Can I use my mountain lion free upgrade on all my macs?

Can I get confirmation from someone who tried and succeeded to upgrade his macs without paying a license ?

Once you have ML in your purchases tab at the App Store, you can download it and install it in your other Macs, provided they're yours, and for personal non-commercial use. You can read about this in full in the license agreement (About my Mac menu option, then click on License Agreement)

Can I use a mountain lion time machine back up on new mavericks macs?

My macbook retina was stolen at my school. I was wondering because I used time machine having mountain lion, does it affect anything when if i purchase a mavericks macbook pro? the just announced one. I have all my pictures (iphoto) in that last back up. Can i use a mountain lion time machine back up on new mavericks macs? My macbook retina was stolen on August 16? So I don't know if there was an update on my mac that might affect it in any way...

It's ok you can use your ML TM to transfer your account. iPhoto library and other things will be upgraded when you open the apps.
At the end of the Apple article it says:
Migrating a Time Machine backup to a new Mac
When you get a new Mac, you can transfer all of your applications, files, settings, and other information from a Time Machine backup you've already made. When you start up your new Mac for the first time, the Setup Assistant asks you if you would like to restore from backup. If you've already set up your new Mac, you can use theMigration Assistant (located in Applications/Utilities) to do the same thing.
After Migration Assistant completes the transfer and you select your existing Time Machine backup drive, you will be prompted with "Inherit Backup History". Once selected you will be able to continue to use your existing Time Machine backup on your new Mac.

Mountain lion free upgrade menu is fade away.

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.

I participated in the mountain lion free upgrade for new mac owners but the password is too long to unlock the content code. HELP!!!

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!

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 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.

What Floppy Drive can I use with Mountain Lion to read and write floppy which can be read by SE30 with 7.1

I want to File Exchange between an iMac with 10.8.4 and a SE30 with 7.1.
All I want to do is install some software, such as Word 5.1 and a Chess game and some Fonts.
I have an external USB Floppy Drive but my iMac can only write to it IF I format as FAT, if I format it with the SE30 it can only be read and not written onto by the iMac.
Is there a way I can actually format/read/write Macintosh extended (HFS+) with Mountain Lion?
The external USB Floppy is a generic black one I bought from Amazon last week.
Someone else said I should get a Macally USB Floppy Drive and that reads/writes HFS+ etc with 10.8 no problem.
Is this because the Macally was released along with the Bondi Blue iMac?
I have tried using Apple Exchange on my SE30 - recorded some files onto the FAT formatted Floppy, and read it using Apple Exchange, but when 'translating' the Files transferred over as generic files which were no longer Macintosh programs or Files (eg Word 5.1 application or extensions/ Font suitcases etc) and could not be read.
Is there a way round this?
Or is there any way I can mount/read/write from the generic USB Floppy DRIVE with Sheepshaver (with 7.5.3)?
Any help or advice would be most appreciated.

>surely there must be some Terminal command or workaround for 10.8 to be able to Format in HFS?
Using dd to write an existing HFS disk image to a floppy may still work (but formatting/writing HFS from the operating system does not). You may want to compare this with the technique described in the article below. Obviously, this is only of interest if one wants to try creating floppies from certain (Disk Copy 4.2-style) downloaded 1.44 MB disk images.

>If I got hold of an old iBook or Powerbook G4 (my sister has one) could I plug the USB Floppy drive I have into one of these and copy files over this way?
At least according to the following Wikipedia article, writing HFS has not been supported since Mac OS X 10.6. This should mean that your idea with the USB floppy drive connected to one of the older computers mentioned could work. BTW, I do not think that the USB floppy drive type/make/model is of importance in this very context.
Another idea could possibly be to use an even older intermediate computer for other file transfer methods (without a floppy).
A PowerBook 520/520c/540/540c could run Mac OS 8.1, if at all necessary. It has built-in Ethernet (an external AAUI to RJ-45 transceiver is used), which would allow TCP/IP connections over a network. A LocalTalk connection to the SE/30 can be established via a plain Macintosh MiniDIN-8M to MiniDIN-8M printer cable. With the correct SCSI cable/adapter, one could also use the PowerBook as an external hard disk for the SE/30 in SCSI disk mode.
A PowerBook 5300 can run Mac OS 8.1 or higher, if necessary. It does not have built-in Ethernet, but a PC Card (PCMCIA) network card can be used. Furthermore, with an inexpensive PC Card adapter for CompactFlash and a CompactFlash memory card, the computer would have a simple removable "hard disk". The CF card (in Mac or PC format) can be read by a modern computer (a USB reader may be needed), making it ideal for file transfers. LocalTalk can be used here too, and so can SCSI disk mode (HD target mode).

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 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'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...
