Why i can't download lion for free?

Hi,
I bought my macbook recently and it suppose to be free for me to download lion from the app store but it's not. can anyone tell me why the app store still asking me to buy it?  

But it can be that it says, your Sn is invalid.

  • If I buy Lion Server for my iMac can I download Lion for free on my MacAir?

    If I buy Lion Server for my iMac can I download Lion for free on my MacAir?

    Well, it hasn't worked that way for me.
    I bought Lion for $29 from the App Store this morning, and DLed/installed it on my MacBook Pro with no problem.  This afternoon I went to upgrade my Snow Leopard Server Mac Mini.  Went to the App Store, clicked the Lion Server at $49.99, and was prompted that "because this is an OS X server, you must purchase a OS X Lion as well as OS X Lion Server, for $79.98"  [Cancel]  [Purchase Both]
    If I try to install just Lion from my "Purchased" list in App Store, I get exactly the same message.  If I try to install Lion from an install DVD, I get a "checking with App Store" and then the same message.
    Spent over an hour on the phone with Enterprise Sales, who agreed that's not what was supposed to happen, but had no resolution.  It isn't critical to me timewise so they are mulling the situation over.
    My recommendation if you have SLS and clients to upgrade is to do the Lion/Lion Server purchase *first* for the server.  Hopefully then the Lion license will be available for your other machines.  I can't guarantee it, but I can guarantee that the other way *doesn't* work.

  • Why I can't download iMovie for free, if I bought my iPhone 5c in march 2014 ?

    I got an iPhone 5c in march of this year and I already upgraded to iOS 8 and iMovie, numbers,pages, are not for free ... why ? I'm in mexico and apple's mexico web site says the same as yours "iMovie, GarageBand, Pages, Numbers, and Keynote are free on the App Store for qualifying iOS 8 compatible devices with initial activation on or after September 1, 2013. Seewww.apple.com/ios/whats-new/ for iOS 8 compatible devices. Downloading apps requires an Apple ID"
    Thanks

    Are you using WiFi (as opposed to cellular data) when you try the download?
    The download is too big to be done using cellular data.

  • How can i know if  I can download lion for free ?

    how can i know if i can download lion for free , and if i found i can can i get a refund?

    You must have purchased a new Mac on or after June 6th. You then have 30 days from the release of Lion in which to make your claim. See
    Lion Up-To-Date upgrade
    "The Mac OS X Lion Up-To-Date upgrade is available at no additional charge via the Mac App Store to all customers who purchased a qualifying new Mac system from Apple or an Apple Authorized Reseller on or after June 6, 2011. Users must request their Up-To-Date upgrade within 30 days of purchase of their Mac computer. Customers who purchase a qualifying Mac between June 6, 2011 and the date when Lion is available in the Mac App Store will have 30 days from Lion’s official release date to make a request."

    Submit your claim here: http://www.apple.com/macosx/uptodate/

  • Hey, I wanna download Lion for free, so i need UP-TO-DATE , but it do not works , please help

    Hey, I wanna download Lion for free, so i need UP-TO-DATE , but it do not works , please help

    I think you misunderstood the guy. The up-to-date program isn't working for a lot of people. I'm eligible for the free upgrade but it fails to recognise my serial. From what I've read, this is affecting a lot of people who purchased their computers online. Apple seems to be fixing the issue though, so my advice would be to keep trying. Alternatively, click on the manual verificaton link so they can check your order for you and send the redemption code after they do.

  • Can I download Pages for free onto my late 2012 macbook pro

    Can I download Pages for free onto my late 2012 Macbook Pro with retina display and 8 gb of memory.  The machine is running Yosemite Versus 10.10.1. 

    Pages is free for those that have purchased a new Mac. If you have never owned Pages before, then it is a purchase product for you. I suggest you look at the product reviews in the App Store, before you rush to purchase it. It is not a Word clone either.

  • Where can i download AAC for free ?

    where can i download AAC for free ?

    The iTunes Store. It's not free, though; there's no legal place where you can download copyrighted music without some sort of charge except for those very few tracks the iTunes Store makes available for free or that artists have released themselves.
    There's no need to get tracks in AAC, though. MP3 tracks work just fine in iTunes and on Apple's players. Several download stores, such as Amazon, offer tracks in MP3.
    Regards.

  • Can I download Oracle9i for free

    Hi,
    When I was searching through google for free database downloads, I come accross the following url :
    http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/index.html
    where I can see all oracle products, can I download Oracle9i for free, so that I don't face problem with regarding to payment etc, in future. Wherein I am using JBoss developing ejbs, now planning to go for database, something which is open source. Yeah I come accrosss MySQL, but when I can download Oracle9i for free, no need to think of MySQL., please guide me.
    Regards
    Shiva.

    Yes, you can download Oracle9i database at the very bottom of the page you have quoted. The license allows you to use it for development purposes only and you would license the product when you go to a production environment. You will see the full terms of the license when you go to download it.
    Regards

  • I don't have iphoto or imovie. Do I have to buy them, or can I download them for free?

    Just bought a used mac mini that was restored back to factory settings. I don't have iphoto or imovie. Do I have to buy them, or can I download them for free? I saw in the app store that they were 14.99, but I thought they came with the computer. I'm new to the Mac world, so any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks

    They can be downloaded, but they are not free. You have a used computer. It was your responsibility to find out from the seller if they were installed. The seller gets the apps tied to his/her Apple ID. For you to use and update them would require you to purchase your own copies tied to your Apple ID.

    If I have downloaded an paid app in iPad
    Can I download it for free in iMac

    You can download the iPad app to Mac's iTunes for safe keeping but it will not run on OS X.
    You will need to download the app using Mac App Store whether paid or free to run on OS X.

  • I would like to know why I can not download apps for other apple products.  There is a very limited selection for Mac Book Pro.

    I would like to know why I can not download apps for other apple products.  Mac Book Pro's selection is quite limited. 

    The games available for the iPad from the App Store will not be compatible with any computer other than an iDevice. To check for available games/Apps for the MacBook Pro you would need to check the Mac App Store, assuming of course that you are running at least OS 10.6.6.
