I installed lion on my imac, how do I install on my macbook?
First, your MacBook must meet the minimum system requirements for Lion. You need a core 2 duo processor or better. You need 2GB of RAM. You need at least 7GB of available disk space. You also need to be already running Snow Leopard (Mac OS X version 10.6.8 or later).
Once those requirements are met, go to the Mac App store on your MacBook and sign into it using the same Apple ID you used to purchase Lion for your iMac. Do a search for Lion and install it from the App store. There should be no further charge.
Best of luck.

I have downloaded lion on my imac, how do I install on my macbook?
If you purchased and downloaded Lion from the Appstore on the iMac, Sign into the MacApp store using the same AppleID on the Macbook. Look in the Purchased tab and it sould be available for download.
You'll need to have 10.6.8 on your macbook first as App store support isn't available on 10.5 -

How do I install lion on my macbook the same as my imacbook
Assuming the MacBook meets Lion's system requirements and has Mac OS X 10.6.6 or newer installed, the same way you installed it on the iMac, except that you won't be charged again. If you still have the installer, you can move it instead of downloading it again.

Music on iMac how to sync over to new MacBook Pro 15"
I want to sync over my music off my iMac to my MacBook Pro. I have a Belkin Firewire 800/400 9-pin to 6-pin cable. I used this cable to sync over info from my MacBook (3yrs old) to my iMac.
* I don't remember how I did this procedure. Plus I only want to put the music to this MacBook Pro, nothing else.
Not sure where to go to start the process, and to only check that I want the music.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks Valconnect the two Macs with the firewire cable, boot the source Mac in _*Target Disk Mode*_, and copy the entire iTunes folder (not just the iTunes music folder) from <MacintoshHD>/users/<yourname>/music on the source to <MacintoshHD>/users/<yourname>/music on the target (overwriting the iTunes folder in place there).

I purchased and installed Lion on my iMac. How do I install it on my MacBook without paying for it again?
You'll have to download again. You will not be charged if you use the same Apple ID.
Save the file somewhere before installing.

I have installed Lion on an iMac Core duo by mistake - how do I rectify..?
I have installed Lion on an iMac Core Duo, via firewire from an iMac i7.
The Core Duo now goes to grey screen, folder with "?", then the "prohibited" sign for a 30 secs and then turns off,
(I now realise Lion is 64bit and the core duo only supports 32bit...).
The core duo will chime but will not boot off the original install disk or mount as a fire wire target disk.
How do I wipe Lion and reinstall Leopard...?Sounds like hardware error.
Maybe the target-mode did something bad to the EFI, like fed it 210 proof "Everclear" ...
Try a diferent USB keyboard ...
Last resort for me before Genius Bar is either SMC Reset (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964) and/or PRAM reset (http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.7/en/mh26871.html).
I am out of ideas if the resets cannot bring back "C" boot. -
I just installed Mountain Lion on my iMac. But In was dismayed to find that my Canon scanner software (Canoscan LIDE500F)no longer works. Nor do any of my MS offce applications. I tried to use time machine to reinstall Snow Leopard (my previous operating system), but unfortunately my time machine backups did not include system software. Also, the original system install disk that came with my iMac would not allow me to install Snow Leopard in place of Mountain Lion. I would appreciate it if somebody could tell me how to solve this problem.
The reason your Office doesn't work is because it is PowerPC code. If you will upgrade the 2004 Office to 2011 Office then that will work.
I don't understand how you managed to get your Time Machine backup to not backup the system.
Now if you still what to downgrade you will have to erase the disk and reinstall Snow Leopard. Most likely all of your application and then restore your data from Time Machine.
To me it sounds like it would be easier to upgrade your software and stay with Mountain Lion instead.

Reinstall Apple software after clean install of Lion on 2009 IMac
Completed a clean install of Lion on 2009 IMac, which initially reacted poorly to an upgrade (my first attempt to move to Lion). How do I reinstall iPhoto, Garageband, Aperture, Final Cut Express, iMovie, Logic Express? These were all preinstalled with original purchase. How would I find the serial numbers that will inevitably be asked for? The App store wants to charge for these items, and other non-Apple software I've purchased for the App store won't download again. Multiple issues! Any suggestions?
You'll need to use the DVD's that should have accompanied your system when you bought it.
Prior to the App Store when you purchased a system from Apple that included installed software such as iLile or Final Cut the DVD's were always included in the box. The serial numbers will be on the DVD boxes or DVD's themselves.
regards
Concerning the App Store purchases if you long into the APp Store using the same Apple ID you used when you bought the software you should be able to download again without charge. At least this is how it works for Apple software don;t know if 3rd party stuff has different rules -
Last week i have instaled IOS Lion in my IMac. My IPhoto was in Portuguese now he is runnin in english. What can I do to solve this problem? I want him in portuguese. Thank you.
You are right, but how could i send it to Apple? when the phone company first replaced my iphone they had in stock alots of iphones and they just sent mine back to Apple and gave me a new one, so all i did is to give them my phone, but now how could i sent it to Apple? and i cant send it by myself, and the store wont do that, its a lost for them.. so sending it to Apple wasnt an option from the begining.
and for the record, i dont think the store where i bought it is an authorized shop.. its just a store who boughts phone's from Apple in a low price and sells it in much more money.. -
After installing Lion in my iMac, some formatted emails contain, in some sections of the text, rows of the letter A contained in boxes. See attachment.
In general theory, one now has the Edit button for their posts, until someone/anyone Replies to it. I've had Edit available for weeks, as opposed to the old forum's ~ 30 mins.
That, however, is in theory. I've posted, and immediately seen something that needed editing, only to find NO Replies, yet the Edit button is no longer available, only seconds later. Still, in that same thread, I'd have the Edit button from older posts, to which there had also been no Replies even after several days/weeks. Found one that had to be over a month old, and Edit was still there.
Do not know the why/how of this behavior. At first, I thought that maybe there WAS a Reply, that "ate" my Edit button, but had not Refreshed on my screen. Refresh still showed no Replies, just no Edit either. In those cases, I just Reply and mention the [Edit].
Also, it seems that the buttons get very scrambled at times, and Refresh does not always clear that up. I end up clicking where I "think" the right button should be and hope for the best. Seems that when the buttons do bunch up they can appear at random around the page, often three atop one another, and maybe one way the heck out in left-field.
While I'm on a role, it would be nice to be able to switch between Flattened and Threaded Views on the fly. Each has a use, and having to go to Options and then come back down to the thread is a very slow process. Jive is probably incapable of this, but I can dream.

I purchased Apple TV yesterday strictly to mirror my desktop to my TV. Now I find out my desktop is not supported? How can I mirror my iMac to my Apple TV? I am running Mountain Lion and the iMac is a 2.8 GHz with intel core 2 duo from early 2008.
Thanks for your help!You cannot officially do this Apple's way as they do not support your computer for Airplay.
There is a software solution called Airparrot that you may want to demo:

Some people are pleased with it othes not so much.
