Paid For Lion On One Computer. Now Asking To Verify Payment On Another

Anyone have this problem.  I understand Lion, once you pay for it, can be used for any other Mac you have. I did stop the downloading on the first iMac, and will go back to resume later.  Is that the problem?  You have to fully download one Lion App before you can go on to the next? Because  when I go the App Store, go to purchases, sign in see the Lion Icon and Install button for my MacBook Pro, I get the verify payment question, not allowing me to push the install button. Any solutions?
Thanks

I understand, but it's not doing that.  I sign in, and then a little red box appears and says "You must verify payment info before you can a purchase." Well, I did make a purchase on my iMac, and now I want to download it on my Macbook Pro.  Just want to be sure I don't get charged twice. My payment is done through PayPal with an Am Ex card. When I press the Am Ex button, it's asking for the card # etc.  It seems like it want to charge me.
And the at the bottom is a cancel /done button.  Maybe I should call the 1-800 number.  The Lion icon is there, it's not just not permitting me to install without what seems to be a new purchase

  • If I purchase the in-app content for GarageBand on one computer, could that purchase be transferred onto another device? Or would I have to repurchase the content on the new computer?

    I have a Mac desktop computer and will be getting a MacBook Pro within the next year. I don't want to purchase the in-app content if I won't be able to transfer it to my new computer. Any help is appreciated.

    The in-app purchase will be tied to your Apple-ID.  You can download and install again any software you bought from the App Store on any computer you own or control and are using with the same Apple ID (for private purposes).
    When you buy the in-app purchase now on your Deskop computer, you can use the menu command "GarageBand > Restore Purchase" on your second Mac to obtain the purchase.

    Developers control which versions of their app is in the store. If a developer releases a new version and pulls the old version then it will no longer be available in the store.
    If you sync the device that has the older app in ITunes on your computer and choose to transfer purchases,  you will then have your own saved copy of the app. Then, sync the other device and select to install that app from the list of locally saved purchases.

    i've paid for my icloud storage but now need a vat receipt, where can i get one?

    Usually Apple sends an invoice to your mail 1-2 days after your purchase.
    You may even search the invoice yourself, but I'm not sure if you will find it before 1-2 days.

  • I paid for Lion and downloaded once to my lap top.  Now I want to download to my IMac

    I paid for Lion and downloaded it to my lap top and now want to download it to  my IMac and cant' find it on ITunes anywhere.  Where is it?

    Lion is not in iTunes. It is in the Mac App Store. Be sure to sign in with the same Apple ID so you don't have to pay twice.

  • If I have lion installed on one computer, how do I transfer it to another without having to download it? My net is to slow to redownload it. I searched for lion os x.app in finder and couldn't find it.

    If I have lion installed on one computer, how do I transfer it to another without having to download it? My net is to slow to redownload it. I searched for lion os x.app in finder and couldn't find it.

    Downloading Lion from the Mac App Store didn't put the Lion OS on your computer. It put an application package called Install Mac OS X Lion on your computer; specifically, in your Applications folder.
    If you install from the Install Mac OS X Lion application package inside your Applications folder, the application package (the installer) will be deleted once the installation is complete. You must copy the installer to another location or to another drive/media before you run it to upgrade to Lion - if you didn't do that, then you have to download it again.
    If you did copy the installer, then you can just copy it over to any other Mac you own which meets Lion's minimum system requirements and run it again to upgrade those other Macs to Lion.

  • How do I create 2 Recovery partitions: one for Lion and one for Mountain Lion?

    Well that is basically the question:
    How do I create 2 recovery partitions: one for Lion and one for Mountain Lion?
    Reason is that I would like to keep the option to return to Lion, or even better, have a seperate partition for eacht?

    can I access my programs from the other partition, so I can save space ...
    No, as far as I know, each one is completely separate - especially if you're dealing with two different versions of OS's.
    is it possible to safely make an extra partion on a running drive (it is my main computer ...) The disk is large enough ...
    how large would this have to be
    I've personally never done it on a running drive - have read it's possible, but don't want to suggest it since I've never done it and wouldn't be sure about the steps. This is how I got to two partitions on my iMac:
    Originally, I had just one partition with Snow Leopard. I used CCC to clone that to an external drive. Booted into that drive and used DU to partition and erase the internal. I then cloned the new clone back. Also cloned the same thing to the other partition which I then upgraded to Lion. So I had two OS's - SL and Lion. I've now decided to clone my SL to an external drive for occasional use and installed ML on that partition - so now I have Lion and ML.
    There are two ways to get a "fresh" install: either download the OS again and install it on a partition of your choice or, as I've done as well, copy the installer to a safe place so you don't need to download it again. It does include whatever apps/software is included in the OS.  I've designated two smaller partitions on externals as my "fresh" installs of both Lion and ML for emergency or reinstall purposes (this is my way of dealing with not having install DVDs) - I took the time to install it there and then slowly add fresh installs of my important apps (either via download or install CD) - don't bother with the little/less used stuff, a current copy of that can be downloaded if and when I need it. I don't really update those two - that can also be done if/when I need it since that'll always change.
    So, yesterday, I decided I wanted to start fresh with ML - booted into my fresh install of Lion (on external), wiped the SL partition on my internal and installed Lion. Decided to download a fresh copy of the ML installer and installed that. Then ran Software Update. After that, repaired permissions. Then I methodically opened every third party app and checked for updates - installed those where necessary. After all that, I simply copied (drag 'n drop) my entire Documents folder (which contains all my important data,, photos, etc) over from another backup.
    This took a while, but mostly because of the long download times; the installs weren't all that bad. I should be running a really clean system now, especially since nothing was ported over except my Documents folder.

