I bought an iMac 2 months ago... do I need to pay for Mountain Lion?
My iMac is barely out of the box (it actually sat in storage for a month before I set it up) and now I find that the OS is already out of date. Does Apple have a deal on Mountain Lion for recent purchases? Like... for free?

If you purchased your iMac on or after 7/11 6/11 you are entitled to a free copy, if not, it's $19.99

If you have a problem and need to reinstall, you don't have to pay.

I bought a MacBook Air on Saturday but it didn't have Mountain Lion installed. Do I have to pay for an upgrade?
No, go to http://www.apple.com/osx and then Upgrade and go to the up-to-date program and register your purchase. You will receive an email with a redemption code to download ML for free.

I bought my iMac 3 months ago,I recorded my adress mail has the request of Apple ,and from that time, I am pervaded of spam.I would like apple stop it. thank you.
Apple can do nothing about spam coming from other sites unless you're using MobileMe or iCloud as your mail server, in which case they do some spam filtering but have to be very conservative about what they block. If you're referring to receiving emails from Apple, log into your Apple ID account:
Manage your Apple ID account
and go to the Language and Contact Preferences. You can remove yourself from Apple's mailing lists there.

Do I have to pay for Mountain Lion, just bought Lion 2 days ago?
On July 1 I purchased Lion and haven't even gotten it installed yet and just read that Mountain Lion will be released in July. Will Apple offer a free update like they do for people who buy a Mac with Lion after June 11, 2012?
This is what the website says about purchasing a Mac with Lion
The OS X Mountain Lion Up-to-Date upgrade will be available at no additional charge from the Mac App Store to all customers who purchase a qualifying new Mac system from Apple or an Apple Authorized Reseller on or after June 11, 2012.
Customers must request their Up-to-Date upgrade within 30 days of purchasing their Mac computer. Customers who purchase a qualifying Mac between June 11, 2012 and the date when Mountain Lion is available in the Mac App Store will have 30 days from the OS X Mountain Lion release date to make a request.
When Mountain Lion becomes available in July, come back to this page for details on how to request your copy of Mountain Lion.Saillar wrote:
I only bought Lion because my Address Book wouldn't sync after the end of MobileMe Saturday night.
Really Apple sent out notices about this happening for months. And has had Mountain Lion in the works for at least 4 months with notices all over the net that it will be released sometime this summer.
Simple answer is NO you will not be offered a free upgrade.
If you used your CC to purchase it call Apple and ask to return it or contact your CC company and dispute the charge. -

Some times my new iMacs display start flickring when I starts playing a game. I am very annoyed. I have bought it only 1 month ago. What can I do?
A flickering display sounds to me like a hardware problem. Or does this only happen with a specific game? Of course your machine is still under warrantee so you could take advantge of it if you have a local apple store.

I just dropped my new macbook pro on the ground, it dents a little. So can I bring it to apple store, and repair it for free? BTW: I bought it just one month ago. Thank you very much
No, user caused accidents are not warranty coverage, nor are spills, loss, theft etc.
all these user caused issues have no bearing on the warranty coverage.
they are outside of same.
All laptop mfg. are identical in this nature (same with your car too of course) -
Hi, I forgot my password for my mac book retina which I just bought 1 1/2 months ago.
Is there any possibility to reset it? I guess (not sure) the operating system is os x.Forgot Your Account Password
For Snow Leopard and earlier
Mac OS X 10.6- If you forget your administrator password
For Lion/Mountain Lion
Boot to the Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
When the menubar appears select Terminal from the Utilities menu.
Enter resetpassword at the prompt and press RETURN. Follow
instructions in the dialog window that will appear.
Or see Reset a Mac OS X 10.7 Lion Password and
OS X Lion- Apple ID can be used to reset your user account password.
If you are unable to boot from an installer DVD:
(these will only work on Leopard or earlier)
1. Boot to Safe Mode by restarting and after the chime press and hold down
the COMMAND-S keys until a black screen with white type appears.
2. At the prompt, type the following commands pressing return after each
command line:
/sbin/fsck -yf
If you do not receive a "Filesystem OK" message then repeat this command
until you do. If after seven tries you still do not receive a "Filesystem OK"
message, then the system is corrupted and needs to be reinstalled.
mount -uw /
cd /private/var/db/netinfo
mv local.nidb local.old
rm ../.AppleSetupDone
shutdown -r now
The second-to-last command above will cause OS X to think that the operating system is newly installed, and when the new owner starts up the computer it will send him/her to the startup wizard where he/she can start a new user without reinstalling.
This last method does not actually change a password. It simply removes the user accounts and lets you create an initial admin account as if the computer were new out of the box.
Reset Admin Password Using The Terminal
You can reset the password by printing out (or writing down) and carefully following these steps.
First, find the short name of the admin user on the machine. The easiest way of doing this is by looking at what the directory is called in the Users folder.
Now, start in Single-user Mode. It should boot into a command line.
Enter these exact lines. Press RETURN after each.
mount -uw /
ifconfig lo0 up
cd /var/db/netinfo
netinfod -s local
Now you'll need that short name. Enter "passwd", a space, and the short name of the admin. For example, if the admin was rather prosaically called "imadmin", you would enter "passwd imadmin".
The computer will now prompt you to change the password for "lmadmin" (or whatever the short name was). Go ahead and enter a new password.
Now, enter:
sync
reboot
and the machine will reboot. The admin password should now be changed. -
Hello, I have a question . I bought a ipad 2 months ago.Yesterday, I couldn't open or shut down . On the Ipad show " Not enough Storage . This ipad can not be back up because there is not enough icloud storage available . You can manage your storage in settings.

I bought my iPhone5 4 months ago and now the camera is not working, it only displays black in the screen. I've tried reset, restore for how many times but still the problem is not being resolve. Any help from you Apple team?
There is no Apple here, this is a user to user forum. When you said you restored, then you restore as NEW?
If you restored as New and still the problem persiist, then it time to take a trip to the Apple store. -
Hi I bought my mac a month ago and there are times that I sit and start to load and gives me electric shocks when I get up, this is normal?
Does your chair have wheels?
Depending on where you are sitting, you can build up an electrostatic charge by moving a chair on wheels (like on carpet or one of those plastic chair pads). On the aluminum bodies of current Macs, you can accidentally discharge when you go to touch the computer. -

Why is "photo booth" giving a message saying "no camera attached" when it has a web cam? it did work okay when I bought the computer six months ago?
I have already copied my photographs to the a library manager but when I tried to reuse iphoto and import the photos back into iphoto, it would not let me.
You can't "copy" your photos to the "library manager", there is just no way to any such thing.
Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In early versions of Library Manager it's the File -> Rebuild command. In later versions it's under the Library menu.)
This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.
