You may not install Leopard on more than one computer.
Excerpt from the User License Agreement for Leopard:
2. Permitted License Uses and Restrictions.
A. Single Use. This License allows you to install, use and run one (1) copy of the Apple Software on a single Apple-labeled computer at a time. You agree not to install, use or run the Apple Software on any non-Apple-labeled computer, or to enable others to do so. This License does not allow the Apple Software to exist on more than one computer at a time, and you may not make the Apple Software available over a network where it could be used by multiple computers at the same time.
B. Family Pack. If you have purchased a Mac OS X Family Pack, this License allows you to install and use one (1) copy of the Apple Software on up to a maximum of five (5) Apple-labeled computers at a time as long as those computers are located in the same household and used by persons who occupy that same household. By "household" we mean a person or persons who share the same housing unit such as a home, apartment, mobile home or condominium, but shall also extend to student members who are primary residents of that household but residing at a separate on-campus location. The Family Pack License does not extend to business or commercial users.
Apple also does not allow "upgrades" from Single user to the Family Pack.
Hope that helps!

  • Upgrading to 10.5 - Do I need a family pack?

    I have a mac book pro and a powerpc g5. I want to upgrade them both to leopard and I'm getting conflicting messages about whether I can do it with a single user license or not. Can I? Do I have to buy the family package?

    I don't agree. It looks to me that he asked that exact question and that would begin the point where it gets silly.
    The way I read this thread is that someone wants to know if you need a family pack to install Leopard onto multiple computers (Post 1).
    He's told that he actually needs the family pack or he will be breaking the EULA (Post 2)
    He then posts a question if it will be difficult to do with just the *single user version* (Post 3) The it in the first post is to use a single user license on multiple computers.
    Now if the original message didn't already say he wanted to install a single license to multiple computers, then maybe his question should be "would it be hard to install Leopard to a single machine?" That question has nothing to do with this thread.
    That's the way it reads. No mind reading is possible. I read what he says and don't assume anything. If the subject is changed, then post a new thread or at least make it clear the subject has changed. He still needs a family pack to install Leopard to multiple computers. If he doesn't want to buy one, then he will have to go elsewhere for installation information that breaks the EULA.
    The original post was not a silly question.
    I got a feeling this post will get modified

    Hello,
    There are no files like that in that folder (com.apple.safari).  They all have long numbers with .jpeg or .png at the end.  That's what I meant by I cannot find any files like those mentioned in all the helps I read today.  BTW-it's still crashing - no particular pattern to it at all.
    The only two things I have downloaded recently is a new version of Flash and a Mac-driven update to Office.
    Thank you very much for your attempt to help us.

  • I have a Mac i5 and need to download the application 'Numbers' but everytime I try to do so, it says can't do as the ver 2.2 for the app needs new software 'Snow Leopard'. I don't want to upgrade but dont know what to do??

    If your profile is correct you're already on the final version of Snow Leopard (10.6.8). Sure it wasn't Lion it was asking for?
    If that's the only version available on the app store, you'll need to source a copy of the iWork '09 DVD - not cheap now - only available via Amazon or eBay etc.

  • I have a mac pro 1.1. the main hard drive failed. How do I reload OS X 10.7 back in my computer. the app store will not let me reinstall this os. My computer is not compatible OS x 10.8?

    You need to first install the OS your Mac came on the bundled gray disks. Assuming it's Snow Leopard, you could then login into the App Store using your same Apple ID and password to download and install Lion.
    If your Mac is a bit older and came with Leopard, 10.5.x, you can bypass that and install Snow Leopard from your retail disk. The only software you'd need to install separately from the gray disks would be the optional software, such as the iLife suite and other titles not included on the retail SL disk.

    Why would you say that LiveCycle is the only thing to recommend (but isn't available for Macs) then bring up InDesign?
    If it can't be done by the Mac OS (she hasn't mentioned what she has) then it can be done with Acrobat. She asked about a program to create PDF files. That's pretty much what Acrobat does.
    where is whatI said.
    Being That LiveCycle designer is not availble for Mac. That would be about the only thing to recommend. InDesign Maybe but more pricey.
    The part I've underline refers to Acrobat.  InDesign Maybe but more pricey referes to, Indesign being more expensive than Acrobat.

