How to get newly purchased osx Lion DL link or App ?

howdee,
ive submitted this question for email support, since it is specific to my purchase - but im assuming others might have the issues as well...
1 - yesterday i submitted an order for a piece of hardware and for the osx-lion software... 
2 - yesterday my account status said something like 'pending' - while it went thru billing, i assume...
3 - today my account status shows the hardware is in-process/shipping and the software is complete...
4 - i received the nice email saying that i should go to my order-page and click on a 'download-now' link...
5 - that link does not exist, the order-status says 'complete' which (when mouse-hovered) says that i will not receive a physical item...
comments:
1 - since i am on snow-leopard on a core-2-duo, i cannot do anything fancy like go straight to mavericks on this machine...  altho i have on other machines (and have the mavericks link available in my account)...
2 - under apple-s/w-update: it says im up to date on this machine (the core2duo with 10.6.8 SL)...
3 - under mac-app-store: it does not show my purchase of osx-lion, so i cannot redownload it in case i ever lose it...
4 - when i did the original purchase, i did NOT get an app-store link which tried to do the download for me (semi-obv. from prev.comment)
5 - basically, with the two paid-osx systems (lion/mountain-lion) it is fairly hard to sort out what-to-do...
questions:
1 - how do i find a REAL (not some non-legal-stuff) download link for my purchased osx-Lion ?
2 - how do i get to this magic-link a second time, assuming something dreadful happens to my hdd or my backups or whatnot ?
if i come up with some answers i will post a reply or two, assuming i can... 
tia, h.

wellp, the correct answer was, indeed, to wait...
just awhile ago i received another TWO emails from apple:
1 - was an email saying that the password for the other-email's-attachment was: xxxxx
2 - was an email with a password-protected PDF file containing a redemption-code: yyyyy
the instructions are basically to go into the app-store (with the ID you want to use - be careful here)
and then in the regular featured-tab, there is a redeem-link on the right-hand-side...
type in the magic-code from inside the pdf and -poof- the osx-lion (or mountain-lion) app is available to download...
in fact, by default (if it can), the download will begin immediately...
i guess the only-thing that is kinda-useful to note in all this is that the instructions in the original-email
which claims that you will get a download-link on your order-status are wrong...  just wait - youll get
another two emails with the actual-instructions on how-to-download the sw from the app-store...
hth, h.

  • How do I download purchased Mountain Lion OSX on my second Mac laptop?

    How do I download purchased Mountain Lion OSX on my second Mac laptop?  The initial download was no problem on my MacBook Pro, but my MacBook already has Lion with only a little more than 2 GB of Memory left. This may be my compatibility problem.  Ideas?

    I think you'll need to find a way to delete or move files to an external drive to free up some space. Generally, you want at least 10% free space on the HD for best performance. In your case, you probably will not get ML to install. Assuming you are talking about 2 GB of hard drive and nor 2 GB of RAM.

    Nope. You can purchase a Snow Leopard DVD for $29.00 through an Apple retailer or ordering from AppleCare:

  • I just recently bought a macbook pro. I got an email from apple to update to OSX Lion but I accidentally deleted it. Is there anyway that email can be resent so I don't have to purchase OSX Lion?

    I recently purchased a MacBook Pro. After setting up my new laptop, I got an email from Apple about upgrading to OSX Lion. I wasn't sure what the email was so I accidentally deleted it. Afterwards, I was informed that I need this upgrade and I have no way of retrieving this email. Is there anyway another email can be sent out to me so I don't have to purchase OSX Lion through the App Store?

    Visit http://www.apple.com/macosx/uptodate and follow the appropriate links. You will be asked what your serial number is and where you purchased your computer but you will get lion free of charge.

