Reinstall OS X Lion on my second computer without re-downloading the image from MacAppStore
Hi everybody.
I would like to know if it is lecit (legal): 1. to redownload the image I bought from MacAppStore (with option click on MacAppStore buy-button); 2. to make a copy of it on an external HD or a bootable DVD (with CarbonCopyCloner or Disk Utility) 3. to use this newly burned image to install Lion on my second computer?
At this point, how should I (if I really need to) make Apple know that the copy I'm trying to install on the second computer is really the one I bought? Will I be prompted to sign in with my Apple ID at the installation, right? Once I log in, am I alright?
Please let me know.
Thanks for helping
Best
Yes... of course: I just forgot a key problem... I have a slow DSL connection and I have to share it with 2 more computers: so either do I use it all for many hours and then the others won't be able even to check their e-mail (unless I try to set for this time only the QoS of my router), or I won't be able to download it and install it in less than 1 week! That's why I wanted to burn the image or at least save it somewhere.
But by doing that I don't know if I'm also deleting some information I am supposed to give Apple during the registration (a specific "personal" code embedded in the download?).
That's it..

how to change the path that sysprep were copied to reference computer when i capture the image from reference.
Should i modify some codes in LTIAPPLY.wsf? how to modify it?
Thanks.Sysprep and capture has *Three* steps.
1. Run sysprep on the local machine (easy).
2. Copy WinPE down to the local machine so we can reboot into winpe for capture.
3. Capture the drive in an *offline* state from within WinPE.
What is most likely happening is that you are having problems with step #2. 100MB is *WAY* too small to copy down WinPE. By default MDT will make this System partition much bigger, 499MB. IF you install Windows 7 from the default media. IT will only create
a 100MB partition.
By default MDT 2012 Update 1 and greater *should* recover to a fallback drive with the OS on it, however if you are running older versions that might not happen correctly.
If you are still having problems, copy your BDD.log file to a public share like OneDrive and copy the link here.

Can I load Mountain Lion to a second computer [for free] if the original came on a new MacBook?
I recently purchased a new MacBook Pro which came preloaded with OS X Mountain Lion. Can I download Mountain Lion to a second computer?
For a Pre-Installed version, there is no feasible way to do it, even if the license allowed. You can't download the installer. You can only reinstall via Recovery HD or Internet Recovery.
If you got a copy of Mountain Lion via the Up-to-date program, you can use that as it comes with a Mac App Store license. -
Can I install Creative Cloud on a computer if I download the app from a different computer?
I pre-purchased Cloud and I have been paying every month and I have yet to be able to use it.
I finally get high speed internet to downoad the programs but the LAN card on my desktop is not working and I cannot fix it.
I am overseas and I cannot get to a service center, if I relpace the LAN card myself I void the warranty on the computer.
I can use the highspeed with my laptop, so is it possible to download the apps with my laptop and install on my desktop?

I want to add lion to a second computer in my home.
I went to Apple's site to do this, logged in using the same login I used to purchase and download Lion for my laptop and the site went to a payment page with my credit card info which indicated to me that I was about to be charged. How do I add Lion to a second computer without being charged?
ThanksI'm having the same problem and I've tried installing it on the second computer about ten times. Keeps going to the credit card page. I'm definitely logged into the MAS using the same AppidID I used to originally purchase Lion, and when I go to "Purchased" Lion is there with all my other purchcased apps, but when I click on "Install" it goes to my credit card page with the info pre-filled except for the CVC code and the button at the bottom right says "Billing Info". Not sure if clicking on that will charge me again or not?

Can I install Lion on a second computer?
If I buy Lion from App Store, can I install Lion to a second computer and using the two computer in the same wifi at the same time?
Technically?

Talk to your and/or Apples lawyers, I can't answer that.
One of my computer is 10.5, how can I install Lion on this machine? Thanks!
If you're going to download from the App Store it needs to be running 10.6.8. Apple also now has Lion on a flashdrive that I believe can be installed on non Snow Leopard machines. Finally if you have Lion on one of your machines already you can make your own flashdrive installer which again I believe will work on non Snow Leopard machines.
Search here or on the web or Apples site for more detailed info.

