HT1338 Free Upgrade to Mt. Lion?

I bought a new laptop in June and was told I would be upgraded to Mountain Lion without charge when it was released.  How do I do that?

  • Attempted to redeem free upgrade to Mountain Lion today but App store said the code had already been used... though it hadn't

    I was in the process of redeeming my free upgrade to Mountain Lion today, and received a message in the "redeem" section of the App store that the redemption code had already been used. It hadn't been, unless there's a glitch in Apple's system that assigns codes. I accidentally clicked the submit button twice within a few seconds (believing I hadn't clicked it the first time, as nothing on the page indicated that I had submitted the form), as I was attempting to "redeem" my free upgrade.
    Any ideas of what to do would be great. I'm brand new to the Mac world, and am interested in running the most up-to-date OS, especially since I've just procured the very top of the line new Macbook Pro w/Retina display, etc.
    Thanks,

    The App Store has a forum area where experts await with answers:

  • TS1292 I have a new macbook pro bought around a month ago so either the end of June or the beginning of July I know I should have a free upgrade to Snow Lion how do I get it

    I should have a free upgrade to Snow Lion since the Macbookpro is around a month old now I have tried to upgrade to Snow Lion from the App store but it wants me to buy it . How do I get the free upgrade?

    iWork! But Office 2008 or 2011 will run fine on Lion
    Lion is awesome, and if you purchased your MacBook Pro since June 6th, go here to get a free copy> http://www.apple.com/macosx/uptodate/
    The bugs are few and far apart

  • I just bought a new iMac and am new to the desktop Mac. I read you can get a free upgrade to Mountain Lion if you bought your computer after June 11,2012. Do I have to do something before Mountain Lion is released? If so what?

    Just check in with this link when ML is released for instructions on how to claim your upgrade.

  • I recently purchased a copy of Lion, will I be eligible for a free upgrade of Mountain Lion?

    I recently purchased a copy of Lion, will I be eligible for a free upgrade of Mountain Lion?

    no, sorry.
    However, Lion has some great features in and of itself!
    you will have to purchase it for 20 dollars in the app store (USA price) to upgrade to ML, the redemption codes that you may be reacting to are for people who recently purchased a computer and were told that they would be able to receive a free download of ML when it is released to make sure their computers are up to date.
    This allows apple to release the hardware before the latest software, but still offer the latest software for free, because they're cool like that .
    I hope this helps

  • How long does it take for Apple to send the content code for a free upgrade to Mountain Lion?

    Has anyone managed to successfully receive the content code in their email for a free ugprade to Mountain Lion?
    I bought my MBP on 14 July so I qualified for the free upgrade. Went to the website and filled in the form along with my serial number about 2 nights ago. Still haven't received my content code yet. How long does it take? Should I be speaking to someone already? Who?
    Thanks.

    We are being advised it can take up to 72 hours !

  • Free upgrade to Mountain Lion didn't download and now my code will not work again!

    Okay so I bought a new MacBook Pro on Sunday and as Mountain Lion has only just come out and I have just bought my notebook I qualify for the free upgrade from Lion to Mountain Lion. After filling in all the required information I recieved my redeem code and it started to download. After several failed attempts with the same error message of "Hash Mismatch" appearing I finally gave up and left it for a day or so. As I have come on to my laptop today in an attemt to download to update, I have looked everywhere in App Store (purchases, downloads) and Mountain Lion is not anywhere. I have also tried to re enter the codes but it is saying that the codes have already been used etc.
    So now I am stuck and do not know what to do and I really dont want to have to pay the money to get Mountain Lion when I should be able to get it for free.
    Any help you could give me would be appreciated, even if it is just an apple support number that I could call and get everything sorted out.
    Thank you.

    After you press download, check your Launchpad.  The icon will show up with what looks like a white dot where you'd expect to see a progress bar.  That white dot actually is the progress bar, as ML is a 4GB download and can take anywhere from 1 to 15 hours, depending on your connection speed.  On the average 1.5Mbps economy connection, it will take about 7 hours to download.

  • Where do I find the "Number of Qualifying Systems for Right To Copy? I qualified for a free upgrade of montain lion.

    I was filling the form to get a free upgrade for the mountain lion. I qualified for that because I bought it in the time stipulated. When they asked me about the number of qualifying systems for right to copy I don't know what to write.

    That's for organizations with group licenses. If you are applying as an individual, you can ignore that field.

  • HT1338 After upgrading to Mountain Lion iphoto doesn't work

    Can't open my iphoto after upgrading to Mountain lion.  Goes up to step 2 at 54% and crashes.  Please help!

    You can't run Windows on a Mac unless you use BootCamp or a third-party utility such as Parallels Desktop.
    Perhaps you mean Microsoft Word (which is part of the MSOffice suite).
    Only MSOffice 2008 and later will run in Mountain Lion.
    However there are very good free alternatives, such as LibreOffice.
