How to load lion on multiple macs?

I've downloaded OS X Lion on my ,macbook, have two other macs at home I want to put it on - how is the easiest way to do this? Thanks

Go to the Mac App store on each of the other computers (You'll need for each of them to be running 10.6.8 to do this) and Sign in using the same account that you used to purchase Lion with on your first machine. Then click on the "Purchased" button at the top of the App store. It should show Lion among your purchases. The button to the right of Lion should say "INSTALL". Click it and the download and install process should begin.
That's pretty much it. Best of luck.

HT4854 How can I load Mountain Lion to multiple Macs

How can I load Mountain Lion to multiple Macs without downloading the huge 4Gb file to each machine?

I've never done that, but I don't see why it wouldn't. There is no verification or authentication keys in the installer.
If you need 20+ licenses*, then you might take a look at the volume licensing: http://www.apple.com/mac/volume-licensing/
It describes the same process I described.
* I think 20 is the minimum. Not sure, though.

How do I install lion to multiple macs with a single download from the Mac App Store?

I want to upgrade multiple Macs, but I don't want to download the update multiple times.
Has Apple posted instructions on this? My searches have been in vain.

Upgrading to OS X 10.7 FAQ
Backup your user files and folders manually (drag and drop) from all partitions/OS's installed to a external powered drive and disconnect this drive, before proceeding in addition to TimeMachine, Bootable Clones etc.
You need to make sure you're running the latest version of Snow Leopard10.6.8
Click the "Apple" symbol in the top left corner of your screen and select "About This Mac."
Make sure you're running version 10.6.8.
If not, click "Software Update" from the same Apple menu and update your system.
Then when that's finished launch the MacAppStore from the same menu.
You'll see the giant Lion banner across the top. Click on it.
This brings you to the app page for Lion. It costs $29.99 -- click the price, then click "Buy App."
Free Lion? check here

You'll be prompted to sign in with your iTunes ID. After that, yourdownload / upgrade begins.

Check Apple's license details throughly before usingorinstalling Lion.
This is what binds you legally, notwhat users say or sites suggest you can do.

No"Rosetta" sorry.
Someof your older programs (like Appleworks) that depend upon it will notwork.

(there are reports of hacking Lion to work on 32 bit Intel Core DuoMac's, it's unsupported by Apple and not advised)
Didn't get Lion?
These are user to user support forums and Apple doesn't respond here,
We users can't speak for Apple about your free Lion status or problems downloading, reissuing a download.
It's possible Apple could be spacing out the downloads as not to knock theservers offline. So be patient.
If after a week or so when the initial rush is over, and you still haven't gotten your Lion, I suggest you contact Apple.
Mission critical
If your using Mac's in a mission critical type environment or have third party hardware or software you must rely upon working correctly. It's advised to wait until all the bugs, driver updates, third party software and other issues are resolved before upgrading. This might take several months. Then if you do so, do one machine at a time andcarefully test everything before full deployment.

How to download Lion to multiple computers

Please help !
I have installed Lion on my desktop computer. How do I download Lion for my laptop. Yes, I did pay for this, but it was a download from the store. The directions to do this for multiple computers seem non-existant. Additionally, when I log in to my Apple account it does NOT note that I have purchased Lion at all. My laptop does have 10.6.8 loaded.
Any advice would be much appreciated.
Thanking everyone in advance for the haste in response.

When you purchase Lion from the Mac App Store, you can install it on all your authorized Mac computers. Just sign in to the Mac App Store from each Mac and download Lion from the Purchases list.
The icon say's install instead of the price so it recognises that I have purchased it all ready but it does not download.
May be a connection problem, just try again. Go to the purchased tab, when you click Install, you should be asked for your Apple Account, then you should see:

How to load and unload Multiple External SWF

hello there,
i need help to figuring out how to load and also unload(removing) multiple external SWF.
so here is what i;m trying to do,
i want to load multiple external SWF and play it on my main SWF now i hove no problem with just loading multiple SWF and placing it in the display list .The problem came up when i tried removing those loaded SWF from the display list ,The problem exist because i have no way to refer to what i have loaded and placed on the display list,
i used a single loader instance to load all that external swf,
i do know that we have to remove all the event listener related to the external SWF that we want to remove and for this purpose i have crated a function called destroy which the main objective for this function is to remove all event listener inside the swf and also isolating all variable so it would be eligible for garbage collecting, here is what the code look like:
// Create this in every object you use
public function destroy():void
     // Remove event listeners
     // Remove anything in the display list
     // Clear the references to other objects, so it gets totally isolated
sorry it just a kind of pseudocode cause this function will customize with it's own property i did this just for the purpose of simplicity and easy understanding..,
so now back to main problem how should i solve this problem??
i tried used an arraf to save all the loaded swf
     the array is just used to save the what the loader is loading but the adding to display method is using
movieClipActAsContainer.addChild(e.target.content); //the event is from the Event.COMPLETE
but i have a hard time using that arrya back and matching it to the one i got from the display list.
please do help me,
any suggestion would be greatly appreciated,
and if can pleas show me a source code or pseudocode of what you're suggesting to me cause my english is not so fluent yet,
thanks before.

