How to install Lion on Mac with slow internet connection.

My father's Mac mini has a slow internet connection.  I always update it by taking the update packages that I download on my iMac to his machine.  Will I be able to do that with 10.7 (Lion) when it is purchased/downloaded from the Mac App Store?

It seems that Apple's license terms will allow that across Macs that share the same App Store ID, but I doubt that's the case with you and your father.  Physically the update package for Lion could be moved, but the licensing issues will have to be worked out.  You're not the only person who's concerned with the issue of how to download a 4 GB file for Lion.

  • Help please with slow internet connection

    My broadband speed to my Imac is slow at around 2mbps.
    Internet provider is BT Broadband in UK.  They have tested the line and I have 8mbps at the router.  I have confirmed this by interogating the router ADSL Line status. The router also shows that I have a 100mbps ethernet cable connection to the iMac.  However, when I run the BT perforance tester in Safari or Chrome the test result is just 2mbps.
    I have tried 2 different routers and have checked the speeds on a macbook pro and sony playstation with the same results.  All tests were done with only one device connected to the router.
    Why is it that my devices can only get 2mbps When the router(s) have 8mbps?
    I'm running OS X 10.8.2 (12C60) on the 27" iMac with a 2.8GHz Intel Core i7

    Problem solved!
    It took:-
    4 day's of discussing this issue with BT though the usual automated telephone answering palava and talking to at least 4 different support team people, all from/in another country with different understanding, communication and training levels.
    Running numerous Line tests
    Trying 3 different routers (including having to find the old ones in the shed!)
    Checking speeds on an iMac, Macbook Pro, iPad and even a Playstation
    Methodically checking the settings of the router detail by detail
    Running other speed testers
    Changing cables
    etc. etc...
    I finally realised that whilst my connection speed was 8mbps, BT had set an IP Profile for the line of 2mbps.  This is not alway's obvious when you run their speedtester as that site doesn't alway's show it to you!
    Having rung them again and told them of my discovery I now have between 6 & 7mbps and can hopefully watch steaming video without interuption.
    An awful and unneccessary experience - Well done BT!

  • How to download InDesign in area with no internet connection?

    Can anyone help me?  I will be new to Indesign and am an old school Quark user. My biggest issue right now before utilizing the trial download is that I am in an area that has no internet service.  Can you imagine those areas still exist?  I was researching download info, and it looks like I need at least a broadband connection to download.  Has anyone ever tethered their mobile data on smart phone or does anyone have any other suggestions?

  • How do I maintain license on systems with no internet connection?

    I will be installing CS6 on PCs with initial internet connection, but they will be moved into a space without any internet.

    Hello Scott,
    Adobe has prepared this informations: https://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/policy-pricing/activation-network-issues.html
    >>> Additional information for users who are temporarily unable to connect >>> ...I quote:
    What happens if it's necessary to be offline for a while?
    The Creative Cloud software makes a call to Adobe servers once a day to verify the account status.
    If the account is in good standing (that is, payment is up-to-date) when the last call happens, the software status is refreshed to run for at least 99 days while being offline.
    Note: Signing out and signing back in (while online) just before going offline for a long period ensures that the software works for at least 99 days without needing to connect.
    The software still reminds you to connect to the Internet during this time. These reminders can be suppressed until the last 30 days, when a daily message prompts you to go online and refresh the software status.

  • Cannot install lion from mac appstore. i have a macbook pro early 2011 model with 10.6.8 and i keep getting a wierd error NSInternalInconsistencyException i have no idea what to do.

    I cannot install lion from mac appstore. i have a macbook pro early 2011 model with 10.6.8 and i keep getting a wierd error NSInternalInconsistencyException i have no idea what to do.

    I changed my wireless broadband to a landline-base DSL wifi and it works like a charm. Sun was the culprit even you fiddle with its router and disable firewall, it won't work.
    try changing yours too and let me know how it goes.

  • My 2007 mac pro has a slow internet connection with lion

    Hi:
    I've been dealing with a severely slow internet connection with my 2007 mac pro - dual quad core.  I have os 10.7.3.  I use wifi. 
    Typically, I'll experience difficulty loading websites completely.  Certain sites have a 90% failure rate to load most elements.  Other sites operate quickly from time to time.  Often, a site will simply fail to load at all.  My cable company cannot find anything wrong with my connection and other, newer devices don't have a problem loading sites.  It seems the issue is most likely related to my computer.
    Interestingly, I can usually "jump-start" the connection by turning my wifi connection off and on and this will (temporarily) allow me to get an image or video to download.
    Any ideas?
    Thank you for your time.

  • Adobe creative cloud set up to install on a mac with parallels windows 8

    Unfortunately it is not possible to install the program it always displays an error message. how can you loess the problem?
    error message: This application can not be run from a network drive-. copy it to a local folder and strarten it again.

    I have just the regular version, not Professional.
    I mean "les integrated", in the sense that you really run Fusion "in a window". The more "integrated" approach means that Windows applications run as if they were for the Mac, and you do not see the Windows interface at all. I personnaly think tjat is too confusing. There is nothing wrong with it, just a bit more confusing. i like having it clear that Windows is in a seperate Window.

    how to install Aperture on Mac OS 10.6.8?

    But the current AppStore version needs MacOS 10.7.5 or 10.8.2; there is no way to install it on Snow Leopard. The Trial version can be installed, but you need to purchase a serial number, and that you will find only with the retail version in the box.
