I bought my brand new, sealed Macbook Pro 13 from an Ebay seller in the UK. It was obviously post June 8th 2009, but the question is how do I get my copy of the OS? it only seems to be for those who bought through the official channels.

I would call 0800 845 123 (I believe that's the Swiss 1-800 Apple Store) and explain your situation. I mean you are obviously eligible for the Up-To-Date Program. They should be able to verify your eligibility with your serial #

Or just register the Macbook on the up-to-date program with the 8th june date.

I put my MacMini details in and got the up to date offer, even though my was bought in May (item is in my basket, I have not bought it yet - I'm getting the family pack as I have 3 macs to do)
 
I'm in the UK so went onto the Apple Store site and asked them when I will be able to pre-order.

I was told the 1st week of September.

Should have posted a screenshot - but I guess you could ask the same thing.

I also asked for pricing information but was told this isn't available yet.
 
It has changed to September, both on the product page and also when I check my order status.

I'm in the UK and I had to mail in the forms when I ordered for up-to-date as online wasn't working. If I check the status via up-to-date it says that they received and approved my application and I will be charged when they ship. If I log into my account on the Apple Store, there is no note of an order at all - is this correct? Should I have something in my store account? No activity on my CC yet.

I'm in the exact same position as you.

Why did they change it to 28th aug though? It's a bit specific... I think there is still a chance it'll be the 28th it's just the UK store jumped the gun before their US bosses officially give them the go-ahead. I think it'll be official later today. At least that's what I'm hoping ;)

Apple is so secretive that even most employees don't know about some stuff. So that representative was probably told initially that it would be available to pre-order on Sept. 1. It could change.
 
Just had a rummage on like 20 different localisations and even the Server variation on the english stores - all are now posting September

Though i agree with the earlier statement - that August 28th is very specific - yet it is strage it migrated to other sites ... but was then withdrawn

Unless Apple didn't realise till after that people had cottened on ;)
 
Not only is the 28th specific, it corroborates previous information, which is odd. I assume those responsible for the UK Apple Store don't set their dates based on information they found on Macrumors. It could be a coincidence of course, but it seems unlikely.
 
My CC was charged on the up-to-date program yesterday, and I ordered on wednesday.

Apple UK must have accidentally posted it up, and if there is a press release later today, then all the stores may change the date. I think that it's gonna be changed, and it just went under the rug accidentally, and they thought they were supoosed to post it up last night. Clearly not :p

Maybe Up-To-Date people are gonna get it before the mainstream people... MUAHAH xD
 
Do you ever wonder if - Old Steve is sat there going ... Ya know what - It's been over a year since we announced this - It looks stable enough - Hell the people who want stable releases still got their nose up Tiger's *** - maybe we'll let the public have this and see what happens ... maybe i'll even release a tablet :)

Let's see - just checking ... Mac:Rumors ey? - let's see ... !!! What?! - they already know we we're gonna suprise them with early releases and new products?! - Screw them then - another Monitor update it is :mad: they can wait until they learn to be patient :mad:

Cos i know that's what i'd do :D

Hmm ... How long for 10.6.1, I wonder. After 10.5, there's no way I'm installing a point-oh update on any of my machines again!

Cheers

Were there that many issues with 10.5.0? I got my uMB at 10.5.6 so I wouldnt know. I really dont think I'd be able to hold off SL for even 3 weeks, I just really want it! :p
