Yeah, I have 10.5.8 on my 2009 MBP.
Dug around and found the OS install disk that came with the iMac.
Disk says OS version 10.6.1.
So if I wanted to proceed, I'd install 10.6.1 on my MBP, then update to 10.6.8, then I could install ML?
Does that sound about right?
For those of you that know more than me, is all this hassle worth it to install on my 09 MBP?
Your macbook is not on the upgrade list. I have the same model (white) and feel bummed about it but not surprised.
You can't use that disk, grey disks are machine specific. You need a retail of SL or Lion thumb.
gonna let the whole rush drama slide,
will be till next week before i update
Thanks to my awesome internet its gonna take a week to complete the download

how long to receive validation email
for the free updaters....How long did it take to get your validation email?

Pleasantly surprised by the UK price...£13.99, was expecting £20+ Fast download too...So far, so good.
Me too, well chuffed.
Downloaded and installed on my rMBP, can't believe how much faster Safari is.
Trust, you're not the only one.
I'm in the same boat. It sounds like if you don't get an email within 20 minutes or so you're going to be waiting for a while. Has anyone who has waited for over an hour actually gotten a code?
mhhh..waiting 6 hours now, still no code
I have been waiting a good 5 or 6 hours now and no code. I resubmitted my claim about 2 hours ago as well. -_- come on apple it's only a code.
I tried to resubmit and an error came up saying that the serial number was already in the system. Shouldn't be too long......or at least that's what i'm telling myself.
I got that error but I pushed the next button loads really quick and it worked :L
----------
anyone have any idea how long it takes for the code to be submitted through email? im so desperate every time i get an email I'm
Tell me about it. -_- I'm fed up of refreshing my inbox every 10 mins

From what we know so far either less than 15 minutes, or more than 6 hours. Good luck.
It's looking like Apple have messed this up
I submitted my claim when the update site temporarily went live the other day, but never received my e-mails.
Today, still no e-mails so I tried re-submitting but the site said that this serial number had already been submitted. So I rang Apple and after doing battle with that stupid Siri-like natural language voice system I finally got to speak to someone.
He said he could see my submitted claim and said he would re-send the e-mails - an hour later there's still no sign of them.
He did however give me the website address where I should report this - expresslane.apple.com then All Products & Services -> iTunes -> iTunes Store -> Purchases, Billing & Redemption -> The topic is not listed, then enter a Subject in the box that appears, click Continue, and you'll get a page to e-mail them the details - include the serial number of your Mac. The chap I spoke to said they would process it ASAP and that they are working flat out.
I'll give it another half-hour then do that.

The one upside of us taking ages to get our codes will be that there will be less strain on the servers now so we should get a bit of a faster download

If they don't arive in the next hour im going to call apple as well. -_-

I just called AppleCare here in Denmark and asked why it could take so long for sending a code for me when i placed my "order" at 14.50 and haven't got any here at 19.40. And she would send the email one more time.. Hope it goes faster.. Im really thinking of buying it !
