Upgrade policy for new OS X Mavericks

I am looking to buy Mac mini right now, let's say if I bought in next few days (by Mid September) it will comes with Mountain Lion.
And new OS Mavericks launch by end of October or November.
Am I eligible for free upgrade? is it 30 days before launch date or it is after announcement? I am not sure.
Shall I hold my order until its official. Is it worth to wait?

HI,
Once Apple decide on a release date for Mavericks then they will also announce which, if any, currently On Sale Macs will be entitled to any Upgrade.
Seeing OS X 10.8.5 only came out on the 12th I doubt that it is going to be that soon.

I am unable to upgrade to the new os x mavericks

I was offered by App store to upgrade my macbook pro to the new os x mavericks and I started the download but something happened and my internet connection was lost and when I tried to resume the download it started giving me an error message "The product distribution file could not be verified. It may be damaged or was not signed." Please what do I do?

Try the suggestions here > Bugs & Fixes: Solving Mac App Store download errors
Tips for downloading from the App Store:
Mavericks requires 8GB's or more of storage space.
Click your Apple menu icon top left in your screen. From the drop down menu click About This Mac > More Info > Storage
Make sure there's at least 15% free disk space.
Apps such as Little Snitch, Growl, and MacKeeper can prevent apps from downloading
Disable anti virus software if installed
Make sure the firewall is turned off in System Preferences > Security & Privacy > Firewall

Upgrading policy for future Creative Suite products

Sorry if this topic has been addressed elsewhere. Has Adobe announced what policy will be in place when CS7 and 8 are released? Will we need to be one version back in order to take advantage of upgrade pricing or will they allow you to be able to upgrade from 2 versions back? I'm debating whether or not to go the subscription route or to skip CS6 and wait until CS7 to upgrade.

First let's be clear. I do not work for Adobe and at this point have no
inside knowledge of roadmaps.
That said, Adobe publicly announced one year upgrade cycles so you can
safely assume, if they hold to that, that you will see CS7 in the
spring. When that happens, only CS6 owners will be eligible for upgrade
pricing so there's no more skipping versions and getting an upgrade.
Based on that, it is my personal opinion that Adobe wants everyone on
Creative Cloud. It assures them a steady cash flow and quite frankly,
for a professional, it's a no brainer. You get every tool they sell for
$50/month and you get the new versions when they become available. This
is cheaper than upgrading and the first year is only $29.99/month.

Bob,
Thanks for your insight. I know when you compare the retail price of a Creative Suite the monthly Cloud does work out, but when one has been upgrading and is a small non profit user of the apps it is hard to justify the $50/month (approx. $600/year - which I agree is half of the Suite retail). A decision I don't have to make right away, although the $29.99/month first year is tempting. A close friend was surprised I had CS6 as he was still using CS3, since we're not professionals and both work in the non profit arena and fund our own software (99% at least). I told him I've been lucky to be able to work out the costs via upgrade prices - although I have to "go without" for a bit to cover it competely. We'll see what the future brings. I agree that most likely the future will be Creative Cloud - I can see the writing on the wall.

Any "discounted upgrade" option for new Acrobat 9 buyers when X is released?

I'm looking at buying Acrobat and as of right now, I notice that Adobe's website is only promoting the pre-ordering of version X (I can't even find an option to buy version 9 on here but can find it on Amazon and stuff).
I need to purchase a version of the software ASAP, but I'm just wondering: If I were to buy 9 now (right before release of X) is Adobe going to have an upgrade option that will allow me to upgrade to X without having to pay full price for the software? I'm looking at getting the highest level option (the $800 one).
Hopefully I posted this in the right section of the forum...
Thanks.

Thank you, George.
So, in other words, that means if I buy now through Amazon, I won't get the upgrade option (since it's a 3rd part site), despite the new release announcement, correct?
Is there a link anywhere on Adobe to buy version 9 now so I do qualify for the X upgrade? I can't seem to find one...

HT1338 Will there be a fee to upgrade to the new OS X Mavericks?

Fairly new to this, is there commonly a fee to upgrade?

No, the upgrades won't be free. Recent upgrades have been $20.

Upgrading itunes for new ipod 30mb - getting quicktime error message and

Hi there,
I am upgrading itunes 4.7.1 for a newly purchased ipod 30mb using itunes site downloaded setup.
I am getting an error message as it reaches a certain point and won't install.
I get this:
The cabinet file "QuickTime.cab"required is corrupt and cannot be used. This could indicate a network error, and error reading from the CD Rom or a problem with this package.
Then I get
'The installation of QuickTime did not complete. Itunes needs QuickTime'Error message 2350'
This is on a PC with an earlier version Itunes 4.7.1
QuickTime is supposedly up to date and presents not problems.
Any help would be appreciated I am a klutz....

