  • Do I need to buy Lion for each computer of my house?

    Do I need to buy Lion every time I want to install it in the different computers of my house? We have 3 Macs with 2 different Apple IDs. The 2 ones with the same Apple ID, is it one purchase or do I need to buy Lion twice? Thanks!

    You can purchase Lion once and use it on as many Macs as you own and control. You will need to use one Apple ID at MAS for the purchase and also use that for any updates - MAS notes both the Apple ID as well as the machine ID.
    To make it easier, after the initial download, do not immediately install. Instead, dismiss the installer, and find it in the Applications folder - make a copy of it and put it in a safe location (external hard drive?). Then go ahead and install on Mac #1. When ready, copy the installer to the Applications folder of Mac #2 and install it there, etc.
    Also note: the license for Lion purchased at MAS is NOT transferable; if you sell one of your Macs, you are required to delete Lion and reinstall the original OS.

  • Two iPhones, can i have two icloud accounts when i use same iTunes for both? i have no storage on my first icloud

    I have two iPhones, a 4 and i just bought the 5. my iCloud storage of the 4 is full and i have the biggest storage. now i want to back up my new iphone 5 in the same icloud of the 4. i have no space. can i set up a new account even if i share laptops?

    Yes.  You can share the same ID for iTunes and create separate iCloud accounts with separate IDs.  If fact, that't the recommended approach for families. 
    You should also use separate IDs for iMessage and FaceTime to avoid getting each other's text messages and FaceTime calls.  Just use the same IDs you use for your iCloud accounts.  If you're sharing the same ID now for these services, one of you should go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive, tap the ID, sign out, then sign back in with a separate ID.  Then do the same thing in Settings>FaceTime.

  • To move to iCloud, do I need to buy Lion for all my computers

    To move to icloud, must I purchase Lion for each of my computers?

    You can get iCloud email on Snow Leopard 10.6

    BE WARNED!
    10.7 will not run a lot of your older software, especially PPC based programs and hardware drivers for third party printers and such.
    Some of this great older software can never be gotten again as some developers decided to bail when AppStore arrived, not interested in sharing 30% with Apple and being subjected to their many "changes" and control.
    10.6 has Rosetta and it run PPC based software, Rosetta is not on 10.7.
    DO YOUR RESEARCH BEFORE UPGRADING TO 10.7!!
    It can cost you more in software upgrades, RAM requirements, new external hardware and possibly slow down your machine(s) if they are dated.
    http://roaringapps.com/apps:table
    Since 10.8 is right around the corner you may decide to either upgrade directly to 10.8 (if offered, I suspect Apple will to avoid 2 downloads) or wait to get it on the newer faster hardware than can handle 10.8 better than your current hardware.
    My advice is if you have a Late 2010 or Early 2011 laptop you can upgrade to 10.7 no sweat, but anything earlier than that you may want to reconsider your options based upon your machines performance capability.
    Original 10.5 era machines, those with only 2GB of RAM (4GB really is needed) are especially vulnerable to 10.7 performance and other issues it appears.
    You may want to create a hold option key bootable clone of your present 10.6 install so it's easy to return to 10.6 if you don't like 10.7 or it slows down your machine, or software will no longer work.

  • I have two macs in my house.  One is newer and came with the os x mountain lion software and the other one needs to be upgraded.  I was wondering if there is a way to take upgrade from one to the other?  Should not have to buy this software again.

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    Buy it for the other computer. Mountain Lion is preinstalled on the new Mac, but you can only use it in the new one

  • We have two Mac laptops, does anybody know if you need to purchase the Lion upgrade for both?

    We have two Mac laptops in the household, does anybody know if you need to purchase the Lion upgrade for each?

    No. You only pay for Lion once and can then install it on all of your household Macs.
    Purchase Lion in the App Store using one of your Macs and the install button will appear for Lion under the Purchases tab when you open the App Store with your other Mac. The App Store will ask for your user name and password to install Lion but won't charge you for the second install. If you have more than one iTunes account use the one that you used to purchase Lion. All apps in the App Store work this way.

  • I have two "MACs" and Final Cut Pro 7. I need a license to use this same software on both "Macs" How do I get it?

    I have two "MACs" and Final Cut Pro 7.
    I need a license to use this same software on both "Macs"
    How do I get it?

    You don't. You can install the same copy of FCP-7 on two macs (as long as you own both macs). You can't operate both copies at the same time.

