Free upgrade to Mountain Lion didn't download and now my code will not work again!

Okay so I bought a new MacBook Pro on Sunday and as Mountain Lion has only just come out and I have just bought my notebook I qualify for the free upgrade from Lion to Mountain Lion. After filling in all the required information I recieved my redeem code and it started to download. After several failed attempts with the same error message of "Hash Mismatch" appearing I finally gave up and left it for a day or so. As I have come on to my laptop today in an attemt to download to update, I have looked everywhere in App Store (purchases, downloads) and Mountain Lion is not anywhere. I have also tried to re enter the codes but it is saying that the codes have already been used etc.
So now I am stuck and do not know what to do and I really dont want to have to pay the money to get Mountain Lion when I should be able to get it for free.
Any help you could give me would be appreciated, even if it is just an apple support number that I could call and get everything sorted out.
Thank you.

After you press download, check your Launchpad. The icon will show up with what looks like a white dot where you'd expect to see a progress bar. That white dot actually is the progress bar, as ML is a 4GB download and can take anywhere from 1 to 15 hours, depending on your connection speed. On the average 1.5Mbps economy connection, it will take about 7 hours to download.

Are you using the Office for Mac 2011 version, as you need to do? The Office for Mac 2004 is Not at all compatible with Mountain Lion, and the 2008 version has been noted to have some problems running with ML.
Hope this helps

Attempted to redeem free upgrade to Mountain Lion today but App store said the code had already been used... though it hadn't

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:

Hi Deb,
Deauthorizing all is definitely the way to go. You will just need to authorize your computer again after, as well as your husband's.
Here's some additional information on deauthorizing all:

Just tried to upgrade to SnowLeopard with newly purchased software disc. iLife failed to download and when I tried to restart the computer, it will not do so--just get a grey screen with the lines going around and around. Any ideas about how to get it to start?

Graphics ATI Radeon HD 5870 1024 MB
Software Mac OS X Lion 10.7.2 (11C74)
This is a brand new machine that I just purchased from Apple. It was delivered yesterday
The old computer is an old PowerMac G5, but my OS X install disc is a retail version of 10.5.
I also tried the OS X 10.5 install disc that came with my MacBook Pro (2.6 Ghz Intel Core 2 Dual).

I just upgraded my iPad to 4.3.3 and now my apps will not open

The apps blink and will not open. any thoughts?? Come withs - iphoto, calendar etc. work fine. thanks for your help

This problem has been reported here a couple of times. The solution appears to be to download any new App, say a free one. This appears to resolve this problem.

I restored my iphone and updated it but the progress didn't complete and now my iphone is not working. i need help asap.

my phone was not working only the restore button was available so i restored it and they told me i have to update my iphone 5s as well. i waited till the end the update software was downloaded successfully but then the iphone restarted by itself and now its not working. the iphone screen is shown the picture when you first time open the phone to connect it to an itunes. i connected it by it not working, i restart everything still not working:( i need help asap please. thankyou

it seems like apple's activation servers have gone down under the weight of the overwhelming amount of activation requests. you will be able to activate your phone once the servers are able to catch up with the activation requests.

Upgraded from 10.2.8 to 10.3 now Epson CX6600 will not work

Ok fellas (and ladies) here is the story. My mother finally got around to upgrading from 10.2.x to 10.3.0 (now, via online upgrades, 10.3.9 I believe, but the current problem stems from the initial upgrade) only this last week. When she upgraded, she was no longer able to print to her Epson CX6600. It was still present, so to speak, but her iMac (G4)would never connect (just that beautiful pinwheel). Now i am just a new convert to Mac so I have no idea how to fix this. We tried using the uninstall program provided by Epson's install program. When we did this, and then subsequently installed again, it told us everything was still installed. Furthermore, when we went to add the printer back into the printer setup utility, OS X recognized the printer but said the drivers were not present.
The next thing we did was download the latest drivers. Would you believe the Printer Setup Utility still said no drivers present?
So does anyone have any ideas? My mother called Epson, they say its Apple's problem (nice fellows over there at Epson). Before I suggest to my mother to plop down the $49 American to talk to someone on the phone about this, I thought I would get the scoop from the real experts.
Thank you in advance for any time you put into this.
Cheers

