If I update with Lion on my Imac, do I have to buy it again to update my Macbook?

If I purchase the Lion upgrade online for my Imac, do I have to pay again to update my Macbook?

FuXian,
Just open the App Store on your Macbook, log in with your "Apple ID" and "Password" then go to the "Purchased" tab, and you should see Lion available for download.

  • Have to buy iPhoto again to update it?

    I just bought a new MacBook Pro that was delivered on 5/1 (with iPhoto 9.2.1) and the app store says there is an update for iPhoto to 9.2.3. But when I click update is says I have to buy iPhoto first.  I thought I just bought iPhoto as a part of the MacBook Pro. Do I really need to buy it again?

    Go to the App Store
    Click on the Purchases List
    Accept iPhoto
    Then you can update.

    You could've backed up your iPad prior to the "forced" upgrade which, by the way, you could have cancelled. iTunes doesn't upgrade your iPad, automatically, on its own. You had to click the Upgrade button to initiate the upgrade. You didn't have to do anything with that button. You can just leave it be.
    iOS 8 is garbage on iPad 2 and 3 and even though iTunes keeps giving me the Update button option, I continually choose to ignore it.
    Ignoring the Upgrade/Update button doesn't affect the normal iTunes/iDevice syncing/backing up operations.
    You could've just left that button alone.
    When was the last time you backed up your iPad?
    While there is no way way to revert to a previous iOS version once you upgrade your iDevices iOS, iTunes saves multiple backups of your iDevice and if you backed up your iPad previously to this latest activity, you should be able to restore your iPad from an older  backup that should appear by date when  you plug your iDevice into your Mac, was for iTunes to launch and sync your iPad, then cancel the backup in progress and use the Restore function in iTunes to restore your iDevice from another previous backup version date.
    If your current version of iTunes doesn't recognize your iPad2 under iOS 8, you need to check the iTunes update feature, in iTunes or in OS X Software Update feature in OS X Preferences panel to see if there is a iTunes update available for OS X 10.6.8 Snow Leopard.

  • Is there a fix yet for the no sound problem with lion on the iMac without having to restart every time I switch the computer on?

    Is there a fix yet for the no sound problem with lion on the iMac without having to restart every time I switch the computer on?

    Try booting in Safe Mode by holding the the shift key immediately after powering on your system. Safe boot mode will for a directory check of your startup volume, then load only the required kernal extensions (kext files), and deletes some cache files. Once the system boots into Safe Mode you can simply restart the system to see whether the issue has been resolved.
    If you still have the issue try resetting the SMC by shutting down the system and disconnecting the power cord for ~15 seconds, then reconnecting the power cord. Next, reset the parameter RAM (PRAM) by holding down the option-option-P-R keys after powering ON the system. Wait until the iMac restarts twice, then let the system boot normally.

  • I have two macs ( macbook and Imac) do i have to buy Lion twice if I want to update  both computers?

    Hi there,
    I was just thinking about updating my comuputers 9 macbook pro and Imac) to OS X Lion but am unsure whether I have to buy it twice.

    No, when you download it, save the installer in the Applications folder before you install it.
    You can also re-download it from AppStore

  • Iam trying to buy OS Lion to my Imac but i can not buy  because its saying Mac OSX 10.7 requires at least 2 GB of memomie and mine has 1 GB what can i do?

    iam trying to buy OS Lion to my Imac but i can not buy  because its saying Mac OSX 10.7 requires at least 2 GB of memomie and mine has 1 GB what can i do?

    If it's just a question of memory, you can buy and install more. It could also be that your iMac is just not compatile with Lion.
    Minimum requirements for Lion are:
    Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7, or Xeon processor
    2GB of memory
    OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
    7GB of available space
    Some features require an Apple ID; terms apply.

    I brought a macbook air 11 inch mid 2013 since i have updated mountain lion it shuts down automatically I have done SMC reset still I have the same issue... any suggestions??/

    the thing is that when i did the clean install they did check with a hardware test first and nothing was wrong, i guess it was a false-positive, is there anything in the kernel report from which i can say it's either hardware or software related

  • My MAC mini looses the wi-fi connection to a Belkin N wireless router when it goes to sleep or shut down.  I have to re select the network when restarting or waking the computer up.  I think this just started with Lion.  My iPod and iPad  have no trouble.

    My MAC MINI looses the wi-fi connection to a Belkin N wireless router when it goes to sleep or shuts down.  I have to re select the network when re starting or waking up the computer.  I think this just started with LION.  My iPod and iPad have no problem remembering the wireless network.

    Thank you BGreg.  That is what I have been doing, and then it works just fine.  I think it was doing the same thing in the previous version of Lion.  I may be incorrect about that.  I upgraded to 10.7.3 a few weeks ago, and then last week I reloaded the combo update, hoping it would help.  Not so.  Thank you for letting me know it is a common problem.  I have tried permissions in Disk Utilities, and in Macaroni, both at least 4 times, plus numerous restarts.  Nothing Improves.  It still can not find the internet when it wakes up or gets up.

  • I downloaded Lion from the app store on to my iMac and did not save it to a thumb before installing.  Do I have to buy it again to install on my Macbook Pro and iPad or is there another way to do that?

    I downloaded Lion from the App Store on to my iMac and did not save it to a thumb before installing.  Do I have to buy it again to install  it on my Macbook Pro and iPad,  or is there another way to do that?
    All my electronics are about a year old.   iPad is Model MB293LL (4.2.1) only wi-fi - no phone.
    MacBook Pro is  OSX 10.6.8 Build 10K549.  Also have an AT&T iPhone that I basically use as a Palm, since I changed carriers.
    Thank you for your help. 
    ps: I got an error message and it looks like this did not get posted the first time.  2nd try.

    Open the Mac App Store on your MacBook Pro
    Hold the Option key and click on “Purchases”
    Hold the Option key and click on “OS X Lion” from the purchased app list
    “Installed’ should now say “Install” which allows you to download OS X Lion.
    This assumes you are using the same Apple ID on both computers.
    Lion does not get installed on an iPad. It runs iOS.

    It may be that if you already bought the iPad versions using your iTunes account, you get a discount on the Mac versions? (That's just a guess - it applies with FileMaker, but I don't know if it does with iWork).
    There is no discount for one version of the iWork apps due to owning the other version.

  • I have three iMacs - do i have to buy a copy of mountain lion for each?

    I have three iMacs - do i have to buy a copy of mountain lion for each?

    What Russa is saying is that if you don't save "Install OS X Mountain Lion.app" before you install you'll need to download it again each time. It's important to save it before you install because it self-destructs after restart.
