OS X V10.7 Lion :: Installing On More Than One Computer?
Apr 9, 2012
how to install the Lion OS on more than one computer? I downloaded and installed Lion on my iMac today, but want to do the same for my other two computers as well. Is there a way to find the DMG file and save it onto a flash drive instead of downloading it all over again? I searched using Spotlight and could not find the downloaded file anywhere.Â
Downloaded OSX Lion to my laptop. I want to install it on my desktop directly because bandwidth is slow. Can't find OSX 11 installation file on the laptop. How do go about the transfer and install to the desktop
I'm finally switching from MobileMe to iCloud. I need to install OS X Lion and I'm looking for tips on backing up my iMac before I download and install Lion.
just need a quick answer.... i have a copy of leopard that i installed on my macbook and i want to install it on my gf's as well... can this be done? or is it like windows and you can only install it on one computer per copy.
I have the 32-bit Windows Beta installed on VMWare on my MacBook, and I want to install it in bootcamp on my iMac. Can I use the same iso and just burn it on to a DVD and use the samie product key from Microsoft or do I need to download another copy- will Microsoft let me download another 32-bit copy.
I was wondering if I could install OS X Leopard retail version on more than one computer which I own. Basically I have an imac and a ibook G4, my imac is running on Tiger 10.4.11 and my ibook just had a new hard drive installed and is currently without any OS as the original owner doesn't have the original disks. So, I find myself needing to buy a retail version of either Tiger or Leopard and the only thing that makes sense to me is to upgrade my imac to Leopard and install the same on my newly acquired ibook. By doing this am I doing wrong? I mean I own both computers and they are only used by me so should it really cause problems?
when i was installing xp with bootcamp the computer restarted (after i chose my paition and copy some files) then i eject the disc, however it cannot boot from the partially installed disk.. it said disk error, please press any key to restart
I just finished with the installation of windows XP SP2 on my MacBook Air, it all went fine.. but at the moment when I inserted my Leopard disk in order to install the drivers, the screen turned blue and the computer rebooted by itself in a matter of seconds. I've tried 3 times by now and keep doing the same.
I've searched for some time now and haven't seem to come up with a solution. I'm trying to Install leopard on my Imac, but every time I run into the "Software cannot be installed on this computer" message.
I am installing a bigger hard drive for my Macbook pro, when I bought leopard I only paid for it to licensed on 1 comp. How can I keep leopard if I install the new hard drive?
Whenever I try to install my software updates manually, I get the screen saying I must restart my computer after the updates are installed. However, when I click on 'Install and Restart' the computer immediately restarts without installing any of the updates. This has happened repeatedly.
I just installed Windows XP SP2 on my iMac and when I tried installing the Boot Camp disk my computer crashes in a blue screen then immediately restarts.
I had purchased the new retina MBP and i used to have a macbook air. I moved all of my files over to my new computer (NOT using migration assistant, wanted a new setup) and i got everything but my keychains.How can i move my internet keychains over? Â BTW, the computer wont let me export internet keychains...Â
I have a 2010 mini that shipped with Snow Leopard. I hooked up to my TV with display set at 1080p and had no problems for a year and a half. I just installed Lion, though, and a few times now, when the computer wakes up from sleep, it has changed to a lower resolution. I can go back into System Preferences and change it back, but I don't think I should have to. This is a Mac, after all.
After re-installing Lion, my login accounts disappeared.I can only see the Guest account.However, when I boot with Windows, I can see the directories of my accounts.Currently, I can't login Mac OS.

I have downloaded OSX updated 10.7.3 through software update. Once it has downloaded I follow instructions to restart and install the update. My macbook shuts everything down and lands up at the login screen. Please help to install this update
I have a 500 GB Hard drive in my early 2011 MacBook Pro and will be adding a a second SSD Drive in the former location of my optical drive. I purchased a 64GB SSD and only want to transfer the operating sytem and apps. How can I do this? I am familiar with super duper but think that only exact copies can be made. Is there any other way that I can transfer just Mac OSX Lion and my Apps to my new hard drive?Â

I have Xcode 4.3.2 downloaded from MacApp store. However, it didn't set my environment for development libraries at all. So I included /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/usr/bin/ in PATH so it can find common utilities like make, cc, etc. I have installed mysql-5.5.23-osx10.6-x86_64 from MySQL's DMG archive. That went smooth - I am able to start and stop the server. Get in using mysql command line client interface and execute queries, etc. Perl came preinstalled with 10.7.3 Lion. Version of perl is 5.12.3. I am now trying to install DBD::MySQL driver for interfacing with perl and ran into issues. According to MySQL documentation, I first tried to install this driver using -Â
shell> perl -MCPAN -e shell cpan> force install DBD::mysqlÂ
But this failed with make errors (the error is same as reported further below). Then, after days of googling, I found the original post by etresoft on installing this driver. I followed the steps documented in that post (reproduced below for easy reference). My comments in italics. Download the MySQL Perl driver. Done. My version of DBD happens to be 4.021.Â
Extract the archive with: tar xvf DBD-mysql-4.021.tar Move into the directory: cd DBD-mysql-4.021Â
First, fix the MySQL client library. (credit) For Lion, type:sudo install_name_tool -id /usr/local/mysql-5.5.14-osx10.6-x86_64/lib/libmysqlclient.18.dylib /usr/local/mysql-5.5.14-osx10.6-x86_64/lib/libmysqlclient.18.dylib Done. No issues.
I am trying to update my iMac from Snow Leopard to Lion via a purchased download. The first time it wouldn't install because it said the disk was corrupted and needed to be wiped. So I wiped it and restored to the starting position, did disk repair (all fine). Downloaded it again, after several failed attempts. Finally got it to download and install only to discover it wasn't working properly - Mail for instance didn't work - and used OSX recovery to reinstall, which downloaded "components" for 8 hours and then I got a big yellow triangle warning saying "installation failed." Â
I have used up all my high speed internet connection allowance for the month trying to do this, and am now back on a restored version of Snow Leopard. Any advice gratefully received! I simply don't have the ability or patience to try to download another 4GB.
I recently tried to wipe my HD and reinstall OSX Lion again to wipe my computer and start again. But now i am having difficulty installing Lion again as when i reset my MacBook Pro it comes up with the internet recovery and the option to reinstall OSX Lion.Once i click on that option it says its verifying the update with apple, then comes up with an error message saying an error occurred while preparing the installation please open application again. Or something along those lines this effectively leaves my computer unusable as i cannot do anything else with it.

I just installed Lion to my Mac (Mac OS X Lion 10.7.3), and somehow I now seem to have trouble accessing internet. I use Wi-fi, and the actual connection with our internet-provider works just fine (we have other computers in the house, and have not experienced any trouble with them). When I want to use internet I have to go to the network panel, click on "help me", and run a diagnostics. After that, I have no problem assessing internet.Â
I just bought Age of Empires III for Mac but after installing and upadating it the program keeps on "quitting unexpectedly". I am running Mac OS Lion so I know there might be compatibility issues considering AoE III is a pretty old game. The most recent update is supposed to make it work on Lion (but not for me).