Hi Again MnchstrCityBlues!
At this point, the best I can do, is give you instructions, on how to uninstall & reinstall the printer. I know you have already done that, but perhaps you may have missed a file or two.
I have an Epson C86, so some of the instructions may need to be modified for the CX6600.
Change my references to C86 to CX6600.
But the procedure should be the same.
*Download the most current driver from www.epson.com.
* Before moving the folder & files listed below, to a "Temporary Epson Trash Folder", open "Printer Setup Utility" and delete the C86.
* "Quit' "Printer Setup Utility"
* Move the files (Posted in Capitals) to the "Temporary Epson Trash Folder" on the Desktop
HD > Applications >
EPSON PRINTER UTILITY (Alias)
HD > Users > Your Home > Library > Preferences >
COM.EPSON.IJPRINTER.UTILITY.PLIST
COM.APPLE.PRINT.CUSTOMPRESETS.PLIST
COM.APPLE.PRINT.PRINTCENTER.PLIST
COM.APPLE.PRINT.PRINTERPROXY.INTERNAL_MODEM.PLIST
COM.APPLE.PRINT.PRINTINGPREFS.PLIST
HD > Library > Printers >
EPSON (Folder) Only move this folder if you have no other
Epson products
I also had a "OS X booklet.pdf" (Epson) that I had saved in my "Documents" folder. You will get a new one. After the installation, I replaced it. You may not have saved your original one. It's no big deal, there's really not much in it, In fact I don't remember ever opening it, before today!
* Quit ALL running Applications
* "Repair Permissions" using "Disk Utility" in the "Utilities" folder
* Dig out your Epson C86 "Start Here" instruction quick sheet, for reference
* Unplug the USB cable from the Mac & then the C86
* Re-attach the USB cable to the C86 & then the Mac
* Turn on your C86
* Double click on: "epson11518.sea.hqx" to unzip (This is the downloaded driver)
* Double click on: "epson11518.sea" to expand
* Follow the prompts & instructions
* When the "Vise" installer opens in a window, double click it to start the install
* When the installation is complete, turn off the printer & restart your Mac.
* "Repair Permisions" again
* Turn on the C86
* Open "Printer Setup Utility"
* "You have no printers available" will appear. Click "Add"
* Select "Epson USB" in the contextual menu
* Click on "Stylus C86" to highlight
* Add "Page Setup:" select "All", from the contextual menu
* Click "Add"
* Quit "Printer Setup Utility"
The images below, that are left on the "Desktop", can be trashed, unless you prefer to keep the installer.

You should be good to go!

I updated from Snow Leorard to Moutain Lion and now my internet will not recognise my password. All other comps use the network but my Mac upgraded Mac Mini keeps coming up with either 'timeout' or 'user or password not recognised' ...help!

Hello all
I upgraded from Snow Leopard to the latest Mountain Lion OS and now my Wifi will not work. When I try and insert the password to my Wifi network states either 'connection timed out' or 'password and/or user name not recognised' please help...!

Take each of the following steps that you haven't already tried, until the problem is resolved.
Step 1
Restart the router. Many problems are solved that way.
Step 2
Change the name of the wireless network, if applicable, to eliminate any characters other than letters and digits. You do that on your router via its web page, if it's not an Apple device, or via AirPort Utility, if it is an Apple device.
Step 3
From the menu bar, select
 ▹ System Preferences... ▹ Network
Click the Assist me button and select Assistant. Follow the prompts.
Step 4
Back up all data.
Launch the Keychain Access application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Keychain Access in the icon grid.
Enter the name of your wireless network in the search box. You should have one or more "AirPort network password" items with that name. Make a note of the name and password, then delete all the items. Quit Keychain Access. Turn Wi-Fi off and then back on. Reconnect to the network.
Step 5
You may need to change other settings on the router. See the guidelines linked below:
Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
Potential sources of interference
Step 6
Make a note of all your settings for Wi-Fi in the Network preference pane, then delete the connection from the connection list and recreate it with the same settings. You do this by clicking the plus-sign icon below the connection list, and selecting Wi-Fi as the interface in the sheet that opens. Select Join other network from the Network Name menu, then select your network. Enter the password when prompted and save it in the keychain.

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 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

I just bought a new iMac and 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?
