Where do i enter my osx mountain lion code?

I have recieved my activation code from Apple for OS X Mountain Lion. Where do I go (whats the link) to enter this code and upgrade to save me $20?

The Apple Support Communities are an international user to user technical support forum. As a man from Mexico, Spanish is my native tongue. I do not speak English very well, however, I do write in English with the aid of the Mac OS X spelling and grammar checks. I also live in a culture perhaps very very different from your own. When offering advice in the ASC, my comments are not meant to be anything more than helpful and certainly not to be taken as insults.
1. Open the Mac App Store.
2. Make sure that you are signed into your account in the Store menu.
3. Clcik the Redeem link in the Quick Links on the right hand side of the Featured pane.
4. Enter the code to redeem and begin the download of the Mt Lion installer.

  • Just purchased imac, how do I redeem osx mountain lion code? I only see option to purchase in app store. Thxs.

    Just purchased imac, how do I redeem osx mountain lion code? I only see an option to purchase when I go to app store.

    I had gone to this link last night and was mailed the code. The email said to copy code and go to the app store to download the software. However when I click the mountain lion app the only option is to "buy". Is there a special link to redeem? What am I missing. Thxs.

  • OsX Mountain Lion Code not redeemed

    I receive a code for free downloading osx mountain lion for my new retina macbook pro. But when I try redeem it mac app store say that "This code has already bee Used".... What to DO??

    Called them. They have it shut down because "people were trying to get Mountain Lion before it ws released" anyways none of the codes will work, the rep told me I would get some new codes "later today". Kinda ****** deal but it is what it is... As if they can't tell when we submitted the request.

  • Still haven't recieved my OSX Mountain Lion code (110 hours)

    I requested my redemption code on the day Mountain Lion was released and I still have not recieved it 5 days (approx. 110 hours) later.
    When I spoke to apple 3 days ago they said I would recieve it within 24 hours, bu they are allowed 72 hours from the time of request.
    So when can I expect it, Im getting really dissapointed with Apple not living up to thier promises.

    Thanks for your input DS store.
    I have a brand new Macbook Pro 15" 2.2 GHz, and was purchased within the up-to-date OSX Lion free upgrade period.
    I use my mac primarily for basic things: Web, music, socialising.  If some more advanced programs wont work on Lion yet i'm not really concerned.  I do most of my serious business on my beast mode PC

  • I have a mac pro 1,1. I would like to know if its possible for me to upgrade the parts to where i can install osx mountain lion, or osx mavericks?

    I have a mac pro 1,1. I would like to know if its possible for me to upgrade the parts to where i can install osx mountain lion, or osx mavericks? I am currently adding more ram so it will have 32gb of ram, i have 2 250gb HDD but adding a 250gb SSD , and have a ATI Radeon HD 4870 512mb that i will most likely upgrade to an ATi Radeon HD 5570 1gb.

    The SSD will boot fast, but the real change is launching 10 programs in 10 seconds and being able to use them. (20 seconds for a few big suites).
    I would not add or upgrade to 32GB RAM. You can get 8 x 2GB for $100 on Amazon.
    Those 250GB HDD are "old" and slow and overdue to be replaced, reformat and use t o backup the system.
    Samsung 250GB SSD is down to $150 or so on Amazon also.
    The 5770 is gone, hard to find, EOL and over charged for when you do find one.
    you could look into how to use a PC 6870 or others.
    Or, you could hold out and wait for a refresh of Mac-Mini which can be just as fast or faster and run Mavericks.

  • Where can I find my iphone backup in OSX Mountain Lion?

    The folder /Library/Application Support/MobileSync/ is not available in the OSX Mountain Lion. Where can I find my iphone backups in the Mountain Lion?

    That's just the thing.. there is NO /MobileSync/Backup/ folder in my OSX Mountain Lion, or at least I cannot find it anywhere.

  • Where to download OSX Mountain Lion (now that Mavericks is out)?

