Free OS X Mountain Lion if i brought it in December in 2012?
Hey guys.
I've heard, if i brought my MacBook Pro after a specific date, i would get a free OS X Mountain Lion.
Is that right and where do I get it if it's right?
Yes, if you bought from Apple or an authorized dealer.

I believe you have to claim within 30 days of your Mac purchase though.

fill out the form -
I participated in getting the free download of Mountain Lion for new Mac owners. It took me three days to finally get a code to do it and when I tried downloading it, the estimated time was 74 days 17 hours. Now an error occurred. What do I do? I am very frustrated and just want the great software to download in a resonalbe time!
Take your Mac to a location with a fast, relaible Internet connection that will be all yours during the duration of the download.
If you want to complain, PLEASE call Apple and do so.
Internet only downloads of OS X is completely stupid, it assumes everyone has reliable Internet everywhere and /or no data caps. -
How long does it take for Apple to send the content code for a free upgrade to Mountain Lion?
Has anyone managed to successfully receive the content code in their email for a free ugprade to Mountain Lion?
I bought my MBP on 14 July so I qualified for the free upgrade. Went to the website and filled in the form along with my serial number about 2 nights ago. Still haven't received my content code yet. How long does it take? Should I be speaking to someone already? Who?
Thanks.We are being advised it can take up to 72 hours !

I only got second email for free OS X mountain lion upgrade
I got approved for free OS X Mountain Lion upgrade but I haven't received first email that contain PDF file. but I got a email with password to open PDF.
any idea?I received TWO OS X Mountain Lion Up-to-Date Password Emails, but no email with the PDF content code on July 27, 2012.
The email said "If you did not receive an email from the OS X Mountain Lion Up-To-Date program with your content code, please check your spam filter settings for attachment restrictions and contact us at [email protected] to have this email and your content code re-sent."
I checked my spam folder & didn't see anything. I emailed asking for the content code email to be resent, just like the email said. I got what I assume was an automated response on July 31, 2012 (4 days later). That email said:
Thank you for contacting the OS X Mountain Lion Up-To-Date Support Team regarding your request to change the email address associated with your claim.
In order to change the email address, please send the following information to [email protected]
Your Claim reference number
Original email address
Revised email address
Requester name:
Requester address
Requester phone number
The reason I assumed it was automated is because the parts above in red were highlighted in my email. I emailed [email protected] again indicating that I just need the content code resent. I received the SAME automated email on August 2, 2012 (2 days later):

Same email, just different parts highlighted.
Apparently, email correspondence does not work since it thinks I want to change my email address. I'll have to call Apple Care directly to find out what is going on. -
I was in the process of redeeming my free upgrade to Mountain Lion today, and received a message in the "redeem" section of the App store that the redemption code had already been used. It hadn't been, unless there's a glitch in Apple's system that assigns codes. I accidentally clicked the submit button twice within a few seconds (believing I hadn't clicked it the first time, as nothing on the page indicated that I had submitted the form), as I was attempting to "redeem" my free upgrade.
Any ideas of what to do would be great. I'm brand new to the Mac world, and am interested in running the most up-to-date OS, especially since I've just procured the very top of the line new Macbook Pro w/Retina display, etc.
Thanks,The App Store has a forum area where experts await with answers:

How do I get my free copy of Mountain Lion?
I'm a very excited Apple customer because I received my MacBook Pro (Retina Display) today! Now that I have it, I would like to download my free copy of Mountain Lion! The only issue is, when I went to the website to enter in the purchase date, etc., I cannot proceed. I bought it online through the Apple Education Store, so I'm wondering (and this may be a simple question), but would that be considered an Apple Reseller (since I bought it through my school) or would the purchase be considered to be through the Apple Online Store? Thanks for helping me with this seemingly simple problem!
Congratulations on a sweet machine! I will eventually upgrade to Mountain Lion, but not until 2 or 3 months have passed to shake out the glitches, etc. that are invariably in a new product with this much complexity.
As to your question, I scanned this "community" yesterday and recall coming upon another Retina owner who was bemoaning the fact that he was still waiting for his email from Apple that would allow him to download his free upgrade to Mt. Lion.
Now, I have not done actual research into your situation, but thought I would pass along my findings of yesterday. Try searching in the forum for related postings. Good luck, and have fun with that Retina display!! -
How do I redeem my free copy of Mountain Lion?
I purchased a Retina Display MacBook Pro on Monday. Mountain Lion came out today, and I was told I would receive a free copy. I went to the Up-To-Date website, and submitted my information as well as my serial number at around 9 this morning.
Then... crickets.
So... what am I waiting for? How do I redeem my free copy of Mountain Lion? Do I need to purchase it and get reimbursed for the charge?
When I enter my serial number into the "check your service and support coverage" page on Apple Support, (https://selfsolve.apple.com/agreementWarrantyDynamic.do) it knows exactly what kind of Mac I have and when it was purchased... how come the Up-To-Date program can't figure that out and give me a redemption code immediately? I'm excited to upgrade to Mountain Lion... but I'm disappointed by having to wait.mende1 wrote:
I don't think it's false. Apple received a lot of requests and you will have to wait to have your redeem code. Nothing more, or buy it
Again... I'm not paying for something I was promised for free. That's ridiculous. And the marketing that was released was very clear that purchasers of new MacBooks would receive an upgrade to Mountain Lion "as soon as it's available."
It's available. Apple is unnecessarily waiting to give me what they promised. "False advertising" may seem like a really negative term, but it's accurate. I was promised something and it wasn't delivered. -
Sarà possibile eseguire su osx mountain lion 10.8.4 osx mavericks GRATUITAMENTE? ..........It will possible run osx mavericks free on osx mountain lion 10.8.4?
It won't run "on" Mountain Lion as it is a new OS. It will replace Mountain Lion. While pricing hasn't been announced, I doubt it will be free.

while downloading my free upgrade to Mountain Lion, my computer said "Error 403" occured and could not download the file. It gave me the option to retry and i pressed that button but the window continued to pop up telling me about the error so i pressed cancel and the entire download closed. I went back to try an redownload the fiel form itunes but it will not let me.
Do you mean App Store? I had the same error as you, but after a restart, it was there in my App Store under Purchases and I just downloaded it again.

I just bought a new iMac and I am new to the Desktop Mac. I read you can get a free upgrade to Mountain Lion if you bought your computer after June 11, 2012. Do I have to do something before Mountain Lion is released? If so What? Thanks
Just check in with this link when ML is released for instructions on how to claim your upgrade.

I recently purchased a copy of Lion, will I be eligible for a free upgrade of Mountain Lion?
I recently purchased a copy of Lion, will I be eligible for a free upgrade of Mountain Lion?
no, sorry.
However, Lion has some great features in and of itself!
you will have to purchase it for 20 dollars in the app store (USA price) to upgrade to ML, the redemption codes that you may be reacting to are for people who recently purchased a computer and were told that they would be able to receive a free download of ML when it is released to make sure their computers are up to date.
This allows apple to release the hardware before the latest software, but still offer the latest software for free, because they're cool like that .
I hope this helps -
