can i buy films from App store spain wenn i'm living in Switzerland? Or how can i buy films in original version with subtiltes?

    How can i buy films from App store spain wenn i'm living in Switzerland? Or how can i buy films in original version with subtiltes?
    Do i need diferents id for each App store? I speak spanish, german and english and i would like to be able to buy films in each diferent language.
    I also have € from a card from App Store Spain that i cannot use because i only have acces to App store switzerland. Can anybody help me? Thanks a lot

    You need to be in a country to buy from its store, so whilst you are in Switzerland you can only use the Swiss store - you will need to be in Spain to use the Spanish store.
    On each film's description page in the store there should be a list of the language(s) and/or subtitles that it has on it e.g. here in the UK one of the new releases, Svengali, has listed on its description page :
    If there is a particular film that you would like to buy in a particular language that is not currently available in the Swiss store then you can try requesting that it be added, but unless the Swiss rights-holder for the film agrees to it then Apple won't be able to sell it there : http://www.apple.com/feedback/itunes.html
    All iTunes gift cards are country-specific, so you will only be able to redeem and use the Spanish gift card when you are in Spain with a Spanish billing address on your account.

    I can't get any of these, it's impossible for me to.
    HELP PLEASE.

    Create a NEW account 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.

    Hola, buen dia, Ignacio. Saludos desde México.
    To get the Mac App Store back you will need to manually download and install the Mac OS X 10.6.7 Update Combo;
    http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1361
    It is safe to install this over your current installation of 10.6.7. It will reinstall the Mac App Store, as well as fill in any gaps that your installation my have. It is a common troubleshooting step.

  • What is wrong with the app store and how long before its fixed, im downloading atna very slow pash and i have a 10mb uncontested line.

    What is wrong with the app store and how long before its fixed, im downloading atna very slow pash and i have a 10mb uncontested line.

    Sorry, its on both my iphone 4s (2 iphones) and ipad2 that the app store is slow, I have done all the above and still when i download a 1 mb app it take about a half a hour just to download and previously it wasn't even a second. When browsing the web the devices are fast and internet speed is good, but when going in to app store it takes long to load and show me the new app, updates, featured app ect. We watch movie online and the streaming is brilliant. Even on my windows pc the app store is slow and sometimes says that i store could not be opened, i have also tried on my buddies wifi and there it does exactly the same which makes me think that its on apples side, but why do you not have any problems?
