Just purchased imac, how do I redeem osx mountain lion code? I only see an option to purchase when I go to app store.

I had gone to this link last night and was mailed the code. The email said to copy code and go to the app store to download the software. However when I click the mountain lion app the only option is to "buy". Is there a special link to redeem? What am I missing. Thxs.

Kinda ****** deal but it is what it is... As if they can't tell when we submitted the request.

  • How to buy Mac OSX Mountain Lion without going to Mac AppStore.

    Hello! This is my first post on these forums so please welcome me if you are feeling nice today!
    Before we get started please note that I know Mavericks is released and it is better, however I need Mountain Lion in this case. I currently can't access the Mac AppStore due to a glitch on my computer and I am wondering if there is any way to purchase Mountain Lion OSX without being on my Mac, basically just buy it on my Apple ID. If you know of any ways, please respond with a link to a website if it is a website of course, and thanks for your help in advance!

  • How can I install osx mountain lion on one specific account on my laptop?

    You see, in our laptop, we have 2 accounts. My account and my sister's. I really want to install mountain lion on my computer on the laptop but my sister doesnt want that on her account. How can I install mountain lion on my account only?

    You can't.
    Mountain Lion is the operating system of the computer - it isn't in the accounts, the accounts are in it. 
    The only way to achieve something like what you describe would be to parition the computer into two seperate drives and install a different operating system on each partition.  That would also mean that changing accounts would require rebooting the computer and changing the startup partition / operating system / account.  Which is unlikely to be what you want.
    I think you and sister need to come to an agreement about which OS to use, be it ML or something earlier.  What are her reasons for not wanting to switch?  Perhaps you can convince her.

  • Still haven't recieved my OSX Mountain Lion code (110 hours)

    I requested my redemption code on the day Mountain Lion was released and I still have not recieved it 5 days (approx. 110 hours) later.
    When I spoke to apple 3 days ago they said I would recieve it within 24 hours, bu they are allowed 72 hours from the time of request.
    So when can I expect it, Im getting really dissapointed with Apple not living up to thier promises.

    Thanks for your input DS store.
    I have a brand new Macbook Pro 15" 2.2 GHz, and was purchased within the up-to-date OSX Lion free upgrade period.
    I use my mac primarily for basic things: Web, music, socialising.  If some more advanced programs wont work on Lion yet i'm not really concerned.  I do most of my serious business on my beast mode PC

  • Where do i enter my osx mountain lion code?

    I have recieved my activation code from Apple for OS X Mountain Lion. Where do I go (whats the link) to enter this code and upgrade to save me $20?

    The Apple Support Communities are an international user to user technical support forum. As a man from Mexico, Spanish is my native tongue. I do not speak English very well, however, I do write in English with the aid of the Mac OS X spelling and grammar checks. I also live in a culture perhaps very very different from your own. When offering advice in the ASC, my comments are not meant to be anything more than helpful and certainly not to be taken as insults.
    1. Open the Mac App Store.
    2. Make sure that you are signed into your account in the Store menu.
    3. Clcik the Redeem link in the Quick Links on the right hand side of the Featured pane.
    4. Enter the code to redeem and begin the download of the Mt Lion installer.

  • On 7/25/2012 I installed OS X Mountain Lion.  Now, each time that I go to App Store/Purchases, The status column for this item indicates "Download".  When I start to download it again it says that it has been downloaded.  Is something wrong.

    Installed OS X Mountain Lion. App Store/Purchase shows it as still Download.  Help!

    Yes, this is normal. You are permitted to redownload the installer as many times you want, so that you can transfer this to ANOTHER computer after you download.

  • How to change an OSX Mountain Lion shortcut?

    Hi,
    I have an american Macbook Air which I bought used and a UK Macbook Pro.
    Overall the differnce in the keyboard is minor and not a big problem.
    However on the american keyboard on the macbook air the key comman CMD § cycles through your open windows and also has the reverse direction function to CMD Tab
    That same fucntion is on the UK keyboard in CMD `
    I much prefer the american layout. Is there a way to change only that one key on my UK keyboard?

