If I own more than one Mac, do I have to purchase lion for each one?

No... u can click on your purchases holding down the option key and it will allow you to download lion again
copy this from your applications folder to your other mac's application folder and just click install
that's what i did.
i also made a usb key of lion following these instructions...
using Lion DiskMaker

  • If I own a desktop iMac and a laptop MacBook Air, do I need to purchase Lion for each of them?

    If I own a desktop iMac and a MacBook Air, do I need to purchase Lion for each of them?

    No. You can install Lion on all machines under your control. BTW, to avoid wasting bandwidth, time, and electricity, when you first DL Lion, don't install it, quit the installer, and copy the Install Mac OS X Lion.app which is DL'd to /Applications to another location. The stupid, inane installer deletes itself as part of its installation process. Then, copy the saved version to the other machines. Do note that if you move the installer app from /Applications, you can install it, and it won't be deleted.

  • Why only 5gb space if owning more than one device?

    I own 3 iphones and 2 ipads. Why only 5gb icloud space? I feel a bit ripped off here!
    Each of these products should come with its own 5gb space.
    5 gb. Is only enough for backup of one device!
    Sure you can get 5gb space for each product if you create account for each product and then having to pay for apps for each product. Its a total ripoff:(
    Change this please.
    Forcing me to in some way pay 50 bucks extra a year for security backup space is not fair in any way. I would actually pay for extra space for pictures etc. If i did not feel that apple were trying to take even more money from my wallet:/

    -Use a separated Apple ID for each iPhone for iCloud, iMessage and FaceTime.
    -Use the current one for iTunes and App Stores. (This way you will pay ones for each app).
    -Export your Camera Roll to a Computer just like you do with a Digital Camera Card. (This way you will save space from iCloud and from devices.
    -Use one of these 3 account to sync your iPads with the account you want or make a 4th or 5th account if you don't want to sync iCloud data with one of you iPhones.
    Remind that you can add more than one iCloud account (secondary account) if you want to sync some data from iCloud. (For example you can sync your iPhone Contacts in your iPad even if you are using another iCloud account (primary) in this iPad).
    Also you can share a calendar between devices that using a different iCloud account.

  • Identify Supervisor if current Position has more than one A012-assignment

    Hello experts,
    I wonder if you could help me with this "challenge" please:
    Starting point is a non-vacant position that owns more than one A012-assignment.
    For example:
    Position-ID: 00000001
    01.01.2006     31.12.9999     A012     O     004712
    01.01.2007     31.12.9999     A012     O     004711*
    01.01.2006     31.12.9999     A008     P     101010
    *The second A012-assignment is needed because the person leads the O 004712 as well as O 004711 (general manager).
    If I am using the standard function RH_GET_LEADING_POSITION, I get a sy-subrc = 1 (which means that there was no leading position found). But there is a position owned by the supervisor of the person 101010 that should be determinated:
    O 004711
    ___S 00000002
    _____P 101020
    _______|O 004712
    _________S 00000001
    ____________P 101010
    If I delete the first A012-assignment of position 00000001 it works fine: P101020 is shown as Supervisor of P 101010.
    Does anyone know how to solve this problem, if there is more than one A012-assignment?
    Thanks in advance.

  • More than one ipod / iphone sync'ing

    If we own more than one ipod / iphone (two of each) how do we sync without getting each other's apps, etc.

    The issue here is Contacts - my 3000 contacts built over 14 (yes, 14) years on PDAs have been - merged?  - with my wife's and we each have both.  She has mine anyway and it is driving her nuts.  Is there a way to sort this out?  To clarify one step further - she broke iPhone, got new iPhone, and it was in syncing this new phone that she acquired my contacts.  So, her ORIGINAL iPhone is still listed as a device in iTunes and I wonder if (and suspect that) her isolated/original  contact list is still associated with that first iPhone.  So, how can I make her current phone be recognized instead as that old phone and back itself up with that old iphone's data (contacts)? Muchg appreciate your help here.

  • MORE THAN ONE DOMAIN NAME WITHIN MY MOBILEME ACCOUNT ?

