Macbook/Mountain Lion Upgrade...

I ordered a Macbook Pro Retina, and it ships between Aug 2nd - 8th. Will it have Mountain Lion on it when I receive it? If not how will I get the free upgrade to it?

Nobody knows if they will preload ML by then but if they don't, check in with this link to claim your free upgrade.

MacBook Pro Frequent Crashes after Mountain Lion upgrade

Looking on other boards, this is not an uncommon occurance for Mountain Lion upgrades.
It seems to happen more after being in sleep mode. Kernal extentions in backtrace below and more details at https://gist.github.com/3483507.

I have the latest upgrade but today I again got this Kernel Panic. Not really sure what's going on, any update/solution is appreciated.

Since Mountain Lion Upgrade is my Internet connection very slow, Since Mountain Lion Upgrade is my Internet connection very slow

Why is Safari so slow after Mountain Lion upgrade?

I have a home Optimum wifi network with Boost connecting to an Airport, with a second Airport extending, and an Airport Express extending. I have a MacBook Pro, last year's model, two iMacs, a year old each, and an older iMac. (If necessary I can get all the models etc, but I just want to express the problem). The two new iMacs and MBP are running Mountain Lion. The older Lion.
Since upgrading to ML my connection speed both over the wifi and directly connecting to the router has dropped from 30-50 down and 5 up to between 1-4 down and 4 up. I have had the cable folks here to test lines. We've swapped out the modem with a new one. I bought a new netgear N600. Everything led to the same result.
Here's the odd part. When restarting the modem and plugging it directly into the powerbook, initial tests show 30-50 up and 5 down. But once you reconnect to wifi, lose speed, the re-connect directly to the modem the slowness persists directly connected to the modem.
So I start suspecting Mountain Lion. BUT the older iMac cannot be upgraded to Mountain and is still running Lion and has the same issue. The equipment is in the same place it's always been. We've added no electronics that would be interfering with signals.
Everyone is stumped and looking suspicously at the computer and OS. Please help. I'm beginning to hear the bing bong bing bong of dial up in my head.

Can't sleep after Mountain Lion Upgrade

I have 13-Inch Mid 2009 Macbook Pro, it won't sleep after Mountain Lion upgrade. How can I solve this problem?

Hi,
After the first update to Lion, sleep problem is resovled. I am now at 10.8.1 and everything looks fine.

Cannot download Mountain Lion upgrade

I have a Late 2009 MacBook running 10.7.5 OS, using 4Mbps wifi. Went to apple.com > Mountain Lion > upgrade, which took me to App store. I clicked on the download button, clicked Buy, signed into my Apple account, clicked on Download,, and ... nothing. Tried again. Nothing. Waited. Waited, etc. Emptied cache. Tried again. Emptied cache, disabled cache, closed out all windows, shut down computer. Restarted. Went right to apple.com and app store. Same results. Click Download button...nothing.
Went to Finder > went to "~/Library/Caches/ ", closed out of everything, shut down, had coffee, turned back on, same as before - straight to app store with no ability to download.
Now what?

I found a similar problem listed after iI posted this which suggested that I go to the App sotre to check the status of my purchases - I find the Mountain Lion purchase, it says "paused" so I click "resume", waited a minute or two and it began downloading.

Apple makes you WORK HARD for your Mountain Lion upgrade

Mountain Lion was launched on 25th July. I bought a new Macbook Air on 11th July, with the promised upgrade. I did not realise that Apple was going to make me work so hard to get the upgrade, which I still don't have up till now. Lesson learnt - next time, I should wait till the launch of a new OS to get the new OS rather than wait for an upgrade.
The waiting time would mean I'll get a new computer with the OS installed at the same time as I would have if I had ordered it on 25th July, without the work.
My note to Apple feedback below posted for everyone's benefit, seeing that Apple states they don't respond to the feedback they receive.
---- Note to Apple feedback ---
I had to use my Apple ID to create an account and order a new MacBook Air, which I did on 11th July. I received the item and waited for the Mountain Lion upgrade which is promised as free.
I did not realise that Apple was going to make me work to get the upgrade. It would have been easier to just wait for the upgrade before buying your product.
Why is it necessary to go through such a convulated application process to get the mountain lion upgrade?
Why is Apple asking for information such as what I ordered (which qualifies for the upgrade), if it is in my Apple ID account and you already knew that 10.8 would be available on 25th July?
Why do I need to re-submit my hardcopy order chit (which by the way, was disposed upon receipt of the Macbook)and other documentation to prove my purchase?
This has inconveinced me greatly as I had to find a scanner to scan the document for submission.
This seems a rather antiquated and bureaucractic process for a company which is supposed to be on the technological edge, and which is delivering the OS to me using MY DATA PLAN and not providing me any hardcopies to justify the additional work required on my part.
So far, I have wasted 1 hour to make the claim ... and now I am told I have to wait at least 72hours to get the key, at which point it will probably take me another few hours to install the OS.
Which also means that I will also be receiving the new OSX at least 5 days after its launch - as late as it would have been if I had just waited till 25th July to order the mac.
Kindly review your processes.

