i participated in the mountain lion free upgradde for new owners but i cannot open the content code because the password is too long! HELP!

What happened was that the password was 32 characters long and the field that they give you to use would not allow you to manually type those characters in (crazy huh?) but it took it when i copied and pasted it in!

I am very frustrated and just want the great software to download in a resonalbe time!

    Take your Mac to a location with a fast, relaible Internet connection that will be all yours during the duration of the download.
    If you want to complain, PLEASE call Apple and do so.
    Internet only downloads of OS X is completely stupid, it assumes everyone has reliable Internet everywhere and /or no data caps.

    Mountain lion free upgrade menu is fade away. I want to upgrade my macbookair

    You probably have exceeded the maximum time and now will have to pay ($20) for the upgrade. However you can attempt to contact AppleCare and see if they will allow a free upgrade. It might be worth the   phone call.

    Plz Help

    You are not alone in this, Maddy. I had the same thing happen. Apple obviously sent incorrect codes that redeemed for OS X Server instead of Mountain Lion. I called Apple Care who said that it must be some server fluke and that they would get back to me within 24 hours.

  • Question about Lion/Mountain Lion installation on a new Mac

    How is Lion/Mountain Lion installed on brand new Macs? Is it freshly installed from scratch or are they done by way of upgrade like when you buy it from the app store? Thanks.

    When I got my new Macbook Pro (with Lion already installed), I purchased a 16GB USB Flash Thumb Drive, than used SuperDuper (or was it Carbon Copy Cloner) to copy the mostly original contents of the new Macbook Pro to the USB Thumb Drive.  And because I'm the paranod type when it comes to backups, I did it again, on a SD Card and did it again.
    I also used the Lion Recovery Disk Assistant to put a recovery partition on a few external devices (including the USB Thumb Drive and the SD Card), so I have multiple ways to recover Lion should something go "Bump in the Night".
    As to how Apple gets the OS on the disk, my guess is that at the factory they clone a master image onto the disk using a very fast sector by sector copy or a utility similar to SuperDuper or Carbon Copy Cloner (but most likely something of Apple's creation).

    It'd be really helpful it you told us what the upgrade is, which Mac you currently have, and what OS you're currently using. And you only need to say it once.

  • Mountain Lion Free upgrade error

    I tried the mountain lion free update page,  I answered all the questions and it keeps indicating in red to correct the number of "right to copy" computers.  I entered one and it still gives me an error.  I purchased my new Mac online on July 16, 2012
    I am also working off of wifi if this has anything to do with the error.

  • Mountain Lion free upgrade problems

    I bought my new macbook pro 13 in on fri, 13 of Jul, and I want the free upgrade to Mountain lion, but it won't let me type in my country.
    Also, what is "right to copy"?

    http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2407769,00.asp
    Click the link above. It will tell you about the problems with codes/etc affecting Mountain Lion.
    I decided I'm going to wait it out before making the upgrade, especially because last year so many people were downloading at the same time, it was slow.
    Hope this helps you.

  • Mountain Lion free upgrade eligibility denied

    I keep getting emails from apple saying a proof of purchase was not provided in order to get my free upgrade to mountain lion. I had already scanned my receipt. The full receipt has the date, my name, and the last four digits of my debit card, verifying that I paid for it. Please help!

    I've been getting the same emails...
    I can't believe how poorly Apple has managed this whole process. Very disapointed... will be making a call to address this. I have so far provided every peice of information available to me and they have still rejected my claim.

  • Mountain Lion - free upgrade

    Greetings
    I applied for my free upgrade to Mountain Lion on 25th July and have not received anything as yet. I read on this forum that upgrade codes will take between 24 and 72 hours to process. My application has well exceeded that. I was given a reference number and am wondering if there is anyway I can query this. Thank you.
    Regards
    Ric

    I would call the Apple Support, as people have stated it sped up their time of receiving the code, especially since its been more than 5 days since you received your reference code.

  • Mountain Lion Free Upgrade Codes Missing

    Argh!
    I'm on my 3rd day now and no codes are appearing for my free upgrade.
    You'd think spending >$5500 on 2 MacBook Pros would qualify me for something other than Frustration.
    Serves me right for being an iDiot.

    I just checked, system profile says: APPLE SSD SM512E, sorry.  I guess the "512" should of been a clue.  Only 41% full which is such a delight after being over 80% full with my old MBP HD.
    I'm surprised your wait has been so long.  Both the machines I picked up I simply walked into the Huntsville, Alabama Apple Store, paid, set up, and walked out.  I don't know if being a business customer helped me.
    Nce drive - you've got the SAMSUNG 830 series - very fast.....Hope that's what I get......
    Mine took so long because I ordered it with the 768GB drive.....Didn't want to end up with something smaller since i couldn't upgrade it in the future...
    I too like the idea that it's pretty light since I travel a lot too...
    Thanks for sharing......Have a good day...

  • Mountain Lion FREE update for MacBook Pro Retina 2012

    Hello, looking for an honest support.. I bought my Macbook Pro Retina 2012 on this 15 July 2012 from Apple's authorised premium reseller of Bangladesh (Executive Machines Ltd.).. I just knew & saw yesterday that Mountain Lion was published & it is FREE for the buyers who bought the new qualifying machine (as my one is!).. so I just followed the apple.com eligible link and provided my details (address of my current residence which happens to be "Bangladesh", country, city & my valid macbook pro "serial number"..).. after that received a claim reference number mentioning that the FREE redeem code will be emailed to me after checking my claim has been validated.. but after carefully going through that eligibility link I noticed that claims are not eligible for outside US/ Canada.. and now I've provided my serial number & it has been used! and moreover, I did not recieve any email notification from Apple even after 24+ hours!.. what should I do now? .. do I need to buy this Mountain Lion once again even after I am eligible for the FREE update as Apple mentioned before or I just lost my free redeem opportunity as I bought it from outside US (event though from Apple's authorised reseller!!)?? please need honest suggestion..

    can i make a dmg file right after download? its really really long when using recovery and my ml from the regular macbook pro is not compatible with the retina and im not sure why it works well with other macs except for this one.  thanks so much. having a headache now on how to make it work.
    As you can only get OS X from Internet Recovery, you can't get the OS X Mountain Lion stored on the HDD and make a bootable volume with it. Also, you can't install the OS X version you have on your other Mac because the hardware of this MacBook Pro with Retina display isn't compatible with that OS X version.
    In your case, reinstall OS X and see what happens. If you can't reinstall OS X, take the computer to an Apple Store because you can't do anything with that MacBook Pro now
