What do you do about a denial in the Mountain Lion Up-To-Date program?

I ordered my new Mac Mini from Amazon.com on Friday, July 27th and received it on July 28th.  Later that day I filled out my Up-To-Date application form and uploaded a copy of my Amazon invoice.  That evening I received a denial email saying:
Receipt does not indicate product was paid for and received
Receipt does not show purchase of a qualifying product
The next day, I sent off an email to [email protected] questioning my denial and included a scan of my actual Mac Mini box. 
I made a Genius appointment at an Apple Store and took them my information on Monday the 30th.  They looked at my receipt and the internal Apple records and agreed everything was in order, but didn't have the actual power to change anything.  They would have been happy to upgrade me to Mountain Lion on the spot, but I hadn't brought the actual mini in.  All I wanted was my authorization code.  They suggested I contact ExpressLane.
I went home and opened a support ticket with ExpressLane.  They called, agreed everything was legitimate and valid, but also did not have the power to  change anything.  They suggested I email [email protected], which I already had done. 
Yesterday, July 31st, I sent another email to [email protected] summarizing the text thus far and asking what I needed to do.
An hour ago, August 1st, I received another identical denial from the UpToDate program stating the exact same reasons. 
Do they even read the appeal emails?  I bought a brand-new Mac Mini on Saturday from an Apple Reseller and they tell me I'm not eligible?  I know it's only a $20 purchase, but it's now become the principle of the matter.
Where do I go from here? 

I tend to agree but I was told they didn't give out refunds in this case.  It's not that big of a deal yet because this is actually my first Mac and I didn't see anything on the list of features that I had to have. 
My biggest concern was that there doesn't even seem to be an appeal process.  The Apple Store and Apple Support people looked at their records and saw that everything was legitimate but couldn't do anything. It's like the UpToDate support people didn't even read my email or bother to even look at my information.  Thats the part that's most annoying about this.  That and the fact that they even denied it at all, considering I sent them the Amazon invoice and Apple records show they sold it to me in the first place.

    What do you think about Quick Office for the IPad

    You could also have a look at the following www.rollapp.com, I have only recently found it.
    You have access to the full OpenOffice and LibreOffice library of program's  and it syncs with Dropbox,google docs and others.
    You do require an Internet connection as it is cloud based.
    At present I have only used it for quick editing but I think it definitely looks promising and it is free

  • What number should I put in "Number of Qualifying system for right to copy" in OS mountain lion up-to-date program form?

    what number should I put in "Number of Qualifying system for right to copy" in OS mountain lion up-to-date program form? I'm a newbie on mac, just bought MBA two weeks ago. I've tried software update but it is not upgraded to mountain lion. what should I do to upgrade for free?

    I'm on the page "https://uptodate.apple.com/UtdPrepareAction?program=Mountain%20Lion&locale=en_au"
    and I still have the same question as the original poster, what number should I enter into the field:
    "Number of qualifying systems".. cause "1" doesn't do it.. and the other numbers don't work... >:___:<

  • What do you think about parallels desktop? the program to work with Windows on a Mac

    I have no problem, I just want to tell me if it's worth installing it, if it givesproblems or incompatibility
    thanks

    when my son installed (how I don't know)  windows 7, I cant access MAC.  Its completely windows 7. 
    However I found out that the MBP dvd install was inside the dvd drive.  I tried to eject it but it did, so I turned computer off and at the same time right click.  The dvd ejected and the MAC is back, the windows 7 is gone.
    I am not familiar with MAC so i am learning as I use it.
    Thanks for your help

  • IPad 3 light leak under the bezel? What have you done about it?

    If you have an iPad 3. Tilt towards you, looking underneath the bezel (under the camera) has your iPad got any lights showing? It's not bleeding onto the screen, in fact it doesn't interfere at all under normal use of the iPad. I have read many forums and it does seem to be quite common,but i would like to know what have you done about it? Have you replaced within 14 days and got a brand new iPad and been satisfied ? Or have you had another with worse or different issues? Or have you ignored the issue and kept the iPad?
    I walked into comet and the first iPad 3 I picked up had exactly the same issue. I asked the bloke, he said yes? It's no problem, it's common in led screens and with the iPads new retina screen your bound to get this problem on some but it's no problem as doesn't effect your everyday use. Not the point though is it, we pay 400-579 for this thing!
    I also rang apple and they spoke with their technical team and they came back and said the lights under the bezel seems unusual. To try and restore the iPad and see if that solves it. Solves a hardware problem?? How did they get their jobs? Crazy. So now I am in the middle of returning the iPad for a replacement but I am debating whether to even bother as I have read a lot of replacements people have received have numerous other problems, like dead pixels, light leakage, scratches.
    I would appreciate any feedback from those who have had this same issue and what did you do about it ?

