Is this legal? if so, is it difficult?

I recently bought a new iMac w/OS X 10.5.5. Am I allowed to install that OS on my MacBook Pro running 10.4.11 or would I need to buy an upgrade? I know some software applications have allowed me to install apps on both computers. At age 60, I'm not going to start doing anything illegal! If I'm permitted to do the install, where would I find out how to do it? (I searched this discussion and couldn't find a specific answer.) thanks, Mike

no you can't do this for two reasons. It's against user license agreement and it simply won't work. the install disks that come with new macs are hardware specific and won't work with any other macs. you need to buy a retail version of leopard if you want to install it on your MBP.

I used a GarageBand loop in a video I made for youtube. I want to submit this video for revenue. First, is this legal? Second, youtube requires written permission to use songs, and provides a comment box for proof of permission. What do I put in this box?

I used a GarageBand loop in a video I made for youtube. I want to submit this video for revenue. First, is this legal? Second, youtube requires written permission to use songs, and provides a comment box for proof of permission. What do I put in this box to prove It's ok for me to make ad revenue from my video?

Yes, you can use GarageBand loops for commercial purposes. Here's the Apple Doc:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2931
(Basically the only thing it excludes is to re-distribute the loops as loops.)
I don't know about the YouTube form, maybe you just fill in "Apple Loops", they certainly have come across this before.

"This channel is having temporary technical difficulties" Digital Adapter

Hi, I have recently received my digital adapters in the mail and in order to install these on the other tvs, I have used splitters on the Coax cable that plugs into the STB we had previously installed in the living room. After this i had one coax into the STB and another into one of the digital adapters. For some reason, the living room one is working, but the basement one we just tried to install is not working and is getting the message "This channel is having temporary technical difficulties." It might also be important to note that this setup did work for alittle then stopped working. I have tried reactivating and resetting the digital adapter, none of these worked. Does anyone know any possible solution? thank you

Yep, after signing up last night and testing the online player successfully earlier, it comes to the game now and all I am getting is either an error message or I am just being 'logged out' and bombed back to a log in screen again!

License: Is this legal/kosher?

One of the companies I do work for has an XServe G5 with 10.4 Server installed. It runs AFP, iChat, NFS, Web, and Windows services. They want to move some of those services onto another machine for performance reasons.
Is it legal/kosher to install their 10.4 Server license onto a second machine, without a duplication of services? IOW, if I were to have the XServe running AFP and Windows services, and move all the other services onto a second computer (e.g., a mirror door G4), would that be a license violation?
My gut instinct says that it would but I would like to make sure.

It's not possible to do this legally.
If puchase cost is an issue, the company might consider purchasing a 10-user version of OSX server. The 10-user limit applies only to simultaneous AFP connections. So, for load distribution the 10-user version could be made an Open Directory replica and serve iChat, NFS, Web, VPN, routing, DNS, DHCP, as well as providing a 'hot' backup for all the directory information.

Is this legal? (Copying Entire iTunes Library)

Hi
I know how to do it, but want to know if this is legal. I'm going on a long haul flight next week and want to copy my entire itunes library to my Macbook Pro then delete all the music and just keep the TV Shows and Movies for watching on route, is this legal?
Thanks

Hello there,
So you are talking about just moving your library over to a new computer? If so, then yes, it is legal. Nothing wrong with that. People do it all the time.
As long as you aren't copying it to somebody else's computer for them to have or keep.

I hear a lot about jailbreak, is this legal, and how will this affect my iPhone?

Do noy buy yourself a world of trouble. This forum will refuse to answer "Why is my JB phone not connecting to internet?????" And his "help" post was removed. The facts about Apple's official position are clear, for those who want Apple's continued support. John does not like it, but not liking it never made something untrue.

Countries and Purchasing - is this legal?

I was looking at the soundtrack for Blood and Chocolate because I was wanting to buy "Stand My Ground," a song by a group called Within Temptation.
Anyhow, iTunes U.S. doesn't have it.
But iTunes Netherlands does, and one guy suggested we go buy the song in the Netherlands. Even if this is possible, it seems a little fishy to me.
I really want this song, I've requested the artist several times, and I will pay iTunes for it. The question is: is this legal? If it isn't, should I report this to Apple?
Thank you,

It's not fishy, you just can't do it.
You need a credit card with a billing aqddress in the country you are trying to use the iTunes store in.

