Bought a new HDD, but did not come up with OSX Lion. Will I be able to upgrade it for free?

So my HDD in my iMac had a failure, and so I brought it to Apple's Repair Center.
The technician suggested me to buy a new HDD, and so I did.
However it does not come up in OSX Lion.
Will I be able to upgrade it for free?
There's an online upgrade in the apple website, but when I submit the request, it did not recognize the serial number.

Sorry, no.
Customers who purchase a qualifying new Mac Computeror an Apple Certified Refurbished computer from the Apple Online Store on or after July 21, 2011 that does not include OS X Lion can upgrade to OS X Lion for free.

    Hi there,
    Firstly, try a hard reset. Hold the sleep/wake and home buttons together until the Apple logo appears.
    If this doesn't work, try restoring your device. Put it in recovery mode if iTunes doesn't recognise it, and restore it from there. I have linked to instructions below.

    Let me know if this helps,

  • I need to upgrade Snow Leopard to get icloud before my mobileme expires at the end of June.  If I buy Lion, will I be able to upgrade to Mountain Lion free when it comes out?  When is MLion going to be released in UK?

    I am running Snow Leopard and have a Mobile Me account.  My Mobile Me account expires at the end of June.  I have been told that I will need to buy the Lion upgrade to run icloud on my imac, but I am aware that Lion is due to be replaced by Mountain Lion this summer.  I don't want to have to buy two up grades!  Will Mountain Lion be released before my mobile me account expires?  If not and I buy the Lion upgrade, will I be able to upgrade it to Mountain Lion, free, in view of the fact that I will only have had Lion for a very short time and could not avoid this purchase??????

    HI...
    We have no way of knowing exactly when Mountain Lion will be released. Most likely, if you upgrade to Lion now you'll be able to upgrade to Mountain Lion, but the actual minimum requirements are unknown at this time.
    Lion is only $29.99 plus any applicable taxes and fees and available from the App Store, or you can purchase the thumb drive > OS X Lion USB Thumb Drive - Apple Store
    Make sure your Mac meets Lion's requirements.
    Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7, or Xeon processor
    2GB of memory
    OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
    7GB of available space

  • I just bought the new iphone5 but I cant sync it with my computer. I need to download the latest version of itunes but it wont work. Right now I have itunes 10.6.3 I tried to download but it says I need a newer version and I cant do it.

    For some reason when I go to update my old itunes version (10.6.3) it wont let me get the new itunes11. I need a newer version of itunes but when I go on my computer to download and get things updated it says it has no new updates. I now have a new phone, since my iphone4 broke and I cant use it because everything it outdated and now I don't know how to update anything. It's taking me all day just to get a working phone!!!

    The requirement shoul be on the box the iphone came in.  they are also on the website
    Syncing with iTunes on a Mac or PC requires:
    Mac: OS X v10.6.8 or later
    PC: Windows 7; Windows Vista; or Windows XP Home or Professional with Service Pack 3 or later
    iTunes 10.7 or later (free download from www.itunes.com/download)"

  • Brand new iPod touch did not come with iOS 8

    Just got a new 16 GB 5th Generation iPod touch.  Not only does it not have iOS 8, I cannot get it to update from 7.1.2.  Why is Apple advertising the latest iOS on these devices but selling them with an older operating system?  Did they actually sell me an older iPod?

    iOS 8 was released on September 17, 2014. It is possible that you got one that was manufactured prior to that time. They don't go back and unbox them all and upgrade them. Similar thing happened to me with a MacBook Air that I bought shortly after an operating system was released. It should however be easily updated. You may be able to get help with that issue here or from Apple support or return it if still in the return period.

