Mac OS X Lion Hardware Up to Date Program

I have been waiting for my code to get OS X Lion for more than a day now.. The up to date site said it wouldn't take more than 24 hours... Is this due to server load?

I talked to apple care, and they said that since it was the first day..there was a huge load on apple's servers. Since they dealt with theapplications on a first come first serve basis. Gues well just have to wait

  • Hardware up-to-date program: approximate time?

    Hello
    I recently bought a new iMac and I am told that I am eligible for a free hardware up-to-date program for Lion.
    I have sent all the necessary details and have a claim code. I called the Apple support about this and they have said that I should get it soon.
    Just wanted to know how much time should it take to get the upgrade code? I was told by apple support that, due to heavy load and too many number of requests for upgrade, the process is slow. Anybody knows how much time it may take?
    Please let me know.
    Cheers.

    You have every right to call Apple for an update.  You can also visit http://www.apple.com/macosx/uptodate/

  • About Mac OS X Snow Leopard Up-to-Date Program

    Hello,
    I've read that I'm eligible of a $9.95 upgrade to Snow Leopard from the following link:
    http://www.apple.com/macosx/uptodate
    The problem is that I bought my MBP when I was in USA, but I'm not there anymore.
    Is there anyway to get benefit from this offer from where I'm (Saudi Arabia) since there is no Apple Retail Stores over here.
    Any clues?,, suggestions?
    Regards,

    Sorry but that's a question only AppleCare can answer. Give them a call and ask to speak to someone in Customer Relations.

  • Can't update iPhoto, because Mac is part of Up-to-Date Program

    I had some interesting mail traffic with Apple, but now I am stuck.
    I bought a Macbook Pro early August this year. When I open my App-Store it says that I have one update for iPhoto. When I click the update-button, it says that I have to buy the product. I mailed Apple to ask why I can not update, since I bought my Mac after Lion was released and I should have the rights to download any update for the software that comes with it. After a long conversation the status quo is: I either have a refurbished Mac, which is not the case, or my Mac is part of the Up-to-Date program. This means that initially Leopard was installed on my computer and Apple just changed the OS to Lion. All good with me, but I ordered a Macbook with Lion, not one with an updated system that causes problems, ie gives apple more money since I have to buy software now.
    Can I get a new Mac with Lion as the initial OS or can Apple give me some codes that allow me to get the updates for free?
    Thanks for any reply.

    If you purchased iPhoto through the MacApp store (MAS) then you can update via the MAS. There have been some bugs in how the update is displayed in the MAS. The key is - where did you get iPhoto from - the MAS or via the MBP when you purchased and iPhoto was already installed on the MBP.
    The other path is from the http://support.apple.com/downloads/#iphoto

  • Hardware up-to-date approval?

    How long should Apple take for the Hardware up-to-date Program approval? I bought a MBP in late June and qualify for this, but I ordered it directly from Apple via the online store. The UTD online approval only worked if you could enter a purchase site, so I had to submit a claim with all my info and a proof of purchase via JPG. I did all of that the night of the Lion launch and recieved an email promptly from Apple stating that my claim was received and was being reviewed. Since then, not a peep. Still waiting to be approved so I can upgrade. Don't understand why it would be so difficult and time consuming to approve something I bought directly from Apple? Any advice is appreciated.

    Good to know, I'm not alone.  I had this idea of coming home and submitting my info and BOOM, downloading Lion.  I am so disappointed and waiting. 

  • How can I make my PowerPC/Windows programs work in Mac OS X Lion?

    In a few months I will be buying a MacBook Pro and I have a lot of old games that I would like to be able to play on it. But those games are Windows/PowerPC only and Mac OS X Lion does not support PowerPC. How can I make my old programs work in Mac OS X Lion?

    For porting Windows programs to Mac OS X, you can check out Wineskin.  It can be very simple to very hard to do though... its all a case by case basis.  The older the game is the more likely you are to get it to work easily though.

  • Service data location on mac os x lion server 10.7.4

    here's my problem.....
    in mac os x lion server, sever app, under hardware/settings, one can change the service data location (in my case from the server HD to an external HD), which I was trying to do. After the first attempt, I got an error message, something that had to do with "postgres". The server app created an some libraries on the external HD, but they were all empty.
    Second attempt: I switched all services off and tried again: now I didn't get an error message, the app created the correct libraries and next to "service data" my external HD is being listed:..so far so good, I thought.
    After restarting the server app, the external HD's name isn't listed anymore (and no other either) and the "edit" button is greyed out....that's it. No clue what to do now.
    Any ideas?