After comprehensive net search I resolved the problem by downloading itunes/quicktime in IE. I had been using mozilla and it was a simple as this!

How does FCE upgrade work for new machines

I currently have a iMac G4 that I use FCE 2 on. I want to upgrade to FCE 3.5 HD which I see no problem with doing. I am also thinking about upgrading my hardware to a new Intel based iMac someday. Will I be able to use the upgrade FCE 3.5 software and the serial numbers from my FCE 2 to install on the newer hardware?
I guess I don't see why not but thought I whould ask before making the purchase.
Thanks
iMac Mac OS X (10.4.8)

Yes to all of that.

Upgrade Suggestions for new MacBook

Getting ready to purchase a MacBook Pro for my soon to be college student interested in Graphic Arts. She has subscribed to Adobe Creative Cloud. Any recommended upgrades to the standard 15.4 inch 2.5GHz Quad-core Intel i7 to run this software?

Order it with 4 GB RAM and then install 8 GB (or even 16 GB) third party RAM. Cheaper than having Apple do it. OWC and Crucial are the two best sources for Mac compatible RAM.
Consider ordering the MBP with the anti-glare high resolution wide screen display. I highly recommend that $100 option but look at it first.
A larger and faster HDD can always be installed later if the conditions warrant.
Ciao.

Choose upgrade processor for new Mini?

I'm considering the purchase of a new Mac MIni 2.3 GHz Quad-Core Intel Core i7. I see I can also get it with the 2.6GHz Quad-Core Intel Core i7 for $100. additional. What would that mean in performance and is it worth the extra hundred?

I agree. For everyday use, you'll see much better performance for your money with an SSD and the full 16Gb RAM you can add to a Mini. 300mHz will be negligible unless you're doing video editing and authoring, since they're both quad core.

Is there a way to create a new user template so I don't I have to set each policy for new users in control panel?

hi,
I want conferencing, mobility, remote access, etc., to be automatically set to a defined policy so when I create a user, I don't have to go down the list to change the default from automatic to my custom policy. I don't want to edit the global
polices.
thanks,
rudif

Agree with Georg, you can do that using Powershell

Verizon Upgrade Policy Change

Just thought you guys may be interested in the latest development in Verizon's move to make everyone angry. Apparently they plan on ditching annual upgrades and no longer giving the additional NE2 discount for those eligible on contracts started after Jan 16th. They better ramp up their OS update testing otherwise a lot of people aren't going to be happy with keeping a phone for 2 years with slow updates.

Let me go ahead and post the text from that image, which is not a ToS violation:
2011 Upgrade Policy:
Overview
Verizon Wireless is simplifying the equipment upgrade policy for customers. Beginning January 16th, 2011, customers will be eligible for promotional pricing as well as special offers that we make available. Changes include retirement of the following programs:
- Annual Upgrade: Customers on 2-yr contracts will no longer be able to upgrade in months 13-20 of their 24 month contract as a standard policy.
- New Every Two (NE2): Customers will no longer be enrolled in NE2 at the time of activation/upgrade after January 16th.
Remember, both of these programs are for customers on 2-year contracts only. So customers on 1-year contracts are not impacted by these changes.
This training will help you understand the changes and provide you helpful information when explaining them to our customers.
Please feel free to edit your original post if you want to copy/paste the above, PJ.

HEY APPLE! What are upgrade policy plans for new systems shipping with 10.4

I just ordered a brand new Xserver, thinking that there would be some policy in place for brand new computers shipping with 10.4, to get the new version of OSX Leopard Server (without having to buy a retail copy) - however to my surprise, there is nothing currently in place.
Will there be an upgrade policy soon for users who have just ordered new computers, currently shipping with 10.4??? Or should we return recently ordered items, and stop ordering new systems until they start shipping with 10.5?

Assumptions such as this one are often a recipe for disappointment and/or for extra expenses; I've certainly learned to be cautious with these.
In this case, there is a policy that has been in place (AFAIK) since the Leopard announcement.
For details on and requirements of the Leopard upgrade policy, do read the [Mac OS X Up To Date|http://www.apple.com/macosx/uptodate> web site.
Those folks outside the Leopard upgrade window that are upgrading to Leopard (and that don't have a separately-purchased Right-to-Upgrade) will be purchasing and ordering the upgrade. You may end up purchasing an iLife upgrade, too — if you're using it, and not already at the current release — as Mac OS X and Mac OS X Server upgrades apparently do not include an iLife upgrade.

Since I uploaded the new OS X Mavericks the App Store, Messages, Notes, Calendar, Maps and Preview will not launch/open. In Finder cannot find my files. Most crucially cannot upgrade OS X Mavericks software. I had two apple ID's, the old one not used

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
Step 1
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your documents or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this behavior; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
*Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
Step 2
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
Please take this step regardless of the results of Step 1.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of Steps 1 and 2.
