How do we get our Free Lion upgrade for recently purchased Macs

So I was told when I bought my new i7 macbook pro last month, I would get a free Lion upgrade.  So my question, anybody know how to make that happen?

it is called the up to date program: Apple - OS X Lion and Lion Server - Up to Date Program

  • How do I get a free version of iPhoto compatible with Mac OS 10.8.5?

    After upgrading to Mac OS 10.8.5, my previous version of iPhoto would not work. I have since trashed the non working version of iPhoto. The available free download versions of iPhoto will not work with Mac OS 10.8.5. How can I get a free download version of iPhoto compatible with 10.8.5 without purchasing a new copy??

    There is no free upgrade for Mountain Lion. The free upgrade is only for Mavericks.
    The iWork apps are free with a new iOS device since 1 SEP 2013. They are free with a new Mac since 1 OCT 2013. They are also free with the upgrade to OS X Mavericks 10.9 if you had the previous version installed when you upgraded.

  • Upgrade Cost for Recently Purchased Mac?

    A colleague has a recently purchased Mac that qualifies for the $9.99 Snow Leopard upgrade. I'd heard (maybe incorrectly) that the fee is for shipping'n'handling and not for licensing.
    If that's the case can my colleague legally use my Snow Leopard upgrade disk or have to purchase the $9.99 upgrade?
    Thanks!

    Welcome to Apple Discussions!
    Agreed with the former suggestion. But I would amend that to say, upgrading to any operating system requires a bit of preparation. Be sure he reads through this to determine if he is ready, and if not, he should get himself ready before buying the update*:

  • How can i get a free digital download for the Logic express 9 DVD version

    I recently bought an new Imac. There is no dvd player. What gets me frustrated is that i own almost all Apple products, but i can't seem to get my DVD version of Logic Express on my new imac. I tried to share the dvd drive of my macbook pro, but that doesnot work with copy protected software. So i can't install from that external dvd drive.
    So now i have a:
    Iphone
    Ipad mini
    Macbook pro
    Imac
    and ik can't use my officially purchased version of Logic. Microsoft offers a free digital download for registered version of Office for Mac. Is er there also a free digital download for Logic Express? Anybody?
    If there is not, i feel ripped off.
    Thanks.

    Why not ask in the Logic Express forums?

  • How can i get the 4.01 upgrade for Final Cut Express 4.01

    I have problems importing movieclips from my Sony HD camcorder (Sony HDR-CX350VE) in Final Cut Express. Surfing some Mac forums I jumped to the conclusion that I am not the only one. FCE sees the clips, but when I try to import them I get an error (idle). On one of the Mac forums I read that al lot of the AVCHD problems have been solved in the 4.0.1. update of FCE. I have 4.0 but I don't get the 4.01 update offered on Software update (although I have registered the software) and I can't find the 4.0.1 update on the Apple support or downloadsite. Does anywhone how I can get this update. It must exist because I found the releasenotes.

    The Application is called Final Cut Express, but it wasn't at the top level. I put it there and tried Software-update again. And Yes it found the 4.01 update. Stupid of me and very clever of you, Tom!
    Thanks a lot

  • How do i get my pc registered to download recent purchases

    can anyone tell me how to register my pc to download purchased music to library

    There's a couple of ways to get through to the authorisation controls in the 11.0.x versions.
    The control is still in the Store menu, but first (if you're using iTunes versions 11.0.x) you might need to bring up the menu bar to see the Store menu.
    If you're using 11.0.x, click on the wee boxy icon up in the top-left corner of your iTunes to see the "Show Menu Bar" control, as per the following screenshot:
    Then you'll find the control in the Store menu:
    Alternatively, if you don't want to bring up the menu bar, it's still possible to get into the authorise controls via nested menus accessible from the wee boxy icon. Here's a screenshot of where to find them:

    What, specifically, is your Mac model?
    MacBook Pro, but need the year it was released, processor speed, etc. This will determine if it *can* be upgraded further.
    Best,

    I downloaded and paid for an app on my ipad, how can I get it free on my iphone without using itunes as my laytop is broken. I cannot seem to find the purchase tab in app store? I am logged in using the same ID

    First, the app must be universal...designed for both iPhone/iPad:
    Tap App Store.
    Make sure you're signed in with the same Apple ID used for the original purchase.
    Tap Updates.
    Tap Purchased on the resulting screen.
    Locate the app in your Purchased tab.
    Tap the download icon.
    The app will begin downloading and you'll be taken back to your home screen.

  • I bought a Mountain Lion upgrade for $20 off the Apple site. I have four other Macs all under the same ID. How can I share the new OS with other computers. Or can I?

    I bought a Mountain Lion upgrade for $20 off the Apple site. I have four other Macs all under the same ID. How can I share the new OS with other computers. Or can I?

    You can share it with other Macs under your control (not your neighbor's).  You just need to be logged in under the buying AppleID for updates or to download again.

  • IPod Touch 64GB activated October 2013 - how do I get the free iLife, iPhoto and iMovie apps?

    I purchased (from an authorised seller - Dixons Duty Free, Heathrow) and activated an iPod Touch 64GB on 18th October 2013 (prior to the announcement of free iLife, iPhoto and iMovie apps but after the 1st Sepember 2013 date in their conditions). It had iOS6 preinstalled. I've updated to iOS7. How do I get the free iLife, iPhoto and iMovie apps? The App Store is trying to charge me for theese.

    Problem solved from information found in another thread....
    If your iOS device was activated for the first time after September 1, go to the App Storeon your iPod which should open to Featured. If not, tap on Featured at the lower left of the screen & scroll down to Collections & tap on New to the App Store? then scroll down to Apps Made by Apple & tap. You should now see the iWork & iLife apps as "FREE."
