Is it possible to download lion on another mac

I am trying to download Mac OS X Lion on another mac with only downloading Lion once.

Yes you can install the same Lion Download to every Mac you own. After you download it, make a copy of it on an external drive or USB drive so you have a copy to install on the others and save on your Download Data limit.
Cheers

  • How is it possible to download Lion on a Macbook Air. I have the answer that "it can't be downloaded on this computer". I bought it with my previous MacBook and I would like to make DVD of it. Thank you.

    Check that your MBA meets the System Requirements for Lion..

  • Is it possible to download songs from another computer?

    I have a new ipod shuffle that i just got it recently. I dont have internet connection currently because I'm travelling. Is it possible to download songs from another computer. My main computer would be my laptop.

    Yes but it would probably overwrite the songs currently on your iPod when it syncs to the new computer.

    Open the Mac App Store on the other Mac and in the Quick Links sign into your account. See if the Mountain Lion purchase is among hidden apps in the iCloud area of your account info.

  • Is it possible to share networks with another mac (MacBook)?

    Is it possible to share networks with another mac (MacBook)?
    I want to be able to create a document on my computer and save it on both my MacBook Pro and another MacBook. Also, I want to be able to open documents saved only on the MacBook on my MacBook Pro. Is that possible on the same wirelss?
    Thank you!

    You would not want to use ad hoc networking if you also need to access the internet. I'm not even sure it is possible.
    How are you accessing the internet from these Macs now? If you have a wifi (or wired) network that you both access in your work location, you should be able to use File Sharing across that network, so you shouldn't need the ad hoc network.
    Some general observations:
    You'll need a plan for how to keep straight which Mac holds the most current version of a file. That should probably be to keep each file in only one place (your Mac, the other Mac, a local file server, a cloud server). Even in our home, with one person doing most of the file accessing, I find a central location works best for this; in my case, that's a desktop system that stays on all the time, but a disk attached to my AirPort Extreme base station, a Time Capsule, or a NAS would serve.
    If you make use of the portability of the MacBook[Pro]s to work in different locations, you'll also need a plan that includes that working away from the main work location. If you often work with common files while away from your main work location, a cloud solution may be best even with just two of you. Depending on the size of your files, one of the free cloud solutions may suffice; most offer paid expansion as your needs grow.

  • I downloaded Lion onto my Mac, and now cannot open or access any of my Microsoft word documents or Power Points. Is there a fix for this? I need my documents

    I downloaded Lion onto my Mac, and now cannot open or access any of my Microsoft word documents or Power Points. Is there a fix for this? I need my documents

    If it's because you were using Office 2004, the eight year old version of Office that was written when Intel processors were not used in Macs, then there will be no fix. Lion dropped support for PowerPC applications, as has been widely reported since Lion's release last August.
    You can upgrade Office 2004 to Office 2008 or Office 2011. You can use iWorks 2009 that can open Microsoft files. You can use a number of free applications that are also capable of working with Microsoft documents. You can go back to Snow Leopard, if you have a backup. Or, if you have an external drive or room to add a partition to your current drive, you can install Snow Leopard on it.
    Search these forums for more information. If this is your issue, it's been posted and answered several times a day since August 2011.

    Capetowncrooner I would recommend utilizing a different web browser or beginning the installation process within the Creative Cloud Desktop application.  You can find more details at Install and update apps - https://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/help/install-apps.html.

  • Installing Lion on another Mac

    I installed/installed Lion on my Mac before I knew I was supposed to retain the install file to install it on our other Mac.  So now, when I want to install it on the Mac my wife uses, how do I do that since she has a different Apple ID than me?  I'm guessing I simply use my Apple ID to download it onto her Mac, but wanted to ask first to be sure.  Thanks.

    No.  You only get additional free copies of Lion from the App Store if you first purchased a copy from the App Store.  Your MacBook Pro doesn't qualify because Lion came pre-installed.
    Hope this helps

  • I downloaded Lion for my Mac and now Firefox freezes whenever I try to open the NYTimes crossword site.

