Do you have to down load from the internet using apple's recover partition, every time you need to do a clean install? or can you make a copy of Mt Lion onto a USB stick and install off that?

Do you have to down load Mountain Lion from the internet every time you need to do a clean install? or can you make a copy of Mt Lion onto a USB stick and install off that?
Thanks

Yes you can make a USB stick of Lion or Mt Lion. Use Lion Disk Maker after you download OS X from the internet.
For Lion you have to point the download to an external drive and watch when it completes and reboots the system to start the install disconnect the external. If you bought Mt Lion from the Mac App Store then you can download it from there and just cancel the install when it comes up on the desktop.
If you are downloading from the Recovery HD or from the Online Internet Recovery system, slightly different then the built in Recovery HD, then again you need to point it to an external drive and discoonect that drive when the system reboots to start the real install.
Then use Lion disk maker to create either a DVD disc or USB thumb of the install files.

HT1420 Can't authorize my computer

I cannot figure out how to authorize my computer (Windows8) to access previous purchases that were made on a different laptop. When I follow the instructions "From the Store menu, choose Authorize This Computer" I don't have that option. Any advice?

Authorization and Deauthorization
Macs: iTunes Store- About authorization and deauthorization.
Windows: How to Authorize or Deauthorize iTunes | PCWorld.
In iTunes you use the Authorize This Computer or De-authorize This Computer option under the Store menu in iTunes' menubar. For Windows use the ALT-S keys to access it. Or turn on Windows 7 and 8 iTunes menus: iTunes- Turning on iTunes menus in Windows 8 and 7.
More On De-authorizing Computers (contributed by user John Galt)
You can de-authorize individual computers, but only by using those computers. The only other option is to "de-authorize all" from your iTunes account.
1. Open iTunes on a computer
2. From the Store menu, select "View my Account..."
3. Sign in with your Apple ID and password.
4. Under "Computer Authorizations" select "De-authorize All".
5. Authorize each computer you still have, as you may require.
You may only do this once per year.
After you "de-authorize all" your authorized computers, re-authorize each one as required.
If you have de-authorized all computers and need to do it again, but your year has not elapsed, then contact: Apple - Support - iTunes - Contact Us.

HT1420 can i authorize more than 5 devices

I have 3 kids with a computer and a total of 6 devices, can i authorize all of them for home sharing? even at an additional cost

Authorising only applies to computers, iOS devices (iPad, iPhones, iPod Touches) don't count - you can't increase the number of computers that can be authorised.

HT1420 Can't authorize 4th computer

I have three computers and three phones and one iPad authorized to my acct. I am getting the message that I have reached my 5 computer limit even though only three are computers. How can I authorize another computer?

Easiest is to deauthorise all devices then reauthorise the ones you want (you can only do this once a year). It's likely that you have something else authorised that you've forgotten about.
Sign in to the iTunes Store, choose Store > View My Apple ID, and click Deauthorize All.

HT1420 Can you have more than one device with a different Apple ID authourized to the same computer

Can you have more than one device with a different Apple ID authourized to the same computer

I think you are using the same Composition Class on both project. On the properties tab, you can change this number (e.g.: EDGE-1637270).

How many computers can you authorize with one serial number?

Hey guys.
I'm thinking about buying a 2nd Mac, but I'm just curious how many total computers you have authorize Logic studio on at one time (my guess would be 3 but I hope more).
Please let me know if you can.
Thanks,
Nathan

I'll copy my post from the other thread:
I don't know for the others but in my retail package ((not upgrade) I found two serial numbers. Though I haven't got time yet to try the second serial number on my MacBook, my logic says that with two different serials I could run both macs simultaneously and be on the network. But, my logic fails so often so it's better to shut my mouth, install Logic on MacBook and come back here again.

HT1420 Can I authorize more than 5 devices on my itunes account?

Is there a way to add more than 5 devices to your itunes account? In this day and age where a single person can have multiple, in my case 7 devices, I would like to authorize all my devices to my iTunes account because of iTunes Match.

As King_Penguin stated this does not include iOS devices, that is unless you are referring to devices associated with iTunes Match (10 devices, including iOS devices).
It is likely that the other devices were old computers that never got deauthorized.
Apple offers a Deauthorize All option for this very reason. It's use is limited to once per 12 month period.
See the Deauthorize all computers section of this article:
Authorize or deauthorize your Mac or PC
After they are all deauthorized, go back and reauthorize each computer you are currently using.

