You may qualify for the Up-to-Date Program if you bought your Mac from Apple or an Apple Authorized Reseller on or after June 11, 2012.
explains it all. If it does not meet the date above then you have to purchase it at $19.99 I think

  • Do I have to pay to upgrade my Macbook to Lion After paying to Upgrade my Mac?

    Do I have to pay to upgrade my Macbook to Lion After paying to Upgrade my Mac?  Or does Apple allow you to pay once to upgrade both?

    No, you buy it once and you can install it on both your macs.  Just sign in the App store on the second Mac with the same AppleID and you go to the Purchased tab.  You can install it from there.
    If you make a copy of the installer the first time you download it then you can use that without having to download 4Gigs again.  The last step of the install process deletes this download so copy before installing.

    Bad choice, since the cost is exorbitant. Snow Leopard ($29 USD) is available from its online store's telesales agents.[1-800-MY-APPLE (1-800-692-7753) or Customer Service and Sales Support at 1-800-676-2775.]
    Additionally, you can get a MAS redemption code via the same route. See https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4140947?tstart=0 for details.

  • Have macosx 10.5.8 model iMac7,1  can I upgrade to osx Mountain lion?

    I have a Mac osx 10.5.8
    model: iMac
    model identifier iMac7,1
    Intel Core 2 Duo
    2.4GHZ
    Can I upgrade to osx mountain lion Or to something higher than what I currently have and if so how?
    Thanks!

    Start by checking if you can run Snow Leopard:
    Requirements for OS X 10.6 'Snow Leopard'
    http://support.apple.com/kb/SP575
    The OS 10.6 Snow Leopard install DVD is available for $19.99 from the Apple Store:
    http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
    and in the UK:
    http://store.apple.com/uk/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
    but nobody knows for how long it will be available.
    When you have installed it, run Software Update to download and install the latest updates for Snow Leopard to bring it up to 10.6.8.
    You should now see the App Store icon, and you now need to set up your account:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4479
    To use iCloud you have to upgrade at least to Lion, but some functions are only available in Mountain Lion:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4759
    You can also purchase the code to use to download Lion (Lion requires an Intel-based Mac with a Core 2 Duo, i3, i5, i7 or Xeon processor and 2GB of RAM, running the latest version of Snow Leopard), or you can purchase Mountain Lion from the App Store - if you can run that:

  • If i buy a macbook pro but is preinstalled with lion do i have to pay a further amount for mountain lion?

    if i buy a macbook pro but is preinstalled with lion do i have to pay a further amount for mountain lion?

    Yes, when mountain lion first came out there was a peroid where if you had bought a Mac computer  in the last few months then you could get it for free. But becuase it's been out for a year i think now, thats not the case

  • How can i upgrade to OSX Mountain Lion other than from the app store?

    I am trying to upgrade to OSX Mountain Lion from OSX Lion but i get this message:
    "We could not complete your purchase. The product distribution file could not be verified. It may be damaged or was not signed."
    Further I am able to download other programs from the app store (like growl) but it does not work for Mountail Lion ????
    I looked through the forum and one post said that i have to use lion recovery to reinstall osX lion but then it defetes the objective of upgrading.
    Please help me
    Cheers

    If your system's not compatible with 10.8 and has at least a Core 2 Duo(not Core Duo) CPU, phone the online Apple Store and order a download code for 10.7.

  • After I upgraded to OSX Mountain Lion, QuickTime no longer auto names and auto saves, my recordings

    After I upgraded to OSX Mountain Lion, QuickTime no longer auto names and auto saves, my recorded files.

