Bought iMac in October 2013, will the upgrade for Mavericks be free for me?

We just bought the new iMac from www.apple.com. When Mavericks is possibly released later this month, will that OS update be free for recent iMac purchases? I realise this may have the Osborne Effect, so please feel free to ignore. Learned about this effect from CBC just this morning, so I'm trying to use it.
Thank you!

Apple has not announced information on the release date for Mavericks or information regarding free upgrades and the time of purchase requirements for computers. All we, as fellow users, can say is wait until Apple releases that information.
If past behavior is any indicator, purchases within 30-days have been given the codes for free updates, and at any rate, the updates have only cost $20 (US), not a significant amount.

My 5th generation iPod (bought in April of 2013) will quit unexpectedly. It will take for ever to load what I write while texting. It also just goes to the black screen with the Apple logo. I'm not sure what to do.

My 5th generation iPod (bought in April of 2013) will quit unexpectedly. I can't do app store apps (like snapchat or facebook, ect.) or apple apps (like Camera, Safari, ect.)It will take for ever to load what I write while texting. It also just goes to the black screen with the Apple logo. I'm not sure what to do.

Try This...
Close All Open Apps... Sign Out of your Account... Perform a Reset... Try again...
Reset ( No Data will be Lost )
Press and Hold the Sleep/Wake Button and the Home Button at the Same Time...
Wait for the Apple logo to Appear...
Usually takes about 15 - 20 Seconds... ( But can take Longer...)
Release the Buttons...
If no joy...
Reset all settings
Settings > General > Reset > Reset all Settings.
This will return all iDevice settings to factory defaults... you will not lose any data.... But you will have to re-enter all of the device settings.
If the issue persists...

If you bought the MBP new 3 weeks ago, it should have come with Mountain Lion already installed. Did you update your MBP to the newly released 10.8.4 update? If not, what OS were you running before the upgrade, and what version of Mountain Lion do you have now?

I RECIVED AN EMAIL FROM ADOBE AS : As good will gesture, we can help you with the upgrade for PSE 13.

Compare with on-line stores. The full version is often cheaper than Adobe's upgrade price.
See this example from Amazon, but check pricing in your own region.

Will the upgrade to Photoshop

Will the upgrade to Photoshop and Lightroom CC align with the Apple MacBook release of Yosimite OS ? Please advise.

Are you asking whether the current release of Photoshop will work on Yosemite? Or whether there will be an update that coincides with the release date of Yosemite?
As a fellow user I can't speak for Adobe and I can only offer observations...
Adobe doesn't march to the beat of other companies' drums, but they've been known to acknowledge new operating system releases and put out updates to ensure their software works. That's assuming it doesn't work right out of the box of course. The one thing they really never do ahead of time is promise particular release contents or dates, though they do release updates through the Creative Cloud system fairly often.
Some folks have reported problems here on the forum with Photoshop on beta versions of Yosemite. That may mean nothing because people don't often go to a forum to say "it works!" and there are people reporting problems with Photoshop on older versions of OSX as well. But it's important to note that a failure of an application to work on a beta operating system necessarily needs to be taken with a grain of salt.
Here's a suggestion for a strategy (not necessarily aimed at you in particular, sailor dan):
Wait until Yosemite has actually been released, but don't install it. Then come here and find out how well others are finding Photoshop to work with it. Do the same with other major applications you need. Nothing says you have to upgrade your operating system first THEN find out if your apps work.
You're right to be planning ahead. Just don't be blinded by a desire to get the latest and greatest until you've confirmed the integration of all the software you need can work properly.

Will I still be able to use ilife, iwork or any of my applications after the upgrade to Maverick? I currently have version 10.6.8. Thanks!

The ONLY stuff that should give you trouble is anything that requires Roestta to run. iLife apps can be upgraded for free, and iWork 09 should still run. Office 2011 and Adobe Creative Suite CS5 and CS6 run like before on my Mini.

Click the "Upgrade Eligibility" link on the right side (under "Learn more about buying iPhone) here:

If you're not eligible for upgrade, it will tell you how much more than US$199 you will be charged.

I could not install the upgrade for iTunes and Error message said "can't start because MSVCR80.dll is missing" Reinstallling has not helped. Is it Apple's fault?

I could not install the upgrade for iTunes and Error Message said " Can't start because MSVCR80.dll is missing". Reinstalling has NOT helped. . Is the fault with the Apple iTunes upgrade?

Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features (later)
Remove all of these items in the following order:
iTunes
Apple Software Update
Apple Mobile Device Support (if this won't uninstall move on to the next item)
Bonjour
Apple Application Support
Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.
The uninstall and reinstall process will preserve your iTunes library and settings, but ideally you would back up the library and your other important personal documents and data on a regular basis. See this user tip for a suggested technique.

- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.

Can not print with HP LaserJet 6L since the upgrade to Mavericks.

Can not print with HP LaserJet 6L since the upgrade to Mavericks. Any alternative driver for this printer?

I have an HP LaserJet 5P and had the same problem. My LaserJet is connected to a D-Link ethernet print server, then to an Airport Express to support wireless printing.
As recommended in earlier posts, I first downloaded the Gutenprint HP drivers at Sourceforge, version 5.2.9 That did not work. Then found the reference to the Apple kb here: http://support.apple.com/kb/dl907
Downloaded these drivers. When setting up the printer, I got the autoselect option for Generic Postscript Printer and used that. Printer worked, but printed out garbage. I then deleted the printer, and this time selected the HP LaserJet 5P CUPS + Gutenprint v.5.2.9 THAT WORKED! I don't know if was the combination of downloading the drivers from Sourceforge and the Apple kb, or just the Apple kb that solved the problem, but I'm glad this is now sorted.
I was a bit surprised when I hit this snag to begin with because the last upgrade I did from Lion to Mountain Lion, I did not have this issue. It was seamless.

I pay for upgrading ifindyou and it doesn't work!!!! it clearly says that it tracks only your mobile in the lite version, after you ask the upgrade for all the mobile... can we call this a fraud????
