How do I upgrade to OS X Mountain Lion for free?
How do I upgrade to OS X Mountain Lion for free? I just bought a new Mac Book Pro 5 days ago with OS X Lion. The Apple store said I could download the new OS for free by entering the receipt # and total amount of the purchase. I don't know where to start or where to enter this information. Please help.
Hi,
Just go to http://www.apple.com/osx/uptodate/ if in the US otherwise go to main Apple homepage, click on the 'Mountain Lion is here' icon then scroll to the bottom where it says 'Get a free upgrade with your new Mac'. All the info should be there. I did this myself yesterday and am now awaiting my coupon code to get it for free.

Where did you buy this laptop? I know if I opened a box expecing and having paid for a 2012 model and found a 2010 model, I'd be back at the store demanding an exchange quicker than you could imagine. Open box or not, if you thought you were buying a 2012 model, you should get what you paid for.

My Mac has a OS X operating system. (10.6.8) How can I upgrade its system to Mountain Lion so I can then add the ICloud? Also, does the ICloud include virus protection for files already on my Mac?
You can purchase and download Mountain Lion in the App Store (in your 'Applications' folder), then just run the installer: however you should first check that Mountain Lion can indeed run on your Mac. Please see this page:

You might also want to look at this page to see whether any vital applications will be adversely affected:

In particular note that PPC applications such as AppleWorks will not run on Mountain Lion since Rosetta is not included and can't be added. -
I'm running Mac OS X 10.5.8. How do I upgrade to OS X Mountain Lion??? Help please!
http://www.apple.com/osx/specs See if your computer is compatible. Then, call Apple and buy Snow Leopard. Make a backup, insert the install DVD and upgrade. Finally, update Snow Leopard, open App Store and purchase Mountain Lion

With the purchase of macbook air i was told that i am getting the x os mountain lion for free.
When i try to download it is asking me for code, what code shall i put in, how i can get that code?
thank youThe Apple Support Communities are an international user to user technical support forum. As a man from Mexico, Spanish is my native tongue. I do not speak English very well, however, I do write in English with the aid of the Mac OS X spelling and grammar checks. I also live in a culture perhaps very very different from your own. When offering advice in the ASC, my comments are not meant to be anything more than helpful and certainly not to be taken as insults.

Can i update to mountain lion for free
can i update to mountain lion for free? when can i update it? Very hopeful to have a experiment.
Given that you already have a Mac and the new cat is not likely to come out in awhile yet, the answer will be NO. Only cases I've seen Apple give the OS for free as an upgrade is when you buy a new Mac a week or so before the official cat unleashing. Or if you buy a new Mac after the new cat is out and you get inadvertently given one with the previous release.