    I own more than one domain name. Can Mobileme host more than one of them and keep them separate for viewers so that somebody logging in to website 1 does not also get the files etc for website 2 ?

    mrs green wrote:

    Welcome to the discussions, Mrs Green. MobileMe doesn't host domain names +per se+ — MobileMe accepts a re-direction of a domain name to its servers. MobileMe will accept only one domain name re-directed via CNAME, but can accept more re-directed domain names via "WebForwarding".
    ...and keep them separate for viewers so that somebody logging in to website 1 does not also get the files etc for website 2 ?

  • How can I set up more than one iCloud account on a single Mac?

    I just want to start with the very basics. My wife and I each have an iCloud account. We both want to check our iCloud e-mail in the Mail Application without user switching. Is this possible? How do we set it up? Is it also possible to each manager our own calendars (iCal) and contacts (Address Books) without user switching? Put aside all iTunes issues for now. Just worried about iCloud: two iCloud IDs. One Mac.

    Any one user account on the Mac can have more than one iCloud account signed into, but only the first one set up will sync Calendars and Contacts. You would probably be able to enter the second account's server details manually into the Mail application to that it would access both accounts: setup details here:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4864
    However the best way to do this is certainly for each of you to have your own user account on the Mac, setting up Fast User Switching to prevent having to keep logging in and out - then each account can set up the owner's iCloud account and do all the syncing and other facilities.

  • I want to use Back to my mac. When I try to turn it on, it says "Back to My Mac may be slow because more than one device on your network is providing network services.   Turn off NAT and DHCP on one of the devices and try again." How do I fix this?

    Not sure if I am doing this right. This is my first time in the support community.
    I imagine what I put in my heading was supposed to go in here.
    I want to use Back to my mac. When I try to turn it on, it says "Back to my mac may be slow because more than one device on your network is providing network services. Turn off NAT and DHCP on one of the devices and try again. See the documentation that came with your device for information about turning off network services"
    Does anyone know how I do this? I contacted my ISP (Telus in Canada) and they did not know anything (not that they usually do).

    Why do ISPs insist upon making things so difficult for their customers?
    If you cannot get them to understand that you would prefer to use your own router over their piece of cheap junk, perhaps the information in the following will be useful:
    http://keithbalomben.wordpress.com/2012/03/29/telus-actiontec-v1000h-hacks-and-i nformation/
    Scroll down to DHCP Settings
    You will need to log in with proper "technician" credentials. They are provided in the above link as
    Username: tech
    Password: t3lu5tv
    ... but these may or may not work. Try it, and if you cannot get anywhere at least now you know what to ask Telus to do in return for your business.

  • Can you have more than one account on a Mac for FaceTime?

    Several of us would like use FaceTime on the same Mac, can we set up more than one account on the Mac?

    Each user should have his or her own login account with its own files and settings, including FaceTime settings. There should be no problem.

  • Connecting more than one ipod to one mac computer

    Can anyone please advise me on how I can connect more than one ipod to just the one mac computer. I need to set up 3 ipods to work on the one mac computer but each with there own itunes library. thanks

    When the iPods belong to two users, there are a couple of recommended methods for using more than one iPod on a single computer. Method one is to have individual Mac or Windows user accounts which by definition would give you completely separate libraries. Each account has it's own iTunes folder, Library and iTunes Music folder and you load it with CDs etc just as you did with your original one. Each iPod can be set to update however the owner chooses, sync all, manual or sync specific playlists.
    Method two is to set your preferences so that either one or both iPods get updated with only certain playlists within one library. Have a look at this article and see what you think and go for whichever you feel suits your needs best: How To Use Multiple iPods with One Computer
    Another option when using a single library is to set one or both of the iPods to manual update: Managing content manually on iPod
    Choosing the update option "automatically update selected playlists only" (called Sync Music - Selected playlists in iTunes 7) allows you to create a playlist specifically for each iPod and drag the tracks you want into it. If you tire of the list and want to change it, you just add or remove the songs you don't want. The ones you take out out remain in the library to be used by the other iPod. Make your playlist a Smart playlist and limit the size to just below the advertised capacity of your iPod ( for example, around 3700MB for a 4GB or 1800MB for a 2GB Mini or Nano). You can read more about playlists at these links:

  • Can I put more than one user under one Apple ID account. I want to let other family members use imessage on their own Apple device. Or is there another way to get this end result?

