  • Trying to redeem a content code for Mountain Lion but says it's already used

    Hello,
    I just submitted my claim for a free upgrade to Mountain Lion for my new retina macbook pro. I got the e-mails with the password and the content code. I decrypted the PDF and entered the content code in the Redeem dialog in the App Store application (German App Store). But it tells me this content code has already been used and can only be used for one computer?! Do I have to wait a while until the app store knows about the content code or anyhting?
    Regards
    Andreas

    Just called Apple, they said they are aware of the problem, and they will automatically be sending out new codes to the people that received incorrect ones within 72 hours.  That's a long time to wait for mountain lion .They said to call back if I haven't heard from them in 72 hours.

  • 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.

    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.

  • How can I make a bootable disk for Mountain Lion?

    How can I make a bootable disk for Mountain Lion?

    Make Your Own Mountain/Lion Installer
    1. After downloading Mountain/Lion you must first save the Install Mac OS X Mountain/Lion application. After Mountain/Lion downloads DO NOT click on the Install button. Go to your Applications folder and make a copy of the Mountain/Lion installer. Move the copy into your Downloads folder. Now you can click on the Install button. You must do this because the installer deletes itself automatically when it finishes installing.
    2. Get a USB flash drive that is at least 8 GBs. Prep this flash drive as follows:
    Open Disk Utility in your Utilities folder.
    After DU loads select your flash drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
    Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
    Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the drive entry) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
    Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, check the button for Zero Data and click on OK to return to the Erase window.
    Click on the Erase button. The format process can take up to an hour depending upon the flash drive size.
    3. Locate the saved Mountain/Lion installer in your Downloads folder. CTRL- or RIGHT-click on the installer and select Show Package Contents from the contextual menu. Double-click on the Contents folder to open it. Double-click on the SharedSupport folder. In this folder you will see a disc image named InstallESD.dmg.
    4. Plug in your freshly prepared USB flash drive. You are going to clone the content of the InstallESD.dmg disc image to the flash drive as follows:
    Double-click on the InstallESD.dmg file to mount it on your Desktop.
    Open Disk Utility.
    Select the USB flash drive from the left side list.
    Click on the Restore tab in the DU main window.
    Select the USB flash drive volume from the left side list and drag it to the Destination entry field.
    Drag the mounted disc icon from the Desktop into the Source entry field.
    Double-check you got it right, then click on the Restore button.
    When the clone is completed you have a fully bootable installer that you can use without having to re-download Mountain/Lion.
    Note: The term Mountain/Lion used above means Lion or Mountain Lion.

  • Any Idea when Apple will email the redemption code for Mountain Lion?

    Any Idea when Apple will email the redemption code for Mountain Lion? I got a code but it said it was invalid on the app store. When will this issue be solved? Kind of getting impatient, given I dropped 2k over their product...

  • Hi, how do I create a standalone installer for Mountain Lion, ie, download once and then no more broadband required, thanks?

    Hi, how do I create a standalone installer for Mountain Lion, ie, download once and then no more broadband required, thanks?
    Context is that my other computers are not mobile and I do not have broadband worth troubling for a 4GB download - so will go to Apple Store with MacBook Pro for first download.

    The easiest way is to download the installer but do not open it.
    Next, make a copy of it and store it where it won't get lost.
    Then take one of the copies and place into the applications directory and open it to begin the installer.
    This has saved me the trouble of ever having to download the installer twice, plus you can mess around with the installer and try different options without having to worry about not having a clean install file if needed.
    Best wishes

  • I have recently bought my Mac mini ( July 12) and have already requested my free update code for mountain lion, got a reference nr, but I still haven't received a code via email to update? Its been 12 days. Any advice?

    I have recently bought my Mac mini ( July 12) and have already requested my free update code for mountain lion, got a reference nr, but I still haven't received a code via email to update with? Its been 12 days. Any advice?

    I am still in the return window but i really do not want to return my mac as i know it has the ability to do what i want, my problem is just finding the software that will work as i know there has been a lot of complications with OS X Mountain Lion with softwares that caim to be compatible but then later turn out not to be.
    I have been a windows user for years and this is really my first mac but apart from the hole software issue i find the mac 10x better than any windows computer i have ever used. For example i bought a HP laptop 4 weeks ago and has nothing but problems. At first the fans stopped working and making weird noises and then it began switching off when ever it felt like it and freezing like mad when i was trying to access the smallest program. I have found that now a days you dont get what you pay for with Windows especially since Windows 8 was released. Also Laptops such as HP now are just crammed with cheap parts, they dont take pride in their systems like they once used to unlike Apple. I know i will get more than a year or 2 out my mac (hopefully a lot more) but with windows systems it just seems to break all the time costing more money on extending warrantys. Also i like mac because i dont need to send it away if i ever get a problem, i can just take it into the apple shop half a mile down the road and they will fix it in store. Where as with windows i am waiting 2 weeks+ to just hear back from them.

  • How do I redeem a coupon code issued by Apple, due to a previously botched iPhoto book?

    I had a recent iPhoto book order that was misprinted twice & although it was eventually redone & perfect, Apple issued me a coupon code for a credit on a future job.  I'm trying to redeem that now but can't find where to do so.
    The instructions that came with the code say to "click Buy then click Use A Coupon on the right".  There is no Use A Coupon on the right or anywhere else.  I've gone through all the ordering screens, up to the point where it says "Place Order" & there is no Use A Coupon button.
    On the very last Place Order screen there was an Enter Promo Code box & I tried to enter my coupon code there but it woudn't take it.
    The email states that the coupon code is valid until the end of 2011 so I know it's not expired.
    Anyone ever done this before?

    "Promo Code" is the only option I see in iPhoto '11.
    If you haven't already, make sure you are copying and pasting the code from the email to the promo box.
    If that doesn't help I suggesty you email them back to ask them how to use the code they gave you.

  • HT201209 Having trouble redeeming my free update for mountain lion OSX..... I entered the content code that was e-mailed to me

    Because I purchased my Macbook air after July 26, 2012 I qualify for the free Mountain lion update. However the content code that they e-mailed to me is coming invalid. Why? and what do I do now. i could buy it for 19.99 but kind of a ripto buy new and reicieve old OS FML.... someone help...

    In at least some cases, the code in the body of the email unlocks an attached document which contains the actual redemption code. See if the email you received has an attachment, and if so open that and enter in the code from the email when requested.
    If there was no attachment, contact Mac App Store Customer Service and let them know about the problem. They'll probably issue you a new code as they have for other people with the same issue.
    Regards.

  • New Code for Mountain Lion upgrade is wrong

    New IMac Code sent by Apple to get Mountain Lion upgrade (free) did not work/not recognized on App Store page. What should I do?

    I saw the contact info from another search on this Forum to ask Apple for help via e-mail. They responded pretty quickly (within 30 min).
    I did not realize there was one password that was sent only to be used to open/reveal a second password (in a pdf in the first e-mail) that u actually use on th eApp store for the upgrade. Kind of confusing but I see what I did wrong now.
    It did work and is now downloading.
    So, (hopefully) problem solved.
    Nice Forum!
