Loading Lion on iMac and laptop

I just downloaded Lion on my iMac today and now I am trying to load it on my laptop.
I went to the App Store and clicked on Purchased.  I click on the Install button and
enter my Apple ID.  Then it asks for my Apple ID a second time and asks for my
credit card information.  I already paid for Lion so I shouldn't have to pay for it a second
time.  I tried deauthorizing and reauthorizing my laptop and it still does the same thing.
How do I get Lion on my laptop without paying for it a second time.
Thanks.
Mark

This happened today after installing Lion from the App Store

  • I'm a new potential FCP X user.  Can I buy software to load onto my imac and macbook pro or is FCP X only available as a download?  I'd like to be able to edit on the road.

    I'm a new potential FCP X user.  Can I buy software to load onto my imac and macbook pro or is FCP X only available as a download?  I'd like to be able to edit on the road as well as at home.

    Here's a short tutorial video about how to move back and forth between your base computer and the on-the-go machine.  Very important info about which things can be copied within Finder and which things MUST be copied from within FCP X.  Best wishes.

  • Since installing lion my iMac and powebook can't find my printer

    since installing lion my iMac and macbook pro can't find my printer (it is on the supported devices list and I downloaded the latest drivers).
    I called canon and they stepped me through reseting my print system and reinstalling the print drivers and libraries but I have tried direct USB and via airport and the computers dont recognise the printer anymore. Just to be sure it was not the printer I tried to print from my iphone and that works...
    I have changed the usb cable, changed usb ports and nothing can get the computers to recognise the device. Please help all advice welcome!

    :-) here's an interesting link http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3669#canon
    Note: If you've haven't used Software Update recently on your Mac, please run it before connecting a printer or scanner to update your Mac's database on what software is available.
    I would also do this after you plug in your printer. Apple might have updates for your printer.
    there is Canon Software for lion. try uninstalling everything and starting from 0.

    I also read that if your printer shows up in your printer list before the appropriate drivers are installed, it might mess things up, if you plug in your printer and see it after cleaning everything you had done previously off, then try removing it from the printer list (don't just unplug it, delete the profile). And then install the appropriate drivers.

    Hi chubb,
    Thank you for posting on the Adobe forums, certainly you can install it on both the systems. However, both should not be used at the same time.

  • I have just updated my hard drive in my 15" MBP. I then loaded lion over Internet and then restored from my old HD. Now the MBP will not boot! Have I stuffed it?

    HI, help! I have just replaced my hard rive in my 15" MBP.I have loaded lion back via Internet . I then restored from my old hard drive. Now the MBP won't boot, where as before I restored it was operating perfectly just with out my data only icloud data. Can I erase, my restore? Will I ever see my data again?

    What do you see on the screen when it doesn't boot??
    Gray, Blue or White screen at boot, w/spinner/progress bar
    or
    Folder with question mark issue?
    How did you restore from your old hard drive?
    Technically all that was needed was to use Migration Assistant on the fresh OS X install to migrate users accounts and programs to the new machine.
    You can use a SATA to USB adapter to connect the old drive if you want to go that way and start over with a fresh install again on the new drive.

  • Auto sync imac and laptop

    I have both a imac and powerbook.
    I often work remotely from the powerbook and need my files
    to auto sync with the imac and vise versa with the most recent files.
    I have heard of 'chrono sync' but am wondering if there is a way
    to do this via thuderbolt cable via Carbon Copy Cloner?

  • OSX Lion for Imac and macbook

    Is it possible to install OSX Lion also on my macbook after installing it on my iMac? I bought a license and wonder if it's also possible to install it on my laptop as well...
    THNX!

    Yes, you can pay for it once and legally install it on other Macs that are registered to you.
    When you download it the installer is placed in your Applications folder - make a copy of it or copy it across to your other machine before running the installer because once you successfully run the installer it deletes itself. It'll save you having to download it again.
    When you install it on the second machine you may be prompted to log-in to your Mac App Store account, but you won't have to pay a second time.

  • Wireless connection between cable imac and laptop Windows,

    This should be an easy question so here goes. I currently have an Imac with a cable connection. I plan to buy a Windows laptop within the next week. I want to be able to access the internet with the laptop from another room. There are airports and routers from Apple and wireless network cards for Windows. I'm confused. What's the simplest way for my Mac to wirlessly connect to the Window's laptop so that I can access the web from another room?

