'Up-to-date program' wont accept UK telephone number?

Hi
(apologies if this has been covered, i couldnt find a similiar thread)
I am trying to request the free 'up-to-date' mountain lion update for my retina MacBook however it is asking for my telephone numbe in US format when i'm from the UK and hence not letting me progress any further... any ideas of a solution?
Thanks
T

Not always - the old Mac Up to Date program required us to send for a disk from Apple and if you didn't supply all the information required or missed the cut off date you were SOL. If anything, this system is easier for most of us.

  • HT5312 Hi, I've forgotten my username and security questions and now locked my account.  Tried contacting apple support but it wont accept my telephone number. I can't chat with Apple as I don't have a contact.  Is there a support contact number please? T

    Just trying to back up my data. I have now closed my email account of my original email so cant receive email or remember security questions.  Tried setting up another account but it doesnt allow access to iCloud.  Now managed to lock my account for 8 hours.  Unable to Chat with Apple as I dont have a contract.   Tried submitting a telephone request - it just tells me to add a valid number (which I did offer up home and mobile) neither of which were accepted.  So completely stuck after starting this 5 hours ago.  Does anybody know if Apple has a telephone support contact number please that I can ring and actually speak to somebody?  Thanks!

    You'd selected the correct country for you and your iTunes account ? The form has validation to check that the phone number is valid for the country that you select.
    If your country appear on this page then try the link/number for it : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699

  • Can I install the online version rather than using my dvd? it successfully installed (up to a point) that way, it just wont accept my serial number for some reason. my dvd isnt working properly.

    Can I install the online version rather than using my dvd? it successfully installed (up to a point) that way, it just wont accept my serial number for some reason. my dvd isnt working properly.

    If it gets far enough to reject your serial number, it won't help to download it. It must have installed ok.
    What is the message you get (DON'T tell us the serial number!!)?
    Does it mention a "qualifying product" by any chance?

  • I have LR5 student on my iMac but need it on my laptop, when I try to install it wont accept the serial number I was given last Feb.  Does this mean I can no longer use/install this product?

    I have LR5 student on my iMac but need it on my laptop, when I try to install it wont accept the serial number I was given last Feb.  Does this mean I can no longer use/install this product?

    No, you should be able to use/install LR5.  Make sure you are using the correct number.  If the problem continues explain the details of what you do and what happens.
    You should try contacting Adobe Support thru chat and see if they can resolve this with you.  or the link below click the Still Need Help? option in the blue area at the bottom and choose the chat option...

  • Registration will not accept my telephone number

    I have a Satellite the registration form will not accept my telephone number no matter how I present the numbrer! The upgrade system is incomprehensible there is no clue as to what you are required to achieve success.
    I have been computing for some 40 years the Toshiba registration and upgrade system is the most baffling and obtuse of any I have used.

    Hey,
    Maybe you have done something wrong?!
    Do you want to register your notebook on Toshiba page and where exactly?
    On your notebook the Toshiba registration tool is also installed and can be used for notebook registration. Does it work?

  • TS1139 I'm trying to process my first iPhoto order and I can't get past the fact it won't accept my telephone number. Thinking this may be a format glitch, I have tried to get around this but no success. Any suggestions? Yours in frustration:( CW

    I'm trying to process my first iPhoto order and I can't get past the fact it won't accept my telephone number. Thinking this may be a format glitch, I have tried to get around this by spacing but no success. I live in Australia and the prefix is +61.  Any suggestions welcome? Yours in frustration:( CW

    Experiment - or search these forums - someone discovered a solution and it was a format issue
    The US format for phone numbers is 10 digits  AAA-PPP-NNNN - you do not include the 01+ here typically - maybe if you can out your digites in that format it will work
    Hopefully someone from down under will tell how they do it

  • OS X Lion Up to Date Program won't qualify serial number on new iMac

    I purchased this refurbished iMac thru the Apple Store Online - which is where I saw that it should be eligible for the OS upgrade.

  • I am trying to install Logic studio on my second computer and it wont accept the serial number

    I already have Logic Studio on my Macbook with no problems.Now I want to install it on my Imac,but it keeps saying that my serial number is invalid.
    The serial number is correct.Does anybody know why this would be happening.