  • Can I download lion to one computer and then install it on several computers I own?

    Can I download lion to one computer and then install it on several computers I own?

    You can install it on as many computers that you personally own. But if you have several then you may want to avoid having to download it multiple times:
    Make Your Own Lion Installer
    1. After downloading Lion you must first save the Install Mac OS X Lion application. After Lion downloads DO NOT click on the Install button. Go to your Applications folder and make a copy of the Lion installer. Move the copy into your Downloads folder. Now you can click on the Install button. You must do this because the installer deletes itself automatically when it finishes installing Lion.
    2. Get a USB flash drive that is at least 8 GBs. Prep this flash drive as follows:
    Open Disk Utility in your Utilities folder.
    After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the drive in DU's status area.  If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing.  SMART info will not be reported  on external drives. Otherwise, click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
    Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
    Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the drive entry) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
    Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, check the button for Zero Data and click on OK to return to the Erase window.
    Click on the Erase button. The format process can take up to several hours depending upon the drive size.
    3. Locate the saved Lion installer in your Downloads folder. CTRL- or RIGHT-click on the installer and select Show Package Contents from the contextual menu. Double-click on the Contents folder to open it. Double-click on the SharedSupport folder. In this folder you will see a disc image named InstallESD.dmg.
    4. Plug in your freshly prepared USB flash drive. You are going to clone the InstallESD.dmg disc image to the flash drive as follows:
    Open Disk Utility.
    Select the USB flash drive from the left side list.
    Click on the Restore tab in the DU main window.
    Check the box labeled Erase destination.
    Select the USB flash drive volume from the left side list and drag it to the Destination entry field.
    Drag the InstallESD.dmg disc image file into the Source entry field.
    Double-check you got it right, then click on the Restore button.
    When the clone is completed you have a fully bootable Lion installer that  you can use without having to re-download Lion.

  • I have paid for itunes match and have now lost all my music of my iphone except what I paid for from itunes, 964 songs gone not at all happy.  Can anyone help

    I have paid for itunes match and have now lost all my music off my iphone except what I paid for from itunes, 964 songs gone into the cloud. Can anyone help please?

    Enabling iTunes Match does not delete music from your computer. Why do you think it is now not in the iTunes library if it was before? If all of your music was in the iTunes library then it is also now in the cloud if iTunes has completed it's scan and all the music meets the match requirements. Enable the iCloud Status column in the iTunes browser by switching to Song view and pulling down View > View Options. Select iCloud Status then close the small window. Sort on the new column. Your music should be listed as "purchased," "matched" and "uploaded." Some tracks may be "ineligible." Post back and let us know.

  • I paid for Lion, but it did not download

    I paid for Lion and it did not download

    To get any help you will need to give a more detailed description of the issue. No one here reads minds. What happened after you bought Lion? What alert windows appeared and what did they state?

  • I paid for Lion, but...

    I paid for Lion (OS X 10.7.0) but didn't like it.  I down-graded back to Snow Leopard.  Now I want to go back to Lion.  How do I access my purchase again now that I've returned to Snow Leopard?  The App Store seems to be inaccessible via Snow Leopard.  Is there a way to get access to what I already paid for?

    The Apple Support Communities are an international user to user technical support forum. As a man from Mexico, Spanish is my native tongue. I do not speak English very well, however, I do write in English with the aid of the Mac OS X spelling and grammar checks. I also live in a culture perhaps very very different from your own. When offering advice in the ASC, my comments are not meant to be anything more than helpful and certainly not to be taken as insults.
    You can install the Mac App Store (MAS) on Snow Leopard by installing this update;
    Mac OS X Snow Leopard 10.6.8 v1.1 update combo

    After you have the MAS on your Mac, you can sign into your MAS account, open the Purchases pane and download the Mt Lion installer to upgrade Snow Leopard to Mt Lion.

  • How to have multiple preference files for Mail on one computer

    I would like to have multiple preference files for Mail on one computer, one copy for each person in the organization. I want everybody to log in as the same user. Is this possible?
    Thanks,
    John Link
    Cube, 450 MHz, 640 MB   Mac OS X (10.3.9)  

    Since the Mail.app preference file (along with all other application preference files for a user account) is stored in that user's Home folder/directory, I don't believe this is possible.

    I backed up my ipad to the cloud as it had a broken screen so I swaped it out for a new one and now I cant restore because the new Ipad has IOS 6 and my back up is 6.1!  This is what I get for buying an Ipad twice in a week because of a broken screen? $500 the first buy and then another $299 plus tax for the swaped out one that I can't restore with my backup data.

    I assume that you will have to set up as new since it will not let you restore from the backup. Then after you set it up, you can restore from the iCloud backup. The backup should not disappear be use you are setting this device up as new. Your backup should still be in iCloud.
    However, after you activate the iPd and update the software, you will have to erase the device in order to restore from the Cloud backup, that is the only way to get to the iCloud backup.
    Copied from the article that linked you to this discussion ....
    Resolution
    Update your device to the latest version of iOS to be able to restore the backup.

  • I own two i macs. I bought and installed Lion on one computer. How can I install Lion on the other computer without additional charge?

    I own two I macs. I bought and installed Lion on one computer. How can I install Lion on the other compute without additional charge?

    If it's the same email address Apple registration on both, use the 2nd computer and go to the App Store and find Lion. If different, use the second computer but log in to the App store with the address you used on the first go round. The buy button should instead say install. Then go through the same process again.
