How do I update to Lion for free since I just bought my macbook pro about 3 weeks ago?
I recently bought a macbook pro and would like to update to the most recent lion. I am told I can do this for free since I only purchased the macbook pro about 2-3 weeks ago. I dont know how to find the receipt for my purchase of my mac b/c I bought it online and probably bought it under a guest without a apple id and password?
take it to an apple store. make an appointment with the genius bar first. but if its that new they shoudl just take care if it for you. they should have the date of purchase on their computers so there should be no problem

I just got the new macbook pro about 2 weeks ago, it has lion. When the new mountain lion comes this summer, can i just update it on my macbook pro since it isn't so old? And if i can update it, do i have to pay, or is it a free update?
I'm in the same position, the store said they didn't know of any new release, so i bought my macbook pro to find out about mountain lion. I really hope that i'm not going to pay for the upgrade. New to apple, also last month bought my Ipad 3, really thought that Airplay would have been on my book pro, nope, waste of time.........need that update to use it. Back i the box then, get the windows 7 ultimate pro back out until then.

Do I have to pay for 10.7.3 if I just bought my macbook pro in October?
I just bought my macbook pro a few months ago. It came loaded on with version 10.6.8. I've been thinking about updating to 10.7.3, but do I have to pay for it? I already have the lion software running so it seems like a rip off to have to pay $30 for a small update.
To know exactly what version of OS X you have, go to the "apple" in the menu bar (top left) then "About this Mac", you will see your version of OS X.
If you see 10.7.x you have Lion. You can update to 10.7.3 by selecting software update.
If you see 10.6.8 you will have to buy Lion in the App Store.
Hope this will help. -

Sorry, i forgot to response. I've gone to the store where i bought the macbook. I told them about this, they said that they were sorry about the services and that they cannot do anything about it. They asked me to call the apple service about the upgrade. I called the services, and all that they said was the period where upgrade is free was over. and if i want to upgrade it, I have to buy it. No free upgrade. And said that he cannot comment anything about the services provided by the store.
oh well. just have to live with it.
Oh yes they can! Apple's policy is that you have 14 days from the date of purchase to return the comp.....no questions asked!
You should return it, get your $$$ back. Then purchased another one that has ML from a reputable Apple reseller and/or from an Apple Store (online or off). -

I just bought a macbook pro and want to use my own iCloud account for my iPhone. How do I sign off of the current account on my iPhone and sign in with my own iCloud account i set up my mac?
On your phone, Go to "Settings", "iCloud", scroll to the bottom and "sign out." Assuming you have the the account password/security info of the current account, it will delete everything iCloud related upon your approval (don't worry, everything will remain in the cloud.) Once signed out, in the same settings location (under "Settings", "iCloud") sign in using your Apple ID and Password.
Hope this helps. -
I just bought my macbook pro and it's charged up to 100% and is still plugged in but now shows the battery at 98%. How is this possible when it's plugged in to the charger and the green light is on?
The system regularly lets the battery drop to about 95% when on the charger, then recharges to 100%. This lets the batery exercise "just a little" all of the time and saves the recharge curcuits from overuse.
Regualr occurence for me.
Also ... you need to let your battery work at least once per month. Let it run down to 40%, but not less if you can at all avoid it. Running thr battery fully dead will shorten the battery life significantly. -
My macbook crashed about two weeks ago and I had icloud already set up. How do I go about retrieving the music and images? Please, help me. I had over 10gb of music on that computer and the only place it was backup was icloud. Thanks.
I hate to say this, but unless you are paying the 25 bucks you cannot back up your library to the cloud.
All you can do is back up the items you "purchased" from Apple.
iTunes Match
For $24.99/year you’ll get access to all your iTunesmusic including tunes you ripped from CDs or “borrowed” from anonymous friends. It scans your library to see if the song exists in iTunes’ 18 million song catalog and if it does it’ll stream it to you at 256 kbps. If your song is not in iTunes then it’ll be uploaded to iCloud at whatever rate it is on your device where it can be streamed for your listening pleasure. I cannot find any information on how to restore a library, however
Best of luck -
I just bought a macbook pro and I want to know how to restore pictures that were backed up on iCloud but then deleted from my phone. Isn't that the point of the backup so I can delete and make more space. Please help!
Log into the iCloud on your MacBook Pro and enable Photo Stream:
Then launch iPhoto and set iPhoto's Photo Stream preferences to the following:
Then check the Photo Stream section of iPhoto:
This is to confirm that the photos are still in Photo Stream. If they are they will be imported into the library.
NOTE: not all photos in an iPhone will be in the Photo Stream. PS only keeps photos in it for 30 days.
If you have the missing photos in your library put them in an album. Connect your iPhone to the Mac and open iTunes. In iTunes you can select that album in the library and sync the photos to your iPhone to get them back on the iPhone.
