I just bought a macbook pro and qualified for the free Mountiain Lion update. How do I download the software on my laptop now that I've received the password for the content code file.

I recently purchased a macbook pro and qualified for the free Mountain Lion update. Now that I've received the very long content code from Apple, where do I go to enter this information? Is there a link within apple.com? This is my first apple computer so I'm not a proficient user. Thank you

Sign into the App Store with your Apple ID. App Store should be in the Dock.

If I bought an iMac for the family and a MacBook Pro for my daughter between the period for the free Mountain Lion update, would we have to submit the request form twice?

I do not understand what it means by "right to copy."

I love the portability my powerbook gives me. You can use a PB in your setup. You can run an external monitor for either PB or MBP. You can node. Universal Binary menas it is an application which has the components written for both PPC and Intel chips-so you don't need to do conversion. Nodes won't require you buy a nother license. so the answer is down to how much the 2 upgrades and 1 crossgrades will set you back vs how much use you'll get out of them. IMO the iMac is inexpensive (I mean that in a good way-worth hooding on to). Maybe just look at a refurb PB unless you really have the extra cash.

No purchased Mountain Lion in Appstore with new Macbook Pro

Hi there,
I purchased a brand new Apple 13" Macbook Pro-3rd i5-2.5ghz two days ago. Now wanting to install an SSD drive i'm preparing by getting my OSX onto an external drive to make a clean install onto the new SSD.
The Macbook came with 10.8.4 pre-installed, which I updated to 10.8.5, flawlessly. So, Mountain Lion pre-installed and updated, good.
Now that I want to get Mountain Lion onto an external drive for when I go for the clean install on the SSD, I start looking for it in the appstore under my purchased apps: Mountain Lion nowhere to be found.
I Google the problem: "Mountain Lion OSX not showing as purchased in Appstore"
Same apple id used? Yes I did.
"It's probably under your hidden purchases, check your account and show hidden purchases!" No it's not there as well.
If I search the market for Mountain Lion it shows up... with a nice pricetag of 17,99 euros.
How is this possible? I registered my Apple ID correctly, was able to update to 10.8.5 just fine, but the Mountain Lion OSX still appears as un-purchased in the Appstore, which is not letting me download it (for free..)
Suggestions?
Best regards,
Sylvain

Thank you for your clear answer! All the answers from Google I found apparently came from people that purchased Mountain Lion from the App Store instead of having it pre-installed, which got me confused.
I purchased the Macbook new from an authorised reseller, not directly from an Apple Store. However the store is pretty big and common in Holland (www.dixons.nl) so that won't be an issue.
So you're saying I can simple put the SSD in, boot with command+R while being connected to the internet and install through the recovery partition directly of the internet.
Seems like a very easy system, I guess i'm just used to old fashion having the operating system on an external drive or cd in order to make a clean install.
*Will it be a problem to leave the original HDD in alongside with the new SSD? I guess in the boot menu you can choose what to do with each drive?
I will be using the original 500gig HDD for storage, simply installing the SSD in order to boost he performance of the Macbook.

Old Mac running Mountain Lion 'sees' Canon IP5000, new MacBook pro will not. No driver available from canon. Is there a way of transfering whatever is working from old mac to new?

I have two older macs running Mountain Lion that have been upgraded over the years from Leopard. They have continued to be able to print to a Canon IP5000 and use a driver that is fully functional. On the new MacBook Pro, the printer is found, but no driver is available for Mountain Lion from apple or Canon. Is there a way of getting the driver info from the old mac so that it will work on the new one?

Sorry, it says "New Event," not "New Entry." My bad.

Am I really too late for the free Mountain Lion upgrade?

Hi,
I bought my new MBP retina on June 13th, and just discovered I should've ordered Mountain Lion before August 26th.
Is it really true I have no chance of getting a free upgrade to Mountain Lion anymore?
I just can't imagine this being true. 30 days is not a long time (I was on vacation for 3 weeks in August!), and I've
never gotten a message or an alert from Apple to order within 30 days when it came out.
I hope someone can enlighten me.

How to do a fresh install of Mountain Lion after clean wipe of MacBook Pro Early 2008 version?

Hey everyone,
The following are my computer specs:
MacBook Pro
15-inch, Early 2008
Hardware
Overview
Processor
2.6 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
Memory
4 GB 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM
L2 Cache
6 MB
Graphics
NVIDIA GeForce 8600M GT 512 MB
Software
Mac OS X Lion 10.7.4 (11E53)
mid 2008 - I got this laptop at the online Apple Store, configured to my specs. It came with Leopard.
mid 2009 - I bought a Snow Leopard disk from the Apple Store and upgraded the OS directly over Leopard, with all my data still there.
mid 2011 - I purchased the Lion download online from the Mac App Store and upgraded the OS again, directly over Snow Leopard, with all my data still there.
mid 2012 - Now I want to upgrade to Mountain Lion. I have already purchased the Mountain Lion download online from the Mac App Store and downloaded it to my computer. Have also copied (i guess) all my files, bookmarks, iTunes library on to an external HD.
But I haven't installed it yet because I want to first clean wipe my computer and restore it to factory settings, to the way it was when I first got it with Leopard, because its extremely slow. Doesn't even feel like that Mac I got..
Now my problem is - I don't have the Leopard CDs that came with it, nor the iWork or iLife ones which I bought with, or the Snow Leopard one which I got later.
I also don't see Apple offering the Lion download on the App Store anymore..so, can anyone please help me out with how I can do this?
Another thing I want to mention is - I had my display replaced at the Apple Store late 2011 because of that defect which apparenly affected many MacBook Pros from that period.
So was wondering if there might be any hardware issues if I downgraded all the way down to Leopard? Because at the time of the replacement, the laptop was running Lion.
Any help is great, thanks!