I have big problems with mountain lion. you can not have a boot disk system I resulted in the need to re-download the os from scratch impiegandoci 8 hours, it is outrageous even with windows 95.
at least that the operator has confirmed to me that he called me. I also have problems with either the start of the mac with the power off. I can not understand if it crashes or is just very very slow.
Finally, I have a problem with the external hard disck. I often said to have been ejected incorrectly (not true) and I start to restore the startup recovery disk because disk utility is ineffective from the normal operating system .. is a shocking thing, but how you reduced. in four years it had never happened. seem to have windows or worse. Wake up.
I am an Italian, alas, and then I would like an answer to my language because my € are the same as German French or English.You are on Windows 2000, you do not have a "Firefox" button, and should consider yourself to be fortunate in that you still have menus and don't have to do anything to get the menus back instead of the "Firefox" button. (The same applies to Windows XP users).
Use the "File" menu to get to Import. You are not on Windows 7 or Vista, and don't have to put up with the nonsense added for Aero.
If you want the "Firefox" button you can get it with View -> toolbars -> (uncheck) Menu Bar. The menu bar and the "Firefox" button were supposed to be mutually exclusive (which is impossible in some cases without being incompatible).
Once you are using the "Firefox" button ...
Use the "Alt" key to view the menu bar (temporarily) containing File, Edit, View, History, Bookmarks, Tools, and Help. On Windows 7 and Vista, the menu bar was hidden by default in Firefox 4 and above. These menu items are more or less available under the "Firefox" button which has the most used of the built-in Firefox menu items available in a different format.
To get back to having menus again. "Firefox" button -> Options (second column) -> (check) Menu Bar
You can make '''Firefox 7.0.1''' look like Firefox 3.6.*, see numbered '''items 1-10''' in the following topic [http://dmcritchie.mvps.org/firefox/firefox-problems.htm#fx4interface Fix Firefox 4.0 toolbar user interface, problems (Make Firefox 4.0 thru 8.0, look like 3.6)].

I have a router in my upstairs, main floor of the house. My iMac connects easily to the router, but the printer does not. If I purchase a second Airport, will it strengthen the signal from the router so the printer will connect wirelessly to the network?
I had the printer connected to the iMac by USB , but when I upgraded the iMac to Maverick OS10 my scanner no longer worked, the more I fussed with it the less productive it was. Now the printer no longer is available at all. The computer does not see it.
The message when I turn them on is that the USB is not compatible. I unplugged the USB cable, and would like to connect wirelessly.
Thank you for any hints
Carol HavensIf you have an Apple router now providing your wireless network, you could add another....like an AirPort Express, for example....to "extend" the signal wirelessly and provide more coverage.
This is always a bit tricky, because the AirPort Express would need to be located where it can receive a strong signal from the main AirPort wireless router.
For example, if you need more wireless signal in a bedroom at the end of the house, you would locate the AirPort Express about half way between the main AirPort router and the bedroom.
On a side note......only the print function will work when you connect an All-in-One device to the USB port on an AirPort, so connect the All-in-One using wireless for full functionality. -
I bought a MacBook Pro last year. I have a redeem code for Os X Lion 10.7. I had to erase all my data on HD. Now i cant update to Lion 10.7 and there is no way a i can download the update from apple unless i pay... AGAIN????
Exactly which Mac OS X version is currently intalled?
Click your Apple menu icon top left in your screen. From the drop down menu click About This Mac.
If you see v10.7 you can use Lion Recovery to reinstall OS X. -

I'm so frustrated and in desperate need of help, I don't know what else to do! Certain apps such as Tumblr (I've previously had the Tumblr app on my phone) and Vine will NOT dowload on my phone. I've tried deleting all apps from both my iPhone and iTunes, I've tried restoring my phone then backing it up, I've tried downloading the app from iTunes while my phone is plugged into my computer, etc. When I search the apps in the app store they show up but the 'FREE' button is white and unclickable, it's very frustrating. When I download it from iTunes while my phone is plugged in I can watch it download, but when it's done it immediately dissapears from the screen and from my phone. When I plug my phone into iTunes it say I have the Tumblr and Vine apps, but I assure you, I do not. I have deleted and tried to add them so many times but it never works. SOMEONE PLEASE HELP!!!
Oh my gosh I had the EXACT same problem, and for ages I couldn't figure out how to fix it until today. Here's what I did:
First I went onto my computer, opened itunes, and un-installed tumblr, vine and kik. These were the apps I was having problems with (it said I had them on my phone but, like you, they didn't show).
Then I went to the itunes store, searched for each one, and it said I could update them so I did (just FYI: for tumblr a window popped up saying "please click ok to confirm you are 17 years or older", so I did that also)
When I went back to my phone and tried installing them again (still on my computer), it worked!
I hope this helps, because it was incredibly frustrating. Good luck! -
I recently purchased a new PC. I had backed-up my old computer on Carbonite, so I was able to transfer my iTunes library to the new computer when I downloaded my info from Carbonite, but the playlists are gone. Is there a way to restore my playlists?
Most of my playlists are on my iPod. If I use my iPod to transfer, will the songs double in my library? Also, how do I do this?
Thank you for any & all info you can provide!
JulieIf you had backed up and restored your library properly you should have ended up with the playlists too. Did you import the media folder from the backup drive into a new library rather than restoring the entire iTunes folder?