I decided to make a second application last night with the invoice printed from the online store just in-case the first set was rejected.
Well, this morning - both claims came back rejected. The first one on the basis the scan was not clear (huh ?) ... and the second because my mid-2012 (july) Macbook 13" air does not qualify for the upgrade. huh ??
I called the help line and they are as puzzled ... so they said they will escalate it. From what they can see in the system, it should have gone through. Given its now the weekend, it will be another 3 days of delay at the least.
It's almost as if they have created mounds of bureaucracy for nothing, to make their customers jump through hoops.
I really should have stuck to ordering it with 10.8 installed... it was just waiting another week. Big regret.
Now I am stuck in an endless array of form submissions, online forms, talking to Apple support ... waiting ... waiting ... waiting. ..

Why is it taking do long for my free mountain lion upgrade?

I don't understand why I should have to apply for an upgrade when I bought the computer within the grace period for A free upgrade .Then after submitting the application I never even got a confirmation email. The whole reason I didn't just wait to buy the MacBook pro was because I was eligible for the
Upgrade for free. If I don't receive my code today I will just return the machine and re buy a new one with mountain lion pre loaded.

Welcome to the vaunted "Apple Experience".... If all 4 million of us (and did they really sell that many things eligible for an upgrade?) showed up unannounced for a genius bar appointment at our Apple store to request our Mountain Lion upgrade redemptions, we could really get their attention.
Right now it is rumoured that Apple is outsourcing the verification of our claims to DogBert's Elbonian workers at 31 cents an hour. They get to read our personal proofs of purchase and decide if they look real or fake. But because that process would be too involved, it has been reported that the Elbonians instead print out each claim, fold it into a paper airplane, and judge the validity of the claim by how far the paper airplane flies. Because it is Dogberts Elbonian workers who are using mountains of paper in this futile exercise, Apple can deny that they are personally responsible for mowing down whole forests to print these millions of proofs.
If we all showed up at the Genius bar, Apple would instead be forced to have $8.45/hr. workers deal with our requests. And all they would be able to tell us is send a claim to Dogbert, so we wouldn't adversely impact Dogbert's workers. The Apple store blue shirts, unable to solve our problem, would at least be able to ask us how it feels to be an Apple owner, and offer consolation why trying to sell us a nano....
Let's just hope the upcoming war in Elbonia doesn't get in the way of the codes....

I got a macbook pro retina and when the mountain lion upgrade was release, I purchase the upgrade instead of waiting the redemption code. Is there any way to get a redemption code and get a refund of the upgrade paid for?

How to retrieve Mountain Lion Upgrade codes ?

I requested my Mountain Lion Upgrade codes on the 26/7 for a Mac Book Pro, and Macbook Air I purchased 2 days before. I received a Claim reference but nothing else since. No emails, nothing. Can I use the claim reference to download the upgrade codes ? If not, how do I retrieve my upgrade codes ?

Keep in mind, for downloading Mountain Lion from the App Store, a high speed (broadband) internet connection is strongly recommended by Apple as noted here > iTUNES STORE - MAC APP STORE - TERMS AND CONDITIONS
If you need to reinstall OS X or repair the the startup disk using Mountain Lion Recovery, that requires broadband access to the internet via Wi-Fi or an Ethernet connection. OS X is downloaded over the internet form Apple when OS X Recovery is used for reinstallation.

I bought a Mountain Lion upgrade for $20 off the Apple site. I have four other Macs all under the same ID. How can I share the new OS with other computers. Or can I?

You can share it with other Macs under your control (not your neighbor's). You just need to be logged in under the buying AppleID for updates or to download again.

Do you get this window when you hold down the Command+Option keys and launch iPhoto?
If not then you're not holding down both keys long enough.

Enabled fonts not showing up in InDesign after Mountain Lion Upgrade

After upgrading to Mountain Lion, fonts that are enabled in Font Book (Adobe open Type) are not showing up in InDesign CS5.5.
However, if I go to Font Book and disable the fonts, then re-enable them...they will show up in InDesign.
Anyone know how to fix this?
Thanks!

It sounds like a small glitch in your Mountain Lion upgrade. If you're just done an in-place upgrade (not a clean install) these things can happen.
It sounds like you've found the workaround. But if you discover other problems with the upgrade, you should consider a clean install. Do a Google search on "clean install Mountain Lion" to find out how.

Downloading Mountain Lion upgrade from App Store failed

I'm upgrading my wife's iMac from Snow Leopard 10.6.8 to Mountain Lion. Just tried to download the Mountain Lion upgrade from the App Store. I paid for it, clicked on the download, the little icon did it's fancy leap down to the application bar at the bottom of the page, and the item in the app store said it was downloading as well as the white bar beneath the icon in the app bar at the bottom of the screen. Nothing happened. I left the computer and came back about ten minutes later. The app store had crashed. Rebooted it. Tried the download process again. Same result.
I paid about $20 for the system software upgrade so I would like, if possible, to use the app store item if I can. Is there a solution without a trip to the Apple Store to buy the system upgrade?
John Kendrick

Quit the App Store if it's open.
Open the Finder. From the Finder menu bar top of your screen click Go > Go to Folder
Type this exactly as you see it here:
/Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration
Click Go
Move the NetworkInterfaces.plist file from the SystemConfiguration folder to the Trash.
Relaunch the App Store and try downloading Mountain Lion.
