I bought a mac mini with Lion pre-installed. If I upgrade my mac mini to Mountain Lion, am I free to install Lion on my older macbook using the mini license?

I currently have two macs. A 2008 macbook which is running Snow Leopard, can run Lion, and cannot run Mountain Lion. I also have a mac mini which came with Lion pre-installed. I plan on upgrading my mini to Mountain Lion when it's available. After I upgrade, it seems like I should be able to install Lion on my macbook using the license that came with my mini.
I have found many articles about making a DVD or bootable USB drive to recover, or install Lion onto other macs. So, I am not tied to the mac app store. And I am not worried about how to install Lion onto the macbook.
I have also read a few discussions about upgrading using pre-installed Lion license. From what I've read, if someone buys Lion through the app store, they can install it on all of their macs. But, if they have a machine the came with Lion pre-installed they can only use Lion on one machine. However it is unclear if that license can be transferred to another machine.
Another common answer that I have seen is, "Don't be cheap! Just buy Lion throught the app store." This is not about money, I'm interested in the technical challange, and the leagal question.
Does anyone have experience with this, or opinions?

If your machine came with Lion preinstalled, you cannot use it on another machine. It is tied to the machine it came with. You are allowed to make a one time transfer of the OS when you sell the machine as long as it remains with that machine.
If you purchase Lion from the app store, you are free to install it on as many Macs as you own - however, if/when you sell one of those Macs, you are required to uninstall Lion as the license is not transferable and you need to reinstall the original OS.
You can read the SLA for yourself - the link to the downloads to all licenses is here:

MacBook Pro with Lion pre-installed. How to get installer?

Ok, so I purchased a shiny new MacBook Pro 15" yesterday, which came with Lion pre-installed.
I am planning to downgrade to Snow Leopard. Don't ask me why, I just don't want Lion at this time.
My question is: how do I get a Lion installer, which I can put away somewhere safe until I'm ready to upgrade to Lion again? My MBP came with a Lion license, so I shouldn't have to buy it again, right?
Any suggestions greatly appreciated!

No need to buy another license, all you have to do is create a Lion Recovery USB (perhaps 2 for safety)
1: USB 1+ GB formatted GUID OS X Extended Journaled in Disk Utility
2: Lion Recovery Disk Assistant > USB
https://support.apple.com/kb/dl1433
3: Optional: Carbon Copy Cloner your present Lion OS X partition to a external GUID OS X Extended drive, it's hold the option key bootable.
(hold option to boot from USB if you need it)

Computers with Java pre-installed

I am working with a customer looking to purchase a numnber oif PCs for a Java application and am looking for a list of namer brand computers that come with Java pre-installed. I know Dell pre-installs Java, but they are particularly interested in HP systems. Does anyone know of a comprehensive list of PC verndors who pre-install Java, and if not, if specifically HP pre-installs?
Thanks,
Greg

Thanks for the replies. I know it is easy to install, we are a Java developer, it's just a question from my customer. This sort of information should be made readily available by Sun.
Anyone have any idea about HP?

T61 with linux pre-installed in Ireland

I would very much like to buy a T61 but can only do so if linux is pre-installed, I could easily install it myself, but only by buying it with linux pre-installed could I dodge my employers commitment to dell: if I buy a windows computer it has to be a dell. So, is it possible to get a T61 in Ireland with linux pre-installed?

Did you go to the lenovo site and type "linux" into the search box? That provides some good results in the US site, I don't know about sweden.
P.S. watch the language if you want any more help.

My MacBook Pro came with Lion pre-installed so I can't re-download it from the app store. Is it possible to get the installESD.dmg file and how can I get it if I can't re-download Lion in Apple Store option?

FYI Mac OS X is not designed to be installed on additional Macs, unless you purchased it from the App Store, in which case you can make as many copies as you wish and install it on as many Macs as you own.
From the Recovery Disk Assistant -
Notes
If the computer shipped with OS X Lion or Mountain Lion, the external recovery drive may only be used with the system that created it.
If the system was upgraded to Lion or Mountain Lion purchased from the App Store, the external recovery drive can be used with other similarly-upgraded systems.

Problem with the pre-installed WEATHER application

Hi,
I was quite pleased with the Weather app that came installed with my iPod Touch. I tapped in my location, deleted the default one, and all was well. However, after working for a short while just fine it's not stuck constantly on a sunny 28 degrees. If I tap the icon the actual weather report is correct (a miserable gloomy 2 degrees, lol). It's just irritating me that it's stuck on the main screen. Any ideas?
I have updated to latest firmware and still no good. Can I delete the app at all? Can you delete pre-installed applications? I would try deleting and using a 3rd party app or something if I had to. I'm something of a tidyness freak and it annoys me having so many icons I will never use, haha. I would also like to delete the STOCKS app.
So in summary - Does anyone know what the problem with my weather app is? And can I delete pre-installed apps?
Thanks!!

Safari, YouTube, the iTunes WiFi Store, the App Store and the Camera can be removed from the home screen by enabling Restrictions (Settings->General->Restrictions). Manual, Page 95
The other original applications cannot be removed, only moved to another page.
The weather app icon is static 73°F for United States region format or 23°C for United Kingdom region format. Did you switch your region format?

