Apple Mistakenly Sending Out OS X Server Replacement Up-to-Date Codes

What password are you referring too? The only password needed to redeem a code is your Apple ID's password, which only you are supposed to know.

oh.. there was a PDF!!! First time I hear that.. I'm sorry to hear you are having a bad time getting your code.

Well, the information is legally yours, so try using this app to unlock the PDF file:

Welp. ML is fully installed. My 2012 MacBook Pro seems a tad bit slower... :(

My 2007 MBP actually seems faster with ML than with Lion. I'm actually enjoying it again.

Try clearing the PRAM and see if that improves the speed a little.
Do you have an antivirus installed? it may slow you down.
Also, in the beginning it may seem slow as it has to index all the files you transfer back to the main drive and the files on the external drive.

I have no doubt Apple staff have been working day and nite to remedy this situation. This is why Apple is top of all the customer service ratings. Apple work tirelessly to please each and every one of their loyal customers.

And Mountain Lion is just incredible. It's definitely the most amazing version of OS X yet. I just paid for a copy when I could get the update for free with my developer account. It's just a small token of my appreciation to Apple for their work.

When compared to the direction Microsoft is moving in with Windows 8, there's really only one player left in this game now: Apple. Microsoft has thrown in the towel and is now desperately trying to establish itself as a mobile player at the expense of real computer users. Moving forward, only Apple can provide a world class computer operating system that sits alongside the most incredible mobile operating system on the planet: iOS.

While the update with ML is nice. I am not completely convinced that Windows 8 is 'throwing in the towel'. I have been using it for a month and I have to say it is a step in the right direction. (especially for MS).
 
Dear friends,

I'm from M'sia. (Asia)
I register for the redeem code of Mountain Lion in Apple official website but not through http://www.apple.com/asia/
By the way, I did select Msia as my country.
I don't know whether i still will be approved.
I done my registration on 25th (night).
I have been waited for nearly 3 days.
What should i do now?

Thanks
 
Submitted Wednesday around noon, got my codes just now for mountain lion and mountain lion server. I actually purchased a mac mini server in June, so I legitimately am entitled to both codes.
 
I'm approaching 54 hours and still no email of my code. Apple did send me an email last night though telling me ML is out.

I want my code. I hope it is here before I get done with work in 2 hours.

Is ML Server technically an add-on to ML or is it a standalone OS?
 
Received my code a few hours ago, took approx 52 hours.

I only submitted the once, when the process was actually open (not the early window).


Just downloading from the App store now - it is ML and not MLServer.
 
Guess I'm one of the lucky ones, got my first code in about 36 hours. No issues here in VA :)
 
3 codes , all worked...

;) Is so funny , my codes all worked!!! ,I only had one qualifying machine , but I received 3 total, and they all worked, so I used them on the 2 other MACS, downloaded and installed three new LIONS , is all good. I did e mail UPdate support twice , and I had submitted the claim on the 25th , I had to do it a couple of times too. Now is time to explore this Mountain Lion ... :p
 
Received my code after 46 hours. I did send an email to Tim Cook and received a nice response from an assistant of his.

Apple is obviously aware of the issue. I still believe they really executed it poorly, but I can also tell they are trying to remedy it.