    First thing to check is that your entering the correct serial number and not say the product code etc, then tripple check the characters are correct like a figure one not a letter i, zero instead of letter O. Stupid I know but it's caught a dullard like me out a number of times!
    There should be no reason why it wouldnt work - ive got the same Logic Pro 9 on my macbook and now new iMac.
    Hope you get it sorted okay.

  • CS3 upgrade wont accept older serial number in stage 2  :(

    Hi folks,
    I have been happily using Photoshop CS for years and then got a retina with Mavericks...
    So I had to up the ante but since I couldn't afford CC or CS5+ I got myself CS3 on eBay.  Now- it was sold as "full retail" but turns out is only an upgrade but with serial number et al.  No HUGE problem as I did have my Photoshop CS serial number and unboxed disk still.  Or so I thought.
    But it works fine to install and even to trial, but when I get to the point of my CS serial number to "upgrade" from it doesn't like my CS serial number.  Meaning- I cannot upgrade!
    What could the matter be?  My CS serial number is fine and it does work fine on my older Mac running CS still, just not on either Mac (both the retina and the older Mac which I tested just to rule out the retina not acknowledging CS) to upgrade to CS3.
    Also-  I would like to register CS3 even though it is only an upgrade but it is already registered.  IS there provision for owners of preowned Photoshops?  I do have the bonafide disk, complete with workshop and box etc.

    I just got my transcript from the chat where I am told I cannot be helped with my issue with the CS3 upgrade because I haven't been able to register the serial/licence to myself and where I signed off after apologising to the operative for wasting their time only to find that they had tagged this mysterious bit at the end, after I closed the window:
    *bleep* :But in case of the upgrade cs3 serial number , sometimes there are trouble to unlock it .
    *bleep* :so we need to unlock the serial number in the different way.
    Obviously I cannot now ask what on earth that means. 
    Wee Moan Alert:  I am so stressed by this as the whole reason for this is that my beloved MacBook Pro died on me just ten days after having been "repaired" by the local Apple "mechanic" and they suspect that this time it is the motherboard or logic board which made it uneconomical to repair and I had to stump out for a new retina which can only run Mavericks and Mavericks requires CS3 upward, has no Super Drive and "outdated" any of my non-native software so that this has been EXCEEDINGLY expensive.
    I didn't WANT to upgrade CS (I like it-  it is familiar and NEVER let me down) but had to so thought that at least buying a bonafide second-hand (full retail) version would be the best of both worlds-  genuine (I like genuine and have more ancient boxed software than is sane) AND not going to break me financially (blood and stones, blood and stones!). /end moan

  • Why does iphoto not accept my phone number when filling out shipping info for buying cards??

    Im trying to generate some thank you cards in iphoto 11 and when paying for them, it wont accept my telephone number in the Primary number box, which is in the delivery contact bit in the shipping information box. The telephone number keeps going red and i cant get any further with ordering the thank you cards. I have been to Itunes to check my billing and payment information and im using the same telephone number so i cant see why it wnt do it?? Please help as these thank you cards are from my kids to grandparents and other family members and my wife is getting irate at me, because i havent done what should be a simple thing!!!!!
    Many thanks if you can help.

    Try going to the Apple store (store.apple.com) and re-entering it in your account there and be sure that one click ordering is turned on and try again
    Also I'v eseen reports that number of digits can cause this if you are in an area that uses a different number of digits - I believe that someone reported that they had to move one digit to another field to get it to work - you might search the fourms for that post

  • HT4061 I downloaded  IOS7 on My Iphone5 and put in a 4 digit lock code for find my phone but My phone wont Accept it. It wont let me restore/backup.