Help! I reinstalled my Mac and erased my iWeb page in the program.Its published, is there any way to download the pages from Mobile Me?
To download your pages from MobileMe simply mount your iDisk.
Then navigate to the Web > Sites folder where the pages are.
You can't do anything with them however, since iWeb cannot import them. But it's nice to know that you can download them.
You need the domain.sites2 files, iWeb uses to store its assets. Perhaps you have a backup?
See this page for pictures and movies to learn how to use the domain file :

If ALL your music is on the iPod and it's ALL iTunes purchased content, you log into iTunes with your account on th enew machine and reverse sycn the music back.
If the music is from cd's and other sources (not iTunes files) then ask over at iLounge what third party solution currently works. (can't recommond it here)
I have some HUGE instructions here how to get your music off the old comptuer too:
Recovery options:
A: If Windows isn't booting:
You need to boot the computer from a "recovery disk or USB" that has a operating system on it and a graphical user interface to transfer files from your boot drive to a external drive.
I suggest using the Easy USB Installer to install Ubuntu 10.10 onto a 2-4 GB USB key.
http://www.pendrivelinux.com/universal-usb-installer-easy-as-1-2-3/
or
burn a ISO of Ubuntu 10.10 or PartedMagic to a cd-r with ImgBurn or Win 7 right click and burn
You can use Disk Utility in OS X to select the ISO and burn to cd/dvd as well.
Once you have it installed, consult this page for your BIOS boot key to hold to get into the BIOS.
http://pcsupport.about.com/od/fixtheproblem/a/biosaccess_pc.htm
Plug the USB into the back (if possible) of the computer, connect the external drive and enter the BIOS, set the USB (or CD) as first boot and SAVE.
Boot off the USB/CD and "Try Ubuntu/Run from disk" DON'T INSTALL. (Parted Magic loads into RAM and ejects CD)
Once in, go under the menu Places > Computer and transfer your files to the external drive just like you would in Windows, drag and drop.
(If using Parted Magic double click on the Mount Drive left icon twice, use the two GUI windows to transfer files to external drive, unmount drives, log out/quit in the lower left corner menu option)
B: If the computer hardware isn't working, but the drive might still work:
You'll have to remove the power cord and manually extract the hard drive. This might result in some damage.
There is a powered IDE/SATA to USB adapter for sale online for $20 that you can take that internal hard drive and use it like a external drive to access your files from another Windows machine.
C: If your iTunes content is deleted...
It might be recoverable if it hasn't been overwritten yet by fresh data. Undelete software works by reading the 1's and 0's of the files themselves, not what the OS says.
You need to use undelete software pre-installed before the iTunes content was deleted, or while on a bootable cd/USB and a external drive to transfer the recovered files.
You can also install undelete type software on a new machine and USE STEP B above to "undelete" the files and recover them directly to the new computer.
You can't install undelete software or recover files to the same drive your attempting to recover from or it overwrites the deleted data.
D: If the hard drive doesn't work and...
The data isn't worth spending $2000-$3000 in a ATTEMPT at platter dissection recovery, then your finished
If the data on the drive was encrypted, data recovery efforts may be futile, unless it's a encypted file and you transfer it successfuly and have the password to de-crypt it.
E: If you have a "iDevice" with any content
It can be synced back into iTunes, check at iLounge what third party software works reliably now and for your version.
(Once you log into your iTunes account, you can sync ONLY iTunes purchased content back from a iDevice)
Third party software can recover just about all the items on a iDevice, regardless of it's origin. (can't recommend such software here)
F: If any of the above is too hard, or the data is of "critical importance"
Then seek professional computer or forensic level recovery services.
Get help from someone who has done this sort of thing repeatly and can almost guaranty 100% results.
There is Linux software that can "rip" all data off a iOS device if that level of attention is needed, seek a professional service.
Hope this helps in your data recovery efforts.
Please, backup your data, it's the only thing us IT professionals can't recover.