    I've been using Across Lite for years to do the NYTimes crossword puzzles. I just downloaded Lion to upgrade my Mac OS. I've downloaded the new version of Across Lite to fit with Lion, no problem. But when I go to the NYTimes crossword page, Firefox freezes. Sometimes it won't even open the page, sometimes it opens the page but then freezes. I haven't had this problem with any other site.

    hello, can you try to replicate this behaviour when you launch firefox in safe mode once? if not, maybe an addon is interfering here...

  • Can I download iPhoto from another Mac?

    Hi guys,
    I have an iMac running Mavericks, and also a MacBook Pro 2011. I accidentally deleted iPhoto on the iMac, and since iPhoto comes pre-installed, I have it on the MacBook Pro. Do you think it is a good idea for me to copy the .app file and place it in my Applications directory on the iMac?
    I just don't want there to be any problems if I do this.
    Thanks

    As long as you properly accepted the iLife apps into your Mac App Store account (you should see them with all the other apps in the Purchases list) when you first configured the new Mac, then there should be no issue copying the app to another Mac that you own or control.

  • Can't download Lion from the Mac App Store. It says the computer doesn't have the correct processor, yet it does.

    User error; didn't read correctly that it said "Intel Core Duo" for the 'About this Mac'.  All set, sorry!
    Message was edited by: anne234

    It would help if you provide all the error information. Sounds to me like you may not meet all the requirements:
    Lion System Requirements
    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.

  • Can you download and install Lion to another mac when you have lion server?

    I have Lion Server but I have another machine on Snow Leopard that I wish to upgrade to just plain Lion. Do I have to pay for this?
    I cannot seem to download it without having to pay.
    Cheers

    They are considered separate products so, yes, you need to pay.
    Hope this helps

  • Is it possible to download lion and not install it? (save for later?)

    I have just started the download, but after reading the reviews, and knowing that I have microsoft office 2004 which is not compatible, and it will be a while before I can buy the new microsoft packsge, I need to wait to install lion, as I need the microsoft for my school.
    Does anyone know if you have to install it right away, or can you keep it for later on?
    Thank you

    well, it has been 3 hours already and it is still downloading ... hopefully it doesn;t take all night !
    My download was about 3.5 hrs on a 10mbps cable modem.  (Averages about 9mbps for me.)  Many people with DSL will be slower.  In my area, DSL goes down to 1.5mbps for the "basic" package and so a Lion download was several hours for some people I know.
    Even if it does take "all night", the installer will pause at a "continue" button, which you can then cancel the install at that time.  So you don't have to watch the download continuously, if you're worried about that.
    ...I have seen a lot of bad press on these boards ...
    As someone once said elsewhere: these forums are like hospital emergency rooms.  You only see sick people here.  Those that are well and not having problems tend not to post "all is fine with me" and such.  While there are some legitimate issues with some people's upgrade, we just won't hear from the millions of others whose Lion upgrade went just fine.  And some of the "bad press" is people just not liking any of the changes to the way Lion does things.  (i.e.: Resume, reversed scrolling.)  To some, any change is bad and they immediately don't like it without seeing if new feature is actually is better or not.  Which I find ironic since if one really doesn't like change, why would one upgrade in the first place?

  • Download Lion without native mac app store.

    Hey Guys,
    I've got a 2011 mac mini server, it's currently got Windows server 2008 R2 installed on it.
    I'd like to run OSX Lion Server as a virtual machine. But I need a .iso (preferably) to be used to install the operating system.
    Because I didn't receive any installation discs with the mac, I dont have a copy up front.
    What's the easiest way for me to get an .iso of OSX Lion Server without needing to use the app store.
    (Currently it's not easy for me to be able to boot into OSX, because I have it set up as a remote machine and I only have windows installed).
    Thank you.

    First Lion Server is just an add on to Lion. So first you have to install Lion then buy Lion Server. The only way to buy Lion other then from the App store is to buy the Lion USB thumb drive.
    You can run Lion in a VM but first you have to have a copy of it. If your Mini came with Lion pre-installed you may be able to use the Lion Internet Recovery system to download it and save it.
