Technical issues aside, there's still a legal issue.
Neither 2006 nor 2007 MacBooks shipped with Snow Leopard 'factory' installed. OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard became available in September 2009. So you purchased and installed a Snow Leopard upgrade disc on the 2007 system at some point.
If your Snow Leopard upgrade was a single-user copy, then legally, you need to purchase another one for the second computer. If your Snow Leopard upgrade was a Family Pack 5-user license, then you're good to go.

If you have an active MobileMe account, Apple was giving away a single-user upgrade copy of Snow Leopard for a limited time, and you should have received an email with a link, or been offered the opportunity when you signed in to your MobileMe account on the web:

Worst case, single-user Snow Leopard upgrade discs are $29 retail, direct from Apple. I'd hate to have two computers and no OS installation CD's for whatever version I'm currently using.

  • I got a new computer and downloaded itunes to it, is there a way to get my song from my old computer with itunes to my new one without having to redownload them all

    I was hoping i could just sign in on my new one and get all the songs to it with out redownloading them.

    It is a reasonable question - we increasingly see the ability to access "my data" through the cloud rather than relying on local storage.  In the case of iTunes:
    You can, in most cases, access and re-download previous iTunes Store purchases
    If you subscribe to iTunes Match, your complete library - within the 25,000 song limit imposed by the service - will be available to you,
    That being said, the most complete and reliable method is still to copy your complete library (database, media, artwork, ...) from the older computer to the new one.  If you've configured iTunes so that all your music, etc., is stored within the iTunes Media folders then you can just copy the C:\Users\username\Music\iTunes folder and all its contents from the old computer to the corresponding location on the new one.  Depending on the size of your library you can copy it across a network, using a thumb drive or an external (USB) hard drive.
    If you have media stored elsewhere on the old computer the process is a little more complex.

  • Is there any way to set an image from your camera roll as a wallpaper without having a shadow over it on iOS7?

    Everytime you set a picture from Camera Roll as a wallpaper a dark shadow appears on the top and the bottom of the image.
    Is there anyway one can turn this off? I've noticed this doesn't happen with the preset wallpapers the phone brings.. Thanks
    Any suggestions would be appreciated!
    Thanks,
    Emilia

    I believe the iPhone does this a default so you can view the time more clearly   There is no way to turn this I think. But I have found zooming in on an image ever so slightly and moving it around can change the effect.  Good luck

  • I purchased a new laptop. How do I get my books from my old computer to the new laptop?

    Is there a way to get my books from my old computer unto my new laptop?

    What are the models of each computer? Open System Preferences in the Utilities folder. Report what you see displayed as the Model Identifier for each computer you have. Or, if you know what Firewire ports look like just check the ports for each computer. They would also be shown it the user manuals for each computer.

  • I have an iPod whose contents I want to transfer to a newer Ipod.  At some stage I lost the music files from my library.  Is there any way to get them back from the older iPod and put them onto the newer one again?  I stupidly synced the wrong one.

    Have you not got a backup of your content on, for example, external drives ? If not then you could have a look to see if any of the utilities mentioned in this old post still exist and work : https://discussions.apple.com/message/11014893?messageID=11014893#11014893

    Thanks but have tried that - When I try to restore I get a -50 error and into a loop of taking another back up.  I took a copy of the back up before the IOS upgrade and have it stored on my desk top but I cannot get Itunes to restore to that back up

    - Just transfer the apps and iBooks to the computer by:
    iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer
    In iTunes 11 use Control+B to show the Menu bar then go to iTunes>File>Devices>Transfer Purchases
    - Preferences and photos taken by the iPad are included in the backup that iTunes makes

  • HT4757 Will this software make my Canon Powershot A700 work with os x 10.8.2 and iPhoto 11 v. 9.4.1?  Is there any way to get my camera compatible with this computer?

    Will this software make my Canon Powershot A700 work with os x 10.8.2 and iPhoto 11 v. 9.4.1?  Is there any way to get my camera compatible with this computer?

    First Try the following:
    1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your
         User/Home/Library/ Preferences folder.
    2 - delete iPhoto's cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your
    User/Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder (Snow Leopard and Earlier).
    or with Lion and Mt. Lion from the User/Library/Containers/com.apple.iPhoto/
    Data/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder
    3 - launch iPhoto and try again.
    NOTE:  In Lion and Mountain Lion the Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and hit the Enter button - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.
    If that doesn't help apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
    Fix #1
    1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
    2 - run Option #4 to rebuild the database.
    Fix #2
    Using iPhoto Library Manager  to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
    1 - download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
    2 - click on the Add Library button and select the library you want to add in the selection window..
    3 - Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the Library ➙ Rebuild Library menu option.
    4 - In the next  window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
    5 - Click on the Create button.
    Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments.  However, books, calendars, cards and slideshows will be lost. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

    My old computer crashed and I had several redeemed movies on it. Is there any way to get them on to my new computer?

    Unless you have a backup copy or can use the drive from the old computer in an external enclosure, no.
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store - http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2519 - enabled with iTunes 10.3 and newer; not available in all countries; only apps, books (not audiobooks), music, and t.v. shows (not movies).  Discontinued items not available. For items not included in the iCloud list, or locations or computer systems where iCloud is not (yet?) available, you only get one download per fee paid.  Apple notes it is your responsibility to back up your purchases.

  • Is there any way to get my photos FROM my iPod Touch back onto a new hard drive?

    My Mac crashed last Friday. First timeIs there any way to get my photos FROM my iPod Touch back into my new hard drive. The iTunes sync only goes one way from the computer to the iPod.
    It syncs the photos taken with the iPod (really an old iPhone 3G without phone service) but not the folders which I synced from the old hard drive to the iPod over the past year.

    thank you for the tip.
    Yes, my computer was backed up. for reasons way too complicated to go into here, these particular folders were not part of the backup.
    Thanks again for the help.

    sure pretty simple.  make a backup of your current settings
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766?viewlocale=en_US
    then restore device from old backup you need pics off of
    then import pics to computer
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083
    you may need to save pics to camera roll first
    then restore the new backup and sync pics back to phone via itunes