Hey EI,
I had done this kind of project recently and for loading and unloading different swfs. I had used loaders specific to that filename and for removing I had used a single movieclip instance name and on clicking that specific loader request name that needs to be removed will be requested from the specific function. As mentioned below
Loading SWF:
===============================
swfLoaderIndia.load(swfRequestIndia);//This will load the request
If you are inside a movieclip while requesting use below code
MovieClip(this.root).addChild(swfLoaderIndia);//This will load swf on stage
or else
Stage.addChild(swfLoaderIndia);
Unloading SWF
=====================================
If you are inside a movieclip while requesting use below code
MovieClip(this.root).removeChild(swfLoaderIndia);//This will unload swf on stage
or else
Stage.removeChild(swfLoaderIndia);
Above code will be in specific function which will be requested when the loading and unloading is required.
I hope this helps you in your project.
With Regards,
Sagar S. Ranpise

Hello,
    I ran into the same issue today. I upgraded to Lion and my MS Office 2004 wouldn't work. As QuicktimeKirk said, that version was built for the PowerPC chip, not the current Intel chips. If you want to stay with MS-Office, there is no work around. You'll have to upgrade.
    My solution was to buy MS-Office Mac Home and Student 2011 - Family Pack from Amazon.com.
    I chose the download version and paid $99.82. Here's the link: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004E9SKBO/ref=oh_o00_d_i00_details
    I downloaded the file (~900MB) this afternoon and installed the software. No issues with the install. Make sure you print or screen print a copy of the license key.
    As a side note, my old version of Quicken 2007 also wouldn't work and I had to upgrade my old version of Parallels as well.
    I hope this helps.

At least your query seems to get data where MODIFIED_BY IS NULL, doesn't it?
So if the reccount is>0 there is a reason to inform your employees.

How can I connect to multiple Macs over the internet?

I have forwarded the ports on my Airport Extreme as follows:
10.0.1.3 being assigned to my Mac Mini.
I also have a MacBook Pro at home I would like access to which has the 10.0.1.4 reserved/assigned. I cannot connect to it because the port forwarding points to the Mac Mini, and it doesn't allow me to create another rule since those ports are already being used by that first entry. How do I go about having the option to connect to either one of the two computers at home when I'm at work using Apple Remote Desktop?

it's not really a confirmed limitation of ARD, ARD is not designed to work outside of a LAN
it's designed for system admins to manage macs remotely while on the same LAN
but you want to use it outside of your LAN, you can by using VPN
VPN gives you remote secure access to your LAN
you will appear to be connected to your LAN
so you can do most things as you would if you were actually on your LAN
ARD does not facilitate a VPN connection
you'd connect using a VPN connection to your LAN then start ARD, ARD will behave just as it would if you were on the LAN
VPN client is built into OSX, system preferences, network, add choose VPN connection
You'd need a VPN server such as OSX server on your LAN
and configure any firewalls, routers etc to allow incoming VPN to connect to your server
You'd also need either a fixed external IP address and external domain name or use dynamic DNS setup
you could also try logmein

Install Mountain Lion on Multiplie Macs (Different ID's)

I have a client who has 4 Macs, and I have one myself. I have downloaded and installed Mountain Lion via the app store with no issues and have reccommneded they upgrade also. Their boradband connectins isn't very good and I will only be onsite for a limited amount of time, so don't want to either kick of 4 *4Gb dowloads all at once (as this will kill their internet) or run them one after another as that will just take too long.
So I have a copy of the install file on my machine, I could used Air Drop or a Usb stick to to copy this onto their machines, however is this file assocciated with my Apple ID? I don't want to break the terms of my licence and they are more than happy to pay for their own copy with their own ID's. Is there a way of me being able to use my install file, but still get them to pay via the App store?

Log in to App store on other computer with the apple ID that Mountain Lion was purchased with.
Click on Purchases icon at top of page.
Download and install.

How to install Lion on older Mac Pro

I had a Macbook Pro that I installed Lion onto. The Macbook pro overheated and is now dead. I'd like to install Lion on my older Mac Pro (can't install Maverick on this computer) and when I go to the app store it says Lion isn't available in the U.S. Anyway to get it onto this computer? If not, I have no way of syncing this Mac.

How to Load Playlists After Switching Mac Users

Hi, I'd like to access the same songs and playlists in the same iTunes account when opening iTunes under different users logged onto the same Mac.
Originally iTunes was organized under a User "A" on a Mac. Now I would like to log into User "B" on the same Mac and open iTunes with the same playlist/account authorization.
How can this be done? How can the playlists created under User A be transferred for use in iTunes under User B?
Thanks

If your machine's firmware was updated to allow Internet Recovery (hold down Command + Option + R while restarting or rebooting until you see a spinning globe, then wait for the Utilities window to show - up to 10 minutes), then you can wipe the drive in Disk Utility and choose to reinstall Mac OS X. Doing it that way, the version closest to the original version will be installed without tieing it to an Apple ID.
If the firmware was not updated, you can use the original install disks to boot from wipe the drive, and reinstall the OS.
With either method, you will be able to use your own Apple ID to get updates/upgrades at the app store.

Installing Lion on multiple macs

I purchased and installed Lion from the app store on my powerbook. Is there a way to install on my IMAc with out purchasing again? I heard you can do three...is that true?

Yes, just copy the Lion installer app to the other Macs and run it from there.
Unfortunately, the Lion installer self destructs after running it the first time. So if you didn't make a backup copy of it before installing, you'll have to download it again. As long as you log in to the Mac App Store with the same account you used the preivious time, you shouldn't be charged again.

How to buy lion for multiple business users?

I purchased through the App Store for myself. I need to use my login with the company info to purchase legit copies for another 4 business computers. How to do this legit?
-Larry

If it's only for 4 business users I doubt volume licencing applies. Simply make a bootable installer of ML on DVD; USB stick; or USB HD. Plenty of how-to's on the web, so do a search on google.
