Mountain Lion free upgrade problems

I bought my new macbook pro 13 in on fri, 13 of Jul, and I want the free upgrade to Mountain lion, but it won't let me type in my country.
Also, what is "right to copy"?

Click the link above. It will tell you about the problems with codes/etc affecting Mountain Lion.
I decided I'm going to wait it out before making the upgrade, especially because last year so many people were downloading at the same time, it was slow.
Hope this helps you.

    Mountain lion free upgrade menu is fade away. I want to upgrade my macbookair

    You probably have exceeded the maximum time and now will have to pay ($20) for the upgrade. However you can attempt to contact AppleCare and see if they will allow a free upgrade. It might be worth the   phone call.

    Plz Help

    You are not alone in this, Maddy. I had the same thing happen. Apple obviously sent incorrect codes that redeemed for OS X Server instead of Mountain Lion. I called Apple Care who said that it must be some server fluke and that they would get back to me within 24 hours.

    i participated in the mountain lion free upgradde for new owners but i cannot open the content code because the password is too long! HELP!

    What happened was that the password was 32 characters long and the field that they give you to use would not allow you to manually type those characters in (crazy huh?) but it took it when i copied and pasted it in!

  • Mountain Lion Free upgrade error

    I tried the mountain lion free update page,  I answered all the questions and it keeps indicating in red to correct the number of "right to copy" computers.  I entered one and it still gives me an error.  I purchased my new Mac online on July 16, 2012
    I am also working off of wifi if this has anything to do with the error.

  • Mountain Lion free upgrade eligibility denied

    I keep getting emails from apple saying a proof of purchase was not provided in order to get my free upgrade to mountain lion. I had already scanned my receipt. The full receipt has the date, my name, and the last four digits of my debit card, verifying that I paid for it. Please help!

    I've been getting the same emails...
    I can't believe how poorly Apple has managed this whole process. Very disapointed... will be making a call to address this. I have so far provided every peice of information available to me and they have still rejected my claim.

  • Mountain Lion - free upgrade

    Greetings
    I applied for my free upgrade to Mountain Lion on 25th July and have not received anything as yet. I read on this forum that upgrade codes will take between 24 and 72 hours to process. My application has well exceeded that. I was given a reference number and am wondering if there is anyway I can query this. Thank you.
    Regards
    Ric

    I would call the Apple Support, as people have stated it sped up their time of receiving the code, especially since its been more than 5 days since you received your reference code.

  • Mountain Lion Free Upgrade Codes Missing

    Argh!
    I'm on my 3rd day now and no codes are appearing for my free upgrade.
    You'd think spending >$5500 on 2 MacBook Pros would qualify me for something other than Frustration.
    Serves me right for being an iDiot.

    I'm surprised your wait has been so long.  Both the machines I picked up I simply walked into the Huntsville, Alabama Apple Store, paid, set up, and walked out.  I don't know if being a business customer helped me.
    Nce drive - you've got the SAMSUNG 830 series - very fast.....Hope that's what I get......
    Mine took so long because I ordered it with the 768GB drive.....Didn't want to end up with something smaller since i couldn't upgrade it in the future...
    I too like the idea that it's pretty light since I travel a lot too...
    Thanks for sharing......Have a good day...

  • Can I use my mountain lion free upgrade on all my macs?

    Can I get confirmation from someone who tried and succeeded to upgrade his macs without paying a license ?

    Once you have ML in your purchases tab at the App Store, you can download it and install it in your other Macs, provided they're yours, and for personal non-commercial use. You can read about this in full in the license agreement (About my Mac menu option, then click on License Agreement)

  • I need to upgrade Snow Leopard to get icloud before my mobileme expires at the end of June.  If I buy Lion, will I be able to upgrade to Mountain Lion free when it comes out?  When is MLion going to be released in UK?

    I am running Snow Leopard and have a Mobile Me account.  My Mobile Me account expires at the end of June.  I have been told that I will need to buy the Lion upgrade to run icloud on my imac, but I am aware that Lion is due to be replaced by Mountain Lion this summer.  I don't want to have to buy two up grades!  Will Mountain Lion be released before my mobile me account expires?  If not and I buy the Lion upgrade, will I be able to upgrade it to Mountain Lion, free, in view of the fact that I will only have had Lion for a very short time and could not avoid this purchase??????

    HI...
    We have no way of knowing exactly when Mountain Lion will be released. Most likely, if you upgrade to Lion now you'll be able to upgrade to Mountain Lion, but the actual minimum requirements are unknown at this time.
    Lion is only $29.99 plus any applicable taxes and fees and available from the App Store, or you can purchase the thumb drive > OS X Lion USB Thumb Drive - Apple Store
    Make sure your Mac meets Lion's requirements.
    Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7, or Xeon processor
    2GB of memory
    OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
    7GB of available space
    Apple - OS X Lion - Technical specifications
    Read BEFORE upgrading to Lion >  Lion upgrade questions: Apple Support Communities

    Hi Fred,
    Could be many things, we should start with this...
    "Try Disk Utility
    1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
    2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu at the top of the screen. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
    Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.
    3. Click the First Aid tab.
    4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
    5. Click Repair. Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
    Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
    (Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.)
