Free upgrade possible?

This might be hopeful wishing, but I just bought my first Mac a little less than 2 weeks ago (MacBook Pro-15") and now I just saw, that for the same price, it's now 2GHz instead of the 1.83 that I just got. Is there any chance that I could be upgraded to 2ghz since I just bought it so recently? Or is it just stupid of me to think this?
MacBook Pro Mac OS X (10.4.6)

I can't find my receipt at the moment and I'm starting to second guess myself on when exactly I bought it. Is there any quick way of checking when I registered my computer?

Just bought Snow leopard 10.6.3 and upgraded my 2008 iMAC; now want to use the free upgrade to Maverick... is that possible? I read compatibility requirement of 10.6.8 or later...

Hi! Just bought Snow leopard 10.6.3 and upgraded my 2008 iMAC; now want to use the free upgrade to Mavericks like I was advised in the Apple/Switch store... is that possible? I read compatibility requirement of 10.6.8 or later...???? Thanks for any guidance!

Before installation you should back up all your data.
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, or download the combo update from here:
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1399
Check via Software Update whether any further updates are required, particularly to iTunes (you will need the latest version in order to synch with mobile devices).
You should now see the App Store icon in iTunes, and you now need to set up your account:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4479
You can now upgrade to Mavericks OS 10.9 for free IF you have one of the following Macs, with not less than 2GB of RAM, and at least 8GB of available space on your hard drive:
iMac (Mid-2007 or later)
MacBook (13-inch Aluminum, Late 2008), (13-inch, Early 2009 or later)
MacBook Pro (13-inch, Mid-2009 or later), (15-inch, Mid/Late 2007 or later), (17-inch, Late 2007 or later)
MacBook Air (Late 2008 or later)
Mac Mini (Early 2009 or later)
Mac Pro (Early 2008 or later)
Xserve (Early 2009)
iCloud system requirements:
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4759
If you cannot run Mavericks you can purchase the code to use to download Lion from the App Store (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):

I did the free upgrade of os x yosemite and was wondering if any of possibly deleting or uninstall it from my computer

Starting with me logging into my computer it takes atleast a good minute or 2 to log in. I have issues with bluetooth connectivity, internet is slow.. Not normal for a macbook. If there is any way i could just go back to whatever i had before.

It's possible something has become corrupted in your AppStore cache folder. I had the same problem that occurred after I did a partial download, paused it, and attempted to restart it again later. Here's how I fixed my problem:
Enable AppStore Debug menu:
1. Quit AppStore completely.
2. Run Terminal and enter the following on the command line: defaults write com.apple.appstore ShowDebugMenu -bool true
3. Restart the AppStore. You should see a new menu called "Debug".
Clear the download cache:
4. In AppStore, select Debug menu / Show Download Folder
5. Quit AppStore completely, but leave download folder open
6. In the download folder, select all files/folders, then delete them.
7. Restart AppStore. You may need to sign in to your Apple account again.
You may need to restart your computer to be able to delete the files from the trash.
You can then try the download again.

When I click on free upgrade to Mavericks it says 'we could not complete your purchase, The product distribution file could not be verified. It may be damaged or was not signed.' What should I do? Thanks

Several causes for this problem have been reported. Please take each of the following steps that you haven't already tried. Stop when it's resolved.
Step 1
If possible, test on another network, such as a public hotspot (if the computer is portable) or the hotspot created by a mobile device. A network gateway that blocks some traffic, most likely on a company or university network, could be causing the error.
Step 2
Back up all data.
From the menu bar, select
 ▹ System Preferences... ▹ Network
If the preference pane is locked, click the lock icon in the lower left corner and enter your password to unlock it. Then click the Advanced button and select the Proxies tab. If any proxy options are selected, make a note of them and then deselect them. You don’t need to change the bypass or FTP settings. Click OK and then Apply. Test. The result may be that you can't connect to any web server. Restore the previous settings if that happens.
Step 3
Rebuild the Spotlight index. If you try to search now from the magnifying-glass icon in the top right corner of the display, there will be an indication that indexing is in progress.
Step 4
Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to start and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually login automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

Puma 10.1 Free Upgrade (Can we still get our hands on this upgrade)

Wondering if it is possible for Apple to make available the 10.1 (free upgrade) that was sent to those of us who purchased Cheetah about 10 years ago. This seems to be an update in high demand based on other posts and I can't seem to find it anywhere.
Trying to update an iBook which was once at 10.4. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
Info found on the Mac Guides as I couldn't quite remember the chronology of the different releases:
From Mac Guides
Jump to: navigation, search
Puma is the codename for Mac OS X version 10.1. Puma was the second major release of Mac OS X, and remains the only one to be a free upgrade to users of Mac OS X 10.0.