    Can I put more than one user under one Apple ID account. I want to let other family members use imessage on their own Apple device. Or is there another way to get this end result?

    You can seach the net for solutions like this one http://appletvvpn.com/how-to-connect-apple-tv-2-to-vpn/ another idea is to use a PC as the control and fit that with a wireless card and set up a ad hoc wireless network that the Apple TV uses. 

  • Can I use a magic trackpad with more than one Mac at a time?

    I am attempting to pair a MTP with a second MacBook Pro.  So far I can't get system preferences to find the MTP.
    I am wondering whether the MTP can be paired with only one Mac at a time, and that this is why my MBP won't find it.
    The reason I am thinking this is because the little booklet that comes with the MTP says 'after you pair your MTP with a Mac, you can pair it again with a different Mac.  To do this, you first remove the existing pairing and then pair the trackpad again'.
    Can anyone advise, please?
    If it can be paired with more than one MBP at a time, any suggestions why my system preferences search for the MTP is not producing any results?
    Thanks

    Yes, your keyboard, mouse or trackpad can be paired with multiple Macs.  You can even have multiple keyboards, mice or trackpads paired with one Mac.  The caveat is that the device can only be connected to one Mac at a time.  The device can't be paired or connected with a Mac while it's currently connected to another.
    Pairing a device with 2 Macs will be troublesome if the Macs are located within 33 ft of each other.  The device will connect with the first available paired Mac and then unavailable to the second.   If the Macs are located outside the 10meter range, it's quite easy to power off the keyboard (forcing a disconnect) then walking the keyboard to Mac 2 and powering the keyboard on.   I do this with a keyboard from my iMac to a Mac Mini in another room.

  • How do I highlight more than one thing at a time on a Mac please

    how do I highlight more than one thing at a time on a Mac please

    Do you mean items in Finder?
    To highlight (select) a whole block of items :
    - click the top item you want
    - hold down Shift
    - click the bottom item you want
    The whole range from top to bottom will be highlighted
    To select random items :
    - click the first item
    - hold down the Command key
    - click any more items anywhere in the list
    Just the items you clicked will be highlighted
    This technique works also in apps like iTunes, iPhoto, etc.

  • HT2731 can i have more than one apple id on a computer? As when we go away we want to facetime from our macpro to our main mac at home and both are registered under the same apple ID. Thanks

    Can you have more than one apple id on a computer. We are going away and want to facetime from our macpro to the mac computer at home but both are registered under the same apple ID. What should we do ?

    I will share with you what I have done to manage this with my family.  While the solution isn't without flawes, it seems to do the trick.  First, you need to have one person who is managing the synching of everyone's devices.  In my family, I have three iphones, about to be four, and five ipads.  We all synch to the same apple ID to allow one another to take seemless advantage of our Itunes, which is on our Imac.  To synch individual music or video interests, we simply select which playlists we want and manually synch that way.  A couple of us use imatch and the cloud to make the entire library accessable as well.  With respect to the imessage, mail, contacts, etc. we each have a gmail account for our individual emails, contacts etc.  So for instance, my forth grade daughter has a gmail account that we choose to synch her contacts, calendar, etc to and then that is also the account where she receives her imessages from on her ipad and itouch. My son, who has an iphone and ipad, does the same thing, but under settings, he goes to imessage and checks his phone number and his email as his preferred way to receive imessages and texts.  My wife and I do the same thing.  To avoid having everyone see one anothers contracts etc, we only synch contacts from our individual email accounts.  Here is the downfall to this:  When you update your phone or add a new device, apple always wants to reset everyone's facetime and imessage settings and then low and behold we are all receiving imessages from one another's friends etc.  To work around this, I simply take each of their devices and go to their imessage settings and only check the email and phone numbers relative to their devices.  I dont' know is this is the best solution, but it seems to work for us.
