Mountain lion redeem code gets osx server? Apple messed again??!
I asked apple support and they said mountain lion and server are the same thing!! Do these people know what they are talking about?!
Wasted too much time on this. Apple support really needs to improve.
Apple support don't read these discussions.

Mountain lion redeem code doesn't work!!!
The codes got sent out pre-maturely on the 23rd to some folks. And now on the go-live those codes have been re-used.

In short - wait for a new email from apple. -
Mountain Lion redeem code not working
Hi. I recently bought a Macbook Pro and it was 10.7.4. I got a redeem code for Mountain Lion and used it to download. In the downloading process, I accidently shutdown my Macbook. When I tried re-downloading again, a message pops up and says that the code can only be used once. Help?
I do have the correct code(Apparently.), but Apple said this code has already been used. Please help. I typed it when I was signing up my account for the App Store in the Redeem section and then typed it again in the Redeem under Quick Links. Yet, I check my purchases and it is not there.
Please help.
Edit: Never mind. ^_^; -

how can i get mountain lion reinstalled if my mac says apple id never purchased? hd failed 2 wks after wty expired, I am the original owner, put another hd in, done command-r & sys reinstalled, but it wanted to update & now am stuck. I don't mind paying for mountain lion; it is too far to get to an apple store. but, i only have one mac, so i cannot download with another mac. lots of other apple, but only one mac.
You will need to do a network recovery:
Install Lion/Mountain Lion on a New HDD/SDD
Be sure you backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive because the following procedure will remove everything from the hard drive.
Boot to the Internet Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND-OPTION- R keys until a globe appears on the screen. Wait patiently - 15-20 minutes - until the Recovery main menu appears.
Partition and Format the hard drive:
1. Select Disk Utility from the main menu and click on the Continue button.
2. After DU loads select your external hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed. Quit DU and return to the main menu.
Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion: Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion and click on the Install button. Be sure to select the correct drive to use if you have more than one.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless. -

I haven't received my mountain lion redemption code
I have been waiting for 2 hours and haven't recieved my mountain lion redemption code.
Just called Apple Australia, was told it will take 72 hours (that's 3 days) to get code. Glad I bought a new Air, thought I would be able to use ML on the day of release, but clearly that's not going to happen!
So people with older machines ineligible for Up to Date program get to play with ML before people who just spent $$ to get latest versions? Doesn't seem to be particularly balanced approach to me!!!
Shambolic, and clearly not thought out by Apple. How hard would it have been to apply for redemption code AHEAD of the release, so that the code was ready to use on the day of release? Its NOT rocket science!
MAJOR thumbs down. -
I bought my new MacBook Air on July 19 and received it on 26 and on that day I followed the steps to apply for the up-to-date program for Mountain Lion.
I finished the process and got to the final page, where upon successful completion of the forms you receive a reference code. I left that page for a few minutes and went back to copy and write down the code but the page had incurred an error and when I tried to refresh I was sent back to the start of the application process.
After completing the same steps, I got to the serial number input window and clicked 'submit' but alas, it stated that 'This is an already claimed serial number.' as I had previously entered it on my first attempt.
Anyway, I didn't receive any kind of confirmation email for my application and as I have mentioned, there is no way for me to recover my reference number for the first time I filled out the form.
Has anyone else had this same issue and/or not received a confirmation email for their successful submissions and how long does it generally take to receive the Mountain Lion redemption code email from Apple?
Thanks.Contact the Mac App Store Customer Service:

HT4007 Downgraded OS from Mavericks to Mountain Lion, how to get Aperture to work on Mountain Lion?
Downgraded OS from Mavericks to Mountain Lion, how to get Aperture to work on Mountain Lion? My iMac (Intel) is older and Apple told me this model doesn't handle Mavericks well, recommended I step back to Mountain Lion, which was where Aperture was originally used. Aperture was upgraded when I installed Mavericks, need to go back to older version. How?
Erase disk drive
Restore backup made prior to upgrade

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. -
Upgrading to Mountain Lion using free upgrade, download froze halfway, tried again and unable to use same code twice. Is there a way I can get a new code without having to submit other information (scan/photo of proof of purchase)?
Open the App Store and navigate to the Purchases tab. You should see Mountain Lion there. You can click there to restart the download.

after upgrading to mountain lion i keep getting an error message saying my startup disc is full. it shouldnt be full because there is barely anything on there and i was running windows with bootcamp prior to this with no issues. my computer now freezes and programs close randomly. The usual command for opening windows with bootcamp doesnt work. once in restarted my computer after it froze and it rebooted in windows automatically. i really just want to know if there is a way to take the upgrade off my laptop because it is very annoying.
Hi Memalyn
Essentially, the bare issue is that you have a 500GB hard drive with only 10GB free. That is not sufficient to run the system properly. The two options you have are to move/remove files to another location, or to install a larger hard drive (eg 2TB). Drive space has nothing to do with SMC firmware, and usually large media files are to blame.
My first recommendation is this: download and run the free OmniDiskSweeper. This will identify the exact size of all your folders - you can drill down into the subfolders and figure out where your largest culprits are. For example, you might find that your Pictures folder contains both an iPhoto Library and copies that you've brought in from a camera but are outside the iPhoto Library structure. Or perhaps you have a lot of purchased video content in iTunes.
If you find files that you KNOW you do not need, you can delete them. Don't delete them just because you have a backup, since if the backup fails, you will lose all your copies.
Don't worry about "cleaners" for now - they don't save much space and can actually cause problems. Deal with the large file situation first and see how you get on.
Let us know what you find out, and if you manage to get your space back.

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.
Use this thread to find a method of copying the ML download into a USB drive to make other installations easier: https://discussions.apple.com/message/16639520#16639520 -
