Trying to redeem a content code for Mountain Lion but says it's already used

Hello,
I just submitted my claim for a free upgrade to Mountain Lion for my new retina macbook pro. I got the e-mails with the password and the content code. I decrypted the PDF and entered the content code in the Redeem dialog in the App Store application (German App Store). But it tells me this content code has already been used and can only be used for one computer?! Do I have to wait a while until the app store knows about the content code or anyhting?
Regards
Andreas

Just called Apple, they said they are aware of the problem, and they will automatically be sending out new codes to the people that received incorrect ones within 72 hours.  That's a long time to wait for mountain lion .They said to call back if I haven't heard from them in 72 hours.

  • I have recently bought my Mac mini ( July 12) and have already requested my free update code for mountain lion, got a reference nr, but I still haven't received a code via email to update? Its been 12 days. Any advice?

    I am still in the return window but i really do not want to return my mac as i know it has the ability to do what i want, my problem is just finding the software that will work as i know there has been a lot of complications with OS X Mountain Lion with softwares that caim to be compatible but then later turn out not to be.
    I have been a windows user for years and this is really my first mac but apart from the hole software issue i find the mac 10x better than any windows computer i have ever used. For example i bought a HP laptop 4 weeks ago and has nothing but problems. At first the fans stopped working and making weird noises and then it began switching off when ever it felt like it and freezing like mad when i was trying to access the smallest program. I have found that now a days you dont get what you pay for with Windows especially since Windows 8 was released. Also Laptops such as HP now are just crammed with cheap parts, they dont take pride in their systems like they once used to unlike Apple. I know i will get more than a year or 2 out my mac (hopefully a lot more) but with windows systems it just seems to break all the time costing more money on extending warrantys. Also i like mac because i dont need to send it away if i ever get a problem, i can just take it into the apple shop half a mile down the road and they will fix it in store. Where as with windows i am waiting 2 weeks+ to just hear back from them.

  • Any Idea when Apple will email the redemption code for Mountain Lion?

    Any Idea when Apple will email the redemption code for Mountain Lion? I got a code but it said it was invalid on the app store. When will this issue be solved? Kind of getting impatient, given I dropped 2k over their product...

  • I tried to install a new os x mountain lion, but the system asked me to provide the apple id and password that was used to buy the os from the apple store online. which i don't have. how do i go ahead to install my new os x on the mC

    If you don't have the Apple ID and password, how did you get Mountain Liomn in the first place? Without the Apple ID and password, you'll need to buy it to download it.

    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 then move the NetworkInterfaces.plist file from the SystemConfiguration folder to the Trash.
    Relaunch the App Store and try downloading Mountain Lion.

  • HT201209 Having trouble redeeming my free update for mountain lion OSX..... I entered the content code that was e-mailed to me

    Because I purchased my Macbook air after July 26, 2012 I qualify for the free Mountain lion update. However the content code that they e-mailed to me is coming invalid. Why? and what do I do now. i could buy it for 19.99 but kind of a ripto buy new and reicieve old OS FML.... someone help...

    In at least some cases, the code in the body of the email unlocks an attached document which contains the actual redemption code. See if the email you received has an attachment, and if so open that and enter in the code from the email when requested.
    If there was no attachment, contact Mac App Store Customer Service and let them know about the problem. They'll probably issue you a new code as they have for other people with the same issue.
    Regards.

  • New Code for Mountain Lion upgrade is wrong

    New IMac Code sent by Apple to get Mountain Lion upgrade (free) did not work/not recognized on App Store page. What should I do?

    I saw the contact info from another search on this Forum to ask Apple for help via e-mail. They responded pretty quickly (within 30 min).
    I did not realize there was one password that was sent only to be used to open/reveal a second password (in a pdf in the first e-mail) that u actually use on th eApp store for the upgrade. Kind of confusing but I see what I did wrong now.
    It did work and is now downloading.
    So, (hopefully) problem solved.
    Nice Forum!

  • I've made my bootable disk for mountain lion but when I try to load it on my imac 2008 I get a message that I need 2g of memory. Am I trying to load it incorrectly?

    The screen is frozen and i don't know what to do.

    As shldr said, OS X Mountain Lion needs 2 GB of memory or more. If you see a message telling you that you need 2 GB or more of memory, that's because you have less memory than 2 GB on the computer.
    You have to buy more memory for your computer, and I recommend you to buy it in OWC or Crucial > http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/apple/memory/iMac