If you can identify the iBook (G3 colors?) model, in the MacTracker database,
it will show you what the last supported OS X version operating system is.
*No iBook G3 or G4 "maxxes out" at only 128MB RAM.* Do you have an early
PowerBook G3? Use the serial number indentification site to narrow down
what you have; and then use MacTracker download (if you can) or Everymac
to see your computer. The info is spelled out rather well.
Without more information about that computer, others can't look it up for you.
With the product Serial Number, you could narrow down the build model and
year of manufacture; and that can be used to tell which one it is and what it
can support in the way of software and additional hardware updates.
All early iBook G3 (colors) models can support Panther 10.3.9; given the
data available for each model that I have cited and provided links to here.
You can upgrade the RAM to at least 512+ MB more by adding one chip.
You may need to upgrade the capacity of the hard disk drive if it only has
a 6GB hard drive; since you should have more to run OS X adequately.
The Apple Support pages relating to iBook hardware are not hard to navigate;
I've done so many times when I have a need to look up specific information on
a model of computer; get the MacTracker database, if you have a computer
the download can be used in. Have you looked into their web page? It helps.
From what I can find, in several sources, there is NO iBook whose RAM total
is only 128MB. I've just read through the MacTracker app I have in front of me.
Anyway, depending on what model iBook you have, it can support a later OS
X than the early and obsoleted 10.0, 10.1, 10.2; some can go with 10.3.9.
And no early OS X versions are necessary to use whatever last one the iBook
you have supports. They do not build on one-another; they are independent
and retail versions. And auction sites or resellers such as welovemacs, & other
may be able to help locate full install versions of the last supported OS installer.
You will have to try & use the information you have to access the great sites
available online, to get more information. If you do not have a computer with
a recent enough operating system (including windows XP/vista or mac 10.3+)
to use the download of MacTracker's database, check out the iBook info at
the http://everymac.com web site. All of the iBook G3/G4 computers and their
supported OS versions are listed.
Or try this site page:
• Apple iBook Specs (all iBook technical specs)
http://www.everymac.com/systems/apple/ibook/index-ibook.html
{You can see several iBook models, from first G3 on up to last G4.
Note there is a tiny triangle by each name; click it to read more.}
What color is the iBook? What processor version (speed) does it have?
Does it have an FireWire ports? If you can read System Profiler in either
the OS X in there, or OS 9, what is the capacity of the hard disk drive?
If you can find the Serial Number in the System Profiler, you can go online
and maybe find more about the computer from this (or other like it) site:
• Lookup Mac specs by Serial Number, etc - everymac.com:
http://www.everymac.com/ultimate-mac-lookup/
similar lookup site:
http://www.powerbookmedic.com/identify-mac-serial.php
Anyway, short of having the computer at my desk to do these things,
I really can't come up with the exact information without identification.
But you can do it fairly easily; and then post back the info (do not post
the serial number, just the results of what matches it) and what best
matches your computer as defined by MacTracker download, or by
the web site info in Everymac.com. This should be way simple.
So, to summarize; the computer probably never had OS X 10.4.0 in it.
If so, someone would have had to upgrade the RAM and hard disk drive.
And Tiger would probably have available to whoever installed it, in the
form of a retail install DVD or 4 CD set (this last item is like vaporware.)
And I have no way of knowing which of those Mac OS discs may be
actual full installer discs, or if they're from other Mac's software kits.
As it stands, I can't identify exactly the computer you have; but you
can. The links to web sites where data is easily gleaned are posted.
You have the means to resolve the questions; so I am done with this.
At this point, it would almost be easier to get an officially refurbished
Apple computer from their online store web site; they include software.
Good luck & happy computing!

Buy new mac w/free upgrade to Leopard?

Hello,
I know this is a long shot but if I buy a new Mac now is there any possibility that Apple will do a free upgrade to Leopard when it comes out? I know that Microsoft does this with it's operating system when you buy a computer nearing the date of the new OS arrival.
Thanks,
David

David, in the past Apple has offered a reduced upgrade to a new OS when you've bought a new Mac within a short window of time prior to the announcement. For example, Tiger's release was announced 25 days after I bought my PowerBook so I wound up getting a Tiger upgrade for $20 if I remember correctly.
But there's no guarantee Apple will do that with Leopard and, of course, we don't know when Apple will announce Leopard. My standard answer is always this: If you need the computer now, buy it. Waiting is a fool's game, you can always find a reason to delay your purchase. I had a friend who kept finding a reason to wait another month and that went on for 6 years!