How to make boot disk for MacBook Pro with Mavericks pre-installed

Hi -
I recently bought a new 15" MacBook Pro with Retina Display, which came pre-installed with Mavericks (10.9.0). I want to make a bootable USB disk of the system software, and have successfly used DiskMaker X (formerly Lion DiskMaker) to make the USB boot disks for Lion and Mountain Lion. In those cases, however, I was running earlier versions of the OSX, and downloaded the new OSX version -- Lion and Mountain Lion -- from the App Store in order to make to make the disk. In this case, however, Mavericks was pre-installed, and I was unable to download it from the App Store (an alert said that it couldn't be installed on this computer... presumably because it was already installed). I would apprecite any suggestions as to how I can create the boot disk without the ability to download Mavericks. Thanks very much for any help anyone can provide.
Shelly

Open App Store and locate the full installer download file (5.29 GBs) for 10.9.1. Download to your computer.
Make Your Own Mavericks, Mountain/Lion Installer
After downloading the installer you must first save the Install Mac OS X application. After the installer downloads DO NOT click on the Install button. Go to your Applications folder and make a copy of the installer. Move the copy into your Downloads folder. Now you can click on the Install button. You must do this because the installer deletes itself automatically when it finishes installing.
2. Get a USB flash drive that is at least 8 GBs. Prep this flash drive as follows:
Open Disk Utility in your Utilities folder.
After DU loads select your flash drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the leftside list. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the drive entry) from the left side list.
Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, check the button for Zero Data and click on OK to return to the Erase window.
Click on the Erase button. The format process can take up to an hour depending upon the flash drive size.
3. Use DiskMaker X to put your installer clone onto the USB flash drive.
Make your own Mavericks flash drive installer using the Mavericks tool:
You can also create a Mavericks flash drive installer via the Terminal. Mavericks has its own built-in installer maker you use via the Terminal:
You will need a freshly partitioned and formatted USB flash drive with at least 8GBs. Leave the name of the flash drive at the system default, "Untitled." Do not change this name. Open the Terminal in the Utilities folder. Copy this command line after the prompt in the Terminal's window:
sudo /Applications/Install\ OS\ X\ Mavericks.app/Contents/Resources/createinstallmedia --volume /Volumes/Untitled --applicationpath /Applications/Install\ OS\ X\ Mavericks.app --nointeraction
Press RETURN. Enter your admin password when prompted. It will not be echoed to the screen so be careful to enter it correctly. Press RETURN, again.
Wait for the process to complete which will take quite some time.

Issues printing with iPhoto after installing OS X 10.10.2

After working with 2nd and 3rd level Apple Support I was able to print photos using iPhoto after installing OS X 10.10.2. I have an HP 7520 all in one ePrinter and the latest Yosemite driver have been installed. When I tried to print a photo using iPhoto the application would hang and I had to force quit to continue. Apple support was able to identify the problem. The iPhoto application had an outstanding print job listed in the Recent heading on the left side of the screen, I do not know how this happened, but after clearing out this print job I was able to print from iPhoto. The Apple Support person said I could avoid this problem by hitting the cancel button located near the print button on the bottom of iPhoto, after any print activity had finished. He said this was a known problem when using iPhoto and Yosemite.

EW,
Kernel Panics here on the same model. My problems started after the recent Firmware Update for Airport and Airport Expresses (7.6). No other new software installed besides the Firmware Update and they are occurring daily.
I haven't seen any remedies yet....

Will all new macbook pro come with Lion pre-installed?

I will be purchasing a new MacBook Pro in the next couple of weeks. I presume it will come with OSX Lion pre-installed. I would prefer to have only Snow Leopard installed since I won't be upgrading my other Mac Pro immediately. Will it just be necessary to re-install the Snow Leopard and start from scratch?

It depends where you buy the mac also if you get a new macbook air it will most undoubtly have LION. But I would say it's safe to assume that most macbooks that have stayed on the shelves at these apple stores have not been opened and updated. So I would think that if you purchased a new mac today unless it was a macbook air it should only have Snow leopard installed on it and they should give you a code to redeem a copy of Lion.

New MacBook Pro with Retina pre-installed pages, keynote & numbers. Can I get them for free on my iMac?

I've just bought a new MacBook Pro Retina which comes pre installed with pages, keynote and numbers. If i want to get them on my iMac will i have to pay for them?

No, sign into the Mac App Store on your new computer with the same Apple ID and the Mac App Store should offer you the download at no cost in your Purchased apps section.
I guess the rub would be if you didn't have the apps pre-installed to the correct Apple ID account.

Do new iMac's come with iTunes pre-installed?

Is iTunes pre-installed on a new iMac (late 2012) running Mountain Lion? if so - which version?

iTunes comes in OS X, so iTunes is preinstalled on an iMac. Depending on the OS X version your iMac has got, it will have one or another iTunes version, but it should come with iTunes 10.7 or 11. Open Software Update to install the most recent iTunes version, iTunes 11.0.4, because your iMac won't come with the most recent iTunes version