    I put in My IMEI code and ICLOUD tells me THAT THE product has been replaced. I am doing This to TRY TO ACTIVATE MY IPHONE5 AS it wont Accept My 4 digit code after downloading IOS7
    So My phone in disabaled, wont let me backup,restore kos FIND MY PHONE IS TURNED ON! How Canon i turn it on if phone is disabaled and computer wont recognise phone kos its locked and if i reboot it it demands i enter code (how Can i, phone,computer wont Accept) TALK ABOUT BANGING MY HEAD AGAINST A WALL, ALL I WANT IS TO USE MY PHONE . APPLE INTRODUCE NEWS SUPER SYSTEM, BETTER THIS, BETTER THAT, HA. IVE SPENT ALL YESTERDAY AND STILL TRYING TO RESOLVE THIS, LET ALONE MAKE A SIMPLE PHONE CALL!
    HELP ME SOMEONE PLEASE ,PLEASE

    You can't restore a backup to a phone that is running a version of iOS earlier than the version running when the backup was made.  Normaly this situation occurs when replacing a phone, and the eplacement OS is not up to date.  The fix is to update the replacement phone, then restore from the backup.
    You could try an older backup made with iOS6.
    Anyway, why do you need all your info on it while the screen is being fixed?

  • Down loaded latest Maps 3ovi on N96. program wont ...

    Hi
    I Down loaded latest Maps 3ovi on N96. program wont open. The task bar goe's across the screen then stops then goe's back to the main menu screen.
    Can anyone help? I have uninstalled it but even maps 2 wouldn't work now .

    When you used Maps Updater to install Maps 3, did it successfully install the app AND continue to delete map data and replace it?
    Delete the Cities folder and the file called QF from the mass memory, then restart Maps - it should start OK and then you need to let it connect briefly to the internet. You can then redownload the maps for Maps 2 from Map Loader.
    If you update again to Maps 3, check that the update process completes fully, including replacing the map data, and if not do the same thing - kill Cities and QF then restart Maps

  • CS3 Wont accept mpeg 1 or 2

    CS3 Wont accept mpeg 1 or 2 do you know whats going on?
    Is there a way to make it accept all file formats? Why does premiere elements accept all file formats but pro cs3 not?

    From Renee Chevalier after months away.
    I came back here after my RANT at Adobe and still feel that Adobe has let users down.
    And to the People who call them selves professionals let me say this.
    You are a bunch of A-- H--- when you support a product with your type of attitude that it is a professional product dont try to import lesser quality MPEG video into it. Well I guess that leaves us professionals out that do make money making movies and also putting programs up on the PEG stations and doing Commercials. WE who do not sit in judgment on our laurels telling others that they are not professionals if they use an MPEG camera. We who take that footage of a Tornado or a Hurricane and get it ready for the big time news casts. We non professionals who make sure people get the whole story. OH so sorry we are not professionals because we use MPEG footage.
    Well I guess my answer to that is sit on your high perch and judge others but every once and a while look at your self important position and kick your self in the A-- Because you deserve it. And if you want me to do it for you I will come and do it for you just give me the time and place.
    Adobe has gotten too big for its own good. They are producing programs taking out things that were included in older versions and not including them in the newer versions. And the sales staff doesnt know what is in the program because they are in India and dont use the programs because they make 2 dollars a day.
    If Adobe has so many money problems maybe they should take a page out of Toyota's way of doing business. Perfect, Perfect, Perfect, the product to the point where it doesnt have any operating problems at all. Then keep it around for 5 years before you change it again. Hire people who actually use the product and have put it through the paces to the point of making sure that it works in and on all TVs and computers and professional equipment. Hell that product CS 3 and 4 wouldnt even work with my JVC Deck. I have to import footage DV and mini DV footage from a camera or into MS Movie Maker. How professional is that. So MR Professional look at the pros out using the product before you start your rant about what should and shouldnt be used. Remember it isnt February 09 yet. And even after February 09 the PEG stations and even some others will still be broadcasting in non digital format. So the MPEG Format is just fine and is as good or better than the Transmitted TV signal.

    Do you work for ADOBE? Is the only editing you do with a computer screen with a customer that calls with a problem?
    Get off your high horse.
    Adobe has many problems and one is that they are not able to do what is necessary to stay the course and stay in business.
    After my rant I called Adobe and asked them about the fix I found on another forum not this one. They said that it would not work. They also said that it was not a sanctioned fix and if it did work by chance they could not tell anyone to do it.