  • Repmanger did not come installed with oracle 10.2.0.1.0g

    Hi,
    I am trying to recreate the configuration files and repository for Database Console.
    i.e. I run the following command:
    emca -config dbcontrol db -repos recreate
    The error message I get when running the command is:
    17-Mar-2008 12:03:50 oracle.sysman.emcp.util.PlatformInterface executeCommand
    CONFIG: Starting execution: CMD /C C:\oracle\product\10.2.0\client_1\sysman\admin\emdrep\bin\RepManager.bat -connect (DESCRIPTION=(ADDRESS_LIST=(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=TCP)(HOST=MACHINE1)(PORT=1521)))(CONNECT_DATA=(SERVICE_NAME=DB1))) -repos_user SYSMAN -action drop -verbose -output_file C:\oracle\product\10.2.0\client_1\cfgtoollogs\emca\CHARM\emca_repos_drop_2008-03-17_12-03-50-PM.log
    17-Mar-2008 12:03:50 oracle.sysman.emcp.util.PlatformInterface executeCommand
    CONFIG: Exit value of 1
    17-Mar-2008 12:03:50 oracle.sysman.emcp.util.PlatformInterface executeCommand
    CONFIG: The system cannot find the path specified.
    The error message is correct I do not appear to have Repmanger.bat in the location specified or anywhere else. In fact I don't have the "emdrep\bin\" directories. I checked the live server, development server, backup server for the files/directories, and client install disk (got from oracle downloads) but they don't appear there either.
    Does anyone know how I can hold of the files?
    Regards,
    Andrew

    I see you obviously invoke the command from a client ORACLE_HOME environment. Database Console is part of a server installation, I also cannot find repmanager.bat in a client home, but in a server home only.

  • If i purchase a macbook pro with snow leapord, will i be able to upgrade it to lion when lion comes out?

    i just need to know if upgrading the os of a macbook pro is as simple as that of an iphone or ipad. I would like to buy an macbook today, but if upgrading it is to big of a hassle i will make do with my iphone and ipad till lion releases this summer

    is as simple as that of an iphone or ipad.
    No one here can answer that because it's not out yet.  Speculation is against Apple Discussions Terms of Use which you agreed to when you signed on this site.

  • HT4972 I have an iPad-3, 16 GB with WIFI. Will I be able to ugrade from the iOS5 to the new iOS 6?

    I have an iPad-3, 16GB with wifi. Will I be able to upgrade from iOS5.1.1 to iOS 6 Can I change from wifi to subscription?
    Thanks a bunch
    Ron685

    Can I change from wifi to subscription?
    What do you mean by subscription? If you mean 3/4G with GPS, then no. The iPad hardware can't be upgraded.
    iOS 6 will not be available until Oct-Nov 2012.

  • I recently bought a new macbook and installed Acrobate Pro. My settings/preferences did not come over and I do not have the same style options for my signature.  It now only allows me three options and the style I have been using for the last year is not

    I recently bought a new macbook and installed Acrobate Pro. My settings/preferences did not come over and I do not have the same style options for my signature.  It now only allows me three options and the style I have been using for the last year is not there.  How do I add additional options and get my preferred signature style back?

    Hi Amanda ,
    Which version of Acrobat are you using?
    Which signature style are you talking about?
    You can go ahead and try uninstalling and reinstalling it and see if that works for you .
    Use the cleaner tool to uninstall it .Here is the link.
    Download Adobe Reader and Acrobat Cleaner Tool - Adobe Labs
    You can refer to the following link to re install it .

    Please help.
    I bought the IMAC 21.5" /2.5QC /2X2GB /500GB /6750M sept2012. After the automatic update run when restart computer the screen is on the gray screen with the logo and wont' do anything else. I tried to reboot holding the shift key without success. The package did not come with a CD so I can not reinstall the previous system.

HELP PLEASE, how can I get the previous system so I can reinstall it? I do not mind loosing data but I need to work on it. PLEASE HELP! Thanks!

    Try booting into the Recovery HD which is on the HD. Restart holding down Command+r and at the screen with four choices select Disk Utility>Macintosh HD and click on 'repair disk'. If any changes are made click on repair disk again until you get a clear pass. Restart as normal from the Apple menu.

  • Bought a MacBook air but it did not come with the updates

    I bought a MacBook air today, and it did not come the software updates, everything on the dock looks really dated. Is this okay? I bought a different MacBook air earlier this week and it came with all the software updates, the one I purchased today is not updated whatsoever. Is this normal? Should I take it back and ask why it didn't have the updates? Or do I conitnue updating to it on my own?

    It sounds as if you did not purchase your machine through an authorized Apple dealer.  So I wonder, for example, if you actually purchased the very latest MacBook Air (2014 model) in a factory sealed box.  I recommend you make your purchase from an authorized Apple dealer.