  • I have a mac computer and recently the printer says initialising and I cannot print or copy

    I have a mac computer and recently the printer says initialising and I cannot print or copy.
    The problem has become worse recently and now willonly print a couple of sheets before going to 'initialising'. I.ve moved the printer, changed sockets completed endlessly the directions from HP.
    Any ideas.

    Sorry that you are having a problem with the printer initializing. 
    What type of printer do you have?
    You may need to clean your print head. Sometimes when the print head is clogged or dirty, it will go into initializing because it is not reading the cartridges correctly. 
    Do you have a detachable print head? If so, you can take the print head out and manually clean with lint free cloth and water.

  • I have two Macs: an MBA and the new iMac.  Is there a way to have iTunes and all the content in it identical on both machines?

    I have two Macs: an MBA and the new iMac.  Is there a way to have iTunes and all the content in it identical on both machines?

    Yes you can copy the content to your new machine and use Home Sharing to keep the content identical
    Connect the two machines via an ethernet cable it is 3 times faster than Wifi. Turn wifi off on one machine to enforce ethernet connection
    In System Preferences, Sharing turn on File Sharing
    Then
    Copy the music/itunes folder from the Macbook pro to the music/ folder on the imac
    Both machines should now have the same library
    Disconnect H the ethernet cable
    Set up Home Sharing and under Settings at the bottom of the Home Sharing page. Select to transfer new purchases.
    Do the same on the other machine.
    Then when you r machines are connected by wifi and each time you start itunes it will transfer your new purchases
    Setting up home sharing

  • I have an ipod that is synced with an old PC, and now I have a Mac and I want the ipod to sync the photos on it with the Itunes on my Mac, but it says it was synced with another ipod.  How can I accomplish this?

    Is it the same user/iTunes account or...?
    Syncing to a new computer should give you the opportunity to replace the exisiting contents with the new.

What wil happen if i install OS Lion, do i lost my Applications or ...????

    Hi, the last install dvd that came out for mac's was Snow Leopard,10.6.3. Lion is a download from apple. You cannot just install it over Yosemite. You would have to backup your drive to save files you want and do a clean install. You might want to look into getting more memory. You can run 8 Gig"s of memory on your Macbook Pro.If your Macbook Pro is getting really slow you might want to download EtreCheck  and then post the results here.http://www.etresoft.com/etrecheck  Check out this article.  http://support.apple.com/kb/PH19031

  • I have my mac air hooked to the tv using thunderbolt and HDMI

    I have my mac air hooked to the tv using thunderbolt and HDMI the background screen and screen saver are the only things that will appear, but no icon's and cursor what I'm i missing?

    That's called the "extended desktop mode".  Your screen is logically extended to the right (by default).  Drag an application off the right side of your MBair screen and it'll appear on the TV.
    You can also toggle between extended desktop and mirror mode by pressing CMD F1.
    Visit all the settings in System Preferences > Displays > Arrangement tab.

  • I have 2 Macs, do I need 2 copies of Leopard?

    I recently bought a 20" Imac which includes the disk to upgrade the machine to Leopard. I also own a Macbook which is running Tiger 10.4. I notice that the Leopard disc does not have a serial # and "product activation" a la WinXP. Do I need another copy of Leopard to upgrade my Macbook to Leopard? Obviously I'm a recent PC convert, and the whole WinXP product activation thing and the "one copy for each machine" thing always irritated me. If I do need to buy one I don't mind, I don't mind paying for a quality product, unlike the cr*p that MS tries to cram down your throat. Thanks

    Hi Bob,
    Yes, legally you need a copy for every machine even though they are not serial# protected and can be installed on many machines unless the disk is computer specific.
    Many people with multiple computers buy the family pack OS which has a license for up to 5 users and is about $199 as opposed to $129 for the single user pack.
