OS X V10.7 Lion :: Have To Buy More Than 1 OS X For Two Home Computers?
Apr 7, 2012
I have a home mac desktop and a laptop. I'm wondering if you need to buy 2 seperate downloads or can they somehow be one purchase? I'm also trying to sync both computers so my email, music, calendars and bookmarks are updated on each computer-- which is another reason why I'm wondering if it's just one purchase or two seperate ones? Clearly I'm not very tech savvy, but I thought you could sync computers (also with my iphone) somehow.Â
Info:
MacBook Pro (15-inch 2.4/2.2 GHz), Mac OS X (10.6.8)
I set up the icloud on to my computers, now I cannot connect my iphone to my computers, I get a err message saying it is drawing to much power from my computers, whats up?I didn't have this problem before and it is on both my imac and my macbook.
I bought Lion and downloaded it, I believe I'm aloud to install it in more computers for the same price, is this true? How can I install it on my laptop?
I can't download LION on my MacBook despite having bought it on my Big Mac. Apple store tells me that I already bought it (yeah I know that) … but it won't let me do upgrade it..
Info:MacBook, iOS 5.1, Can't upgrade the system software
I am using Mac OS X Lion Server on my iMac that always stays on at home. I also have 4 Macbooks that I have connected to the VPN. When all of these computers are under the same Airport Extreme at home, I can see all of them on any computer and can screen share and connect to any one of them through any computer.However, I want to be able to see these computers even if I am connected through another network. For example, if I am at my office I want to be able to see my iMac or other Macbooks on my sidebar in Finder.i have seen other people do this, I am just wondering what is it that I need to do.I can connect to my VPN from any one of my Macbooks outside of the network perfectly and even through my iPhone.
I purchased Lion and was able to download it on my laptop, but it is no longer listed under purchases on my desktop. How do I download it on my desktop without paying again?
How do I upgrade my desktop computers from Mac OS 10.5.8 to Lion?It seems like I have to upgrade to Snow Leopard before I can upgrade to Lion.I need to do this for 4 iMacs and I need to do it to be able to transfer my MobileMe data to iCloud before MobileMe ends on 6/30/12.Otherwise my iOS devices will be able to sync to each other but not to any of my iMacs.
I would like to install Lion on my iMac and my 2 MacBook Pro's. Do I have to pay for it three times? Or, can I install it on both computers for a single payment? Is there an install disk available?
I have installed Lion on my desktop computer.How do I download Lion for my laptop.Yes, I did pay for this, but it was a download from the store.The directions to do this for multiple computers seem non-existant. Additionally, when I log in to my Apple account it does NOT note that I have purchased Lion at all.My laptop does have 10.6.8 loaded.

As time passed, we have many, many computers around our institution. At some point, users were able to update their individual software without admin assistants. However, we have changed the policy, and users can't do this anymore. Therefore, is there an easy way to push updates to multiple apple computers? The apps that need to be updated include:
1. Apple OS
2. Individual Applications
3. Apple Firmware
If you could list what product works best, and if Apple does have a in-house solution.
I am trying to share two computers together in a private network.Â
I have an iMac running OS X Lion & a Macbook Pro running Snow Leopard. The iMac's name on the network is: Studio The Macbook Pro's name on the network is: djlaptop I turn on file sharing, assign a name and they connect through wi-fi. In the Macbook Pro's Finder (djlaptop) the devices list shows this: Â
And on the Imac (Studio) it shows this:Â
I can't seem to get the 'Macintosh HD' of the Macbook Pro to show up on the Imac's finder (running lion). The 'DJ' is the home folder.Â
Does anyone have any more knowledge on how to get it to show up? I have checked my Finder Sidebar items and all of them are ticked. I want to mount the whole Macintosh HD and not just the home folder.Â
I have two macs on the same network. I have an external HDD attached to Mac "a" being used as TM. I want to be able share that TM so Mac "b" can back up to it as well over a wireless network. Both Macs running the same Lion. Â
I have had a good look around but haven't found anything of any real use. To recap. Two Macs, one Time Machine, how the Duce?Â
Were is the 4GB file after the download is complete? ALSO, if I reapply the download to that machine to reset or fix corrupted system files, etc., is the downloaded install image gone afterward? In other words, does the install "clean up" and remove the downloaded install bits?Â
We have an exiting network of approximately 50 Macs running anything from Lion to Leopard. Obviously there are existing local accounts on these machines.What I'd like to do is to administer these users and machines through Lion Server so that I can use the existing user information for all of the services provided by Lion Server, but to do so without altering the way the end user operates and without any data loss.I am having difficulty finding any information on this, but surely someone has installed Open Directory into an existing Mac network.
Need to update 2 MacBook Pros to Lion. Did one yesterday. When I sign in on the second one, it says I've already purchased Lion. Do I just download it again? Is the second one free? If not, how do I purchase the second Lion?
I have two computers that I wish to purchase Lion for. Can this be done under a single AppleID?This is in a corporate environment? I need to upgrade two computers from Snow Leopard to Lion.
I have been trying to access my external hard drives that are hooked up to my mac mini from my imac and cant seem to do it. They are listed in the shared folder on the mac mini already.
I just noticed that on the left side of each folder, there is a section titled "Shared" and it is showing what looks like the computer names of two PC laptops from someone I know. I have never actually done file sharing with these computers, so I'm not sure why they are displaying here? Why do these display here? I come in contact with lots of people all day long and I do not see their computers in this list.
I want to be able to disable Mission Control for client computers. We are a school with a 1:1 computer setup and it is too easy for the kids to swipe their desktop away when a teacher walks by. I know I could manually disable the gesture, but I can't disable to my knowledge by permissions and I would rather disable the whole thing all together.
My finder windows seem to show that I'm "sharing" with other computers. I have file sharing turned off in System Preferences. On the left side of the finder window it shows "Favorites" and under that "Shared" pops up with what I assume are other computers nearby. These are not names of other computers in my house. These computer names pop up and come and go. They are the same two names. Underneath the "shared" names, my external drives show up under "Devices". My cable modem is connected to an Apple Airport Extreme router. Any ideas on why this "sharing" is showing up?Is my data secure?Â
I recently had my 15" MacBook Pro serviced because of a hard drive failure. It required that the operating system (OSX 10.7.3) be reinstalled. The reinstall was handled by the Best Buy Geek Squad store where I originally purchased the Mac. They named my home folder using only my first name in lower case letters. I would prefer my full name like my previous install. DoI understand correctly that it is NOT possible to rename this folder? Would I have to reinstall Lion and wipe all the data to do this? Or is there a simple way to rename the folder.Â
Info: MacBook Pro (15-inch Early 2011), Mac OS X (10.7.3)
I was trying to change the name of my home folder, I thought I did tis but when I restarted I lost all my photos in iPhoto and my songs in iTunes. How can I restore to the way it was before???
I have macbook pro with os x lion and I am trying to connect my mac to the existing network. all i really care is to be able to access files from my existing pc's.All my computers are on workgroup called HOME and I want to change that from WORKGROUP that is the defaul setting in mac.
