I have two computers to upgrade to mountain lion. Do I have to buy it twice?

I have laptop and Mac. Do I have to buy Mt Lion twice?

If you purchase Mountain Lion from the App Store, then you can re-download and install it on as many computers as you own at no additional charge.

    About TM "Backup Drive is Full"
    Alert TM only deletes older files if they have been deleted from the source and when TM needs space on the backup drive for a new incremental backup. Time Machine "thins" it's backups; hourly backups over 24 hours old, except the first of the day; those "daily" backups over 30 days old, except the first of the week. The weeklies are kept as long as there's room.
    So, how long a backup file remains depends on how long it was on your Mac before being deleted, assuming you do at least one backup per day. If it was there for at least 24 hours, it will be kept for at least a month. If it was there for at least a week, it will be kept as long as there's room.
    Note, that on a Time Capsule the sparsebundle grows in size as needed, but doesn't shrink. Thus, from the user's view of the TC it appears that no space has been freed, although there may be space in the sparsebundle.
    Once TM has found it cannot free up enough space for a new backup it reports the disk is full. You can either erase the backup drive and start your backups anew or replace the drive with a larger drive.

  • Is there going to be a firmware upgrade for mountain lion customers that have a Macbook with a soild state drive so we can use the Power Nap feature?

    Is there going to be a firmware upgrade for mountain lion customers that have a Macbook with a soild state drive so we can use the Power Nap feature?

    here: http://www.apple.com/osx/whats-new/
    "Power Nap requires a Mac notebook with built-in flash storage. May require a firmware update."
    We have to wait for the Firmware-Updates. Some are already here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5394
    And I am shure, that you will need for Power Nap one of the newer Macs with SSD from 2011 and 2012.

  • Why do I have two calendars in Calendar in Mountain Lion?

    I need your help. I have two calendars linked to my iCloud account to the same email address. I tried to delete each one separately, but each time got a pop up dialogue box that I need at least one account associated with iCloud so both seem to be the "main" calendar for my iCloud account. I recently upgraded to Mountain Lion and do not recall whether this problem existed before or after Mountain Lion, or before or after my switch from MobileMe to iCloud. Any ideas? I would appreciate any insight you might have. Thanks.

    If you have Time Capsule, you may find you have two identical back up drives one which you can eliminate and one which you can use.  I eliminated the one which allowed me to and selected the other (after rebooting Time Capsule) then reconnected to the one which would let me use it.  I then shut down ( rather than restart) and was able to back up again.  When I checked my Systen Preference under Time Machine and looked at the backup disks the duplicate was back.  A call to Apple second level support and I was told this was a known Mountain Line issue ( but nothing about when it would be fixed.  Oh, I also have duplicate Calendar entries.  Call for a workaround if you can't live with it until they fix Mountain Lion.

  • I upgraded to Mountain Lion.Now I have trouble waking it up from sleep mode. Why?

    I upgraded to Mountain Lion on my MacBook. I am now having trouble waking it up from sleep mode. Does anyone know why or how to wake it up. I try tapping the space bar, trackpad & other keys. Sometimes I think it's never going to wake up.

    I'm not certain but my new MBA 13...when in sleep mode comes back on from a black screen when I simply click on the left mouse button. Also, one time I did a SECURE EMPTY TRASH on files that totalled more than 1GB and it took so long that the fan kept increasing in speed so I pressed on the POWER button and the MBA shut...I was able to boot up with no problem. As a rule, I now only do secured erases for trash bin data totalling 500mb or less...anything above that gets a regular erase (dump).

  • When i upgrade to mountain lion, do i have to back up my computer or will all my stuff still be there after the upgrade?

    Sorry i'm a moron, but i just want to know if i were to upgrade to mountain lion do i need to back-up all of my fles or will it just upgrade and transfer over. when i bought my imac i had it come with apps already installed and i dont want to lose them with an upgrade, but i am SO READY for an upgrade. any help or thoughts would be very appreciated..

    You need to do both; the upgrade won't itself delete the files, but problems are likely to occur during it, and drives can fail.

  • I am using lion and wonder if I upgrade to mountain lion, will I have to purchase iWorks

    Please, someone address this issue.  I wonder if I upgrade from Lion to Mountain Lion, will my applications work such as iWorks '09.
    I just purchased an iPad 2 and I understand that if I upgrade from Lion to Mountain Lion that I will be able to integrete the two better.
    Thanks so much for any input.  I have spent hours trying to find out this information on FAQs, support questions etc. on Apple.ca and
    frankly, I am getting very frustrated.
    PS - I just purchased the upgrade from Snow Leopard to Lion not even a year ago and here I am again.  Don't know what to do.

  • Help!!! Just upgraded to Mountain Lion and I have a kernel panic!

    Upgraded my MacBook Pro 15" from Lion to Mountain Lion and I get the following kernel panic at each restart:

    Ok, ressetting the PRAM did the trick for me. I should have read a similar thread about a kernel panic after installing Mountain Lion (https://discussions.apple.com/message/19020046#19020046) :-(
    It's now installing the OS. Crossing my fingers!

  • I am currently running Leopard (10.5.8) on my late 2008 iMAC.  I want to upgrade to Mountain Lion and I have been informed that I must first upgrade to Snow Leopard first.  What operating issues could I face after doing this?

    Based on user issues I am reading should I even attempt this.  One of my reasons of wanting to upgrade is to have the ability to upgrade to newer versions of certain programs such as Lightroom and Adobe Photoshop.

    I've upgraded several Mac from 10.5 to 10.6 and all the installations were trouble-free. However, in an abundance of caution, back up before you start upgrading.
    RAM: Most 2008 iMac shipped with 2GB RAM. Your iMac 2008 can use up to 4GB RAM "officially" and up to 6GB with memory modules introduced since Apple's offical specs were engraved in stone. Although 10.6 may do ±OK with 2GB, I suspect Photoshop is glomming on to all you have. Lion10.7 will just barely work with 2GB and 10.8 Mtn Lion may slow to a crawl.
    I get all my RAM upgrades here:
    http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/memory/iMac/Intel_Core_2_Duo_PC2-6400
    Never had a problem with any of their RAM and I've been getting it from them for over a decade--and we have 18 Macs in the family!

  • I have OS X 10.6.8 Can and should i upgrade to mountain lion?

    Upgrading to Mountain Lion
    To upgrade to Mountain Lion you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 or Lion installed. Purchase and download Mountain Lion from the App Store. Sign in using your Apple ID. Mountain Lion is $19.99 plus tax. The file is quite large, over 4 GBs, so allow some time to download. It would be preferable to use Ethernet because it is nearly four times faster than wireless.

    We can't tell you what to do. Go to Apple's website and inform yourself of Mountain Lion's features to determine if it would benefit you to upgrade. Upgrading isn't mandatory nor always the best thing to do. If Snow Leopard serves all your needs well, then there is no need to upgrade unless you want certain features that would require upgrading. For example, if you want to use iCloud, then you have to upgrade because iCloud is not available for Snow Leopard.