    I have a 2005 Macbook Pro Intel Core Duo running 10.7.5 and tried unsuccessfully to upgrade to Mavericks.  Because the Macbook is too old, Mavericks is not supported on it.
    So given that, I'd like to upgrade the Macbook to the last version of OSX Mountain Lion 10.8.  But can't find it in the App store any more.  Is there someplace to download and install this older version for older computers like mine?

    I called Apple Support Sales, 800-My-Apple, and their response was that while 10.9 Mavericks is free for download, those computers that cannot support 10.9, but are on 10.7.5 or earlier can PURCHASE 10.8 at $19.95.
    I found this unfair, given that newer Macs can upgrade for free, but older ones have to pay to get an older version of the SW.  It looks like either I come up with $19.95, get a new MacBook Pro, or just stay with 10.7.5.
    I don't think that this is good customer relations.

  • Where can I find a list of compatible videocameras for OSX Mountain Lion?

    I need a list of compatible videocameras I can use with my Mac OSX Mountain Lion.  Can someone help me?  I have always used a Canon ZR 950, but I was told it would not work with this new iMac.  Is there an adaptor that would work with it?  I bought a Thunderbolt, but it would not connect it.

    You may have a hard time finding a list of Mountain Lion compatible video cameras as it can depend on which video editing software you're using.

  • How do i connect my AOC Monitor (N19WB) to work on my MacBook Pro 13 (OSX Mountain Lion) it wont recognise it.

    Have Apple Mac put something in their computers to stop me connecting my AOC N19WB monitor to my Mac Book? (Thats silly of course not!) because their own monitors are on average around £ 800.00 each and people like me have to save a long time just to buy the MacBook and cant afford a Mac monotor as well (not for a long time anyway). Please Apple i only bought this brand new Mac Book 13 (OSX Mountain Lion) because i want to run Logic 9 without problems. If i cant even get it to work with my monitor it doesnt instill me with confidence. 
    Anyway guys,  I have bought the right lead followed all the instructions but when i get to 'dispay' via preferences i dont see the same window that i am looking at on a range of forums and/or utube demonstrations.  My window shows 2 options - 'Colour and 'Display'. All others that i have seen in addition show 'Arrangements'. Which i guess is the one that gives you the options as to which extenal monitor you wish to use. Other people have said that you just plug it in and the MacBook finds it for you (not on this machine)! Monitor just displays 'NO SIGNAL' and MaBook 'NO DEVICE DETECTED'.
    Please is there any advise out there for me?
    Yours Desperately

    Hi, your post has been more helpful to me than Telstra's tech. support.
    I have installed the generic manager and my 885 modem is now recognised and it appears to connect however there are no ip addresses listed under network preferences. You mention a driver. Is this something else I need to install? Do you have a link? Do I need to manually enter network settings? I should add that I am using Lion 10.7.3 Many thanks for your time

  • My friend have new Macbook Air with OSX Mavericks and I have Macbook Pro with OSX Mountain Lion, Can I create a bootable maverick in pendrive from macbook air and perform a clean installation/update on my macbook pro with osx mountain lion?

    I have late 2012 edition Macbook Pro, I have a internet connection with does not run smoothly It gets disconnected and reconnects Thus I failed everytime when I update my OSX Mountain Lion to Mavericks in App Store. My friend just bought 2013 end Macbook Air whicch have OSX Mavericks pre installed.
    I was hoping if I can create a OS X version in pendrive from his laptop and use that to install and thuss also update OS on my Mountain Lion.
    Kindly explain me in detail how to perform this.
    I have already taken back up of all files and I am ready to total clean my laptop.
    And I want to update to Maverick so I can thus further update to upcoming OS X Yosemite.

    The Mavericks on the Air is probably machine specific since it came pre-installed, so it wouldn't work on your computer. See if your friend will let you access the App Store, where you can sign in using your Apple ID and download the installer. You can use this free program to copy the installer and update your computer.

  • Ever since i downloaded OSX Mountain Lion, Express VPN no longer works properly for me. Even though it says I am connected, webpages refuse to load. However, everything works fine when its turned off. I cannot go on many websites without the VPN.

