Purchased Mountain Lion about a week ago and still cannot redeem it from Apple Store. Getting a "please try again later" error?

Guys,
I have Lion. I have software that is not yet ready for Yosemite and I need to download video editing software that will only run on Mountain Lion and above. With this in mind, I purchased Mountain Lion online LAST WEEK. I received the secure email/pdf and tried to redeem it from Apple Store. I keep getting this message: "This item is being modified. Please try again later". That was about 6 DAYS AGO. I gave it some time and tried today and I am still getting this message.
What is going on? Called customer service and got disconnected twice (I don't think intentionally though). The third person had more info on this and it seems that Apple is just finding out about this and it may be related to the Watch rollout. Why don't Apple people say something? I check online and my order says "complete" but I have not received what I paid for and there's an error occurring. Now I am just here waiting to see if and when I can get this software.
Can someone provide more info on this? Is there another way to get Mountain Lion? Is it available on disc?
Without the OS upgrade I cannot use the video editing software.

I started downloading Mountain Lion about 30 mins ago and I see no progress. I'm downloading it through my wifi. Is this normal? Should I go to a hard line in instead? Thanks......

You're not using the fast tracks midi out you are using the analog/digital audio.
But go to garageband preferences > Audio Midi and I'm guessing you have the wrong output set. Choose the output that you are using, I'm going to guess built in.
And make sure the fast track is set for audio input.

Help, I can't sign in to Visual Studio Community 2013 "Something went wrong and we can't sign you in right now. Please try again later."

Hi, can anyone help me further diagnose?
On Windows 7 64-bit, whenever I try to sign into Visual Studio Community 2013 I get a bunch of clicking sounds, and then "Something went wrong and we can't sign you in right now. Please try again later."
I installed the 2013 update 4 just recently (3/23)
I was getting this error back in February

Hi HuggyPaul,
Thank you for posting in MSND forum.
>>whenever I try to sign into Visual Studio Community 2013 I get a bunch of clicking sounds, and then "Something went wrong and we can't sign you in right now. Please try again later."
Based on your issue, I suggest you could try to use an another microsoft live-in user account to sign in the Visual Studio Community 2013 to check if you can sign in the VS2013 Community with update 4.
Or you could try to use same user account to sing same version of VS2013 Communty with Update 4 on other machien and the check if you can sign in this VS 2013 Community with update 4.
(1)If you could sign in the VS2013 Community update4 by the another user account on your machien, I think that the issue maybe related to your user account.
(2)If you still could not sign in VS 2013 Community update 4, maybe you will need to repair or re-install this VS2013 Community with update 4.
In addition, please tell me what browser you use on your machine.
If your machien just insatall other browser such as chrome, please try to install the IE and then check this issue again.
From this error message, i find a similar thread about your issue, maybe it can help you.

IE11 Microsoft links - "Something went wrong and we can't sign you in right now. Please try again later."

I'm sure I'm not the only one who gets this error.
I use Windows 8.1 and many time when I try to access a KB or a Microsoft link I get this error:
"Something went wrong and we can't sign you in right now. Please try again later."
it can happen either if I search something on google or enter a link inside Microsoft\TechNet\MSDN etc...
when I try to open the same link on Google Chrome or Mozilla Firefox - it opens immediately as expected!
I know IE opens my sessions with an integration to my Microsoft ID, though I don't see any reason why it will block me from entering Microsoft links
any ideas?

Yes. Infuriating symptom. I'm still working on the hypothesis that is related to my accounts' credentials. I have not yet resorted to using Credentials Manager to completely deleting everything there. I have an idea that this atrocious
UX (It gets even worse if you try exploring the other options.) may be a really obnoxious hint to try changing my passwords, e.g. since I recently upgraded to W8.1 from W8.1 Preview. I contacted MS Support but their only suggestions were: to
do RIES (e.g. since the symptom shows on my browser, it
must be the browser that is the problem and ignoring my explanation that I had already proven that existing Cookies could not be the cause); try using a different browser (which I don't have yet because of the new OS); and then if that doesn't work try
to refresh the OS! (Talk about sledge hammer solutions to avoid doing diagnosis.)
A workaround is to open a new session where I won't be logged in and then I can just use the KB URL anonymously. (E.g. in IE press Alt-F, i. InPrivate Browsing mode (Ctrl+Shift+P will probably work too.) Annoying but not as irritating
as that damned UX.

Keep getting "Something went wrong and we can't sign you in right now. Please try again later."

I try to download some items. I keep getting "Something went wrong and we can't sign you in right now. Please try again later."
I was logged in to Live, but somehow it is getting lost. I have tried both Chrome and IE. Is there something wrong at MS or with my account? Also, it took me 15 minutes to find anywhere to submit a problem or question...very frustrating.
It kept sending me to self help where none of the options were relevant.

Can't login to hotmail on only firefox - "Something went wrong and we can't sign you in right now. Please try again later."

I have cleared cache and cookie and keep getting this message when i try to log into hotmail. Only happens in Mozilla, not other browsers. "Something went wrong and we can't sign you in right now. Please try again later."
It's been 10 days and nothing works.