    Mine has some along the right side. It is very slight, and does not affect the screen,even with a black image displayed in a dark room. So I chose to ignore it. This iPad will be going back though, as the bottom half of the screen has a pink tint on it. My advice is to see if it affects a dark picture in a dark room. If it doesn't, I would keep it. But in the end, you have to make your own decision and be comfortable with it. :)

  • Adobe, what do you think about that ?

    - one day I was demoing DPS to 35 people in Paris. The whole day the servers were barely accessible. For the reputation and reliability of DPS that was wonderful.
    - another day I was doing a little DPS demo for Adobe. Again the same problem.
    - another day, the demo was ruined because the servers were so slow.
    - this Monday morning, I open my iPad and I can see my latest Folio in ACV.
    In the afternoon I join Adobe reps and partners and other VIPs in London for the launch of CS6. There I go with my iPad and what a surprise when I want to show the Folio to an Adobe representative ?
    Despite being signed in, all my folios where archived and all in Download state. I could not access a WiFi and even if I could I think that downloading 500 Mb would be impossible.
    Many people where asking me :
    —"And are you teaching DPS ?"
    – I said "Yes, I'm even working on it for real projects."
    — "Do you have one to show us ?"
    – "No, because Adobe's software, for a reason that I don't understand, deleted all my folios a few moments ago and I would have to redownload them again. ACV sucks".
    People to who I have talked to where Adobe people, chiefs of graphic studios (newspaper, agency,...), potential clients for DPS,...
    There was even of Adobe person that told me : "We are receiving a lot of complaints about the technical model of DPS, and you're right, it's terrible".
    There are so many problems with this app and with the servers.
    DPS's reputation will may be better when one day we just play offline with the folios like a PDF in GoodReader for instance.
    DPS is exploding my bandwidth.

    Peter, that is sad. If a publisher decides to pull the issue from the
    server, that's like burning down their own library of things.
    Apple wanted adobe to stop downloading such large data into the storage
    that will be backed up. So issues now go into the cache, that will not be
    uploaded to the Icloud storage.
    Because you buy a 64gb iPad, but get only 2Gb of online storage.

  • How much info about the cache-cluster does the client have and What would you recommend about putting the cluster behind virtual ip

    Hi,
    I will appreciate if someone can point me to some documentation as to how app-fabric client library accesses the app-fabric cluster.
    What I have found so far is that the list of hosts provided in the client configuration are used as an entry point into the Cache-Cluster. By connecting to one of hosts, the client will download information about all the hosts constituting the cluster.
    Since a named cache is distributed across the entire cluster, and the data can be stored on any node. How does the client decide which node it should connect to, to get the data from. Does the client have enough information to know which host has the data
    or the client will connect to one of the nodes, if the node has data, it will serve it otherwise redirect the client to the node that has the data.
    I also would like to know what do you say about the idea that we would like to put our cache-cluster behind a virtual ip, so that if needed, we can take down nodes or add more nodes. In fact the virtual ip will that of a load balancer, but we don't plan to
    use it for load balancing purposes but the idea is that the client will have the virtual ip address and we can repoint this IP address, if we need to take out a node for maintenance reason. 

    I'm not sure about the reason for putting the cache servers in a VIP, but one of the reasons why the cache servers should be made known to the servers is because of auto load balancing and throughput
    Imagine i have 10 cache servers running on 1G ethernet links, theoretically i have 10G usable bandwidth and the clients will be able to manage and load balance if any of the cache server fails or have performance issues
    Now if all these were parked behind a VIP
    1. The LB now does the load balancing, which may not be optimal
    2. The LB may not have 10G upstream and 10G downstream, even if it has, this is quite a waste of resource\

  • I would like to have a solar panel on my iPhone so I can have a constant state of charge what do you think about that?

    I would like to have a solar panel on my iPhone so I can have a constant state of charge what do you think about that?

    I am among this community since I invested much into this corporation. I rather go to the consumers just to discuss an idea I would like for this corporation to achieve. I do not like to purchase third party accessories as they seem to fail my expectations or the fact that it is not worth it when i finally see what they have made. Yes they are good products but there is much disappointment when I look to third-party products that say they are engineering products for the iPhone or other Apple device I have purchase. Just a thought no need to be so hostile.