    HI,
    In Message Menu > Preference > Accounts you should at least have the iMessage Account (Which is Enabled) and th Bonjour one that most likely is not.
    After that if you had iChat type AIM valid Screen Names or Jabber IDs in an earlier OS then the System Preferences > Mail, Contacts and Calendars should list them and have them set to be used with Messages.
    There is a vague chance that you have not set these up yet (you can do it in Messages or Mail, Contacts and Calendars)
    Once you have a t least one other "Account" other than th iMessage one in Messages then the Buddy List option will appear next to CMD and 1 in the Window menu list.
    NEXT
    If you go to the General Section of the Messages Preferences you can unlink several Buddy lists if you have them (By default they are shown as one gathered Buddy list)
    I Have several Accounts logged in (AIM valid and Jabber ones)
    Uploaded with Skitch!
    And I separate them in to individual lists which then gives me this in the Window Menu

  • Mainstage always crashes before even start after I upgraded to OSX Mountain Lion. Doesn't matter if I use 32bit or 64bit mode. What to do? I bought Logic Studio 9 as a hard box at a retail store (including Logic Pro 9, Mainstage, Soundtrack Pro, Compresso

    Mainstage always crashes after I upgraded to OSX Mountain Lion. Doesn't matter if I choose 32bit or 64bit mode. I sent all the error reports to Apple but no help from there. I heard rumours that Mountain Lion creates the problem. With Lion I had no problem. Logic Pro runs without issues. So what can I do now? Do I have to reinstall Logic Studio and then download all the updates again? Hopefully not.. Any advice? Thanks to all! Ben

    Try delete the mainstage preferences
    from USER/library/preferences   com.apple.mainstage.plist
    even if you are running mainstage 2.1.3 and not 2.2.2  it should work with mountain lion

    Try using one of these video players. VLC usually works with most files.
    Video Player - Divx

    Yes, it is. But not all 3rd party plugs are compatible yet and fail AU validation.

  • USB- hub stopped working after upgrading to OSX Mountain lion

    I have a macbook pro 13 inch, year 2011.
    On my desk, I attach it to a thunderbolt display. To those USB-ports, I attached the belkin desktop USB hub (model F4U017) with 7 USB ports.
    All worked fine and without a glitch untill I upgraded to OSX Moutain Lion.
    Suddenly it won't connect annything I plug into it.
    All the cables of the hubb still work fine, those have been tested.
    When I tested the hub with a very old iMac (i think still with leopard it), it worked again.
    To be sure, I also tested a 4-port hub without external power supply on moutain lion. That one still works fine.
    How come my 7-port hub won't work any longer? How can I make it work?

    Not sure.  Might be an issue with the USB drivers in mountain lion.
    I've had an issue with a couple hubs not working after plugging back into my macbook pro while it's on.
    Fixed by restarting my computer, but that's super annoying and takes me back to my Win 95 days.  Never saw this issue before I upgraded to mountain lion.

  • Will upgrading to osx mountain lion upgrade my Logic Pro 9.1.6 to 9.1.7?

    I wanna know if upgrading m computer to osx mountain lion will upgrade my Logic Pro to it's current update to 9.1.7.
    I wanna upgrade to the new osx im worried if it will update all my software as well

    First, you can (and should) always back up your copy of Logic before updating, that way you can always go back to the earlier version if you need it.  If you do that you might as well update to the latest version of Logic.
    Going to 10.8 won't update Logic, but you'd probably want to update Logic (and most other apps) to the newest versions if you do a major OS update like that.

  • I have a virus  JAVA in my OSX mountain lion

    Hi again I stall the OSX mountain lion and sometimes I get a notice telling me I have to install a java application. what i do for errase that?

    Its not a virus at all. It's a separate runtime for a different programming code called Java. This is similar to Flash for Web browsers to view some online content. If you need it to run various programs, then install it. If not, then dont.
    Again, it is not a virus or malware in any form, and does no good to describe it as such.

  • After upgrading to OSX Mountain Lion, I cannot upgrade iMovie. I get a message that says that I have updates available for other accounts. Any suggestions?

    After upgrading to Mountain Lion 10.8.2, I'm not able to update iMovie. I think this app came with my MacBook Pro, late 2011. Any help is greatly appreciated!

    First, see > http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4236?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US
    If it doesn't work, open App Store > Featured > Account > Show hidden purchases, and show iMovie to be able to update this application. If nothing work, contact with App Store support > http://www.apple.com/support/mac/app-store/contact