HT1420 can you deauthorize a defunct computer without deauthorizing all computers?

trying to authorize a new computer...but can't as there's already 5 on. Can I see which those are and deauthorize certain ones without having to deauthorize all?

Nope. Either you know which machines you can afford to deauthorize, and do so, or deauthorize all and then authorize the ones that you want again.

HT1420 Can Not Authorize a new computer on iTunes

Hi all,
I have de-authorized two of the possible five devices on iTunes. I am attampting to authorize a Dell Laptop computer, but it keeps telling me that I must deauthorize another device.   I have exited the program and re-opened it, but it made no difference. Likewise, I've rebooted the system but still no change. Any ideas??

Open iTunes...
If you're using iTunes 11 click on the box icon in the top-left corner to see the " Show Menu Bar "
and from the Menu Bar select Store...
From the Store menu, choose Authorize This Computer.
When prompted, enter your Apple ID and password, then click Authorize.

HT1420 Can't authorize/deauthorize

I am caught in a very frustrating revolving door. iTunes tells me I can't play a song because my computer is not authorized, because I have used all 5 of the allowed authorizations (must be some still authorized dead old computers, as I only have 2 and an ipod). So I deauthorize all, but when I try to then authorize receive the same message about no more authorizations available...help!

Use the Deauthorize All function.

Can you use a HDD as storage for Win 7 and Mountain Lion installed on a separate SSD?

I replaced the stock 500 GB HDD on my 15 inch 2012 Macbook Pro with a 128 GB SSD, but I need more storage. I've also installed Windows 7 on the SSD on a partition via Bootcamp. My question is, can I install the HDD in the optical drive bay using a caddy and can I use the it's 500 GB as storage for both operating systems? Thank you.

You can do that without any problem, and that's what most people do. You will only need to format the HDD with exFAT or FAT32 (do it on Windows), and it will be read by Windows and OS X

Can you give suggestions on new editing hardware?

Hi there,
I try not to post at multiple places but I've already posted at CreativeCow and haven't received a response. I'm wondering if anyone here has some suggestions for me.
After searching around I came across Videoguys DIY build suggestions. Not being a hardware guru I thought it would be best to find systems people are happy with and customize only if needed. I looked at their 9.5 build and it's about $1,700 without an OS or hdd. Below are my specs and prices from Newegg. But I have a few questions I'm hoping more knowledgeable people could give some guidance with.
1. I'm wondering if enough time has passed since the 9.5 build that you might recommend other parts or combinations for same or less price?
2. It would be nice to cut the cost a little since I still need an OS and SSD for booting, but not at the cost of regretting it later. It will primarily be editing Canon DSLR footage and I'm finding myself doing more and more After Effects work too. Would I be unwise to try to cut costs by downgrading any of the current specs below?
3. The video card they recommended on one page was GeForce GTX 670 ($370) (no CUDA support by adobe). Another page said to go with a QUADRO 4000 ($700+). Currently I'm using an outdated card with the CUDA hack... which... is lacking. I would like CUDA support but I am still on a budget. Any suggestions for a budget GPU with CUDA support?
Here's the current shopping cart at Newegg:

Thanks Todd. What should I be looking for ias far as speed, timing, etc.? Reading over suggestions on ram I learned that with this particular mobo and cpu (ASUS P9X79 Pro w/ Intel Core i7 3930K Sandy Bridge-E 3.2GHz - Neither purchased yet) the Ripjaws "Z" Series was recomended instead of the "X" series. Because I'm not in a huge rush for it I would like to watch for deals on parts. Should I set my sights on the Ripjaws Z's or can I get something else (Crucial, etc.)? If so, what specs should I set as my bar to buy (1600 vs 2133, etc.)?
Newegg has some Ripjaws Z http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820231501 with the following specs for 8x4GB at $246:
DDR3 2133 (PC3 17000)
Timing 11-11-11-30
Cas Latency 11
Voltage 1.6V
Newegg also has some 1600 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820231498 with the following specs for 8x4GB at $290
DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800)
Timing 9-9-9-24
Cas Latency 9
Voltage 1.5V
I've read lower voltage is better for overclocking (which I probably wont be doing) but that's about all I know. The 2133 cards are on sale but I haven't researched enough to know if that's a sale I should grab right now or look other brands.
Thank you very much for your guidance!
PS, John T Smith, sorry for calling you "Todd!" I just caught that.