What is the maximum ram upgrade possible on a Mid 2011 iMac 21.5-inch

I have an iMac 21.5-inch, Mid 2011 running OS X 10.9.5 which currently has 4 GB 1333 MHz DDR3 Ram. The Hard Drive has 149.87 GB free out of 499.25 GB. It has been running slow for a while now. I would like to know what is the "TRUE" maximum Ram Upgrade possible. The reason I say "TRUE" is because the specs say one things when I find others saying another. I would like to install the maximum Ram that will increase the speed to its optimum. I have read some information that this particular computer will not take advantage of anything past a certain amount of ram.
So with all that said, I am asking for specific numbers, types of ram, suggestions etc etc...
Thanks

Here's what you can do and need:
Maximum Memory
32 GB (Actual) 16 GB (Apple)
Memory Slots
4 - 204-pin PC3-10600 (1333 MHz) DDR3 SO-DIMM
Sources for memory I recommend are:
OWC
DataMem

Free upgrade to snow leopard - bought computer in 2009

I bought my computer with Leopard in mid 2009 - at the time Snow Leopard was just released and I understand they offered free upgrades at the time for recent purchases. Is it possible to get the free upgrade to Snow Leopard at this time and how do I go about gettting it?
thank you all

Im fuming. Because 1 week or so- before this 'Free Release'- I purchased a Snow Leopard Disk as a 'step' to upgrading to Lion... I am a long time MobileMe user PAYING for the privilege for over 5 years.
I had to do the 'upgrades' slowly, as I am currently unemployed (between jobs) and had to budget the new OS upgrade in... (I rely on my 'mobileme' account for business/employment)... And then they send it out for free... I get its $29.00. But- when you are unemployed $29.00 could be food for the next week. Or half a tank of petrol to get to interviews...
SOOOO ANNOYED.

After win 10 upgrade what to do with win 7 free upgrade disk

Is the windows 7 free upgrade that i got when i bought my l305-s5946 somehow linked with the windows 10 upgrade, or can i use it to upgrade a different toshiba laptop from vista to win 7 with out any problem.any info on this would be helpful. I bought a fixerupper laptop (same model), bought the vista recovery disks and was told that the free win 7 upgrade for that model was no longer available, so, i would realy like to upgrade it to win 7 if possible, with the upgrade that i already have that is not being used now.thanks

Try cleaning the lens and see if that will restore functionality to the DVD drive. Use a DVD lens cleaning disk, if you have a can of compressed air, shoot some into the slot or wrap a fine microfiber cloth (eyeglasses cleaning cloth) around a business card and insert it gently inside the slot.
If no success, make an appointment at an Apple store genius bar and get a free diagnosis from them.
Ciao.

I just got iphone 5c and i am not happy with it. It uses to much data and i don't even know how. I can't get the ringtones i want for my contacts.I got it on my free upgrade but i want to take it back and get something else but where i got it they say i can't because i don't have the earbuds and i have serches or them. now i am suck with a phone i don't like at all until my next upgrade. this is very dishearten

1. If you are this unhappy with that phone, and the lost earbuds is the only thing stopping you from taking it back, why do not just buy some earbuds. That way you can get rid of that phone. It all depend upon how much you want to get rid of that phone.
2. Yet if you are stuck with that iPhone, here is something might help you to control the data usage. By design, iPhones do turn off WiFi when they go dormant. So if a download is in progress and so forth when the phone goes dormant, it will switch to use cellular data, if this setting is left on. Therefore, from multi-sources I have learned that if you keep your iPhone connected to a power source, then it will stay connected to the available WiFi.

Free Upgrade from iPhoto 09 (Version 8.1.2)?

I'm confused on the new policy on iPhoto '11.
Here's my situation: Early 2009 iMac, running Mavericks. I have iPhoto 09 (Version 8.1.2) installed on the computer.
Based on this from Macrumors, it seems that I should be able to upgrade for free to the latest iPhoto. http://www.macrumors.com/2013/10/24/apple-offering-free-updates-to-all-users-of- aperture-iwork-and-ilife-not-worried-about-unethical-users/
Or this free upgrade for those users that already have iLife 11 installed?
Thanks and I apologize if I'm beating a dead horse here.

The free upgrade is for those who already have iPhoto 11 installed. You'll need to pay I'm afraid.

Is there a free upgrade from Lookout 5.0 to 5.1?

Folks:
I just got handed a project that uses Lookout. My customer currently has 5.0 and I was wondering if I should upgrade to 5.1 and how. Is there a free upgrade patch or something to do this?
Also, I am running on Win XP Pro (SP2); are there any major issues with 5.x on XP Pro?
thanks in advance,