It is possible that the cookies.sqlite file that stores the cookies is corrupted if clearing cookies doesn't work.
Rename (or delete) cookies.sqlite (cookies.sqlite.old) and delete other present cookies files like cookies.sqlite-journal in the Firefox profile folder in case the file cookies.sqlite got corrupted.

I downloaded Mountain Lion a few weeks ago and ever since, as I'm reading e-mail or anything actually, the screen shifts, like a nervous tick, and during that few seconds it's frozen. Nothing responds. Can this be corrected?

I downloaded Mountain Lion a few weeks ago. Almost immediately I noticed that there was an issue. Every few minutes the screen or page I have open, e-mail, Facebook etc. will start to "jiggle" side to side. Like a nervous tick. During the few seconds it's doing that nothing else responds, it freezes my mouse etc. I guess I was hoping it would go away! Everything else is working just fine, and it never did this until I updated to Mountain Lion. Can this be fixed?

It is probably some incompatible 3rd party software.
I wrote a little diagnostic program to help show what might be causing these problems. Download EtreCheck from http://www.etresoft.com/download/EtreCheck.zip, run it, and paste the results here.

According to WhatsApp, service is back up & running. Did have a 4 hour outage:

I filled out my info for my free copy of mountain lion almost 24 hours ago and still have not received conformation email. Whats up?

Has this happened to anyone else too?

Woke up this morning hoping to have the code, but nope... still hasn't come. Just like you, I submitted my original request 25 hours ago now, and have yet to hear ANYTHING from Apple.
I'm disappointed that the only answer I get is an AppleCare representative telling me to read the terms and conditions of requesting and then reading it and saying that it says processing will take up to 24 hours.
I expected better execution of this up-to-date program from Apple. I'm guessing it has to do with the botched codes going out that are showing up as already used.
Let's hope it will be today!

I purchased Creative Cloud about two weeks ago and HAVE NOT been able to download...

I was able to snag AI and PS CC but ever since downloading those the day I purchased I have errors when I try to download anything else. Regardless of doing it through the webpage or the desktop app. I have a mid-2012 macbook pro 15" running mavericks,

Ordered a refurbished iPod nano about a week ago, and still haven't gotten a "processed" email. How long does this usually take?

It's all in the title.

Hello Ha_gaaabe,
Thank you for posting with us!
I can certainly understand that waiting for a refund can be very disappointing, especially if it takes more than the time expected. Normally, credit card refunds can take a few days and up to a billing cycle depending on your financial institution.
Per the information you’ve provided in your profile (email address), I took some time to check the order. It seems as though what you saw was not an actual charge but an authorization. Essentially, authorizations can also take a few days to be posted on your account. With that said, I am hoping that during the next few days you’re able to make use of your funds.
Please let me know if you have any questions I can answer for you.
Best Wishes,

When accessing Hotmail, get comment: Something went wrong and we can't sign you in right now. Please try again later. Thank you.

It happened suddenly. After that, I reset computer to an earlier date. Did not fix problem. I reloaded Internet explorer, Version 8. Did not fix problem. I can access Hotmail from another computer without problem. I think I changed something in tools that might have caused the problem. All fixes and virus checking are up to date.
Appreciate any help you can provide.

My macbook crashed about two weeks ago and I had icloud already set up. How do I go about retrieving the music and images? Please, help me. I had over 10gb of music on that computer and the only place it was backup was icloud. Thanks.

I hate to say this, but unless you are paying the 25 bucks you cannot back up your library to the cloud.
All you can do is back up the items you "purchased" from Apple.
iTunes Match
For $24.99/year you’ll get access to all your iTunesmusic including tunes you ripped from CDs or “borrowed” from anonymous friends. It scans your library to see if the song exists in iTunes’ 18 million song catalog and if it does it’ll stream it to you at 256 kbps. If your song is not in iTunes then it’ll be uploaded to iCloud at whatever rate it is on your device where it can be streamed for your listening pleasure. I cannot find any information on how to restore a library, however
Best of luck

I allowed Apple updates about two weeks ago and now Safari is way too slow. I have tried using Airport and Ethernet and the problem is the same. Yesterday, I updgraded to Safari 5.1 and the problem is now worse. Any solutions?

I can't stand peremptory affirmations like "Nothing is wrong with Safari".
Thousands of users can't be wrong (see the discussions).
If I read you the right way, it's never software' fault, it's the user who's the culprit.
Amazing!
In this very case, the fact is we can't give to "christinefromfonthill" a good solution because weren't sitting in front of her Mac.
You give her a good advice which could, perhaps, lead to an improvement.
But must also admit that Safari is a very slow browser compared to Firefox or Chrome.
And you can't ignore all the problems which arose when upgrading to Lion and were related to the new build and specs of Safari 5.1.
The best example is the apparition of "garbage type" (use of Last Resort font) when reading numerous sites. This never occured before and is the direct consequence of Safari compliance to Web Open Type. This standard prohibits the use of Type 1 Postscript Fonts and is the reason why so many people are in trouble.
I use a Mac for more than 25 years.
I am a very "clean" user who hates the bells and whistles of third party.
My Mac is always up-to-date and despite all my Mac loving care, I run into some problems.
Imagine the nightmare which can occurs for the vulgum pecus who isn't, by definition, a power user aware of all the requirements for running a System in optimal conditions.
May be Safari is one step in advance on its time but lambda users are paying the price for it.