    Ever since i downloaded OSX Mountain Lion, Express VPN no longer works properly for me. Even though it says I am connected, webpages refuse to load. However, connection speed is fine when its turned off. I cannot go on many websites without the VPN. My current location is Shanghai, China. OSX Mountain was installed this morning and everything worked fine until then. Is Express VPN not supported? What do i need to do in order to get it working again on my Macbook Pro (early 2011). I want to be able to go on websites such as Youtube, Facebook, Twitter, ect...

    Hi,
    I am having the same issue listed above on my new Mac Mini i just bought, I also contacted Express VPN support and got the same instructions with exception of the command to run in the utilities terminal.  I tried the steps listed, and both commands (posted here, and sent to me directly by Express VPN support), and still unable to connect on my Mac Mini running OS X 10.8.2, but I am able to connect on my iPad and my MacBook which is running Mac OS X 10.6.8.  Usually Express VPN is spot on with their customer support, but this is taking longer to get resolved.  Here is the steps sent to me
    Try doing the following to see if the problem gets resolved:
    Please follow the instructions here: https://www.expressvpn.org/support/setting_dns_servers_mac_os
    (should still be the same for Lion) and then add the following DNS servers: 8.8.8.8 & 208.67.222.220. After adding the DNS servers, please do the following steps as well:
    Note: If you're connecting to your ISP via a PPPoE connection, then set the DNS servers on the PPPoE connection itself and then restart your computer for the DNS settings to take effect.
    1. Click on Applications
    2. Click on Utilities
    3. Click on Terminal
    4. Type the following command (without the quotes): "sudo killall -HUP mDNSResponder"
    5. Press enter and then try reconnecting to the VPN.
    If you're still unable to connect, please send us in the latest log files.
    Hope this helps. Let us know how it goes.

  • How do i reinstall the OSX mountain lion on my mac bought at different app store when living in that country?

    I have bought the OSX Mountain Lion during my stay in Singapore and couldn't able to reinstall in Sweden (Where i currently reside). Any suggestions please.

    It should not make any difference where you are located.  Have you examined these support articles:

  • OSX Mountain Lion "Messages" will not let me sign in...

    I cannot for the life of me get messages to work on the new OSX mountain lion.  I keep getting this alert when trying to sign in:
    "COULD NOT SIGN INTO iMESSAGE. The server encountered an error processing registration.  Please try again later."
    Any ideas?  I have restarted both my macbook and macpro, reset my apple ID password... no love.

    I have spent over 40 hour walking through this issue with Apple senior tier engineering support with Apple for Mountain Lion and Developer support, plus the Apple store genius bar and their high level connection, Getting no where trying to resolve same issue it seems.  The only thing I can get to work is AIM to video chat or share screens.  Messages accounts have added 5 other account .mac accounts and I can not sign into any of them or remove any of them either.  Over time I have had a .mac address that was made into a mobile me address that was then converted into a .mac email again and became a cloud account. And I have a developer account that has a separate name that works with iTunes connect.  When I try to manage accounts to change the password of one it corrupts the the password of the other. When I try the change emails of one it says it is in use by the other.
    There are 2 accounts for the iTunes and App Store. 
    Messages is choking on my 2 accounts and there is a definite unresolved problem with the cloud in regard to them it seems.

  • I downloaded OSX Mountain Lion via the App Store but I can't download to my other mac

    I downloaded Mac OSX Mountain Lion via the App Store.  My understanding is that you can download it on up to 3 machines?
    I have downloaded it to one iMac and one MBP but have one more to do.  I've accessed the App Store with my admin logon on my last MBP to download it but can't seem to find it in my purchased history to do it.
    I can go into iTunes into my account and then purchase history where it's recorded, but there's nothing here about how to download it again?
    Any advice greatly appreciated.

    Log into the Mac App Store using the EXACT same Apple ID as before when you first purchased ML, and in your Account look under "Purchases", where you can download it again.
    Hope this helps