    Click here and start the process.

  • Reinstall Mac OS X Lion with saving data

    Hello, I want to reinstall Mac OS X Lion with saving my programms, docs and photos. What should I do then? I know that Time Machine backups data with the  system. But Ineed to backup my files and then on clear system I want  to restore this backup. Please reply with the steps which should I do. And where should I download original Mac OS X Lion image?
    PS I bought MacBook Pro with pre-installed Lion.

    Removing and rebuilding a malfunctioning Recovery HD partition « Der Flounder
    By the way it is NOT self deleting. Something deleted it, you or something else.
    Just to check open Terminal and type diskutil list then hit the enter key. If there is an entry for "Apple_Boot Recovery HD" of 650MBs then you do have a recovery HD partition.
    Once you recreate the Recovery HD I would do one of 2 things, or both of them.
    1) Use the Lion Recovery Disk Assistant to create a USB thumb drive of the recovery HD file. that way you will always have a way to boot your Mac and do maintenance or Reinstall Lion.
    2) follow this link

  • Mac OS X Lion to OS X Mountain Lion w/ erasing all data

    Hi 2 all, I have MacBook Pro with Mac OS X Lion 10.7.4 and when Mountain Lion will be introduced I want to ERASE all information including all partitions from my HDD and install Mountain Lion on fully cleared Mac. And there is a question. I created Time Machine backup and I think that this backup include in itself my  previous (Lion) operating system. But on my NEW system (Mountain Lion) I want only to restore apps and photos from iPhoto. How can I restore from Time Machine backup only some informations like apps and photos?
    Thanks in advance.

    TimeMachine doesn't have a highly selectable restore option, it's really a all or nothing approach.
    I assume you want to do this for hard drive performance and privacy reasons, because if you have a SSD there is no need for performance, just privacy reasons.
    It's because 10.7 will only be removed and 10.8 put into it's place if you choose to upgrade to 10.8, likely on the slower part of the hard drive, Applications and User accounts will be left alone.
    So if you wish to proceed, I advise having two external backups of your personal data. One on TimeMachine or bootable clone as well as your personal data backed up on a external drive. Once you have those then proceed.
    Most commonly used backup methods
    1: Hold command r keys while booting, use Disk Utility to Erase (hard drive use secure erase option #1, middle selection) the Macintosh HD partition.
    2: Reinstall 10.7 from Apple's severs using your AppleID and password.
    3: Reboot and setup using the same user name (so your iTunes playlists etc will work) different password is fine.
    4: Log into App Store and update to 10.8 and reboot, setup and don't use Filevault.
    5: Install 10.8 compatible programs as much as possible from original sources BEFORE returning user files.
    http://roaringapps.com/apps:table
    6: Choose to connect the external storage drive with only your files and return into same named account(s) (preferred)
    7: Keep your hard drive (SSD no need) below 50% filled for optimal performance, not more than 80% filled for any storage device.
    This method will give you clean install of 10.8, optimized and remain performing well for a long time if followed as instructed.
    If you chose to restore from TimeMachine or Filevault, your drive performance will suffer most likely because your going to lose the optimization factor, you want your applications (and OS X) to be near the top of the hard drive for performance.

  • I've recently messed up my Mac OS X Lion by deleting Aperture, but I need to get my data out of the computer. And by the way, I've got an important project in Final Cut Pro X. Is there any way I can back it up (including fxs and positions of the clip) ?

    Hello everyone
    I've recently messed up my Mac OS X Lion by deleting Aperture, but I need to get my data out of the computer. I've tried to repair it using DU, but it said I needed to backup all my data and reinstall the OS. How do I backup my data to an external drive?
    And by the way, I've got an important project in Final Cut Pro X. Is there any way I can back it up (including fxs and positions of the clip) ?
    Hope you guys can help me!

    You need to back up 2 folders, Final Cut Events and Final Cut Projects which by default are located on your Movies Folder. You can always check by clicking on a clip inside Fianl Cut X and selecting Show in Finder in the contextual menu for the selected clip.

    Incorrect link to "OS X: How to migrate data from another Mac using Mountain Lion and earlier". Should be http://support.apple.com/kb/HT6025

    I think the OP is saying OS X: How to migrate data from another Mac using Mountain Lion and earlier (which should be a link to HT4889) just links back to OS X: How to migrate data from another Mac using Mavericks (HT5872).
    It does indeed do that, & HT4889 seems to be MIA.