OEM Software....Is this Legal

I want to purchase DreamWeaver8 to do a Web site for a
non-profit agency. I want to make sure that the software I buy is
legal. I will not be charging the non-profit agency for developing
their site. I found a place on-line called ClubMx.com that offers
OEM DreamWeaver8 for a very low price. I'm sure it is too good to
be true. Is it legal to sell OEM software?

It's a case of too good to be true, don't do it.

Only 1 year warranty for my macbookpro, is this legal in germany?

Hi,
I bought my macbook pro 15month ago and now I found out that I got only 1 year warranty.
In germany 2 years of warranty is the normal case I know well from other technical goods.
Does anybody know if it's legal to sell goods with only one year of warranty in germany?
Many thanks in advance,
Thorsten

Queston, is this legal?

i acn hack into the ipod and take the songs (bought)and unprotect them, edit them, and save them. is it legal?

If you are taking about iTunes purchases, unfortunately discussing this subject is not permitted on Apple's forums as the recently updated Apple Discussions User Agreement now clearly states.
Under item 2, para 8.2 it says "Do not submit software or descriptions of processes that break or otherwise ‘work around’ digital rights management software or hardware. This includes conversations about ‘ripping’ DVDs or working around FairPlay software used on the iTunes Store."

IS THIS LEGAL?? Original Creditor listed as the Debt Collector instead of Capital One!!

I just checked Quizzle and I know that the scores are FAKO scores, but I was really checking the credit reports. I had to fill out a form to send in for my husband's and my reports as they will not allow us to pull online. Anyway I found this!
Is is legal for Capital One to list PR as the original creditor??? We never signed any paperwork with PR!! They are the debt collector on my and my husband's reports!!

I would speculate that it is an error on the part of the party who produced the credit report rather than an inaccuracy of reporting to your credit file. The substance is unaltered... you have one OC and one debt collector.Assertion of "illegality" would be based on an assertion that they have intentionally misreported inaccurate information.I see no basis for making such an assertion.

Is this legal or could I get sued

If I see a board game would it be legal for me to program it on the computer in java and distribute it on the internet not for money. I don't want to get sued.

I'm not a lawyer, but I would guess that no, it is not legal. Somebody (probably the company that distributes the game, but maybe somebody they license from) almost certainly holds the copyright on the game, and whether you do it for money or not, you're not allowed to create derivative works without permission from the copyright holder.
I think copyrights expire after 25 or 50 years, so if it's and old enough game, it might be in the public domain.
You'll definitely want legal counsel before you go through with this.

Local MacStore won't cover Applecare Protection for Ipod!!!! is this legal?

Today I went to my local MacStore wanting to buy the Applecare Protection for Ipod, and they told they didn't sell it. So I asked..."ok I can still buy it from apple.com and you guys provide the service right?"....and for my surprise I got this for an answer: "No, we don't sell it, we don't provide service for AppleCare for Ipod. We only cover the 1 year warranty".
I thought the warranty was global!!, is this even legal?!!?
Panama City, MacStore.
Ipod white 30Gb Windows XP

What is MacStore?
Wops, that's the Apple retail store name.
There are no retail Apple stores in Panama City.
Yes, there are. They don't show on apple's english listing but they do show on latin america's "find a reseller" listing.
If it
does not, you can send it in. Apple Retail stores
may exchange it.
So, the retail stores are free to deny any applecare warranty claims. I'll have to deal with Apple directly after my 1 year warranty?
Thanks for your time.

Developers question, is this legal?

wasnt really sure where this goes so i'm posting here. ok so i want to make a program, that is sort of like ipod and itunes utilities, stuff like that, is it legal to include ipod firmware files in the program, so people can downgrade ipods. or is it not legal? do i have to give credit to apple?
thanks

hi Evan,
not sure,
iPod firmware is legally the property of Apple, however if you give them credit that your using their code, then i don't think it will be a problem.
DO NOT SELL IT!
as this is a violation of Apple's software liscence agrement.
regards,
Pete.
