HT201209 Having trouble redeeming my free update for mountain lion OSX..... I entered the content code that was e-mailed to me

Because I purchased my Macbook air after July 26, 2012 I qualify for the free Mountain lion update. However the content code that they e-mailed to me is coming invalid. Why? and what do I do now. i could buy it for 19.99 but kind of a ripto buy new and reicieve old OS FML.... someone help...

In at least some cases, the code in the body of the email unlocks an attached document which contains the actual redemption code. See if the email you received has an attachment, and if so open that and enter in the code from the email when requested.
If there was no attachment, contact Mac App Store Customer Service and let them know about the problem. They'll probably issue you a new code as they have for other people with the same issue.
Regards.

Since the last software update for mountain lion I am having a problem when moving screenshots to trash. Now a Finder box appears saying finder wants to make changes and I have to enter my password for every action.

Since the last software update for mountain lion, I am having a problem when trying to remove any screenshots to the trash. A box appears saying "Finder wants to make changes. Type your password to allow this"
I have checked Finder Preferences and cannot find any box that I can 'UNTICK' to resolve this. I sometimes take a lot of screenshots when I am researching something and now find I have to enter my password for every screenshot to be removed to trash.
Anyone got a solution please, Thanks

How do I redeem my free copy of Mountain Lion?

I purchased a Retina Display MacBook Pro on Monday. Mountain Lion came out today, and I was told I would receive a free copy. I went to the Up-To-Date website, and submitted my information as well as my serial number at around 9 this morning.
Then... crickets.
So... what am I waiting for? How do I redeem my free copy of Mountain Lion? Do I need to purchase it and get reimbursed for the charge?
When I enter my serial number into the "check your service and support coverage" page on Apple Support, (https://selfsolve.apple.com/agreementWarrantyDynamic.do) it knows exactly what kind of Mac I have and when it was purchased... how come the Up-To-Date program can't figure that out and give me a redemption code immediately? I'm excited to upgrade to Mountain Lion... but I'm disappointed by having to wait.

I don't think it's false. Apple received a lot of requests and you will have to wait to have your redeem code. Nothing more, or buy it
Again... I'm not paying for something I was promised for free. That's ridiculous. And the marketing that was released was very clear that purchasers of new MacBooks would receive an upgrade to Mountain Lion "as soon as it's available."
It's available. Apple is unnecessarily waiting to give me what they promised. "False advertising" may seem like a really negative term, but it's accurate. I was promised something and it wasn't delivered.

HT1338 The latest update for Mountain Lion OS X 10.8.3 keeps asking for Restart, but does not update.

The latest update for Mountain Lion OS X 10.8.3 does not update. Keeps asking for Restart but no update.

Yup, I'm experiencing the exact same thing.
I (and many others) are experiencing the same or similar issues with the 10.8.3 update.
I've sent an response to Apple but have not yet received anything back (yet).

I just downloaded the newest update for mountain lion. After downloading and restarting for installation, I got a message stating that the update cannot be installed due to an error. Yet when I check I have version 10..8.3 and safari version

I just downloaded the newest update for mountain lion. After downloading any restarting for installation, I got a message stating that the update cannot be installed due to an error. Yet when I check I have version 10..8.3 and safari version 6.0.3, which the update was for. Does this mean that the update is iinstalled and the message was incorrect?

Good timing! Oh well, at least you shouldn't have to update again for a while. It will be nice kickstarting your Mac with the very latest System Update knowing any hiccups from 10.8.2 would have been ironed out if they were going to affect your workflow at all.
Cheers and Happy Computing

iCloud isn't syncing them on your phone. You simply added the email account to your phone and enabled calendar and notes syncing with the email provider, and the calendar and notes appear in the calendar and notes apps on your phone. You can do this with Gmail, Yahoo and other IMAP account. iCloud email is just another IMAP account, but syncs notes with Apple's iCloud server just as Gmail syncs notes and calendars with Google's server.
iCloud didnt' set up a non-iCloud account on your Mac. When you check Mail in System Preferences>iCloud, it only creates an iCloud email account. You can also add other email accounts to your Mac by going to System Preferences>Mail,Contacts,Calendars and clicking on the "+" sign on the bottom of the left sidebar. If you added these other email accounts to your Mac before you upgraded to Mountain Lion, these were simply maintained on your Mac after you upgraded.

I am considering updating to Mountain Lion. Have checked the website Roar for compatibility with other software; some OK; some have yet to be tested. When will that testing be done?

Is there a Pages 09 only update for Mountain Lion?

I have downloaded the iWork 9.2 update for Mountain Lion but can't use it as I have Pages 09 but Numbers and Keynote 08 and the update says the 08's are not compatible. I bought Pages 09 from the App store as a stand-alone, so surely I should be able to upgrade it on its own without Numbers and Keynote?

Are you using iCloud? Some of the initial sluggishness may be due to the initial screen referencing iCloud:

Do a factory reset .. nothing will be deleted from your backups and you will be able to get access to them again.
The Factory Reset Gen1-4.
Unplug your TC. Hold in reset. and power the TC back on.. without releasing reset for about 10sec. When the status light flashes rapidly; release it.
Be Gentle! Feel the switch click on. It has a positive feel.. add no more pressure after that.
TC will reboot after a couple of minutes with default factory settings and will wipe out previous configurations.
No files are deleted on the hard disk.. No reset of the TC deletes files.. to do that you use erase from the airport utility.