1) You don't see Apple offering Lion for download from the app store anymore because you already downloaded it to your computer. Hold down the option key then click on purchases and it should appear. I don't know why they hide it after you bought it?
Ref: http://osxdaily.com/2011/08/02/re-download-mac-os-x-lion-from-app-store/
2) Don't install Lion right after you download it from the app store! Make a copy and put it in a different directory first! I use this tutorial to make a bootable usb and a dvd for backup just in case. This will give you the "clean" install you are looking for.

Mountain lion update slowed down my macbook pro

hey guys,
I just updated to mountain lion
however, after the installation, my macbook pro has been noticably slow.
slow booting, slow when operating installed programs, chrome/safari got slowed down as well.
Also it freezes for couple of seconds and i was wondering why.
If any of u r experiencing same problems or know how to fix it please kindly let me know!
Thank you!

Have tried everything possible, repairing permissions etc to no avail.
You haven't tried everything possible or you would have a solution. If you tried the most extreme possible solution (erasing the hard drive, then reinstalling the system and nothing else) and still had the same problems, you would have discovered that you almost certainly have a hardware problem. For some solutions that you haven't tried yet, I'll refer you to the same two links I referred sylee48 to.
As for that article, that's an extremely unprofessional piece of writing. They publish - as if they were fact - the conclusions of untrained, non-technical users who do not have the necessary expertise to make such conclusions. And they concluded that these were bugs that Apple should be working on.
In fact, this may be one of the smoothest upgrades I've seen in a while. (Boy-oh-boy, you should have seen the screaming here for the Snow Leopard and Lion upgrades! It's positively peaceful in this forum compared to that.)

I just updated to a new MacBook Pro. I transferred my ITunes along with most of my programs from my previous MacBook. I then tried to update my iPhone and iPad and was informed I cannot connect these devices to my iTunes. How do I fix this?

I updated to a new MacBook Pro and transferred my iTunes along with many of my programs.

Perhaps you would post the exact message?
And when exactly did you receive this message?

Sorry, but that opportunity has long passed. Your options now are:
Upgrading to Lion
If your computer does not meet the requirements to install Mountain Lion, it may still meet the requirements to install Lion.
You can purchase Lion by contacting Customer Service: Contacting Apple for support and service - this includes international calling numbers. The cost is $19.99 (as it was before) plus tax. It's a download. You will get an email containing a redemption code that you then use at the Mac App Store to download Lion. Save a copy of that installer to your Downloads folder because the installer deletes itself at the end of the installation.
     Lion System Requirements
       1. Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7,
           or Xeon processor
       2. 2GB of memory
       3. OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
       4. 7GB of available space
       5. Some features require an Apple ID; terms apply.
Upgrading to Mountain Lion
To upgrade to Mountain Lion you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 or Lion installed. Purchase and download Mountain Lion from the App Store. Sign in using your Apple ID. Mountain Lion is $19.99 plus tax. The file is quite large, over 4 GBs, so allow some time to download. It would be preferable to use Ethernet because it is nearly four times faster than wireless.
     OS X Mountain Lion - System Requirements
       Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Mountain Lion
         1. iMac (Mid 2007 or newer)
         2. MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer)
         3. MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer)
         4. MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer)
         5. Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer)
         6. Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer)
         7. Xserve (Early 2009)
     Are my applications compatible?
         See App Compatibility Table - RoaringApps - App compatibility and feature support for OS X & iOS.
     Am I eligible for the free upgrade?
         See Apple - Free OS X Mountain Lion upgrade Program.
     For a complete How-To introduction from Apple see Apple - Upgrade your Mac to OS X Mountain Lion.

I am qualified for the free version of lion...once I took a snap shot of my proof of purchase, it said it would send me a confirmation email with a code and it never did?

You will get a .pdf file with the Redemption Code in it in your registered email inbox. You will have to enter the Redemption Code into the Redeem link on the right in App Store.
You will also receive an additional email with a password to open the .pdf file from the first email.
Enter the password to .pdf file > Copy the redemption code and enter it in App Store > Enter your Apple ID and password in the App Store pop-up > Poof!!! Magic! Your OS X Lion icon shows up in your dock and the download begins!

HT4718 I had a copy of Mountain Lion on my late 2008 MacBook Pro, having replaced Lion which it came with. But the drive,crashed, so I replaced the drive and reinstalled Lion from the original disks I had. How do I get another copy of Mountain Lion?

A 2008 Mac won't have originally shipped with Lion. You need to install 10.6.8 on the computer, log into the Mac App Store with the Apple ID you used to purchase Mountain Lion, click on the Purchases tab, and download it.