  • How to get the Purchase order Qty in the object dependency

    Hi,
    We are using variant pricing in the purchase order. I have condition type say u201CZVBPu201D for Pallet cost. I defined Pallet cost as 5 USD per each (pallet). I have to calculate Number of pallets = Purchase order Qty/ 5. The number of pallets should be rounded to nearest integer.
    My question is how to get the Purchase order Qty in the object dependency?
    Is there any reference table and field can be used to get Purchase order Qty just like we use MMCOM-VKOND for variant pricing.
    Appreciate your help
    Thanks,
    Srini

    Hi,
    1. I do not have system now so I can not conclusively tell about table field .
    2. Since I did it long back so I also do not exactly remember it, there are more than one place where PO qty appears for example Item overview and Item details - one of the PO qty when used in the characteristic do pull the PO qty which can be used for variant pricing (so request to please update the forum with the correct table and field once you find it - in the meantime if I get opportunity to get to system I will also try and find out ).

    To restore app data, the apps have to be in the iTunes library of the computer on which you do the restore. The iPod ackup that iTunes makes does not included synced media like apps and music.

  • Does anyone know how to get apple mail in Lion to connect with Exchange 2007?

    Does anyone know how to get apple mail in Lion 10.7.2 to connect with Exchange 2007?  It worked perfectly with Snow Leopard... upgraded to lion and it won't work.  We use Exchange 2007 with SP 3 and Rollup 4.  Won't connect... and I can't get Apple to give me any direction. 

    We finally got it to work today.  We had to call and pay for the microsoft support service, but the issue was on the server end.  We had to go into the iis manager... went to sites... when to default website...and changed the SSL settings for Auto Discover, EWS Exadmin, echange, exchweb, owa... and the rest..
    Change the settings to ignore client certificates.
    Problem solved. Can finally send and receive.

  • How to get my purchase history back?

    Hi,
    I suspect the merge between Nokia Dev and Ovi accounts to have deleted all my purchase history. The last 9th of september, I purchased Billboard for my N9. So, it was less than a year before, it should be still valid and I should still be able to download the app.
    How to get this purchase information back? Of course I kept the email this the purchase order.
    Thanks.

    @Farby: You're right. I marked it as solved because it seems a valid answer. But then I checked my purchase order and saw it is less than 12 months old. Of course, I should have checked before asking.
    @yasfer21: completely forgot the differences between the accounts, and the previous logins.
    So, my question still remains. Is there an email address I can contact to get my purchase back? Another way? Thanks.

  • Laptop crashed need to know how to get my purchases back

    My computer crashed and I need to know how to get my purchases back. To make matters even better, the media on my phone was deleted even though it was checked off not to sync it. I absoloutely hate itunes with a passion and every day it seems to do something else....this being the most maddening thing I have encountered so far.
    Does anyone know how I can get my music back? Or does apple pretty much have my money and I have nothing to show for it?

    It is basic to maintain a backup.
    Have you failed to do so?

    If you buy a CD from best buy and lose it, do they just give you another?

  • "this apple ID was not used to purchase OSX Lion"

    Have the late 2009 imac (21.5" with 4GB and 500GB HD) and was running OSX Lion 10.7.5. This is my kids' computer and the hard drive was pretty much full up of junk. So I wiped the hard drive and began the process to reinstall OSX Lion using the original installation DVD that came with the computer when I purchased it. Goes through all the steps to install and then asks me to login with Apple ID and comes back with "This Apple ID was not used to purchase OSX Lion" Well, of course I purchased it. It came with the computer. It is the only installation disk I have. Talked to Apple support, tried different solutions with them. They even sent another disk. Same message.

    Perchance, was there a USB Thumbdrive version Lion 10.7 included with the computer
    when it was new? If you had that, (as the computer likely shipped with 10.7 installed only
    if it had a backup installer) then you could install from there.
    If the computer has an internal optical drive, there should have been grey-label install
    restore media discs (DVD specific to that model build) with applications & OS X on it.
    Such an original DVD disc set would also have an Apple Hardware Test on DVD.
    The 10.7 Thumbdrive version was offered on a limited basis, no longer available, at $69.
    Per the MacTracker database, the only model shown which shipped with 10.7 installed
    and also had an optical superdrive, was the iMac (21.5, Late 2011) model. Earlier model
    versions show the shipped OS X on media (DVD) as being OS X 10.6.x Snow Leopard.
    Avoid Mavericks if you have/possess older software that you would be using regularly.
    There may also be a firmware update that could make it hard to revert to the original
    OS X version if the Mavericks is installed on certain models that supported it later.
    Good luck & happy computing!