  • What do you think about IPlanet 6.x Application server?

    Hi,
    Right now our company is developing an important project with J2EE. Our customer has IPlanet 6.5 application server. So far, we have had lots of problems with it.
    What do you think about it?.
    Would we consider to change the application server?.

    We also have had a lot of problems, although to be fair we have got it running reasonably reliabily now but only after disabling some of its features such as clustering. Make sure you have the maintence pack 1 installed. Ask Sun about the problems you are having often we would get a reply saying it was a known bug etc, unfortunatly no bug list is made available by sun...

  • What do you think about iPad 3?

    iPad 3 is most likely (pretty much certainly) going to be unveiled on March 7, 2012. What do you think iPad 3 will incorporate, based on this photo?

    Hmm... maybe Apple put those apps in the picture to fool us, they're really going to withdraw them?
    What is most interesting about that pic is the lack of a home button... but I don't think that means anything for this model.

  • What do you think about the html5?

    I've been seeing developers philosophizing about the future, and I want to know what do you think about the brand new html5?
    mainly because the html5 can take out of the market technology ( flex ).
    thanks for the opinion!!!
    [email protected]

    Yep this is most definitely not just a rumor, I've found plenty of sources talking about this.
    Here's someone's take on HTML5, a non-Adobe perspective, from a Silverlight developer.  I thought this would be interesting to mention.  Not sure I agree 100% with everything said (IE may not be most used browser and I don't believe in DRM), but it's an interesting read anyway:
    Yes, you can do a LOT of stuff with HTML5 + JS that Silverlight is good for. But HTML5 will only reach Candidate Recommendation status in 2012 - if Silverlight keeps the current pace, it will be at V7 by then.
    HTML5 will only get you approximately what Silverlight had at V1.0. A Canvas element, some video playback capabilites, and a Javascript programming model. Can you imagine how further advanced Silverlight 4 is at the moment?
    Actually, scratch that - the video quality and availability of HTML5 is a lot worse than what Silverlight has to offer. There is no DRM, no Smooth Streaming, not even full screen! No GPU acceleration either. Even the codec HTML5 has to support is not standardized! This results in Firefox 3.6 having only Theora decoder, and Youtube experimenting with HTML in H.264 (on the same day FF3.6 launched), only playable in approx. 4-5% of the world's browsers.
    Internet Explorer is still the most widely used browser on the web, and does not have HTML5. Currently, there are more Silverlight capable browsers browsing the web than HTML5 compatible ones. I don't think that in the next 3 years you will be able to create an HTML5 app and hope that at least 50% of the world's population can view it without switching browsers. (and remember: installing a plugin is a lot less hassle than switching to a new browser!)
    HTML5 will not be truly cross-browser standard for quite a long time, if ever. There are too many things that the browser developer can do as they wish - just think about the aforementioned video codec issue. There are too many little differences in each browser's Javascript implementation to make it really portable.
    The developer story: nothing in the HTML + JS world comes close to the awesome Visual Studio and Expression Blend tools. Javascript is cool for small apps, but cannot hold a candle to C# when it comes to serious development. Fighting with browser and OS incompatilities takes up a huge amount of time for any HTML website or web app - with Silverlight you don't have this.
    Just compare what the best HTML / Ajax company in the world (Google) did with maps, and what MS did to see the difference. Go tohttp://maps.google.com/ (watch out - the Streetview part is in Flash, not Ajax), and compare it to http://www.bing.com/maps/explore/. That is the difference I am talking about.
    Of course he means (or should have meant) Flex/Flash rather than just Flash.  As for the GWT and other AJAX fanboys who I guess think browser compatibility problems are going to be a thing of the past (or won't be a drag on corporate bottom lines - haha), it makes you wonder what other wild fantasies they're envisioning for the future.  Next they'll come and tell us XML-based protocols are going to be as fast as AMF...

  • What do you think about our design

    Dear sir, madame,
    What do you think about our design:
    Mini Paarden shop
    Looking forward hearing your opinion.
    Kind regards,

    Hello Mariska,
    Browsing on an iPad, the search bar + cart Infos are hidden on the right hand side of the page (I need to scroll to see it). Depending on your target audience and the devices they uses, it might be an issue if they can't complete the order process because they don't see where the cart is...
    Apart from that, the design overall strikes me as clear enough to be browsable, IMO it does the job!
