Apple Launches OS X Mountain Lion via Mac App Store for $19.99

"The item is temporarily unavailable."
I guess they must've built that huge new datacenter for something else.

That is weird. The part that should fail is the transaction processing. The file itself should be cached, and given Apples site sits behind akamai, I would assume the downloadable content does too.

I got my redeem code, put it in, and it says it's already been used!!! Anyone else get this??

Same here!!! I got the 2 emails one with the pdf and one with the password. Opened up the PDF got the code and put it in the app store

This code has already been used. Each code may only be used once.

Looks like their PDF generator is spitting out the same codes...

Mine ended in YET

Newzealanders have to pay $25!! Lol!!!

I know aussies cant count but $25nzd is cheaper than $20.99aud........

 

[hyndman]

I have, but its mega slow says 7 plus hours to download.

Same here too... going between 5 and 7 hours

Got to the password dialog twice, but then error messaged.

19.99 USD to AUD is 19.43. Add 10% GST gives you 21.37. The app store price of 20.99 is a good deal.

I seriously can't believe someone is complaining about an OS price of $20.99.

I do think that people think they are so "badly treated" the rant at anything, often without researching their rant, first.

No Problems Here!!!

3/4th of the way done! Downloading at 4MB/s...WoooHoooo


SIDE NOTE: Anyone else notice that Lion has disappeared from the purchases category?

What is the official build for OS X Mountain Lion v10.8 ???

Could someone who has already downloaded the OS X Mountain Lion v10.8 from the Mac App Store today please confirm what is the official build ???

Thanks !

 

[pimentoLoaf]

No difficulties here. Started exactly at 8am and it's already 650 mb of 4.34 gb and counting. Clicked buy, asked for my password, and ... instant downloading.

 

[nzraider]

No problems here in New Zealand, $25 well spent. But it is going to take about 90 minutes to download.

 

[vahnx]

I have a claim reference number, but even though it said ZIP code and I'm from Canada it went through. I'm waiting for an email now to upgrade... it's been over 20 minutes.

 

[macjolt]

I got it within minutes. Code says it's already been used though.

Did you fill it out today, or when it mistakenly went up a few days ago? Everyone who filled one out a few days ago appears to be getting the "already used" error.

They probably sent out the same code to everyone!

No luck here in the UK yet, I am sure this is done on purpose to create some hype. Unfortunately it just looks unprofessional from a company that makes money from downloads (iTunes etc.)

15 minutes ago.

I've got the GM installed on my main Mac. Now how do I get it on my other Mac without downloading again?

Can't even download the GM as my code is already used. Great Apple.

Friendly advice from a former IBM big iron systems programmer: check with your oem software vendors (microsoft, adobe, etc) to see if they have any issues with or updates for their apps related to compatibility with the new operating system BEFORE you put it on your system.

 

[MRU]

This Item is Temporarily Unavailable error is messing with my head!!!



Anyone in Ireland, managed to actually get it downloading yet ???

Just filled mine out today but got the same error.

No problem, they have alternatives:
