Free Mountain Lion upgrade with new computer. How?

I was told at Apple store that I would receive a code to get a free upgrade for a new computer I purchased
on 8/15/12. It had Mac OS X 10.7.4  loaded and the free upgrade would be to Mountain Lion.
How does one get this code?

See Apple - Free OS X Mountain Lion upgrade Program.

  • Free Mountain Lion limited to new computer only?

    Hi all,
    I have a new Mac Pro that qualifies for the free Mountain Lion upgrade. Does anyone know if I'll be able to install it on my 2011 MacBook Pro too?
    If not, is there any point of going through the free upgrade process since I'll have to buy it from the Mac App store anyway? (which CAN be installed on multiple machines)

    Once you redeem your code and install ML on your new Mac Pro, the ML item in the MAS will show a Download button instead of $19.99.
    I can confirm this, because I logged onto my wife's early-2008 MacBook and the MAS showed a Download button for ML.  Her MacBook is not compatible with the update, however.

  • Free Mountain Lion upgrade w/ new MacBookPro purchase?

  • Why is it taking do long for my free mountain lion upgrade?

    I don't understand why I should have to apply for an upgrade when I bought the computer within the grace period for A free upgrade .Then after submitting the application I never even got a confirmation email. The whole reason I didn't just wait to buy the MacBook pro was because I was eligible for the
    Upgrade for free. If I don't receive my code today I will just return the machine and re buy a new one with mountain lion pre loaded.

    Welcome to the vaunted "Apple Experience".... If all 4 million of us (and did they really sell that many things eligible for an upgrade?)  showed up unannounced for a genius bar appointment at our Apple store to request our Mountain Lion upgrade redemptions, we could really get their attention.
    Right now it is rumoured that Apple is outsourcing the verification of our claims to DogBert's Elbonian workers at 31 cents an hour. They get to read our personal proofs of purchase and decide if they look real or fake. But because that process would be too involved, it has been reported that the Elbonians instead print out each claim, fold it into a paper airplane, and judge the validity of the claim by how far the paper airplane flies. Because it is Dogberts Elbonian workers who are using mountains of paper in this futile exercise, Apple can deny that they are personally responsible for mowing down whole forests to print these millions of proofs.
    If we all showed up at the Genius bar, Apple would instead be forced to have $8.45/hr. workers deal with our requests. And all they would be able to tell us is send a claim to Dogbert, so we wouldn't adversely impact Dogbert's workers. The Apple store blue shirts, unable to solve our problem, would at least be able to ask us how it feels to be an Apple owner, and offer consolation why trying to sell us a nano....
    Let's just hope the upcoming war in Elbonia doesn't get in the way of the codes....

  • Invalid code to upgrade to free mountain lion upgrade after purchasing a new mac

    Sorry if this is in the wrong section but after purchasing an iMac, I was told that I was eligible to receive a free upgrade to Mountain Lion,but after I entered the password to open the content code 'file' it said it was invalid. I recieved the code after following the instructions located here. Does anyone know why this is happening or how I can fix this? Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks.

  • Mountain lion upgrade for new iMac

    Hi All,
    I was reading about how if you purchased an iMac after 6/11, that you're eligible for a free upgrade to Mountain Lion.
    Customers must request their Up-to-Date upgrade within 30 days of purchasing their Mac computer. Customers who purchase a qualifying Mac between June 11, 2012 and the date when Mountain Lion is available in the Mac App Store will have 30 days from the OS X Mountain Lion release date to make a request.
    However, I'm not seeing how to go about requesting the upgrade. Here's the url that talksa bout the free update.
    http://www.apple.com/osx/uptodate/
    Any ideas?

    I would guess that a page would go live once ML is released.

  • If I buy Lion now (from the App store) will I get a free Mountain Lion upgrade?

    I haven't been able to find any definitive documentation on this. I have a MBP and Mac Pro at work and haven't upgraded either of them to Lion for various reasons. However, I have now been tasked with some App programming and need Lion. So, my question is - If we buy Lion from the App Store will we get a free upgrade to Mountain Lion?
    Thanks everyone!

    Mountain Lion will be upgradable from Snow Leopard, so if you have not yet purchased Lion then it may be worth it to just wait and not go through two upgrades.

  • Will i get a free mountain lion upgrade

    I am from india. I am looking to buy macbook pro 15inch base version today.
    As,the macbook comes with lion preinstalled will i get mountain lion a free upgrade ?
    Or should i buy the mountain lion.
    Please tell me.

    The free upgrade program ended some months ago, so if you buy a MacBook Pro with OS X Lion, you will have to pay $19.99 to upgrade to OS X Mountain Lion.
    In that case, and if you don't want to pay for Mountain Lion you have two options:
    1. Buy a MacBook with OS X Mountain Lion.
    2. Get your Mac with OS X Lion and upgrade to OS X Mavericks when it's released this fall. See > http://www.apple.com/osx/preview
    If you want to upgrade to OS X Mountain Lion, make a backup of your data

  • Am I really too late for the free Mountain Lion upgrade?

    Hi,
    I bought my new MBP retina on June 13th, and just discovered I should've ordered Mountain Lion before August 26th.
    Is it really true I have no chance of getting a free upgrade to Mountain Lion anymore?
    I just can't imagine this being true. 30 days is not a long time (I was on vacation for 3 weeks in August!), and I've
    never gotten a message or an alert from Apple to order within 30 days when it came out.
    I hope someone can enlighten me.

    Terms and Conditions

    This program entitles the purchaser of a qualifying product purchased on or after July 26, 2012, to upgrade to OS X Mountain Lion.

  • Upgrading with new computer

    I've been with Photoshop since version 2.5.1. I've upgraded both by receiving CDs and downloads from the Adobe website. I plan on buying a new computer and upgrading to PS CS6. How many of my older versions will I have to install to be able to buy an "upgrade"?

    I didn't actually understand the issue. For upgrading to PS CS6, you just need the previous version i.e. CS5.
    What exactly are you trying to convey?

  • How long before I get a confirmation number for my free Mountain Lion upgrade?

  • Sync ipod with new computer - How?

    My computer died and had been re config. therefore my old itunes does not exsist. I have installed v7 but when i connect my ipod I get the message " the ipod is synd with another itunes libary. I have transfered my puchased music to the new libary but how do I transfer all my tunes that were not purchased from the store.
    I do not have access to my original itunes libary. Only have it all on my ipod.
    Help!! I am pretty much a virgin user.

    Yes that will erase the songs but it would be illegal file sharing to keep them anyways.
    No harm, no foul.

  • My computer crashed, now with new computer, how can I retrieve my purchased itunes songs?

    Use the Transfer Purchases function in iTunes, or click here and follow the instructions.

  • Free mountain lion upgrade

    Im just wondering, who will get the mountainlion upgrade for free. I read somewhere from june 11th on. Is this correct? Hmmmmmmm

    I haven't received a redemption code yet, and I started this as soon as the site came up. Waiting an hour to save $20 doesn't make sense to me. My time is worth more than that. I think it's best just to purchase it, especially if you have more than one Mac.
    Apple seems to forget that 40% of the US population lives in the Eastern time zone, so if they release an update at 6:00 am their time, it's 9:00 am our time, when we are all hovering over our Macs waiting for the software to become available and hitting their servers at the same time. The load on their servers would be spread out better if they released it at 3:00 their time, 6:00 ours. I'm sure that can be automated, so no one has to get up early.

  • When will I receive my free mountain lion upgrade code

    I submitted my request yesterday.  Should'nt I get the email with my code soon? I thought it was a quick process.

    Yeah, Apple Support is telling everyone "up to 72 hours". Myself I am sitting at about 28 hours without a single email from Apple. If you do not receive it within 72 hours give support a call.