    Do you know how I can set it that it reverses CMD Tab as well?
    No, sorry, I have not found any way to change the Dock shortcuts from the Preferences.
    CMD ` scrolls from right to left.
    On my german keyboard  ⇧⌘⇥ (shift CMD TAB) also steps the Dock from right to left.
    But I cannot find that setting either in the keyboard preferences. To add it to the Application shortcuts for Dock.app we would need to know the name of a menu command that performs the stepping right-to-left.
    Regards
    Léonie

  • Best practice to use Time capsule for back-up of 3 different products (MBP 15 OSX lion, MBP 13 OSX lion and MBA 13 OSX mountain lion)?. Only the MBP15 is back-up regularly.

    When I want to save data of the MBA13 on mountain lion (wireless) with time capsule, hois there any best practice to perform?
    After that, assuming that data are back-up, can we easily differentiate data in time capsule belonging to MBP15/13 and MBA13?

    Unfortunately, Apple left off the Ethernet port....the most important port in networking....on the MBA, so your first backup of the entire Mac will need to be done using wireless.
    That may take a day or two unless your MBA has a Thunderbolt port on it in which case you could add a Thunderbolt to Ethernet adapter and connect the MBA to the Time Capsule for the first backup using an Ethernet cable.  It will probably only take 3-4 hours or less doing it this way.
    Once you have the first complete backup done, other subsequent backups can be done using wireless since they will ony take a few minutes, on average.
    Both Macs will backup to the Time Capsule using Time Machine automatically. Backups will be kept completely separate, so one Mac will normally only be able to "see" its own backups.

  • How to download but not install OSX Mountain Lion on Mavericks

    Hi all
    I would like to download but not install OSX Mountain Lion on my MBP which is currently running OSX Mavericks.
    This however seems impossible. I think OSX Mavericks were already installed on my MBP and therefore it seems "impossible" to download it.
    Now, why would I to do this? The answer is quite reasonable, due to certain demands related to an application portfolio I need Mountain Lion, because the portfolio is not upgraded to run on Mavericks. And, it is more reasonable to downgrade a version of OSX, rather waiting for the portfolio upgrade which can take years.
    Yes, I need to downgrade my secondary MBP which also came with preinstalled Mavericks. This can be done, if I only could download but not install Moutain Lion.
    It should be easy enough; download Mountain Lion, make an installer and make a bootable thumb usb stick. Then erase Mavericks and install Mountain Lion.
    I have previously bought Mountain Lion so it is accessible to me in the App Store, but whenever I try to hit the Download button, I get a message saying this can't be done, since I am running Mavericks.
    This bugs me, it should be obvious users needs the flexibility to swap whatever OSX version they need. It is still software.
    So, how can I download but not install Mountain Lion on my newer MBP that came with preinstalled Mavericks?
    I would like to see answers like:
    "In order to get this to work, you first have to disable the locking mechanism in [...] " instead of "No, this is impossible to do"
    Regards

    Thanks for your reply Eric
    Can't help wondering thought, people are ok with this?
    Basically Apple are saying: "Do not attempt to install an older version of OSX which came preinstalled. If so, expect multiple failures." Really?! Has it always been so? For me it's not like I'm going to install Snow Leopard on my Late 2013 Retina MBP, but I would expect some form of backward compatibility between the previous version and it successor. Apparently this is not possible, and how is this even acceptable? 
    Personally, I am not going to downgrade, as if I had a choice, but I would and I expected however, the possibility to at least download the previous OSX version. What do you do if you have bought several applications, not necessarily online from App Store and buy yourself a new Mac with preinstalled Mavericks and after installing your "old" applications they fail to work properly? What do you do since downgrading apparently is not an option. So... again, what do you do? 
    If you don't have friends with an older Mac, you could be facing serious problems. And I'm not talking about gaming, but serious business. 
    I find this quite disturbing actually, and please tell me it's not so. There gotta be a way to do this?
    I simply want to download the OS but I expect some registry values (like windows' registry) keeps preventing this.
    It should be possible to simply download and not download and install in one operation, shouldn't it?
    Regards

  • Where can I download OSX Mountain Lion.  I'd purchased it in the past and now my purchases list only shows Maverick.

    I'd purchased Mountain Lion on release date and Maverick on release date as well.  I realized my old Macbook Pro (late 2007) is supported by Mountain Lion, so I want to upgrade it from 10.6.8.  However, in the App Store purchases I only see Maverick and search the App Store doesn't bring up Mountain Lion.

    I tried that on both the old machine (10.6.8) and new one (10.9.2) and see just Maverick.  I'm logged in the same Apple account for both.  I see that I made the purchase in my receipts on July 26, 2012.
