Redeem OS X Mountain Lion

Hi,
My OS has recently been corrupted somehow, so I've had to delete the OS and reinstall it. But my problem is I dont have the account anymore to which the OS was bought on as it was my Ex girlfriends dad who did it for me. So I've recently bought it again, and I can't find anywhere to which I can redeem it without the Mac Store
At the moment I only have Bootcamp installed my
Is there anyway I can redeem this code via windows onto the account?
Thanks,
Cam

You should be able to use internet recovery to reinstall OSX. To my understanding, the original operating system of the machine is tied to the machine and not any apple ID which may also be associated with it.

  • Redeem code for Mountain Lion in the App Store

    I input my redeem code for Mountain Lion in the App Store and it said it was downloading, but nothing happend.  How do I know if the upgrade has been completed?

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    Open the Mac App Store and press the Redeem button:

  • Password to redeem, OS X Mountain Lion Up-To-Date program

    how to redeem, password to open unlock file, OS X Mountain Lion Up-To-Date program

    While not very clear...
    You will have received two emails.  One email contains a code to unlock the PDF file in the other email.  The PDF contains the redeem code.  Open the app store, click redeem under quick links on the right.
    If this doesn't help, be more clear.

  • How do I redeem OS X Mountain Lion?

    The redeem code, when submitted in the App Store, brings up my apple ID login along with a message to choose three security questions and answers. When I login, the message stays the same and the login just reappears. So I am stuck in a loop and can't redeem the OS X Mountain Lion software.

  • App store won't accept the code that apple sent me to redeem my free mountain lion?

    it keeps saying that the code is incorrect but i copy it exactly how it is in my email.
    thanks

    You received two codes.  One was in the first email, and included dashes.  That is the code used to open a PDF file in the second email.  That PDF file contains a long (12 digit, I think) code without dashes.  That is the code you must use in the App Store to get your Mountain Lion.

  • Can I redeem the $20 after purchasing Mountain Lion for my new Macbook Pro

    Hey there, I purchased a Macbook Pro in late June 2012, reading the redeem page for Mountain Lion 2 weeks ago it stated to come back after making a purchase of Mountain Lion, so I purchased the update and now realised i could of downloaded it for free, is it possible to get a rebate from Apple, or did I just waste $20????

    Apple most likely won't give 20 dollars of store credit....you can always call them but I doubt they will let you redeem...in the end they want your money..

  • 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. ^_^;

    Hi,
    I have a macbookpro mid 2012 md 101, i got the redeem code for mountain lion on purchase of my macbookpro last year. yesterday i tried to reinstall mountain lion from recovery. howvever, it failed i don't know why. and it went on the internet download and instead of downloading Mountain Lion again it downloaded and install Lion.

    Please help me out - how do i get back my mountain lion.
    Thnak you.

    Redemption codes may only be used once.
    Open the Mac App Store, click the Purchases pane, if your purchases do not apear sign into your account through the Store pulldown menu in the MAS menubar. You should see the Mt Lion installer among your purchases, download and install. After that use Software Update to make sure you have the most recent version of Mt Lion.

  • I purchased Mountain Lion Software upgrade and was sent a PDF File with License

    How do I install or redeem the Apple Mountain Lion Sofware Update via a purchased Apple On Line  paper PDF File and License Number PDF ????

    You need to upgrade the computer to 10.6.3, install the 10.6.8 combo updater, and supply the download code to the Mac App Store.

  • 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.

    App Store support. There is troubleshooting and a contact link.

  • I recently downloaded mountain lion and just had it emailed to me but I'm having trouble downloading it to my computer. I cannot find the button that says "redeem" under quick links.

    I recently downloaded mountain lion and just had it emailed to me but I'm having trouble downloading it to my computer. I cannot find the button that says "redeem" under quick links.

    You must have a minimum of OS X Snow Leopard 10.6.8 installed on your Mac to have the Mac App Store. The Quick Links are on the Featured pane.

  • Redeem mountain lion software

    I have a MacBook Pro and a MacBook Air.  The Air lost its operating system somehow and would not boot.  I created a thumbdrive to boot it.  I purchased Mountain Lion.  Apple delivered a redemption code for the software.  I entered the code (on the Pro, since the Air can not get to the Mac App Store).  It said it was downloading, but after a long long time I saw no evidence of that, so I went to the Mac App Store to see what's up.  It shows the purchase on the list, but it won't download.  If I click "download" it just sits there and then reverts to the unclicked button state.   If I click on the name of the software it says "Not available in the US Store."    *** is this BS????   So far, Apple is worse than MS ever dreamed of being in every respect in this experience.   Does anyone from Appke monitor these forums?   If so, please dear God let me know how to get the software I paid for in good faith.  My email is [email protected] if that helps.  Yes, I have an Apple ID and all that crap, which I will verify if you contact me. Thank you. 

    Hi,
    Just had the same problem and was totally confused by the entire situation. No expert advice to offer and I am hopelessly confused with the new "App Store" situation - I can't even get that working on my laptop even though the App is there. I only want to load Mountain Lion into my desktop Mac Pro and things are working on that computer. After jumping through multiple hoops managed to get to the redeem point on the desktop computer. I have been using Snow Leopard and am only upgrading to Mountain Lion because I need to go to 10.8 for some other software I want to install.
    I clicked on that **** thing multiple times before I finally noticed a little tiny slider had appeared on my dock which begins filling up with blue. It takes a long while but when it is finished a little button with a Mountain Lion photo will appear in the dock and that allows you to install. Don't know if your experience will be the same and if this will be of any help but since no one has responded I thought I'd try. Yes, I had the "Not available in the US Store" thing too...oh, probably a waste of time contacting support because they gave me some canned information which applied to an iPad. Despite several emails back and forth I finally figured out the guy wasn't really reading the questions I was asking because his responses didn't apply. Duh.