  • I have lost password to my network- I have two macs connected to it but need to find the password to connect my ipad2

  • I have two .mac addresses; how does this work in iCloud?

    This is not about consolidating Apple ID's... I think.
    When I got my first .mac address, I thought I picked a good one at the time. Later on, due to the peculiar spelling, I opted for an additonal (paid) address which I use every day. Now the first one (which is an Apple ID) contains my calendars, contacts, etc. I never use the email portion of it, again because of challenging spelling. The second .mac address (also an Apple ID) is an email only account. This is the email account I use daily.
    When I make the transition to iCloud, I intend to keep my original AppleID (from the pre-.mac days) as my iTunes store ID.
    My question is, what happens with my two other accounts?
    .mac #1 with the contacts and such would move to iCloud and sync everything there as it currently does with MobileMe. Since .mac #2 is an email only account, would I even need to bother moving it to iCloud (if that's even possible), or would I just keep using that as email only using the current mail settings on my iThingys and Mac? Does anyone know if .mac #2 will live on after MobileMe vanishes, or will I loose my daily and coveted .mac email at that time?
    I'm sure Apple has a good reason for not allowing us to just consolidate everything in one place, but I know there are many out there with a similar situation to mine.
    I've spent a good deal of time tonight searching the various threads and can't seem to find an answer to the two .mac email dilemma. My appologies if it's already been discussed.
    To sum up, I have one Apple ID that I use for iTunes and intend to keep as such. I have two .mac addresses which are also Apple ID's; one that syncs with MobileMe and one that is email only. I would like to use iCloud to sync what is currently on MobileMe, AND continue to use the simpler email address that I've been using for years.
    Am I screwed??
    Thanks in advance for your help, and Happy Holidays to all!!

    Migrate the account which contains your calendars, contacts etc. first, at http://me.com/move and set it up on your Mac and devices.
    http://www.apple.com/icloud/setup/mac.html
    Now migrate the email-only account in the same way. On a Mac you can add it in System Preferences>Mail, Contacts & Calendars - it won't sync anything but will be added to the accounts in Mail where you can then use the email in the normal way.
    I don't know what the equivalent process on an iOS device is; very likely you need to add it as an account in the Mail app.

  • I have two Macs.. how to install on both?

    I have two Macs.. how to install on both? Also.. does one need to do a clean install i.e reinstall op system from a clean HDD?

    Go to each mac and sign into the Mac app store with you apple ID. on the first one you will buy the app on the second one you will be able to just download it. Of course be sure to follow the licensing agreement.
    You don't need to reinstall the OS, you will want a clean install next month of the new OS which may mean re-downloading the FCPX software.

  • I have two PCs that I need to deauthorize so I can download tunes to my new laptop. Trouble is, they are both out of commission. Is there anyway I can deauthorize them remotely?

    I have two PCs that I need to deauthorize so I can download tunes to my new laptop. Trouble is, they are both out of commission. Is there anyway I can deauthorize them remotely?

    De-authorizing Computers (contributed by user John Galt)
    You can de-authorize individual computers, but only by using those computers. The only other option is to "de-authorize all" from your iTunes account.
      1. Open iTunes on a computer
      2. From the Store menu, select "View my Account..."
      3. Sign in with your Apple ID and password.
      4. Under "Computer Authorizations" select "De-authorize All".
      5. Authorize each computer you still have, as you may require.
    You may only do this once per year.
    After you "de-authorize all" your authorized computers, re-authorize each one as required.
    If you have de-authorized all computers and need to do it again, but your year has not elapsed, then contact: Apple - Support - iTunes - Contact Us.
    For more information on authorization and de-authorization: iTunes Store- Authorize or deauthorize your Mac or PC.

  • I have two macs running lion.

    I have two macs running lion. Can I wirelessly transfer files from one to the other or do I need to move files to a USB device? I thought therre was a mac program that did that.
    Thanks

    AirDrop is not necessary, it merely makes it more seemless.
    You can use simple file sharing over any Mac network:
    https://support.apple.com/kb/ht1549
    Note gigabit ethernet is fastest, Firewire 800 is next, then is Firewire 400, then is 802.11n, and 802.11g for networking. I would not have an 802.11b or 802.11a network unless you aren't anywhere within 1500 feet (500 meters) of someone who could sniff out your network, as wireless security at those speeds is easily breached.
    If you have Firewire 400 or 800 cables and the supported ports, Target Disk Mode is a lot easier to setup for moving files around:
