  • I have three macs... Do I need to buy 3 separate upgrades for lion at $29.99?

    i have three macs... Do I need to buy 3 separate upgrades for lion at $29.99?

    No...  Because it is distributed via the Mac App Store, it falls under the Mac App Store rules..  Which should mean that you can install it on up to 5 machines that you own.

  • We have a complete CC business membership and currently have the programs installed on 2 computers but need to add them onto a 3rd. Can we add a licence to our membership or do we need to purchase an additional membership?

    We have a complete CC business membership and currently have the programs installed on 2 computers but need to add them onto a 3rd. Can we add a licence to our membership or do we need to purchase an additional membership?

    If you have Creative Cloud for teams, and you bought the licenses through Adobe direct (via Adobe.com), you can add licenses yourself, and they will be invoiced automatically as you get invoiced for the other two licenses.
    Log into adobe.com with your team admin Adobe ID and password.
    Once logged in you should be able to access a Manage Team option from the menu.
    In the top-right corner there should be an Add Licenses button, that lets you purchase any number of additional licenses.
    If you've not purchased through Adobe direct, but through a reseller, you'd need to contact your reseller to add the additional license.
    Hope this helps,
    Cari

  • I have ordered OS X 10.6.  I have 1 GB of memory.  Will I need to buy more memory?

    I have ordered OSx 10.6.  I have 1 GB of memory.  Will I need to buy more memory?

    If you like to work with photos, graphics, or videos at all, then 2 GB would be much better; I actually had 3 GB installed when I was running Snow Leopard (that was the maximum for my iMac). The minimum requirements published are exactly that: a minimum. For instance, for Mountain Lion, it says 2 GB; unless you do nothing but email and web browsing, 4 GB is a much more realistic minimum.
    So, if your computer model can handle 2 GB, go for it.

  • I have the trial version of LR5, do I need to buy full version or just the upgrade?

    I have the trial version of LR5, do I need to buy full version or just the upgrade?

    If you have a paid-up version of LR4 or earlier, you can pay for an upgrade licence.  When you install LR and it asks for a licence, if you give it an upgrade licence then it will ask for the previous licence that you're upgrading. 

  • If I already have iWork suite on my iPad, do I need to buy another for my MacBook Pro?

    If I already have iWork suite on my iPad, do I need to buy another for my MacBook Pro, can i transfer to my new acbook pro?

    The Mac version is a separate version from the iOS version and has top be paid for separately.
    If you buy it from the Mac App Store (MAS) however it is quite cheap and can be installed on all your computers that use the same Apple ID.

    No.
    It requires a Mac running 10.6.8 to be installed. Snow Leopard can be purchased at the Apple Store for about $20.

  • If I bought a new mac, but have match on my old pc, do I need to buy it again?

    Bought a new mac and on my old pc i bought match.
    But on my new mac it says i dont have match, do i need to buy it again?

    You will just need to sign in to the match service under the store section at the top tool bar. You might need to authorize your apple id as well to work with the new computer.
    But the service can be transferred from authorized computer to authorized computer no problem.

  • I need to install windows on my mac for a programme I have to use.. Do I just need to buy a windows 7 cd or is there more to it?

    I am still very new to apple products so excuse my stupidly, basically I need to install windows on my iMac as I use a software programme that needs this. How do I install windows on my mac and is there a version of windows I need or is anyone compatible. I'm looking at buying windows 7 for my mac from plc world!! Just looking for some info on how installing windows as well as iOS works and wether they work well together.. All feed back will be much appreciated.

    Windows on Intel Macs
    There are presently several alternatives for running Windows on Intel Macs.
         1. Install the Apple Boot Camp software.  Purchase Windows
             XP w/Service Pak2, Vista, or Windows 7.  For Boot Camp
             4.0 and above you can only use Windows 7 or later. Follow
             instructions in the Boot Camp documentation on
             installation of Boot Camp, creating Driver CD, and
             installing Windows.  Boot Camp enables you to boot the
             computer into OS X or Windows.
         2. Parallels Desktop for Mac and Windows XP, Vista Business,
             Vista Ultimate, or Windows 7.  Parallels is software
             virtualization that enables running Windows concurrently
             with OS X.
         3. VM Fusion and Windows XP, Vista Business, Vista Ultimate,
             or Windows 7.  VM Fusion is software virtualization that
             enables running Windows concurrently with OS X.
         4. CrossOver which enables running many Windows
             applications without having to install Windows.  The
             Windows applications can run concurrently with OS X.
         5. VirtualBox is an Open Source freeware virtual machine such
             as VM Fusion and Parallels that was developed by Solaris.
             It is not as fully developed for the Mac as Parallels and VM
             Fusion.
    Note that VirtualBox, Parallels, and VM Fusion can also run other operating systems such as Linux, Unix, OS/2, Solaris, etc.  There are performance differences between dual-boot systems and virtualization.  The latter tend to be a little slower (not much) and do not provide the video performance of the dual-boot system. See MacTech.com's Virtualization Benchmarking for comparisons of Boot Camp, Parallels, and VM Fusion. Boot Camp is only available with Leopard or Snow Leopard. Except for Crossover and a couple of similar alternatives like DarWine you must have a valid installer disc for Windows.
    You must also have an internal optical drive for installing Windows. Windows cannot be installed from an external optical drive.

  • How to connect a wireless drive and stream to my stereo through MacBook. I currently have a non apple WiFi network

    I currently have a PC based WiFi network and am about to buy a MacBook Pro. I have 250 gb iTunes library and 100+ gb of photos. What I was going to get is the 120gb MacBook and run an external drive to store the iTunes library and photos. For intensive photographic work I'd directly connect the drive but day to day I'd connect it to the wireless network. What I want to do is to stream my music, from the wireless drive to my stereo
    Will the drive work this way on my existing router - usb2 connected? Or do I need an apple device.  Should I use an airport or Apple TV to connect to the stereo?
    I also want to have the option of streaming from my iPhone.

    Hard to say when you don't give us a clue what you current router is??
    USB2 is slow.. it is double slow from a network device.. and even slower if that network device doesn't actually have too much CPU power or RAM..
    Even worse is the idea to move the disk from the network to the local external port.. because then format comes into play.. Apple devices can use FAT32.. yuk.. but really want HFS+.. most routers cannot talk HFS+ except apple ones.. they want NTFS or FAT32.. You can see where this is going.. buy two disks.. one for library.. one for a scratch disk .. usb3 will be great.. or thunderbolt even better. And when finished copy your project to the network drive..
    Think carefully about backups.. they are important too.. might be time to invest in a real NAS. Not toy systems with USB.. dangling off them.