    1. Your new laptop needs to have a wireless card.
    2. You then need a wireless router with several lan ports.
    The iMac will connect to the router via ethernet cable to one of the lan ports and your laptop should connect via the wireless connection. There are many wireless routers out there that will do the job. Check out the Linksys wrt54g. make sure your laptop comes with a wireless card built it.

  • Downloaded Lion on IMac and lost Mozilla E-mail & address book & Thunderbird only has a few of my E-mails & a few addresses

    After I downloaded Lion, I tried to use my Mozilla E-mail and it
    said it could no longer be supported by Lion. It would not open at all. I downloaded Thunderbird and it only had a few old E-mails
    showing & several new ones, but Drafts, and sent were empty.
    The address book only had 12 in it and all the rest were missing.
    I'm connected to DSL by Turner Cable but I don't use Roadrunner
    E-mail but use Bigplanet as my E-mail provider. I can't figure out how to recover my E-mail and addresses.

    This forum is for Firefox as your question is about Thunderbird.

  • After loading Lion on my laptop, iTunes is trying to start automatically all the time.  Problem does not occur on desktop with Lion.

    I recently loaded Lion on both my laptop and desktop.  On the laptop only, iTunes is now trying to load automatically literallly all the time!  What can I do to stop the madness???

    The only way to reinstall Safari on a Mac running v10.7 Lion is to restore OS X using OS X Recovery
    Instead of restoring OS X in order to reinstall Safari, try troubleshooting extensions.
    From the Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Extensions tab. Turn that OFF, quit and relaunch Safari to test.
    If that helped, turn one extension on then quit and relaunch Safari to test until you find the incompatible extension then click uninstall.
    If it's not an extensions issue, try troubleshooting third party plug-ins.
    Back to Safari > Preferences. This time select the Security tab. Deselect:  Allow plug-ins. Quit and relaunch Safari to test.
    If that made a difference, instructions for troubleshooting plugins here.
    If it's not an extension or plug-in issue, delete the cache.
    Open a Finder window. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
    Type or copy paste the following
    ~/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari/Cache.db
    Click Go then move the Cache.db file to the Trash.
    Quit and relaunch Safari to test.

  • Workflow question - IMAC and MacPro combination

    Hi
    QUESTION: what is the simplest workflow to pass an FCP project created on a laptop in the field to the home base desktop?
    BACKGROUND: FCP allows a licensed user to have FCP installed on a desktop and a laptop - as long as only one is hooked to the internet. I've used this set up to capture footage on the laptop in the field and do some simple editing. Right now, I don't have enough Gigabytes on the laptop to store hi-def files. So I just purchased a G-TECH 200GB mini hard-drive, which works slick with the laptop.
    When I'm on the road, shooting, I want the ability to do some editing before I get back to home base. I can do that with the laptop and mini setup. However, I'm not sure how to set up the FCP video file structure on the IMAC and LAPTOP so that I can pass an FCP project to the IMAC and have it fetch the project without getting 100 error message that needed footage, files etc.. is offline.
    I'm thinking about firewire chaining my LaCie hard drives AND the G-Tech and then setting the video structure for FCP exactly the same on both the IMAC and Laptop. I would think that the laptop - when in the field - will not find the LaCie's and will dump everything and retrieve from the G-TECH mini hard-drive. Then, when at home, I pass the laptop FCP project to the Imac (with the mini now on the IMAC hard-drive chain).
    That seems like a work-around. Is there a correct and standard workflow for this situation?

    More like as long as only one is used at a time.
    Anyway, When you capture FCP should store all your footage files in a folder that has the same name as the project. This folder will be inside Capture Scratch, and Capture Scratch's location is set in System Settings in the Final Cut Pro menu.
    When you move from system 1 to system 2 just copy that folder (the one inside Capture Scratch, the one named for your project) from system 1's Capture Scratch folder to system 2's Capture Scratch folder. Obviously copy the .fcp project file too.
    FCP might launch and say it can't find your 100 media files because the path to the media has changed. This is no problem, just point it to the first file and it should find the rest.

  • 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.
